Kyōraku Shunsui pressed down on the straw hat atop his head, saying, “This is truly a headache… But, since Genji-kun said so, I’ll consider this as repayment for you saving little Sally and Byakuya.”
With that, Kyōraku Shunsui left the Fourth Division Captain’s room.
Meanwhile, Yoruichi Shihōin smiled at Genji Takamitsu and said, “So, Genji-kun, what are you willing to offer to get me to recommend Kisuke Urahara for Captaincy?”
“……”
No one knows what the two discussed, only that when Genji Takamitsu left the Captain’s room, his face was ashen and incredibly grim.
“Damn it… They’re treating this Shinigami like a draft animal…”
…
On the other hand, after checking on the Fourth Division members still recovering in the infirmary, Kyōraku Shunsui returned to the Eighth Division with his Lieutenant, Lisa Yadomaru.
“How was it? Little Lisa, did you enjoy being embraced by the handsome young man?!”
Kyōraku Shunsui chuckled, looking at Lisa Yadomaru beside him.
“Shut up! Captain! I’m so embarrassed! My spiritual pressure ran out, and a junior saw me like that! It’s infuriating!”
“PANG!”
Lisa Yadomaru angrily punched the wall nearby.
Seeing the crack in the wall caused by Lisa Yadomaru’s punch, Kyōraku Shunsui’s lips twitched. “Hehehe…”
Then, Kyōraku Shunsui said seriously, “Speaking of which, what do you think of Genji-kun? I mean, in terms of his strength.”
As for his personality, Kyōraku Shunsui already had enough judgment from the Kisuke Urahara matter.
Hearing Kyōraku Shunsui’s serious tone, Lisa Yadomaru said, “Though I haven’t been able to discern anything… I’m sure he’s hiding his strength!”
“Is that so? How about his medical skills?” Kyōraku Shunsui asked again.
“Apart from anything else, just the medicines he crafted, not only can they instantly replenish my spiritual pressure consumption, but they also briefly enhance my strength. This alone is something others can’t compare to!”
“Ah… I agree with that! Byakuya’s illness was cured by his medicine!” Kyōraku Shunsui said, “Right now, Byakuya can engage in simple battles!”
“What?!” A look of shock appeared on Lisa Yadomaru’s face.
“That kind of illness…!!”
Kyōraku Shunsui smiled slightly and then said, “Little Lisa, go back to the Division! I need to go to the First Division. There’s something important I need to discuss with Yama-jii.”
“I understand… You…”
“SHWAA!”
Before Lisa Yadomaru could finish speaking, Kyōraku Shunsui instantly vanished before her with a Shunpo.
When Kyōraku Shunsui reappeared, he was already in front of the First Division’s gate.
The Lieutenant, Chōjirō Sasakibe, was clearly waiting there for a long time.
“Captain Kyōraku! This way, please! The Head Captain is waiting for you in his office!”
“I understand! Lieutenant Sasakibe!”
Kyōraku Shunsui nodded, then silently followed behind Chōjirō Sasakibe.
“Knock knock knock.”
Chōjirō Sasakibe knocked on the office door, then opened it and said, “Please, Captain Kyōraku!”
“Thank you!”
After thanking Chōjirō Sasakibe, Kyōraku Shunsui walked into the office alone.
This was the highest point in the Seireitei. From here, one could see the entirety of the Seireitei.
Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, the Head Captain and Captain of the First Division, was sitting at his desk reviewing documents.
Kyōraku Shunsui walked a few steps forward and arrived in front of Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto’s desk.
“Teacher!”
Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto simply glanced at his disciple, without stopping his actions.
“The Fourth Division’s Genji Takamitsu, Fourth Seat… What do you think of him?”
Kyōraku Shunsui considered his words, then said, “From the information I have, Genji Takamitsu, Fourth Seat, is a decent person. He has good morals, values emotions, and is also quite intelligent.”
As Kyōraku Shunsui’s words fell, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto remained unresponsive, seemingly deep in thought.
Kyōraku Shunsui hesitated and asked, “Teacher… Why are you interested in him? Is it because of Zero Division?”
“Hmm… Not exactly!” Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto handed Kyōraku Shunsui the document next to his desk. “Take a look at this!”
Kyōraku Shunsui looked down and saw that the report read: “Notice regarding the transfer of Fourth Division Vice Captain, Kiyono Kotetsu, to the Gotei 13 Pharmacy Division as its General Manager.”
Kyōraku Shunsui’s eyes narrowed, and he quickly opened the document and started reviewing it.
A few minutes later, Kyōraku Shunsui stared at Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto with an ashen face and said, “Teacher! This… What are those adults trying to do?!”
The “adults” naturally referred to the Central 46, the noble elders.
Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto replied, “Based on the report, they only see the Fourth Division Vice Captain, Kiyono Kotetsu’s medical skills! After all, they can’t pry away Yoruichi Shihōin, who’s the Captain!”
Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto’s words were vague, but both of them knew those restless nobles definitely had other motives.
“So… Teacher means… you’ve agreed?!” Kyōraku Shunsui chuckled bitterly, then paused, seeming to think of something, before saying with a wry smile, “It seems so! Otherwise, you wouldn’t need to investigate Genji, Fourth Seat!”
“That’s right!”
Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto picked up a nearby teacup filled with steaming hot tea, took a sip, then stood up and walked to the window.
He looked out the wide window, gazing at the entire Seireitei.
“But is it too early… Let’s wait until after the appointment of the new Twelfth Division Captain. How’s Kisuke Urahara’s preparation?”
Kyōraku Shunsui replied, “Captain Yoruichi said he’s ready to begin!”
“Who are the Captains who will be observing?”
“The Second Division’s Captain Yoruichi Shihōin, the Fourth Division’s Captain Yoruichi Shihōin, and me!”
“I see… It seems Genji Takamitsu has established connections across the various Divisions… He’s only been graduated for such a short time, and he already has such a network of relationships?”
Kyōraku Shunsui nodded and said, “After all, Genji-kun is a special existence! As my Lieutenant said, just his medicinal crafting skills have already earned him the favor of many people.”
“How about Byakuya? How does he feel about this?”
“Byakuya has already begun to resume training! Recovering his battle prowess is only a matter of time!”
Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto turned his head and looked at Kyōraku Shunsui, saying, “Indeed! Just that skill in preparing medicine is enough to justify the words of the War God! So, we’ll settle it this way! Let’s announce the appointment after some time! By the way, in the afternoon, begin the Captain’s test related to Kisuke Urahara! You’re responsible for notifying everyone!”
“I understand! Teacher!”
After bidding farewell to Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, Kyōraku Shunsui returned to his Eighth Division.
