"Buhahahahah~!!" with her hands crossed at her front, fingers inverted like claws, Orihime laughed loudly.

"What is this, Orihime?" Masato asked, wondering if he has become a boomer.

"What?! You don't know Masato-kun? It's a really popular show, Ghost Bust!" she excitedly answered.

"Ghost Bust?" Masato was confused, after all, most of the time he spent these days was doing dungeon diving. And it paid well with how he was able to max some of his skills—[Physical Enchantment], [Sneak], [Combat-Mastery], [Knife Mastery], and [Mana Shield], though it was stuck at 99 and was not moving up, no matter how much he used it.

Anyway, the point was that he didn't know what she was talking about.

"Do you live in a cave or something, Masato?" Tatsuki sneered, she was quite mad at him for some reason since morning. Masato wondered if he did something wrong, or was it due to that he was confessed this morning. He is quite popular among the seniors. Onee-san really likes him, and he likes the fact that they do.

"The journey to bust ghosts on hallowed grounds! The charismatic spirit medium, Don Kanonji!" Keigo shouted enthusiastically, "He is incredibly popular right now!"

"Is he? What he does?" Masato asked while watching Orihime happily shouting 'BUHAHAHAH~!'

"You really don't know Masato-kun? That is surprising," Mizuiro said, "He, Don Kanonji, hosts a show every Wednesday at 8pm in which he exorcists the ghosts."

"Exorcists ghost?" he didn't remember anything regarding such a person in Bleach, so Masato concluded that it was just a minor character of no relevance to the plot, otherwise, Masato should at least remember something about him if he was heavily involved in the plot.

"That's right! And he is doing his 'Ghost Bust' tonight here in Karakura Town!" Orihime exclaimed excitedly, "It's live, Masato-kun. We can go and watch it live!" picking his hand, she said, "Are you coming with us?"

He had been doing dungeon diving continuously for the past week, so he thought that a break was not so bad every now and then. He nodded and said, "Alright. Let's go together tonight."

"Yaaa~!" smiling, she jumped.

"… Oi Mizuiro… do you think that they are in a relationship?" Keigo whispered to Mizuiro, who shook his head in uncertainty, "I don't know, but seeing their interactions, they are not that far from being in one."

"… Oi Mizuiro… is it me or you are also feeling something ominous? Maybe this is what they call bloodlust?" with sweats soaking his face, Keigo asked.

"… Don't worry, Keigo. I am also feeling it," Mizuiro confirmed.

Looking into the eyes of each other, both of them looked back and saw Tatsuki glaring at them. She looked like that she would kill them at any given moment.

"Emm. Arisawa-san… is everything alright?" with courage, Keigo asked.

"Nothing."

"No way it's nothing! It feels like thousand ants crawling my skin! If you are that jealous, why don't you just say that to Ma—" he didn't get to complete his sentence as he was launched back with a punch to his face.

With a little blush on her face, she shouted, "Who is jealous?!"

"Are you alright, Suki-nee-chan?" with a worried look plastered on his face, as if he would cry at any given moment if something were to happen to Tatsuki, Masato asked. His hand reaching for hers—he gently took a hold of her soft hand, even though she is a martial artist, her hands were exceptionally soft, "Why is your face so red? Is it fever?"

Feeling his hand on her, Tatsuki's blush only deepens further. All of it started with their training. Both of them had been training since the last two weeks, after the class, and every time they both trained, she would get aroused. She would need to relieve herself after the training session.

But if that was not enough, her body would get hot whenever she was near Masato. Even though she was a blank page when it comes to love, she still knew that she was sexually attractive to Masato. Once she realized it, it got hard to even go close to him. Her mind, every time she was near him, would wander to a totally not-so-pure territory.

She knew that Masato was a wolf in a sheep's clothing, and him being so close to Orihime stopped her from doing anything. Tatsuki was Orihime's best friend, and she could tell that Orihime also held feelings for Masato. She becomes even more vocal about it after the incident with Hollow at her place. Due to this, Tatsuki didn't know what to do with her feelings. Should she fight for a man with her best friend?

"Stop touching me!" her sudden shout surprised everyone in the class, even stunning Masato.

"A-ah, sorry. I shouldn't have done that," with an embarrassed look, Masato apologized while his brain was running at bullet speed, 'What the hell happened? I am sure that I haven't done anything to make her hate me, even the affection points have not gone down.'

Seeing his embarrassed face, Tatsuki turned back and ran outside, startling everyone in the class.

"Tatsuki-chan!" Orihime followed after Tatsuki, worried if everything was alright.

"Emm…" the whole class descends into an awkward silence, "I remembered something, I'll take my leave first. Tell Akane-sensei that I would not be taking classes today," saying, Masato also took his leave. No way in hell he was going to spend a single minute in that awkward class. He might lose his HP due to the awkwardness.

"… let's go and hunt some Hollows Rukia," Ichigo said as he also left the class. He could feel awkwardness crawling his spine.

"Should we also leave?" Keigo asked, but no one answered him.

---

"Wait! Tatsuki-chan!" Orihime shouted as she followed after her best friend, who didn't stop at her shout. It seems as if she couldn't hear her, or was she ignoring her?

Without looking back, Tatsuki just ran in a random direction. Her mind was a mess currently. She didn't know what to do. At one point, she wanted to be with Masato, but then the picture of her friend flashed past her mind. What will she think? Will they still be friends? Such thoughts assaulted her mind.

I want to be with him, but I don't want to hurt my friend.

She was new to all of this; in a sense, it could be said that Masato was her first love. She felt her heart being crunched when she thought of not being with him. Tatsuki never realized it, but she already was in deep love with him.

So what if they only know each other for about a week or two? Love is always unpredictable after all. Was she being manipulated? Since Masato has been using [Erotic Pierrot] on her, then was she being manipulated to think that she loved him?

The answer was simple.

No.

All Masato did was raise her arousal. Her thinking about him when her arousal was high was an indication of her being already attracted to him. I mean, she could think of many other people, no? It was her fantasy, after all. But why did she only think of Masato? It was obvious, she already was attracted to him—even before he used [Erotic Pierrot] on her.

"Tatsuki-chan!" she was brought out of her thoughts when she felt a sudden tug to her hand, making her look behind to her friend. Seeing the worried-filled eyes, she felt even more painful.

"What happened to you, Tatsuki-chan? Why are you running like this? Did something happened between you and Masato?" Orihime asked, trying to understand the situation.

Tatsuki shook her head, "Nothing happened between me and him."

"Then why?" she persuaded, "I know you Tatsuki-chan. You would never shout at Masato-kun for touching your hand. Is something bothering you? You can always tell me. After all, we are frie—"

"I love him!" her shout brought Orihime to an abrupt end. For a second, she couldn't understand what Tatsuki said before it clicked to her.

Orihime becomes quiet, not knowing what to reply. Tatsuki loved Masato. It made her realized that she didn't know what to say to her friend, since she also loved him. But now, her best friend was also in love with the said guy; it made her think.

"Don't worry Suki-nee-chan, I also love you!" the sudden shout of Masato startled both as they looked back and saw Masato standing there with a cat in his hands.

---

Coming out of the class, Masato sighed. After thinking for some time, he finally understood why she was so agitated, and no she is not in her period.

'Now this is a mess…' he thought, 'that I don't know how to solve.'

He didn't think about it before, but now if he thinks about it, polygamy was a new concept in this world. Not new, but definitely for the girls. And Masato was the chosen Harem King, he had the system after all—the key to polygamy.

Sighing, his eyes landed on the black cat that he comes to like this past week; she has been with him for most of the time, after all. It would be surprising that he didn't like her.

