Chapter 435: 435 Bleach Epilogue 1: Returning to the Human World, Allen's New Brother-in-Law, Unearthing Abadaya Rambo and A Harem Reunion.
The Senkaimon, (The Gateway to the Society of Souls) opened in the park where Allen fought Byakuya. It was a good spot since it was rarely visited, so there was no issue appearing there. While the Shinigami were invisible, Allen, Chad, and Orihime were not.
Once back in the human world, there was an odd air about it, as if everything that had happened was just a dream.
The first stop was taking Orihime back home. To save time, Allen asked everyone to wait for a minute.
"Allen-kun?!"
Allen picked Orihime up in his arms and disappeared with her. He quickly arrived at her house, only to see Tatsuki worriedly standing at the entrance.
She frowned as soon as she saw Allen. "Are you Allen?"
The face was the same, but the changes were noticeable; from his hair and eye color to the faint aura emanating from him.
"What do you think?" Allen smiled.
Tatsuki blushed. "I see you're in a rebellious phase..."
Allen was stunned as the girls around them laughed.
"Tatsuki-chan!~" Orihime ignored the atmosphere, jumping to hug Tatsuki enthusiastically. "You know, so much happened, and I have to tell you everything!"
Seeing Orihime's excitement, Allen hesitated for a moment. Tatsuki also had the potential to delve into the spiritual world, but she had stayed away from it throughout most of the original story.
Was it okay to tell her about this world?
"What is it, Hime? Are you going to tell me you went to the afterlife?"
"...?" Allen's eyes widened when he heard that.
Tatsuki laughed and looked at him with amusement. "Hime told me everything before you left. I didn't believe her, but seeing you appear out of nowhere leaves me no choice but to believe it."
Allen remained silent. Perhaps he'd been a little careless bringing Orihime back home.
"It's true," Allen gave a half smile. "What do you think?"
Tatsuki lightly tapped Orihime's arm, signaling her to let go, then walked toward Allen slowly with a provocative look in her eyes.
"I think it's very unfair~" She placed her finger on Allen's chest and slowly moved it upward. "Mr. Walker, I need a good and thorough explanation of the facts~"
Allen didn't flinch and grabbed Tatsuki's hand, surprising her. "Fine, but you'll have to wait. I have things to do first..."
Tatsuki was caught off guard by Allen's boldness, as he had maintained a gentlemanly distance until now.
"Ah~"
Orihime interrupted by stepping between them, making Allen let go of Tatsuki's hand. This surprised everyone—even the innocent Orihime was stunned by her own actions. It was the first time she had shown jealousy.
Allen made a half-evil smirk and roughly patted Orihime's head. "Well, since when did sweet, obedient Hime become so rebellious?"
"Ah! I'm sorry, Allen-kun~"
...
Back with the group, Sado Yasutora—Chad, as Allen called him—declined the offer to be carried home by Allen.
"See you, Allen."
"Thanks. I really didn't want to involve you in this dangerous world."
"Don't worry. I did it of my own free will. Next time, don't hesitate to call me."
Chad left after those words, dignified as always.
...
Allen looked at the remaining people. By now, Byakuya and Hitsugaya Toshiro should have recovered. However, Allen was now the number one enemy of the Gotei 13, and he wouldn't be surprised if they attacked him directly.
When they arrived at his house, two rows of Shinigami were already waiting, led by Kuchiki Byakuya and Hitsugaya Toshiro.
"Nii-sama..."
Rukia trembled, unable to look at her brother. However, Allen placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder and smiled. "Leave it to me." She was touched and nodded.
Allen stepped forward.
"Allen Walker..." Byakuya began. "You showed mercy to my subordinates, and I personally allowed you to rescue my sister... So, in part, your actions are my responsibility, but I am a captain of the Gotei 13..."
Allen blinked before smiling in amusement. "I know, Nii-san(Hermano). You don't need to hold back the next time we meet."
"What?! You! You!!" Rukia yelled from behind Allen, turning red like a boiled shrimp.
