Fifth Seat Soul Ability: 'Fireball Jutsu'

Eighth Seat Soul Ability: 'Appearance Boost'

'Appearance Boost: Enhances one's own appearance.'

Tenth Seat Soul Ability: 'Painfully Happy'

'Painfully Happy: Feels joy even when stimulated by pain.'

These are the abilities possessed by the people in the Fifth Division. It can be said that many abilities are very useful, while some are quite useless.

Useful ones include Destruction Death Ray and Fireball Jutsu, while useless ones include Sleep When You Want...

So it's not that the stronger you are, the more powerful your Soul Ability will be. This purely depends on your personal traits and the comprehensive future characteristics they generate.

Furthermore, there's another matter. After his strength improved, Gaoyu discovered that he too possessed a Soul Ability.

His own Soul Ability is 'Safe House'.

'Safe House: Designate a house as your Safe House. The Safe House is indestructible, immune to all damage, and within the Safe House, one is immune to all prying eyes.'

Damn, knowing I lack a sense of security, my Soul Ability gave me a Safe House. Excellent, excellent.

Since this is his own Soul Ability, Gaoyu naturally obtained it permanently.

He planned to designate his home as the Safe House, so he could avoid being spied on by others.

These past few days have been nerve-wracking for him, mainly because he knew the Seireitei was a huge sieve, and anyone could peek in!

Not to mention Sosuke Aizen next to him.

The Quincy hidden in the shadows of Seireitei can monitor Seireitei.

Kenpachi Asao, hiding in Hell, can monitor Seireitei.

Monk of the Eye, staying in the sky, can monitor Seireitei.

The Tsunayashiro Clan, one of the Five Noble Clans, can also monitor Seireitei through the Projection Hall.

That pervert Mayuri Kurotsuchi from the Twelfth Division might also be monitoring Seireitei.

This place is a complete sieve!

Although most of these people look down on him, just knowing he's under surveillance is enough to drive someone crazy.

Gaoyu didn't want his every move to be monitored by others.

This Safe House doesn't mean others can't monitor him at all, but rather it generates false images. Others who see them won't think anything is wrong, assuming he's just doing normal things.

In reality, he might be doing something bad.

Gaoyu was quite satisfied with this ability. Although it didn't make him instantly invincible, it was still a very powerful functional ability.

At the same time, because he was promoted to Ninth Seat today, Gaoyu's work also changed.

Lieutenants have their own offices in the Division, and they can also be assigned a house. Not far from the Fifth Division Barracks, there's a 'Lieutenant Street'.

Even though Gaoyu already owned a house, he was still assigned a nice one.

His salary also increased; his monthly income went from two hundred thousand to three hundred thousand.

He no longer had to go out on patrol every day. He only needed to conduct routine patrols once a week, spending the rest of his time in his office handling official duties.

Of course, if there were missions, Lieutenants still had to lead their teams out.

When evening came, Gaoyu led the Division members to a tavern. Half of the Lieutenants also came; the rest were busy with official duties or couldn't make it.

Even Sosuke Aizen and Gin Ichimaru came, which made the Division members feel flattered and a bit uncomfortable.

Although Aizen was a 'kind' person, he was still their superior, and drinking with a superior always felt a bit unnatural.

Fortunately, Aizen only stayed for a while before leaving. Although Gin Ichimaru remained, it immediately eased the tension for everyone.

Gaoyu was drinking with several Lieutenants, having a great time, when Rangiku walked in from outside.

Upon seeing Gaoyu, she happily greeted him.

"Yo, Gaoyu!"

Gaoyu, who was in high spirits, jolted upon hearing the voice.

"Miss Rangiku?! What are you doing here?!"

"What do you mean, 'What am I doing here?'" Rangiku walked over and looked at Gaoyu. "Of course, I'm here to drink. I just happened to run into you."

"Huh? Gin, you're here too?"

She saw Gin Ichimaru sitting to the side.

Yes, Aizen was gone, but Gin Ichimaru had not left.

Gin Ichimaru was also a little surprised. He seemed not to have expected Gaoyu and Rangiku to know each other.

"You know Vice-Captain Ichimaru?"

Gaoyu said with 'surprise,' "You know so many people."

"Naturally!" Rangiku laughed heartily. "Is your division holding some kind of event today? There are so many people from the Fifth Division drinking here."

"Gaoyu-kun has been promoted to Ninth Seat, so he decided to treat everyone to drinks," Gin Ichimaru said with a smile, his eyes narrowed. "Rangiku, would you like to join us?"

"There's such a good thing?!" Rangiku exclaimed in surprise. "Hey, that's more like it! Look at our division, no one is like Gaoyu. Maybe I should just join your Fifth Division!"

"Captain Shiba wouldn't let me off the hook for that," Gaoyu said with a wry smile.

"Who cares about him," Rangiku pouted, then very casually sat down at their table.

With Rangiku's addition, their table drank even more heartily. After all, having a woman suddenly join a table of drinking men naturally made the men more excited.

Especially since Rangiku wasn't some shy little girl; she was open and could keep up, so no one had to particularly consider her gender.

Actually, the Fifth Division did have female Lieutenants, but she wasn't here because she was on a mission.

Not long after Rangiku arrived, Gin Ichimaru left. He wasn't someone who enjoyed drinking much to begin with.

Gaoyu noticed that as Gin Ichimaru left, although Rangiku didn't say anything, she was somewhat disappointed deep down.

After all, she must be confused now. They were friends who grew up together in Rukongai, but one day, after Gin suddenly decided to become a Shinigami, everything changed.

Gin Ichimaru became more and more mysterious, and she could no longer figure out what her old friend was thinking.

Regarding such matters, Gaoyu could only sigh.

At the same time, he thought of something else.

Could the soul fragments he split using the Great Replenishing Pill ability help Rangiku recover from the damage caused by the part of her soul Aizen took away?!
