"This person must be extremely cold-blooded!"

Kamishirokawa tilted his head slightly, wondering if he was being disliked.

The Seated Officer then said, "Ladies, your lunch today is the adorable bunny in your hands. If you don't make it, you'll go hungry today."

"Bunny is so cute, how can you eat a bunny!"

Lunchtime.

Ten adorable bunnies are stewing in a pot. Scallions, ginger, and garlic are sautéed in oil, then light soy sauce and cooking wine are added and simmered slowly, creating an irresistible aroma.

Nine girls, along with Kamishirokawa, sat around the large iron pot and ate three big bowls of food with tears in their eyes.

Delicious! So delicious!

Kamishirokawa hadn't had much contact with girls in recent years, and suddenly found them quite fascinating! Seated Officer, looking helpless, gently patted Kamishirokawa's shoulder twice. "You'll get used to it! Don't ever think girls are just cute creatures; when they get ruthless, they're the most terrifying things in the world. I was fortunate enough to witness the Captain's anger once..."

The Seated Officer seemed to recall something terrible, and his whole body trembled.

Kamishirokawa seemed lost in thought, then lowered his head and ate his rice.

He was very skilled with knives, whether it was dissection or surgery, and because he had killed so many people, he had a thorough understanding of the human body.

The most difficult thing for Kamishirokawa was memorizing all sorts of herbs and understanding their pharmacology. This was a completely new world for him, and he had to learn it little by little, which was definitely not something he could master in a short time.

Even renowned healers like Yamabuki Chidori and Unohana spent a century figuring out these things.

"It's a long and arduous journey! It seems that becoming a good doctor isn't so easy!" Kamishirokawa closed his book, looked at the clouds outside, and smiled.

If I keep working hard, maybe I'll become a renowned doctor like Captain Unohana.

Chapter 175: I, Kamishirokawa, the Divine Physician

As summer transitions into autumn, the weather gradually cools down, but this clash between hot and cold temperatures causes many people to fall ill.

Coughing could be heard throughout the Thirteenth Division.

"Cough cough cough, cough cough cough!"

"Cough cough cough, cough cough cough!"

"Captain, Lieutenant Ukitake, are you two alright?" the team member asked anxiously.

The two people coughing were none other than Jūshirō Ukitake and Sakurane Saizo.

"No good! I'm getting old! If this were when I was young, I'd definitely spend the whole day playing in the river on such cool weather! But my body isn't what it used to be. Alas, time waits for no one. Back in the day, I fought Yamabuki Chidori for three hundred rounds to a draw, and it was only after his sincere request that I joined the Gotei 13. In the blink of an eye, almost three hundred years have passed." Sakurane Saizo said with a cough and a sigh, "Ukitake, are you alright?"

Jūshirō Ukitake was coughing so hard he felt like he was going to cough up his lungs. His fair cheeks were flushed an unnatural red, and he was covering his mouth with a white handkerchief as he continued to cough.

"N-nothing... cough cough cough!" Jūshirō Ukitake took a few deep breaths to suppress his cough.

"There's no other way, I have to go to the Fourth Division to get some medicine!" Sakurane Saizo just stood up when he heard a "crack" from his waist.

"Ouch, my back! It hurts so much!" Sakurane Saizo pounding his back with his hands.

"Captain, let me go!" said Jūshirō Ukitake.

Sakurane Saizo his hand. "Go and come back quickly! Also, Ukitake, you should take care of your health and not put so much work on yourself."

"It's alright!" Jūshirō Ukitake smiled and went to the Fourth Division to get the medicine.

When he arrived at the Fourth Division, all he heard was a chorus of coughs. It turned out that he wasn't the only one with a cold; many people had caught colds during this seasonal change and had come to the Fourth Division for treatment.

The Fourth Division, which had been relatively relaxed, finally got busy.

Kamishirokawa closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and kept encouraging himself.

