Araki: Come, Slash Me Head-On!

"W-well..."

"It's not like I heard you got hurt fighting that bad woman Unohana and got worried about you!"

"I was just especially concerned about your health, so I came all this way to check on you..."

After hearing Araki's words, Saito Furofushi turned slightly sideways, doing her best not to face him directly!

It seemed that Saito Furofushi did not dare meet Araki's eyes right now. She appeared deeply afraid that she might reveal something she should not reveal to him...

Saito Furofushi stood slightly turned away, fiddling with a lock of purple hair that had somehow fallen before her chest as she bashfully spoke to Araki.

"Eh?! She's practically a different person from before..."

"Hey, hey, hey! You weren't nearly this gentle with us earlier!"

"She's way too easy to read! Her thoughts are written all over her face."

"Seriously, she might as well paste the words 'I like him' on her forehead!"

The battered and bruised members of the Gotei 13, 11th Division looked at Saito Furofushi, who seemed like a completely different person from before, and inwardly complained.

"Um, well..."

"Since I've seen that you're not dead yet, I'll be leaving first."

Saito Furofushi looked Araki over from head to toe. Once she confirmed he was unharmed, she sighed in relief while inwardly cursing that dark-skinned bastard who had fed her false intelligence, then prepared to leave.

"So we got beaten up for nothing?"

The members of the 11th Division lying flat on their backs twitched at Saito Furofushi's words. So she had really come just to see Araki!

They had thought Saito Furofushi had heard of Captain Unohana's defeat and come specifically to mock her. Apparently, that was not the case...

"Since you're here, stay a little longer!"

"As it happens, I was planning to look for you too..."

Naturally, Araki would not let Saito Furofushi leave just like that. He waved a hand, stopping the little white mouse who was about to depart, and spoke with a smile.

"Hm? Y-you were planning to look for me too?"

At Araki's words, Saito Furofushi's light-purple twin tails immediately bounced up and down.

Just as the 11th Division members had said, Saito Furofushi simply could not hide her feelings!

"Yes. There's something right now that only you can help me with."

Araki answered Saito Furofushi honestly.

"Only I can help you..."

Saito Furofushi's pupils trembled slightly at that.

"Ahem..." Saito Furofushi coughed lightly, then said to Araki, "Since you're asking me so sincerely, it's not like I can't consider helping you."

"Let's go~"

Araki had no intention of wasting words with Saito Furofushi. They were old friends, after all. Every tsundere remark Saito Furofushi made was automatically translated into plain speech in Araki's mind.

So, Araki directly lifted Saito Furofushi off the ground and headed straight for the Swordsmanship Dojo in the 11th Division Barracks.

"H-hey, wait! Put me down, I can walk..."

Saito Furofushi's pretty face immediately became a little unnatural as she shouted at Araki. Of course, she only protested with her mouth. Though she said no, her body was honest, and she did not resist Araki at all.

As Araki and Saito Furofushi departed one after the other, the vast space before the 11th Division Captain's Office was left with only the stunned members of the Gotei 13, 11th Division.

After a while, the members of the Gotei 13, 11th Division finally could not hold it in any longer.

They cursed Araki at the empty air in hushed voices, as faint as the buzzing of mosquito wings. "Why the hell does he get to do this? He flirts with Captain Unohana, and now he's so close to Captain Saito too..."

"And from the looks of it, Captain Saito obviously likes our Captain Araki! Captain Araki is a total scumbag!"

"Damn it! Isn't our new captain just a little better-looking than us, a little stronger and better-connected than us, and a little smarter and more emotionally intelligent than us?!" Another member complained. "Why is he so ridiculously popular with women? Was messing with Unohana, our former 11th Division captain, not enough for him? Does he plan to go after Captain Katori of the 8th Division too?!"

"Shh! Stop talking before you jinx it! The Seireitei may be huge, and the Gotei 13 may be powerful, but there are only three female captains in total..."

"Especially now that Captain Unohana has lost to Captain Araki! There are only two female captains left in the Gotei 13, and Captain Saito already has such an unclear relationship with our new Captain Araki! And you still dare curse Captain Katori?!"

Compared to Unohana, the Murderous Demon who was decisive in killing and knew nothing of love, and Saito Furofushi, the ultimate foul-mouthed tsundere...

Generous and accepting of all, gentle, considerate, and incomparably virtuous compared with Saito Furofushi and Unohana Yachiru...

Captain Katori Bakuunsai of the 8th Division, a busty, expressionless beauty, was simply the white moonlight in the hearts of every male member of the Gotei 13~

If even Captain Katori were won over by Captain Araki, then forget the members of the Gotei 13, 11th Division—even members of the other divisions would have to call Araki, "Soul Society's number one devoted lover! The founding ancestor of Seireitei scumbags!"

Meanwhile, at the Swordsmanship Dojo of the 11th Division Barracks.

Araki flung Saito Furofushi, whom he had been carrying over his shoulder, onto the opposite side.

"Hm?!"

Saito Furofushi was still completely dazed. She had imagined many possibilities, but she had never expected Araki to bring her to the Swordsmanship Dojo.

"Come, draw the Zanpakuto at your waist and slash me head-on!"

Araki curled a finger at Saito Furofushi, signaling for her to attack him.

"Huh?!"

Saito Furofushi froze. Once again, Araki's words had caught her off guard.

"I don't know what you're trying to do, but since you told me to draw my blade, don't expect me to hold back."

Saito Furofushi forcefully shook her head, scattering all the wild thoughts in her mind.

Then Saito Furofushi gently drew the Zanpakuto at her waist. The instant she gripped the blade, she seemed to become a different person, killing intent overflowing from her! Every member of the First Generation Gotei 13 had been born to kill—those were not empty words...

Second update!
