Huanghuang Yanling Palace / Bathroom Play

Obana Danjirou said bitterly, "That's not it. When the nest is overturned, no egg remains unbroken. If the Quincy really launch a large-scale invasion, I certainly won't stand idly by. However, I originally wanted to propose building an orphanage to take in the homeless orphans of Rukongai, but now it seems that the Gotei 13 simply doesn't have the resources for it."

Yamabuki Chidori wholeheartedly supports the idea of establishing Orphan's Grudge, but as Obana Danjirou said, there simply aren't enough manpower and resources to do such a thing right now. If they lose the great battle five months from now, they'll all die together.

There's no need for orphanages anymore.

Moreover, a long time ago, when Yamabuki Chidori was persuading Captain Commander Yamamoto to take in Chōjirō Sasakibe, Yamabuki Chidori had proposed adopting orphans and then training them to become members of the Gotei 13. Children raised from a young age would have extremely high loyalty and would be beneficial and harmless.

Chapter 215: Kōkō Gonryō Rikyū

"I didn't expect you to be such a nice person!" Obana Danjirou laughed.

Yamabuki Chidori's eyes showed a hint of embarrassment. He was considering things from a profit-driven perspective, while Obana Danjirou was a truly kind-hearted person.

These are chaotic times; it's already difficult enough for anyone to survive. Yet this grown man is leading a group of children who are complete strangers to him, braving wind and rain to make a living.

"Six months, six months from now, as long as we win this war, the orphanage we promised will definitely be built," said Yamabuki Chidori.

"Just because of what you said, even if I don't want to fight, I won't be able to in six months," Obana Danjirou laughed.

Before the two of them could finish speaking, the Captain Commander dumped a whole bunch of work on Yamabuki Chidori.

The team assignments for the new team members, their uniforms, and their meals and accommodations.

At this moment, Yamabuki Chidori deeply understood the hardships of being a mother. He was practically the mother of these thousands of people. No matter what the problem was, these team members would come to him for help, even for minor things like a cold or cough!

My medical skills are indeed very impressive, but I'm really not a professional doctor! Shouldn't you go to Tenjirō Kirinji if you're sick?

I was busy until after 7 p. m., and finally finished all my work. Just as I was about to leave, I found Chōjirō Sasakibe waiting for me at the door.

"You're still at work! What are you waiting for me for? Is something wrong?" Yamabuki Chidori asked.

Chōjirō Sasakibe excitedly exclaimed, "Brother Yamabuki, I've learned Bankai!"

Yamabuki Chidori looked at the kid with surprise. So fast?

He truly is a genius!

When I used to watch anime, I always thought the Lieutenant was a weakling who couldn't beat anyone.

In fact, Lieutenant-level Grim Reaper is already quite powerful in this world, but the enemies they encounter are all too strong, so there's nothing they can do.

"Come on, practice with me, let me see what your Bankai looks like," Yamabuki Chidori said with some surprise.

For every bit of strength Chōjirō Sasakibe gains, his chances of survival on future battlefields increase.

Of course, according to the original timeline, Chōjirō Sasakibe would not have died in that fierce battle six months later. His end was a thousand years later, in the final battle between the Shinigami and the Quincy.

Thousand-Year Blood War.

But that damned Soul King also said that with his arrival, the world has changed, and who knows if Chōjirō Sasakibe will die in this war because of his arrival.

The two of them arrived together at the underground training ground at Yamabuki Chidori's house.

Chōjirō Sasakibe raised his sword, solemnly unleashing his Bankai.

"Bankai, Kōkō Gonryō Rikyū!"

The shape of the sword remained unchanged, but countless golden lightning bolts appeared around Chōjirō Sasakibe's body, forming a lightning power source. At the same time, dark clouds floated overhead, containing powerful electricity!

Yamabuki Chidori's eye twitched. The sight of lightning reminded him of his battle with Alice, and the memory of how the young lady was struck by lightning.

Although he wasn't physically or mentally harmed, denying a physically and mentally normal man the right to imagine things is crueler than the death penalty!

Chōjirō Sasakibe lightly Zanpakuto, and a golden lightning bolt struck Yamabuki Chidori.

Although the power was considerable, the difference in strength between the two was too great; a battle between Shinigami is essentially a battle of Reiatsu.

The difference in their Reiatsu was more than tenfold.

Yamabuki Chidori only made my skin feel a little tingly and numb, which was quite comfortable.

"That's it!" asked Yamabuki Chidori.

