Death: This Death is a bit unorthodox.

"I will soon no longer be the head of the Shihōin family. If you want to become the head of the highest-ranking noble family, you still have a chance if you marry into the family now. I can reluctantly become the head of the family and become the head of the family's wife."

"So, how about it, do you want to consider it..."

No sooner had she finished speaking than a fair hand grabbed the little black cat by the scruff of its neck.

"Yoichi isn't a good kid."

Turning around and seeing Retsu Unohana's gentle smiling face, Yoruichi Shihouin couldn't help but shudder.

"Sister Lie... I was wrong, I'll never do it again, please forgive me this time!"

Chapter 229 Protagonist

"Matsuki, Captain Yoruichi seems to be lacking in exercise lately. That's not good. I'll take her to the Fourth Division for a check-up. You can go back now."

Aozaki Mayuki stood in front of the First Division gate, hearing gentle words and cries for help that made her ears tingle, and watched as Unohana Retsu grabbed Yoruichi Shihouin by the collar with one hand, lifted her up, and turned to leave.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the white-haired kid standing at the door, clearly waiting for someone, so Aozaki Mazuki walked over.

The two walked side by side on the road, and Aozaki Mayuki softly asked her vice-captain:

"how do you feel?"

"It's alright, I haven't felt anything unusual yet, and my body is fine," Gin Ichimaru replied calmly.

He looked around to make sure no one else was nearby, then lowered his voice and continued:

"Me, Ryusui, and Izumo can only maintain this for a maximum of half an hour, but Shiro has successfully broken the sixteen-hour time limit."

Aozaki Mayuki nodded slightly and said:

"Keep up the good work. This force is very important to you, and the longer you can maintain it, the better."

"It can not only enhance your own strength, but also play an unexpected role at critical moments."

Knowing the power of this force, Gin Ichimaru secretly resolved to train hard and improve his control over it.

Only in this way can we better protect ourselves and those around us.

Aozaki Mayuki patted Ichimaru Gin on the shoulder and encouraged him, "Don't be too impatient. Cultivation is something that can't be rushed."

Gin Ichimaru nodded vigorously: "Yes, I understand!"

"Where's that tagalong?" he muttered.

Normally, when the First Division comes, Matsumoto Rangiku always pesters Aozaki Mayuki, and she won't give up until she gets Aozaki Mayuki out of the barracks. But today, it's rare to see her.

However, it would be troublesome if she were around, as she would always pester Aozaki Mayuki and chatter incessantly.

"I heard she wanted to take the day off again today, but Chojiro not only refused, he also used her as a negative example and is scolding her now," said Aozaki Mazuki.

"Serves you right," Gin Ichimaru said irritably.

He knew Matsumoto Rangiku was a lazy bum, but how could someone take leave every few days? Sasakibe Chojiro also had a temper, you know.

This is even worse than Aozaki Mayuki's...

Seeing Aozaki Mayuki's grinning face, Gin Ichimaru was instantly furious.

No, it's not as bad as Aozaki Mayuki. This guy doesn't even need to ask for leave to slack off, since he doesn't do any serious work anyway!

Why did I end up with two people like these?

He didn't understand, but he couldn't turn back, because this man was the reason he had lived until now. He was so unlucky.

"Little Silver, smile more often. No girl will like you if you're always looking gloomy," Aozaki Mazuki said with a smile.

"Ha ha……"

"Forget it, you'd better stop laughing, it's creepy."

"Who do you think this is because of?"

"I don't know, it's definitely not because of me."

…………

Late at night, in the Eleventh Division barracks.

A blond man wearing a white haori, led by a squad member, arrived at the captain's quarters.

He closed the door, took out a dark blue jade from his bosom, and placed it in another person's hand.

The blond man had tears in his eyes, as if he were saying goodbye to his lover.

"Don't exaggerate like that. It's like you have a deep affection for this broken rock," said Aozaki Mazuki.

Aozaki Mayuki pushed away the blond man who was tugging at her clothes.

If people saw two grown men pulling and tugging at each other, wouldn't that be a bad influence?

What if word gets out and the male team members start having inappropriate thoughts about me?

