Chapter 1: A Second Time

You're not going to let me go any farther, huh?

Sorry, I'm in a rush. I'll be to forcing my way through!

Oh! So in this Spirit Society, I'm a tengu?

That's right!

The Rukia in that world wears a white kimono and has wings and a horn.

Wings and a horn? The book I read described tengu as having red faces and long noses.

Other than that, it looked just like you. It's probably a lot different than your book.

There was also someone who looked just like Gin Ichimaru. Except he was a fox spirit with ears and a tail.

And that other Rukia also had an older brother and mentioned something about Chappy.

Chappy and my brother are there as well? I'd love to see them.

I'm sure my brother looks beautiful and noble no matter what his form is.

Oh, the other Rukia said the same thing. I didn't see him though, so I wouldn't know.

Fool! Why didn't you go see him?!

It's not like we were there for sightseeing!

What is happening?!

The breaker must've failed because of that lightning just now. Let me go check on it.

What just happened?! Why is my room outside?!

It's not your room! It's my room!

Wh-What's going on?!

Hey, Ichigo. Doesn't this place seem super familiar?

Yeah, you think so too?

Now what?!

Watch out! Get out of the way!

I-I thought they would hit us for sure.

Watch where you're going!

Sorry, my servant caused you trouble because I was in a hurry.

S-Servant? You mean, this wild boar?

Her name's Bonnie. Isn't she cute?

I don't know about that, but I kinda get the feeling I've seen her somewhere before.

Oh? Do you know Ganju or Kukaku by any chance?

Ganju?! Are you...

Ganju is my younger brother. I'm Kaien Shiba, head of the Shiba Clan. Nice to meet you.

Kaien...Shiba?!
