The marital problems of Kōga and Aozumi have touched many people's hearts. For the sake of his good apprentice, Chun applied for an extension of his teaching duties, but for some reason, it was not approved.
So Chun didn't meet his future apprentice's wife until August. The girl was very beautiful.
The Kuchiki Clan is renowned for its handsome men and beautiful women. As the daughter of the Kuchiki Clan, Aozumi's appearance can be compared to a female version of Byakuya, only with a slightly rounder face, almond-shaped eyes, and a similar aloof and cold demeanor to Byakuya, making her seem unapproachable at first glance.
"Master, you've finally arrived! What's going on here? What's wrong with this woman?"
How can you be so rude!?
These two children were right in front of Kōga was at his wits' end, clearly feeling bullied, while Miss Aozumi was incredibly arrogant and obviously didn't want to acknowledge Kōga.
"It's been six months," Chun said, calculating the days. "Have you two spoken privately?"
"Uh, no."
"Why talk to someone like this alone? Shimizu-san, you..."
Shimizu interrupted Miss Aozumi, asking, "You should say these things to your father. If you could do it, why come here?"
Aozumi was speechless, while Kōga chuckled beside her. Chun immediately glared at her, Kōga straightened up with a serious expression, which softened Aozumi's expression somewhat.
Jun then said, "Your fates were sealed the moment Captain Kuchiki made that decision, and no one can change it. You find it hard to accept, so now you have two choices: one, rebel; two, accept. Which do you choose?"
"Can you resist?!" Kōga's eyes lit up, but he was glared at fiercely by Miss Aozumi. Undeterred, Kōga glared back.
Miss Aozumi, not wanting to stoop to Kōga's level, elegantly asked, "Does Shimizu-san really have a way to resist?"
"Have"
Because Chun's answer was so decisive, both of them were excited and asked in unison, "What method?"
Chun ran her hand across his stomach. "Seppuku. Either of you dies, and this matter will be over."
Both of them felt a sudden pang of stomach pain, glanced at each other, and fell silent. Chun let out a cold snort.
"What? You think I'd give you a way to rebel against the head of the Kuchiki Clan without giving anything in return? You overestimate me. But if it were me, my current status wouldn't be incapable of it. But what are you two?"
Aozumi Cangpu's expression darkened slightly. Kōga didn't care about Chun's opinion, because Chun was his master.
"Miss, do you have anything to say in your rebuttal?"
"I belong to the Kuchiki Clan."
"Woman," Jun said directly, "You are merely a woman of the Kuchiki Clan, a woman to be used when necessary."
Miss Aozumi was about to get angry, but Chunque sealed the entire room with a single Kidō, and then said...
"This is my self-created Kidō. What you hear outside now is a quarrel, which is my doing. And what I'm about to tell you, you can spread if you're not afraid of death."
The two men's expressions turned serious, and the young lady's face began to look rather grim.
"It seems the young lady also knows something about your family. As a high-ranking noble family, many dark things are unavoidable. In fact, this time is no exception. If you have the means, go and check the records of your fiancé, my disciple Kōga Tatara, in the Soul Society's secret archives. The rating 'extremely dangerous' is something I've rarely seen."
"Extremely dangerous!? Master, are you talking about me?"
"Yes, it's you, your Zanpakuto. I asked Aizen-senpai to come and ask you this question before, and I'm asking you again now: Has anyone advised you against using your Zanpakuto?"
"So that's how it is! Many people do this, Master."
"I know you're not dangerous; whether a knife is dangerous or not depends on the person wielding it. But some people don't see it that way; they see the possibility. If your possibility is dangerous, then you're in danger. So how do you control that danger?"
Chun looked at Miss Aozumi, whose face was deathly pale. Chun gave a soft snort, "I suppose you've already figured it out, Miss."
Am I a victim?
"It depends on your choice. If you think your life is bad and you refuse to live with Kōga, but you are unwilling to rebel against your family, then you can force Kōga to his death. Under such circumstances, Kōga can also kill you first. In short, you must be prepared for this."
The two swallowed hard, and Chun continued...
"Then you can try to accept each other. One of you is a victim of your family's sacrifice to achieve a certain goal, and the other is someone who was sacrificed for that goal. If you are willing to resist, living happily is also a form of resistance, because your happiness will make many people uncomfortable."
The two exchanged a glance, then immediately looked away.
"That's all I wanted to say today. Now go back and think carefully about why there's been no progress after more than six months. Are you even adults? Do you even have any awareness of your current situation?! What have you been doing?! Do you think you can fight back in this kind of childish way?!"
"Nonsense! Completely disorganized! You think you're all grown up, but you're terribly childish! Kōga, I'm very disappointed in you!"
I'm so sorry, Master!
"Snort!"
Chun didn't reply, Kōga didn't dare to get up. At this moment, Chun used the Tenteikūra to say, "The situation in the Kidō is over. I was the one who gave the reprimand just now, and the people listening outside could hear it. I did scold you two. So, according to the situation, Miss, you'd better run out crying. If you're an adult, you should be able to do that."
With a gentle smile on her face, she spoke coldly, teaching the two children a lesson in reality. Hearing this, Miss Aozumi's eyes reddened, two tears fell, and she suddenly covered her face and ran out.
Kōga stared dumbfounded at his fiancée's masterful performance, then looked at his gentle-looking master, his expression quite fascinating.
"Kōga, I'm really disappointed in you."
"No, Master, I've never practiced this, and you never taught me!"
