"Oh, Captain Wang Tuchuan, you're here?!"
"I'm terribly sorry, forgive me! I didn't see you at all just now..."
After Wang Tuchuan ran over to Araki and the others, Araki looked surprised. He patted Wang Tuchuan on the shoulder and spoke with a cheerful smile.
So he hadn't seen me just now?! No wonder he didn't call my name! Wang Tuchuan smiled upon hearing that and replied to Araki, "It's fine. I came to tell you that I agree to become your personal guard."
"Is that so? Great."
Araki merely smiled at Wang Tuchuan, then said nothing more.
Watching this unfold, the other captains silently thought, Poor Wang Tuchuan. Stop fooling yourself. You were being excluded...
Before long, the 11th Division members who had gone to the Forest of Menos returned with results.
"Captain, we brought back the Gillian corpse!"
One by one, the burly 11th Division members carried an enormous Gillian corpse toward Araki.
"Mm~"
Araki lightly nodded at the massive corpse, then pointed toward the hot spring pool.
"Understood!"
The division members immediately understood and tossed the corpse into the pool.
"Gurglegurgle..."
In less than fifteen minutes, rings of water began bubbling out of the hot spring pool. As for the Gillian's corpse, it had already vanished without a trace.
"What is this?!"
The captains all revealed shocked expressions at the sight.
"Wouldn't you all like to go in and try it?"
Araki then invited everyone to test the spring water for themselves.
"Mm..."
The captains exchanged glances before entering the hot spring pool at nearly the same time.
"What?!"
Once they experienced the hot spring's effects, their expressions filled with shock once more.
"This hot spring can relieve fatigue, treat lingering ailments, and heal injuries! Incredible! Its effects are even better than Kirinjii's healing hot spring..."
