CHAPTER SIX

Thin, flimsy clouds flowed across a sky that was turned a brilliant orange by the setting sun.

Ring ring – Ring ring – Ring Ring...

The bell signaling the end of the workday rang across Seireitei.

Many shinigami had already gathered by now at Shiba Kuukaku's house, waiting their turn to add their reiatsu.

The earliest ones to arrive were the Fourth Division members who were given an early dismissal by Unohana. Next came the people who finished up their work early after reading the text. There was already a long line by the time the dismissal bell rang. This was because the text forwarded by Rikichi ended up making it way across many of the divisions, gathering together many ordinary members.

"Are you interested in literature from the living world? You can subscribe to any kind of magazines that you want --! There is absolutely no worry about privacy! Please come visit the YDM Bookstore--!"

Lisa called out and handed out fliers to the gathered shinigami. The walls of Kuukaku's house were covered with many huge posters advertising YDM Bookstore, steadily increasing its name recognition.

"The end of the line is over here--!"

"Would those in front please continue walking forward--!"

The two Shiba House servants Koganehiko and Shiroganehiko shouted, keeping the lines tidy and moving.

Neighboring people from Rukongai also came by to see what was going on and to sell refreshments to the shinigami. The Shibas' house was so surrounded it was like a festival was happening.

"Ahh – Kuchiki-san! You've been a huge help!" Next to the sword's tent, Urahara made a noise of astonishment.

"I had no idea that it would spread to this degree...!" said Rukia. She had been amazed at the crowd that had gathered when she arrived.

"...No matter what, we know that Mayuri is going to interfere. It's best for the reiatsu transfer to go as quickly as possible."

The two of them both agreed with Yoruichi.

"Everyone in line! Please do not add your reiatsu slowly, bit by bit! Do it all in one go! Thank you so much for your cooperation!"

Using a loudspeaker from the living world, Urahara called out to the line. Thanks to this, its forward speed increased dramatically.

"This way we should finish up earlier than expected." He let out a deep breath.Rukia agreed, looking at the end of the line. She then noticed something black fluttering towards them.

"This is...!"

"...It looks like we've been discovered," Yoruichi murmured, narrowing her eyes.It was a flock of black hell butterflies that were used to issue commands to the shinigami.[Urgent notification. Will all the captains and lieutenants immediately gather at the First Division Barracks. Also, will Urahara Kisuke bring the sword in question to the captains' meeting area.]The hell butterflies flew to each of the lieutenants and captains present and issued their commands. Afterwards, they gathered together in a flock and flew back towards Seireitei."If he's asking Kisuke to bring the sword with him, it doesn't look like he's going to punish anyone... Even the captain commander has been changed..." Yoruichi looked up at the sky with a happy expression.

Every single shinigami in the Gotei 13 had been changed.

Everything that Kurosaki Ichigo did impacted everyone's hearts that had been restrained before by the rules –

"Since it's like that, we should hurry! We can't make the captain commander wait for long!" Urahara also laughed happily.