"Yoru… why are you here again? I thought I left you back at home," saying, he picked her up and caressed his cheeks with her. Now a question arises, who was Yoru? Obviously, it was Yoruichi. But Masato didn't know, or to be more precise, Yoruichi didn't know that Masato knows.

Though she was astonished for sure when Masato named her Yoru. She even becomes suspicious of he knew about her identity or not. But then he went and explained it himself; saying that since she was black as the night sky, he named her Yoru which means night in Japanese. It made sense to her, so she didn't persuade the matter more and just thought that it was coincident.

Yoruichi has taken quite a liking to this boy, even though he was a beast who ate his teacher and mother. She still finds it weird, but the ecstatic moans of his mother every night made her forget that. She even started to treat it as a normal thing. But the more time she spent with him, the more frustrated she was becoming. Seriously, he never gets tired. She wondered just how much stamina he has.

After rubbing his cheeks with her, Masato carried her between his hands as he [Flash Step] in the direction where he could feel Tatsuki's and Orihime's presence.

A moment later, he appeared some distance away from them as he watched Orihime stopping Tatsuki and questioning her.

"Now what should we do, Yoru? Though I know that everything will be alright," he said while caressing Yoruichi's fur, "After all, this is a game and I am the gamer with [Gamer's Luck] to help me change the direction of the game to my liking. Though I don't know how it works."

Yoruichi didn't know what he was talking about, but she definitely cursed him when he called all of this a game.

Is he playing with women's hearts thinking of it as a game?

Of course, she misunderstood as Masato said in a literal meaning. He was a game character, and he is playing a game.

"Sigh~. Being a popular guy is a really hard thing, don't you think Yoru?" sighing in exasperation, Masato said, "But, being a chosen Harem King, I have to solve this 'misunderstanding' between us."

"I love him!" the sudden shout brought him back to reality. Even though it looked like he was joking, he was seriously thinking of ways to solve the problem.

Seeing that it was the right timing, he walked and shouted, "Don't worry Suki-nee-chan, I also love you!"

Looking at both Orihime and Tatsuki looking at him with a startled expression, Masato's brain started to work fast. After thinking for a long time, he came up with an answer that… there was no answer. Just leave it up to the meatball, he would pull some high-class BS to solve it.

Tatsuki's face started to take a deep shade of red as she registered his words. Her heart thumping heavily in her chest as if wanting to leave it. She could feel butterflies in her stomach, hearing his confession. But then her eyes landed on Orihime, who had tears gathered in her eyes. All her happiness deflated, seeing her pain-filled expression.

Before she could say anything, Masato dropped another boom right away, "I also love you too, Orihime!"

Both Tatsuki and Orihime looked at him, trying to understand what he was saying. Even Yoruichi was stunned, hearing him, and was waiting for him to explain what he wanted to say.

"I'll be straight with you guys as I don't like to beat around the bush. I love both of you girls from my heart, but I can't be yours. Selfish? I am aware, but listen to me," looking at the faces of Tatsuki and Orihime, Masato knew that he was about to be slapped both sides, "I am greedy. I can't be with a single woman. There are many reasons for it, but I can't tell you of them right now. But the answer is simple, first, I am already in a relationship currently. Second, I am not a normal human and would probably live longer than a normal human being—maybe a few thousand millennium—third, I love you both and don't want to leave any of you, is that not enough?"

He said every bullshit that came to his mouth. At some point, even he didn't have any idea what he was saying but he just said it. Now he wanted his [Gamer's Luck] to shine and change the direction of this game to his liking.

SLAP!

A direct hit to face by Orihime.

BAM!

A direct his to his balls by Tatsuki, "Worst…" and another direct hit before both of them left him laying on the ground.

{

Critical hit!

-200XP

}

'I almost died there…' he thought while looking at the sky. Even though he said all that, inside he knew that he was the worst. But what can he do? He knew he was greedy. It was a trait of him from the past life that he took with him to this life.

Looking at his side, his eyes landed on Yoruichi, who was standing just some distance away from him, "Yoru… you understand me, right?"

SCRATCH!

Seeing the departing figure of the black cat, Masato went back to look at the sky. Thankfully, his gamer body didn't allow him to have any scars or wounds as they would turn into HP. Till now, only Yoruichi has been aware of this fact, but she didn't investigate it too much… yet.

'Guess I'll just grind a little…' he thought and called his status screen.

The past week of constant grinding had made him quite strong, in mana at least. He seriously started to wonder if he should just change his class to mage or not.

Anyway, with his current status, Masato was sure that he can put up a fight with a captain and if given an opportunity, he could even beat them. Of course, if they didn't liberate their swords.

If, let's say, that the peak of Shinigami is 1000 base stats and their mana will be 10000. So after the first release, their mana would jump to 20000 and 40000 at the third release. Their swords were fucking power boosts. Masato wondered if he should also get a Zanpakuto.

As his status reached 200, he stopped getting any perks. But the perks before he got had given him quite a boon; especially, the following ones.

}

All the perks were great, but some of them were just above others i.e., [Elemental Affinity], [Lad Luck], [Big Mana Pool], and especially, [Four Leaf Clover]. He still has not used it, but he was aware that it was a free omniverse gacha.

Due to his [Gamer's Luck] perk, he was thinking of using it if he is in a precarious situation. Of course, he will use it if he is not.

As he watched the sky, clouds as they pass, he heard a sound from behind. Raising his head, he saw a bespectacled guy standing, staring at him.

After staring at the bespectacled guy, Masato used [Observe] on him. He thought that he looked familiar.

}

'Welp… God! You were there?! Damn man! What is with this low presence? Even I didn't pick this dude… or I just forgot about him,' thinking to himself, Masato asked, "What can I help you with, Ishida-san?" even though he forgot about him, he at least remembered that he was Ichigo's classmate, and that makes him his classmate too.

Using his finger and copying the younger Sitri, Ishida opened his mouth, "Nothing, Oosuki-san. I just wanted to warn you."

With an interest visible on his face, Masato's brow raised and he asked, "Warn me? About what?" he kind of get what he wanted to say but he still wanted to hear it from him, which makes it more fun.

"Stay away from Kurosaki-san. Since I don't want to hurt any bystander."

"…" a silent stretches, Masato staring at Ishida and Ishida at Masato. No one knew what both were thinking before Masato opened his eyes, "Do watch animes?" he asked.

"… no."

"Then maybe read mangas?"

"… I don't."

"Light novels?"

"What are you getting at, Oosuki-san? And no, I don't read Light Novels either."

"...So why is your level of edginess is so high? Wearing some priest-like clothes, hating a single race, wanting to complete the revenge story of your master…" Masato wondered if he was an idiot.

Ishida's eyes narrowed a little as he created some distance between him and Masato, "So you are aware of my true identity… then that makes it easier. That's right, I hate Shinigamis. I would probably have a fight with Kurosaki-san too. So I don't want you to interfere with it. Take it as a warning or a threat, it doesn't matter to me," he said.

"Oh~!" standing up, Masato clapped his hands as if amused, "Such a heroic spirit you have, Ishida-san. Fighting to prove the dominance of your race. I am applauded. But…" Masato disappeared from his place and appeared in front of Ishida, whose eyes were opened wide as he looked into the rainbow-colored eyes of Masato. His body petrifying by the absolute terror that crawled up his spine—death; it was the only thing that he could see currently, "I don't mind your fighting with Ichigo or someone else. I don't give a shit, to be honest. But if someone that I care is hurt during your childish scrabble, then I hope that you can bear the consequences."

Completing his part, his eyes changed back to normal as before as if everything before was just a dream. Without looking towards the sweat-soaked Ishida, Masato smiled happily, "Then let's meet again at the school, Ishida-san~," saying, he vanished from his place.

