Bleach Swordsman of Kusajishi

t all.
But something bothered him because Suzuki Kusu was not that fast, yet she always managed to dodge the attack in the nick of time for some reason! 

The Hollow then witnessed something that blew its mind.
Suzuki Kusu sidestepped before its attack landed right where she stood earlier.
It kept happening.
Suzuki Kusu always evaded before the Hollow’s attack landed right where she previously stood as if she predicted the attack in advance.

“I see, so that’s how it is.
I have seen enough of your abilities, Shinigami! Now drop dead!”

“bam!”

Suzuki Kusu was sent flying by the Hollow’s punch, hitting the tree, and spurted out a mouthful of blood.

Even though Suzuki Kusu predicted the Hollow’s attack, she wasn’t fast enough to dodge it.
As she expected, the difference between them was too much.

“You may be able to scratch me if you’re stronger, Shinigami.
Your ability is pretty good, but it’s pointless because you’re too weak.”

“Come to think of it, I haven’t asked your name yet.
Then again, there’s no need to ask for the name of a weakling like you.
Now die, Shinigami!”

The Hollow raised its hand, ready to pierce Suzuki Kusu’s head.

She lamented her own fate for unable to make it out alive even after swallowing her pride and used the power she didn’t want to use.

Suzuki Kusu’s eyes were full of despair and regret as she watched the Hollow raised its hand.

Had she used this power from the very beginning, maybe…

Suzuki Kusu regretted everything as she realized her life was coming to an end.
She was wondering that she might be able to see this Hollow coming, and everyone, including Morikawa Nomi, didn’t have to die had she used this power from the very beginning.
She may not be lying while waiting for her death either now had she used it from the beginning 

“I wanted to pierce you with my claw, but on second thought, using this may be a good change of pace.

Suzuki Kusu’s eyes widened when she saw the red sphere condensing on the tip of the Hollow’s finger.
It’s Cero!! A move that only Menos Grande could use.
The Hollow in front of her turned out to be a Menos Grande!!

Realizing that the Hollow in front of him was the legendary Menos Grande, Suzuki Kusu suddenly got a lot calmer.
If the enemy was a Menos Grande, there was no point in using her power.
Even if she predicted this Hollow was coming and ran away, she and her comrades would die anyway in the end.
She felt less guilty now, knowing that she and her comrades were up against a Menos Grande. 

It’s just… I can’t see you anymore, Captain Kimura.
I really want to see you again at least one last time, Captain Kimura!

Suzuki Kusu recalled Muyang’s face as he watched Cero was gradually concentrated in front of her eyes.

“Die! Cero!!!”

“Bakudō #81.
Dankū!”

“bang!”

As the Cero was fired from the Hollow’s fingertip, a chanting mixed in, followed by a transparent barrier that materialized in front of Suzuki Kusu, blocking the Cero.

This voice is…

Suzuki Kusu flushed, and her eyes were filled with immeasureable joy as she happily turned toward the person who appeared behind her.

“Captain !!”

“Sorry, I am late.”

Suzuki Kusu was indeed safe from the Cero, but if Muyang was even a second late, Suzuki Kusu would’ve died.
Since Suzuki Kusu was the only one there, and the enemy could use Cero, that meant…

“9th Seat Suzuki, where are the rest?”

“The rest is…” Hearing Kimura Muyang’s question, the smile on Suzuki Kusu’s face was replaced by a sad and glazy one.

Seeing the look on Suzuki Kusu’s face, it finally hit Muyang.

“Everyone else’s already dead.”

really!

There was a trace of sorrow in Kimura Muyang’s eyes.
He did foresee this situation, but he just couldn’t endure the pain when Suzuki Kusu said it directly to him.
There were dozens of members in this operation.
Meaning there haven’t been this many casualties since he became 10th Division’s Captain.

“I got it.
Now, leave the rest to me!” Kimura Muyang’s voice was full of murderous intent.
