"oops?"

"Another trip in vain!"

"How did this happen?"

Arriving at a remote trail in the Brook forest area, Tony glanced at the fearful and trembling fat spirit in front of him, then turned to Rukia and said.

"How many times has this happened this week?"

"Isn't your phone broken?"

"Strange! It shouldn't be possible..."

Rukia held the command machine and kept clicking it, and said in confusion.

"Logically, Xu Xu should appear here..."

"Stop talking about what should or shouldn't be done."

Tony pointed to the command machine in Rukia's hand and said.

"The point is how to solve this matter. Please, I'm very busy at this time."

"As if I'm not busy, don't forget that I handled some of your files for you!"

"That's all because there's something wrong with your machine!"

"I...I told you, it's not broken!"

"It's not broken?"

"Then can you tell me the reason?"

Looking at Rukia in front of him who was stubborn and refused to admit it, Tony's forehead instantly showed a tic-tac-toe, and he said with a slightly stronger tone.

"Is it possible that there is another Shinigami in this area, and he destroyed the Hollow before us?"

"Uh, no..."

Rukia touched her chin and asked after thinking carefully.

"The regional divisions of Shinigami are very clear, and this situation generally does not happen."

And when Tony and Rukia kept arguing.

The fat spirit not far away had recovered a lot from the fear and trembling state, and then ran towards Tony with snot and tears in his eyes.

"Wow, I'm so scared——"

"I have been waiting for your arrival for a long time..."

"Say to the person who saved you!" "Four Ninety" looked at the runny nose and tears in front of him, Tony couldn't help but shuddered, and then kicked him.

Kick the fat spirit out on the spot.

"Wait, Tony!"

Rukia on the side captured some key information from the fat spirit's words, quickly stopped Tony's movements, and then turned to look at the fat spirit in front of her.

"You just said [I'm so scared], right? So there's really something wrong here?"

"Speak quickly! Who destroyed Xu and saved you?"

"And what does that person look like??"

"I……………"

Hearing this, Fat Spirit spared his head in embarrassment, Kaidō.

"I was too scared to open my eyes, so..."

"Well?"

Before he finished speaking, Fatty Ling suddenly noticed that the atmosphere around him had become solemn. When he looked up, he noticed that the man and woman in front of him were looking at him with unhappy eyes.

This frightened the fat soul so much that he took out his most cherished treasure on the spot and apologized.

"Yes, yes, sorry!"

"I don't know anything, I'm sorry!"

"To express my apology, I give you my treasure [Magical Girl Megalon] model. Please forgive me."

"Forget it, you'd better keep it yourself."

Tony retracted his unhappy eyes, sighed, then pulled out the Zanpakutō from his back and said.

"Next it's time to prepare for the soul burial, get ready!"

"Hey? What is soul burial?"

The fat spirit looked at the fang-like Zanpakutō in front of him with a look of horror.

"Is it possible...are you going to kill me with this knife?"

In this regard, Tony did not say anything, and simply pressed the fat soul's forehead with the end of the knife handle, completing the soul burial and sending it to the Soul Society.

Under the light of Soul Burial, neither Tony nor Rukia knew.

On a tall building not far away, a young man with glasses was watching this scene silently.

Stark Industries Building.

Pepper stood in front of the mountain of papers on the table.

He looked unswervingly at Tony Stark, who had disappeared since noon.

Although I don't know what he went to do.

But recently, he kept disappearing from time to time, which still made Pepper feel very uneasy.

Therefore, she felt it necessary to remind Tony what he needed to pay attention to these days.

"Tony, I think there are two things I need to remind you."

"Say it, Pepper."

Tony glared at Rukia unhappily for throwing all the questions to him, then looked at Pepper and said.

Seeing that Tony was still thinking about messing around with Rukia even at this time, Pepper rubbed her brow with a headache and reminded her in a serious tone.

"The first thing is that the board of directors has invited the chairman of Ishida Pharmaceutical Company to attend a dinner hosted by Stark Industries tomorrow night. You must be there then."

"Isn't Obadiah usually in charge of company dinners?"

"Why do I have to be there this time?"

Tony came to the wine cabinet, picked out a bottle of red wine and poured it into the wine glass, then shook the red wine glass in his hand and asked with a puzzled tone.