"… what is he?" maybe no one could answer his question, since Masato himself was not aware of who he was.

–--

While randomly walking, Masato was thinking of how to make his fighting style more effective. He has already mastered the knife mastery and close-combat, now he was thinking if he should pick another weapon or should he try another approach i.e., long-range.

'Now that I have the elemental affinity, should I develop some elemental moves?' he thought, 'I should also pick another weapon… hmm…,' with his hand rubbing his chin, he continued walking blindly, 'I think it is time that I go with Sword Mastery, or should I go with Bow? I always wanted to learn how to use a bow. If I can use it like that guy from Moon-led journey, then that would be pogger.'

In his previous life, he was quite a big fan of archery, but he never got a chance to try his hand at it. Now that he has a chance, he was not going to waste it.

As he was thinking about random stuff while walking randomly, his eyes landed on a petite girl—who else but Rukia? She was holding the phone in her hand while furiously tapping the buttons as if it was her old enemy.

Smirking, he appeared behind her and gently blew near her ear, "Hm, what are you doing, Rukia-chan~."

"Kyaa~!" a girlish shout left her face as she released a round kick, but Masato catch it with his hand, "Wow~, how rude for you to kick me at the first sight."

"F-fool! You scared me! Who comes silently behind a girl and blows into her ear!" with her finger pointing at him, she asked.

"Hehehe~, me." smiling silly, Masato pointed at himself, causing Rukia's brow to twitch.

"Where are you going?"

Seeing that he changed the topic, she went back to check her phone, "To meet someone," she vaguely answered.

Masato knew that she was going to Urahara's shop, so he was not going to miss this opportunity. He thought it was time to meet him face-to-face.

"Then I'll come with you," he replied.

"Hm?" Rukia suspiciously looked at him, but then she shrugged since she was going to Urahara's shop.

Seeing as she didn't refuse, Masato pocketed his hands while started using [Erotic Pierrot] on her. He made sure to use it at a moderate level. But there was another thing that he was testing currently, and that was Hogyoku.

Masato remembered clearly that Hogyoku completed the wishes of those near its influence, like Sado, and Orihime. He wondered if it could complete his wish too. After testing it for a while, he found out that Hogyoku couldn't grant him something that already existed or something that doesn't exist in this universe.

First, he tried to wish for Orihime's ability, but he got nothing, not even a response. Seeing if it was working or not, he wished for an ability to fly. Since Shinigamis can fly, he thought that Hogyoku should be able to grant it, and it did.

Though he got a variant call [Aerodynamic]—an ability to walk in the air while creating platforms created by mana.

{

[Aerodynamic Level: 1 MP:10]

An ability to walk in the air by creating platforms of mana under your foot.

Current Use: One foot per [Leap] or [Flash Step].

}

Since he got the ability, it made sure that Hogyoku was working. Then, to test it again, this time he wished for something that didn't exist in this world—Observation Haki. He thought he might get. But he didn't, not even a variant of it. It cleared his suspicion that he cannot wish for something that never existed in this verse.

It also made sense, since Aizen had a complete Hogyoku and yet he couldn't create Orihime's ability for himself. It was because Hogyoku wouldn't create anything that already existed. But that didn't diminish its value, since its biggest value was in its ability to break the barriers and make the user a transcended being.

Let's say, Hogyoku can transcend someone to the peak of the given verse. What if he used it in, let's say, a cultivation world? He would literally have to do nothing and he would become the strongest existence with time.

'But leaving that aside,' looked at the affection points of Rukia.

{

Affection: 65/100

}

He couldn't help but smirk internally. It was also one of the things he tested, and it was simple. He wished for Rukia. Masato wondered, what kind of response will the Hogyoku give him; this was the response. Though he was glad that it didn't manipulate her directly, just increased their encounter rate. All that left was to create a positive expression on Rukia, and that he did.

With a little bit of [Erotic Pierrot] with a small amount of [Increase Sensitivity] and [Pleasure Touch], he was able to steadily raise her affection. He just wanted to leave a lasting impression of his on her, so if she is ever aroused, the first person that comes to her mind is always him. And it seemed to work just fine.

"Say, Rukia-chan," he asked while using [Erotic Pierrot], "How about we go on a date?"

"Date? What is that?" Rukia asked, still using her phone. She was new to all this world's culture and common sense.

"It's an activity where a boy and girl, who are romantically interested in each other, would go out and spend a day with each other while doing some random stuff, like eating in a restaurant, shopping, or watching a movie," he explained while looking at her face that was in deep crimson hue by the end.

"F-fool! Who is romantically interested here?!"

"I am," pointing to himself, Masato shamelessly answered. Completely forgetting the fact that he had just got rekt by two girls before coming here.

"Fool!" she kicked at him but it was blocked by his mana shield.

Gripping her leg, Rukia had tears gathered in her eyes as she resentfully glared at Masato, who was thinking as to how every woman around him is violent.

Looking at her, Masato suddenly asked, "Say, Rukia…"

"What?!" she barked.

"Is it really okay? I've been thinking about it for some time now, but… is giving your power to a human a normal thing in Soul Society?" of course, he knew. But he wanted to hear it from Rukia herself. He was still thinking whether he should help her or let Aizen take Hogyoku.

Rukia becomes quiet, hearing him, "… It's not normal."

"Then—"

"Stop it Masato! You don't have to worry about me as what's done is done, no one can change that," cutting him, she replied as she started to walk again.

Looking at her back, Masato thought for some time, 'Well, guess, this is the time to act like a shonen protagonist.'

"I will!" he shouted, making Rukia abruptly stopped, "I will make sure that I change it, the ending that is."

"You…" she looked behind at him with wide eyes. She was aware that sooner or later, people in Soul Society will find out about her doing. But she didn't know who they will send. Knowing her brother, he would definitely come. She didn't want to include anyone else in her mess.

"Did I not say it Rukia?" Masato smirked while pointing at himself, "I may be a scumbag, but I am a committed scumbag. Since I said that I am courting you, I meant it. I can't have anything happened to my future girlfriend, now can I?"

Rukia's face started to turn red as she turned back before muttering it slowly, "Fool…" as she continued her walking.

'God that was cringe! Sheee~! I ain't doing that anytime soon. I wonder how those protagonists can do just a thing!' thinking, he followed after Rukia.

{

+15 affection with Rukia.

}

'But it was worth it.'

Soon, both of them reached Urahara's candy shop. It was just a normal shop that one could find anywhere. Two kids were cleaning in front of it, or more like, one of them. Since the other was just playing with the broom.

"Jinta-Kun… you should start cleaning or Tessai-san will get angry at you," said the girl shyly. One look was enough to tell that she was a timid person who would easily get bullied.

"Haaaa?! I am doing my task, Ururu! Who said I am not?" Jinta replied.

"But—Owowowow"

"But what?" kneading her head, Jinta asked.

"Hmm. Quite a lively bunch, I was like them too," Masato said with tears in his eyes, "But society made me changed."

Rukia deadpan looked at him, causing him to cough to hid the embarrassment he was feeling. But one could still see a blush on his face. He just realized how much he sucked at joking.

"Oh! Sis! What are you doing here?" finding Rukia standing some distance away, Jinta asked, "Hm? Who is this pretty boy?"

"Pretty boy?" pointing at himself, Masato blushed while placing his hands on his cheeks, "Oh my, such a silly person. To call me pretty, hehehe~."

Ignoring Masato, Rukia asked Jinta, "Is Urahara home? I want to ask him something," she inquired.

"Oh! It isn't its Kuchiki-san. Are you here to meet Urahara-san? Then come in, he is inside," came a large, muscular, lightly tan-skinned man. His hair was cornrowed and had a large handlebar mustache.

