Chapter 658 He's also very good at fighting.

Compared to Orihime's shyness, Keigo cheered up again at this moment.
“Girls…” He looked up, seemingly lost in thought, when suspicious blood began to flow from his nose.
Ichigo couldn't stand it anymore, so he rubbed his forehead and said, "It was made by Yuuko-sensei."
"What?! Yuuko-sensei's cooking?" Keigo pushed everyone aside, squatted down in front of the table, stared at the bento box as if it were a rare treasure, and looked up at Rukia to ask, "Can I have some?"
“I refuse.” Rukia reached out and took it.
What a joke!
This is such a small amount that it's not even enough for her to eat by herself!
"Tch." Qi Wu clicked his tongue listlessly, and said disparagingly, "It might taste terrible."
"Those female engineers generally don't know how to do housework."
Shui Se said calmly, "You change your mind so quickly, Qi Wu. Is this what they mean by love turning into hate?"
Ichigo, his eyes slanted upwards, said, "If you dared to say that to Ikuko-sensei's face, I might call you a warrior."
Although there's a high probability he'll die a horrible death.
Long Gui rested his index finger on his chin, raised his eyes slightly, and pondered, "I remember that Teacher Yu Zi's cooking skills are very good."
Qi Wu asked enviously, "What? You've eaten Long Gui?"
Ryuki sweated a little. "Well, because I've known Ichigo since I was little, and Ikuko-sensei lives on the same street as Ichigo. Also, Ikuko-sensei has been teaching us since elementary school, so back then... well, I think it was in middle school, I went to Ikuko-sensei's house a few times."
"I was fortunate enough to eat at Ms. Yuko's house a few times back then," Ryuki recalled. "Her cooking skills were amazing."
"And the housework is kept very clean."
Qi Wu clenched his fists, his face filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred: "Damn it! I'm so envious!"
"Starting from elementary school?"
Orihime discovered the blind spot.
“Yes, Ms. Yu started by teaching us in elementary school, and then she seems to have passed the middle school teacher qualification exam, and then high school,” Long Gui explained. “And before high school, Ms. Yu was responsible for teaching Chinese literature.”
As Ryuki spoke, Ichigo, who was standing next to him, became dejected.
Yeah, that was a truly tragic story...
"Damn it! To receive guidance from Ms. Yuuko from elementary school to high school, you two are truly enviable!" Keigo shook Ichigo's collar. "Damn it! That must have been a wonderful memory, right?"
Ichigo's face twitched twice.
Qi Wu said indignantly, "I'm so envious! I also want to be taught by Teacher Yu Zi forever!"
Shui Se said calmly, "You talk as if you're good at math."
"..."
While everyone was discussing, Rukia opened her bento box.
Oh, what a feast!
A balanced diet of meat and vegetables!
Roast pork, pork chops, broccoli, mini sausages...
Orihime came closer and said, "It looks really great!"
Rukia looked up at her, picked up a piece of roasted meat, and brought it to Orihime's lips.
"Aww..." Orihime swallowed it with satisfaction, her eyes shining. "So delicious!"
"Rukia-chan~ I want some too~" Keigo floated over the crowd and came to Rukia's side, closed his eyes and opened his mouth, looking like he was waiting to be fed.
Shui Se squeezed in expressionlessly, bent down, aimed at Qi Wu, and slowly opened her mouth.
Qi Wu seemed to sense the shadow above his head, opened his eyes, and saw clear saliva hanging from Shui Se's lips in front of his face.
"Ah!!!" Qi Wu's face turned pale, and he instinctively shouted out, then...
The drool, hanging in the air, hit the bullseye and went down the throat.
Shui Se turned and ran.
"Cough cough..." Qi Wu clutched his neck, his face flushed, and chased after Shu Se, yelling, "Stop right there! You bastard!"
Everyone: "..."
They're such a pair of clowns.
"It's so delicious, even though it's just ordinary grilled meat." Orihime licked her lips with lingering satisfaction, her eyes filled with longing. "Don't you think it's amazing? It seems like Yuuko-sensei can do everything."
Long Gui pondered for a moment and said, "Indeed, not only is he good-looking, but he's also a great cook, a doctor, and a teacher..."
Orihime blinked: "Medical skills?"
"Huh? Didn't I tell Orihime?" Tatsuki explained, "Teacher Yuuko used to be a doctor who ran a clinic, and she was quite famous in that area."
“My family sometimes goes to her for medical treatment.”
"Wow! That's amazing!"
This truly surprised everyone.
