Chapter 32: Sword Contract!
"Young Master Satoshi, what is the name of this Zanpakutō?"
Shunichi's eyes sparkled with excitement. He was eager to know if the name of this Zanpakutō was still Cicada's Cry.
Satoshi paused for a moment before speaking in a deep voice.
"Its name is Suzumushi. It was forged using the characteristics of Cicada's Cry."
As he spoke, Satoshi tossed the Asauchi to Shunichi.
The moment Shunichi made contact with Suzumushi, a system notification sounded in Satoshi's mind.
[The system has detected that the host has lent his Zanpakutō to another person. The Borrowed Sword function has been activated!]
[Borrowed Sword Function 1: All Zanpakutō forged by the host belong solely to the host. When others use a Zanpakutō, they are merely borrowing it. The host can recall the Zanpakutō at any time, reverting it to its Asauchi state.]
[Borrowed Sword Function 2: While a borrower wields the Zanpakutō, they generate experience for the host as a rental fee.]
[Borrowed Sword Function 3: The borrower must gain the Zanpakutō's recognition to access its Shikai. If the borrower achieves Bankai, the system will randomly extract one of their skills and grant it to the host. (Each Zanpakutō can only provide one skill, and only from its first borrower.)]
[Borrowed Sword Function 4: The host can observe the outside world through the Zanpakutō's perspective and communicate with the borrower via the Zanpakutō's spirit.]
