"Something terrible has happened!"
While everyone in Seireitei was enjoying the cherry blossoms and the snow...
Within the Tenth Division, a woman with long blonde hair, a perfect figure, and an aura of stunning beauty panicked.
Because she felt the Spiritual Pressure that was being released freely in the air, a pressure that was all too familiar to her!
After a few months of carefree living, this glamorous woman once again recalled the fear of being dominated by the captain!
Yes, the beautiful woman in front of us is named Rangiku Matsumoto. She is the vice-captain of the Tenth Division of the Tōshirō Hitsugaya, who is on his way to train!
"Quickly pack these things up! Absolutely, absolutely do not let the captain see them!"
"That vengeful little dwarf will definitely kill me!"
Rangiku Matsumoto hurriedly tidied up the house. During the days that Tōshirō Hitsugaya had disappeared, she had been anxious at first, but after receiving a message from Rukia Kuchiki that Tōshirō Hitsugaya and Byakuya Kuchiki had gone to Sōgo Shihoin to train their Bankai, she stopped being anxious at all. Instead, she began to indulge her desires, drinking, drinking, and drinking some more every day!
Of course, she didn't just drink alone; she gathered a large group of drinking buddies, and they all drank together!
Drinking from day to night, and then from night to day again!
It has never stopped, day and night, without interruption...
Only today, when she felt the long-lost Spiritual Pressure of the captain once again from that cold air, did she finally recall just how terrifying Tenth Division Tōshirō Hitsugaya was when he went berserk!
Rangiku! You said there's something you're not allowed me to see!
Just as Rangiku Matsumoto was about to pack up, a slightly chilly voice rang in her ear.
"Oh my gosh~ Isn't this my dearest captain!?"
Hearing the incredibly familiar voice behind her, Rangiku Matsumoto's body trembled slightly. Then, still shaking, she turned around and looked at the little man behind her.
"Hehe..."
You said I'm your dearest captain!?
"That can't be right!?"
"Am I not just a wicked little dwarf?"
With a kind smile on his face, Tōshirō Hitsugaya spoke coldly to Rangiku Matsumoto, the chill emanating from his voice seemingly freezing Rangiku Matsumoto into an ice sculpture.
"Ah..."
Rangiku Matsumoto trembled slightly before finally kneeling before Tōshirō Hitsugaya.
"Captain, I was wrong!"
Rangiku Matsumoto looked at Tōshirō Hitsugaya with a wronged expression and shouted loudly.
"Um..."
Upon hearing this, Tōshirō Hitsugaya merely nodded coldly and said nothing more before heading towards the captain's room.
"Captain, no!"
Rangiku Matsumoto flashed to Tōshirō Hitsugaya's side, looking as if she would fight tooth and nail to make Tōshirō Hitsugaya door.
"Get out of my way!"
Tōshirō Hitsugaya looked at Rangiku Matsumoto and spoke coldly.
"I won't move!"
Rangiku Matsumoto's face showed a resolute expression, as if she would never give way, even at the cost of her life.
"I'll count to three. You know what will happen if you don't move aside!"
Tōshirō Hitsugaya showed no intention of indulging Rangiku Matsumoto and began counting numbers on his own.
"Captain~"
Rangiku Matsumoto, in a sweet, coquettish voice, began using her charm and affection.
"While you were away, they were staying in the team leader's room so they could handle things better. They have lots of cute little panties there. It wouldn't be right for you to see them like this, would it!"
Rangiku Matsumoto attempted to use tactics such as acting cute and charming.
"Three, two, one!"
However, Tōshirō Hitsugaya completely ignored Rangiku Matsumoto's tactics.
"Get out of the way!"
Tōshirō Hitsugaya used a Shunpo to bypass Rangiku Matsumoto and appeared directly behind her, then forcefully gripped the doorknob of the captain's room!
"No! Captain! You absolutely cannot look at what's inside!"
Rangiku Matsumoto roared and grabbed Tōshirō Hitsugaya's leg, shouting loudly.
"Snort!"
"I'd like to see just how many good deeds you've done while I'm away!"
Tōshirō Hitsugaya spoke, he directly opened the door to the captain's room.
When Tōshirō Hitsugaya, he was greeted by a nauseating, musty smell, a mountain of documents, and even more empty bottles than documents...
"..."
Tōshirō Hitsugaya was already mentally prepared. From the moment he left the squad, he knew that his beautiful vice-captain would definitely give him a surprise!
