Death: This Death is a bit unorthodox.

Needless to say, given how much she expressed her desire last night, and her impatient nature, she certainly wouldn't wait until today to release it.

It must be said that sometimes having an overly keen sense of smell is not a good thing.

Smelling the scent left by Aozaki Mayuki, she remembered how she had made a mess of the bathroom last night.

Even Kiryu himself felt that it was a bit too much, thinking that he absolutely could not let Aozaki Mazuki see that scene.

Moreover, as the movements become more and more proficient...

She began to worry about whether she would become addicted to this behavior, and what if she couldn't quit even after Zhenyue left? That would be a problem.

"...It's all Mayuki's fault."

The enthusiastic older sister pouted her cute lips in embarrassment.

This was the most negative expression she could muster when facing Aozaki Mayuki.

Surprisingly, only the embarrassing senior was in the living room today.

Sunlight streamed through the window, reminding people that it was getting late.

The kitchen was filled with a faint aroma of food, indicating that a culinary feast had just taken place.

A carefully prepared breakfast was neatly laid out on my seat, clearly intended for a specific person.

This breakfast includes a bowl of steaming rice, served alongside a golden, crispy egg roll and a tender, juicy steak.

In addition, there was a large plate of tempting grilled seafood, emitting a rich aroma.

It was a rather modern Japanese breakfast, a result of that small modern country embracing diverse cultures.

But on this beautiful morning, where is Zhenyue... her favorite little Zhenyue?

Kiryu blinked her bright eyes, looking around, trying to find Aozaki Mayuki.

"Ah! Good morning, Kiryu."

A voice suddenly interrupted Kiryuu Hikifune's thoughts.

Shutara Senjumaru, whom she had been ignoring, was greeting her with a big smile.

Kiryuu nodded slightly in response to Shutara Senjumaru's overly enthusiastic greeting.

Then, she naturally walked to the table and sat down, ready to enjoy the delicious breakfast.

Without hesitation, Kiryu picked up his chopsticks, quickly grabbed a piece of steak, and put it in his mouth, savoring its deliciousness.

Her eyes were still scanning around, trying to find any trace of Aozaki Mayuki.

Where did he go?

Was it because I was too enthusiastic last night that I scared him away and he doesn't want to see me today?

Hmm... I should have been more patient...

Just as she was thinking.

She noticed movement in the room next to the living room and glanced in that direction.

Immediately afterwards, Kiryuki's face turned bright red, like a ripe apple.

She coughed, the sound clear and loud.

She accidentally choked on her food, a situation that was extremely rare for her.

"...Are you alright, Kiryu!? Here, have some soup!"

When Shutara Senjumaru saw this, he hurriedly took out a handkerchief and handed it to her, and slammed the miso soup he had drunk in front of her.

Yizhou Tongsheng didn't mind at all, and picked it up and gulped it down in one go.

Shutara Senjumaru looked at her, hesitant to speak.

She really wanted to tell Hikifune Kiryu that it was her miso soup.

Could you leave me some? Xiaozhenyue's miso soup is really delicious. Just a sip would be fine.

Shutara Senjumaru pursed his lips, watching Hikifune Kiryu enjoy himself, and couldn't help but swallow hard.

However, considering his seniority, he ultimately couldn't bring himself to say it.

Chapter 367 Dating

Kiryu was so surprised because Mayuki Aozaki was walking out of the adjacent room connected to the living room.

Aozaki Mayuki was shirtless, holding a bunch of colorful clothes in her arms.

If it were just Aozaki Mayuki naked, Hikifune Kiryu had actually seen her many times, so he was basically used to it.

But for her, who was eating at the time, this scene was far too stimulating.

As Kiryu watched Aozaki Mayuki's figure, he couldn't help but treat him as a delicious side dish, swallowing it along with the breakfast Mayuki had made.

