          The teen was really going to push the matter, wasn’t he. No signs were apparent that he’d be slowing up pressing the exiled man to take the blame and responsibility over this one. But was he really still so naive. It sounded as though the substitute shinigami couldn’t see past the end of his nose, as some might say. There was so much more that had to be considered, a larger scope to things, insurmountably larger than just what he had to face and experience. And as fortune would have it, the former twelfth division captain was the one left to be the guiding hand over matters that others would have overlooked.

“You do know— that if you have any suggestion on how better to deflect eminent doom to Karakura Town while you and anyone else capable of the task are off elsewhere, I’m all ears~ Right, Kurosaki-san?”

          Karakuraizer was stroke of pure genius if the scientific engineer did say so himself! Who better to have protected the townsfolk from hollow attacks while Ichigo and co. were off and away on some more important mission. Surely, Kon, though a loud mouth who couldn’t keep a secret for the artificial life of him, was a perfect distraction stand-in.

His eye twitched in irritation. Of course he would try to make up an excuse as to why someone like Kon would be a suitable protector of the town. Not only that, but he had the most innocently snide way of speaking that the delinquent just wanted to punch a dent into where Kisuke’s nose was. Placing his hands on his hips, he leaned forward slightly in an even more offensively accusing posture.

     “Yeah, alright. Let’s put Kon aside and just think about Tatsuki and the others. What makes you think that they should be exposed to things like hollows then they’re just ordinary humans? Sure, they can see hollows, but that doesn’t mean that they should fight them. You know more than anyone that humans are a lot easier to kill than shinigami, so why even take that risk? If you’re so smart why didn’t you just go out there and fight them yourself?”

     The irritation was bubbling up to a breaking point now, but he wasn’t blowing it out of proportion this time. His concerns were valid, so naturally his protectiveness got the better of him.
