A week had passed since the last battle in West District 23.
In the Fourth Division's Medical Squad, the way everyone looked at Rokugawa Yūsuke had changed, especially in the eyes of Natsume Ruruko.
“That…Yūsuke-kun, who has always been so proud, is actually asking the captain who was parachuted into our Medical Squad for advice?!” Miyagi Ryōden said in surprise.
“Hey! Ruruko! You should know something, right? After all, you seem to be the only one who can talk to Yūsuke-kun!” Oda Hanaha called out to the girl with the single ponytail who was in a daze.
“Uh…” Natsume Ruruko lowered her head, awkwardly twirling her fingers, “That…sorry, everyone! I'm just as clueless…”
“You're lying…” the chubby Takagi Junpei mumbled.
“Bang!” Natsume Ruruko directly delivered a critical hit to Takagi Junpei's head. “Urusai!!”
At this moment, in front of Genji Takamitsu's office, Rokugawa Yūsuke was asking Genji Takamitsu about the deep red potion.
“So…it's Soul-Supplementing Herb?”
“That's right!” Genji Takamitsu replied, “Soul-Supplementing Herb is just the main ingredient in this Soul-Supplementing potion. Other auxiliary herbs need to be added to fully unleash its medicinal properties. For example, Spirit-Awakening Grass, Moon Shadow Leaves, etc.”
“Clap clap clap!”
Suddenly, unexpected applause from outside the door interrupted the harmony.
“Alahala…as expected, as Kiyono-suke said, Genji-kun is very good at the properties of herbs! I didn't expect that those readily available herbs, under Genji-kun's concoction, could actually exert such tremendous medicinal value!”
“The captain is right! Therefore, Genji-kun is a talent we can't afford to miss in the Fourth Division!”
For some reason, whenever Genji Takamitsu heard the voices of Maki Kiyoshi and Yamada Kiyoshi, he always felt a sense of disgust welling up in his heart.
Especially Yamada Kiyoshi, after all, if it weren't for him, Genji Takamitsu wouldn't have chosen to join the Fourth Division so rashly.
Seeing Genji Takamitsu's slightly distorted expression, Yamada Kiyoshi didn't care, pretending not to see it and greeting him warmly, “How have you been in the Fourth Division these past few days, Genji-kun? I heard from the captain that your potion played an irreplaceable role a few days ago!”
“Tsk…” Seeing this somewhat insidious bastard, Yamada Kiyoshi, Genji Takamitsu couldn't help but turn his head and click his tongue.
At this time, Maki Kiyoshi said, “Genji-kun, the reason why Kiyoshi and I are here is actually to ask you for a favor!”
Genji Takamitsu was taken aback, and a bad feeling instantly arose in his heart.
Looking at the two deep-seated captains of the Fourth Division, Genji Takamitsu tentatively said, “What's the matter? If it's too troublesome, don't ask for it!”
Hearing Genji Takamitsu say such a direct refusal of work, Yamada Kiyoshi frowned slightly, his face instantly turned gloomy, and then he said unhappily, “Genji-kun, Maki Kiyoshi captain came here in person to ask you for a favor! Moreover, this is a request from the Captain Commander and two captains. I think you shouldn't say that!”
“Captain Commander? And the requests of two captains?”
Genji Takamitsu pondered over the meaning of Yamada Kiyoshi's words.
“It doesn't sound like a request from Maki Kiyoshi…”
If it were a request from Maki Kiyoshi, then Yamada Kiyoshi wouldn't discuss it with Genji Takamitsu, instead, he would do everything possible to solve the problem for Maki Kiyoshi, after all, Yamada Kiyoshi respected Maki Kiyoshi so much.
But now it's about “Captain Commander and two captains”, the combination Genji Takamitsu could think of would probably only be Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni and his two direct disciples, Hitsugaya Tōshirō and Kyoraku Shunsui.
Then, the request would most likely be about Hitsugaya Tōshirō's illness!
Hitsugaya Tōshirō suffered from lung disease from birth.
And when Hitsugaya Tōshirō had his first attack, his hair turned completely white in just three days, and he had to lie down constantly, and he couldn't exercise too much. In other words, Hitsugaya Tōshirō needed long-term rest for his condition to improve.
Genji Takamitsu pondered for a while, then looked at Maki Kiyoshi and said, “So…are you talking about Hitsugaya Tōshirō?”
Maki Kiyoshi smiled and said, “It seems that Genji-kun knows a lot! So, would you mind going with me to the Ukan-dō of the Thirteenth Division to take a look at Hitsugaya-taichō's condition? This is also Captain Commander Yamamoto's idea. Moreover, I also want to know, from Genji-kun's diagnostic point of view, how would you treat Captain Hitsugaya's condition?!”
At this time, Genji Takamitsu suddenly felt a fervent gaze from beside him.
Turning his head to look, Genji Takamitsu found Rokugawa Yūsuke staring at him blankly, his eyes seemingly shining.
And the other members of the Medical Squad also looked at Genji Takamitsu with curiosity, changing their previous indifferent attitude.
“Uh…”
Genji Takamitsu touched his nose and said, “Let's go take a look. However, I can't guarantee that I can cure Captain Hitsugaya's illness. After all, even you, captain, couldn't, right?”
Moreover, to be honest, the reason why Hitsugaya Tōshirō became like this wasn't caused by illness…the root cause was “One-Eyed King” Mimihagi.
While thinking about this, Genji Takamitsu was still saying such unconfident words. To avoid Maki Kiyoshi from seeing anything, Genji Takamitsu didn't look directly at Maki Kiyoshi's eyes filled with smiles, but instead turned his head to look elsewhere, afraid that Maki Kiyoshi would see anything.
However, it was clear that Genji Takamitsu was thinking too highly of himself. Maki Kiyoshi smiled nonchalantly and said, “Then, Genji Yonshoku, let's go!”
Saying so, Maki Kiyoshi turned and walked out of the Medical Squad, at the same time, she said to Yamada Kiyoshi beside her, “Then, I'll leave the affairs of the squad to you! Yamada Fukutaichō! Kiyoshi and I are going to the Ukan-dō of the Thirteenth Division.”
“Yes! I understand! Maki Kiyoshi Captain! Please rest assured! I will definitely handle the squad affairs diligently!” Yamada Kiyoshi bowed respectfully to Maki Kiyoshi.
With that, Genji Takamitsu followed behind Maki Kiyoshi and walked out of the Fourth Division.
“Is Captain Maki Kiyoshi…about to go out?”
As soon as he stepped out of the Fourth Division, Genji Takamitsu heard a gentle voice. He turned his head and saw that the owner of the voice was Aizen Sōsuke, the vice-captain of the Fifth Division.
Maki Kiyoshi smiled as always and said, “Ah! It's Aizen-kun! What brings you to the Fourth Division? I was just about to take our Fourth Division's Yonshoku Genji-kun to see the Thirteenth Division's Hitsugaya-taichō. If there's anything… ”
“No…” Aizen Sōsuke pushed up his black-rimmed glasses and bowed slightly, smiling and saying, “It's not something important, I can just ask Yamada Fukutaichō directly.”
Then, Aizen Sōsuke's voice changed, “However, since Maki Kiyoshi captain is taking Yonshoku Genji-kun to see Hitsugaya-taichō, it means Genji-kun's treatment methods are very skillful! Congratulations to Captain Maki Kiyoshi for having another capable subordinate! As expected of a long-time senior, your vision and foundation are truly admirable…”
Although he said so, Aizen Sōsuke's gaze kept on Genji Takamitsu behind Maki Kiyoshi.
