Let's Go See Some Cute Girls / Some People Just Never Learn

"Chief Strategist Yamabuki Chidori, I'm giving you three days to rest. After that, you'll lead a team to Hueco Mundo to search for the enemy's trail," Yamamoto said.

"Yes." Yamabuki Chidori nodded.

This matter concerns the safety of the entire world. Even if the Captain Commander hadn't asked him, he would have volunteered. However, he didn't expect the Captain Commander to give him three days of rest. That's good.

After resolving everything, it was already night when Yamabuki Chidori returned home.

Upon opening the door, he found Unohana sitting on the steps by the entrance, gazing at the moonlight, holding a small wine cup in her hand, and inviting him to share a drink.

Yamabuki Chidori sat down next to Unohana, gazing at the tranquil moonlight, wondering when Soul Society would finally find peace.

"You haven't eaten, have you? I made you something to eat," Unohana said very gently.

Yamabuki Chidori smiled slightly. Perhaps this is what life is all about. No matter how hard or tiring life is, there is always someone at home waiting for you.

Suddenly, Unohana reached out and gently wrapped her arms around his neck. Yamabuki Chidori had no idea what she was going to do, so he could only go along with her strength, otherwise she might break his neck.

Finally, Unohana placed Yamabuki Chidori's head on her lap.

"I heard from the team members today that boys like to lie on girls' laps like this? Is that true?" Unohana asked.

Yamabuki Chidori was thrilled; it was a lap pillow!

Unohana's legs felt very comfortable to touch, probably because of years of exercise, her muscles were very resilient. Yamabuki Chidori carefully placed her hand on Unohana's knee, and only felt at ease after confirming that the other party did not resist.

Unohana looked at the boy in her arms with a gentle expression, and gently stroked Yamabuki Chidori's hair.

"I heard you're going to Hueco Mundo in three days. I want to go with you this time," Unohana.

"That works too. Anyway, the Captain Commander is enough to oversee Seireitei," Yamabuki Chidori said.

In this era, apart from Ichibē Hyōsube in the heavens, no one could keep Captain Commander Yamamoto in check.

Yamabuki Chidori gently turned over and then hugged Unohana's waist. Unohana stiffened slightly for a moment, but quickly got used to the feeling and gently stroked Yamabuki Chidori's head as if comforting a child.

"I know you like to act cute with me, but if you don't get up to eat soon, the food will get cold. Do you like food that has been reheated?" Unohana said in a very doting tone.

"Let me hug you for three more minutes, just three minutes."

Unohana smiled helplessly, her lips pursed. She was very reliable in battle, but in daily life she was like a child who never grew up.

Yamabuki Chidori clung to Unohana's arms for a full three minutes before reluctantly getting up to eat.

Under Unohana's watchful gaze, Yamabuki Chidori picked up a piece of green vegetable and put it in her mouth, then...

"Puff!!!!"

Fire burst from Yamabuki Chidori's mouth!

"Spicy spicy spicy spicy spicy!!!"

I was so stupid!

How could I forget that this woman always adds a ton of chili peppers when she cooks?

She deliberately threw herself at me to lower my guard, just to mess with me!

Sure enough, Unohana covered her mouth and kept laughing.

It was another tough day.

For the next three Yamabuki Chidori will be on holiday, allowing her to relax and slack off at home.

Unohana goes to work for the 11th Division.

And he was smiling happily the whole way.

The members of the 11th Division were secretly wondering what was wrong with their Captain today. Had he found some money on his way to work?

"Hey, I heard the Captain and the Chief Strategist have been living together. I've long suspected their relationship is something else. Could it be that last night...?"

"You mean, the two of them..."

The two team members were racking their brains trying to guess.

Unohana appeared silently behind them. "What are you saying?"

"Team... Captain! Didn't say anything, just discussed where to carry out the mission today?"

"Everyone, take a day off today. It's important to recharge. Go have some fun!" Unohana said.

The Captain is in a great mood today! He actually gave everyone the day off!

Yamabuki Chidori originally wanted to sleep in.

