Bleach: After Retiring From Zero Division, Aizen Came To Study

Chapter 25: The Curse Of The Ise Family



Thinking about it carefully, it has been several years since my brother died.

Kyoraku Shunsui couldn't help but think like this after Arima mentioned "sister-in-law".

When he was a teenager, his relationship with his brother was not very good.

Although he is a member of the Kyoryaku family, he is free and uninhibited, extremely dissolute, and is a prodigal son, while his elder brother is stable and mature, and is a very traditional descendant of the aristocracy.

Because of their different personalities, the relationship between him and his brother was very poor, and he rarely went home.

This was until his brother married his sister-in-law.

The eldest sister-in-law is a descendant of the Ise family, a Shinto family.

The Ise family is a matrilineal family.

According to records, all the newborns in the family are female.

In order to continue the bloodline, they can only marry sons-in-law from outside.

Every man who enters the Ise family will die young due to the family's curse.

Logically speaking, in this situation, the elder brother cannot get together with the elder sister-in-law.

After all, the elder brother is the head of the Kyoraku family, so it is impossible for him to marry into the family.

But love itself is a force that is incomprehensible.

In order to avoid embarrassment to her brother, the sister-in-law violated the family's ancestral precepts and chose to marry into the Kyoraku family instead of allowing her brother to marry into the family.

After her marriage, she moved to Kyoryaku's house.

I originally had a bad relationship with my brother, but because of my gentle sister-in-law, my relationship with my brother has eased.

However, the good times did not last long.

Even if the sister-in-law violated the family's ancestral precepts, and even if the brother did not marry into the family, the curse that enveloped the Ise family still followed.

The elder brother died in the end.

After the death of his brother, his sister-in-law was sent back to her parents' home due to the rule that noble women were not allowed to interact with her husband's family after his death. Since then, Kyoraku Shunsui has become the head of the Kyoraku family.

But he was not happy.

Because my brother died, and because my sister-in-law left.

He didn't expect to hear Arima mention "sister-in-law" today.

After a moment of trance, Kyoraku Shunsui did not hide anything and said to Arima: "My sister-in-law has been sent back to her parents' home after my brother died. To be honest, I haven't seen her for a long time."

"I don't know how she is doing now."

"Then do you want to go and meet?" Arima said to Kyoraku Shunsui.

Kyoraku Shunsui frowned slightly, "Senior Arima mentioned my sister-in-law for no reason. What do you want to do?"

He became wary of Arima.

Of course Arima knew that Kyoraku Shunsui cared about his sister-in-law, so he did not hide his purpose. Of course, he still kept part of it.

"The Ise family is a Shinto family that has been passed down from generation to generation.

When it comes to the long history of the family, it is not inferior to the five major nobles today.

I am very interested in the Ise family.

To be precise, the curse on the Ise family is very important. interested."

"What kind of curse is it that causes the Ise family to only give birth to women in each generation, and all men who marry or marry Ise family women will die young?"

"It's as if there is a force in the dark that wants to completely cut off the bloodline of the Ise family."

"Who does this power come from?"

"We are called Shinigami, but we can't even control our own destiny. Or are there real gods in this world who can affect our destiny?"

Arima talked eloquently and said some extremely mysterious words.

Although Kyoraku Shunsui knew a lot of things, he really couldn't understand what Arima said next.

There is no way, after all, the realms we are in are different.

Arima served as the captain of the Hundred Years Division 12 many years ago.

As we all know, those who can serve as captains of the twelfth division are not ordinary people.

They all have extremely thorough research on this world. Only in this way can they invent all kinds of novel things.

In addition to this, Arima was promoted there at one point.

Although Kyoraku Shunsui knows about it, he does not know the specific situation there. What exactly Arima experienced there and why he gave up being a member there and returned to Seireitei is also unknown.

But Kyoraku Shunsui still understood what Arima said before.

That is, Arima knows the Ise family very well and is very interested in the curse of the Ise family.

"Can senior Arima break the curse of the Ise family?"

There was a hint of excitement in Kyoraku Shunsui's tone.

Arima looked calm, "Whether I can break the Ise family's curse will have to wait until I figure out the cause of the curse."

"So, can you take me to meet your sister-in-law?"

Arima asked Kyoraku Shunsui again.

Kyoraku Shunsui's brows were still in a state of concentration. He did not answer the question directly, but asked Arima: "Why did senior Arima suddenly become interested in curses?"

Arima's eyes suddenly became deep, and he stared at Kyoraku Shunsui for a while.

Kyoraku Shunsui suddenly felt a little hairy.

He is the captain of the eighth division, and among the Seireitei, he is already considered one of the top beings.

But being stared at by Arima like this still made him feel uncomfortable.

Arima looked away and spoke quietly, "Don't you think there are too many secrets in this world?"

"When these secrets are in front of you, you can't help but want to explore the truth of the world and the reasons for these secrets."

"Is that so?" Kyoraku Shunsui frowned and asked Arim, "So, is this why, senior Arima, you left there?"

Arima did not answer this last question.

Kyoraku Shunsui continued to ponder.

"I can take you to meet my sister-in-law."

After a long time, he gave Arima the answer.

Kyoraku Shunsui finally chose to believe in Arima.

If Arima was a bad person, it should be impossible to leave that place calmly, or in other words, it would be impossible to be promoted there in the first place.

In addition, the main reason is the curse of the Ise family.

Because of this curse, his brother died.

But the curse still exists, and if nothing unexpected happens, it will continue to the next generation and his niece.

His niece was only so young, so when he thought that his niece might be burdened with a curse in the future, and that the man she loved might die, Kyoraku Shunsui felt a bit of pity and intolerance.

If possible, he would naturally want to lift the Ise family's curse.

That way, not only will the niece live a better life in the future, but the sister-in-law will also feel better.
