48 hours have passed since the explosion at Shuuko's house.
As expected, Shuuko's grandmother died in the explosion.
The explosion was so big that Grandma Nimi's house was blown to pieces.
48 hours earlier.
Ichigo, Nasa, Nia, and Shuuko ran quickly towards Shuuko's house.
But the closer they got to Shuuko's house, the more they realized that the smoke from the explosion was getting closer and closer to their destination.
Soon Shuuko overtook her three friends and ran quickly towards her house.
Ichigo, Nasa, and Nia also started running to catch up with Shuuko.
Upon reaching the remains of her house's entrance, Shuuko fell to her knees, crying with an expression of despair and tears streaming down her face.
Although tears were flowing from Shuuko's eyes, no sound came from her mouth.
She seemed so shocked that the tears came without her even realizing it.
Ichigo and his friends arrived next to Shuuko.
Nia and Nasa had worried expressions on their faces.
The neighbors, seeing the children in front of the house, approached them to help.
'This person is one of the presences that has been following us,' Ichigo thought coldly.
But Ichigo knew that as someone trained in the Zoldyck family's assassination methods, he should never let his emotions show.
Shortly after, a fire truck arrived to put out the fire.
'I knew it, because all the firefighters have a higher spiritual pressure than normal people.'
'They're probably in the same group,' Ichigo thought.
Ichigo pretended to be a normal child and to be scared.
5 hours later.
At the police station.
"Police Chief Haruto, what we've been able to investigate about the parents of the children named Kurosaki Ichigo, Honjou Nia, Yuzaki Nasa, and Nimi Shuuko is as follows," says a regular police officer.
"Nimi Shuuko's parents died in a terrorist attack approximately 6 months ago." "After the death of her parents, her grandmother adopted her and decided to move to Karakura City."
"Meanwhile, Kurosaki Ichigo's parents, Yuzaki Nasa and Honjou Nia, went on vacation to Okinawa yesterday."
"But when the plane was about to arrive in Okinawa, a terrorist shot down the plane with a rocket launcher."
"All the passengers died, and the perpetrator committed suicide, and his body is unrecognizable."
Police Chief Haruto listens to the summary while reviewing the report documents.
"What about the children's relatives?" asked Police Chief Haruto.
"According to our investigation, all of the children's relatives are dead," said the police officer.
"I understand, you may leave."
"I'll take care of calling those responsible for taking these children to a suitable orphanage," says Police Chief Haruto.
After the police officer leaves the office.
The police chief takes out a satellite phone and calls an encrypted number.
"Yes, Agent Yi Chen here," said the police chief.
[This is base, report on the mission's progress.]
"Everything is going according to plan, the children's parents and grandmother are all dead."
[Understood, the appropriate people will go to pick up the children to bring them to our country.]
"Yes sir, but I have an anomaly to report regarding the children."
[Report the anomaly.]
"According to my observations, the children are more mature than children of the same age. I'm afraid they might suspect why they are being sent to another country."
[Don't worry about those inconveniences, we have people with the ability to erase memories, and that won't be a problem.]
[Meanwhile, keep up the good work, Agent Yi Chen.]
The police chief, who doesn't appear to be more than 24 years old, sighs and puts the satellite phone away in a secret compartment. But what the police chief didn't notice was a boy with orange hair wearing a black shihakusho (robe) and black hakama (pants), along with white tabi (socks). He wore a white obi (belt) and a thick red strap that crossed his torso and back to hold the hilt of his Zanpakuto in its shikai state, and he had been listening to their conversation the whole time.
It was Ichigo Kurosaki in his soul form.
For some reason, Ichigo can use his Shinigami powers in both his soul form and his physical body.
Ichigo usually leaves his body so that people can't see him.
'I see, so this is a plan by people from other countries,' Ichigo thought with cold calm and a promise of revenge.
'So you want to erase our memories,' Ichigo thought.
Without anyone noticing, Ichigo returned to his body, which was lying inert in a break room at the police station.
Ichigo opened his eyes as if he had just woken up.
'According to what I heard, the name the police chief, Haruto, introduced himself with was Yi Chen, which means he's either using a fake name or he's an undercover agent from another country.'
