Soul King, You Were Damn Right / Bud, Let Me Borrow Your Wife

Yamabuki Chidori, her face ashen, looked up shakily at her wife.

Unohana smiled and said, "I can't help you with these things. I still have matters to attend to with the 11th Division. I'll remember to bring you food on time, so good luck with your work!"

Looking at the mountain of work before her, Yamabuki Chidori could only struggle and wail amidst the documents.

Chapter Twenty-Two: Soul King, you were absolutely right!

Time flies, and payday has come again.

Yamabuki Chidori woke up exceptionally early today. His wife was still fast asleep beside him. Yamabuki Chidori Kerato tiptoed out of bed to prepare breakfast.

After getting up, he gently rubbed his temples. Had he been riding horses a bit too often lately? He felt somewhat tired!

The fact that Immortal Body like myself could be exhausted like this shows just how intense these battles were.

Yamabuki Chidori gently tucked his wife in. Although he was physically exhausted, he was in high spirits because he would be receiving his wages today.

Six months ago, I defeated Unohana in Central 46 because a bunch of people in Central 46 dared to talk nonsense in front of me. In a fit of anger, I chopped one of them down with a single blow!

I was so young back then!

Yamabuki Chidori sighed. If it were her now, she would definitely chop up all the witnesses so that no one could prove that she was the one who killed the person!

It was precisely because of this incident that the Captain Commander had to give an explanation to the Central 46, and in the end, he was fined half a year's salary.

Now, the six-month period has passed!

I'm finally getting my salary!

Soul King, didn't you say I'd never get a salary in my entire life? Well, I'll show you this time!

After he finished making breakfast, Unohana lazily got out of bed, slowly stretched, and showed off her graceful figure.

After getting up, Unohana began to dress up.

Since getting married, she has become less and less murderous, and her smiles have become more and more frequent. She makes the members of the 11th Division very uncomfortable. Some of them even think that their Captain has been possessed and that she is no longer the Sword of Death.

"Is this a lavish breakfast for so early in the morning?" Unohana, somewhat surprised by the sumptuous breakfast before her.

"Today is an extraordinary day. I'm finally getting my own salary. Hmph, although I'm not usually short of money, this means I've broken free from the limitations of my future. Come and eat, so we can go to work after we finish eating," Yamabuki Chidori said smugly.

Unohana strolled leisurely to the dining table, chewing her food slowly and deliberately.

After finishing their meal, the two of them left home at the same time to prepare for work. Although Yamabuki Chidori still held the position of Lieutenant of the 11th Division, his main workplace was now the General Staff Department, where he was primarily responsible for the overall strategic planning of the Gotei 13.

Upon arriving at the Staff Department, many Staff Officer surrounded him. "Minister, we heard today is payday. How much are we getting paid? This is our first month receiving our salaries!"

Yamabuki Chidori looked at her subordinates and coughed lightly. "Get back to your posts. What kind of behavior is this? Did you come here for a paycheck?"

"Yes!" all the Staff Officer replied in unison.

"You guys..." Yamabuki Chidori realized that these young people were not easy to fool. If you talked to them about ideals, they would talk to you about reality.

The salaries of the Gotei 13 are strictly regulated, and different Seated Officer receive different levels of pay.

The salary of the Staff Department was equivalent to that of the lowest-ranking Seated Officer.

After all, these people don't have to fight on the front lines, so the level of danger they face is far less than that of ordinary team members. They are already receiving a lot of salary at this level.

"Minister, how much do you earn a month? Can you tell me?" The Staff Officer crowded around with curious expressions.

Yamabuki Chidori sneered, "Why are you all so curious! Don't you know curiosity killed the cat? Anyway, I have more blooms than you guys!"

One of the veteran team members whispered, "Minister, didn't you have six months' salary deducted for your previous mistake? If that's the case... you haven't received a month's salary at all?"

Yamabuki Chidori's reason seemed to snap. Which brat exposed my weakness?

"Henggang member!" Yamabuki Chidori looked at the member who had exposed her shortcomings with a broad smile.

"Yes...yes!" Henggang answered softly.

Yamabuki Chidori pulled a huge stack of documents from the room and slammed it into his hand. "If you don't finish dealing with these documents today, you're not allowed to collect your salary!"

With tears welling up in his eyes, Henggang returned to his post, clutching the documents, and worked himself to the bone.

To ensure uniform salary distribution, the Gotei 13 will distribute salaries in batches, starting with the Captain, then the Lieutenant, the 3rd Seat, the 4th Seat, and so on.

