Next, Yoruichi Shihōin checked another squad member.
“Indeed… it's not an isolated case, it's widespread… these weak and powerless squad members must have had a small portion of their souls unknowingly removed, causing an imbalance within their souls!”
Thinking about this, Yoruichi Shihōin said to Genji Sōkō: “Genji-kun! Take a look as well!”
Hearing Yoruichi Shihōin say this, Genji Sōkō was slightly stunned. He immediately realized that Yoruichi Shihōin might have discovered something.
Therefore, Genji Sōkō didn't hesitate and went directly to one of the beds to conduct the same examination!
“This is… a soul deficiency! Although it’s only a small portion! But it will indeed cause an imbalance within the soul! Because it's only a small amount, it only manifests as weakness and powerlessness. If more was missing, they would become like the two Hichigo siblings.”
Thinking about this, Genji Sōkō glanced at Yoruichi Shihōin, and discovered that Yoruichi Shihōin was looking at him as well.
Genji Sōkō nodded slightly and said: “Captain… this symptom is the same as the two Hichigo siblings! It’s just that this is a mild symptom! Therefore, it only manifests as weakness and powerlessness.”
Hearing Genji Sōkō say this, Lisa Yadōmaru immediately asked: “Then, how do we treat it? Will they be alright?”
Yoruichi Shihōin smiled and said to Lisa Yadōmaru: “Lisa Yadōmaru Vice-Captain, no need to worry! Since we’ve found the cause of the illness, then we can begin treatment. They will recover soon!”
“Whew…” Hearing Yoruichi Shihōin’s assurance, Lisa Yadōmaru finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“Genji-kun, do you see…? ” Yoruichi Shihōin turned to look at Genji Sōkō, her face full of smiles.
Genji Sōkō naturally understood what Yoruichi Shihōin meant, and he could only say helplessly: “Captain, the all-purpose restorative potion you took earlier can treat them! Not much is needed, just one twentieth of the amount for each person! After all, their deficiency isn't that much!”
“I understand! Yamada-kun! You heard that too! So, I will leave these potions to you!”
As she spoke, Yoruichi Shihōin took out several light blue potions and handed them to Yamada Seinosuke.
Yamada Seinosuke respectfully said: “I understand! Captain!”
Similarly, Lisa Yadōmaru, as the Vice-Captain of the Eighth Division, also bowed to Yoruichi Shihōin. This was to express her gratitude to Yoruichi Shihōin for her treatment.
Just as Yoruichi Shihōin was about to say something, a Hell Butterfly flew into the Third Medical Care Facility. It came to Yoruichi Shihōin's side.
After a moment of silence, as the Hell Butterfly flew away, Yoruichi Shihōin said to Yamada Seinosuke: “Yamada-kun, I will go to the First Division for a meeting next! So I will leave the affairs of the division to you!”
Then, Yoruichi Shihōin looked towards Genji Sōkō, and said: “The potion that Captain Hiyori requested, is it complete? Give it to me! Perhaps in the future, Genji-kun, you may not have the chance to see Captain Hiyori Tōri again!”
“Has the time been confirmed?” Genji Sōkō was stunned, then said.
“Yes! It is tonight! Only the captains and vice-captains from each division will be attending the promotion ceremony!”
Hearing Yoruichi Shihōin’s words, Genji Sōkō didn’t think anything of it. Since this was the case, Genji Sōkō handed the already prepared "hot compression tablets" to Yoruichi Shihōin.
“These are hot compression tablets, made according to Captain Hiyori’s request! They can’t be taken more than twice a day! And they cannot be taken continuously in a short period of time! Please ask the captain to relay the method of using the medicine!”
Yoruichi Shihōin nodded and said: “I understand! Then…”
Yoruichi Shihōin leaned towards Genji Sōkō’s ear and said: “I will report this large-scale soul loss to the Captain-Commander, and I will propose that you and the Vice-Captain of the Eighth Division investigate together! Please be careful!”
Genji Sōkō nodded expressionlessly.
Afterwards, Yoruichi Shihōin gave some instructions to Yamada Seinosuke before leaving the Third Medical Care Facility!
Afterwards, Genji Sōkō had no intention of leaving. Anyway, he was going to investigate the task with Lisa Yadōmaru later. So Genji Sōkō stayed in the Third Medical Care Facility and helped Yamada Seinosuke give medicine to the squad members who were lying in bed.
When all the rescue work was completed, the people from the Retsu Division also arrived!
“Captain-Commander Yamamoto commands that Vice-Captain Lisa Yadōmaru of the Eighth Division and Fourth Seat Genji Sōkō of the Fourth Division are to go to the relevant location to investigate the cause of the large-scale soul loss among the squad members!”
“Swish!”
As the Retsu Division left, Genji Sōkō and Lisa Yadōmaru exchanged glances, then ran towards the Rukongai.
“Vice-Captain Yadōmaru, may I ask, where is the location you are investigating?”
Hearing Genji Sōkō say this, Lisa Yadōmaru said: “It’s in the West Thirty-Second District! Because we received a report of Hollows appearing! So I led the squad members to investigate!”
“Swish!”
Genji Sōkō suddenly stopped in his tracks, stopping in a forest.
Lisa Yadōmaru also stopped curiously.
“Genji Fourth Seat…”
Just as Lisa Yadōmaru was about to say something, Genji Sōkō interrupted her.
“I have a question! You said you led the Eighth Division’s squad members to investigate! Then, why are only the squad members having problems? While you don’t have any problems?”
Hearing Genji Sōkō’s words, Lisa Yadōmaru also became aware of this problem.
“Why…” A confused expression gradually appeared on Lisa Yadōmaru’s face.
Then, Genji Sōkō walked up to Lisa Yadōmaru and said: “I remember, Vice-Captain Yadōmaru, you haven’t been checked yet, right? I have an idea I need to confirm!”
“Hmm!”
With Lisa Yadōmaru’s consent, Genji Sōkō began to examine her.
Soon, the results of the examination were as Genji Sōkō had expected, there were no problems, her soul was complete!
“Third-Rank Reiatsu level… the soul is not abnormal…”
Thinking about this, Genji Sōkō asked: “Among you and the squad members you brought, are your strength and Reiatsu the strongest?”
Lisa Yadōmaru nodded and said: “That’s right! In the Eighth Division, besides Captain Kyōraku, my strength is the strongest!”
“I understand!”
Then, Genji Sōkō explained: “The squad members’ souls are deficient, while yours is not. This shows that the anomaly in the West Thirty-Second District has no effect on Vice-Captains and stronger individuals! This means that the mastermind’s target is those ordinary Shinigami squad members.”
“You’re saying…”
Genji Sōkō nodded and said: “Ah… I think the mastermind’s purpose is probably for those souls. Especially those souls with Shinigami potential. Although each squad member only has a very small portion missing, the number is too large!”