"It's not over yet!" Chōjirō Sasakibe lightly swept his sword across the golden lightning palace in front of him, golden lightning crackling around his sword, enchanting the weapon.

At the same time, stimulated by the lightning, Chōjirō Sasakibe's speed also increased significantly, and in the blink of an eye, the sword was already in front of Yamabuki Chidori.

Yamabuki Chidori extended her index and middle fingers, gently pinched the knife, and firmly held it in place.

"It's decent against ordinary people, but it's far from threatening the Captain. Besides, you need to focus on increasing your Reiatsu. Without strong Reiatsu, even the most powerful techniques are useless," Yamabuki Chidori said.

Chōjirō Sasakibe was clearly taken aback. He never expected that his Bankai would be caught between two fingers by Yamabuki Chidori. This was such a blow to his self-esteem!

"Alright, stop being so down. We're having hot pot tonight, or we'll be too late!" Yamabuki Chidori said with a smile.

Upon hearing that there would be meat for dinner, Chōjirō Sasakibe completely forgot about his unhappiness. How could anything in this world be more important than hot pot?

As the saying goes, some are happy while others are sad.

The safe return of Yamabuki Chidori made everyone in Soul Society very happy, but the Quincy couldn't be happy at all.

Alice was placed in a huge container filled with a bluish-green liquid. Her wounds had healed and her frozen body tissues had been thawed, but she had not yet woken up.

Mardon felt extremely guilty looking at the badly injured Alice.

If he hadn't been seriously injured that day, he would have been the one fighting that Menos Grande, and Alice wouldn't have been so badly injured.

Just then, the Quincy in charge of medical care exclaimed with delight, "Lady Alice is responding! She should wake up soon!"

Mardon finally breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the news. If anything had happened to a member of the Sternritter, he would have been unable to explain it to His Majesty.

About ten minutes later, Alice slowly woke up from her coma. At that moment, she thought she had entered Hell. Only after seeing her colleagues did she realize that she was still alive.

"That's wonderful! Lady Alice, we're so glad you're alright." The other members of the Sternritter came to visit Alice.

Alice hugged her arms tightly, her whole body trembling.

"Give me... get me some clothes, I feel so cold!" Alice shivered, her teeth chattering.

"Quickly, go and get Alice a dress!"

Soon, a servant brought over a garment, which Alice hurriedly put on, but her body was still trembling.

"No, hurry and get more clothes! It's still cold," Alice said, trembling.

Mardon had a vague feeling that something was wrong. The temperature here was very comfortable, and even if Alice was recovering from serious injuries, she shouldn't be this cold. But seeing Alice shivering, he could only order his men to bring her more clothes.

Alice put on the clothes one by one, until she had seven or eight layers on, and even when she couldn't fit into any more clothes, she was still hugging her shoulders and trembling.

"It's cold, so cold!"

Mardon was caught off guard; Alice was having health problems, and he quickly called a doctor to examine her.

Chapter 216: Bathroom Play

The doctor gave Alice a thorough examination and concluded that Alice body was in optimal condition and her body temperature was constant, which was not something that should have happened.

There was no other way, so Mardon had to have a fire lit here. The temperature in the medical room was originally quite pleasant, but the campfire caused the temperature to rise rapidly. Everyone's foreheads were covered in sweat, and Alice, who was wearing seven or eight layers of cotton clothes, wished she could jump into the fire.

"Alice, may I ask how many fingers this is?" The doctor held up one finger.

Alice huddled completely inside her cotton coat, leaving only half her face showing, and mumbled, "One."

The doctor confirmed that Alice was mentally sound, but why was her body reacting so drastically to temperature changes?

"Alice, could you tell me what you went through before?" the doctor asked.

The other members of the Sternritter also looked on with curiosity. What kind of enemy could have turned Alice of the Sternritter into this state?

Alice, wearing seven or eight layers of cotton clothing, sat by the fire, recounting in fits and starts what had happened that day.

When everyone heard that a Menos Grande could create worlds on the spot, their expressions changed.

This ability is simply outrageous! It's understandable that Alice's Book of Creation couldn't defeat it.

Alice's Schrift is "C". Her Book of Creation does not actually create a world; rather, it creates a massive barrier and assigns and alters various rules within it.

Creating a barrier and creating a world are two completely different concepts.

The barrier simply isolates a region within the existing world.

Creating the world, on the other hand, truly means creating a completely new world.

These two abilities are not even in the same dimension.

"I understand the situation. It's not a physical problem; it seems to be a mental issue for Alice," the doctor said. "Many people develop strange habits after being rescued from near-death experiences, and I'm afraid..."