"Also, if I remember correctly, our company's main business should be weapons manufacturing. How does this have anything to do with pharmaceutical companies?"

“You can’t count on Mr. Obadiah for everything.

"Moreover, the chairman of Ishida Pharmaceutical Company has strongly requested you to attend this party. This is the basis for cooperation.

Pepper dug out a document from his desk and introduced it.

"As for why it is related to Ishida Pharmaceutical Company, it has to talk about their company's main business direction."

"The drugs they produce are mainly widely used in the military. They are famous for their quick effects, simple operation, and obvious effects. These are very popular among military personnel. Therefore, the board of directors hopes to reach a bundled sales plan with Ishida Pharmaceuticals, which will It will greatly boost the company’s revenue.”

"Tch, is it another suggestion made by the old antiques on the board of directors..."

Hearing that it was related to the board of directors, Tony curled his lips in displeasure, then drank the red wine in one gulp and waved his hand Kaidō.

"Okay, okay, I understand. I will be there on time. You still don't understand me?"

"I hope so. I don't want you to see someone again and ask me to call around to find someone."

Although Tony's living habits did change a lot during this period.

But new problems also appeared, and the habit of disappearing from time to time gave Pepper a headache, fearing that Tony would suddenly disappear during the party.

Tony's face froze. Although he wanted to explain that he was disappearing from time to time to protect the safety of the people, he was afraid that telling the truth would make Pepper worried. In the end, he spread his hands helplessly, Kaidō.

"Okay, I'll try my best to do this."

"alright."

Pepper, who didn't know the truth, thought Tony was pretending.

So he ignored it, took out another document, and continued the previous topic.

"Then, regarding the purchase of Jericho missiles, Mr. Obadiah has already reached an agreement with General Ross."

"In response to the military's request, Tony, you will represent the company in the Afghan Military District in one and a half months to conduct actual combat exercises on the Jericho missile.

Go to the Afghan Military District for actual combat exercises!?

What about Shinigami’s job!??

If I were gone, Rukia would be left as a person who has not yet recovered her strength and would be unable to stand on her own.

God knows how many innocent souls or humans will die in the hands of the void.

No, I absolutely can’t go!!

Tony was so excited that he quickly put down his glass and came to Pepper and shouted.

"No, Pepper, I can't leave New York at all now, there are more important things waiting for me here.

"Oh~~ something more important?"

Pepper narrowed her eyes slightly and asked thoughtfully.

"Then what important thing is it that makes our famous Tony Stark inseparable from New York?"

"Uh... no, it just can't be done anyway!"

Tony couldn't tell anything about Shinigami, so he could only refuse Pepper's request.

At the same time, he blinked at Rukia not far away, hoping to get her help.

However, when he looked at Rukia, he was surprised to find that she was holding a notebook in his direction.

After taking a closer look, I saw a big blank word written on the notebook.

This made Tony frown.

For a moment, he didn't care to continue arguing with Pepper, and quickly blinked to hint whether Rukia was serious this time.

In response, Rukia nodded frantically in confirmation.

When Tony saw this, he could only immediately cover his stomach and pretend to be uncomfortable and said to Pepper in front of him.

"Forget it, I won't argue with you anymore. I feel a little upset in my stomach. Let's go first, Little Pepper."

With that said, Tony opened the door and ran out without waiting for Pepper to reply.

Only Pepper was left shouting behind him.

Tony, tomorrow is a day off, but don’t forget to attend the dinner party tomorrow night!

"Don't worry, I will arrive on time."

Tony waved back and then disappeared from Pepper's sight.

In response, Pepper sighed habitually, then turned and returned to the office.

Immediately afterwards, she discovered that Rukia was also missing, which made her complain dissatisfiedly to Natasha, who was the only one left in the office.

"Tony and Rukia, it's true, it was obvious that there were still ten minutes until the time to get off work, but they all slipped away early, not paying attention to the company's system at all.

"Perhaps Tony and Rukia are like this because they really have something important to do.

After hearing Pepper's complaint, Natasha recalled the observations and intelligence collected during this period, Kaidō looked thoughtful.

"Is this so..."

