Bleach: Why I, Kurosaki Ichigo, am not the harem king Chapter 047

When Kenpachi Zaraki woke up, he found himself surrounded by four people peering at him.

Everyone had a “you’re awake” expression on their faces.

It was as if the King of Wuji had woken up and was being stared at by Tang Sanzang and his disciples.

Kenpachi Zaraki felt a bit unaccustomed to it for a moment.

“Captain!” Ikkaku Madarame and Yumichika Ayasegawa exclaimed in surprise.

“What are you shouting about? I’m not dead!” Kenpachi Zaraki said impatiently.

Ikkaku Madarame laughed, his bald head still bandaged. “This young doctor is amazing! He healed our captain so quickly!”

At these words, Kenpachi Zaraki finally noticed that Ichigo Kurosaki was also among these people!

“You treated me? Where am I now?” Seeing Ichigo, Kenpachi was a bit confused. Didn’t he cut him down?

Why was he healing him now?

“Ken-chan! We’re in Squad Four right now!” Yachiru Kusajishi said.

Kenpachi Zaraki frowned, looking at Ichigo, who also had an unwilling expression.

“Don’t look at me like that. Do you think I wanted to treat you?” Ichigo said unceremoniously.

Ikkaku Madarame and Yumichika Ayasegawa exchanged glances. Goodness, their captain actually knew this doctor!

“Why are you here?” Kenpachi Zaraki didn’t bother being polite with Ichigo.

Ichigo twitched his white coat and said solemnly, “I’m Captain Retsu Unohana’s apprentice in Squad Four, so of course I’m working as a doctor here!”

At these words, Kenpachi Zaraki’s pupils constricted. “You’re that woman’s apprentice? No wonder!”

Clearly, Kenpachi Zaraki was overthinking things…

After all, in that battle a thousand years ago, both Kenpachi Zaraki and Retsu Unohana believed they had lost.

Although Kenpachi Zaraki was the one who fell, Unohana felt her victory was unfair, as he had held back, leading to a lose-lose situation in that thousand-year-old battle.

Unohana never grew stronger, while Kenpachi Zaraki sealed himself and became incredibly weak!

Looking at Ichigo, Kenpachi suddenly felt a sense of a cycle repeating!

“Alright, you’re fine. You can be discharged this afternoon.” Ichigo wrote something in a notebook, not looking up as he spoke to Kenpachi Zaraki.

Kenpachi Zaraki touched his chest and found that the cross-shaped slash wound had completely disappeared, as if he had never been injured.

Kenpachi Zaraki’s eyes were complex as he watched Ichigo leave.

Yachiru Kusajishi bounced onto Kenpachi Zaraki’s shoulder and said, “Ken-chan, we owe Ichi-chan two favors now!”

Kenpachi Zaraki grinned menacingly. “Then let’s give him a hand!”

Ikkaku Madarame and Yumichika Ayasegawa were even more confused.

“No matter what you want to do, Captain, we’ll be by your side!” The two declared their loyalty.

“No, baldies, your injuries aren’t healed yet, you need to rest properly!” Yachiru Kusajishi held up a finger.

Ikkaku Madarame groaned, “I miscalculated. I should have let that doctor treat us earlier!”

Yumichika Ayasegawa nodded repeatedly.

After treating a few more injured people, Ichigo returned to Retsu Unohana’s house.

Sitting by Retsu Unohana’s small garden, Ichigo drank a cup of tea. “Phew! Finally finished!”

At this moment, Yoruichi, in her cat form, landed beside Ichigo. “You’re quite leisurely, Ichigo. How did you end up as a doctor in Squad Four?”

Ichigo looked at Yoruichi and smiled, “Since I’m undercover, I have to do things that match my identity!”

“But it looks like your easygoing days won’t last long. I just received news that Rukia Kuchiki’s execution time has been changed again. The latest news is that Rukia Kuchiki will be executed three days from now!” Yoruichi directly informed Ichigo.

To her surprise, Ichigo showed no sign of anxiety, but instead smiled, “It seems someone can’t wait! They’re not willing to wait even less than twenty days!”

Yoruichi looked at Ichigo’s confident demeanor and asked curiously, “What are your plans?”

Ichigo glanced at Yoruichi and truthfully said, “No plans, really. I’ll just go directly to Soukyoku and rescue her on the day of the execution!”

Yoruichi looked deeply at Ichigo. Her intuition told her that this kid wasn’t telling the whole truth.

But before Yoruichi could say anything more, a gentle voice rang out, “Ara ara, I wonder when a little stray cat ran into my house!”

Retsu Unohana was back!

Yoruichi was startled. She wanted to say, “As expected of the first Kenpachi, Retsu Unohana!”

If Unohana hadn’t spoken, Yoruichi truly wouldn’t have noticed when she had entered.

“Sister Retsu, you’re back. How did it go?” Ichigo asked, looking at Retsu Unohana.

Retsu Unohana smiled slightly. “Things are settled. However, to successfully advance our plan, we’ll need the help of this black cat miss!”

At these words, Ichigo turned to look at Yoruichi.

Yoruichi sighed helplessly, “As expected of Captain Unohana, you’ve discovered my identity!”

Retsu Unohana was noncommittal. She wouldn’t say that she had just overheard Ichigo and Yoruichi talking!

Otherwise, with just a black cat, who would know it was a person!

However, this silent act of playing the expert made Yoruichi unable to gauge Unohana’s true intentions.

“Captain, tell me, what do you need me to do?” Yoruichi asked.

Retsu Unohana sat down beside Ichigo, as if a wife hosting a guest, poured a cup of tea, and looked at Yoruichi. “It’s not about what I need you to do. What I need is the Tenshiheisou, the sacred treasure of the Shihoin family!”

“Ichigo, you might not know this, but this black cat miss is the former head of the Shihoin family, one of the Four Great Noble Families alongside the Kuchiki family!” Retsu Unohana directly revealed Yoruichi’s identity, giving her no face at all.

Ichigo didn’t feel deceived after hearing this. After all, Yoruichi had been very sincere with him, though not as direct as Retsu Unohana.

Yoruichi’s heart sank, but she still nodded. “Alright!”

Retsu Unohana nodded. “And, Miss Yoruichi, please take away a captain-level Shinigami at that time. Don’t rush to refuse, listen to who I’m talking about.”

Yoruichi hesitated to speak.

“Soifon, Captain of Squad Two. How about it? You can definitely handle that opponent, right?” The smile on Retsu Unohana’s face grew wider.