"I see..." Byakuya closed his eyes briefly before reopening them. "I was concerned about why you went so far for my sister and whether I could entrust you with Rukia's safety after bringing her back... So that's the reason, If Rukia agrees, I can't stop her."
"Wait, Nii-sama, it's not like that! It's not like that!!"
Rukia desperately tried to clarify that she didn't have that kind of relationship with Allen, but Hitsugaya interrupted.
"Allen Walker, we are aware of what happened, thanks to Kurotsuchi Mayuri..."
Allen wasn't surprised by this news. He had decided not to sever all ties with the Seireitei. To achieve this, he sought out the most unconventional captain who could accept a mutually beneficial relationship with him. Of course, there were Kyoraku and Ukitake, but they had a teacher-student relationship with Yamamoto. Allen didn't want to put those captains in a difficult position.
The better choice was Kurotsuchi Mayuri, a man who valued the pursuit of the unknown, innovation, and surpassing his own understanding above all else. To Mayuri, Allen was an endless source of unimaginable treasures. Mayuri agreed to heal the former captains without using them as experimental subjects, as he initially planned, and maintained a cordial relationship with Allen; though not an alliance.
With Mayuri, Allen had a bridge to prevent the situation from escalating into a war for extermination on both sides.
"I owe you the lives of my subordinates and my own," Hitsugaya said through gritted teeth before relaxing. "You also showed mercy while invading the Seireitei. Letting you go knowing that is a stain on my honor as a Gotei 13 captain that will never fade... but disregarding that debt would make me unworthy as a person... But next time, we'll be enemies!"
"Yes, sir."
"Tsk" With those words, Hitsugaya vanished along with his division.
Byakuya glanced at Rukia, his eyes showing a mix of relief, peace, and reassurance. As the head of a noble family and a man of strict rules and tradition, he couldn't openly support Rukia. But in doing so Byakuya felt he was betraying his wife, who had asked him on her deathbed to care for Rukia.
Rukia bit her lip, holding back tears. She wanted to kneel, as everything had been her fault.
Byakuya wasn't angry or looking at her with disdain, which was a relief. At least Rukia could console herself knowing he didn't hate her.
"Bya-kun, are you going to leave without saying a word to Rukia-chan?"
Yoruichi interrupted, noticing Byakuya's intent to leave. He frowned at her but met her serious gaze.
"You might regret it someday..."
Byakuya remained silent for a moment before turning to Rukia.
"I'm glad you're safe. I don't know what the future holds, but I still consider you my younger sister."
"Nii-sama! Thank you! Thank you for everything, and I'm sorry for the trouble I've caused!"
Rukia ran to hug Byakuya. While his reserved personality kept him from returning the hug, a trace of nostalgia flickered in his eyes.
"Don't apologize for following your heart, Rukia... Hisana... your sister was ill, but she insisted on searching for you in the Rukongai. I didn't dare to stop her, even knowing it was harming her. If I had, I would have hurt something more important than her body—her heart. Hisana died with a smile on her face. Despite her short life, it was one she loved... and she had no regrets. I only hope you live your life without regrets."
"Yes... I will, Nii-sama," Rukia nodded, wiping away her tears.
Byakuya nodded back and looked at Allen before leaving. He didn't need to say anything for Allen to understand that he was asking him to take care of her.
Byakuya signaled his division to disappear, but he seemed to remember something and turned to Allen.
"By the way, do you know where my lieutenant is?"
"Ah..." Allen paused before chuckling. "That's a funny story..."
...
In a remote mountain untouched by people, animals thrived in peace. Birds, insects, foxes, and rabbits lived undisturbed, far from hunters, as the area was protected.
However, there was one spot where the earth was disturbed, and human footprints disrupted the greenery around it.
Beneath half a ton of soil, a desperate man yelled.
"AHHHHH LET ME OUT!!"
It was Kuchiki Byakuya's lieutenant, Abarai Renji, who had been defeated and imprisoned by Allen and Nanao.
This miserable man had been bound with a special rope designed to restrain spirits, which Allen had purchased from the system. In addition, his Reiatsu had been sealed by Allen. With this, he couldn't escape. The original plan had been to buy time for them to come up with something, but due to Rukia's abduction, Allen completely forgot about Renji, leaving him buried for days.
