"Tomorrow, you will take all the Quincy to our base for registration," Aozaki Reiji said casually, looking at Ishida Soken.
"From tomorrow onwards, all Quincy, from birth to marriage, childbirth to death, must be registered."
He paused, then continued, "At the same time, to avoid trouble, I will send two people to assist you in managing the Quincy in the Human World."
Upon hearing this, Ishida Soken frowned slightly.
He knew this was a necessary measure, but there was still a hint of worry in his heart.
Ishida Soken hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Aozaki-sama, I have no objection to you sending people to assist me in managing the Quincy… but if Shinigami and Quincy stay together, what if something unexpected happens…?"
"Do you dare to have an accident?" Aozaki Reiji suddenly laughed, a hint of playfulness in his smile.
Ishida Soken quickly shook his head, "We certainly wouldn't dare."
He knew the power gap between the two sides well and naturally wouldn't easily provoke trouble.
But he still had concerns in his heart and continued, "But for something like an accident, who can say for sure?"
He was genuinely worried.
There were still young people in the clan, full of youthful vigor. What if they thought they were capable again in the future and acted impulsively…
When it comes to accidents, it's not about fearing the inevitable, but fearing the 'what if'.
"Don't worry, they are also Quincy," Aozaki Reiji chuckled, then continued, "And I will give them the authority to act first and report later, so it's best if you don't have any accidents."
These words made Ishida Soken's brows furrow slightly. His lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he did not speak.
Ishida Soken's gaze was fixed on Aozaki Reiji.
For a moment, he didn't know whether to be surprised that Shinigami had Quincy under them, or to wonder at Aozaki Reiji's confidence in those two Quincy.
Their Ishida family also had three Quincy with Third-Class Spiritual Power, whose strength was not to be underestimated.
And could just two Quincy really clear up all possible troubles?
This kind of confidence was baffling.
Just then, Aozaki Reiji spoke again, breaking the silence.
He said, "My teacher's demands are finished… now for my own conditions."
Aozaki Reiji spread his hands, then gently placed one hand on the orange-haired girl's head.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the orange-haired girl, wondering what Aozaki Reiji intended to do.
"I want to take a pure-blood Quincy as collateral. This girl will do."
Aozaki Reiji's words shocked everyone present.
The Ishida family's Quincy began to stir.
Although there was no marriage contract, this pure-blood Quincy and their young master were publicly recognized as childhood sweethearts, and she was expected to marry into the Ishida family in the future to continue the bloodline.
Upon hearing Aozaki Reiji's words, Ishida Soken subconsciously wanted to ask for the reason and voice his objection.
However, just as he opened his mouth, a young voice interrupted him.
This voice carried a hint of determination, as if he had already prepared to lose his life.
"Why? If you need a pure-blood Quincy, I can also do it! It doesn't have to be Masaki, right? And I am the future head of the Ishida family, I am willing to take her place!"
Ishida Ryūken shouted anxiously.
However, just as he finished speaking.
Before his father, Ishida Soken, could respond, the members of the Ishida family surged forward, trying to stop him.
After all, Ishida Ryūken was the only son of the Ishida family head, and also the only pure-blood Quincy among the younger generation.
If they lost him, it would be a huge loss for the entire family.
For these people, if a wife was gone, they could find another, but if the pure-blood lineage of the Ishida family was broken, it would truly be irreversible.
"You arrogant brat, forget it," Aozaki Reiji gently shook his head, a hint of disdain and teasing in his tone.
"This girl is cuter, and we have quite a connection."
His gaze fell on Masaki.
Upon hearing this, Ishida Ryūken couldn't help but frown.
A connection… had they met before?
Moreover, from Masaki's expression, she was not afraid of this powerful and intimidating Shinigami.
On the contrary, she seemed to be full of trust and dependence on Aozaki Reiji, not feeling that he would harm her.
"I didn't expect Big Brother to still remember me," Masaki said with a hint of surprise.
"Of course, whenever a beautiful girl is involved, my mind becomes exceptionally sharp," Aozaki Reiji said with a smile, waving his hand.
But Masaki… did that kid just call her Masaki?
Why does that sound so familiar?
"What's your name?" Aozaki Reiji asked, a little confused.
"Kurosaki Masaki!"
"Kurosaki Masaki… Kurosaki Masaki…" Aozaki Reiji felt a slight itch in his brain, muttering a few times, then suddenly clapped his hand: "Kurosaki Masaki!"
Isn't this Kurosaki Ichigo's mother?
Kurosaki Ichigo is the chosen one of this world, the key figure who will defeat Yhwach in the future.
Aozaki Reiji said, troubled, "Kurosaki Masaki… what a pity… maybe I should just forget about it."
His startled demeanor made Kurosaki Masaki, who was standing in front of him, jump.
However, when she saw the helpless expression on Aozaki Reiji's face, she couldn't help but feel a touch of disappointment.
Was she really that annoying?
At this moment, the Quincy of the Ishida family were all beaming with joy.
After all, finding a pure-blood female Quincy was not an easy task.
If they could keep Kurosaki Masaki, they wouldn't need to spend a lot of time and effort searching for another pure-blood candidate.
Aozaki Reiji watched the overjoyed people around him and the slightly disappointed Kurosaki Masaki, and couldn't help but frown.
Although he knew that according to the original plot development, Kurosaki Ichigo was the savior who would defeat Yhwach.
But as an outsider, he had already had a huge impact on this world.
He had already changed enough; there was no need for this matter to follow the original story.
Besides, Kurosaki Ichigo's special quality was nothing more than being a hybrid.
Shiba Isshin is a Shinigami, isn't he?
He was even chosen by the Soul King to save the world!
If they had children…
Forget about a hybrid.
They might even give birth to an ultimate life form!
Then, upon birth, he awakens a Stand, his life goal is the starry sea, and he becomes the Great Dark Universe Emperor in the future.
Then, due to unknown reasons, his body is destroyed, scattering his genetic material everywhere, hiding behind the scenes to become the great mastermind stirring up the cosmic winds…
Cough, cough, cough… I've strayed too far.
But no matter what, Aozaki Reiji didn't think his child would lose to Shiba Isshin's child.
If he really gave birth to an ultimate life form, he wouldn't have to worry about Yhwach anymore.
Therefore, Aozaki Reiji, who yearned for his children to be outstanding, knelt on one knee without hesitation.
He knelt directly in front of Kurosaki Masaki, his expression as solemn as if he were proposing, and said earnestly, "Please, Masaki, have a child with me!"
Aozaki Reiji had said these words to more than one person, more than once.
But what he meant by that, those who understood, understood, and his wives understood.
This was truly the first time he had been so sincere.
"Eh?!!!"
The girl's gasp was deafening, as if it would pierce the clouds and echo throughout the entire mountain forest.