Yamabuki Chidori naturally receives a top-tier salary.

Upon receiving the notification, he rushed to the finance and accounting department without saying a word.

The person in charge of distributing wages was Hane Hane Chiyo.

The Kidō Corps doesn't have much work to do, so she volunteered to take on the task of distributing salaries.

"Captain Commander, this is your salary! Please take it!" Hane Hane Chiyo took out a large money bag and placed it in the Captain Commander's hand.

Yamabuki Chidori revealed an arrogant smile. "I am now the de facto second-in-command of the Gotei 13. I will definitely be the second person to receive a salary!"

Then...

"Shunshun Shidō! Come and collect your salary!"

Um???

Yamabuki Chidori was puzzled, but then she realized that although she was the second-in-command of the Gotei 13, she was also the Lieutenant of the 11th Division, so her salary might be attributed to the Lieutenant.

Soon all thirteen Captain had received their wages, and it was the Lieutenant' turn.

As a result, the entire Gotei 13 now only has four Lieutenant.

First Division Lieutenant, Chōjirō Sasakibe.

2nd Division Lieutenant, Hachisato.

Fifth Division Lieutenant, Tsunayashiro Fūka.

Lieutenant of the 11th Division, Yamabuki Chidori.

As a result, in order, Chōjirō Sasakibe Tsuyoshi, Hachisato, and Tsunayashiro Fūka all received their wages as they wished.

And that was it; it jumped straight to the 3rd Seat.

"Wait a minute!!!" Yamabuki Chidori jumped out, smiling broadly at Hane Hane Chiyo, and asked, "Did you forget something?"

Hane Hane Chiyo looked at Yamabuki Chidori and suddenly slapped her forehead. "How could I forget about myself! This is my salary for this month!"

As she spoke, she also took out a bag of money.

The Captain the Kidō Corps Clan receives the salary of Lieutenant.

"Me! You forgot about me! I haven't received my salary yet!" Yamabuki Chidori exclaimed.

Hane Hane Chiyo looked puzzled and checked the registration form. "Yamabuki Chidori, Yamabuki Chidori... You've already taken your salary! Look here!"

"Nonsense! I don't remember this at all. Do I have dementia?" Yamabuki Chidori asked.

Chōjirō Sasakibe also came over and whispered, "Brother Yamabuki, your salary has indeed been collected, but it wasn't collected by you personally; it was Captain Unohana who collected it."

"Hmm???" Yamabuki Chidori had a bad feeling and quickly turned around, only to see Unohana smiling as she carried two bags of money.

"Darling!" Unohana said with a smile, "I heard from the girls in the team that men with money tend to go bad. You don't want to become a bad man, do you? Is it okay if I keep your salary for now?"

Yamabuki Chidori was almost in tears.

"No problem!"

At least a pay cut has a time limit, but what if your wife confiscates your pay card...?

Soul King, what you said is absolutely accurate.

Chapter Twenty-Three: Bard, can I borrow your wife for a moment?

Winter goes and spring comes.

Five months have passed since the Wandenreich Invasion War. In these six months, there has been an unusually peaceful period. Not to mention large-scale battles, even petty thieves and bandits in Rukongai have decreased significantly.

Compared to Yamabuki Chidori, the Captain Commander lives a rather comfortable life. He only needs to make decisions on a very small number of things. If he can't even make a decision, he simply dumps the trouble on Yamabuki Chidori. Captain Commander Yamamoto has even developed this habit.

Two major events occurred during these six months.

The first was that the Genji Academy was officially renamed the Shino Academy, and the first dean of the Shino Academy was not Captain Commander Yamamoto, but Yamabuki Chidori.

Yamabuki Chidori originally wanted to decline, but the Captain Commander said that Yamabuki Chidori had always been in charge of the Genji Academy, and told him not to decline anymore, and that he would be paid double the salary!

Yamabuki Chidori agreed without any hesitation.

Who could refuse double pay?

The second thing was that the first public orphanage appeared in Soul Society.

This was something that Yamabuki Chidori promised Obana Danjirou before the Wandenreich invaded, but it was delayed due to various events. Two months ago, the first orphanage was finally officially established.

Obana Danjirou also became the first director of the orphanage.

Obana Danjirou has always loved children, and after establishing the orphanage, the Seireitei regularly recruits boys with outstanding Reiatsu from the Fourth Middle School to become fresh blood for the Gotei 13.

With the establishment of the Shino Academy, coupled with the scar on Yamamoto's forehead, he was often called "Gen X-sai". In the end, Yamamoto gave himself the title "Genryūsai" in a fit of anger.

Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni.

It was June, and the weather was getting hotter. The girls were discussing what kind of swimsuits Yamabuki Apparel Store would release this year. After half a year, Seireitei had been rebuilt, and people had slowly forgotten the earth-shattering battle that had taken place six months earlier.

"Isn't Yamabuki here?" Captain Commander Yamamoto strolled over to the Staff Department.

"The Chief Strategist said he has some very important business to attend to in the Human World and forbids us from following him," a Staff Officer whispered. "What urgent matter does the Captain Commander have? I can relay it to the Chief Strategist."

"It's nothing," Yamamoto said casually. He was just bored in his office and wanted to chat with Yamabuki, but Yamabuki had skipped work. That brat.

What important things can there be in this Human World?

Meanwhile, in Human World Kyoto...

At the Ishida Family, Ishida Oboro is six months pregnant, and the baby will be born in three or four days. Bard has become exceptionally diligent, as parents naturally want to leave the best for their child.

During this time, Yamabuki Chidori frequently traveled to the Human World to see how many Quincy Dracula had contacted.

As a result, in the past six months, Dracula found very few Quincy. Most of them had chosen to return to their homeland after Yhwach's defeat. Only a very small number of Quincy remained in Japan. Coupled with being unfamiliar with the place and not being able to speak the language, it was extremely difficult for them to survive there.

Therefore, Yamabuki Chidori turned her attention to Ishida Oboro, or more accurately, to Ishida Oboro's belly.

The Ishida Family was originally a wealthy and prominent family in the area. After Ishida Oboro was granted the power of Quincy, he directly became the head of the Ishida Family.

Furthermore, Bard married into the family, meaning that all the children born to the two of them would have the surname "Ishida".

Despite having such abundant material resources, Ishida Oboro still lived a very easy life, and at this moment, she radiated maternal glow.

At this moment, Ishida Oboro sat on a thick blanket, humming a little tune, making all sorts of little clothes for her unborn child.

She had a vague feeling that something was watching her from the shadows. She hadn't actually discovered anything; it was just a woman's intuition.

But when she looked over, she found nothing. This wasn't the first time she'd had this feeling; she'd had it for two months. Although she'd told her husband, he always thought it was just stress from her pregnancy.

Tonight's dinner is fresh fish and freshly slaughtered beef; it's a very sumptuous meal.

"Darling, that uncomfortable feeling is back again today." Ishida Oboro gently bit her chopsticks, a little habit of hers, whenever she felt nervous.

Bard was probably a little nervous about becoming a father for the first time. After putting his wife to sleep, he carefully searched the surroundings to avoid any potential attacks on her, but he found nothing.

Quincy can control Reishi, so if there is a Hollow, it will have nowhere to hide. Of course, there is another possibility: that the opponent's ability to control Reishi is superior to his.

Since there was no entertainment to do that evening, and his wife was pregnant and they couldn't play games, Bard went to bed early next to his wife.

After they both fell asleep, an unseen figure appeared in front of the bed.

The person reached out and gently pulled up the blanket and clothes covering Ishida Oboro's stomach, revealing her slightly protruding belly.

Ishida Oboro was sleeping soundly. Given her strength, even if she couldn't resist, she could still shout out loud when her clothes were pulled off. However, Ishida Oboro seemed to be in a deep coma, and so did Bard next to her.

A hand gently pressed on her stomach, and then a boy's voice rang out in the room.

"The fetus is healthy! There's nothing wrong, so I won't stand on ceremony. Bard, can I borrow your wife for a moment?" Yamabuki Chidori emerged from the shadows.

For the past six months, he had been secretly observing Ishida Oboro, and even pretended to be a doctor to treat her several times. After confirming that there was no problem with the child in her womb, Yamabuki Chidori began his plan.

He cut his palm, and the blood dripped onto Ishida Oboro's stomach. The fetus in Ishida Oboro's womb seemed to be stimulated and writhed in pain inside its mother's womb.

Under normal circumstances, Ishida Oboro would have been awakened by the pain long ago, but now she seems to be forced into sleep, and she doesn't wake up no matter how much the baby in her belly struggles.

The blood, like a venomous snake, slithered into Ishida Oboro's belly and into the fetus's body. Soon, the fetus, which had been struggling in pain, calmed down.

This fetus has already been infused with the power of Yamabuki Chidori. Moreover, the offspring of this fetus will also inherit a portion of Yamabuki Chidori's power. In this way, Yamabuki Chidori can simulate Auswählen and extract Silver Thrombosis from the hearts of future Quincy.
