The Unforgiven from Shinigami
Ding-dong.
The clock on the wall gave a reminder.
Nayura Amakado collected the latest issue of the Seireitei Bulletin and placed it on the pile of books next to her.
There were tall bookshelves on both sides, but they couldn't hold her books.
Every part of the bookshelf has a label, and those labels were not put on by anyone, but are all the will of the bookshelf.
This is the Great Spirit Book Gallery.
This place, which forcibly collects and records everything in the Soul Society, was created in the early years by the Tsunayashiro Clan and the other Four Great Noble Clans, and can be considered the strongest intelligence-gathering spiritual tool.
In other words, the intelligence capabilities are so detailed that browsing these files gradually becomes more difficult.
So far, all the intelligence is like a box, covered with layers of chains.
To access this page, multiple people need to agree simultaneously; if one person refuses, no one can see it.
This power was originally held by the Central 46 Chambers.
Right now, only Nayura Amakado, the chief scribe, is here.
The other sages' successors were worried that the situation was not yet stable and dared not come rashly, fearing that they would be beheaded by the prisoners again.
But the Great Spirit Book Gallery always needs someone to look after it.
At this moment, Nayura Amakado stepped forward; she liked to hide in a quiet environment and read all kinds of books.
At home, I'm often bothered by my mother or my silly older brother.
I might as well hide here; I can even get the position of chief librarian because I'm the only one here.
These were the conditions offered by that group of people.
Only at this time do they not insist on seniority and bloodline, and are willing to let the younger generation go first.
She thought she could stay here quietly and read, but she still encountered external disturbances.
"That silly brother of mine is such a worry." She muttered, jumped off the bench, smoothed out the wrinkles on the back, and strode out with her short legs.
She was not tall, only about 1.3 meters, dressed in gorgeous aristocratic clothes, with short to medium-length silver hair and delicate features, looking like a large porcelain doll.
"Phew," she gasped for breath, finally reaching the ground, where Punishment Force, the guard, helped her open the thirteen layers of defensive walls.
The intense heat from outside rushed in instantly, and the sunlight made the lake water sparkle. Nayura Amakado her hand and used her sleeve to shield her eyes.
As far as I can remember, it had been at least a month or two since I last saw the sun.
She let her eyes adjust gradually, then slowly moved her sleeve away, squinting her eyes, like a cat arriving at its new home, cautiously stepping into the sunlight outside.
"Phew." She breathed a sigh of relief, stretched out her leg, and took a big step towards the door.
The vermilion sedan chair was parked there.
According to regulations, unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter the area where the Central 46 Chambers is located.
In reality, the definition of "unauthorized personnel" depends on the individuals within the group.
But Nayura Amakado disliked such opportunistic rules, so naturally she wouldn't stop her palanquin at the exit of the underground council chamber.
She went outside, leaving the servants carrying her sedan chair behind; there were two other people standing there.
One person wore Shihakushō underneath a sleeveless Captain's Haori, which was not fastened, revealing the green lining of Chitose's haori and the Zanpakuto at her waist.
The other person wore a white robe with gold trim on the collar and cuffs, had long blue hair reaching his shoulders, and an indifferent expression.
"Thank you so much, Captain Shiraishi and Third Seat Michibane."
Nayura Amakado bowed very politely.
Shiraishi smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's my honor to serve such a lovely lady."
Besides, I get to go on missions with Miss Michibane, no wonder magpies are chirping incessantly on the branches when I go out."
"It's my duty," Aura Michibane. Ever since she left that basement, she hasn't gotten used to being around other people.
They didn't bother to learn basic social etiquette.
"Let's go then."
Nayura Amakado didn't continue the pleasantries and got into the sedan chair.
The palanquin bearers lifted it and began running towards the Second Division.
Shiraishi easily followed, his mouth never stopping, "Excuse me, how old is Miss Amakado this year? Is she over fourteen?"
Captain Shiraishi,
I am not a child; it's just that Spiritual Power affects the development of my spirit, which is why I appear as a child.
Nayura Amakado, being a girl, felt that her age was a matter of privacy and did not say it directly, but instead reminded the other party in a tactful way.
She's an adult now.
"Oh, a legal loli!"
Shiraishi was beaming with excitement. Soi Fon was petite, but still had some curves, quite different from the completely flat plains of Amakado.
"What are you saying?" Nayura Amakado curiously; it was a word she had never heard before.
Despite her extensive reading, she encountered a word she'd never heard before. "What does this mean?" she asked.
She asked again.
Shiraishi smiled and said, "The so-called 'legal loli' is a term used to describe girls like you who look as small as children but are actually adults, and can do adult things without breaking the law."
Nayura Amakado became increasingly curious and asked, "What kind of behavior are you referring to as 'adult behavior'?"
"For example, drinking alcohol, buying adult books."
Are there books only for adults? I didn't know that. Where can I buy those?
Nayura Amakado's thirst for knowledge is endless; she feels she has learned something very useful today while reading.
It turns out that books come in different sizes.
Weren't the books she read before considered adult books?
Shiraishi was a little overwhelmed. The innocent eyes that came through the lifted curtain were so pure that they couldn't be tainted by worldly concerns. "Hmm, I'm not too sure either. You're still young, there's no need for you to see those things."
"I'm not a child anymore," Nayura Amakado retorted, emphasizing, "I am the chief librarian in charge of the Great Spirit Book Gallery, and I am fully qualified to read the adult books you speak of. Please tell me where I can buy them."
"..." Seeing her so serious attitude, Shiraishi felt a headache coming on and said helplessly, "I really don't know, and you don't need adult books yet. You'll learn them when you need them."
Nayura Amakado's curiosity grew stronger, and she asked, "When will I be able to use it?"
Shiraishi replied, "You should be able to use it when you're about the same age as Ms. Michibane."
The curtains were drawn back, and he thought the other person had given up, but then he heard voices coming from the other side.
" Third Seat Michibane, may I ask, have you read any adult books?"
"No, I'm not interested in reading, and I don't know where I can buy those kinds of books."
Aura Michibane answered truthfully that she had been locked in the basement and had spent years practicing the basics of Fullbringer; her education was limited to literacy...
"Hey, you clearly meet the requirements to read adult books, but you're not interested? How about you buy them for me, and I'll give you double the money?"
She wanted to refuse, but then she saw those eager eyes and saw Shiraishi frantically gesturing for refusal in front of her, so she changed her mind and said, "Okay."
"Really? Thank you so much, Ms. Michibane."
Nayura Amakado smiled contentedly.
