Death: This Death is a bit unorthodox.

Aozaki Mayuki's feelings were somewhat complicated.

He stood up irritably, for reasons unknown.

"After we finish everything, let's continue. We must learn it today."

However, Shutara Senjumaru looked troubled.

Blinking her big eyes, she seemed a little embarrassed by the request.

Judging from his appearance, it's probably impossible for him to complete the mission.

However, he did not give up, but continued:

"Kiryu and I will teach you together. I refuse to believe that you can't learn something this simple in a day!"

…………

One day later, in the Zero-Fan Riden of Shutara Senjumaru.

Aozaki Mayuki and Hikifune Kiryu quickly finished their showers and walked out of the bathroom feeling refreshed.

Looking at that last guy, all hesitant and looking around every few steps, it seemed like he couldn't even walk properly.

Aozaki Mayuki couldn't help but express her disdain once again:

"What are you doing? The dignified 'Great Oarsman' usually watches the two of us with great interest, so why are you so ashamed to show your face now that it's your turn?"

"No, that's not it... I'm just not used to it. At least let me put my clothes on first..."

Shutara Senjumaru mumbled weakly, wearing only a bath towel and shrugging his shoulders in embarrassment.

In fact, if you look closely, you'll find that Shutara Senjumaru is indeed a true mature woman.

Although she is not particularly tall, her body proportions are excellent.

With long limbs and a graceful overall figure.

Apart from the difference in human nature compared to Hikifune Kiryu, he is almost perfect in every other aspect.

As an expert in this field, Aozaki Mayuki is extremely sensitive to the human body and has a keen perception and unique insights into the beauty of the human body.

So without permission, I picked out a piece of clothing for her to wear.

This is a long, purple patterned yukata, simple yet elegant. Wearing it accentuates her refined气质 (qi zhi - inherent quality/temperament), exuding a charm that rivals that of traditional kimonos.

It's worth mentioning that this yukata was found by Aozaki Mayuki in Senjumaru's room.

Why was Aozaki Mayuki able to enter Senjumaru's boudoir?

The reason is actually quite simple: the woman was so ashamed that she couldn't walk, so Aozaki Mayuki reluctantly helped her with this favor.

Looking at her masterpiece, Aozaki Mayuki nodded in satisfaction and said with a smile:

"Indeed, when the mood is right, one should cover up their body."

"Although a lot of parts are covered, this sense of mystery will inspire people's desire to explore. It is a perfect masterpiece."

"...So you little brat really have filthy thoughts in your heart?"

After hearing Aozaki Mayuki express her opinion without any reservation.

Shutara Senjumaru's slightly flushed face was filled with disdain as he hugged his arms in disgust, seemingly trying to keep his distance from Aozaki Mazuki.

She was forced to wear clothes that suited Aozaki Mayuki's tastes, and was praised in such a strange way.

Shutara Senjumaru, who rarely heard anything nice from him, was both secretly pleased and felt extremely uncomfortable.

However, she didn't actually dislike the yukata.

After all, even though she's been single for a thousand years, she's still essentially a girl who loves beauty.

She won't be unhappy about becoming more beautiful.

It must be said that Aozaki Mayuki has good taste.

Moreover, because of Aozaki Mayuki's straightforward and honest, fiery gaze, Shutara Senjumaru's feelings unexpectedly became quite complicated.

I can't bring myself to hate it.

Chapter 355 Not a God

This was the first time Aozaki Mayuki had praised herself so frankly.

Aozaki Mayuki is not a bad person, but he can't be considered a particularly good person either.

Shutara Senjumaru had known this for decades.

Although he can be a bit sharp-tongued at times, and his behavior is often considered excessive, he even seizes the opportunity to ambush you.

In reality, he is a very gentle person.

When he focuses on cooking, his serious expression is incredibly handsome; he's a rare sight indeed.

Although I sometimes say hurtful things, I actually tolerate myself when I'm embarrassed.