"After two months of continuous study, I'm sure I'll become an excellent doctor. Come on!" On his Kamishirokawa was greeted by his former members of the 11th Division.

The team members all looked pale and sickly; some were coughing incessantly, while others complained of headaches.

"What... what's going on here!" Kamishirokawa looked at his former subordinates.

"Captain..."

"Don't call me Captain. I'm just an ordinary doctor in the Fourth Division now. If Hyakki-ji hears this, he might be unhappy," Kamishirokawa said.

"Captain, don't worry about it. Although Captain Hyakki-ji looks fierce, he's surprisingly a good person. He gets along well with all of us and won't care about such a small thing!" his teammates said.

Hearing his teammates say that, Kamishirokawa was relieved.

"Your symptoms don't seem like a cold. Cold symptoms include headache, cough, and runny nose, but you just said you have diarrhea? Did you eat something bad?" Kamishirokawa asked as carefully as a renowned doctor.

"Yesterday, a colleague from the 8th Division went on a business trip and brought back a lot of seafood for us. At the same time, a colleague from the Tenth Division brought over a lot of persimmons, so we ate them together..."

Two question marks appeared above Kamishirokawa's head: seafood with persimmons?

"Wait a minute, let me check the book to see if these two foods will cause any adverse reactions." Kamishirokawa smoothly took out a book from his pocket and began to flip through it.

The members of the 11th Division all felt a chill run down their spines.

This doesn't sound like something an intern who hasn't even graduated yet would do.

Do you just flip through a book when you encounter symptoms you don't understand?

"Um... Captain, I feel like we can pull through on our own, so let's not get the medication! What do you guys think?" The teammate sitting at the front nudged his companions with his elbow.

"Oh right, right! There are still so many patients here, Captain, you should treat others. Our condition isn't serious!"

Just as the group was about to leave, Kamishirokawa said coldly, "Sit down."

The team members were so frightened that they sat obediently on the stools.

"Don't you believe in my medical skills? I've been studying diligently for the past two months. I wouldn't dare call myself a renowned doctor, but I dare say I can cure any ailment! Besides, you are my first group of patients. Consider this a practice run for me. Sit here obediently and wait for me to prescribe medicine for you!" Kamishirokawa said coldly.

"We... we're the first wave of patients? Captain... have you cured anyone else before?" The team members trembled.

"No!"

"Then you just said the medicine would cure the disease instantly..."

"I think... there shouldn't be any problem. Persimmons with seafood, it's just food poisoning, a minor illness that can be easily solved. Let me see what the book says... If surgery is needed, first cut open the stomach, then clean the intestines, and finally sew the intestines back in! Don't worry, I'm good at surgery, I'm number one among the freshmen!" Kamishirokawa drew his Zanpakuto directly from his waist.

"Captain... Captain... our stomachs don't hurt anymore, really, we're all better! Forget about surgery, it's just food poisoning, why did you have to cut them open? This isn't just quack medicine, it's outright murder for money. No, it's not even murder for money, it's blatantly taking lives!" The team member was almost in tears.

"Don't worry, I'm very confident in my medical skills. I'll definitely suture the wound perfectly, and it won't even leave a scar." Kamishirokawa approached step by step, knife in hand.

Just how much do you want to practice on someone?

These team members were on the verge of tears, trembling all over, and finally roared with all their might.

"Captain Unohana! Help!"

A moment later, the team members who had eaten something bad received a bottle of antidote. Unohana, with a gentle smile, said to them, "After taking the medicine, you can't drink alcohol for the next few days, and you should eat a light diet. You'll be fine in two or three days. Go back now!"

"Thank you so much Captain Unohana, for saving our lives!" The members of the 11th Division were deeply grateful, after all, their stomachs had almost been cut open.

Kamishirokawa's "medical license" has been temporarily revoked by Unohana, and he is currently being held in a small dark room.

Kamishirokawa squatted in the corner, muttering to himself incessantly.