Renji was a man of great willpower, and it was difficult to imagine him being intimidated, but there was a strange feeling that he would never be freed. That thought froze his blood and filled him with panic. Over time, even someone like him fell into despair.
"ANYONE, HELP ME!"
His face was pale, and he was sweating coldly. Given that Ise Nanao, the lieutenant of Captain Kyoraku, was involved, Renji thought it might be a joke or there was some kind of explanation. But when he remembered Allen's cold gaze, he felt fear. It was a gaze that showed he didn't care whether Renji lived or died.
Normally, Allen wasn't this cruel, but at that moment, he was being affected by Lenalee, so he wasn't kind to his former love rival.
Outside the tomb, Allen stood with Byakuya.
"He's there..."
"..." Byakuya stared at the tomb without changing his expression.
"He's still alive... probably," Allen shrugged, "The guy tried to kill me, I wasn't going to be kind."
"I understand... get him out," Byakuya ordered, and the shinigami by his side began to move.
Ten minutes later, Renji was unearthed before the astonished eyes of the members of his division.
"Captain, I'm glad to see you!" Renji almost cried, but his expression turned dark, filled with resentment, "It's him! He's the one who did this to me, Captain, be careful!"
Allen remained expressionless in the face of the accusations.
"This bastard is a cruel and merciless monster."
Allen smiled with irony and indignation, "Is that how you talk to your captain's brother-in-law?"
"Huh?! What nonsense are you saying? You want me to kill you?!"
"Calm down, Renji... let's go..."
Byakuya's response stunned Renji, who looked at his captain in disbelief.
"Captain, what this bastard said..."
"Let's go, Renji..."
Without wasting more time, Byakuya's division jumped into the air and opened the Senkaimon. Byakuya turned to Allen, gave him a nod, and then left.
"See you, Abajakura Rambo," Allen mocked, then disappeared as well.
"..." Renji was left stunned...
---
Back at the mansion, the girls had already relaxed in the large living room of the house. Allen asked the system to clean the house, just in case there was some rare enchantment or device that the shinigami had forgotten, but the system found nothing out of the ordinary.
Unohana observed the place with interest and then looked at Allen's clothes, which consisted only of a rolled-up shirt, a vest, and black pants. It was a very nice house for someone who usually dressed so modestly.
Allen raised an eyebrow, "If you want, I can make it more oriental."
Unohana laughed, "Don't worry, when I decided to follow you, I accepted being with you through thick and thin, whether in a mansion or under a bridge... I'll be with you~"
Allen took a step forward and hugged Unohana; it was inevitable... this lovely woman knew how to please a man.
*Cough*
Rukia quickly interrupted, feeling that things might get dangerous.
Allen looked at his group: Rukia, Isane, and Unohana were still wearing their Shihakusho, while Yoruichi wore her usual attire of a yellow hoodie and black pants. Angelica felt uncomfortable and changed into a white dress.
Allen's eyes widened when he noticed that. Even though he had decided to call her Angelica, as she was a beautiful blonde girl, we were talking about the first King of humanity.
Wearing a dress?
Seeing that Allen had been stunned, she smiled, but it wasn't her arrogant smile—it was a beautiful one, one she had learned to make after seeing all the women Allen interacted with.
"Hehe, are you finally paying attention to me?~" This would be the first time she acted provocatively and seductively, but as a woman who was born to be "perfect" in relative terms, she had an easy time dominating anything she set her mind to, including, of course, femininity.
"This is a clear provocation to my charm as a woman~," Yoruichi said with a proud smile, crossing her arms and lifting her chest with pride.
"Tsk..."
There are things you can learn and imitate, but body proportions are different. However, Angelica, far from feeling oppressed, smiled disdainfully.
"Perfection is based on balance. 'Big' is fine, but too big is unnecessary."
"Is that how you justify the size of your chest?~"
Several golden circles began to appear around Angelica, as Yoruichi surrounded herself with golden Reiatsu.
"No fighting in my house..." Allen said in a calm and serious tone.
