Chapter 327: More album viewing

(Ryoto's pov)

Today was time for another album viewing. Last time, we stopped at my drunken adventure, so next was, of course, the Quincy meeting. There wasn't much to see there, although Rin and I needed to explain what Quincy is and how their powers work. There were also photos of Isamu and his accidents. Rito looked like he had found his long-lost brother, which was even funnier when I explained to him how I helped Isamu and his wife get together. I even had evidence for that.

But seeing young Isamu was nostalgic. I also showcased my Quincy cross on a necklace that I got from my friend. I unconsciously smiled when I was telling that story.

Later, nothing much was happening, so there were many normal-looking photos. There were also many pictures of Rin and my training and even our little tournament in the Study Chamber. Now, that was a trip down memory lane. I completely forgot that it happened, but memories just slammed into me when I saw the photos.

Then there was Bankai training, and when everyone saw my 'evil twin,' either they laughed nervously, made a joke at my expense, or, like in the case of our dear Rio, she thought that he looked cooler with a battle-hungry smile.

I needed to explain the Zanpakuto spirit, and what better way to do that than to show it? So, I did that.

Taking out Zangetsu, I brought him out with a thought.

While seeing him in photos and hearing the explanation about his existence is one thing, seeing Zangetsu appear in person is something completely different, and everyone's mouths went wide open.

"If you don't plan on catching flies, you should close your mouths." Zangetsu commented in a snarky way.

"It's..." Rito started

"...Creepy." and Mikan ended.

"It's nice to see you too, pipsqueak." Zangetsu wasn't one to let someone else have the last word.

"Ey!"

"So your sword spirit looks exactly like you, but it's black and white. Not very original, if you ask me." Karma commented with his easily recognizable smirk, but I found that what he said wasn't exactly correct, so I decided to correct him.

"It's not exactly 'sword spirit' as you have said. Zangetsu was born from my soul, is part of me, and is Zanpakuto's spirit, but at the same time, he is a separate entity. It's complicated, and I myself am not sure how it works fully, but that's a gist of it."

At least I wasn't strong enough just yet. We were at an impasse. If they made an enemy of me, they would regret it, and that was the same case for me, so we made an agreement. Today, they would be forced to bend the knee to me. Also, as I was answering Mikan's question, Yoruichi jumped on my lap, and I started petting her. She seemed tense but relaxed under my touch. It made me slightly suspicious as if whatever we were talking about affected the cat, so I used all my senses to feel my new cat again. However, no matter what I used, she seemed like an ordinary cat.

Maybe it's just my mood affecting her. I really should fix my paranoia soon.

It didn't take long for another controversial picture to appear.

""""WHAT!!!!!!!""""

Everyone scraped at the top of their lungs as they saw a photo of me holding three babies, their mothers in the background, lying in their beds.

"What?" I asked innocently, although I knew the source of their shock.

"Y-you... you are a father!!?" Kaede asked with wide eyes, and that was a question that everyone in the room.

"Yes. Proud father of five, in fact. Three different mothers and somehow the same birthday, just like triplets. Later on, I also adopted two additional children which doesn't make them any less of my children than the others. We should see their photos soon."

"Ryoto, how old they are right now?" Mikan again asked, which was a fair question.

"They are about 150 years old. Give or take a few decades. We don't count years that much in Soul Society. What are you curious about your nephews, Mikan-obaa-san~?"

I teased her, and it earned me a pillow to the face from my blushing younger sister.

After this revelation, we didn't look at any more photos since Rin and I were bombarded with questions about our children, and talking about them was very relaxing.