"Mr. Kamishirokawa." Unohana's voice came very gently, but Kamishirokawa was so startled that he jumped.

When Captain Unohana shows this expression, it means she is extremely angry.

"If I remember correctly, as an intern, you're not qualified to conduct consultations. Why did you take it upon yourself to come to the front?" Unohana pulled out a large stack of medical books and piled them in front of Kamishirokawa: "Copy each of these books ten times, understand?"

I know I was wrong, but next time... I'll do it again!

Chapter 176: Among the heroes of the world, only...

Ukitake arrived just in time to witness this scene.

Your Fourth Division is quite fun.

"Lieutenant Ukitake, is there anything I can help you with?" a female team member asked.

Jūshirō Ukitake was physically weak and often fell ill. He was familiar with almost all the team members here.

"I... cough cough cough, cough cough cough, both the Captain and I have caught a bad cold. Could you please get me some cold medicine? Also, our Captain is getting old and has a lot of back pain. Do you have any ointment to treat back pain?" Ukitake asked very gently.

Jūshirō Ukitake is very popular among the Gotei 13, but unfortunately he is too weak, otherwise he might be pursued by these girls.

"No problem, I'll go get the medicine right now!" The female team member went to the medicine cabinet at the back, took out some cold medicine and handed it over. "Take the medicine on time every day, and your cold will get better quickly. Also, this is a topical ointment. Tell Captain Sakurane Saizo Caizang to apply it once a day, and it will have a relieving effect. By the way, Lieutenant Ukitake, how old is your Captain? I saw him a hundred years ago and he still looks the same!"

The age of Sakurane Saizo is the biggest mystery. These young Grim Reapers often try to guess how old this Old Man is, but so far no one has been able to guess correctly.

"Well... I don't really know either! You go ahead with your work, I'll head back now," Ukitake said with a smile.

"Captain, I'm back. How are you feeling now? Do you want me to apply some ointment for you?" When Jūshirō Ukitake returned, he saw his Captain lying shakily on the bed, looking as if he would crumble at the slightest movement.

"Alas! Ukitake! Alas, getting old is such a hassle! I'm afraid my days are numbered," said Sakurane Saizo on the bed with a sigh.

Jūshirō Ukitake quickly reassured Sakurane Saizo, "How could that be? The Captain is still young and will live for many more years."

"You don't need to comfort me anymore. I know my body best. Even if I apply ointment, it's just a way to comfort myself. There's no medicine in this world that can fight against the passage of time!" Sakurane Saizo sighed deeply.

It is said that people tend to become more sentimental as they get older. Jūshirō Ukitake could only listen from the sidelines. He had been the Lieutenant for over a hundred years, and he knew his Captain's personality best. He was an old man who never gave up and would always be at the forefront no matter what happened.

But now this old man actually admits that he's old.

It seems there's something really wrong with his health.

"Ukitake, before I go, I can't let go of the Thirteenth Division. I've been the Captain of the Thirteenth Division for almost three hundred years. I hope that before I die, there will be a successor so that I won't have to worry about the Thirteenth Division anymore," Sakurane Saizo said softly.

"Captain, you're in great health. It's just a minor cold. Don't make a big deal out of it." Jūshirō Ukitake handed over the medicine he had received. "Please take this medicine quickly, and I'll apply some ointment for you after you finish it."

Sakurane Saizo coughed a few times, then swallowed his cold medicine and Hand Muff his aching lower back.

"When I was young, I was a skilled womanizer, known to all the young women and wives in the surrounding villages. It's a pity that now, if I were to run into any of my former lovers, I wouldn't even have the face to hold my head up!" Sakurane Saizo shook his head, seemingly reminiscing about his past.

Jūshirō Ukitake hadn't expected such a sensational topic to arise, and could only helplessly apply medicine to his Captain.

"Ukitake, if I were to step down, who do you think could take over as Captain? Let's Sakurane Saizo asked.