'And the name the police chief Haruto used was Yi Chen, which means it's a Chinese name.'
'From what I know, in this world, World War II happened in the same year as in my previous life.'
'In 1945, which was 33 years ago, meaning that the conflicts between countries haven't cooled down yet.'
'So it's not impossible that there are spies from other countries.'
'Undoubtedly, those behind the murders of our parents are the Chinese,' Ichigo thought.
After waiting an hour, a person entered the room where Ichigo and his friends were.
"Good evening, children, my name is Sato Akane, I'm in charge of taking you to your new home, so don't be sad, everything will be alright," said a woman about 30 years old with black hair, black eyes, and a fairly average figure.
'It seems this person is the one who will be in charge of taking us from here,' Ichigo thought, noticing that this person's spiritual power is comparable to that of a Shino Academy student.
Nasa, Nia, and Shuuko are sad about the news of their parents' and grandmother's deaths.
Ichigo, on the other hand, is only pretending to be sad on the surface, but inside he only feels an emptiness, an emptiness almost on the verge of despair.
"Well children, I have to ask you some questions, so that everything goes well you'll have to put on this device," said Sato Akane, pointing to a device similar to a blood pressure machine that one of her companions brought.
"Who wants to go first?" asked Sato Akane.
Ichigo got up and walked towards the table in the middle of the room.
"Let's see, your name is Kurosaki Ichigo, right? Raise your arm and I'm going to put this bandage around your wrist, don't be scared, okay?" said Sato Akane, smiling.
Ichigo nodded.
As Sato Akane put the bandage on Ichigo's wrist and turned on the machine, Ichigo felt something trying to measure his spiritual power. 'What's happening? How can this machine measure spiritual power?' Ichigo thinks in less than 0.5 seconds.
Ichigo tries to stop the scan but can't because it's the first time something like this has happened to him.
When Ichigo is about to break the machine so they can't measure his spiritual power, suddenly everything around Ichigo turns black and white as if time has stopped.
Ichigo is the only one who can move in this black and white space.
'What's happening? Did someone stop time?' Ichigo thought.
Suddenly, a person appeared in front of Ichigo.
This person is floating upside down with the soles of their feet forming an X, their hands grasping their heels. Their appearance is that of a child with a childlike look, including a beret with a yellow clover, a red heart under the right eye, and multicolored eyes with diamond and spade-shaped pupils. They wear a red hooded sweatshirt, a chartreuse green shirt, blue shorts, one red sock, and blue bracelets.
"Who are you?" Ichigo asked seriously.
'This person is a reincarnated being or something like that, and why do they have the appearance of Tet from the world of No Game No Life?' Ichigo thought, ready to enter combat.
"Answer: This individual is merely a projection of the planet's consciousness, and I am not one of the individuals known as illegal reincarnators that the individual known as Kurosaki Ichigo is thinking about," a voice replied, emotionless and completely robotic.
"You can read my thoughts?" Ichigo asked.
"Answer: Affirmative. This being known as the will of the world can read the thoughts of all sentient beings born on this planet," the planet's consciousness replied.
"Then why did you seek me out at this moment, and what are illegal reincarnators, and why do you have the appearance of Tet?" Ichigo asked.
"Answer: This individual decided to take this form based on the memories of the individual known as Kurosaki Ichigo." "The reason I'm looking for the individual Kurosaki Ichigo is so that he can fulfill the agreed-upon responsibilities, allowing the individual Ichigo Kurosaki to reincarnate in this world."
"Beings known as illegal reincarnators are individuals who are reincarnated by external gods and used as coordinates to this world, and then used to steal the world's origin and disrupt the destiny of important people in the world, known as protagonists and supporting characters."
Ichigo was a little confused by responsibilities he didn't understand.
"What do you mean by my responsibilities? I don't understand," Ichigo said, confused.
"Answer: The individual known as Ichigo Kurosaki was reincarnated in this world due to an agreement with the god of reincarnation."
"For an individual to be reincarnated from one world to another, permission must be requested from the planet's will."
"The god of reincarnation made a deal with me so that the individual Ichigo Kurosaki could be reincarnated in this world."
"And the condition for Ichigo Kurosaki to be reincarnated in this world is to kill all the illegal reincarnators who arrive in this world."