Meanwhile, Shutara Senjumaru, who was also watching this scene, smiled awkwardly and held Hikifune Kiryu's bowl of miso soup, looking quite embarrassed.

"This little guy is really something. There's still a month left, but he insisted on picking out his best outfit today, which has disturbed my breakfast."

Shutara Senjumaru pouted slightly, as if in a huff, but anyone could tell that she wasn't unhappy at all.

On the contrary, she was clearly enjoying herself.

Kiryuki remained silent, simply watching her joyful expression.

Of course Hikifune Kiryu knew Aozaki Mayuki's character.

Although he was undoubtedly the most eye-catching kind of person.

But in reality, he is not someone who has a particularly strong pursuit of external appearances.

Outside of work hours, the clothes that Kiryu saw him wear most often were that shihaka outfit and the captain's haori.

Perhaps it is because of his outstanding appearance that he stands out no matter what he wears.

So he doesn't seem to care much about his clothes or appearance.

Simply put, no matter what he wears, even if he's covered in rags, he still exudes a unique charm.

No, rather, the girls in Seireitei would prefer someone dressed in tattered clothes or even barely clothed.

Kiryuki had no doubt that even without his current strength, this man could live a very good life just because of his face, and countless noble ladies would be willing to keep him at home.

After all, putting aside his inner qualities for the moment, this man's appearance is absolutely perfect.

While Kiryu was lost in thought, Mayuki Aozaki had already put on a new outfit.

It was a white fitted suit with a black inner layer, which looked elegant and handsome.

However, when she appeared in the same frame as the two older sisters wearing Zero Squad uniforms, she seemed somewhat out of place.

Shutara Senjumaru noticed Aozaki Mayuki's furrowed brow and asked carefully:

"Not satisfied?"

"I feel that a more traditional style would suit me better when I'm with you guys," Aozaki Mazuki chuckled.

"That's true."

Shutara Senjumaru looked at himself; his clothes and various decorations could only be described as "ancient".

Kiryu's gaze slowly moved.

Move from Aozaki Mayuki to Shutara Senjumaru, and then move back from Senjumaru to Mayuki.

The scene before her reminded her of the days seventy or eighty years ago, before she had even entered the Spirit King's Palace.

They were the same at that time.

They were talking about topics she couldn't understand, and she could only listen silently, completely unable to participate.

However, as time went by, everything gradually changed.

In Senjumaru's words, he had become increasingly vain.

She would also ask her questions like whether she looked good or had gained weight, things she had never cared about before.

When exactly did I become like this?

Perhaps it's when you become a part of Aozaki Mayuki's life, and Mayuki becomes a part of you...

Kiryuu knew very well that his heart and Aozaki Mayuki's heart had long been connected.

"...But my fashion sense really isn't that great."

Kiryuu murmured to himself, a gentle smile playing on his lips.

But that's enough.

Kiryuki knew that this was something he wasn't good at, and that not asking him was the right choice.

The outfit she was wearing, except for the haori worn over it, hadn't been changed in a long time; she had worn several identical shihaka outfits for hundreds of years.

Even so, for Aozaki Mayuki, as long as she sought to contact him, she was sure she would get a response.

She believed it with such certainty.

"Kiryu, what do you think? Which outfit looks better?"

Just as Kiryu was lost in his own thoughts.

Aozaki Mayuki suddenly appeared in front of her, holding several beautiful outfits in her hands.

He had walked up to me without me even noticing, so close that I could feel his breath.

"..."

Kiryu's lips moved, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Unlike Shutara Senjumaru, who was well-prepared and carefully selected his clothes.

He had been staring blankly at Maki the whole time, without ever thinking of doing anything for him.

Kiryuki's eyelids contracted slightly, concealing the slight annoyance in his heart.

Therefore, when Aozaki Mayuki blinked at him and asked a question, Hikifune Kiryu's reaction was inevitably a little slow.

"I don't know much about dressing and matching clothes. You should ask Senjumaru-senpai."