Alice's psychology became distorted because she almost froze to death in the previous Extreme Cold World. Subconsciously, she believed that this world was incredibly cold, so she kept putting on more clothes and even warmed herself by a fire while others were sweating profusely. Strangely enough, recently, not a single drop of sweat appeared on her forehead!

"Mental state can affect physical state, this is normal. It's probably something Alice will need to take care of herself gradually; there's nothing else to it," the doctor said.

Mardon kept reassuring himself, "It's just wearing a few more clothes, it's okay. This kind of mental illness will get better on its own after a while, it will definitely get better."

As for whether it will get better or not, only God knows.

It's another beautiful sunny day!

The weather in August was unbearably hot, and the Yamabuki Chidori was awakened by the heat. Even with the windows open, there was no breeze, and even if there was, it was hot air.

"Is there no season in this world that's neither too hot nor too cold, and has no mosquitoes or flies?" Yamabuki Chidori muttered to herself, which is why she had to get out of bed at 4:30 in the morning to take a cold shower. But when she got to the bathroom, she found that there was running water inside. Unohana also feeling the heat?

Possibly!

Should I go in and help her scrub her back?

Yamabuki Chidori felt a great inner struggle.

I... I just glanced at it, absolutely not out of any perverted motive, absolutely not!

Yamabuki Chidori mustered all her courage and gently gripped the bathroom door. If he just pulled it to the side... hehehe!

So what if I get beaten up?

Just as Yamabuki Chidori was about to be chopped into eighteen pieces, Unohana's voice suddenly came from behind him. "Yamabuki, up so early?"

Yamabuki Chidori was completely bewildered. What was going on? Why was Unohana behind her? If the person in the bathroom wasn't Unohana, then who was it?

Has a thief broken in?

Yamabuki Chidori flung open the bathroom door and saw a petite figure soaking in the bathtub.

"Ah! It's Chiyo! Then it's alright!" said Yamabuki Chidori.

Hane Hane Chiyo's cheeks flushed red from the sudden scene, and she quickly Hand Muff.

"What do you mean it's alright? Get out of here!!!" Hane Hane Chiyo picked up a wooden bucket and smashed it hard on Yamabuki Chidori's head.

Unohana had already covered Yamabuki Chidori's eyes with her Hand Muff beforehand. Damn it! She didn't see anything and still got hit! What a rip-off!

While having breakfast, Yamabuki Chidori said coldly, "What are you doing at my house? Shouldn't you be in your dorm?"

"But there's no bathroom in the dorm! And it's so hot! A noble young lady like me naturally needs to find a place to take a bath." Hane Hane Chiyo said coldly, "But you, knowing there were people in the bathroom, why did you open the door? Tell me, were you doing it on purpose?"

"I'm not interested in a little girl like you, unless you're wearing white stockings," Yamabuki Chidori said. "By the way, aren't you living with Shūtara Senjumaru? Doesn't she get hot?"

"Of course it's hot! When you built the staff dormitories, could you have considered the ventilation? Now the dorms are like ovens. She gets up earlier than me, but she chooses to bathe in the stream outside Seireitei. I'm not used to bathing in the wild, and the bathroom at home hasn't been used in a long time, so I chose your place," said Hane Hane Chiyo matter-of-factly.

The thought of having to go to work in such sweltering heat, with Yamabuki Chidori mountain of tasks waiting for her, completely drained her energy!

"I don't want to go to work! I don't want to go to work at all!" Yamabuki Chidori, slumped over her desk.

"If you're late, you might get your pay docked!" Unohana laughed.

There's something that Yamabuki Chidori is really concerned about.

Why did the Soul King say that his the Almighty had failed when he asked when Soul King could receive his salary? Does that mean he won't receive a salary for the next million years? It can't be that tragic!

What exactly happened in the future?

Thankfully, I still own a clothing store, which helps supplement my household income to some extent; otherwise, I would have been starving long ago!

Even though she was unwilling, Yamabuki Chidori still went to work under the scorching sun. Being a working person is just too hard!

As soon as I stepped out of the house, the sweltering heat hit me.

Every step taken outside is a tremendous test of courage.

"Why aren't you moving? You're going to be late for work soon, aren't you? Believe me or I'll dock your pay!" Yamabuki Chidori glared at Hane Hane Chiyo.

Hane Hane Chiyo was in tears; who understands the hardships of working people!

Could you please let me off the hook, considering I'm still a child?
