Although the swimsuit clasp was fastened, Batsu'unsai Katori felt very uncomfortable. Breathing was difficult, and because it was too tight, her forehead was instantly covered in sweat.
"Sis, you look really pale! Are you okay?" Katori Chizuru asked with great concern.
"No... No problem." Batsu'unsai Katori tried hard to take a breath, and as a result, the swimsuit clasp on her back directly popped off!
Katori Chizuru looked bitter. How could this look like she was fine? Sister, stop forcing it, let's get a new one custom-made!
...
Early the next morning, Yamabuki was woken up by a knock on the door. Checking the time, it was only a little past four in the morning. Who could it be?
Opening the door, it was none other than Senjumaru Shutara.
"Big sister, what's wrong with you? Even if you're working overtime, you don't have to be this desperate. Let's talk about it in three hours, I'm going back to sleep." Yamabuki said listlessly.
"Don't sleep. I've thought of a way to make new shihakushō. Hurry and come with me." Senjumaru Shutara dragged Yamabuki to her laboratory.
Many fabrics were laid out here, so it seemed Senjumaru Shutara hadn't slept much all night.
"Look at this thread." Senjumaru Shutara handed over a thread. Yamabuki looked at it but couldn't find any difference between this thread and ordinary thread, looking bewildered.
"This thread is hollow. The inside is like a pipe, but usually, no one likes to use this kind of thread for making clothes. But shihakushō is different. The new shihakushō now most needs to improve its defense. I've found a way."
"shihakushō made with this thread can be infused with spiritual pressure. When all the threads are filled, this garment is equivalent to a suit of armor. How about it?" Senjumaru Shutara said very excitedly.
Yamabuki's originally drowsy expression became serious.
As expected of someone who would go to the Zero Squad in the future, her invention ability was top-notch.
"What about the cost?" Yamabuki asked.
"The cost is very low, and the manufacturing process is not difficult. As long as the technology is mature, this new shihakushō can be mass-produced. It's more than enough to equip several thousand people before the big war." Senjumaru Shutara said.
"Good, when will the finished product be ready?" Yamabuki's spirits lifted. Although Yamabuki didn't believe that one piece of shihakushō could change the tide of battle, having such a piece of defensive gear was always good.
"I can make the first one by daybreak. You must try it then." Senjumaru Shutara had already entered workaholic mode, and many mechanical arm-like hands appeared from behind her, quickly making the newest shihakushō.
Yamabuki was too bored staying there, so he propped his arm and slept for a while. When he opened his eyes again, it was already bright outside.
And Senjumaru Shutara next to him was preparing the final stage of the new shihakushō.
Finally, five minutes later, the new shihakushō was completely finished.
Senjumaru Shutara said very excitedly, "Try it on now and tell me how it feels?"
Yamabuki didn't stand on ceremony and directly put on the newest shihakushō. He slightly released his spiritual pressure, and he could clearly feel that the clothing seemed to merge with him.
"How is it?" Senjumaru Shutara asked with anticipation.
"Hmm... The craftsmanship is certainly not a problem, but I don't know about the defense. How about you try cutting me with a sword?" Yamabuki threw his Zanpakutō over, and Senjumaru Shutara was eager to try.
To avoid affecting the test results of the new shihakushō, Yamabuki voluntarily deactivated Blut Vene Anhaben and hardened skin, testing the strength of the shihakushō entirely with his flesh and blood.
Although Senjumaru Shutara didn't usually use a sword much, judging by her sword-wielding technique, she was also a master. Yamabuki took a deep breath to brace himself.
"Here I come!" Senjumaru Shutara stabbed at Yamabuki's left ribs.
According to Senjumaru Shutara's calculations, Yamabuki's spiritual pressure was far above hers, so he should be able to easily block her attack.
However...
The Zanpakutō directly pierced through Yamabuki's ribs without any obstruction!
"Pfft!" Yamabuki instantly spat out a mouthful of blood: "Big sister, are you playing with me! This shihakushō has no defense at all!"
Senjumaru Shutara was so scared that she quickly pulled out the sword.
"Don't pull it out..." Yamabuki cried out. Suddenly pulling out the sword would cause massive bleeding. It was too late to stop her. To prevent Senjumaru Shutara from stabbing the sword back in, Yamabuki quickly confiscated the Zanpakutō.
Fortunately, his self-healing ability was extremely strong, otherwise, he would definitely be gone after that strike.
Senjumaru Shutara looked curious, muttering to herself.
"That's not right! That's not right! According to my calculations, I shouldn't have been able to hurt you. Where did it go wrong?" Senjumaru Shutara looked serious: "How did you feel when you were stabbed?"
"It hurts."
"I wasn't asking how you feel, I was asking how the clothes feel?" Senjumaru Shutara asked.
"Big sis, how would I know how clothes feel? I'm a human, not clothes! Can you be more reliable!" Yamabuki complained.
Senjumaru Shutara inspected the tear in the clothes. It was a very clean cut, which meant these clothes were no different from ordinary clothes. Even with spiritual pressure infused, they were still cut by a sharp blade.
"Where exactly is the problem?" Senjumaru Shutara fell into deep thought. Theoretically, as long as the spiritual pressure was strong enough, an indestructible fortress could be built.
"I'll fix these clothes. Don't leave yet, and try it with me one more time!" Senjumaru Shutara reached out and grabbed Yamabuki, who was about to escape, and continued the experiment.
I, Senjumaru Shutara, am someone who doesn't believe in bad luck. I will definitely succeed in improving it.
Yamabuki looked at Senjumaru Shutara bitterly. He had already realized that the number of times he would be stabbed in the future would definitely increase. Although he would recover quickly after being injured, it would still hurt.
Senjumaru Shutara looked at Yamabuki.
"Are you ready? Release your spiritual pressure!" Senjumaru Shutara called out.
Yamabuki released his spiritual pressure to the maximum extent.
Senjumaru Shutara, without a word, stabbed him through, not only piercing Yamabuki but also pinning him directly to the wooden pillar behind him!
"That's not right! Where is the problem? I can't figure it out!" Senjumaru Shutara pondered deeply. Her theory had no issues at all, but why was there such a large deviation in practice?
"Big sis… don't worry about why there's such a big experimental deviation… first, get me down from this pillar!" Yamabuki said with a face full of despair.