"That's talent."
"Master, you are the first person to describe hypocrisy as a talent. I have learned a lot."
"So do you know what you should be doing now?"
What should I do?
"Tsk~"
Kōga racked his brains, then suddenly stood up, shouted "I quit!", and stormed out. After taking a couple of steps, he realized he was heading in the same direction Miss Aozumi had run off in, so he kicked the floor hard, then changed direction and spat in the process.
Chun listened to all of this from her room, smiled with satisfaction, and leisurely sipped her tea.
After finishing the tea, Chun's expression turned Kongbu; his entire face turned black. He got up and chased after Kōga.
The next day, Kōga eagerly went to the girls' dormitory, waiting for the young lady to come out, her face bruised and swollen.
When Miss Aozumi came out of her dormitory and saw this scene, her originally stern face suddenly broke into a smile. Then, realizing it wasn't quite right, she suppressed her laughter. Kōga quickly clung to her, and the two of them, one looking at her with disdain and the other sticking close, walked all the way, whispering to each other.
How did you get beaten up like this?
"My master needs to perform for people, I think you should walk faster, you seem a little disgusted with me."
"Oh, if you cling to me even more, are you telling me to chase after me relentlessly, Shimizu-san?"
"Hey~ I didn't expect you to know so much. Give me a nudge."
I think your expression should be more indignant.
"Wow! Does it have to be this complicated? Can't we just finish already?"
What do you mean? You think I'm easy to get?
"Wow! You're angry already!? So we don't have to act anymore, huh?"
"If you don't like acting, then let's do it for real!"
"I was wrong, I was wrong. I was the one who suffered, okay? I've been living under surveillance ever since I went to your house."
"What about me? I still want to marry you!?"
"What the hell does that have to do with me?! That was your dad's decision! If you're so capable, why don't you commit suicide?! Why don't you rebel?!"
"You"
Tears suddenly welled up in the young lady's eyes. She stood there staring at Kōga eyes darted around. He knew he had said the wrong thing, but he couldn't apologize; he couldn't lose face.
Before Kōga could think of any way to remedy the situation, the young lady suddenly shoved Kōga, sending Kōga flying five or six meters away, where he rolled several times on the ground. Then, the young lady began to curse.
"Go to hell!!"
Xianghe's face turned pale after Kōga, and he walked around a few times before arriving at Chun's office.
"You lost."
"Master, how do you know so much? Why am I destined to fail?"
"Get this done first, then we'll talk."
Kōga's face darkened, and then he slapped himself repeatedly. It turned out the two had made a bet: whether or not he could get along well with the young lady. If he won, everything would be fine; if he lost, Kōga would slap himself to make himself look worse, rather than resorting to violence.
After the injection, Kōga had difficulty speaking; his face was completely swollen, and you could see the blood vessels on the skin.
"Master, can you tell me now? How do you know I can lose?"
"Why? Haha, because you're stupid. What does the outcome of our bet have to do with me? If you win, you go after women; if you lose, you beat yourself up. I don't suffer any harm. And you still bet with me on this?"
Kōga's expression was just as interesting as yesterday, while Chun continued...
"Aren't you stupid? Do you know why you hit yourself? You could have gone after women, but you refused. You knew you were going to lose and slap yourself, but instead you came back and hit yourself. In other words, in your heart, hitting yourself is better than chasing women. Do you have some kind of special hobby? If you like men, get out of here, understand?"
Kōga's face turned pale and then red.
Did you insult them? Did you use my words? Did you say they weren't strong enough to fight back?
Kōga looked at Chun with an expression that suggested he was a wise old man, and Chun snorted coldly.
"You think you're so tough? Go fight back!? You call women powerful! What have you done yourself!? Are you even a man! Now, pick up your sword, fight your way out of the Shin'ō Academy! Fight your way to the Sixth Division! Kill Kuchiki Ginrei! Then you'll be free, go!"
Kōga's face turned pale.
"Think about what you should be doing? Did I teach you to shift blame onto others when things go wrong? Have you considered what you should be responsible for? What you should be doing? What are the benefits? What are the downsides of your actions? What kind of reward will you get? Is this what you're thinking about taking responsibility West Wall? Humph!"
"Kōga, I'm very disappointed in you. This is the second time."
Kōga bowed deeply to Chun, then slapped himself several times before leaving.
For the next few days, Kōga followed Miss Cangpu like an Aozumi, going wherever she went, never fighting back or arguing, until one day he really angered her. She found a secluded spot and exploded, cursing...
Are you crazy?! Get out of here!
"This is my apology."
What are you apologizing for?
"What I said before was incredibly presumptuous. I said you wouldn't dare to resist, but actually, I wouldn't dare either. I dumped the responsibilities I should have borne onto you. I don't deserve to be a man, so I apologize."
"What do you mean?"
"We will definitely get married. No matter what we think, there's no going back on that. So now, I need to think about how to be a reliable man. Even if there's no love between us, I will take good care of you, and there can't be any problems, because I need to live! I can't let a forced marriage ruin my life! I still have so many things to do!"
"What do you mean by that!? Are you looking down on me!? Who needs your help!?"
"Then why don't you need me to take care of you?"
"I"
Don't worry, with me here, no one can hurt you.
With tears welling in her eyes, Aozumi said, "You're hurting me right now."
"I"
"Get out of here!"
Looking at the two from afar, Chun slapped her forehead. This apprentice is hopeless; he really doesn't understand women. Sigh... what a failure.