Dealing with those women every day was already troublesome enough, although he enjoyed it, but for a man, it was too much.

"I'm just trying to show you how important it is, so you'll take it seriously!"

Kisuke Urahara abandoned his unreliable persona and became serious.

"You must protect yourself well. If you fall into the hands of a truly wicked person, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

"Alright, alright, I know, I've heard you say that eight hundred times, my ears are practically calloused!"

Aozaki Mayuki waved her hand, then held up the jade she knew all too well and waved it in front of her eyes before putting it into her pocket under Urahara Kisuke's gaze.

"Are you relieved now?"

You absolutely must take this seriously!

"I see."

"You absolutely must not confuse this with the little gadgets I usually give you."

"Shut up!"

"Oh...but..."

Aozaki Mayuki grabbed his face and lifted him up, gritting her teeth as she said:

"If you keep spouting nonsense, do you believe I'll report you to the teacher?"

Why has this guy become so talkative?

"I made a mistake, please put me down first," Kisuke Urahara said, struggling to speak clearly.

Aozaki Mayuki glanced at him and let go of his hand.

Kisuke Urahara landed steadily on the ground, rubbing his face with both hands.

"You little rascal, that really hurts!"

"Who told you to keep talking?" Aozaki Mayuki sneered. "Stop pretending. I didn't use much force at all. I should have just crushed your head."

"How could someone as clean as you blow my head off with your bare hands? It's so dirty!"

Kisuke Urahara's comical face twitched slightly, not out of fear, but out of inner turmoil.

He realized that the man in front of him had become incredibly strong.

He hadn't been careless at all, yet he was still easily subdued by the other party with what seemed like a casual grab.

The two are clearly on completely different levels.

The stronger Aozaki Mayuki is, the safer the Hogyoku is with him. You can rest assured!

Kisuke Urahara opened his mouth: "About..."

"Huh!?" Aozaki Mayuki glared at him, clearly telling him to think things through before speaking.

"...I have an idea about 'Final Fantasy,' would you like to hear it?" Kisuke Urahara asked cautiously after considering his options.

"You have an idea?" Aozaki Mayuki asked suspiciously. "Tell me about it."

“I plan to design the protagonist of the series of games to resemble you.” Kisuke Urahara sighed.

Aozaki Mayuki was about to refuse, but stopped herself from saying it.

He's not a big star, and he's not short of money, so naturally he wouldn't bother selling his image as a product.

But then I thought, if this thing could become widespread in Seireitei in the future, everyone from royalty and nobles to ordinary people could have access to it.

When their daughters play games and find that they are the main character, if the main character's appearance is even slightly charming, wouldn't that be like helping them gain favor?

Genius! Kisuke Urahara is truly a genius!

"If we use your image as the main character, this game will definitely be in high demand and make a fortune!" Kisuke Urahara said, patting his chest.

He himself is not short of money, but as everyone knows, scientific research is an expensive endeavor, and the amount of funding available each year is far too little to accomplish. He must seize this opportunity to increase his income.

"How about this, we split it 50/50, and I won't take a cut from you. How about it?"

Chapter 230 The Unscrupulous Merchant

"I want it all!"

Aozaki Mayuki leaned close to Urahara Kisuke, raised one hand and made a "crackling" sound as if she were a claw, a perfect replica of Leopard Head from "Hail the Judge".

"This is too much. It's true that the game was your idea, but I'm the one in charge of its production." Kisuke Urahara pouted. "How about this, we split it 40/60, I get 40% and you get 60%."

Aozaki Mayuki squinted at him, gently shook her head, and said nothing.

Kisuke Urahara said with a bitter face, "Sanqi, this is the bottom line, there really can't be any more!"

"19".

"28".

"Deal!" Aozaki Mayuki said indifferently.

"You swindler! No wonder Kukaku called you a swindler." Urahara Kisuke realized what was happening and said with a look of indignation, "Is this how you do business in Rukongai?"

"Of course not, in Rukongai, it's all about fists." Aozaki Mayuki shrugged. "You can't win with words in a place like that; you'll just get beaten up."

"You should be glad this isn't Rukongai, otherwise I would have used my fists to deal with you." Aozaki Mayuki shook her head regretfully.
