"Flying Technique!"
After leaving school, Adam immediately used the Disillusionment Charm to turn invisible, then used Flying Technique to fly towards Kurosaki Ichigo's house.
"Is this Kurosaki Masaki, Kurosaki Ichigo's mother?"
Arriving at Kurosaki Ichigo's house, Adam looked at the large photo displayed on the living room wall—which looked more like a poster than a memorial portrait—and activated his Rinnegan's ocular power.
"Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique!"
A moment later, nothing happened.
"As expected, there's no way to revive her."
Kurosaki Masaki was originally a pure-blood Quincy. While saving the Shinigami Shiba Isshin, she was bitten by a Hollow, and her body became mixed with Hollow power, thus her Bloodline was no longer pure. Yhwach, the progenitor of the Quincy, took away her power, and she died at the hands of a Hollow.
This is also the reason why Kurosaki Ichigo possesses four powers within him.
His Shinigami Power comes from his father, Shiba Isshin. The Shiba clan was once one of the five great noble families of the Bleach World.
His Quincy Power comes from his mother, Kurosaki Masaki, a former pure-blood Quincy.
His Hollow power comes from the Vasto Lorde, modified by Aizen, that bit his mother.
As for Fullbring power, humans who are attacked by a Hollow and survive usually awaken Fullbring power after having children.
Since Kurosaki Masaki ultimately died at the hands of a Hollow, and her soul was completely gone, even if he used the Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique, he couldn't revive her.
The Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique can revive the dead, but the prerequisite is that the dead person's soul must still exist. Even if it's like in the Harry Potter World, where it has already merged with the World, it at least still exists.
What are Hollows? They are the spirits of the deceased who, due to lingering attachments to the living World or other obstructing factors, cannot ascend to the afterlife and instead wander in places that attract them.
After years of torment from their grievances, or accelerated by external factors, these wandering spirits eventually degenerate into Hollows.
To be killed by a Hollow means that the soul will also be devoured by the Hollow, completely disappearing from this World.
In fact, whether it's becoming a wandering spirit, a Shinigami, or even a newly formed Hollow, Adam believes his Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique might still be effective.
This is also why he didn't use the matter of reviving his mother to gain Kurosaki Ichigo's trust.
Because he had long anticipated this situation.
In his opinion, the Bleach World's combat power is not as strong as the Dragon Ball World, but it is much more cruel.
Many times, it's a battle of souls; once killed, it's complete annihilation of both body and soul. Even an existence like the Spirit King is no exception.
The Dragon Ball World is different; what dies is the body. As long as the dragon ball are found, one can be revived repeatedly, or if one dies, they can still Training in the afterlife with King Yemma, living a good life with good food and drink; it's just a change of place.
"Perhaps, only by mastering the Spirit King Power and surpassing this World in strength can I find a trace of Kurosaki Masaki's true spirit within this World and revive her," Adam murmured to himself.
However, this was just his guess, and even if he truly reached that level, whether she could be revived was uncertain.
Moreover, even without reviving Kurosaki Masaki, he could still gain Kurosaki Ichigo's trust, because he never intended any malicious plans against Kurosaki Ichigo.
Time reveals a person's heart; after spending more time together, Kurosaki Ichigo would understand.
Just as Adam was lamenting that the Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique was not omnipotent, the door to the house opened, and a little girl with twin pigtails, wearing a sailor school uniform, walked in.
When she saw Adam standing in the living room, a surprised look appeared on her face:
"Brother, why are you home so early today? Has Dad not returned yet?"
This little girl was Kurosaki Ichigo's younger sister, Kurosaki Yuzu. She had just started her first year of junior high this year, and was gentle and good at housework.
Even in elementary school, she had already taken on the heavy responsibility of looking after the daily lives of the four-person family.
"School ended early today. He should be busy at the hospital. Why don't I see Karin?"
Adam replied with a natural smile.
Kurosaki Ichigo's father's identity in the living World was a Doctor, who ran a clinic called Kurosaki Clinic.
Karin is also Kurosaki Ichigo's younger sister, Yuzu's twin, and has a more tomboyish personality.
"Karin said she has club activities today and will be home later."
Yuzu changed into her slippers, put down her schoolbag, and walked towards the kitchen. As she passed Adam, she suddenly stopped and looked at him:
"Brother, you look a little different today?"
"Different? How am I different?"
Adam touched his face:
"As expected of siblings, even with the same body, they noticed the difference so quickly."
"You just look a lot gentler," Yuzu replied after thinking for a moment.
She knew her brother was a very gentle person at heart, but he never showed it on his face.
Even with his family, he had never shown such a gentle smile as he did today; he always looked fierce.
"I warn you, don't hurt Yuzu, or I won't let you off!"
At this moment, in the mental space, Kurosaki Ichigo was afraid that Adam would harm his sister after his identity was exposed. Despite being unable to move, he still threatened loudly.
Adam didn't get angry upon hearing this:
"I said, I have no ill intentions, and I also have a younger sister."
"Brother, I'm going to prepare dinner. What do you want to eat tonight?"
Although Yuzu felt her brother was a bit different today, she didn't think much of it for a while. Instead, she took down an apron from the hook, preparing to make dinner.
Seeing this, Adam reached out and took the apron from Yuzu, pushing her to sit on the living room sofa:
"Yuzu, you sit here and watch TV. Brother will make dinner tonight."
Anyway, it wasn't time yet, so he would first release some goodwill through these trivial matters.
Yuzu, who was forcibly pressed onto the sofa, looked at Kurosaki Ichigo walking into the kitchen and closing the door, a strange expression on her face:
"This is so strange, Brother is actually going to cook dinner himself?"
In her impression, her brother had never even been in the kitchen; he probably couldn't even tell the difference between salt and MSG.
"You're not doing a good job as an older brother. Your sister is still so young, how can you let her do so much housework?"
After closing the kitchen door, Adam teased Kurosaki Ichigo in the mental space while waving his hand to cast cooking magic.
All the ingredients and cooking tools in the kitchen immediately moved on their own, and in less than twenty minutes, eight delicious dishes, perfect in color, aroma, and taste, were completed.
"Alright, it's about time. See you next time."
After making dinner with magic, Adam saw that the time was right, ended the Dream Walking Technique, and returned the body to Kurosaki Ichigo.
After Kurosaki Ichigo regained control of his body, he looked at the kitchen full of dishes and couldn't help but murmur:
"Who exactly is this guy?"
"But, he doesn't seem like a bad person."
He couldn't figure out Adam's methods. The abilities of invisibility, flight, and suddenly producing a table full of dishes didn't emit any spiritual pressure; it was a power he had never seen before.
Fortunately, the other party hadn't shown any malice so far.
"Brother, you made all this? That's amazing!"
At this moment, Yuzu, worried that her brother might set the kitchen on fire, quietly poked her head in. When she saw the kitchen full of dishes, her mouth immediately formed an "O" shape, and her voice was filled with disbelief.
"Ah, this..."
Kurosaki Ichigo scratched his head, at a loss for how to explain.
The dishes were indeed made by this body, but not by him. Even if he explained, Yuzu probably wouldn't believe him.
"Looks like I need to find time to ask Shopkeeper Urahara."
