~ Next Bonus, 300!
--------------------------------------------------
Yoruichi learned about Nel’s past from Shin and understood her story. She wasn’t concerned.
Through Shin, she also learned about Nel’s true personality, so she wasn’t worried about her changing back.
"The thought of losing our adorable little Nel makes me a little sad," Yoruichi lamented. If little Nel was about to change back, she wouldn’t be able to tease her anymore. She wondered if the older Nel would be as cute.
’Well, she definitely won’t be cute, but she’ll be beautiful.’ Nel, once she returned to her original form, would be absolutely stunning.
"Go ahead and heal her."
Yoruichi looked at Shin, eager to see how he would heal Nel.
A mask was crucial for a Hollow. If it was shattered, the Hollow was not far from death.
Though Nel’s mask wasn’t completely broken, it had a large crack and was damaged around the edges.
"Don’t worry, Nel. You’ll be all better soon."
Shin placed his hand on Nel, and a warm Reiatsu enveloped her. Wrapped in the energy, Nel’s face showed a look of pure comfort.
"Shin-nii." Nel called out to him.
Just then, the scar on Nel’s face vanished, and her mask was completely restored.
Then, her form shifted, her small body elongating into that of a tall, striking woman. Her height was nearly on par with Shin’s, and a hint of cool elegance had replaced her childish innocence.
Her aura had also become terrifying. After all, she was once the 3rd Espada. To have reached that rank, she had to have possessed incredible power. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

Looking at Shin now, Nel’s voice was hesitant, a little uncertain, and her face held a hint of embarrassment.
"What’s wrong? Is it so hard to call me your brother now?" Shin asked her.
"No. You’ll always be my brother." Nel immediately shook her head and said with immense sincerity. In her heart, she would always see Shin as her brother.
"Good. And I’ll always see you as my sister," Shin said with a smile.
"By the way, are you planning on returning to Hueco Mundo now?"
Shin asked. Yoruichi, hearing his question, looked at Nel nervously. Honestly, she didn’t want to see Nel leave.
Even though the Nel before her was different, no longer the little girl she was, Yoruichi’s feelings for her wouldn’t change.
"Um, if I follow you to the Soul Society, will I cause you any trouble?"
Hearing Nel’s question, both Shin and Yoruichi knew what she had chosen. Nel had chosen to follow Shin to the Soul Society.
"You can rest assured about that. You won’t cause me any trouble. There’s nothing in this world that can cause me trouble."
Shin’s words sounded arrogant, but they were the truth. At least in the world of Bleach, no one could cause Shin any trouble. As for beings from other worlds, sorry, but no one who could threaten Shin existed.
Because Shin could copy anyone’s power at any time. Even against the strongest opponent, Shin could instantly replicate their power, at the very least reaching a stalemate.
"Then I’ll follow my brother to the Soul Society."
Nel had made her decision. However, she still had to make a trip back to Hueco Mundo in the future. Not to rejoin the Arrancar army—she had no desire to return to that—but for her two Fracciónes.
She wanted to go back and check on them. Life in Hueco Mundo must be difficult for them, and Nel wanted to help them in any way she could.
"Then let’s return to the Soul Society now."
Shin, with the now-healed Nel, casually returned to the Soul Society.
"Um, Shin-nii, shouldn’t you try to hide me a little?"
Before, when Nel hadn’t regained her memories, she was just a child and didn’t think about such things.
But now, she felt she should hide her identity to avoid causing Shin any trouble.
"No need to hide. Even if they find out, it won’t be a problem."
Shin shook his head. He wasn’t afraid of Nel’s identity being exposed. If he was, he wouldn’t have brought her to the Soul Society in the first place.
"If he says it’s fine, then you don’t have to worry, Nel," Yoruichi said.
"I bet even old man Yamamoto is too busy dealing with Arrancars in the Human World to bother with me right now," Shin said with a laugh.
Though Shin said that, Nel was still considerate. She didn’t want to cause Shin any unnecessary trouble.
So, for now, she planned to stay in the 2nd Division. As long as she didn’t go out, there shouldn’t be any problems. No one would know that an Arrancar was staying in the 2nd Division—as long as no one in the 2nd Division reported her.
Actually, Nel trusted them on this point. This wasn’t her first time in the 2nd Division. When she was still recovering, she had stayed there, and no one had shown her any ill will. The entire 2nd Division basically followed Shin’s orders.
Don’t be mistaken, even though Shin was no longer the captain of the 2nd Division, he could still manage it. The members of the 2nd Division all listened to his commands.
This was also because of Soi Fon. Soi Fon had decreed that all members of the 2nd Division must be respectful to Shin.
So, even though Shin had stepped down as captain long ago, many still recognized his authority. And then there was Shin’s strength, which had earned their respect.

"Well, what are you doing here?"
Shin asked upon arriving at his residence and seeing Shutara Senjumaru. He hadn’t expected to see her here.
"My, my. Am I not welcome here? If that’s the case, you’ll break my heart," Shutara Senjumaru said, feigning sadness.
Her gaze then shifted to Nel. An Arrancar had appeared here. Shutara gave Shin a deep look.
But she didn’t say anything. She already understood Shin and his personality. Saying anything would be useless and would only offend him.
Besides, she doubted a single Arrancar could pose any real threat to the Soul Society, especially one under Shin’s watch.
Though the Soul Society forbade fraternizing with Hollows, Shin’s power granted him certain privileges.