Ryuki looked at Ichigo with a questioning look: "It's been more than ten years, hasn't it? It should have been around the time we started elementary school that Yuuko started to change careers."
Ichigo wiped his face: "Yeah, that was around that time."
This marked the beginning of his bleak life.
"Oh no! She's practically the perfect girlfriend candidate!" Keigo, who had returned unnoticed, covered his nose. "Hey, Ichigo! Does Ikuko-sensei have a boyfriend?"
"Speaking of which, I saw the math teacher from the next class confessing his feelings to Ms. Yu Zi before."
"Huh?! Did it work?"
"No, I was rejected very decisively."
"Phew, there's still a chance."
"Someone as amazing as her, it seems like ordinary men would have a hard time being good enough for her."
Chad, who had been quietly listening to everyone's conversation, chimed in, nodding and saying, "Indeed, they're one of the best at fighting."
The kind of person who can single-handedly take down an entire gang.
"what?"
Rukia ate her delicious bento while listening to everyone discuss Ikuko.
I feel... I am quite respected.
It's hard to imagine that someone like Ms. Yuko would be expelled from Soul Society for committing a crime.
I wonder if there's any hidden story behind this.
Why did Ms. Yuko fight the Sage of Central 46?
……
The following Wednesday arrived quickly, and the abandoned hospital in Karakura Town was unusually crowded, bustling like a festival. There were television broadcast vans, staff, and enthusiastic fans.
"If I'd known it was Wednesday, I would have just refused," Yuko sighed as Masaki pulled her through the crowd. "I still have lesson preparation for tomorrow!"
"Don't say things that will ruin the mood," Masaki said with a smile, pulling Yuuko along. "Hurry up, or we won't get a good spot."
Yu Zi sighed: "Where do these comedians get so many fans?"
"Or have people become so abstract that I no longer recognize them?"
On the other side, Rukia and Ichigo were walking together.
Yuuko and Karin followed beside Kurosaki Isshin.
The two squeezed into the crowd, just as Kurosaki Isshin also squeezed in with his child and waved to them from the opposite side.
Yu Zi suddenly said, "Speaking of which, it seems like Youzi and Xia Li are a bit more attached to their dad?"
Masaki gave herself a thumbs up: "Yeah, but Ichigo's really clingy to me~"
“…What’s there to be proud of?” Yuko’s lips twitched slightly. “Generally speaking, girls tend to be more attached to their fathers, while boys are the opposite.”
"Is that right?"
"right."
“Eh~” Masaki drawled, “I didn’t expect Yuko to be so knowledgeable, even though she doesn’t have any children.”
Yu Zi spread her hands: "This is called 'even if you've never eaten pork, you should at least have seen a pig run.'"
She glanced around and sensed many of the students in the class.
Don't these guys have class tomorrow?
Are people obsessed with following celebrities?
If anyone dares to sleep in her class tomorrow, she'll go on a killing spree.
At that moment, seemingly sensing the crowd around the hospital, a bound spirit, its entire body restrained by chains, appeared at the hospital entrance.
"Oh!! This hospital is mine! Nobody can take it away from me!"
Yuko opened her mouth: "Wow, there really are ghosts."
Hearing this, Masaki looked around curiously: "Where? Where is the ghost?"
Yuko was silent for a moment, then pulled Masaki up: "Forget it, let's leave. I have a bad feeling."
"Huh? But everyone's still here..."
Yuko waved her hand: "It's alright, Ichigo will protect everyone."
The void in the ghost's chest hadn't even fully opened yet; it wasn't a threat at all.
Before the two could even squeeze out of the crowd, the roar of propellers suddenly came from the sky.
Everyone looked up and saw a figure descending from the sky in a helicopter, opening a parachute mid-air, and landing towards the hospital entrance accompanied by a comical sign sound.
"Are celebrities these days really working this hard to make money?" Yu Zi's eyelids twitched. "Absolutely."
"Wa hahaha……"
The crowd on the ground also started crossing their arms and laughing.
Yuko turned to Masaki, who was also striking a pose, speechless, and remarked, "Is this some kind of cult ritual?"
"It's less like a fan gathering and more like a cult meeting."
"Don't go, Yuuko! Watch how the spirit medium exorcises spirits." Masaki grabbed Yuuko's hand and squeezed back in.
"You know best how to exorcise a spirit, don't you?!"
Despite her complaints, Yuko couldn't bear to refuse and was dragged in by Masaki.
