"Ah..."
"Yes, thank you for your concern, Lady Lamperd. My body has fully recovered."
Liltotto looked down at Beltz, then suddenly jumped down from the floor above, landing right in front of him.
—!
Beltz was startled and instinctively took a step back.
Liltotto looked at Beltz suspiciously, even leaning in closer to sniff the scent on him.
"The scent on you... seems a bit strange."
Beltz' pupils dilated. Is this person a dog? How is her nose so sharp?
Actually... it shouldn't be like that, right?
Although he and Liltotto were classmates, they hadn't had much interaction since graduation years ago.
Liltotto definitely knew who he was, but how could she remember even his scent?
But as a glutton, it seemed normal for her to have a sharp nose?
"Why are you so afraid?"
Liltotto frowned slightly. "It's not like I'm going to eat you."
I'm actually quite afraid you'll eat me!
In the manga, this girl's ability is literally eating people. How could Beltz not be afraid?
The main thing was that a Sternritter wouldn't face any punishment for killing someone of the fodder class!
In the Wandenreich, the upper ranks had absolute dominance over the lower ranks!
—Emperor of the Wandenreich
—Schutzstaffel
—Sternritter
—Soldat
And then there were the ordinary Quincy soldiers.
If you were to go even lower, there were others.
After all, even in a nation where everyone is a soldier, not everyone can be on active duty.
Soldiers like Beltz were still stronger than most ordinary Quincy civilians who lacked combat abilities.
These people were mainly engaged in the empire's production and labor.
Although they were in the shadows, they had prepared well when they entered, so there were lands for cultivation and crops. After all, even spiritual bodies couldn't go without eating.
Ordinary spiritual bodies didn't need to eat, but they still needed to drink water.
The more powerful a Spirit Body was, the more it resembled a normal human, not only eating and drinking but also possessing cells, neurons, and other organs that a living person should have.
"Hey, Lil! Why did you jump down all of a sudden?!"
While Beltz was wondering what to say, the other women who were with Liltotto also came over.
"Wow, a handsome guy. Lil, you can't learn bad habits from Bambi and Candice."
The petite young... boy with cockroach-like hair, Giselle Gewelle, looked at Liltotto and teased with a smile.
"What? Giselle! You actually compared me to Bambi!"
Candice, who had a hot body and side-parted grass-green medium-length hair, looked at Giselle angrily upon hearing this.
Meanwhile, a cross-shaped vein popped on Bambi's head as she roared, "You guys are so noisy!"
Among them, Bambi had a bad habit of calling handsome guys to her room whenever she got angry, doing who-knows-what to them before killing them.
Candice, on the other hand, was very friendly toward handsome subordinates.
The others didn't usually interact with handsome guys, so Lil suddenly stopping Beltz made the others feel curious and excited.
Could there be some gossip to hear?
Does Lil actually like this type of handsome guy?
"It's you guys who are noisy," Liltotto said expressionlessly. "Beltz was in my class; we trained together under that guy Gremmy Thoumeaux."
"Oh~ So you were in the same class~"
"Shut up, you bunch of gossips," Liltotto cursed again, hearing their sarcastic voices.
"Uh..."
Surrounded by the famous Bambies, Beltz couldn't help but swallow hard.
These women looked dangerous no matter how you looked at them.
"Forget it, you can go."
With her companions making a fuss, Liltotto clearly lost interest in questioning Beltz and waved him away.
Beltz was relieved.
"Yes, I'll take my leave now."
Seeing him leave as if running for his life, Bambi couldn't help but mock, "Lil, it seems your little boyfriend can't quite handle you."
"You think everyone is like you?" Liltotto glanced at her and said, "Bitch."
"Tch..." Being called a bitch by Liltotto didn't bother Bambi much. She just added, "I think he's quite handsome and fits my taste. If you're not interested, then I'll take him to my room~"
"You should really change that nasty habit of yours," Candice snorted, crossing her arms.
Although he had already left, he could still hear the voices of those women, making Beltz break into a cold sweat.
He already knew what was going on.
It must be because he ate the Azure Dragon Fruit!
That Liltotto girl must have caught the scent of the Azure Dragon on him!
She really is a top-tier glutton!
Of course, the world of Bleach itself doesn't have such a thing as the Azure Dragon Fruit. It was indeed possible for Liltotto to suddenly smell an unfamiliar scent on him.
This wasn't just related to Liltotto's ability, but also to her own power of observation.
After all, to be the leader of a small group, it's normal for her senses to be sharp.
Luckily she didn't press the matter, otherwise he really wouldn't have known what to say on short notice.
Fortunately, nothing went wrong during the rest of the patrol, which made Beltz breathe a sigh of relief.
After handing over his duties to a colleague, he went home.
He originally wanted to try entering the hybrid form of the Azure Dragon Fruit, but on second thought, using this ability in a place like the Wandenreich was a bit dangerous.
Liltotto had already noticed something unusual about him. If he entered the hybrid form, his Reiatsu might be detected by others.
This was different from the One Piece World.
In the One Piece World, he was free, but in the Wandenreich, it was like being locked in a cage, subject to various constraints.
So, he decided to practice the basic abilities of a Quincy instead.
Considering that after going to the One Piece World, he would mainly use the Reishi within his body, he didn't really need the Quincy's spirit particle collection.
He mainly needed to guide external Reishi into his body.
In the Human World, it's difficult for a Quincy to absorb Reishi.
But in the Soul Society, in an environment with such a high concentration of Reishi, it's practically a paradise for Quincies. That's why they could develop to a level far exceeding the Shinigami over a thousand years.
Since his talent wasn't great, he would make up for it with hard work.
Maybe he could even eat an "Effort-Effort Fruit" and become an "Effort Man," becoming stronger by working two thousand times harder than other Quincies!
He sat cross-legged on the ground, his mind once again recalling the battle at God Valley.
Although it was only for a short two or three hours, Beltz had benefited immensely.
