Then Go to the Human World for Inspiration

Yan Si's brain was operating at full capacity. Facing Captain Unohana's gentle, smiling face, he felt like he was walking a tightrope with a bottomless abyss below.

Don't be fooled by the Captain's current amiable appearance, radiating a healing aura.

A woman who could hold a Captain's position and carve out the title of "First Kenpachi" in that chaotic era a thousand years ago definitely had a mind no less sharp than her Zanpakuto.

Her observation skills, acuity, and insight into the human heart... were probably top-notch.

Not to mention her

Indeed, Unohana Retsu gently set down her teacup at this moment.

A flawless, gentle smile still graced her face as she looked at Yan Si, her voice soft:

"So, the name 'Shu Hua' carries such a beautiful and resilient meaning. It's truly impressive."

She nodded slightly, as if genuinely accepting the explanation, then naturally shifted the topic, her tone laced with the anticipation of a reader:

"Then, I look forward to the subsequent developments of the story even more. Fifth Seat Yan Si, please do hurry with your writing."

Hiss!

A chill ran down the back of Yan Si's neck. Something was wrong! That tone, that expression!

Although he couldn't find any fault with it, he had a strong intuition that Unohana didn't believe his story at all!

Was she just not planning to pry for now, or was she waiting for a better opportunity to strike?

He couldn't dwell on this topic any longer! He had to change the subject quickly!

Yan Si's face immediately broke into a forced smile of helplessness and awkwardness as he tried to brush it off:

"Ah, Captain Unohana, you flatter me too much. The continuation isn't that easy to write."

He sighed and began to complain:

"The way I write is to use superficial, intense conflicts and bloody scenes to symbolize a deeper core.

It requires a more profound understanding of combat, life and death, and human nature under extreme circumstances."

He spread his hands, his expression innocent, "But as you can see, I'm just an ordinary squad member. In the Ninth Division, I mostly handle paperwork and prison administration. Where would I get the chance to witness truly high-level combat?

Writing is a struggle, with more will than ability, so progress is slow. I ask for the understanding of all Captains, and to allow me time to ponder..."

"That's simple!"

Kurayashiki Kenpachi slapped his thigh and laughed heartily, "You haven't seen real combat? Need material? Just follow our Eleventh Division on a few missions!"

He looked at Yan Si and enthusiastically extended an invitation:

"Recently, something's been happening in the Human World. The number of abnormal deaths is a bit high, and the soul fluctuations are unusual.

Our Eleventh Division and the Thirteenth Division have to go up there to support frequently.

The Thirteenth Division is mainly responsible for guiding souls for burial, while we... we're responsible for clearing out the Hollows."

The more he spoke, the better the idea seemed, "You can follow us up there and observe from a safe distance! See what a human battlefield is like, see how we Shinigami handle things!

That's firsthand material! Absolutely real! I guarantee you'll get a flood of inspiration after watching a few battles!"

Yan Si turned his head to look at the enthusiastic Kurayashiki Kenpachi, feeling speechless.

Captain Kurayashiki! What does this have to do with you! Why do you have to stick your nose into everything!

I just made a casual complaint, and you took it seriously? And you're arranging a field trip for me?

He immediately cast a pleading look towards his own Captain.

The Ninth Division was in charge of prisons and initial interrogations. Going to the Human World to kill Hollows was completely the responsibility of other divisions!

This wasn't according to regulations, Captain, please use your stern and just captain's authority to reject this absurd proposal!

Kensei Muguruma received Yan Si's gaze, his brow furrowed slightly, revealing a thoughtful expression.

He crossed one arm and stroked his chin with the other hand, seemingly weighing the matter seriously.

After a moment, he looked up at Yan Si and said with the stern tone of a Captain issuing an order:

"Hmm... Captain Kurayashiki has a point. It's indeed difficult to write a profound work if you only work behind closed doors. Since it's for your creation, it's also a rare opportunity for experience."

He paused and made his decision.

"Then, Yan Si, you will temporarily follow the Eleventh Division and go up to the Human World to observe and learn for a few days. Be careful and follow orders."

Siwei Yan opened his mouth but couldn't make a sound, only staring blankly at his Captain.

Captain, you just sold me out like that?
