The days that followed.
Duan Mu finally enjoyed some rare free time... No, rather than free time, it was more accurate to say that life had become peaceful.
Working between Rukongai and Seireitei, training at Kūkaku's dojo, and treating patients at the Comprehensive First Aid Station—this was basically Duan Mu's current life.
In his spare time, he would teach Habutae and the others techniques such as Zanpakuto, Kido, Hakuda, and Shunpo. He would also recruit students from the Soul Reaper Academy. However, as the older generation of students who knew Duan Mu graduated, the new students knew nothing about Yorozuya's services, so only a few came to study under him.

The only thing that left Duan Mu somewhat depressed was...
The experience points he obtained were simply too few.
Since he could only operate around the outskirts of Seireitei, he had no opportunity to obtain experience points from anyone besides people from the 2nd Division and Fourth Division. In particular, the High-ranking Officers and Lieutenant Captains mostly shopped in the Noble District rather than the Commercial Street.

The captain and Lieutenant Captain therefore had to remain on standby, so Hinamori Momo had also been absent from the monthly regular meeting.