Moreover, despite his rather subtle personality and his undisguised ulterior motives, this frankness is not off-putting.

That being said, does he like girls who dress up a lot and are more conservative?

Thinking of this, Shutara Senjumaru couldn't help but lower his head slightly, examining his own body, his feelings becoming somewhat complicated.

Because she realized that her usual conservative style of dress could indeed attract the attention of Aozaki Mayuki.

At first, I thought it was because I was too charming, so no matter how much I wore, I would attract this little devil with no willpower.

But now it seems like she was just wearing too much clothing to cater to his preferences?

How about we learn from Kotori and dress more simply in the future?

That would backfire.

Thinking of this, Shutara Senjumaru blushed and quickly shook his head to shake off these messy thoughts.

At this moment, Aozaki Mayuki had already walked up to him, crossed his arms, and said:

"You still need to practice making desserts. Consider this your homework. I'll check it when I have time."

"Tch! I've already told you I'm not a child!"

Shutara Senjumaru puffed out his cheeks and muttered in dissatisfaction.

After a day, she finally mastered how to make tiramisu.

However, although it can be made, the taste is rather disappointing.

For food, if it doesn't taste good, it's tantamount to failure.

Failed products cannot be used as compensation.

Shutara Senjumaru slightly raised his head and looked at the face of the man who was a head taller than him.

Judging by appearance alone, no one in the past thousand years could compare.

Shutara Senjumaru stared blankly into thought, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly:

"What a strange man!"

She carefully examined Aozaki Mayuki and found that his features were exquisite and three-dimensional, and every part of him seemed so perfect.

His relatively casual yet carefree long hair gives him a unique charm.

Such an appearance would be popular with many people in any era.

However, Shutara Senjumaru vaguely felt that the most attractive thing about Aozaki Mazuki was actually his unique temperament.

Although he acted somewhat frivolously, he was by no means a rash person.

He always maintained a calm demeanor, which made him seem mysterious.

Most importantly, it gives people a feeling that something is genuine and real, even though it should be invisible and intangible.

It's as if you know that he's sincere in most things, and has always been so.

This sentiment has nothing to do with any words or actions.

It doesn't need to be proclaimed; the whole world knows it exists naturally.

Shutara Senjumaru couldn't help but think:

"Perhaps that's why Kokiyu and Retsu Unohana's group of women were attracted to him..."

As she pondered, she unconsciously lifted her chin, lost in deep thought.

So she didn't realize what was happening until Aozaki Mayuki called her twice.

"Hey, did you hear that, you senior who's been single for a thousand years?"

"Huh!? Why do you have to bring up something like being single for a thousand years! Seriously..."

Shutara Senjumaru's face immediately turned bright red, and he said with some embarrassment and annoyance:

"And all that 'senior' stuff is definitely a dig at me. Just call me by my name properly, you stupid junior!"

She quickly looked around and, after confirming that there was no one else in the room, breathed a sigh of relief.

While this is indeed true, even someone as composed as her would find it unbearable to be constantly reminded of it.

It was acceptable when she was with Aozaki Mayuki and Hikifune Kiryu.

If her subordinates heard this, would she, the Zero Squad Leader, still have any face left?

Although the divine soldiers respected her greatly, it was better to have as few people as possible know about the embarrassing incident.

Aozaki Mayuki knew this, which is why she kept making fun of her about it.

Seeing her shy demeanor, like a lady from a respectable family, Aozaki Mayuki couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly.

"To be honest, it's good that you have a sense of shame, but what's there to be ashamed of in this matter?"

"...Eh!?"

"So you're saying you've been single for a thousand years. That's not necessarily a bad thing, is it? After all, being able to suppress your physical instincts for a thousand years is much better than someone like me who can't control their desires, right?"

Aozaki Mayuki wore a very serious expression, making no attempt to hide her less-than-praiseworthy side.
