This...

What the hell is this?

Seeing a higher-dimensional comment? And then turning the bragging in the higher-dimensional comment into reality?

Isn't this ability too ridiculous?

And what does "higher-dimensional comment" mean? Is it readers?

Daigoro is acting like a god now, huh?

If I interpret this ability normally, it means that the world I'm currently in is like a manga, and I'm a character in that manga.

Since I'm a character, naturally there will be readers commenting on me.

And my ability is to choose one of these comments about me and make it come true.

That's why Gaoyu was dumbfounded.

Doesn't this mean I'm living in a manga world?

"..."

Forget it, forget it. Thinking about this now is useless. Who made me pitiful, weak, and helpless?

Besides these, the Vice-Captains of the Third and Ninth Divisions both died in previous incidents, so they are currently vacant.

The Vice-Captain of the Seventh Division is on an external mission, so he couldn't come either.

This means that out of the thirteen Vice-Captains, a total of ten came. Each Vice-Captain sat in their own seat. Except for Gaoyu and Rangiku chatting for a bit, everyone else basically didn't say a word.

Looking at Rangiku, Gaoyu remembered the Great Replenishing Pill he had created using her ability before.

He gave this item to Aizen, and he didn't know what Aizen would use it for.

Would it be to feed the Hogyoku?

However...

Gaoyu subconsciously touched his heart.

After activating the Great Replenishing Pill ability, he felt as if a small piece of his soul's essence was missing.

Even though so much time had passed, that feeling was still there.

He felt that the soul's essence consumed by activating the Great Replenishing Pill once would take at least a year to recover.

The soul's essence is the foundation of a Shinigami's soul. When a Shinigami awakens their Zanpakuto, they inject their soul's essence into an Asauchi, connecting it to their soul and awakening corresponding abilities.

A decrease in soul's essence will not only affect normal training but also the Bankai of the Zanpakuto.

Just like Rangiku, even though many other Vice-Captains could perform Bankai later, she still wasn't ready.

Gaoyu suspected that this was very likely related to her incomplete soul's essence.

But fortunately, Gaoyu felt that he could probably recover the lost soul's essence in about a year.

For a Shinigami, a year is not a very long time.

The first Captain's meeting ended like this. Gaoyu remembered the soul abilities of each Vice-Captain, planning to make friends with them later according to their importance.

Then, he obediently followed Aizen back to the Fifth Division.

He officially became a Vice-Captain starting today. Within the Gotei 13, Vice-Captains are definitely considered an important stratum. Therefore, he also had his own room in the Fifth Division, and his office became much larger.

However, he still wasn't used to living in the division. After all, how could the division be as safe as his own home?

His home was his own Safe House!

"How was it?"

On the way back, Aizen, who was walking ahead, said, "Among the Vice-Captains, have you found any new subjects for observation?"

Looking at Aizen's back, Gaoyu smiled faintly, "At least for now, everyone is an object of my observation."

"However..."

Gaoyu couldn't help but complain, "This Captain's meeting is a bit flawed. It should only require your Captains to come. We people just simply wait in the next room for the Captains to discuss the results. Why do we have to go through the trouble of coming to the First Division for something like this?"

"Expressing dissatisfaction with the Seireitei's unchanging system of a thousand years right after becoming a Vice-Captain is not a good thing," Aizen said with a smile. "I'll have to tell Captain-Commander Yamamoto next time."

"What a thing, Captain Aizen, you're actually a tattletale." Gaoyu pouted. He didn't see many Captains when he went this time.

He also didn't see Captain-Commander Yamamoto.

To be honest, he was quite interested in Captain-Commander Yamamoto's soul ability. After all, he was the strongest Shinigami for a thousand years; his soul ability shouldn't be too weak, right?

But the thought that no matter how strong or weak his soul ability was, he would have to raise his favorability to at least sixty before he could use it made Gaoyu a little headache.

Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto is an old-fashioned fuddy-duddy, and getting his favorability is not an easy task.

His status is too high, and he has no space to interact with him at all.

Forget it, forget it. You can't force these things.

Gaoyu watched Aizen return to his office, while he stayed with the members of the Fifth Division.

The members congratulated Gaoyu on becoming a Vice-Captain. Gaoyu did not become arrogant because of it and still spoke kindly with them as he did in the past.

I thought today would end like this, but just as Gaoyu was preparing to leave work in the evening, a group of people arrived outside the Fifth Division, specifically asking to see him.

Gaoyu went out to meet them, his gaze sharpening.

He didn't recognize them, but he did recognize the emblem on their clothing.

It was the emblem of the Tsunayashiro Clan, one of the Five Noble Clans of the Soul Society.

That reminded Gaoyu.

The Gaoyu Clan was a lower-ranking noble family, and lower-ranking noble families generally had their 'backer' or 'main family.'

Just like the Hōgō Clan was to the Shihōin Clan, the Gaoyu Clan, as a lower-ranking noble family, was also attached to a great noble family, which was the Tsunayashiro Clan among the Five Noble Clans.

However, as the Gaoyu Clan gradually declined, they were no longer qualified to be attached to the Tsunayashiro Clan.

By the generation of Gaoyu Kouun, the Gaoyu Clan only had the name of nobility, not the substance, and had long since had no connection with the Tsunayashiro Clan.

Gaoyu clicked his tongue, walked over, and asked, "This is quite unexpected. A big shot from the Tsunayashiro Clan actually came to see me personally? What is it, do those important figures have something they need?"

"Gaoyu Kouun," a servant from the Tsunayashiro Clan said. "The upper family has a mission for you."

Gaoyu didn't reply. Instead, he glanced back at Aizen.

Aizen shrugged, signaling that this had nothing to do with him.

Gaoyu then asked, "May I know what kind of mission it is?"

Although the Gaoyu Clan was a subordinate family of the Tsunayashiro Clan, he was now a Vice-Captain and didn't need to obey the Tsunayashiro Clan's arrangements for everything.

Of course, if the Tsunayashiro Clan didn't mind the trouble, they could issue orders through the Central 46, and then they could command him.

Let alone a Vice-Captain, even a Captain or the Captain-Commander had to obey the orders of the Central 46.

The envoy from the Tsunayashiro Clan said, "The mission will be delivered to you via Hell Butterfly in three days. This mission requires you to go to the Human World, so please be prepared."

Go to the Human World...

Gaoyu frowned, but this was also a good thing for him.

In the Human World, there were still a bunch of people waiting for him to increase their favorability.

So he nodded.

"No problem. The official document will be sent in three days."