But when he was at work, he always felt he didn't get enough sleep. Today he didn't have to go to work, and he couldn't fall asleep early in the morning. He stared at the ceiling with his big eyes, and finally got so tired of lying in bed that he had to crawl out of bed.

"I'm destined to be a workaholic! Maybe I should think about where to go for some fun!" Yamabuki Chidori thought, rubbing her chin.

There's just too little entertainment these days.

Imagine this moment a thousand years from now. When you're bored, you can play games, watch movies, read novels, listen to music. What? Go shopping with your girlfriend? How could a shut-in possibly have a girlfriend?

He decided to wander around Seireitei, hoping to find something amusing.

"Oh! What a coincidence! Chief Strategist, it's been a long time!" A cunning voice, like that of a fox, rang out from behind.

Upon hearing that voice, Yamabuki Chidori felt a headache coming on, but when she turned around, she still put on a very standard smile, "We meet again, Tsunayashiro Fūka."

This Tsunayashiro Fūka, always disappears when something big happens, only to reappear once things are peacefully resolved. This happens repeatedly, and everyone in the Gotei 13 dislikes him. However, he did make contributions when the Gotei 13 was established, so the Captain Commander is too embarrassed to criticize him openly and can only turn a blind eye, pretending that he doesn't exist in the team.

Chapter 183: Let's Go See the Girls Together

"Chief Strategist, what brings you here today? You have time to wander around?" Tsunayashiro Fūka looked at Yamabuki Chidori with a smile. Yamabuki Chidori always felt that this kid had ulterior motives, but he didn't want to embarrass him, after all, they were colleagues and would see each other all the time, so he didn't want to be awkward.

Thinking of this, Yamabuki Chidori could only force a smile, "I'm off today. I can't work day and night every day, can I? I can't compare to you. You not only have a position in the Gotei 13, but you also have such a large family to manage."

Tsunayashiro Fūka's smile remained unchanged, seemingly oblivious to Yamabuki Chidori's mockery. She casually put her arm around Yamabuki Chidori's shoulder. "Chief Strategist, since you're off today, how about we go somewhere fun? I guarantee you'll like it."

Yamabuki Chidori coughed lightly. Indeed, compared to entertainment, she couldn't compare to the head of this Great Noble. These nobles always managed to offer something refreshing within limited conditions.

"Ahem, I'm not going to any improper places." Yamabuki Chidori kept glancing up at the sky, Tsunayashiro Fūka chuckled and tugged at Yamabuki Chidori's arm, "What are you talking about? Who goes to proper places!"

As she spoke, she dragged Yamabuki Chidori towards the outside of Seireitei, only to run into Hane Hane Chiyo halfway there.

Chiyo looked at the two of them suspiciously and questioned, "What are you rushing off to Rukongai for? Are you up to something shady? How could I be left out of this? Let's all go!"

Tsunayashiro Fūka agreed without hesitation, making Yamabuki Chidori even more curious. What kind of place was it? It had seemed so mysterious at first, but now it was taking a little girl who hadn't even fully grown up?

Filled with curiosity, Yamabuki Chidori followed Tsunayashiro Fūka to the Rukongai outside. Because the Rukongai near Seireitei were relatively safe, they were considered more prosperous than the outer Gomukui District and Kusajishi District, and there were many taverns. Tsunayashiro Fūka skillfully led Yamabuki Chidori and Hane Hane Chiyo to a tavern.

"Tsuna, we still have children here. What outrageous thing are you doing?" Yamabuki Chidori said with a light cough. Of course, deep down he was also curious about what kind of mysterious trouble Tsunayashiro Fūka was up to. At this moment, Tsunayashiro Fūka led two people to the second floor of the tavern, chose the best spot, and sat down. The tavern owner had already come over with a smile, "Sir, what would you like to drink today?"

"Anything will do! By the way, when does the show start?" Tsunayashiro Fūka asked the owner. Judging from their familiar conversation, Tsunayashiro Fūka was definitely not a first-timer here.

Hane Hane Chiyo looked around curiously. She had never been to Rukongai before. Unlike the Seireitei, Rukongai was bustling with activity.

