บท 104: Chapter 104
"Hey, Teacher Sō?"
Kaelith Yurei appeared next to Kuchiki Sōjun in a flash step, his expression filled with surprise.
He extended his hand, using a rudimentary healing Kido he had learned from Aizen, though it was far from refined.
A green glow emanated from his palm, enveloping Sōjun.
At the same time, he was about to raise his spiritual pressure to call for help.
"Cough, cough, Yurei, no need to call anyone," Sōjun quickly reached out and tugged at him as he felt the sudden increase in Yurei's spiritual pressure.
Under Yurei's puzzled gaze, he managed a wry smile.
"This condition of mine has always been there; it's nothing serious."
He sat up and explained his condition once again.
After hearing Sōjun's explanation, Kaelith's face showed realization.
From a young age, Kuchiki Sōjun was frail.
If the training intensity was slightly higher, his body would not hold up. Coughing blood and fever were minor issues, and in severe cases, he could even fall into a prolonged coma.
To avoid worse situations, Kuchiki Ginrei had always limited his training regimen.
All training that was too physically demanding was prohibited.
Kaelith recalled that during the half-year at the Academy, Kuchiki Sōjun indeed rarely engaged in physical training.
During sparring sessions, Sōjun would make a few moves and then rest on the side.
At the time, he thought it was a rule of the Kuchiki family, that they were only allowed to learn elegant moves and not to engage recklessly with others.
He never expected it to be for this reason...
He wondered if the Hell's Spring could cure congenital deficiencies.
If not, there was always Kisuke Urahara.
With Urahara's genius, curing someone shouldn't be too difficult, right?
And if even Urahara couldn't solve it...
Kaelith Yurei suddenly envisioned a semi-transparent crystal in his mind.
The next second, he shook his head vigorously, discarding the thought.
The Hōgyoku was too dangerous.
It was merely an item, yet it had its own will.
Only someone with a grand vision and a big heart like Aizen would dare use such a thing to seek breakthroughs.
He wouldn't rely on something like that!
Snapping back to reality, he looked at Sōjun.
"Teacher Sō, I think your father is right.
"If fighting isn't suitable for you, then just don't fight.
"It's like me; I can't seem to focus on reading, so I just don't read!"
Sōjun couldn't help but laugh.
"Don't give up on yourself, you still need to read!"
He shook his head.
"I can't back down. I am the only direct heir of the Kuchiki family. No matter what, I must become stronger, to relieve my father of his worries, and to bring honor to our family!"
Kaelith scratched his head.
Then, an idea struck him.
"I've got an idea."
Under Kuchiki Sōjun's watchful eyes, he raised a finger.
"Teacher Sō, the reason you must strive so hard is that you are the heir and no one can replace you.
"If so, why not have a child now? Then there would be a direct grandchild for the Kuchiki family.
"Perfect, isn't that... what's her name... from the backyard family about to marry you? Try hard to make her pregnant this year, and have the child by next year!
"With your father's robust health, he'll live long enough for your son to grow up.
"By then, let your father pass the headship directly to your son, and you'll be all set, right?"
Hearing Kaelith Yurei's words, Sōjun was initially baffled, thinking it was ridiculous.
But the more he thought about it, the more astonished he looked.
...Actually, Kaelith's suggestion wasn't a bad idea at all.
"The problem is, will my child definitely turn out well?" Kuchiki Sōjun looked worried.
"What if, like me, he turns out to be of no use?"
Kaelith laughed.
"Don't worry about that. I can guarantee with the Captain-Commander's arm, your son will definitely be a genius!"
Kuchiki Sōjun was baffled.
His own son—he himself lacked confidence, so where did Kaelith find such certainty?
The most outrageous part was that Kaelith spoke with such conviction, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.
Watching Kaelith's demeanor, he couldn't help but laugh and shake his head.
He truly was an odd character.
If only he could have half... no, even a tenth of his confidence.
Just as Kaelith was about to say something more, a voice suddenly thundered in his ears:
"Kaelith Yurei! You idiot! Are you going to be in the restroom until tomorrow?"
Hearing Yoruichi's shout, Kaelith snapped back to reality.
Goodness, he had said he was going to the restroom, and it had already been half an hour.
He looked in the direction of Yoruichi's voice.
That crazy girl, actually using spiritual pressure to amplify her voice, broadcasting it across the entire Kuchiki estate.
For someone with social anxiety like himself, this was embarrassingly too much.
Kuchiki Sōjun chuckled.
"That must be the head of the Shihōin family. It seems you two have a very good relationship."
"Yeah, in many ways."
Kaelith nodded.
"Alright, since I've been caught slacking, I better head back now.
"I'll keep an eye out for treatment methods during this time, and you take care not to overexert yourself!
"Eat well, sleep well!
"And really think about the kid's situation. Trust me, my great-nephew is truly talented!"
Listening to Kaelith's series of admonitions, Kuchiki Sōjun smiled patiently, nodding non-stop.
---
Leaving the Kuchiki estate, Kaelith rubbed his stomach and let out a comfortable sigh.
"Ah, that was satisfying... No wonder the Kuchiki estate is known for its cuisine. I should come more often."
Hearing this, Yoruichi displayed a displeased expression.
"We have great food at the Shihōin estate too. Come to my place tomorrow, and I'll show you what a real feast looks like!"
Kaelith's eyes lit up.
The two walked to a junction and then parted ways.
Yoruichi needed to inform the family elders about the day's events and discuss their response.
Kaelith headed towards the First Division.
Just as he was approaching the First Division, he suddenly stopped in surprise.
In front of a large billboard, Aizen stood there, pondering.
"Sōsuke?"
Kaelith approached.
Hearing his voice, Aizen turned and looked.
Then, without waiting for Kaelith to ask, he pointed at the sign in front of him.
"I came to check out the recruitment slogans for the divisions."
Kaelith looked up at the billboard.
Seeing the date, he showed a somewhat surprised expression.
It was quite a coincidence that several of them graduated early.
A batch of sixth-year students was spending their last half-year interning in various divisions.
He and Aizen just happened to catch this wave of "newcomers."
In a sense, this saved them a lot of trouble.
Suddenly, Kaelith remembered something.
As Aizen earnestly studied the recruitment standards of the divisions, Kaelith suddenly reached out and grabbed his sleeve.
"Sōsuke, please help me!"
Aizen: "…"
