The Unforgiven from Shinigami
" Sister Rangiku..."
Isane Kotetsu opened his mouth, but he was 99% certain it was true.
Captain Unohana has been acting very strangely lately, constantly teaching her various Kaidō and herbal knowledge, regardless of whether she can learn it or not.
Behind this urgency is likely the realization that time is running out.
However, even with a one percent unwillingness to believe it, I still shouted in my heart, comforting myself that everything was fine and that it was all just my imagination.
The sound was so loud that it suppressed a 99% probability.
She tried to remain calm and started drinking and eating edamame, but she couldn't even taste anything.
Countless chaotic thoughts swirled in my mind, merging into an impenetrable darkness.
She wasn't sure what she was capable of doing.
Should we stop it?
What can stop it?
Isane Kotetsu wished she could be like Pisces, the protagonist in the novel " Pisces Pisces's Refusal," easily resolving all her troubles.
The reality is that she simply can't do it.
Isane Kotetsu thought about it, he suddenly felt very hot, as if he were standing in the sun, rather than inside the shop.
Coming to her senses, she realized she was walking down the street, the sun blazing down, making the ground gleam. "Sorry, Sister Rangiku, I was daydreaming. How much was that meal?"
Rangiku Matsumoto patted her back gently and said with a smile, "It's alright, you can invite her back next time."
Isane Kotetsu was suddenly moved to tears by this gentleness, and then, tears welled up in her eyes instantly as she choked out, "Ugh, Sister Rangiku."
Rangiku Matsumoto, who is usually carefree and hates trouble, showed no disgust on her face. She said gently and patiently, "Shoulder or chest, you can lean on whichever you want."
However, I still recommend the chest area; everyone who's tried it says it's good.
Isane Kotetsu was an honest person; he buried his face in her chest and burst into tears.
Tears flowed into unfathomable ravines.
Rangiku Matsumoto gently stroked the back of her head and said softly, "Okay, cry it all out and then we'll think of a solution."
Isane Kotetsu stopped crying, raised her head, and asked, "Can we handle this?"
"We can't control what happens between the captains; we can only rely on outside help."
Rangiku Matsumoto paused, her gaze drifting towards the outside of Seireitei. "I hope my unreliable captain can be reliable for once, right now."
" Acting Captain Shiraishi, huh?" Isane Kotetsu thought of that smiling, sunny face. "Can he really do it?"
Rangiku Matsumoto shrugged and said, "We can only ask him to give it a try. He boasted that he would protect all the beautiful flowers, so there's no reason to let such a beautiful Flower Wither Captain Unohana wither."
Isane Kotetsu a deep breath, wiped away the tears from her eyes, and nodded emphatically, saying, "After I finish work this afternoon, let's go find Captain Shiraishi together and see if he can help."
"Hmm." Rangiku Matsumoto nodded, appearing confident but inwardly uncertain. If Shiraishi chose to respect Captain Unohana's wishes, things would be troublesome.
Second Division, Punishment Force's underground prison.
The once quiet prison cells are unusually lively today, with a large number of people brought back from the aristocratic street.
Ryū Amakado was the one with the highest status.
He looked middle-aged, with a square face and thick eyebrows, but he lacked any honesty or simplicity; his brows were filled with an arrogant and condescending air.
Even when locked in a cell, he still held his head high, scoffing at the situation before him.
His father was a deceased member of the Central 46 Chambers, so he could be described as having a distinguished family background and enough capital to look down on any noble family other than the Four Great Noble Clans.
With a creak, the iron gate slowly opened, and the petite Soi Fon took off her Captain's Haori, revealing a military uniform and slightly pointed cloth shoes.
His eyes were cold and sharp.
" Ryū Amakado, you are involved in a rebellion against the Seireitei and have repeatedly organized illegal gatherings. The courtesans have already confessed."
Soi Fon stepped in front of him, looked up, and said, "If you reveal who's behind this, I might consider reducing your sentence."
"Pooh."
Ryū Amakado spat at her, which she easily dodged, and then said in an even more vile tone, "You lowly noble, a dog of the Shihoin Clan, dare to interrogate me?"
"Is that so? It seems you haven't realized your situation yet."
Soi Fon's face tightened as she walked to the rack and picked out a barbed iron hammer. "I hope you can hold out a little longer."
Ryū Amakado scoffed, "I am a member of the Amakado Clan. How dare you use torture to extract a confession from me? Be careful, or I'll report you to the Captain-Commander for abusing your power and forcing a confession out of me."
Soi Fon's cold face suddenly broke into a smile.
Ryū Amakado grew even more smug and said, "If you're scared and obediently kowtow and admit your mistake, I might consider forgiving you for arresting the wrong person."
"You really are used to the privileges and treatment of the upper-class nobility."
Soi Fon said softly, her eyes cold, "Unfortunately, from the moment you decided to rebel, you no longer enjoyed any of your former privileges."
Having said that, she raised the hammer in her right hand and gently struck Ryū Amakado's right thigh.
This lightness was in her eyes.
In Ryū Amakado's eyes, the hammer slammed down hard on his right thigh, "Aaaaah!"
A bloodcurdling scream, like a pig being slaughtered, rang out.
Soi Fon remained expressionless as she slowly pulled the hammer back, the barbs tearing at her flesh.
"Ahhh!" Ryū Amakado burst into tears, forgetting all the grand ambitions he had made at the party, and wet his pants.
Soi Fon pulled the hammer out completely, its stinger covered in flesh and blood, dripping blood onto the blue ground. "Tell me who's behind this, or I'll give you a good whack on the left leg."
Ryū Amakado hurriedly shouted, "I'll talk, I'll talk, boohoo, it was all Yūta Ishiyama of the Purgatory Trading Company. He bewitched me, saying that the Demon Fist Kaoru Tendō could help us kill Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto."
I was confused for a moment, that's why I agreed to his seductive words.
" Yūta Ishiyama..."
Soi Fon murmured the name, recalling the person who had visited the Second Division; it turned out to be Kaoru Tendō's henchman.
"I've confessed everything, can you let me go home?"
Ryū Amakado looked on expectantly. He felt he hadn't done anything wrong. He claimed he was plotting a rebellion, but the operation was aborted before it even began. At most, it was just an attempted rebellion.
Given his status as a high-ranking noble, a beating would be severe enough to send him home to rest.
"What are you thinking? You've committed treason and you still want to go home?"
Soi Fon dropped the hammer, turned around, and said, "Someone, take this guy to the Fourth Division to treat his leg injury, then lock him up in the Maggot's Nest."
"You can't do this to me! Soi Fon! I am the eldest son of the high-ranking nobleman, Amakado!"
Soi Fon didn't even turn his head as he walked out.
"Mother, Nayura, they will definitely rescue me!"
As they moved further away from the cell, the childlike cries finally faded away.
She stepped out into the sunlight and ordered the guard on her left, "Go to the Shiba Clan and inform Acting Captain Shiraishi that Kaoru Tendō is too busy to deal with him and is plotting to take down Captain-Commander Yamamoto. Tell him to get back here right now."
" Ōmaeda, you watch over here. I'm going to capture Yūta Ishiyama, the manager of the Purgatory Trading Company."