After sitting down, Yamabuki Chidori took a sip of wine and had to admit that the wines of this era were not good.

In ancient China, flower petals were used to make wine, such as osmanthus wine, plum blossom wine, and even Wine offered as tribute from the Western Regions.

High-proof distilled spirits were only introduced to the Central Plains after the Yuan Dynasty.

The taste of sake in Soul Society these days is truly indescribable, like Cao Cao eating chicken ribs—tasteless to eat, yet a pity to throw away.

Tsunayashiro Fūka was still enjoying his drink, seemingly unconcerned. It seems that even nobles in this era didn't have many good things to enjoy; indeed, science and technology are the primary productive forces.

"What do you want from me all of a sudden?" Yamabuki Chidori didn't believe that the other party had called him here just to invite him to drink this tasteless, cheap wine.

With a knowing smile that only men would understand, Tsunayashiro Fūka said, "Don't be impatient, wait a little longer, just a little longer."

Yamabuki Chidori wanted some side dishes, but found that the food was also very meager. Well, life in Rukongai was not good to begin with. For example, on the table now, there wasn't even a dish of peanuts, only two small dishes of pickles, one was cucumber, and the other was pickled watermelon rind.

Seeing this, Yamabuki Chidori felt like crying. When I was a child, I would always cut a watermelon in half, one half for you and one half for me. I wouldn't eat the less sweet parts, like the rind.

They've been reduced to eating watermelon rinds! That's just too tragic!

No, after the Blood War is over, I must improve the food in this world, at least to make sure I eat well.

Tsunayashiro Fūka picked up a neatly cut piece of watermelon rind and put it in his mouth, eating it with relish. Yamabuki Chidori sighed and said, "I'll treat him to some meat sometime!"

Just then, Tsunayashiro Fūka suddenly slammed her hand on the table and exclaimed with a laugh, "Here they come!"

Then, looking down at the stage, Hane Hane Chiyo and Yamabuki Chidori were also drawn to it. First Squad young and beautiful women walked out of the stage, their flowing sleeves dancing gracefully.

These girls were already quite pretty, and their alluring dance moves and captivating eyes drew applause and cheers from the men on the first floor.

"I thought it was something special. It's just a bunch of women dancing. How boring. Do men like this kind of thing?" Hane Hane Chiyo said with a bored expression.

Tsunayashiro Fūka chuckled as she looked at the dancers below, saying, "You're still too young to understand. You'll see how interesting this is when you grow up."

As for Yamabuki Chidori, of course she would take a few more glances at a beautiful woman, since beautiful women were not common in this era.

Wait a minute, the owner of this tavern must be quite a character to be able to gather so many young and beautiful women; he probably has powerful backers.

"You're the one backing this shop, aren't you Tsunayashiro Fūka?" Yamabuki Chidori asked, looking at Tsunayashiro Fūka.

"As expected of the Staff Officer, you saw it at a glance. Indeed, I am the real owner of this shop. I've put in a lot of effort to gather these girls. So, do you like them? If you like them, I'll give you a few," said Tsunayashiro Fūka with a smile.

"Then forget it," Yamabuki Chidori said with a forced smile. If she took two dancers back, she would be hacked to death by Unohana that very night, absolutely.

Beautiful women are something you can just admire from afar. If you try to possess every beautiful woman you see, even the strongest kidneys can't withstand it.

Tsunayashiro Fūka smiled and said, "Don't worry, I understand. After all, you're a public figure. How about I find a place to take care of them for you? When do you have time..."

"No time. I'm leaving now." Yamabuki Chidori didn't want to get into any more complicated things with this person; he knew better than anyone what kind of people the Tsunayashiro Clan were.

There wasn't a single good person among them, from top to bottom.

Just as Yamabuki Chidori was about to leave, a commotion suddenly broke out below.

Chapter 184: There are always some people who don't have brains

Just as Yamabuki Chidori was about to leave, a commotion suddenly arose below.

Tsunayashiro Fūka could only peek down and wonder, who was so blind as to dare cause trouble on my turf?