Rukia and Isane sighed in relief at that. Unohana remained silent, smiling while enjoying being hugged.
Both women stopped fighting, and Allen took the opportunity to provide them with his own version of a gigai, created by the system. This was a replica of a human body, much more faithful to the human form due to the use of fragments in its creation.
"Oh, I'm sure Sosuke will be interested in investigating this, hehe?"
Allen didn't react as she expected to her comment. He still had his doubts about Aizen, since we were talking about Aizen, and maybe everything he said was a lie or part of some plan.
"Yoruichi, what's your relationship with Aizen?"
"Hm? Well, I got involved in some things and was exiled from the Seireitei. He was also exiled, and I ended up working in his shop..."
Yoruichi's relationship with Aizen wasn't as close as Urahara's and Yoruichi's in the canon, as it began the day they were exiled. Before that, everything had been more normal, with Yoruichi being friends with Urahara.
"I see..."
Yoruichi smiled and pressed her body against Allen, smiling playfully and slyly, "Don't tell me you're jealous~ you're such a greedy guy—having so many women and still wanting me?~"
Allen didn't allow himself to be mocked and took Yoruichi by the waist, "I've seen and touched every part of your body. Naturally, I desire your heart."
Yoruichi had forgotten that Allen, at this moment, could not be provoked, and she received a bold response that made her tremble and feel embarrassed in front of the girls.
"That was when I was your pet!" Yoruichi wanted to correct herself when she saw Unohana laughing.
Allen grabbed her chin and made her look at him, "Wait, does that mean you won't be my pet anymore?"
Yoruichi blushed; yes, that shameless woman who wasn't afraid to walk around naked was now embarrassed.
"I hope you're willing to take responsibility for sullying my name~"
As said before, she could be shameless in many ways, but she was also someone from a noble family, so she respected certain traditions.
"Oh, should I marry you?" Allen kissed her without giving her time to react, then looked at her seriously, "All right, but I also have my conditions. If you marry me, your days of exhibitionism are over."
Yoruichi, stunned, didn't know how to respond. Isane had fainted—this level of coquettishness or shamelessness was too much for her. Rukia was both embarrassed and annoyed. Angelica was impatient, and Unohana seemed lost in thought.
At that moment, the bathroom door opened, and Rangiku stepped out, wearing a bathrobe that barely covered her body. She walked to the kitchen and opened the fridge to grab a can of iced tea.
"Fuu~ It's not like an Onsen, but a hot bath is always nice~ huh?" Rangiku froze when she saw Allen had returned.
At that moment, someone came down from the second floor wearing loose pajamas. These pajamas were men's, which was strange since Allen had provided Nanao with clothes, as she was originally supposed to stay with him for several days.
The stairs and living room were separated by a wall that led to the kitchen, so Nanao didn't see Allen.
She looked at Rangiku, whose bathrobe barely covered her chest, and got upset. She walked over to her and scolded her.
"Matsumoto-san, even if access to this place is prohibited, don't forget we're surrounded by men. Have some decency..."
Rangiku pointed to the living room while smiling awkwardly. Nanao looked at the living room, adjusting her glasses, and then froze.
She felt a wave of embarrassment as she remembered what she was wearing.
"Welcome," said Nanao to Allen.
"We're back," Allen chuckled but didn't comment on Nanao's clothes.
---
Once the girls put on their Gigai and wouldn't be affected by the human world anymore, Allen gathered them in the living room to discuss something important.
Unohana sat on the large sofa next to Rukia and Isane, with a serious but calm expression. She didn't care what Allen was about to say—it wouldn't change her decision.
Angelica remained unchanged as she sat on an individual sofa opposite Allen's. Yoruichi hugged Allen from behind, and Nanao and Rangiku stood as though they were being punished.
Allen wanted to ask why Rangiku hadn't gone with Hitsugaya, but he didn't.
"Now, I think I should explain many things..."
It was impossible to hide his true origin any longer, and it would be very strange if he went away for some time without saying anything.

A/N: That time has come where Allen has to tell them he's not from that world 👀