However, to Tōshirō Hitsugaya's surprise, this was even more of a surprise than he had imagined!
This is such a wonderful surprise!
" Rangiku!!!"
Tōshirō Hitsugaya's eyes seemed to be burning with raging flames. As the man who was the most skilled at playing with ice in Soul Society, and even the three worlds, it was truly an extraordinary phenomenon that his eyes could emit fire. However, at this moment, such a phenomenon was happening right in front of Rangiku Matsumoto!
"Let's run away!"
This was clearly not the first time Rangiku Matsumoto had done something so foolish; she expertly began scaling the wall and escaping!
"I'd like to see where you're going!"
With a roar, the air temperature in the Roaring Tenth Division barracks dropped a few degrees.
Meanwhile, the Sixth Division...
After returning to the Kuchiki Clan family compound, taking a bath, and changing into new clothes, Byakuya Kuchiki went back to the Sixth Division and silently pushed open the door to the Sixth Division barracks...
"Huff~ Huff~"
Inside the barracks, Renji Abarai was fast asleep at a table, with spilled ink and several blackened reports beside him...
It's clear that Renji Abarai stayed up all night yesterday and was so tired that he finally fell asleep.
"..."
Byakuya Kuchiki made no move to disturb Renji. He picked up the report beside Renji and began to read it line by line.
"Very nice..."
Byakuya Kuchiki looked at the reports and nodded slightly. There were no problems with any of them. Renji Abarai was already capable of managing a squad on his own.
"Team... Captain!"
Byakuya Kuchiki's praise startled Renji Abarai, who was sleeping. He woke up from his seat and immediately stood up when he saw Byakuya Kuchiki standing beside him.
"Report, Captain! I accidentally fell asleep while working; it's my fault!"
Renji Abarai apologized to Byakuya Kuchiki with practiced ease.
"Fine!"
After hearing Renji Abarai's words, Byakuya Kuchiki simply shook his head.
"Go and rest."
"I'm giving you three days off to recharge!"
Byakuya Kuchiki sat down in the captain's seat and addressed Renji Abarai, who was standing beside him.
"But there are still many reports that haven't been reviewed!"
Renji Abarai frowned slightly; he still had many documents to review!
"It's alright, I'm back now, just leave it to me!"
"Go back... and take a good shower!"
Byakuya Kuchiki looked at Renji Abarai, and then offered some words of advice.
"Yes, sir..."
After Renji Abarai finally decided to obey Byakuya Kuchiki's orders and left the Sixth Division's barracks.
After leaving his squad, Renji Abarai encountered several members of the Sixth Division.
"Captain Renji Abarai..."
Upon seeing Renji Abarai, the team members immediately stopped and respectfully greeted him.
"Um..."
Renji Abarai nodded slightly to his teammates and continued forward.
"Puff..."
The group burst into laughter immediately after Renji Abarai left.
"!?"
Renji Abarai turned around, looking at the team members with a puzzled expression. He didn't understand what was so funny about them.
" Renji!"
Just as Renji Abarai was wondering what was going on, a petite girl wearing a haori and with long hair walked towards him.
"Ah..."
"It's Rukia!"
Renji Abarai turned around, looked at the aggressive girl, and greeted her.
"Watch your language. Call me Captain Kuchiki!"
The newcomer was none other than Rukia Kuchiki, who had passed the squad leader test and was now wearing the Gotei Thirteenth Division.
Uh~
Renji Abarai frowned slightly upon hearing Rukia Kuchiki's smug words.
What kind of expression is that?!
"Do you feel embarrassed to call me captain!? Are you disrespecting the Kuchiki Clan?"
Just as Renji Abarai looked constipated, Ganju Shiba, dressed in a jet-black Shihakusho, roared angrily from Rukia.
"Ha!?"
Upon hearing Ganju Shiba's words, Renji Abarai Renji's expression immediately changed. He didn't understand why this guy who looked like an old man was getting involved when he was just joking around with his childhood friend.
"Why are you looking at me like that!? Are you upset with me!? And why did you paint your face so black!?"
Ganju Shiba glared back defiantly at Renji Abarai.
"You bastard..."
Renji Abarai's eyes were sharp; he felt that this kid was looking down on him.
" Renji..."
What kind of state are you in?!
"Pfft, hahaha..."
