Death: This Death is a bit unorthodox.

Kiryuki scratched his head awkwardly, a helpless smile on his face.

"It's okay, just kidding! Which outfit do you think would look good on me? Or which one do you like? I want to know your opinion."

Aozaki Mayuki looked at Hikifune Kiryu with anticipation.

Kiryuu frowned slightly, thought about it carefully for a moment, and then said:

Personally, I prefer the team uniform you usually wear.

Actually, she wasn't sure herself, but for some reason, the image of Aozaki Mayuki wearing her team uniform kept popping into her mind.

This image seems to better align with her perception of Aozaki Mayuki.

"As expected, Kiryu thinks the same way. Well then, let's wear our team uniforms on our date today."

Aozaki Mayuki nodded happily, a satisfied smile on her face.

"Hmm...Eh?"

Kiryuki suddenly froze, a look of surprise flashing across his face.

She thought for a few seconds and finally remembered what had happened last night.

Yesterday she asked Aozaki Mayuki for a day, and Aozaki Mayuki agreed.

Therefore, this day belonged entirely to him.

When they were lying in bed together last night, Aozaki Mayuki casually asked her if she wanted to go on a date today.

At that time, Kiryu Hikifune, who had just finished taking a shower and vented his anger, and whose mood had not yet calmed down, actually agreed in a fit of shame and indignation!

Aozaki Mazuki quickly changed his clothes, still wearing his usual Eleventh Division captain uniform.

With a faint smile on his face, he pulled Ye Zhou Tong Sheng, who had just finished breakfast, out the door.

Holding his hand, Kiryu followed closely behind him with hurried little steps, her heart filled with nervousness and anticipation.

"Take care, come back soon..."

Watching the two figures leave, Shutara Senjumaru was somewhat bewildered, standing dumbfounded at the gate as he watched them go.

"Eh... a date!?"

It wasn't until about ten minutes later that Shutara Senjumaru, who had been standing there dumbfounded, exclaimed in surprise, realizing what his two juniors who had gone out were up to.

Aozaki Mayuki and Hikifune Kiryu strolled side by side through the abundant forest of the Wabuton-dono, just like any other ordinary couple you'd see on the street.

They walked through the dense forest, feeling the gentle breeze on their faces and enjoying each other's company.

It sounds a bit strange to be strolling around in the mountains and forests with a beautiful woman by your side.

Generally speaking, this situation occurs either because the job is unusual or because of malicious intent.

But Aozaki Mayuki had no choice.

Although the Wotun Palace has a residential area for divine soldiers, life there seems exceptionally monotonous and dull.

We can't exactly take her to the Phoenix Palace to play with the Sword Spirit Sister, can we?

Even a shameless guy like Aozaki Mayuki wouldn't do that kind of thing with his wife.

In comparison, the wilderness is more appealing.

At least you can see some cute little animals here.

They not only bring some life to the place, but also become an important food source for the two of them.

Chapter 368 The Greedy Man

The overall structure of the Wotun Hall perfectly matches the characteristics of the Hikifune Kiryu.

According to her own words, none of the mountains, rivers, sky, or earth scenery is not meant to serve her ingredients.

However, Aozaki Mayuki felt that these views also served Kiryu Hikifune himself.

Kiryuki is the type who really dislikes dressing up.

Shutara Senjumaru would always wear light makeup whenever she made an appearance.

But Kiryuki was completely unaware of this.

Whether she's spending time with Aozaki Mayuki, attending the Gotei 13 captains' meeting, or participating in the welcome party last time, she's always the authentic, original Kiryu older sister.

Shutara Senjumaru once suggested that he teach her how to do makeup, and she asked her lover, Aozaki Mayuki, for his opinion.

Aozaki Mayuki said to her, "You're doing very well."

From then on, she lost interest in things like makeup.

Her unadorned, natural beauty possesses a unique charm amidst the lush greenery and sunny weather.

That's fine, and Aozaki Mayuki didn't intend to change her.

