NOVEL WEB Chapter 27: Shinto Family
The location of the Ise family is not in Seireitei, but in Rukongai.
The existence of Seireitei is actually not many years old. At that time, a towering wall was built with murderous stones to encircle the central area of Soul Society in order to separate Shinigami from ordinary souls.
After the establishment of Seireitei, many nobles also moved into it.
However, some families did not choose to move into Seireitei, but still lived in Rukongai.
The Ise family is one of them.
The Ise family is an extremely ancient Shinto family.
In terms of status, it can also be regarded as a noble family.
It is even a very special family.
However, this family has a small number of people.
They have been women for generations, and because they have always chosen to recruit men as their wives, Among them, there has never been a case of marrying out, so this family is extremely mysterious.
The elder sister-in-law of Kyoraku Shunsui chose to marry far away to the Kyoraku family. It can be said that she broke the tradition of this family and was a strange woman.
Unfortunately, even if she married into the Kyoraku family and left the Ise family, the curse still hung over her like a shadow.
Kyoraku Shunsui's eldest brother died like all the men who married into the Ise family in the past.
She also had to be sent back to her natal family because of the aristocratic tradition.
Arima left Seireitei with Kyoraku Shunsui, and then used Shunpo to walk a long distance in Rukongai before arriving at the Ise family.
Seireitei is already very large. For a soul without spiritual power or understanding of Shunpo, it would take dozens of days to walk around. Compared to Soul Society, the area occupied by Seireitei is only a very small part of it.
Rukongai is the area where most souls in the Soul Society live. It is divided into four major areas: south, east, north and west. Each area has eighty districts from one to eighty, totaling 320 districts.
Although the Ise family did not choose to come to Seireitei, the area they live in is at the forefront of Rukongai.
After all, the area behind Rukongai is too simple, both in terms of the resources needed for life and the folk customs.
The Ise family is located in a large place with an extremely ancient style. From a distance, it looks more like a shrine than a family.
Considering the understanding of the Ise family, such an architectural style is not surprising.
Under the leadership of Kyoraku Shunsui, Arima stepped into the Ise family.
There are few people in the family.
Soon, a gentle-looking woman came to Kyoraku Shunsui.
The woman's appearance is not absolutely beautiful, but she is very delicate and gentle. She stands there quietly, giving people a sense of tranquility and tranquility, which can make people feel relaxed involuntarily.
No wonder Kyoraku Shunsui, who had a bad relationship with his brother back then, repaired the relationship with his brother because of the other party.
Judging from the appearance, he is indeed a gentle person.
"Sister-in-law."
After seeing the woman, Kyoraku Shunsui's expression was a little complicated.
If possible, he would like his sister-in-law to stay at Kyoraku's house.
However, due to the tradition of the aristocracy, he could only reluctantly send his sister-in-law back to her parents' home.
Although Kyoraku Shunsui was born into a noble family, to be fair, he actually doesn't like the rules of the noble family, but as the superior noble of the Kyoraku family, he has to abide by them.
Even when faced with the darkness among many nobles, he could only choose to turn a blind eye and have no way to change it.
"Shunsui, I haven't seen you for a long time. How come you have time to come to my place?" Kyoraku Shunsui's sister-in-law, a woman named Ise Isuzu, asked gently towards the man in front of her.
Kyoraku Shunsui smiled and said: "Although my sister-in-law has left the Kyoraku family, I can still come to visit her, right?"
Ise Isuzu nodded slightly.
In front of his sister-in-law, whom he always respected, Kyoraku Shunsui had no intention of hiding anything. After the greetings, his smile faded and his expression was serious.
"Besides, there is one more thing."
Ise Isuzu looked at Kyoraku Shunsui's serious expression. She was also aware of the clues in it, and her expression became serious, "What's the matter?"
"It's related to the curse of the Ise family!"
Hearing the word 'curse', Ise Isuzu's eyes immediately became focused.
She glanced at a boulder not far away, then looked away, and said to Kyoraku Shunsui: "Let's change places to chat."
Kyoraku Shunsui nodded and also called Arima next to him to go with him.
Arima left here with Kyoraku Shunsui and Ise Oriun. Before leaving here, Arima glanced at the boulder not far away. Through his spiritual sense, he could sense that there was a small figure hidden behind the stone. .
As expected, that should be Ise Nanao when she was a child.
Thoughts flickered in the sky.
Finally, we arrived at the reception room of the Ise family.
Ise Isuzu poured a cup of tea for each of Kyoraku Shunsui and Arima.
Kyoraku Shunsui did not go to drink tea, but introduced to Ise Isuzu: "I forgot to tell my sister-in-law, this is senior Arima, he is a very reliable senior."
"He was very interested in the curse of the Ise family, so I brought him here."
After hearing Kyoraku Shunsui's words, Ise Isuzu couldn't help but take a deep look at Arima.
She doesn't know who Arima is.
But she believed Kyoraku Shunsui. If Kyoraku Shunsui said Arima was reliable, so he must be reliable.
I didn't expect that Arima, who looked so young, was actually Kyoraku Shunsui's senior.
After his thoughts flickered, Ise Isuzu's tone also became a little complicated, "Is it a family curse?"
"It would be great if it could really be lifted."
Once upon a time, she also wanted to lift the family curse.
Therefore, he chose to marry the Kyoraku family and left the Ise family.
She thought that as long as she left the Ise family and didn't recruit men into the family like in the past, the men would not die young. However, she found that all this was in vain.
This curse follows her like a shadow.
After her husband died and she was sent back to the Ise family, she felt sad, but she was more worried about her daughter Nanao.
If the curse is not lifted, sooner or later it will extend to Nanao.
So over the years, she herself has been trying to break the Ise family's curse, or at least figure out what the curse is.
By today, she almost had the answer.
But she hasn't figured out how to break the curse yet.
Unexpectedly, Shunsui came here first and brought someone who was suspected of being able to break the curse.