"Go look at yourself in the mirror in the bathroom!"
Rukia Kuchiki suddenly burst into laughter, as if she had seen something funny.
"Appearance!?"
Renji Abarai was taken aback. He gently touched his face and ended up with his hand covered in black grime.
"This is..."
Renji Abarai looked at his hands, recalling how Byakuya Kuchiki told him to take a proper bath, and how the other squad members smiled when they saw him. He instantly understood what was going on...
Damn it!
" Rukia, you go see Captain Kuchiki yourself! I'm going now!"
Renji Abarai cursed loudly and immediately ran towards his bedroom.
"What a strange guy..."
Ganju Shiba watched Renji Abarai figure and scratched his puzzled head.
"Let's go, Ganju!"
"Never mind him, let's go see our elder brother!"
Rukia Kuchiki smiled slightly as she watched Renji Abarai flee, then strode towards Byakuya's office.
"Yes, Captain!"
Ganju Shiba nodded slightly, following closely behind Rukia Kuchiki.
The two proceeded unimpeded straight to the Sixth Division Captain's office...
Bang bang bang!
Rukia arrived at the door of the captain's room and gently knocked.
"Enter!"
Upon hearing this, Byakuya Kuchiki raised his head.
"Brother!"
Rukia Kuchiki entered the house and greeted Byakuya Kuchiki.
"..."
Byakuya Kuchiki stared at Rukia Kuchiki Rukia silence for a long time, seemingly lost in thought as he looked at the clothes on her body.
"Brother, do I look strange in these clothes?"
Seeing that Byakuya Kuchiki remained silent, Rukia immediately asked.
No! That outfit suits you perfectly!
Upon hearing this, Byakuya Kuchiki shook his head repeatedly. He didn't find anything strange about Rukia's clothes; on the contrary, he thought they suited her perfectly!
"Brother, I've come for the banquet held by the Kuchiki Clan to celebrate my promotion to captain!"
"I didn't really want to have a banquet, but Grandpa said that as a member of the Kuchiki Clan, being promoted to captain means I have to have a big celebration!"
"I said I still need to ask for your opinion, after all, you are the current head of the Kuchiki Clan!"
Rukia Kuchiki couldn't help but laugh and cry when she thought of Kuchiki Ginrei's overjoyed reaction to Rukia's promotion to captain. Ginrei Kuchiki seemed to have already started treating Rukia like his own granddaughter.
"As a member of the Kuchiki Clan, becoming the captain of the Gotei 13 deserves a grand celebration!"
"Not only should we hold a grand and special event, but we should also mobilize all nobles!"
"We can't let outsiders think that our Kuchiki Clan is so poor that we can't even afford a banquet!"
Upon hearing that Byakuya Kuchiki had sought him out for this matter, Rukia Kuchiki's expression immediately turned serious. His attitude was the same as Kuchiki Ginrei's: he was determined to make the banquet a success.
After all, being promoted to captain is a major event for Five Great Noble Clans!
Not all Five Great Noble Clans have the potential to become captains of the Gotei 13. Every person who can become a captain is undoubtedly a valuable fighting force within their family!
"This..."
"Isn't it unnecessary to make such a big event?"
Upon hearing this, Rukia Kuchiki scratched the back of her head, looking somewhat embarrassed.
"It has to be that big!"
After hearing Rukia Kuchiki's words, Byakuya Kuchiki shook his head.
"All right!"
After hearing Byakuya Kuchiki's words, Rukia Kuchiki nodded slightly.
"Our Kuchiki Clan is one of the Five Great Noble Clans, a paragon of nobility!"
"If a member doesn't set a standard after becoming the captain of the Gotei 13..."
"What will other people think if that happens!?"
"You don't need to worry about this; I'll handle it."
Byakuya Kuchiki patted Rukia Kuchiki on the shoulder and spoke softly.
"All right!"
Looking at Rukia Kuchiki Byakuya Kuchiki felt incredibly at ease.
"You can go back now!"
Just wait for my news!
Byakuya Kuchiki got up and walked to Rukia Kuchiki's side. After speaking, he left the captain's room and seemed to be heading towards the noble district.
Judging from the way he looks, he's planning to put everything aside and properly prepare for his sister's promotion banquet!
Compared to Rukia's promotion, all other tasks seemed insignificant...
Byakuya Kuchiki has changed these days; he's become somewhat less rule-abiding...