On the first floor, several wandering samurai were staring intently at the young women dancing on the stage; one of them had even drawn his sword.

"They say the closer you are to Seireitei, the higher your standard of living, and it's true! Look how beautiful this woman is! Grab them all! One for each of you!" The leader laughed arrogantly, and his henchmen joined in the jeering. They lived a life of constant danger, and women who were slightly pretty but lacked skills couldn't survive in the outer Rukongai. Now that they were in the inner Rukongai, they couldn't find any pretty girls, and they were all as cooped up as turtles.

Seeing so many cute girls here, he stopped pretending and started grabbing them.

Their commotion caused the guests drinking on the first floor to flee in droves, fearing they would get into trouble. Only a few people were there to watch the excitement and weren't afraid of things getting out of hand.

Sitting at the very edge of the first floor was a man wearing a straw hat, drinking cheap liquor cup after cup. Seeing these bandits causing trouble, he sighed, "Don't these people have brains? Do they know why the area near Seireitei is so safe?"

Tsunayashiro Fūka wasn't angry when she saw someone causing trouble below; instead, she smiled and looked at the group of adorable girls below.

"Chief Strategist, maintaining order in Rukongai is also the responsibility of the Gotei 13. Aren't you going to take action?" Tsunayashiro Fūka smiled like a fox, and no one knew what he was up to. Yamabuki Chidori took a sip of her drink and said, "I'm off today, I don't care about these things!"

"Hahaha! In that case, I won't hold back." A sinister glint appeared in Tsunayashiro Fūka's eyes.

The tavern owner hurriedly stepped forward to stop the bandits, smiling as he handed them a plate of copper coins, "Gentlemen, leave some room for maneuver, so you might meet again in the future. Consider this money my tribute to you lords. These girls are all unfortunate souls; please have mercy and let them go!"

The bandit leader grinned maliciously and drew his knife, slashing at the tavern owner. The tavern owner was so frightened that he hurriedly covered his face, but nothing happened after waiting for a long time. When he looked up, he saw that the bandit leader's knife was only half broken.

Tsunayashiro Fūka was slightly taken aback and looked at Yamabuki Chidori Yamabuki Chidori shrugged and said, "I already said I don't meddle in other people's business. It wasn't me."

Tsunayashiro Fūka was even more surprised. If it wasn't Yamabuki Chidori, then who had come to help? The bandit leader's knife was now only half intact. He stared dumbfounded at the broken half of the knife in his hand, at a loss for what to do.

"Who? Who dares to ruin my plans! Step forward!!!" The bandit leader's forehead was covered in cold sweat, but he couldn't back down in front of so many underlings. He barked at the surrounding area, but those who dared to stay and watch the show were all skilled. They were all watching the bandit leader with the mindset of watching a monkey show.

However, Yamabuki Chidori's gaze was fixed on the man sitting at the very edge, wearing a straw hat.

"Boss, come up here." Yamabuki Chidori called out to the boss below. The boss was terrified and broke out in a cold sweat, but still hurriedly came to Yamabuki Chidori.

"What's the best wine you have here? Bring a jug of your finest wine and send it to that person." Yamabuki Chidori pointed to the man in the straw hat sitting on the edge.

Tsunayashiro Fūka's gaze followed Yamabuki Chidori's finger, but his strength was insufficient, and he couldn't see clearly what had just happened.

Was this the person who made the move just now?

"Oh right, let's put the cost of the drinks on his tab!" Yamabuki Chidori pointed at Tsunayashiro Fūka, since the entire hotel was owned by Tsunayashiro Fūka anyway.

The tavern owner didn't dare ask any more questions and hurriedly prepared a pot of his best wine to send to the guest.

The bandits watched helplessly as the tavern owner handed a jug of wine to the man in the straw hat, and they vaguely guessed that this man was the one who had ruined their plans.

"Guest, this is... a complimentary drink from our shop. Please enjoy it," the tavern owner said softly.

The man in the straw hat slightly raised his head to look at the second floor, and his eyes met those of Yamabuki Chidori.
