"Let's take a break and recover our Reiryoku." Isane suggested.
"But…"
Momo clenched her fists, but at the insistence of her two companions, she still followed them into the hot spring.
Footsteps from the next room caught Rukia's attention, but upon hearing that it was a female voice, she relaxed her guard.
"Huh?"
"It's them."
"What a surprise."
Tenya's Spiritual Sense immediately confirmed that the three female Shinigami were on the other side of the wall, and a strange expression appeared on his face.
"By the way, do you really believe it?"
"Rukia actually betrayed the Soul Society."
"Colluding with the intruder to murder Captain Aizen is unforgivable!"
Momo and Rukia were students from the same class at the Academy of Spiritual Arts, and their private relationship was quite good.
However, when it came to Aizen's death, she could not tolerate it.
"That sound, it's Matsumoto, Kotetsu, and Hinamori's voices!"
Hearing the conversation through the wall, Rukia covered her mouth in astonishment.
"Tenya, did you really kill Captain Aizen?!" Rukia looked at him with an inquiring gaze.
"No."
"That guy is very insidious, he set me up." Tenya shook his head and said.
"Are those Rukia's companions on the other side?" Rikka asked in surprise.
"Yes…"
"But it seems now I've been wanted by the Seireitei." Rukia sighed.
If she could, she didn't want to fight her former companions.
"Tenya-kun, should we sneak away now?" Megumi asked.
"Why run?"
"We'll just enjoy our soak." Tenya looked straight ahead.
"You…"
"You're trying to take advantage again, aren't you?" Megumi saw through his thoughts and was speechless.
Tenya waved at her impolitely and said, "Not at all, I just don't want to waste the hot spring. Megumi, come here and scrub my back.
"Eh, should I be making an angry face right now?" Megumi puffed out her cheeks, feigning anger.
"An angry Megumi is very cute." Tenya praised.
Then he waved to the eager Rikka nearby and said, "Rikka, you're in charge of scrubbing the front."
"The front?!"
"Will I see the Black Flame Dragon…?" Rikka covered her flushed face.
"Hey!"
"What are you guys doing?!" Rukia felt nothing but exasperation.
They were currently being pursued by the Gotei 13!
Bang—!
"I still can't forgive this!!"
"The thought of Captain Aizen being cut in half makes me want to rip the culprit to shreds!!!" Momo's anger had nowhere to vent.
"Calm down, Hinamori."
"Everyone is searching now. Maybe the enemy is hiding in some corner." Rangiku gently advised.
Isane added, "That's right, Hinamori."
"If you don't rest well and recover your Reiryoku, even if we find the enemy, we won't have the strength to fight."
"No!"
"I really can't stand it!!"
"You two rest well here."
Momo stood up from the pool, but being already physically and mentally exhausted, her mind was a mess and not working well.
"Your clothes! Your clothes!" Rangiku exclaimed, thinking that Momo was truly furiousm
However, at this moment, Momo had already jumped into the air, and a cold breeze suddenly woke her up, making her realize she was stark naked.
Fortunately, it was night, the sky was dark, and there was no one else around.
But even so, for a pure girl, it was still an extremely embarrassing situation.
"Ah?!"
With a huge shock and a wave of fatigue, Momo's eyes rolled back, and she fell from mid-air.
However, the anticipated fall onto the cold ground didn't happen. Instead, she landed in a warm embrace.
This feeling…
It felt very reassuring.
The physically and mentally exhausted Momo gazed hazily at the slightly familiar blurred figure before her, thinking, "Captain Aizen, is that you?"
[Ding!]
[Discovered Treasure Chest Holder: Momo Hinamori]
[Extract?]
"…"
Tenya held the naked girl in his arms, a strange expression appearing on his calm face.
What was this called?
A treasure chest from the sky?
He'd take it first!
'Extract!'
[Opening S-rank Treasure Chest... Congratulations to the Host on obtaining life amulet]
[When the target suffers a fatal attack, a protection mechanism will automatically trigger.]
Protective skills are very useful!
Tenya thought he could use this skill on those around him, adding an extra layer of protection.
"Ah, this…?!"
Megumi complained, "Tenya-kun, why do you always encounter these lucky encounters from the sky?"
"I'm starting to suspect you're the male protagonist of some light novel."
"Oh no…!" Rukia's expression suddenly changed.
She looked back to see Rangiku and Isane, each holding Momo's clothes, jumping onto the wall.
"Hinamori!"
"Are you alright…?!"
At first glance, there were three women and one man in the hot spring, and the man was holding Momo.
"Hey, let go of Hinamori!!"
"Wait, isn't that Rukia?"
"What are you doing here?!" Rangiku and Kotetsu Isane were stunned.
Rukia, who had been missing for days and was suspected of colluding with the intruder, appeared before them without warning.
"Yo~"
"Shinigami, we meet again." Tenya smiled and greeted them.
"Hiss!"
"It's you, you…!" Rangiku immediately showed a look of horror.
She had witnessed with her own eyes Tenya fighting multiple captains single-handedly and even managing to escape unscathed.
"Ah?!"
At this moment, Momo finally came to her senses.
Her eyes widened, staring directly at the enemy, who was so close.
At this moment, her brain, having received a strong impact, entered a state of temporary shutdown.
Let me first sort out the current situation!
The murderer of Captain Aizen, holding her naked body…
"Huh?!"
