“K… ”
Genji Takamitsu clenched his teeth, his face showing displeasure at the flattery from Yoruichi Shihōin.
“Hehehe… How about this… From now on, Takamitsu-kun will be the leader of the Medicine Division! That means the fourth seat of Squad Four, you see! How about it? A compensation? If it was usual, Takamitsu-kun would have to spend quite a bit of effort to become fourth seat… But now with my confirmation, you can become the fourth seat officer of Squad Four directly…” Yoruichi Shihōin said to Genji Takamitsu with a narrowed smile.
“Oh…” Genji Takamitsu also narrowed his eyes and said, “Is this to shut me up?”
“Hahaha… Takamitsu-kun, you’re joking…” Yoruichi Shihōin laughed. “However, these things shouldn’t be known by most people, wouldn’t you say? Especially for the Genji Family who record these secrets, the Soul King’s duty bestowed upon you is to record and hide, isn’t it?”
Genji Takamitsu didn’t speak because he knew that Yoruichi Shihōin’s actions and words were all correct. From any perspective, now wasn’t the time.
Especially as Genji Takamitsu was born into the Genji Family, he had to shoulder the responsibilities of the Genji Family!
…
The next morning, at Squad Four’s official welcoming ceremony, Yoruichi Shihōin said, “…. Because Rōkawa-kun has reached retirement age! Therefore, Genji-kun, who has newly joined Squad Four, will take over Rōkawa-kun’s position as leader of the Medicine Division and fourth seat of Squad Four! Please give him your guidance in the future!”
As soon as Yoruichi Shihōin’s voice fell, the gazes of the many Squad Four Shinigami all turned to Yamada Seinosuke and Aogiri Aobird.
Originally, everyone thought that Vice-Captain Yamada and the third seat Aogiri would raise objections, but unexpectedly, the two simply smiled and congratulated the new recruit Genji Takamitsu before saying anything else.
This also caused those who were prepared to voice their dissatisfaction with the general public to fall silent.
Of course, everything that happened in the meeting was in Genji Takamitsu’s eyes.
However, Genji Takamitsu knew that his sudden arrival would definitely be picked on by those with ulterior motives! Even if the leader of the Medicine Division was just a logistical position!
As Genji Takamitsu expected, he was met with cold shoulders when he took over the Medicine Division!
“Uh… hello everyone, I’m Genji Takamitsu, please take care of me!”
“Ah… hello! Hello!”
“Hello!”
“…”
“…. Okay!”
There were only five people in the Medicine Division, and with Genji Takamitsu as the leader, there were six in total.
Everyone responded to Genji Takamitsu in a scattered manner, but they were mostly busy with their own things.
Seeing this, Genji Takamitsu didn’t show any anger, he smiled, then sat down in the seat belonging to the leader of the Medicine Division.
Since no one paid him any attention, Genji Takamitsu sat in his seat and looked through the work records of the previous fourth seat, Rōkawa-senpai.
The Medicine Division’s main work was twofold.
One was to prepare the necessary medication for patients who were currently undergoing treatment.
The other was to develop new drugs for new symptoms.
Therefore, taking over the Medicine Division was actually quite simple, just win them over on these two points!
“Uh… can you please give me some medicine?” A childish voice came from outside the door.
Hearing the voice, a man wearing black glasses impatiently said to the doorway, “Higashiyama Ayumi! I’ve already told you, your brother’s illness can’t be solved by taking medicine! You need to bring him to Squad Four as soon as possible.”
After hearing the man’s shouting, the little girl behind the door, who was rather small in stature, shuddered and said, “I’m very sorry… I… already…”
“Thump!”
Higashiyama Ayumi hadn’t finished her sentence, in the next instant, she collapsed at the doorway.
“Hey! Rōkawa! Is she okay?”
Another woman with a single ponytail said with some concern.
When Genji Takamitsu heard the name “Rōkawa”, he looked up.
Seeing the person, Genji Takamitsu muttered, “So that’s it… Rōkawa-senpai’s child…”
Rōkawa Yūsaku didn’t know that his subsequent actions were being watched by Genji Takamitsu.
“Tsk! What a hassle!”
Rōkawa Yūsaku seemed to be complaining about something, but his hands didn’t stop.
He walked directly to the doorway, picked up the unconscious Higashiyama Ayumi, and placed her on an empty bed.
“Ruryūko, bring the detection device over here!”
“I know!”
The woman with the single ponytail quickly handed the detection device to Rōkawa Yūsaku.
After a series of checks, Rōkawa Yūsaku frowned and said, “It still won’t work! I don’t know why, Higashiyama Ayumi keeps having this problem. Perhaps her brother’s condition is worse!”
Hearing Rōkawa Yūsaku’s words, Genji Takamitsu walked to the side and carefully observed Higashiyama Ayumi’s condition.
Higashiyama Ayumi was covered in cold sweat, her breathing was rapid, and there was a hint of coldness in her breath.
“This is… a soul deficiency?!”
Hearing Genji Takamitsu’s mumbling, Rōkawa Yūsaku turned his head to look at Genji Takamitsu.
Genji Takamitsu smiled politely and said, “Sorry! I was just thinking out loud! I don’t know if you need my help?”
There was no extra expression on Rōkawa Yūsaku’s face, he just said coldly, “What do you mean by soul deficiency?”
Genji Takamitsu smiled and said, “According to the principle of yin-yang harmony, the human body is yin and the soul is yang! Simply put, once the soul is deficient, the yin-yang balance is broken. Yin energy will invade the place where yang energy is lost, making yin greater than yang, which is why Higashiyama Ayumi is sweating profusely.”
“Then what should we do now?” Rōkawa Yūsaku asked again.
Genji Takamitsu smiled but didn’t say anything, and took out a bottle of dark red medicine from his pocket, handed it to Rōkawa Yūsaku, and said, “Give her this bottle of medicine to drink, it will take effect immediately!”
“Rōkawa-kun!” Natsume Ruryūko called out to Rōkawa Yūsaku in a low voice.
Rōkawa Yūsaku, after receiving the medicine, didn’t hesitate and directly opened the bottle, pouring the medicine directly into Higashiyama Ayumi’s mouth.
When the entire bottle of medicine was poured into Higashiyama Ayumi’s mouth, her whole body was instantly filled with a spiritual light the same color as the medicine.
“This is…” Natsume Ruryūko exclaimed in surprise.
While Rōkawa Yūsaku calmly watched everything unfold.
As the dark red spiritual light slowly merged into Higashiyama Ayumi’s body, her trembling body stopped shaking, and her body began to warm up, the cold sweat turning into heat.
“Ha…”
As Higashiyama Ayumi took her first deep breath, Rōkawa Yūsaku had already helped her up.
And Higashiyama Ayumi, at this time, slowly opened her eyes.
And the first thing she said after opening her eyes piqued Genji Takamitsu’s interest.
“Please help me… my brother is about to turn into an ice cube!”
When Higashiyama Ayumi finished her sentence, she realized that she seemed to have recovered?!
Feeling the long-lost warmth, Higashiyama Ayumi anxiously grabbed Rōkawa Yūsaku’s hand and shouted, “Please! Shinigami of Squad Four! My brother can’t hold on any longer!”
Seeing Higashiyama Ayumi, who was very anxious, Rōkawa Yūsaku nodded.
