The Unforgiven from Shinigami
Isane Kotetsu braced herself on the cool ground, raised her head, and slightly loosened her closed collar.
From Shiraishi's perspective, one can glimpse the true face of Mount Lu through the open collar.
"Cough."
A tactical cough interrupted her, " Isane, what's wrong? Get up and talk to me first. Lying like this, your chest is all visible."
"Huh?"
She lowered her head, her face instantly turning red. She hurriedly clasped her hands together, and her head kowtowed to the ground again. " Captain Shiraishi, this is what happened..."
After hearing the whole story, Shiraishi was a little confused. Unohana was going to teach Zaraki?
Isn't this plot a bit too early? Ichigo isn't even in sperm form yet.
He pounded his forehead, looked at Rangiku Matsumoto opposite him, and asked, "Is this true?"
Rangiku Matsumoto nodded and said, "Yes, it's information I heard from a friend, and it's absolutely reliable. It's just that there's a danger to their lives, which is based on our suspicions."
Shiraishi stroked his chin, feeling it necessary to clarify things to avoid any misunderstandings. " Isane, go back and find out what happened first, then we'll discuss what to do."
" Captain Shiraishi, judging from Captain Unohana's attitude, there's definitely something wrong. I'm afraid to ask."
Before he could finish speaking, Shiraishi interrupted, " Isane, this isn't something you can figure out on your own; we need to find out the details."
Why would Captain Unohana of the Healing Squad go and teach Kenpachi Zaraki of the Combat Squad?
"Team leader."
Rangiku Matsumoto felt his words were too harsh.
Isane Kotetsu bit her lip, making up her mind, and said, " Sister Rangiku, Captain Shiraishi is right, I'll go and find out right now!"
"Okay, ask around before you come back. I'll definitely help you."
Shiraishi reached out and brushed aside her light purple hair, saying gently, "So don't look so sad; it's breaking my heart."
winter.
My heart pounded for a moment, stronger than ever before, almost as if it would burst out of my chest.
The anxiety that had accumulated in her heart that afternoon gradually dissipated with the warmth of her cheeks and palms. Isane Kotetsu felt much more at ease, her face slightly flushed as she said, "Mm."
"Get up." Shiraishi reached out to help her up and personally escorted her to the door.
When he returned, he saw Rangiku Matsumoto with a complicated expression and said, "Captain, I didn't expect that you would also have feelings for Isane."
"What nonsense are you talking about? I just saw Isane looking so sad and wanted to comfort her."
Shiraishi rolled her eyes, thinking her thoughts were truly filthy.
Any normal man, if he saw a beautiful woman he knew looking sad, would choose to comfort her, if he had the means.
He just did what a man should do.
"Tsk tsk," Rangiku Matsumoto didn't believe a word of it. The former Captain Shiba was also frivolous, but only verbally.
This person does both talk and action.
Captain Soi Fon, Nemu, Kūkaku, and now Isane, and who knows who will be in the future? What a womanizer!
Rangiku Matsumoto thought to herself, picked up her glass, and said, "Never mind that, let's keep drinking."
"You should drink less and eat more vegetables. I'm afraid if you get drunk, you won't be able to give Isane any advice."
"Take your time, it's fine."
She's a fearless woman when it comes to drinking, not at all timid.
Shiraishi could only resort to his old drinking skills: dip his lips in the wine and finish a glass in one gulp.
They drank until dark, then turned on the lights indoors, and all the food in the food containers was eaten.
Rangiku Matsumoto's cheeks flushed slightly, and she slammed her hand on the table, saying, "Don't you think Captain Shiba went too far? He just left without saying goodbye, completely distrusting my abilities."
"Okay, don't be so angry, let's drink."
Instead of complaining about Isshin Shiba, Shiraishi raised his glass to urge him to drink.
Rangiku Matsumoto narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "How long have you been drinking this? You'd better finish it this time."
"No problem."
Shiraishi clinked his glass together, downed the entire glass in one gulp, then didn't pour any more, his eyes fixed on the open doorway.
The corridor outside the door was dimly lit.
A tall figure emerged from there, his eyes red-rimmed.
This proved she had just been crying; her expression was somewhat bewildered, like a lost traveler, and her steps were unsteady.
Rangiku Matsumoto turned around, quickly stood up and stepped forward, saying, " Isane, Captain Unohana told you everything?"
"Um."
Isane Kotetsu nodded, still not quite understanding. "So Captain Unohana was the First Kenpachi. Only one Kenpachi can exist in an era; that's the rule she set."
She said she didn't want to break the rules she had set for herself, and that if she were to fight Captain Zaraki again, only one of them could survive.
Her hopes were slim, but she still insisted on fighting; that was her belief, and I hope I can understand.
At this point, Isane Kotetsu was completely bewildered. "What should I do?"
Without asking questions, one might still harbor the idea of acting on one's own and causing trouble. But once the questions are answered, the whole story is understood, and Captain Unohana's resolve is revealed.
She was completely at a loss.
To interfere arbitrarily is to insult Captain Unohana's awareness and dignity.
Her upbringing and the rules she followed did not allow her to do that.
" Isane..." Rangiku Matsumoto lowered her eyes; it had indeed become like this.
When one person makes up their mind and takes action, what reason can another person have to stop them?
No.
Just like back then, on that dark night, she watched Yin's figure grow smaller and smaller in the distance.
The only thing I could do was follow behind and try my best to catch up.
The atmosphere inside the room became oppressive.
Shiraishi only knew that the plot had indeed moved ahead of schedule, and found their reactions baffling. He asked, "Now that it's confirmed, shouldn't we discuss how to stop it?"
Isane Kotetsu looked up, astonished, and asked, "Can we still stop it?"
"Isn't that obvious? Why didn't I stop you from kneeling down and begging me earlier?"
"But that was because they didn't understand Captain Unohana's real reason. Now that I understand, stopping her would be trampling on her dignity and awareness."
Isane Kotetsu, she felt increasingly surrounded by darkness, and she was on the verge of tears again.
"Then trample it!"
Shiraishi uttered some outrageous words without hesitation, like light piercing through the darkness before her eyes.
Unlike Isane and Rangiku, Shiraishi was not a true resident of Soul Society and did not believe that a person's consciousness and dignity should never be trampled upon.
Of course, he wasn't mocking awareness and dignity as useless things.
He also felt that dignity and awareness were worth risking one's life for.
But that depends on the person and the situation.
If it is to protect one's family or to fight bravely and die rather than retreat at a moment of national crisis, then that dignity and awareness shines brighter than diamonds and deserves respect.
To be honest, Shiraishi couldn't find a single reason to respect Unohana.
That's a stubborn older sister who's intoxicated by the aesthetics of death, so she chooses to wither away like a cherry blossom.
Isane Kotetsu widened, still unable to believe it. "That, that's Captain Unohana! Can we really do that?"
"Nonsense, what do you mean there can only be one Kenpachi in an era? Kenpachi Azashiro is still alive and well."
Shiraishi rolled his eyes and said irritably, " Unohana has just lived too long. Although her breasts are still firm, her brain has long since become rigid."
As pioneers of the new era in the Seireitei, we must be open-minded and bold, and not blindly follow the advice of the older generation.
These words were like a ray of Isane Kotetsu suddenly understood, and without further hesitation, asked, " Captain Shiraishi, what do you think we should do?"
"The only way now is for me to sacrifice my looks and use my charm to help her regain her will to live."
