Little White Enters the Scene (Part One)
After escaping from the Captain's Office, Liu Ziyun ran all the way back to his post. He leaned against the wall, panting heavily, his heart pounding, the terrifying scene replaying in his mind.
[Ugh, this is so difficult...] he lamented inwardly, [It's so easy for other people to transmigrate and build a harem, why is it like a death sentence for me? I've only managed to fool two people, and before I could even win them over, it's already a chaotic mess!]
He slumped into the chair, staring blankly at the ceiling. After a long while, a silly grin suddenly appeared on his face.
[Wait a minute... if they said that, does it mean they agreed? So, is this a warning to me, to prevent me from hooking up with other girls?]
The more he thought about it, the more sense it made, and the silly grin on his face grew brighter and brighter, even taking on a slightly lewd tone.
[Hehe... Oh, I see...]
Just as he was immersed in his beautiful fantasy, a clear, cold voice suddenly rang in his ear:
"Liu Ziyun, Fifth Seat, what filthy things are you thinking about, laughing so slyly?"
Liu Ziyun suddenly came to his senses and saw that Isane Kotetsu was standing in front of him, arms crossed, looking at him with disgust.
He immediately sprang up from his chair, a fawning smile plastered on his face—his expression changing as fast as a Sichuan opera face-changing act, "Oh, Isane's here! I wasn't thinking about anything, I was just thinking about our wonderful future together, that's why I'm smiling so happily!"
Isane Kotetsu looked at his shameless appearance, feeling both amused and annoyed. She kept a straight face and said in a businesslike tone, "Stop daydreaming! We have no future with you!"
She walked up to Liu Ziyun and slammed a list on his desk. "Have you finished your work? Stop daydreaming! Also, I have some people here who need training. Go and teach them your Barrier- Kaidō technique! If you can't, I'll report to the captain that you're not suitable to be the Fifth Seat and have him remove you from your post!"
After saying that, she snorted coldly, turned around and left. Her back was straight and firm, and the hem of her skirt drew a beautiful arc in the air.
Liu Ziyun watched her figure disappear through the door, then looked down at the list in his hand and sighed helplessly: [Why is she angry? Sigh, she's even started making things difficult for me... Her jealousy has boiled over, how do I appease her? I need help urgently...]
He shook his head, picked up the list, and began searching for the people on it.
[Sigh, forget it, I'd better just get back to work. Don't make this girl angry again.]
And so, Liu Ziyun began living the "harem" life he had always dreamed of in the Fourth Division.
But reality was completely different from what he had imagined.
Every day, he was constantly being directed by Retsu Unohana and Isane Kotetsu —one minute he was treating a wounded soldier, the next he was organizing medical documents, then he was teaching the Barrier Kaidō, then he was assisting the other team members. He was like a spinning top that never stopped, being whipped around by the two women.
Every time he tried to say something romantic, he'd be abruptly interrupted before he could even utter a word—"Shut up, get to work!" Every time he tried to get closer and flirt, he'd be kicked away with a look of disgust—"Stay away from me, you stinky man!"
The most terrifying thing was that every few days, Retsu Unohana would drag him to practice "Zanjutsu." Each time they finished practicing, his legs would be covered in wounds, and he would walk with a limp.
[This isn't a harem...] Liu Ziyun wailed inwardly, [This is clearly hell!]
But he dared not complain and could only silently endure it all. Because whenever he wanted to give up, the eyes of those two women would rekindle his hope—in those eyes, there was disdain, there was anger, but also a trace of tenderness that was hard to detect.
[Just hang in there...] he encouraged himself. [One day, they'll accept me.]
On this day, Liu Ziyun was busy in the Medical Room Isane Kotetsu suddenly appeared at the door.
"Liu Ziyun, Fifth Seat," her voice was as businesslike as ever, "Come with me to the Captain's Office. The captain wants to see you."
Liu Ziyun instinctively shuddered, nearly dropping the document in his hand. He looked up at Isane Kotetsu pitifully. "Isane, what does the captain want with me? If this continues, I might not be able to protect your future happiness..."
Isane Kotetsu's face flushed instantly. She glared at him, her eyes filled with shyness and annoyance. "What nonsense are you talking about! Come with me right now!"
After saying that, she led the way as if fleeing, her steps so fast she almost flew.
Liu Ziyun watched her flustered figure, a silly smile creeping onto his lips, and quickly followed after her.
Captain's Office.
Retsu Unohana sat upright at the tea table, holding a cup of hot tea in her hands. When she saw the two of them enter, she put down her teacup and her gaze fell on Liu Ziyun.
"Captain," Liu Ziyun asked cautiously, "Is there something you need that you called me here in such a hurry today?"
Retsu Unohana didn't answer immediately, but gestured for the two to sit down. Once they were seated, she slowly spoke, "Rangiku brought back a genius from Rukongai named Tōshirō Hitsugaya. He's now in the Tenth Division. Will this person... affect what you're talking about?"
Liu Ziyun paused for a moment, then a knowing smile appeared on his face, "Oh, Tōshirō! The future captain of the Tenth Division."
He started listing them off on his fingers. "His Shikai is Hyōrinmaru, Bankai is Daiguren Hyōrinmaru Zanpakuto Soul Society. He's also the childhood friend of Momo Hinamori the Fifth Division."
He waved his hand. "Don't worry, it won't have any impact."
Retsu Unohana nodded, a hint of interest flashing in her eyes. "You seem to know quite a bit. So, what are your plans for him?"
Liu Ziyun: "He can train more. Because he's too young, he can't fully display the power of his Zanpakuto. In the future, after he's fully unleashed, he'll grow from a child into an adult, and he'll be quite handsome."
Upon hearing this, Isane Kotetsu's eyes lit up. "He's quite handsome! It seems we can train him well."
Liu Ziyun's face darkened. He turned to look at her, his eyes filled with wariness. "What do you want? Are you trying to seduce a young girl?"
Isane Kotetsu's face flushed instantly, and just as she was about to retort, Retsu Unohana spoke up quietly, "Then wouldn't I be considered an old cow eating young grass?"
Liu Ziyun broke out in a cold sweat instantly. He opened his mouth, about to explain, when Isane Kotetsu interrupted, "Don't you also want to be an old cow eating young grass?"
Then, Retsu Unohana and Isane Kotetsu stared intently at him. Their gazes were like two sharp swords piercing his heart.