'Dude… what is with those muscles? He is way too buff,' looking at Tessai, Masato thoughts, 'With his height, every girl is a loli to him. So does that makes him a lolicon?'

"Hm. You also came, Masato-kun. Come in," looking towards Masato, Tessai invited them.

Masato was not surprised that he knew about him, so he just shrugged and followed after Rukia.

"Yahoo~, Kuchiki-san! Did you miss—ack!" Urahara couldn't finish his monologue when Rukia hit him with the phone in her hands, "Where were you? I've been calling you but you have not been picking my phone!" Rukia angrily said, while picking the phone.

"Hahaha! Sorry, sorry. I've been busy these days and wasn't present in the shop. So, what's the problem?" smiling sheepishly, Urahara asked.

"Che!" Rukia clicked her tongue before asking, "Ichigo met a problem with this guy calling him Quincy, do you know anything about them?"

"Oh! Quincy? It's been some time since I have heard about them," Tessai, who was walking past them with a box on his shoulders butted in the conversation.

"So you know them? What are they?" she asked, clearly interested in it.

'Hmm, so that emo boy met with Ichigo before coming to me?' Masato thought.

Urahara seriously looked at Rukia before opening his mouth, "The Quincy were… scattered all over the world at one time. They were relatives of magic hunters who specialized in the war against the Hollows," he said, "And… it's a clan that was destroyed 200 years ago."

"Destroyed…?" with a look of astonishment, Rukia asked.

"Yes. In modern terms, they were humans who, like Kurosaki-san, can detect the existence of Hollows. And it all started when they begin training to comfort them… to defeat Hollows, the same as Shinigami do. However, there is a critical difference between them and Shinigami, and that was the deep ditch that lay between them since ancient times…"

"That is… whether to kill or not to kill Hollows," with a somewhat serious look as Masato couldn't tell, as it was magical shaded in black, he continued, "It was the Shinigami, who try to purify Hollows with Zanpakuto swords and send them to Soul Society verses."

"The Quincy, who struck to the through killing of Hollows. If you think about it, it was a natural human conclusion. Hollows devour the humans, 'Why must it be that they, who harm and kill friends and family, get sent peacefully to the Soul Society?' Whoever thought so, could see what they did as reasonable. So they stubbornly tried to kill Hollows. They held the faith that they were avenging their families and friends. However, that faith accordingly, let to their destruction."

He completed his explanation, painting the room in silence.

"How stupid," hearing the sudden distaste in the voice, everyone looked back at Masato as he said, "You said that it was their faith that led them to their destruction right, mister messy hair?"

Urahara, hearing him, patted his hair while thinking if his hair was really that messy.

"But I beg different. It was not their fate that led them to their destruction—though I don't know anything about it, I can guess much from the story you have to tell—it was the difference of belief that led them to their destruction."

"Hmm. What do you mean?" Urahara asked, clearly interested.

"You said that both Quincy and Shinigami had a different view, and yet only Quincy was destroyed—it's as unusual sounding as it can be," Masato said, "Neither Quincy hold the wrong view nor the Shinigami, both were right in their places. But, if my guess is right, Shinigami probably didn't like it. But since they can't stop them from killing them, then how do they stop them?" he asked while looking at Rukia.

Her eyes widen, "Extermination…!"

"That's right. If you can't stop them, then why not just exterminate them? Simple and logical thinking. So, if my guess is right, Shinigami, the justice follower—those who want to save even the fallen souls—killed the whole race. It's simple as that. Of course, I am not saying that Shinigami did something wrong, after all, it was logical thinking. Two kings cannot live in the same jungle, one has to be eliminated before it becomes a problem in the bud and hurt the other."

Shrugging his shoulders, "In the end, it could have been Shinigami that were exterminated, but they won and Quincy lost. Is that wrong, mister messy hair?" he asked Urahara.

Of course, Masato aware of the real reason why Quincy was destroyed, but he would not put that on the table. He didn't want to come out as an overly smart person as that would only raise Urahara's cautiousness towards him, after all, Aizen was the prime example of it.

So he made sure to left a hole for Urahara to exploit, and he didn't disappoint him.

Opening his fan, he put it in front of his face as he spoke, "You are right, Masato-san, but wrong at the same time. It is indeed true that it was Shinigami that exterminated the Quincy, but there was a reason behind it."

Making a face of interest, Masato asked, "And what was that?"

"Balance," Urahara answered, "The Balance of Soul between the worlds. Since Quincy killed the Hollows, instead of letting them purify, it disturbed the balance of the Souls. As the Shinigami, we warned them, but they were stubborn about their choices. If we had left them as it is, it would have destroyed the balance between soul, leading to the destruction of the barrier between life and death."

"So, in short, the Human world would have been filled with souls that would tilt the balance between Soul Society and the Human World?" Masato asked.

"You're right. This way, to stop such a thing from happening, Quincy was ordered to be killed, so that the balance remains." Urahara nodded.

"I see…" though he understood it, Masato would still take the side of Quincy. Why? It's simple. If someone hurt his loved one, he wouldn't give a flying shit about the world and its stability. Who was he? He was The Gamer! If so-called unbalance came, he would just 'kill' this unbalance. I mean, he has [Mystic Eyes] for a reason.

This was the reason he could sympathize with Quincy. Though he didn't feel any emotions from the death, that didn't mean that he didn't feel anger. Though defective, he was still a human being in the end.

Suddenly, Masato's sight landed on a black cat; surprised, he said, "Oh! Yoru! What are you doing here?" but when he tried to pick her up, Yoruichi used her claws to scratch his face and jumped away—though the wounds were turned to HP right away.

"Are you still angry? Come one~. Don't worry, I got it," Masato said while rubbing his face, he could still feel the pain.

"Oh, Masato-san! You know Yoruichi?" going back to his jolly attitude, Urahara asked.

"Of course, I do. She is my cat, after all," Masato nodded. Time to act cute—he thought.

"Your cat?" looking back at Yoruichi, Urahara smirked, "Hahaha! You are wrong, Masato-san. Yoruichi has always been my cat. She just like to wander around a lot, so you must have mistaken her for a stray." saying, he tried to pick Yoruichi up just to get scratch on his face.

'Now!' looking at Yoruichi, Masato made the saddest expression he could think of, "So… you are not a stray cat… you will not come with me again?" he already had tears gathered in his eyes at this point. Even Yoruichi, who knew that he was an actor, couldn't help but believe that he was really sad about it.

Now that she thinks about it, though lustful, Masato greatly cared about his loved ones. She can remember him playing with her, and his expression at that time was definitely not something like an act, it was genuine.

So seeing that he was feeling sorrow at the aspect of her leaving him, she started to feel sorry for him.

{

Ding! Due to a specific action, a new skill has been created!

Seeing the screen, he wondered why he didn't get it before.

With a sad expression, he tried to pick Yoruichi. This time, she didn't run away and let him pick her. Rubbing his cheeks with her, Masato continued his sad talk, "We have spent such a long time together… I had already started to treat you like a part of my family, Yoru," gently kissing her head, he said, "But it seems that you already have an owner…" his voice was filled with so much pain that one might think that he would commit suicide the next second.

"Sniff… Sniff… f-fool… how can you do such a thing to them, Urahara…" with tears gathering around her eyes, Rukia looked at Urahara with disgust making his twitch.

"Ummm… but she is my cat…"

"But you didn't take care of her, or why else she would leave your place and wander around the town for the food?" this time Masato also joined, he was just having damn fun—sadly, no affection points were received.

But now that he thinks about it, he hasn't used [Observe] on Urahara.

}

'Oh! I already had 25 affection with him. When did that happen? I must have missed it,' Masato thought while rubbing Yoruichi's fur.

