章 763: The Assassin and The Princess

The next day, Xin told Enryū and Kenryū what happened last night, he asked them to be ready at all times if the ever assassin comes again.

But for the whole day, the assassin did not come back at all, as if they evaporated permanently.

"Hey. Let's continue to peel off that Corn." Rurichiyo said.

"Did you guys give up yesterday? Why did you want to touch my corn again?" Xi masked.

"Well, I think it tastes good if we eat that corn."

"That corn is really good, but if you want to eat it, you should work more, after all, you guys only peel off 5 husk of it, you cant even see the fruit at all."

"Don't worry, we have a plan today, we can get that corn peeled before sleeping time,"

"Then good luck,"

And just like that, when they go back, they all walk to the Corn in the underground storage room and start peeling it off.

This time they prepared a good plan to make their work easier so that they can finally take the fruit out o the husk

And the plan is pretty simple, they just made a Reiatsu rope and tied it in the husk, then they all grabbed the rope and pulled it with all their strength.

It's fast and easy, they don't need to make their work hard because they can all participate just by pulling the rope.

"Your guys are smart, I thought you guys will peel it off one by one," Xin said.

"Of course, I spent all my time coming up with a plan today, and my plan works, now we can get corn to eat."

"Then good luck."

After half an hour, they finally peel it off, the only thing left is the thick fiber that protects the corn inside.

Enryū walks and starts to remove the fibers but there's a problem, the fibers are too thick and tough, he can't even cut it with his Zanpakuto.

"What kind of fiber is this! It like a tendon of a super large beef,"

"Let me see," Ichigo walked and tried to pull one fiber, and just like Enryū, he couldn't even pull one off it.

Rurichiyo grins and walks to where Tama is, she whispers something, and Tama happily grins, it seems they both become close friends after a couple of days.

Tam walks to the giant corn and taps it to try.

"Void Cutter -desu!"

In Tama's finger, a dagger-like nail comes out, the nail of a tiger or a cat, she then grabs one fiber and easily cuts it.

"WOW!!"

"What then! Her nails are sharper than my Zampakuto!" Ikkaku surprisingly said.

Ichigo who beside Tama sees that the fiber cuts cleanly without any mark of resistance at all, like hot knife slicing butter.

Tama then started working like a professional slicer, she sliced, cut, and chopped all the fiber without damaging the fruit inside.

And after a few seconds, he cleanly removes the fiber around the corn revealing perfect corn that they can only see one in their lifetime.

"Don- desu."

"Good, I will bring you that thing later," Rurichiyo said.

��I'm waiting -desu," Tama said while cheerfully hoping for Pochi.

Xin looked at them and said," Now there's the fruit, you can get one, only one, after all, one is enough to feed all of us."

"Really? Maybe you don't believe us getting more than one?" Rurichiyo said.

"Let me show you how easy this is," Ikkaku walks to the corn fruit, grabs a kernel and tries to pull it out, his face becomes pale suddenly, then blue, purple, and true green.

"What the heck, even the kernel is too hard to pull!!," Ikkaku can't help but curse, he felt that he was pretty weak in front of this corn.

Single corn can make his face change to a different color.

"If you want to get a kernel, you need to hit the corn behind and push the kernel in front to pop out, of course, not just casual punch, you need to make the punch full power to force the kernel to come out," Xin said leaving them alone, feeling the intruder around the house.

"Let me help you guys," Inoue said, preparing to use her amplifying cannon.

Rurichiyo looks at Xin who walks away silently, she feels that something is going to happen, looking at how bussy the other, she silently follows him.

...….

Xin who came out from the house helplessly said," So you guys really come back again, and you guys seem prepared this time."

Looking at them holding different kinds of weapons, Xin seems that he will get the quest item tonight.

Then a thick mist starts to shroud the whole street, it is so thick that they can even cover the moon's light.

"Xin!" Rurichiyo who sees everything can help to run toXIn and grab his cloth.

"What are you doing here? You should not come out, my house is safer than going out." Xin helpless siad.

"B-But…." Rurichiyo nervously said.

"Well never mind. Just don't leave my side,"

"Umm"

Then a wave of green slight shoot straight to Xin, seeing it Rurichiyo can't help but to grip Xin's hand tightly,

"Don't worry," Xin waved his hand, diverting the path of the greenlight, then the green light transformed into a wall of rock.

Then from the mist, dozens of blades suddenly fly strength to them, Xin grabs one then uses it to deflect all the blades then throw it inside of the mist to try hitting the assassins.

"It's actually sealing my own senses? What a weird weapon."

Xin then created a Kido spell around Rurichiyo to protect her from harm," It seems that problem follows yo uneven in your vacation, Princess."

Rurichiyo blush hearing his teasing voice, she did not know that theories about a group of assassins targeting her all along.
