First Division Barracks, tea room.
After receiving the message from the Department of Research and Development, Yamamoto Genryusai had already prepared the premium Hagoromo Tea that Ginrei Kuchiki had sent him earlier.
Though it was somewhat unreasonable for a teacher to welcome his disciple with a cleansing feast.
Su Feng was a hero who had saved Soul Society, after all. This much treatment was nothing.
The fragrance of tea drifted through the air as one old and one young figure sat cross-legged before the tea table, meeting each other's gazes.
"That was how the battle in Hueco Mundo went."
Su Feng recounted the entire process without leaving out even the Quincy faction's assistance. The only thing he did not mention was Azashiro Soya's whereabouts.
It was a small selfishness on his part.
In truth, from a certain perspective, Azashiro Soya and Mayuri Kurotsuchi were quite alike. Both possessed an almost pathological obsession with certain goals.
This sort of mentality was generally closely related to one's childhood experiences.

His sister's final request had also become the concern that haunted Azashiro Soya for the rest of his life.