Jūshirō Ukitake casually said, "Among the younger generation, the most outstanding one should be Ms. Kirimaru Tsukishima. It is rumored that she has already reached the Captain-level."

"Hmph, Zendouji Yuuhin keeping a very close eye on this girl; she'll definitely not let her go." Sakurane Saizo sneered. "Just an heir? Why all the tension? She hasn't even abdicated yet, and she's already letting Kirimaru Tsukishima Kirimaru Tsukishima in all sorts of affairs within the group, practically grooming her as the next Captain of the 12th Division. Who can't see that?"

"Do you know Shunsui Kyōraku? He may seem carefree and nonchalant, but he's incredibly strong, definitely stronger than me. He's also meticulous and thorough in his work, and he's probably reached Captain-level strength by now. What do you think of him?" Jūshirō Ukitake asked.

"Shunsui Kyōraku? He is indeed a rare talent, and he is also a disciple of that kid Yamabuki. However, I'm afraid such a talent will not fall into my hands. Katoru Hatsunoya almost treats this kid like his own son, and he's practically telling everyone that the future Captain of the 8th Division will definitely be this kid." Sakurane Saizo.

"Well..." Jūshirō Ukitake pondered deeply. It seemed that all the talented people he knew had already been chosen by others. "I just remembered someone else. Do you know Shinji Hirako? He's a junior in the Fifth Division, currently working in the Staff Department. Although his strength is still weak, Yamabuki- Teacher has been training him, and he's bound to be a promising talent in the future. Should we try inviting him to the Thirteenth Division?"

"I don't believe that kid Yamabuki Chidori will release them so easily. If you want him to talk, he'd skin me alive."

Sakurane Saizo continued to shake his head.

Jūshirō Ukitake really had no other choice now. In fact, there were quite a few veterans in the Gotei 13, such as the 2nd Division Lieutenant, Hachisato, who was even more senior than him. He had been there since the Gotei 13 was first established and had even participated in the Wandenreich Invasion War.

Unfortunately, Lieutenant Hachisato's strength is limited. Although she is already quite old, she only has the strength of Lieutenant-level and cannot advance further.

Just as Jūshirō Ukitake was pondering whether anyone else could take over the Thirteenth Division, he discovered that his Captain's cloudy old eyes were staring straight at him.

"Um... Captain? Is something the matter?" Jūshirō Ukitake asked.

"Ukitake, don't you think you're perfectly suited for the position of Captain of the Thirteenth Division?!" Sakurane Saizo asked.

"Me?" Jūshirō Ukitake was stunned, then gave a wry smile, "My abilities are far from sufficient. I'm frail and sickly, and my strength isn't great either. How can I possibly hold such an important position?"

Sakurane Saizo excitedly grasped Ukitake's hand. "Ukitake, I have complete faith in you. Are you really going to just watch me die here? I..."

Sakurane Saizo brought here, his face suddenly turned purple, and he actually spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Captain!!!" Ukitake exclaimed in shock.

Chapter 177: Eat whatever you want.

"Captain! How are you? I'll carry you to the Fourth Division right now!" Ukitake said anxiously, Sakurane Saizo and grabbed Ukitake's sleeve.

"Don't go to the Fourth Division, they're all quacks. Go find Yamabuki Chidori right now, he's the only one who can cure my illness! Hurry!!" Sakurane Saizo purple and Ukitake hurriedly told the team members around him to take good care of their Captain, and then rushed to the Staff Department and found Yamabuki Chidori.

"Chief Strategist, something terrible has happened! Our Captain is dying! You must come and see him right away!" Ukitake said anxiously.

Yamabuki Chidori was drinking tea in her office when she heard the news and was completely stunned. Was the Old Man Sakurane Saizo, really failing?

Just last night, we were all having dinner and drinks together. This Old Man has an amazing appetite; he ate half a beef leg by himself, drank two jin of Wine, and even planned to invite a few pretty girls to drink with him!

How could it suddenly stop working overnight?
