"I miscalculated..."
Inside the Third Division captain's office, Tenkai Shusuke sat at his desk, biting his fingernail.
Tenkai knew that the disappearance of the Kasumiōji Clan's head had been orchestrated by Steward Yun.
He had been delighted that they had managed to send three captains out of the Seireitei at once.

"But after returning to the Seireitei, he seems to have come into contact with certain people and undergone changes I know nothing about."
"You must have noticed it too, right? The members carrying out missions with Kifune
