The Shinigami in the Unforgiven, Chapter 26: The Captain-Commander's Troubles, Morning.
The wind outside the blanket was a bit chilly.
The gloomy sky cast a gray veil over the room, and she sensed a sense of oppression, a stuffy feeling, as if a storm was about to break.
Her long Matsuge trembled, and her bright, clear eyes, like autumn water, slowly opened.
Beneath the light beige blanket, a head rested against a chest, devoid of its usual vitality, quiet as still water, seemingly lost in a sweet dream, still smiling.
He's just like a child.
Interests too.
Retsu Unohana recalled the first time she met Shiraishi; she remembered it was on a mountaintop.
At that time, she probably never imagined that the funny little devil would one day be sleeping next to her pillow.
Fate is truly wondrous.
Retsu Unohana gently stroked his black hair and chuckled, "You're still pretending to be asleep."
"Hmm, Lie, sleep a little longer."
He kept burying it in a place that could dispel the morning chill, and aside from Soi Fon, he liked to use it as a pillow when sleeping with Kūkaku, Nemu, and Isane.
For this, he was kicked off the bed by Kūkaku many times, but he still enjoyed it.
There's something I forgot to tell you: yesterday was a safe day for me.
Retsu Unohana slowly uttered a fact.
Shiraishi, who had been lost in thought about the lake, suddenly snapped out of it and glared at her, saying, "Are you kidding me?"
Her eyes crinkled into crescent moons with laughter as she cupped his face in her hands and said, "It's all because you were in such a hurry. You didn't even let me finish washing the dishes, nor did you give me a chance to speak, before rushing off to the kitchen."
Is today okay?
Shiraishi asked a question.
"Mmm," she looked up and whispered in his ear, "Today is a good day for a bountiful harvest."
Shiraishi's heart skipped a beat. He first checked the time, 6:30, then looked at her expression, which was like a mountain forest after the rain, revealing a hazy beauty. How could he possibly hold back?
This time, I'm determined to have a daughter.
The morning exercise lasted until 8:58 a. m., and Shiraishi didn't even have time for breakfast.
Retsu Unohana ate too much.
With different mindsets, the two went to the office to begin their workday.
Nine o'clock sharp.
Shiraishi returned to the Captain-Commander's office on time, bringing back three large baskets of documents as well.
With dark circles under his eyes Genshirō Okikiba pushed open the door and entered, pulling in a cart full of documents with a weary expression. " Captain-Commander, these are the documents that need to be processed today. There's another cart behind."
"Oh, that? I've been thinking about it, and we still need to trust the people below us to handle things. Cut this batch of departments, and transfer the remaining two batches to the Cabinet so they can deal with them within their authorized scope."
Shiraishi shrugged, not intending to waste his energy on these documents.
The saying goes, "To catch the thief, first catch the king." He first feigned weakness to lower their guard, then secretly had Soi Fon investigate who was behind it all.
Only by finding out who's behind this can we control this group of greedy people.
"Hmm." Genshirō Okikiba a sigh of relief.
When the Captain-Commander gets busy, how can he, the deputy chief commander, have any free time?
Obviously not.
He hadn't had a cocktail to perk him up for days, but today he was finally able to drink one again. He hauled away a truckload of documents, transferred them to the Cabinet, and then distributed them to various departments. Eventually, the number of documents left on Shiraishi's desk returned to normal.
He worked until 10:30, stretched, and instead of staying seated, stood up and walked towards the door. " Okikiba, forward the documents I approved on my desk to the various squads. I need to go to the Shin'ō Academy."
"Yes," Genshirō Okikiba replied.
The Shin'ō Academy was built in the eastern part of Unohana District. The original church there was demolished, and the Shin'ō Academy Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's preferences.
The walls look similar to those of Western-style buildings, rectangular, three stories high, with a roof covered in golden tiles, windows made of mahogany, and the interior corridors have the Shinto-style structure of a shrine.
Osmanthus trees are planted in the courtyard.
Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto liked these trees that stretched straight towards the sky, as they looked very spirited.
The newly opened Shin'ō Academy had only 3,653 openings, including the original patrol team from the Dark Forest.
Everyday tasks, such as meals, teachers' training schedules, equipment damage and requests, all required Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's attention.
It was anything but easy; it was incredibly complicated, even more so than the major issues he had dealt with before.
But Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto really liked it and threw himself into it with even greater enthusiasm than he had for his previous work.
Being in the position of Captain-Commander requires compromise on many things.
At the Shin'ō Academy, he wouldn't need to compromise with anyone and could follow his heart to teach these students.
For Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, nothing was more blissful than watching the future of the Shinigami grow stronger.
The wind chimes by the window tinkled softly.
Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto shifted his gaze from tomorrow's food report to what was in front of him. "What a rare guest! What business does the busy Captain-Commander have with this old academy dean?"
You dump all the trouble on me, and then you're here badmouthing me.
Shiraishi muttered a complaint, pulled out a chair, sat down, crossed his legs, and said, "Aren't you going to serve me tea yet?"
"I don't offer tea to those lazy bums who slack off at work."
Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto glared at him, his two white eyebrows rising.
Shiraishi picked up the teapot, poured himself a cup, and said, "I'm not slacking off. I came to you to discuss the matter of dealing with Gin Ichimaru. He made a great contribution to defeating Aizen."
Without his Bankai, I couldn't find an opening to attack Aizen.
When the topic came up, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto understood why he had come to him, and said, "You want to place the person in the Shin'ō Academy?"
"Yes, I asked Hirako, Yadōmaru, Ushōda, Muguruma, Kunan, Ōtoribashi beforehand. They all think that releasing Gin Ichimaru is fine, provided that he is kept under surveillance to prevent him from rebelling again."
Shiraishi paused, then said with a helpless expression, "The problem now is that Sarugaki and Aikawa are working as teachers at the Shin'ō Academy."
If she dislikes Gin Ichimaru Gin Ichimaru, she shouldn't let him become a teacher at the Shin'ō Academy.
Gin Ichimaru has undoubtedly made contributions, but he has also committed wrongdoings. He infiltrated Aizen's inner circle for many years and did a lot of dirty work.
The most serious thing is that the captain and vice-captain Hollowfication.
This is why Gin Ichimaru has remained in prison for so long without being released.
Shiraishi has been asking the Visored these past few days, Hirako and the others seem to be doing well, not being so sharp-tongued about the issues.
Hiyori is a bit troublesome; she has a fiery personality.
He hasn't asked yet, because he's afraid of being criticized.
" Sarugaki..."
Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto sighed and said in a resolute tone, "It's absolutely impossible."
"I knew it."
Shiraishi took a sip of tea and agreed with his view, "But if we want to release Gin Ichimaru, we should at least ask the victims for their opinions. I'll still give it a try."
Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto nodded and said, "Wait until noon. She's still in class right now and doesn't have time."
When Shiraishi brought up the topic, he asked about his brother-in-law, "How is Ganju doing?"
"That's good, ranking fifth among the sixth-grade students."