The reason is nothing other than that Kiryu Hikifune is perfect just like that.

Kiryuki possesses a pure beauty that is uniquely her own, requiring no external embellishment or alteration.

Her unadorned natural beauty complements the surrounding natural environment, making her a part of this beautiful landscape, and also the most beautiful part.

It's good that this girl continues to be her innocent self.

There's nothing wrong with being able to accept other things that can make you better, but Aozaki Mayuki also hopes that she can maintain this purity.

This is a somewhat contradictory feeling.

Seeing something as beautiful as Hikifune Kiryu, one naturally wants to protect it from being tainted by other things, and then selfishly wants to possess it forever.

This is the greedy man named Aozaki Mayuki.

However, his despicable nature seemed to be seen as a virtue by his lovers.

It's really strange that we don't know who caused the problem.

Around noon, beside a lake in a dense forest.

Aozaki Mayuki took out a bunch of picnic tools from the shadow space and made a delicious lunch for the cute little animals.

As expected, the wisps of smoke attracted the divine soldiers guarding the "city".

Upon seeing that it was Kiryu Hikifune and Mayuki Aozaki, they sensibly left after a brief chat, not wanting to disturb the two.

As he left, looking at the fully armed Divine Soldiers on his own territory, Aozaki Mayuki shook his head.

Kiryuki looked at him with a puzzled expression, blinking his big eyes.

Aozaki Mayuki explained:

"If Lie saw such a scene, she would definitely be very excited. Every time I go on a date with her, the first thing we clash with is knives and swords."

Kiryuu imagined the scene and couldn't help but shudder.

Aozaki Mayuki affectionately stroked her long hair and continued with a smile:

"But her hobby is too cruel, you must never learn it!"

"……Um."

Yizhou Tongsheng nodded obediently.

Kiryuu Hikifune actually has a good relationship with Retsu Unohana; both are veteran captains of the Gotei 13.

She and Retsu Unohana have known each other for hundreds of years.

As we all know, accidents are very likely to happen when conducting scientific research experiments, and Aozaki Mazuki and Urahara Kisuke are the best at saying this.

Whenever an accident occurs during the Twelfth Division's experiments and medical treatment is needed, they have to go to the Fourth Division. Sometimes, they go there more frequently than the Eleventh Division, which carries out high-risk missions.

After a while, they naturally became familiar with each other.

Although friction is inevitable when people spend a lot of time together, in general, Kiryuki and Retsu Unohana do not have any personal grudges.

That might not be quite right, but it does exist.

Kiryuu glanced quietly at Aozaki Mazuki.

Retsu Unohana came from behind and took Aozaki Mayuki without any hesitation.

Despite being his girlfriend, they hadn't seen each other for decades, and the most outrageous thing they had ever done was kiss and stick their tongues out.

This incident alone made her feel very uncomfortable.

Although fundamentally, it was Unohana Retsu who first met Mazuki and was the one who first became interested in him.

Hearing the rumor that Aozaki Mayuki had been chosen by the Captain-Commander, he suddenly decided to meet this outstanding genius and sent Ukitake Jushiro, who was supposed to be attending classes at the Shinigami Academy, to...

But these are two different things.

He was the one who established a relationship earlier, but Lie had been possessing him for decades, turning him into his own.

This made Kiryuu feel a sense of jealousy.

She is very honest about her feelings, which is also a characteristic of this older sister.

...While Kiryu was lost in thought again, Mayuki Aozaki suddenly handed her a bouquet of roses.

"Here, this is for you."

"Eh..."

Kiryuki took it, stunned.

Only then did they realize that Aozaki Mayuki had been busy in her wild vegetable garden since earlier.

She grows these things in her vegetable garden, not for romantic reasons or anything like that.

Simply because it's also an ingredient.

It can be used to make desserts, tea, and wine.

But when Aozaki Mayuki gave it to her, it was clearly not for use as food.

After all, they had just finished lunch.

"……Thanks."

Yizhou Tongsheng silently held the flowers and whispered his thanks.
