“Please ask Qing Wu San Xi to help me put Vice-Captain Yashimaru Risa on the bed and let her rest! I have something to report to the captain.”
Hearing Genji Takamitsu's words, Qing Wu Qing Niao didn't hesitate and directly carried Yashimaru Risa.
Then, Qing Wu Qing Niao said, “The captain hasn't come back yet! If you have something important to report, you'll have to wait until tomorrow morning!”
“I understand! Then, I'll leave the rest to you, Qing Wu San Xi…”
After saying that, Genji Takamitsu dragged his weary body back to his dormitory.
…
Early the next morning.
Warm sunlight fell on Yashimaru Risa's face.
At that moment, Yashimaru Risa slowly opened her eyes.
“Where… am I?”
“This is the First Aid Station of the Fourth Division! Vice-Captain Yashimaru!” Qing Wu Qing Niao came to Yashimaru Risa's bedside and said.
“Ha…”
Yashimaru Risa yawned, stretched, and then looked around the infirmary, saying, “Where is Genji Yon Shi? Did he bring me here yesterday? I remember the last person I saw was him.”
Qing Wu Qing Niao said, “That's right! Genji Yon Shi brought you back last night. Right now, he's in the captain's room, reporting yesterday's events to Captain Unohana. By the way, Captain Kyōraku is also there.”
“I see! So, that place must be a place set up to collect souls?” Unohana Retsu sat cross-legged in front of the desk and said.
Kyōraku Shunsui sighed beside her and said, “It seems that… some people in Soul Society can't hold back anymore!”
Then, Kyōraku Shunsui turned to Genji Takamitsu and said, “Regarding yesterday's operation, and about Risa, I really appreciate you! Including the matter with Byakuya, I seem to owe you a big favor, Genji-kun.”
“It's nothing! Captain Kyōraku! This is what I should do! Besides, clearing out the Hollow horde was Vice-Captain Yashimaru's achievement.”
“But, wasn't it you who killed the last giant Menos Grande that appeared?” Unohana Retsu said.
Genji Takamitsu was suddenly startled, then quickly said, “It's not like that, we killed it together! It's not just my achievement.”
Genji Takamitsu didn't want to confirm the fact that he could kill a Menos Grande alone.
“Genji-kun…” Kyōraku Shunsui said in a low voice, “I know Risa's strength! Besides, didn't she collapse from overexertion of spiritual pressure and fall asleep? You were the one who brought her back in the end! No matter what, I still need to thank you.”
Since things had come to this point, Genji Takamitsu didn't say anything more, just said, “You're welcome.” and remained silent.
After all, saying anything more would be hypocritical!
Then, Unohana Retsu said, “Right, what does Captain Kyōraku think about Captain Yoruichi's proposal this morning?”
For some reason, Unohana Retsu mentioned something that wasn't within Genji Takamitsu's level of knowledge, even though he was just a Fourth Seat.
A flash of surprise crossed Genji Takamitsu's eyes, but he didn't interject. He knew that based on his position, he, as a Fourth Seat, wasn't qualified to interrupt his captain.
Kyōraku Shunsui glanced at Genji Takamitsu who was looking down, seemingly not focusing on the topic. Then he said, “A new captain nomination? I don't really have an opinion about it… But that person just graduated not long ago… although he was the Third Seat of the Second Division, this is still a bit…”
Then, Kyōraku Shunsui changed his tune and suddenly said to Genji Takamitsu, who was casually leaning against the side, “You think so, Genji-kun?”
Hearing this, Genji Takamitsu suddenly realized that these two were deliberately bringing up these matters in front of him. But why? Genji Takamitsu didn't understand.
“What do you mean, Captain Kyōraku?”
Kyōraku Shunsui chuckled, “Hehehe… It's better for Captain Unohana to explain it to you.”
When Genji Takamitsu heard these words, his gaze shifted to Unohana Retsu who was sitting in the main seat.
Unohana Retsu looked deeply at Genji Takamitsu, then slowly spoke, “Last night, at the promotion and farewell ceremony for Yechū Kirisaki, Hyōsube Ichibē, the leader of the Royal Guard, the Zero Division, specifically mentioned you.”
“What did he say?” Genji Takamitsu asked.
“Hyōsube Ichibē said that you are someone who brings a ray of light to the world. And he, who names all things in Soul Society, has such a high opinion of you, which made Captain-Commander Yamamoto particularly interested. Additionally, Captain Yoruichi also mentioned that your suggestion was to have Kisuke Urahara take over as the new captain of the Twelfth Division. Therefore, Captain Kyōraku and I, under the orders of Captain-Commander Yamamoto, specifically came to talk to you.”
Hearing Unohana Retsu's explanation, Genji Takamitsu was completely baffled, because he didn't know why he was being watched by Hyōsube Ichibē of the Zero Division.
Kyōraku Shunsui looked at Genji Takamitsu, who was silent, and continued, “Actually, Old Man Yama didn't pay much attention to what Hyōsube Ichibē said! What he cared about was why you mentioned making Kisuke Urahara the new captain of the Twelfth Division. This is our main purpose here.”
Seeing that Kyōraku Shunsui and Unohana Retsu stopped speaking, Genji Takamitsu knew they were waiting for his explanation.
Genji Takamitsu thought for a moment, then said, “First, because Kisuke and I are friends! Second, because the Twelfth Division, which oversees technological development, is suitable for him. I believe the Twelfth Division will undergo new changes under Kisuke Urahara’s leadership! Third, it’s because… in my opinion, Kisuke Urahara is the most intelligent person in Soul Society’s history for the past thousand years. I should say, Kisuke Urahara is a brilliant and extremely powerful talent.”
Kyōraku Shunsui looked at Genji Takamitsu with surprise. He didn't expect the person so highly praised by Hyōsube Ichibē to have an even higher opinion of Kisuke Urahara.
Kisuke Urahara is someone that all the current captains have met.
It's not that he's unkempt, but rather that he's unkempt.
And about combat strength, even if he's strong… after all, he's only a newly appointed Shinigami, how can he compare to veteran fighters like Kyōraku Shunsui himself…
While Kyōraku Shunsui didn't have any objections to this, Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni had strong objections to this matter. Kyōraku Shunsui didn't have any thoughts on this either, because Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni was just such a rigid person.
However, after hearing Genji Takamitsu's words, Kyōraku Shunsui's purpose for coming here had been fulfilled.
“Well, I should go back to the First Division to report!”
After saying that, Kyōraku Shunsui got up and prepared to leave.
“Please wait!”
At this time, Genji Takamitsu called out to Kyōraku Shunsui, who was about to leave.
Genji Takamitsu looked at Kyōraku Shunsui and said, “Since Captain Kyōraku knows about Kisuke Urahara’s application for the captain’s test, could you please recommend Kisuke Urahara? Of course, I would also ask the same of you, Captain.”
Kyōraku Shunsui and Unohana Retsu looked at Genji Takamitsu in surprise. They didn't expect that Genji Takamitsu would be so concerned about whether Kisuke Urahara would become captain.