"Hm?" feeling the disturbance of the spiritual energy in the air, Masato, Yoruichi and Urahara looked outside.

"… What's wrong? Why are you all looking outside?" Rukia asked, but just then her phone started to beep.

"!" surprised, she took it out and opened it, "Shit! A Hollow! At a time like this!" she looked towards Masato, "Come, Masato, since I can't find Ichigo, you come with me to exterminate it—huh? The signal disappeared already?" confused, she checked the mobile again.

Beep beep beep!

"Again?! Huh? It's gone again? Is it broken or something, Urahara?"

He didn't answer as he seriously looked outside.

Beepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeep!

"T-this! What is happening?!" she shouted as she ran outside to check as her eyes widen, "W-what is with the sky? What's with this heavy spiritual disturbance?"

"That bastard… even though I warned him…" Masato muttered under his breath as he looked outside with an emotionless face. Seriously, he never likes Ishida's character. Just due to his first entrance, he disliked him. If not that killing him would cause problems, as his dad is a friend of Urahara, and Ichigo's dad, Masato would have killed him. But that didn't mean he can't hurt him for his stupid behavior.

Placing Yoruichi down, Masato started to walk outside, "Where are you going Masato?" Rukia asked.

Pointing his finger outside, at the sky, Masato said, "Can't you see that? It's like bait for the Hollows, with how much the spiritual energy is disturbed. And Hollow go after those with higher spiritual energy."

As if understanding his point, her eyes widen, "But who did this?!" she asked, clearly agitated.

"… some emo bastard…" Masato said before activating the [Gods' Sight] to the fullest. Usually, he would only cover the radius of 100 meters around him to check and catch any abnormality, otherwise, he could easily cover six kilometers with it.

Getting all the information, he looked in a certain direction, the direction of Ishida.

'I ain't leaving you, bastard,' he thought. As he was about to go towards Orihime and Tatsuki since he was not thinking that anything would happen to Mamako as he had already told her everything about the supernatural side of this world. He even made sure to level her up to the point where she can at least protect herself, while he couldn't detect Akane in his range. She was probably at the other side of the town, out of his detection range—Rukia stopped him.

"Wait Masato! I'll come with you!" she said as she gripped his hand.

Looking at her for some time, he nodded before [Flash Step]-ing away.

---

"Hm, hm, hm~, hm hm hm~," humming happily while her head moved right and left, a beautiful smile on her face, Mamako kept making dishes for herself and her son, oh! And the new members of their family Yoru and Akane.

Masato didn't hide anything from her and told her about his relationship with Akane, but it didn't affect her much. As long as she was with her Ma-kun, it didn't matter if had another girl or not, since she knew that he would not leave her.

She still remembers her first night with her son—it was hot. Just thinking about it makes her wet and aroused, but she needed to focus on cooking currently.

"Hm? It is almost the time for Ma-kun's school to finish," she said to herself, but her excitement rising.

"!" suddenly, she remembered that she still need to dry the clothes and sheets after their last night's play. Thinking, she placed the ladle on the shelf before going to get the clothes.

"Ah! I can use that!" as if a sudden epiphany, she looked at the clothes before raising her hand, "Okaa-san power!" she excitedly shouted.

Suddenly, a gust of hot wind was created and went to the clothes, enveloping them in it. She joyfully watched as the water evaporates.

If Masato was here, he would have facepalmed himself from feeling embarrassed. Even after telling Mamako so many times, she still refused to change the names of her moves as everything started with 'Okaa-san this and Okaa-san that'. Though he was not surprised after remembering the original.

Seeing the clothes drying, she, while happily humming, took them and started to collect them.

As she was walking to THEIR room, she felt something outside. Confused, as the feeling made her feel uneasy, she went towards the window to check it. Bewilderment shows on her face as she looks at the sky—many cracks forming on it.

"What is that?" not understanding, she questioned herself. She could also feel something… disturbing in the air, but couldn't tell what it was. It was new to her, this feeling.

"I should call Ma-kun…" worried, she said and went downstairs to call Masato. She didn't like the atmosphere outside; it made her nauseating, for some reason.

Picking up her phone, she dialed Masato. After some beeps, he picks up the phone, "Hello? Okaa-san? Is everything alright?"

Hearing his worried-filled voice from the other side, Mamako's heart calmed down a little, "Ma-kun… are you alright? Okaa-san is alright, but there is something wrong outside. Can you come back faster? I don't like the atmosphere outside," she said, holding the phone tighter.

"…" the other side becomes silent for some time before he answered, "I'll be there in some time. If something comes, just use your Okaa-san power to blow it away. Don't worry, I'll take care of the collateral damage to the properties."

She becomes confused but still nods, "Um. Okaa-san will take care of any bad guys!"

"Then take care, Okaa-san. I'll be there in five minutes."

Placing the phone down, she pumped her fist in the air, "Yosh~! Back to cooking!"

BHAM!

Just then, a loud explosion occurred, destroying a part of the frontal side of the house, startling Mamako. She hurriedly ran to check what it was—a big and long person-like thing stood there. It could easily be 5 meters. It had a mask on its face, with different red markings on it.

It looked down at Mamako, its mouth opening as it said, "Hm. You smell delicious."

"Hm?" Mamako becomes confused. Strangely, there was no panic on her face. She didn't look scared or afraid at all. Instead, there was confusion on her face as she looked at the Hollow.

"Delicious?" she inquired, "Ohhhh! Ma-kun always said that I taste delicious! Is that what you are talking about?"

"Your aura, it's delicious. Hehehehe! I've hit a jackpot," its eyes shone crimson as its lips (?) widens, making a horrific scene, "Don't be afraid, okay? It will not hurt."

Placing her hand on her waist, her cheeks swelled, "Moo~! First, you have destroyed our house, and now you want to eat me? Only Ma-kun can 'eat' Okaa-san!"

Seriously, if there was a normal person here, he would have thought if Mamako has gone mad or something—talking nonsense. Here, a big monster stood in front of her, talking about eating her, and she was caring about her home and how only her son can eat her… though the latter was a different concept of eating.

Well, even the Hollow was confused with all the events, but it chose to ignore all of them. It raised his big hand that could easily engulf a fully grown man and moved towards Mamako. Its intentions obvious, it wanted to capture her.

Looking at the hand coming her way, Mamako frowned, "Did I not tell that only Ma-kun can 'eat' Okaa-san?" her voice kind of chilling, she raised her hand—a ring shines; it was a special ring that Masato created. It seems that it was included in the category of weapons.

But according to Masato, he could create anything as long as it was considered a weapon by him. So, he went with a generic way, everything is a weapon. It was not wrong though, as on a battlefield or when an expert fights, everything is a weapon for them.

As the ring shines, two swords appeared in her hands. Both had a ring-like guard, but of different colors—one brown while the other blue. Yes, it was the same weapon she used in her original world or gaming world.

{

The Holy Sword Terra di Madre of Mother Earth - a powerful holy sword that has the power to control Earth Element. Its main attack allows spikes to form from the floor and attack enemies.

The Holy Sword Altura of Mother Ocean - a powerful holy sword that has the power to control Water Element. Its main attack is traveling along the ground to deal water damage to enemies.

}

It didn't take much out of Masato when he built or created these swords. It would have been difficult at the start, but not so after he had again elemental affinity. All he needed to do was inject the given element into the sword during its creation, and he got the above result.

Both swords were not that strong anyway. All they did was provide the user to control of the Water and Earth Element. Of course, they could become strong depending on the user. Mamako had great synchronization with both of the swords, to the level that even Masato was astonished. Though he didn't know why, so he left it as anime logic.

After training Mamako, Masato found out that his modifiers didn't apply to other peoples. It explained why whenever he saw someone else status, it was so drastically changed than his.