Thinking of a body similar to Tony's that she vaguely saw at Tang Guanyin Temple's show that night, Pepper's tone couldn't help but pause.

Then she turned to look at the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, looking out at the dusk scene outside the window, Didi murmured to herself...

"Maybe... you are right, Natasha...

at the same time.

Tony, who had turned into a spirit state again, was complaining to Rukia.

"Is this what you said is really false?"

"In the end, I couldn't see anything, even during the day!"

"What's the fuss about?"

Rukia dragged Tony's body over: "Go back to your body quickly!!"

"Hmph! You'd better think of a solution quickly."

"Are you blaming me?"

"I'm just telling you the instructions of the command machine exactly as they are!"

"Then you should fix it quickly!"

Tony entered his body and then replied angrily.

At this time, a deep voice suddenly came from the dark path beside him.

"This is a quarrel? It's really outrageous.

The sudden sound startled Tony and Rukia at the same time, and they turned to look at the dark path behind them.

Soon, they saw a young man wearing square glasses and wearing white clothes appear in front of them and greeted them.

"Good evening, Stark, Kuchiki."

"who are you?"

Tony frowned slightly and asked slightly warily.

"Why are you here so late at night?"

"Stark, you can see spirits, right?"

"What are you talking about?"

Seeing the mysterious young man in front of him suddenly ask this question, Tony's expression changed and he subconsciously denied it.

"Although I am indeed very talented, it does not mean that I can see those messy things!"

"Oh, is that really true?"

The mysterious young man didn't mind Tony's denial, but slowly turned his head to the right and said.

"Then... a new Hollow has appeared, what will you do?"

"Didi didi..."

The mysterious young man's voice just fell.

The next second, the command machine in Rukia's pocket also sounded.

"It's really...there is really an order!"

Rukia hurriedly took out the command machine from her pocket. When she saw the content on the phone screen clearly, she blurted out words of surprise.

"Where?"

"Right over there.

Seeing that Tony needed to ask Rukia about such a thing, the mysterious young man couldn't help but look disappointed.

Then he pointed to his right side and said.

"If you can't even figure out something like this, are you still considered a Shinigami?"

"Next, let me show you what the real spirit-removing technique is.

As the words fell, the star cross hanging on the wrist of the mysterious young man suddenly flashed a dazzling blue light, and then turned into a long bow.

Then the mysterious young man quickly opened his long bow and whispered softly.

"disease!"

As the sound fell, the mysterious young man released his grip on the bow string.

The next moment, an arrow of spirit light flew out from the long bow.

He made seven turns in mid-air and hit a Hollow hidden in the air at an extremely delicate angle of 4.4, killing it on the spot.

"The order...is gone!"

At the same time, Rukia, who was paying attention to the signal from the command machine, was surprised to find that the signal disappeared.

After seeing this scene in his eyes, Tony finally realized that the mysterious young man in front of him was not simple, and couldn't help but ask again.

"Who are you exactly?"

"Ishida Uryū, Quincy!"

After briefly introducing himself, Ishida Uryu slowly turned his head to look at Tony and said in a serious tone.

"I hate Shinigami so much!"

"What did you say?".

"Don't you understand this?"

Ishida Uryu stretched out his hand to touch his eyes and said bluntly.

"Tony Stark, I hate you very much!"

The next night, when the dinner party started.

Tony sat in his car, silently recalling what Ishida Uryū said to him, and frowned unhappily.

"Tony, we're here.

In the driver's seat, Happy Hogan, who was acting as the driver, parked the car at the gate of a grand dinner party, and then turned to remind Tony in the back seat.

"Oh, um."

Hearing Happy's reminder, Tony immediately came back to his senses, put aside the unpleasant memories of last night, and then looked out the window at the lively carnival crowd, with a smile subconsciously showing at the corner of his mouth.

Although I am very concerned about what Ishida Uryū said before leaving last night.

But leaving behind the work of Rukia and Shinigami for a long time and returning to the playboy life of the past still makes Tony feel very happy.

Even the usual opinions of shareholders on the board of directors became less important at this moment.

"As always, remember to wash the car for me, Happy."

"no problem."

Tony left a casual word, got out of the car and walked into the grand dinner scene. .
