Afterwards, the white-clothed Rukia quickly darkened!
The Reiryoku representing a Shinigami returned, stronger than before!
"This... it really reached Captain-level!"
Looking at her own hands, feeling the surging power within, Rukia completely couldn't believe it!
But it was common knowledge that a Shinigami's power always came from one's own training. Now, to really gain something without effort... Rukia felt her worldview waver!
"Felt it, right? This is the power of the Hogyoku!" Looking at the astonished Rukia, Sora was nonchalant.
"And what the Hogyoku can accomplish is more than just this!" Sora held the Hogyoku and continued: "Make her grow a little!"
"Grow?" Hearing Sora's words, Rukia was very puzzled.
Mainly because 'grow' was vague without a subject… no one knew what Mizuki Sora meant by 'grow'.
However, she soon found out!
Under the Hogyoku's might, Rukia was shocked to discover that her center of gravity had shifted slightly, leaning more forward!
Moreover, now she could only see half of her own feet!
Looking at her own changes, Rukia was somewhat at a loss for words.
She blushed, looking at Sora, unsure what to say.
Mainly because using the Hogyoku for such a thing... Sora seemed somewhat improper to her!
However, regarding his actions, Sora didn't feel anything was wrong at all.
Looking at Rukia, who now completely filled out her clothes, Sora nodded in satisfaction: "This is how it should be. Why always wear oversized clothes?"
"Although you wear oversized clothes, they can't make you appear more mature."
"But now it's fine. I helped you mature. Don't thank me!"
"But..." Looking at Rukia, Sora still felt something was missing.
"Oh, right, then let's make another change like this!"
Holding the Hogyoku, Sora aimed it at Rukia: "Change for me!"
Then, under Rukia's astonished and even horrified gaze, her field of vision also began to slowly rise, and her hair began to grow longer!
Afterwards, a Rukia with a slightly taller and more slender figure, her hair styled into a side ponytail, appeared before Sora!
This Rukia looked very appealing. She now completely filled out her clothes, appearing delicate and exquisite. The side ponytail even gave a wife-like feel!
But unfortunately, Rukia's current demeanor couldn't carry it.
Sora couldn't help but add: "Mm, if you really want to repay me, that's fine too!"
"You..." Looking at Sora's expression, for some reason, Rukia instantly understood the 'repayment' Sora mentioned.
Taking half a step back, clutching her collar, Rukia roared at Sora: "Who would repay you for doing this to me!? Bastard!"
"And, who exactly are you? What do you want!!?"
"You definitely have nothing to do with the Kuchiki Clan!!"
Rukia had figured it out. Given Sora's wanton behavior, what he said earlier about Hisana was likely true, but saying he had a grudge against the Kuchiki Clan was definitely false.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have strengthened her like this, nor made her more beautiful and mature.
That's right, becoming more beautiful and mature… Rukia acknowledged this. Sora truly was doing her a favor.
This favor, though Sora's approach was somewhat teasing, the goodwill was genuine!
At this moment, looking at Rukia, Sora also shook his head: "Ah, I got found out?"
"As expected of Rukia, so clever!"
Sora continued: "Actually, I don't really know what I came here to do either. But I'll probably get to know more people, interact with more interesting folks!"
"For example, you, Rukia. You're very interesting!"
"I quite fancy you, Rukia!"
Sora said playfully.
"You..." Looking at Sora, Rukia was speechless.
She never expected to encounter someone like Sora just walking on the street.
But who told Sora was strong? She could only accept her bad luck.
"Well then, I wonder if Your Excellency has had enough fun now?" Rukia said unhappily: "Ichigo's condition is very dangerous. I should probably take him back now!"
As she spoke, Rukia stared intently at Sora, praying in her heart that he wouldn't cause any more trouble.
Because Ichigo was indeed in poor shape.
However, surprisingly, this time Sora agreed directly!
"Of course, you can go!" Sora nodded: "You can leave, Rukia. Because a more interesting person has arrived!"
"And that person... you actually know them too!"
"Right, former Captain of the 12th Division, the one who implanted the Hogyoku in Rukia… Urahara Kisuke-san?"
Sora looked to the side!
"What!!?" Under Rukia's shocked gaze, Kisuke, fanning himself with a small fan, slowly walked out.
"My, my, what 'former Captain of the 12th Division'? I'm just a fugitive."
