Chapter 676: I Refuse
“You… Who are you?”
Inside Urahara’s shop, a red-haired youth saw Roja and prepared to fight.
“Wait, Jinta…”
Urahara hurriedly gestured for Jinta to stand down, but before he could say anything, Roja disappeared suddenly and directly appeared on the empty side of the table.
“It’s okay if you don’t know me, the shop owner already gave his consent, as a child, you shouldn’t interrupt grownups when they are talking.”
“…”
He so anxious that he almost attacked Roja, but the fear he felt paralyzed him, and the source of that fear was Roja teleporting away.
At this time, The Cat Yoruichi was extremely shocked as her eyes were wide open.
Even she didn’t see her surroundings when Roja moved.
Even though she was held by Roja, she didn’t see her surrounding move at all, and she is the flash G.o.ddess of soul society.
She couldn’t believe what just happened.
The first to break the awkwardness was Isshin who’s mouth was twitching before saying: “Captain Roja, it has been a long time since we last met…”
Roja promotion to the Zero Squad wasn’t a secret as it was announced in public, even though he won’t be able to know this, Isshin heard from Urahara.
But the Zero squad members weren’t officers, and when someone wants to talk to them, they would just call them Captain or sir.
“These should be my words, who thought that one of the mighty captains of soul society would open a small clinic in the human world and live there leisurely.”
Roja patted the small black cat as he chuckled at Isshin.
Isshin shook his head and said: “It’s not like that, as a captain, I need to do some messy work; it’s easier being here.”
“Tsk.”
Roja looked at him and said: “What are you talking about? Most of the work is dumped on Matsumoto and Hitsugaya, right?” Which made Isshin blush and cough.
He shamelessly said:” You’re not one to talk.”
“…”
Roja didn’t have any retort to this and could only say: “What about now? Look at yourself and compare that to me.”
Yoruichi: “…”
Urahara: “…”
Tessai: “…”
They all were speechless as their mouths twitched. It was unbelievable to think that one was a captain of the Gotei 13, and the other was one of the Zero Squad.
“May I ask why captain Roja visited us today?”
Urahara finally asked the main question. He was clear that someone from the Zero Squad, leaving the Soul King’s Palace wasn’t a small matter.
But, he didn’t think that Roja would be bound to that type of thinking, as he guessed that the last time he came here, he was looking for the Hogyoku.
“Relax, I’m not here to cause any trouble. I just come to the human world on vacation.” Roja explained leisurely.
Urahara and Isshin almost spat their tea.
A Member of the Zero Squad, the ones who are above even the Gotei 13, came down to the human world for a vacation. Is this a joke?!
Without paying attention to the people, he grabbed a teacup and took a sip. Yoruichi took advantage of this and slipped out of Roja’s hold and rushed out of the room.
A moment later, Yoruichi returned in her human form without any anger but instead looked at Roja provocatively.
“You only know how to bully a cat. Where are you’re dignity as a member of the Zero Squad.”
“Hey, don’t say that I will only bully a cat. I can also bully you…”
Roja said before looked at the others in the room and said: “Do you all think if I make a move right now, all of you together can block me?”
Such words made the atmosphere in the room turn tense.
Yoruichi and Tessai were quiet, their expression serious, and ready to take action at any moment.
But Urahara smiled bitterly and said: “ You are here for the Hogyoku, but it’s no here anymore.”
Thinking about everything, Urahara could only guess that Roja’s purpose coming here was the Hogyoku.
“Worthy of the intelligent man I always here about, Urahara, you guessed half of my purpose coming here. As for the wrong half, I already know that the Hogyoku isn’t here, and know where it is, but I’m not interested in its current state, but what I want to know is… How you made it.”
Roja was really interested in this if his expression told Urahara anything. He really wanted to know how Urahara manufactured the Hogyoku.
Although Urahara wasn’t as strong as Aizen, the week Urahara can use his brain to create something that would actually have the potential to create someone stronger than the soul king.
“…”
Urahara’s expression darkened before he said: “Sorry, but I can’t tell you the process of creating it.”
Although Urahara didn’t think that Roja could create another Hogyoku, he wasn’t sure about this. If he was to create another one, it would threaten the soul society.
He didn’t care what Roja would do after he refused, but he had to refuse nonetheless.
