Chapter 239 How did he know

Shinobu couldn't believe what she just witnessed. Ichigo stabbed her lord with a sword that came out of thin air. 

She wanted to stop him, but Hinaki, her lord's daughter, stopped her and everyone first.

"Please wait, everyone. Look at the father's curse mark. It shrunk!"

Then she saw his curse begin to shrink and disappear. Not only that, her lord's hidden power was awakened.

His body emitted a pale blue light before the floor beneath him froze. 

Snow began to fall inside the room. 

The temperature dropped so quickly that she almost couldn't feel her fingers anymore.

"This isn't good." Shinobu heard Ichigo, and he did something that made the temperature return to normal. His entire body was engulfed in a reddish aura.

"Are you all okay?" He asked everyone out of concern. And when he saw that everyone was okay, His focus then went back to her lord.

"I have to put a seal on his lordship to control his uncontrollable power for a bit. Otherwise, his lordship might accidentally hurt someone." 

He then put his hand over her lord, and then the pale blue light began to dim until it was barely visible.

"This should be acceptable for now. Please bring his lordship to his room for him to rest. He should wake up in an hour."

Ichigo checked his condition and spoke to his wife.

Amane nodded her head. She called for the guards to help her carry Kagaya to his room. She was happy that her husband's curse had finally been lifted.

She bowed to Ichigo and thanked him for his help in saving her husband.

"Thank you so much, your lordship, for helping my husband. We will do everything to repay you for your kindness."

Her daughters and son saw that she bowed to Ichigo and followed. They also said that they would do anything to repay him.

Ichigo nodded and accepted their gratitude. He knew that, even if he didn't accept it. with their personalities that he could perceive, they would still try to repay him, for sure.

"Then please excuse me, your lordship. I have to go and attend to my husband."

Amane excused herself, but before she left to take care of Kagaya, She instructed her children to help Ichigo with anything he needed while she was away.

Hinaki as well as the other children nodded in agreement, eager to assist Ichigo in any way they could. To them, he was their benefactor.

Ichigo looked at Ubuyashiki Quintuplet and then at Shinobu. He could feel that they also had Yokai bloodlines in them.

"Do you all also want to have the same power as his lordship?" Ichigo asked directly.

Hearing his question, they looked at each other.

Hinako was the first one to answer him.

"Would it be alright if your lordship helped us? We don't know how to repay your lordship when your lordship has already helped our father. If your lordship helped us, we could only give ourselves to your lordship as a sign of our eternal gratitude." Hinako offered themselves to him.

"But for Kiriya, it might be a bit—"

"Stop, I don't swing that way, my lady." Ichigo stopped her. He knew that Kiriya was a guy who wore a female kimono.

The Ubuyashiki family was cursed by the demon progenitor. The male members of the family were raised as females to avoid the curse.

It made him feel like Deja Wu. Didn't Ravel also want to offer herself to him as well? Why did Noble always think of something like this?

"Don't worry, I have accepted Kagaya-dono's offer and will become a Hashira for the Ubuyashiki family. By accepting his lordship offer, helping you all awaken your bloodline is something I should do."

Ubuyashiki Quintuplet, when they heard that, became happy. If they had him on their side, then. Dealing with the demons and Muzan might be possible.

Shinobu was surprised when she heard that he had become a Hashira as well. Didn't that mean they just tried to harm one of their own?

"And you, you must be the poison Hashira. I can make you much stronger than you are now. My daughter is really good at poison. Why don't you make me awaken your bloodline and let my daughter teach you the way of poison?"

His daughter? Shinobu was confused for a second before she remembered who his daughter was. His daughter was the fairy that she could smell very fragrant poison from.

Shinobu had dreamt of becoming stronger and taking revenge for her big sister. She was ready to accept his offer, but. Ichigo said something that surprised her even more than what he had done before.

"Is your sister named Kochou Kanae?"

Shinobu felt a chill run down her spine for some reason. How did he know about her big sister's name?