He also found out that his perks didn't work on others i.e., his [Gamers' Luck] perk; he thought it would also work on Mamako, but sadly it didn't.

Another thing was that, just like him, whoever joined his gamer system by becoming his party, could learn skills relatively fast. Though the speed was slower than him, still it was enough to prove that the gaming system was OP. Not only for him but also for those he trained or made a part of his party.

Masato was still wondering if it could, just like in The Gamer, allowed other people to learn skills through the books. If it did, then it would make many things easier for him. He was also thinking of getting the [Teaching] skill, like from the story The Gamer. After all, it allowed the skills to impart on other peoples—just another OP skill.

Anyway, Hollow looked at Mamako as she summoned her swords, "Interesting. You can fight? Hehehe! It makes it even more aromatic. I like it when my pray fights back!" it shouted. It took a step close to her, probably trying to intimidate her.

"Iyaaa~!" with a cute shout, she rose her brown sword. The ground started to shake as a spike launched towards the Hollow. It wasn't that big, definitely smaller than the Hollow.

It easily destroyed it with a shake of his hand. It didn't interrupt his advance by much as he soon reached in front of Mamako, "Kekekeke! Enough playing. Now be a good girl and become my food."

"Did I not said?" looking at the Hollow with puffed cheeks, Mamako shouted, "Okaa-san is only Ma-kun's food~!"

Raising her blue sword, she slashed downwards. A huge, about 4-5 meters, water slash traveled to the Hollow. Since it was quite close to her, it didn't have the time to dodge. So it raised his hands to block it, thinking that it was just a weak attack.

ZLING!

The slash easily cut through its hand, hitting its chest, making him take steps back.

"Eh? You…! I-I'LL KILL YOUUUUUU!!!!" seeing his slashed hand, it shouted, vibrating the near terrain.

Mamako doesn't seem to be moved as she raised her other sword, mana leaving her body directly into it at a fast rate. Soon, it started to shine in brown sheen, "Okaa-san anger!" she shouted as a huge spike of earth traveled to Hollow, piercing its body.

"H-how…?" it asked, but no one answered its last call before it turned into particles and vanished.

{

Ding! You have leveled up!

Skill Book: Sonído

"Hm?" holding the book, Mamako tilted her head, confused, "What is this?" she asked herself. She was new to The Gamer System and was not aware of its function.

{

Do you want to learn this skill?

}

"Oh!" she remembers what Masato told her before that every monster she defeats, would drop something.

"Should I learn it then?" seeing the prompt, she clicked on 'yes'. A light covered the book as it scattered in her hands. Knowledge about different movements entered her mind.

{

Skill learned!

Looking at her surroundings, she pouted, "Moo~! What am I suppose to do now?"

---

"Orihime! Wait!" Tatsuki called her as she followed after her.

Orihime didn't answer her but kept running in the direction of the school. She wanted to take her stuff and just leave back home. She felt happy and yet hurt—a really complicated feeling, something really hard for her to describe. Polygamy was a new concept to her, something she never thought of.

"Orihime!" Tatsuki could only shout while following after her friend. She was no better than Orihime—confused and conflicted. On one side, she didn't want her friend to be sad, at the other, she wanted Masato for herself. For a second, she even thought about the idea of polygamy.

Tatsuki didn't want Orihime to be sad, but also didn't want to give up on Masato, this led her to think about the whole polygamy. But… can they be happy with sharing a man? She didn't know, that's why she didn't talk about it with Orihime too. She was already unstable currently.

As Orihime reached the school, she abruptly stopped. Tatsuki, who was following after her almost hit her, but stopped herself timely.

"Orihime, listen to me first! You don't have to feel sad for that bastard!" she placed her hand on Orihime's shoulder and said, "For the starters, let's calm down and calmly think about what happened, okay? Orihime?" seeing as she was not answering her, she called her again.

Orihime didn't look back, her all attention on a thing not-so-far-away from them—at the top of the school. She could see it, that octopus-like thing.

"Tatsuki-chan… we should leave," her voice was quite hoarse, but her feelings did transfer to Tatsuki, who looked where she was looking. Seeing Hollow, her body froze before she diverted her eyes, acting as if she didn't see it.

"What are you talking about Orihime? Let's go and talk somewhere else."

As if understanding her, she nodded and turned around. Their hands clasped together, they started to walk in the opposite direction of the school. Even though they tried to look calm, their face was filled with sweat, not because of running, but because of the fear, they were feeling.

Sadly, they couldn't get ten steps away when they were covered in a big shadow. Hurriedly, they looked above, at the Hollow.

"Run!" Tatsuki shouted as both ran in a different direction as to dodge the falling Hollow.

Boom!

With a loud sound, the Hollow landed on the ground as it looked towards Orihime, "You can see me, right?"

"Tatsuki-chan! Run!" she shouted and ran in the opposite direction herself.

"Run? HyaHyaHyaHya! Do you think I will let you run?!" the Hollow shouted before it jumped in the air and started to spin rapidly. Small projectiles left its body and scattered every. They broke through everything that came into their path, may it be walls or glass or even humans—it implanted themselves in the human.

"You know, I don't like to fight. I don't like pain. That's why," it said, "I let others fight for me! HyaHyaHya! Now, little girl! Entertain me! It's been a while since I've met someone like you, who can see me!"

With the end of its hysterical shouts, the humans or students that were struck by the projectiles, started to walk towards Orihime. They looked zombified.

With a look of horror, Orihime gazed at the students coming at her. Just as a student was about to catch her, he was kicked in his gut as he flew some meters back and landed on the ground.

"Don't you fucking touch her bastard!" shouted Tatsuki, "Come at me! You seem to get the wrong victim here!"

"HyaHyaHya! Another tasty-looking girl! HyaHyaHya! But you need to be taught little girl!" it shouted as more projectiles left its body, towards other humans.

"T-Tatsuki-chan! We should run!" stumbling in her wordings, Orihime begged.

Was Tatsuki strong? Of course, she was. But that was according to human standards. Even if she can, somehow, defeat every human here, they would still be killed by the Hollow. So, the best course of action was to run away.

Tatsuki didn't answer but kept beating the students. Even she was aware of the situation, she knew that they can't leave. They were surrounded by the students in all directions. Even though she was a black belt in karate, she couldn't defeat everyone here.

'Masato…" thought and an image of a certain youth flash past her mind. But she shook her head. It was not the time to think about who can save them, but how can they save themselves.

Kicking and punching, Tatsuki beat the students. She gritted her teeth, "Fuck! They are like cockroaches!" no matter how many she had beaten or how many she had defeated, they would just crawl back at her.

'At this rate…' she looked back at Orihime and gritted her teeth, 'No! I've to save Orihime at least!'

"HyaHyaHya! You are a really resilient human girl. But how long can you fight? How many can you defeat? My insects cannot be defeated! Not until you destroy them from the inside! HyaHyaHya," it boorish laughter rang in the atmosphere, taunting Tatsuki.

"Dammit…!" suddenly, a hand caught her from behind. Tatsuki's eyes widen as she looked at the one who caught her, "… Chizuru…?"

"R-run… Tatsuki…" tears streaked down her face as she tried to warn Tatsuki.

"Guah!" a punch to her gut, air leaving her lungs. Tatsuki fell onto her knees. Seeing this, other zombies restrained her onto the ground, making sure she can't move.

"Tatsuki-chan!" Orihime shouted, but she was also restrained. Tears gathered around her eyes as she could only see Tatsuki being captured.

"Masato-kun…" all she could do was now call the one who could save them, after all, they were just normal humans currently.

---

After leaving Urahara's shop, Masato ran straight to where he could feel Orihime and Tatsuki's presence. He didn't really care about any other human and just went straight in their direction.

