Ichigo brought everyone with him to Mc.Ronald. Maou and Emi were nowhere to be found. They must have already left to do their own things. And Maou fully trusted him that he would never do something bad with his store so he just went to the underground level of the store.
There was indeed a Garganta there.
"So the entrance and the exit of Garganta are a little bit different from each other."
Ichigo could see that the entrance was a little bit more intimidating compared to the exit one. It might be different because of the difference between worlds.
Ichigo looked at the trio and Nel. They were very excited to finally go back home.
"Itzygo, Can I come and play with Yzu and Kain again?"
Nel asked Ichigo, Even though she wanted to go back home but she also wanted to play with the twins and of course she wanted to be with him too.
He was very kind to her unlike the other Vasto Lorde. Except the female Vasto Lorde that usually protects her from the mindless hollow.
Ichigo nodded and answered with his usual smile.
"Why not. You can come to my house whenever you want but you must not trouble other people okay?"
Nel nodded quickly and pinky promised him that she would be a good girl. Yuzu had taught her how to win over Ichigo's heart. He was really a softie when it came to kids.
Kunou and Yasama smiled as they really picked a golden prize. He would be a very good husband and father.
"Let's go in. I really want to know what Hueco Mundo really looks like."
"Yes"
Then Ichigo went ahead. He had changed into his hybrid hollow and devil form. It was so intimidating and cool at the same time.
Yasaka fell for him again.
"Itzygo smells very nice!"
Nel jumped and hugged his neck from the back and sniffed him furiously and nibbed him on the neck. Ichigo chuckled and thought that Nel was very cute. He didn't know that this action was like marking territory for female arrancar.
Hueco Mundo, This place was so depressing like his old version of the inner world.
It was full of white sand and the sky was dark with a huge moon. It looked beautiful yet ugly at the same time.
"Itzygo this way, This way!"
Nel tried to drag Ichigo with her but with his physical. She couldn't move him a little bit.
This physique weighs more than two tons. Nel in her current form was no different from children.
Ichigo had to let himself be dragged by her because he didn't want her to hurt herself.
Nel wanted to bring him to her home.
…
Nel's home wasn't like anything he thought it would be. It was just a sand dune and had a big hole for everyone to come inside.
Inside the sand dune was actually a nice and cozy place with many decorations. There was even a refrigerator and television. Even though they didn't seem to be working.
"Nel, Where did you get all of these things?"
Ichigo asked her curiously.
"Oh, I bought them from a merchant in the city! Itzygo do you want to eat something?"
Nel felt like she needed to treat him to a good meal. She went to the refrigerator and bought out many fruits and to his surprise. All of it was spiritual fruit of the highest grade.
"These were delicious and very expensive. But I will share it with everyone!"
Nel shared all of her spiritual fruit to everyone. Ichigo sended one each to the inner world for Hanakami to get information from them so she could produce them in his inner world.
They spend some time in Nel's house before Ichigo wanted to go to the city but Pesche stopped him first.
"Please wait, Your majesty."
"What is it?"
"You can't go into the city like that otherwise the other lords would think that you want to take over it. The city that Nel and we always went to was governed by Harribel-sama. We must contact her first."
Ichigo nodded and he guessed that Harribel must be a Vasto Lorde too. He didn't want to make a mess so he would let Pesche contact the local Vasto Lorde first.
…
On the high tower in the middle of the city near Nel's house.
A chocolate skin woman with blonde hair and white armor was now looking down from the tower toward her city with a detached expression.
She was Harribel. The local Vasto Lorde.
She governed this city and protected it from other Vasto Lorde. Even though they had a treaty not to attack each other. That didn't mean they couldn't play games behind the scenes. They didn't move themselves but sent their minion instead.
"How annoying."
She said, It had been a hundred years that she had to suffer from their relentless attack and there were only a few of her people left. Sooner or later she would lose this city and she had to leave and spend her life in the white sand desert alone.
What arrancar feared the most was not the formidable enemy but the loneliness that would pull them down to become the mindless one.
