Compared with the 2nd Division, the Fourth Division's barracks were much more secluded, with few buildings nearby.
Led by Isane, Duan Mu walked for about half an hour before arriving at a three-story building whose architectural style differed from the surrounding structures. Its walls were white, its roof had eaves, and a surrounding wall stood around it.
Entering through the entrance marked "Comprehensive First Aid Station," they found lush woods and gardens lining both sides of the path, giving off a faintly warm feeling beneath the moonlight.
According to Isane, the rear of the Comprehensive First Aid Station connected to the Fourth Division's barracks. However, since it was already late, it was not convenient to show Duan Mu around there.
"This is the Comprehensive First Aid Station overseen by our Fourth Division. It is mainly responsible for emergency treatment and routine medical care for members of the Thirteen Court Guard Squads."
"Routine medical care?"
"Mm."
Kotetsu Isane nodded. "Although humans become spiritual beings and come to Soul Society after death, that does not mean they will never fall ill again. Spiritual beings are actually much like humans in the Human World. They feel cold during harsh winters and catch colds from the wind; they feel hot during scorching summers and suffer heatstroke."
"Of course, these minor ailments are not much of a problem. Once someone's spiritual pressure reaches a certain level, they can completely avoid such illnesses, so they are not very common... Well, I cannot exactly say they are uncommon. The captain of the division my younger sister belongs to catches colds quite often."
"But among the patients who come to our Fourth Division for treatment, the most common condition is actually Spiritual Power stagnation."
"Spiritual Power stagnation?"
Duan Mu was not surprised that spiritual beings could catch colds.