Rukia was being carried in his hands like a princess. She seriously looked towards the sky, looking at the expanding cracks, or at least she tried to look one but the tinny blush on her face ruined it.

After [Flash Step]-ing for some time, Masato reached their location. A dense killing intent left his eyes as he looked at Tatsuki, who was implanted by many small projectiles. Without any healing abilities, she would die.

His eyes landed back at Orihime and saw that she was about to awaken her abilities so he stopped and chose to watch. Even if he wanted to save them, he didn't have any healing abilities, currently. So he thought of waiting for Orihime to awaken her ability.

"Fool! What are you waiting for?! Hurry up or they would die!" Rukia shouted at him, seeing as he was not moving from his place and just looking at Orihime silently. She couldn't tell his emotions as his face was just passive, with no emotions being shown on it.

"Stay still. She is going to be awakened," he said, silencing Rukia as she also looked at Orihime, whose spiritual pressure suddenly increased. The hairpin at her head broke into different light particles and started to circle around her.

"Y...you! What are you!?" the Hollow shrieked in horror as it sees Orihime being surrounded by the like particles.

"She is about to become a magical girl…" Masato, with still his stoic face, said.

"…" Rukia become quiet and didn't know how to reply to him, who was still in the mood of joking at this time.

It was not his fault though, he just couldn't stop himself from saying it.

"What are these lights?!" the Hollow shouted.

"…" Orihime didn't answer him and looked towards him with conviction. Her eyes focused as she looked at Hollow without blinking her eyes.

"W-what?!"

"…? What are these...?" she tilted her head in confusion as she sees the light particles dancing around her.

"You… you weren't aware of that?!" even the Hollow couldn't believe that she didn't see the particles dancing around her.

[No. She is aware. She must be aware. Of our existence.]

"It's talking…?" looking above, Orihime questioned.

[After all, we are the ones who stay nearest to her.]

The light particles gathered and landed on her shoulder, taking a shape of small fairies.

[Nice to meet you, Orihime. We are Shun Shun Rikka! Born to protect you. We are your power!]

"…" she silently stares at the small fairies at her shoulder before she exclaimed, "Whoa! It's… a midget! Flying midgets came out and are talking to me!"

[Oh!? That's a good response! I'm glad!] said one of the mid-ahem, flying fairies, [But there is one mistake, we are not 'Flying Midgets'. I told you, we are your power. We are your own 'Spiritual Power' that has been awakened from outside influence. In other words, we are yourself!]

"…" Orihime silent stare at the flying midget in front of her before she clapped her hands as if to kill a bug.

"Ow, Ow, Ow!!" the midget shouted in pain, "Don't try to catch me because you don't understand the meaning of my explanation! After all, even if you catch us, no one can see us!"

"Oh… really?" she asked.

"Really! Wait, you seriously thought that it would work?!"

"Oop!"

"This isn't the time for easygoing self-introduction! You damn Top-Knotted captain!" came a ninja clothed midget as it kicked the pony-tailed midget.

"Ow… that hurts Tsubaki."

"Of course! It was a painful kick!" he answered, "Hey, woman! You don't need to know who we are and where we came from. What you have to know is how to handle us, and that's all!"

'He sure talks big,,, for someone so small…' Orihime thought.

"How to handle?" she asked.

Standing at the roof of the school, Masato looked at everything transpiring without interrupting her.

"Wh-what are those midgets?" Rukia asked, confused.

"Hmm… we will find out about that later, for now," he looked as Orihime was being taught how to use her power, "System, invite Inoue Orihime to the part," he said.

Orihime, who was being taught about how to use her powers, was suddenly startled again as a holographic screen appeared in front of her.

{

You have been invited to the party 'Meatballs' Chivalry' by the Gamer, Masato Oosuki!

Do you accept the invitation?

Y/N

}

"… party…?" not understanding, she tilted her head.

"Oi! Are you listening?!" shouted the ninja guy, seeing her gazing in the air unfocused.

"… there is an invitation to a party by Masato-kun…" she said, pointing her finger at the screen.

"Huh?" the midgets looked at where she was pointing her finger at and saw a screen floating there.

"Whoa! What is that?!" they become surprised as they flew to it and circled around it.

"Hmm. Since it's Masato-kun, I will accept it," she said before pressing the yes button.

{

Ding! Orihime Inoue has become part of 'Meatballs' Chivalry'!

}

Nodding, Masato set the XP distribution to equal distribution.

"Well, with this she would at least earn some XP from killing that Hollow… she might even level up," muttered Masato with a thinking expression while looking at the crack in the sky.

"O-oi! What is going on, Masato!? What are those midgets? And what party and XP you are talking about?!" Rukia asked, completely confused about what he was mumbling about.

"Hm?" looking at the expanding cracks, Masato said, "Guess it is time to collect some big XP…"

Rukia's temples twitch, seeing as he was ignoring her. The first grip tight, she punched his head. But sadly, Masato had [Mana Shield] on and it hit it.

"Ugh…" gripping her hand, Rukia had tears gathered around the corners of her eyes.

"Hm?" looking at Rukia, Masato tilted his head, "What are you doing Rukia? Stop fooling around and let's go. She has already won," pointing at Orihime, he said.

"Bastard…" Rukia whispered. She wanted to shout that it was only him who was lost in thought and not her.

Griping her from the collar, Masato teleported behind Orihime, who was about to lose her consciousness. She looked at Masato's face before closing her eyes.

"...Don't stop me, messy hair. That idiot… I am going to punish him for sure," Masato said, looking at his behind, where Urahara, Tessai, and the other two kids stood. While Tessai had Chad in his hands.

PLOP

"Mah~, Masato-san. I don't mind, but just don't kill him, okay?" with his fan opened, Urahara said.

"Um," Masato nodded while gently caressing Orihime's face, "I know. Take Orihime and Tatsuki with you," he said but then he looked at the sky for some time, "Also, can you go and take my mother and teacher too? Though my mother can protect herself, I would still appreciate it."

When he was coming this way, he had already got a call from Mamako. And with his [Gods' Sight], he could see her fighting with a Hollow. He was not worried about her though.

Masato was not going to save his woman all the time. His belief was simple: Instead of waiting to be saved, one should strive to become strong enough to save.

That's why he would make sure that his women are strong enough to protect themselves. He would make the strongest person, after him, of course.

Urahara nodded, "Don't worry. Someone is already on their way to get them," seriously looking at Masato, he said, "So you don't need to be worried about them. I promise that I will not let anything happened to them."

Looking at Urahara for some time, Masato nodded, "I'll leave them in your hands then," saying, he looked at Rukia, "Are you coming?"

"Of course! I have to be close to that fool Ichigo so that he doesn't make any mistake!" she said.

Nodding, he placed his hand on her shoulder before teleporting. Urahara kept looking where Masato was before muttering to himself, "Space… he is really proficient in using space…"

---

'God! It is really hard to act all goody boy in front of Urahara,' going towards Ishida and Ichigo, Masato thought, 'Though I really appreciate that Yoruichi is going to 'save' Okaa-san and Akeno.'

How did he know? Well, he could feel Yoruichi's signature close to Mamako. But he can't have Urahara know that now can he? So he just pretended that he didn't know.

Soon, both Rukia and Masato reached the place where Ichigo and Ishida were fighting the Hollows, "Well, ain't they are the lively bunch," Masato said before opening his palm and a standard Katana appeared in his right hand.

He gives it to Rukia, who was looking at him, "Here, take this. You don't have your powers currently, but this would help you fighting with the Hollows," he explained, "Even though it looks like a normal Katana, it is sharp enough to cut through any Hollow mask here."

"Oh~!" amazed, she examined the sword and did some swings with it. She nodded as the sword perfectly fit her.

