Eighth Division's team building
Standing quietly in the afternoon sunshine, a Squad Member on duty in the foyer is sitting behind the desk, with a roster spread out in front of him that records visitor records. He is currently playing with the pen in his hand out of boredom.
Ukitake and Suzuko walked over from the other side of the street, walking neither fast nor slow.
After the two people came back from Kagamino City, they first reported back to Thirteenth Division.
They first went back to the dormitory, changed into clean clothes, took a hot shower, and had a good night's rest.
When I got up the next day, Suzuko said to go and see Kyōraku, and Ukitake agreed.
Squad Member, who was on duty, raised his head and saw two people wearing Shihakushō standing at the door.
One has white hair, a delicate face, and a straight posture, with two Asauchi hanging on his waist; one has hair tied back with a piece of cloth, and has bright eyes, looking like he has just graduated from school.
He had never seen them before, but he knew they were Soul Reaper and Eighth Division by looking at their attire. As an intelligence team, people from various divisions came in and out every day, delivering documents, seconding information, looking for people, and communicating with reconnaissance intelligence. He was used to strange faces appearing in the hall.
"Hello, we are looking for Shunsui Kyōraku" the voice was gentle and clear
The pen on duty Squad Member paused for a moment, he raised his head and looked at the two people in front of him again, Kyōraku Fifth Seat has been a hot topic within Eighth Division recently. Usually not many people come to see Kyōraku, but these days there are indeed more people. Some come to inquire about the details of the battle, some come to congratulate, and a few people from Second Division come to ask if they can have a discussion with Kyōraku
"Looking for Kyōraku Fifth Seat?" Squad Member on duty put down his pen with a hint of uncertainty in his tone, as if he was confirming that they had not found the wrong person.
Ukitake and Suzuko were stunned at the same time
Shunsui Kyōraku? Fifth Seat? How long ago did they graduate?
Suzuko's mouth opened slightly, and he turned to look at Ukitake. Ukitake's expression was calmer than hers, but there was also a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"Kyōraku Fifth Seat He has just gone on a mission with the captain. It is a long-term mission." Squad Member, the duty officer, saw that the expressions of the two of them were a little solid, so he directly added, with a tone of "I know you are surprised, but this is the truth" in his tone.
Suzuko took a half step forward. "What long-term mission?"
"I don't know the specifics. If you two are looking for Kyōraku Fifth Seat, please wait until he comes back." Squad Member on duty obviously knew it, but it seemed that the two of them were Kyōraku Fifth Seat's classmates, so he decided not to say anything to avoid the young man causing trouble. Then he started playing with his pen again and looked at the street scenery in the distance.
Ukitake and Suzuko stood at the door of Eighth Division for a while. Suzuko's shoulders slumped slightly. She had something to say to Kyōraku
"Let's go" Ukitake said, Suzuko nodded, the two of them turned around and walked back to Thirteenth Division's station.
Thirteenth Division captain team building
Shuichi and Suzuko each have a small table. They sit facing each other on chairs. On the table are set meals, beef stew, grilled fish, vegetable salad, miso soup, a large bowl of rice, and a pot of tea beside it.
Ordinary Squad Member can only go to the cafeteria to eat fast food, but who calls Shuichi the captain?
In Seireitei, the higher the seat, the better the treatment. Strong combat effectiveness and strong background will also slightly improve the treatment. Like Ukitake, although it is still an ordinary Squad Member, it is Students at Captain-Commander Yamamoto have single dormitories and good meals, and their salary is at the same level as Twentieth Seat. They don't live in collective dormitories like ordinary Squad Member, and their salary is only 7,000 Lai.
Of course, the same goes for Suzuko, but it is common for Suzuko to come to Shuichi to have a meal, and Ukitake is too shameless to come.
"Brother, do you know what mission Eighth Division is going to perform?" Suzuko did not start immediately. Instead, he put his hands on the edge of the table, leaned forward slightly, and his eyes sparkled with curiosity.
"Suzuko, you went to find Shunsui. Eighth Division's matter has nothing to do with Thirteenth Division." Speaking of which, Shuichi didn't really want to answer this question, so he picked it up
Shuichi's hand holding the teacup paused, his eyes looked from the edge of the teacup to Suzuko, and he said nothing.
"Brother~" Suzuko lengthened her voice and used her trump card.
"..." Shuichi was silent for a few seconds, put down the tea cup, picked up the chopsticks and continued eating. Suzuko thought he was not going to answer, and was about to act coquettishly again, Shuichi spoke, "Suzuko, you went to find Shunsui. The matter of Eighth Division has nothing to do with us Thirteenth Division."
"But Ukitake and I both want to know!" Suzuko put his hands on the table and leaned forward even more, with undisguised curiosity in his tone.
"We were at Kagamino City for three months. The first thing we wanted to do when we came back was to find Shunsui. But Squad Member, who was on duty, said that he was on a long-term mission with the captain. What kind of mission is it? How long will it take to go? Is it dangerous?"
A series of questions were thrown at me like beans from a bamboo tube.
Shuichi glanced at her and saw that she was not going to give up. He put down his chopsticks and said in a calm tone, "Seireitei and Quincy started a war. Eighth Division is the vanguard. Captain Katori led half of the division. Third Division Captain Yan Yuan is responsible for supporting, and Eleventh Division Captain Unohana is the main force."
Suzuko's eyes suddenly widened
Quincy, this word only appears a few times in the Shin'ō Academy's textbooks, but every time it appears, it carries a special weight. When the teacher talks about the Quincy invasion war, his tone will unconsciously lower his tone, as if he is talking about a wound that has not yet completely healed. She subconsciously thinks of what her brother said, that he has seen Quincy.
"Then Shunsui will be in danger?" Suzuko's voice became serious, and the curiosity on his face turned into worry. Kyōraku is her and Ukitake's closest classmate at Shin'ō
Shuichi looked at the undisguised worry on Suzuko's face, and his voice became softer. "Shunsui, he Shikai."
Suzuko was stunned for a moment
"His Zanpakutō is called Katen Kyōkotsu, and his double sword is Shikai. His ability is very special. The teacher has personally confirmed his Shikai. Don't worry, he Have enough ability to protect yourself." Shuichi's tone was always steady, but every word fell on Suzuko's heart, like a soft blanket was laid on her anxious mood.
Suzuko's lips moved, but her worries were not eliminated. That was a battlefield, not a gym.
But besides worry, there is another layer of something else
"Shunsui that guy..." Suzuko lowered his head, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, there was pride in his tone, and there was also a hint of stubbornness not to be outdone.
"A person has made so much progress secretly..."
Suzuko nodded, picked up the chopsticks, took a bite of rice, then picked up a piece of beef and stuffed it into her mouth, chewed it a few times, and her eyes lit up again, as if something on it had been ignited.
"Brother, next time there is Quincy, will we Thirteenth Division also go?" Suzuko put the chopsticks on the edge of the bowl, folded his hands on the table, sat up straight, and his tone became particularly serious.
"Thirteenth Division... When it is time to go, I will go naturally," Shuichi looked at her, there was a softness in her eyes that was not easy to detect, but there was some worry in her heart. This girl seemed to have some misunderstanding about the war.
