Retsu Unohana's relaxation techniques enabled Shiraishi to dedicate herself to work with maximum enthusiasm the following day.
The heavy workload continued until September 15th, when the eight-hour workday was finally implemented.
Shiraishi stretched lazily, put his legs on the desk, struck a relaxed pose, and held his phone in both hands.
bite.
Nemu Kurotsuchi: "Did you ask for leave tomorrow?"
You Are the Wind, I Am the Sand: "I've already told Okikiba that I'll be resting tomorrow."
Nemu Kurotsuchi: "Okay, see you at Central Park in Kuchiki District. The scenery there is amazing."
"No problem."
Shiraishi typed a reply, explaining that his busy work schedule these past few days had meant he didn't see them much during the day, and they usually chatted Heart Window.
The messages are mostly sent during the off-get off work hours.
Soi Fon: "Pervert."
Soi Fon: "Image."
Before he could even exit the chat window, another message came in. Shiraishi opened the message; the picture was of a pair of small, delicate feet encased in purple stockings, accompanied by the words "Step on you" in black.
At first, Shiraishi wanted to save similar pictures of beautiful feet, but now he thinks about how the other person sends them every day and his phone doesn't have enough memory, so he gave up the idea of saving them.
Despite her seemingly serious demeanor, Soi Fon chatted very openly on Heart Window, as if they could say anything without ever meeting. But when they actually met, she blushed and selectively forgot the messages Heart Window had sent.
Shiraishi retrieved the emoji he made yesterday and clicked send.
A slight hardening, as a sign of respect, eight large black characters paired with a black tent.
Soi Fon: "Wow, I don't believe it, are you that big?"
"I'll take a picture and show it to you."
Shiraishi replied, and then there was a knock at the door. "Come in."
A man pushed a food cart into the room and said, " Captain-Commander, this is today's lunch."
"Thank you for your help," Shiraishi said. The other person bowed and turned to leave the office.
His phone kept ringing.
Soi Fon: "Go ahead and send it, if you're so capable, send it!" Nelliel: "Honey~ Time to play games online, you have to spend quality time with me today." Tier Harribel: "This is today's lunch."
Nemu Kurotsuchi: "Which of these clothes do you think I should wear?"
Shiraishi was already used to it, replying to each one. Thinking of Retsu's shy appearance, she sent the photo to Soi Fon, told Nelliel it was no problem, praised Tier Harribel's lunch as very sumptuous, but suggested that next time she took the photo, she should include herself in the picture.
He felt like he missed three autumns if he didn't see someone for a day.
Nemu posted too many pictures; all he could say was that every single one was beautiful.
After replying to all of these, he immediately logged into the game.
Nelliel loves playing Audition Online, which has five-player and three-player modes, as well as one-on-one battles. She has spent a lot of money on the game, and each character has gorgeous outfits.
Shiraishi didn't spend any money on the game, yet he experienced the joy of being pampered by a rich woman; all his clothes were given to him by Nelliel.
He started eating with one hand.
With his fast hands and sharp eyesight, he can juggle eating, playing games, and chatting without any pressure, and even increase the number of people he can Kūkaku with.
That person was very boastful in World of the Living, but became taciturn online. He basically didn't send messages, wouldn't initiate messages, and often didn't reply to messages.
When Kūkaku is busy, she always finds her phone in the way and puts it aside, so sending more messages is pointless.
Her eating habits were very irregular, which was not a good habit. He would bombard her with messages to make sure she had eaten on time.
She didn't reply, so she must be done with work. I'll give her a good talking to on Monday.
Children who misbehave should be spanked.
Isane and Lie were the ones he messaged the least; they lived too close to each other.
If Shiraishi chats with both of them, it will easily pique Retsu's interest. Given Isane's personality, she simply won't be able to keep the chat history from Retsu.
In that case, Shiraishi would probably be killed on the spot.
Moreover, when chatting, you definitely need to make the other person think that you are only chatting with me.
Even if you're being sincere when you chat with several people at the same time, they'll still perceive it as insincerity.
For the reasons mentioned above, he rarely chatted with Isane and Lie during the day unless they initiated the conversation.
He'll reply instantly, and we can talk about anything and everything.
He could even talk enthusiastically about the shapes of the clouds drifting in the sky.
Such communication usually ends at 12:30, but today it was extended until 2:00 PM before the phone finally stopped ringing.
Shiraishi stretched and unplugged the charger; the battery wouldn't last long if he didn't chat while charging.
Genshirō Okikiba finished his lunch break, he pushed open the door and entered, saying, " Captain-Commander Shiraishi, there's a complaint here that requires your personal attention."
"Whom should we complain about?"
Shiraishi asked curiously.
Genshirō Okikiba spoke up, "Regarding the complaints about the 11th Division Zaraki District, the members are always getting drunk, running up debts, and fighting in the streets. Several people have already been implicated."
Shiraishi looked at the records in the document and felt a surge of anger. "I'm working myself to the bone every day, and these guys are either drinking or fighting. They're living a more carefree life than me, the Captain-Commander?"
" Okikiba, can you take care of this for a bit? I'll be right back."
Genshirō Okikiba said, "I don't really recommend using force to teach them a lesson. The 11th Division is a combat unit, and excessive suppression would be detrimental to regional stability."
Shiraishi thought about it and felt that it made some sense.
The current Gotei 13 is severely understaffed; its original full strength was 6,500 soldiers, but now it has only 1,900.
The Third Division, Ninth Division, and Twelfth Division are relatively well-preserved, with 1,300 members.
The other divisions were mostly crippled, Thirteenth Division fared even worse, with only four members remaining.
Captain Renji Abarai; Vice-Captain Lisa Yadōmaru; Third Seat Sentarō Kotsubaki; Fourth Seat Kiyone Kotetsu.
Without recruiting support personnel, even basic daily tasks cannot be completed.
The current Gotei 13 is no longer being managed like a military force, but has been transformed into a police station.
Maintaining public order and resolving various conflicts among residents within the jurisdiction.
Using force to deal with them will only bring temporary peace; to truly solve the problem, we need to address it from the heart.
Shiraishi thought for a moment, then had an idea and said, "I know what I'm doing."
"Yes." Genshirō Okikiba didn't say anything more; his duty was to offer advice, not to personally instruct the Captain-Commander on how to act.
Zaraki District, the headquarters of the 11th Division.
A large lawnmower was sprayed with bright red paint at the entrance, along with various other miscellaneous artworks, including depictions of night dew and bitterness.
They were less a regular army and more a shady group.
This was the first time Shiraishi had come here since becoming the Captain-Commander. He saw the cathedral, which should have been solemn, lose its dignity under the various graffiti and become somewhat incongruous.
The church doors were open, and a fierce clash of Reiatsu emanated from the inner hall.
He strode inside.
The scene was chaotic.
Some people were fighting with wooden swords, while others were drinking in broad daylight or engaging in hand-to-hand combat shirtless, completely unaware that someone had come in.