"Thanks."

"No need," he smirked before his face reached close to her, only inches away from touching her lips. Rukia could feel his breath on her face. Her heart beating fast but she didn't look away, "I can't have my future girlfriend be wounded. It would break my heart," smiling teasingly, he said before creating distance between them.

"Let's go then," saying, he vanished with her and appeared beside Ichigo and Ishida.

"Masato! Rukia! Why are you here!?" Ichigo shouted, looking at them.

Kicking him in the face, Rukia barked back, "Fool! Isn't it obvious? We are here to help!" she wondered if he has lost some of his brain cells.

"You did it now Ishida…" standing in front of sweating Ishida, Masato glared at him, "I hope you are ready for the punishment. Do you know that there is this certain Sitri girl? She is quite a serious girl, but her sister always wants her to be a magical girl."

"A-and?" Ishida asked uncertainty. He was still afraid of him from the previous time, but not much.

"And? Well, coincidentally, she wears glasses, and you too," with an evil smirk, Masato examined his body, "hm, not bad." though he forgot that he also wears glasses now.

Ishida had a shiver running through his spine as he watched Masato's scrutinizing eye.

BANG!

"It is not the time to check his body! You both can fool around at a later time! It's disgusting!" hitting Masato's head, Ichigo said.

Controlling his anger, Masato looked at him and remembered that he still has to use observation on him.

'Hm, yes. I call this bullshit… nani the fuck!? How did he become so strong all of sudden?' Masato's eyes widen as he started at Ichigo, not believing that he become so strong suddenly.

'Yah… he is a broken character… I wonder if there is a way for me to get all three races too?' he wondered. Masato thought if he could get a power boost like Ichigo if he had all three races bloodline in him, 'Or… can I upgrade my human bloodline? Like going to High Human or Ancient Human God or something?'

He does remember that there were races like that, so he thought maybe he can also upgrade his bloodline like them.

{

Ding! A new quest has been issued!

[Fall of Captain]

Kill a single Captain of Soul Society and let the world know about your presence.

Rewards: A Zanpakuto. A random skill from Omniverse. A manual to upgrade one bloodline.

Time limit: Until the end of the 'Saving Rukia' arc.

}

Masato's face took a smirk as he looked at the rewards. It was a new thing that he had found out about the system, that it would give him missions depending on the course of action he would take.

Just like a game, it would give him a quest according to his actions.

'But… to kill a captain is not going to be easy… even with my current stats, I have an only about 10% chance of coming out alive face-to-face,' he thought, 'But… if it's a sneak attack…' he could contain his laugh.

A single sneak attack and Masato was sure that he would kill a captain. Let alone captain, he was sure that he would even be able to kill Aizen or Yamato if he wanted with a sneak attack. Of course, if it was successful.

"Oi! Masato!" waving his hand in front of him, Ichigo tried to gain his attention.

Looking back at Ichigo, Masato smiled before punching him in the face, "That is for hitting me before," he said before looking back in the sky, "You guys stand back, I'll take care of the Hollows."

"What!? Have you lost your mind? Killing this many Hollows alone is impossible!" Ishida shouted. He couldn't believe that Masato was thinking of taking every Hollow on its own.

"He is right, Masato. We should think of a plan first," Rukia added.

"Sigh… I don't think we have time to do that though," pointing his finger at the sky, Masato said.

Rukia's eyes widen as she looked at the crack in the sky, that was ripped open by two hands. A giant Hollow's face came out of it as it gazed down at everyone.

"M-menos!? Menos Grande!?" Rukia shouted. She couldn't believe that such a Hollow was coming to this world.

"Shit! We should retreat! We can't defeat that—" she couldn't complete her sentence before Ichigo shouted and ran in the direction of the Menos Grande.

"Ichigo! Fool! You can't defeat it!" Rukia shouted but it was in vain as Ichigo kept running in the direction of the Menos Grande before being thrown back.

"I am alright," giving thumbs up, he said. Though his face was bleeding way too much for him to be alright.

Ignoring them, Masato contemplated his choices, 'Guess, it is time to use magic.'

"Stay back," he said before raising his left hand. Mana gathers on it before a golden bow materializes on it. It looked normal, but its aura said otherwise. It gave one an oppressive type of feeling.

"W-what is that?" taking a step back, Ishida asked. He also uses a bow so he could tell that the bow in Masato's hand was anything but normal and ordinary.

Taking a deep breath, with a small blush on his face, Masato stretches the string back before chanting, "I am the minister of Mana. Listen to me, and distort the reality; destroy it," with each word, his blush deepen but same with the consternation of Mana in his hands, "and then sew it."

Completing the incarnation, Masato's Mana folded into his hands before forming an arrow on the bow. He was a newbie in archery, but with such a big surface target, he wasn't worried about missing his shot.

BriBriBriBriBriBri~!!!

Call of thousand birds filled the surroundings as everyone looked at the arrow in the string—an arrow of thunder.

{

Ding! Due to a specific action, a new skill has been created!

[Bow Mastery Level: 1]

[Lighten Arrow Level: 1 MP: 500]

As a minister of Mana, you have commanded it to distort reality and let you create something that shouldn't be possible normally.

+100%STR Damage.

}

Looking at the prompts, he looked at Menos Grande's HP.

'Around 5000 huh…' with his STR and his perk that increased the magic damage by 75%, Masato could easily one-shot it, 'Well, I hope it gives me some good loot.'

Pulling the string to the maximum, Masato released the arrow as it vanished from everyone's view—no! More like, it blinked and appeared in front of the Hollow in seconds before penetrating its head.

All one could hear was the chirping of thousand birds before the Hollow disintegrated.

Masato sighed before hearing the prompts.

'Ah~! Who is OP? I am! Who is going to build a Harem? I am! Fufufu~!' smiling to himself like an idiot while his hands were moving in waves. Without wasting any time, Masato learned the skill and used his gacha.

{

Ding! [Cero] has been learned!

A gacha has been used!

[The Songbirds]: A pair of daggers, Wren and Nightingale, that allow their wielder to teleport to its twin.

A gacha has been used!

[Potion O' Fire-resistance]

}

'Ohhh~~!! Both are great gachas! Am I protected by the lady luck?'

"What are you doing there standing like an idiot?" looking at Masato, who was laughing and waving his hands as if high, Ichigo asked.

"Hm? O! Hahaha! Nothing, nothing," waving his hand, Masato said, "Let's go back to messy hair's shop. I want to meet Okaa-san and Akane to see if they are safe."

+++

Well.

Here's another chapter. Rushed? Well, I don't know. But I wrote this whole or most of it in hospital since my granny is admitted to ICU. So, it may look rushed--writing one mobile is hell!

I wanted to finish this chapter till Rukia goes back with Renji and Byakuya, but lots of stuff happened and, well, you get it, right?

About Ishida, yah, Masato dislikes him, but not hates him. He is indeed mad that due to Ishida, Tatsuki was wounded, but he will not kill him--too much uncertainty. Or who knows, they might become friends in the future.

Now about the summoning crystals... I've still not decided on them, not the summoning part, but the traveling part.

Should they travel to the next world with MC?

Or

Should they stay back with others?

I'll probably do something like what Sin did and create an inner world, after all, he is in the bleach world. Creating an inner world, or getting it from the quest wouldn't be a surprise.

I can't think of anything else, so Adios~

PS: A peak Captain will have its status stuck at 2000. Same with Hollows. Only by destroying the boundaries can they go above that--Spirit Energy does not depend on the status.

If you want to change the power ranking, go on and throw the ideas.

3rd seat: 100-1000 stats

Lieutenant: 1000-1500 stats

Captain: 1500-2000

Spiritual energy will differ from person to person.