Since she couldn't leave anyway and had to watch this comedian's performance, Yu Zi simply glanced at him to see if he had any real talent or was just putting on a show.
“Hey~” Yu Zi drawled, “It actually has quite a bit of spiritual power.”
"You can actually see ghosts."
Masaki blinked: "Really? So you really are a real spirit medium, right?!"
"No... how should I put it..." Yu Zi wiped her face and said dejectedly, "I feel like most of it is just a lie."
At least that little bit of spiritual power is no match for a Void, not even the lowest level one.
And ghosts...aren't those things harmless?
The earthbound spirit was yelling that no one was allowed to take over his hospital, while the people around him were just blindly chasing after their idol.
Exorcising spirits? There are no ghosts at all. Is it really that exciting?
Yes, there really is.
The father and daughter across the street were beaming with joy.
Just as Yu Zi was muttering that she would have to stay up all night preparing lessons, the audience screamed again.
Yuko frowned slightly but ignored her.
"Hey! The exorcism has started!" Masaki grabbed her hand and started shaking it, looking like a fangirl chasing after a celebrity.
Yuko stared blankly ahead, then her expression instantly changed, and she pulled Masaki along as they walked away.
"Huh? What's wrong, Yuuko?"
"Ahhhhh!!"
At that moment, a scream suddenly rang out.
Even Masaki, who had lost her spiritual power, faintly heard it, and her expression immediately became serious.
"Yuko, what was that just now?"
Yuko's lips twitched: "Yeah, that idiot medium stuck his cane into the ghost's void."
Even if you don't know, you can tell from looking at that kind of thing that it's very dangerous, okay?
That idiot uncle.
Masaki raised her hand with a serious expression and corrected, "That's a demon-slaying staff."
"I don't care what it is, as long as things don't get complicated..."
"Stop, stop!"
Yuko could no longer see the light. "Ah, the protagonist has made a dazzling appearance."
"Huh?" Masaki looked over and saw that Ichigo, who had rushed forward to stop Kannonji, had already been pinned down by security personnel.
Yuko didn't want to pay attention, but suddenly she sensed a familiar presence.
"Hmm? This aura..."
Yuko looked over the crowd and saw Kisuke Urahara, wearing that familiar green outfit, knock Ichigo's spirit out with a cane.
"It hurts."
Ichigo, whose soul had left his body, covered the back of his head and looked behind him.
"Who?"
Kisuke Urahara, holding a cane in one hand and a fan in the other, waved it around: "A merchant."
"Urahara, what are you doing here?" Rukia frowned slightly. "You don't have some ulterior motive, do you?"
"Oh, please! I didn't mean any harm," Kisuke Urahara said sweetly, making the whole scene sound beautiful.
However, this beautiful scene lasted less than three seconds before it was shattered by a delicate hand.
A fair hand landed on Kisuke Urahara's shoulder out of nowhere.
"You bastard, you were ordering me around without any courtesy before, weren't you?"
Yu Zi's cold voice rang out from behind.
Kisuke Urahara froze on the spot, quickly saying, "I mean it! These two kids really like this show, so..."
Before he could finish speaking, Yu Zi dragged him away.
Ichigo was completely taken aback: "What's going on..."
"Ichigo! There's no time!" Rukia pointed at the spirit that was already on the verge of agitation.
In the chaos, Tessai Tsukabishi snatched Ichigo's body from a group of security personnel.
And on the other side.
"Ha, ha, I'll pay you." Kisuke Urahara laughed.
"I'm a little curious, Rukia shouldn't know who we are, right?" Yuko asked directly, "Why does she act like she knows you so well?"
"And he also bought and sold her all sorts of props."
"Well, because I told her that I was dispatched to Karakura Town by the Seireitei, specifically to assist the Shinigami."
"...Are you kidding me? She believed it?"
“There’s no reason not to believe her, is there?” Kisuke Urahara shrugged. “After all, I didn’t lie to her.”
"Ok?"
Kisuke Urahara covered his face with his fan: "Ikuko doesn't think I haven't done anything all these years, does she?"
"Didn't I tell you? I have a path in Soul Society."
"Those props are all genuine products from the 12th Division."
Yuko muttered expressionlessly, "We're doomed, Seireitei."
"It looks like a fight has broken out. Aren't we going to go check it out?" Kisuke Urahara tried to get Ikuko away.
"What's so interesting about those small, scrawny fish?"
"Why don't I dig your brain out and see what else is hidden inside?"
"I rely on this face to make a living! Please don't!"
"Who cares about your dignity?!"
