Death: This Death is a bit unorthodox.

However, just as he was sighing, he heard Kenpachi Zaraki shout:

"What perfect weather for a fight! Boss, let's have a one-on-one!"

Okay, let's pretend I never said that.

He shook his head helplessly, his earlier sentiments vanishing instantly.

This guy hasn't changed at all; all he does is fight and kill, he has absolutely no sense of romance.

Such evocative weather.

Shouldn't you go home, sit on the porch, brew a pot of hot tea, enjoy delicious snacks, leisurely admire the rain, and play with your cat?

Only in this way can we truly enjoy the beauty of life.

All they think about all day long is fighting; it's incredibly boring.

Moreover, with Kenpachi Zaraki's mediocre skills, how could he possibly feel any satisfaction fighting him?

Aozaki Mayuki stood with her hands behind her back, gazing up at the sky, letting the rain wet her cheeks.

Looking up at the high sky through the clouds, he felt a surge of loneliness, a feeling of being able to sweep away hunger... to sweep across the world, to be invincible.

Despite Aozaki Mayuki's blatant disrespect, Kenpachi Zaraki wasn't angry; he simply scratched his head, seemingly unconcerned.

My current strength is no match for the boss.

He was still aware of his own limitations.

However, being around someone as powerful as Aozaki Mayuki makes it hard to suppress the urge to draw one's sword.

It's a pity I haven't learned Bankai yet, otherwise I might have a fighting chance, and the boss would have a good fight with me.

"Damn it, that old man went too far! I just defeated and conquered the Quincy clan, and I almost suppressed a beautiful young girl."

"Such a great achievement, and instead of rewarding me properly and giving me a long vacation, they actually want me to attend a meeting. It's simply inhumane."

Aozaki Mayuki tossed her hair and began to grumble.

Kenpachi Zaraki was startled and suddenly felt Maki Aozaki's hand on his shoulder.

Could it be that the boss wants to lead me in a rebellion?

That's a good idea, but the old man's knife is a bit tricky; he might get killed.

However, dying in a battle with the strongest Shinigami seems like a pretty good ending!

Thinking of this, Kenpachi Zaraki couldn't help but reveal a sinister smile.

Just as he was preparing to work hard with Aozaki Mazuki, he saw Aozaki Mazuki staring straight ahead.

next moment,

Kenpachi Zaraki turned his head.

To his surprise, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him!

The bells in her hair did not make a sound.

This means that the opponent is either weaker than an ordinary squad member, or has extremely high spiritual pressure concealment skills.

Given the fact that the other party approached silently, it was clearly not the former.

Those who conceal their spiritual pressure so furtively must be people with ulterior motives.

Under the dim sky, a handsome man stood there quietly.

He was dressed in a black shihaka outfit with a white haori over it. His skin was slightly dark, and he had neat short white hair, giving him a capable look.

This confident and composed young man gave them... or more precisely, to Aozaki Mayuki, a faint smile.

Despite his expression and complexion, which should have given a sunny and warm impression.

But when everyone saw the figure, they couldn't laugh at all; in fact, their bodies tensed up involuntarily.

An indescribable, terrifying killing intent swept over, permeating every corner of the entire space!

This murderous aura is far more terrifying than the blood-stained killers of the Eleventh Division!

Aozaki Mayuki slowly straightened her body, and although she didn't move an inch, she was already blocking the way for everyone.

His gaze fell on the man standing there, and a strange expression appeared on his face.

Where did this cosplayer come from? Wearing the captain's costume without permission is a serious offense.

However, this dark-skinned person does look somewhat similar to Yoruichi—their skin tones are almost the same.

Wait a minute—

"He looks like he has naturally dark skin, and he's so handsome. His hair is also very striking. I feel like I've seen him somewhere before!"

"It seems like it was when I was playing at Shihouin's house. I remember I was hung on the wall back then."

"However, I don't have a very good memory, could you please introduce yourself?"

"Let me go first. My name is Aozaki Mayuki, husband of the former head of the Shihouin family and captain of the Fourth Division, Shihouin Yoruichi. May I ask your name..."

Under Aozaki Mayuki's gaze, the white-haired man narrowed his eyes.

"...It really was you, you damn brat."

He took a deep breath, his face revealing a fierce expression that seemed to be reserved for a father-in-law meeting his son-in-law.

However, Aozaki Mayuki can swear on his chest that he has absolutely no relationship with his daughter whatsoever.

"My name is Shihōin Senhi. I am the first captain of the Second Division and also the head of the Shihōin family a thousand years ago!"

"As for you, Aozaki Mayuki, I've heard that someone in our Shihouin family is bullying men and women and acting recklessly. It's you, isn't it!?"

Chapter 393 Watching the Show

Sure enough, anyone who hangs out with an old man can't be a decent person.

Aozaki Mayuki finally recognized this person. Wasn't this Yoruichi's charming ancestor?

However, it should be noted that he has never done anything to bully men or women.

The worst thing he ever did to the Shihōin family was to bully their head, Yūshirō, until he cried every time he saw him.

Of course, this is just normal banter between old classmates and old friends.

Aozaki Mayuki doesn't like men.

Even if Yushiro were slightly better looking, like Yoruichi who lacked some of her heroic spirit but was more adorable, it wouldn't be possible for him to fall for her.

But upon closer reflection, I realized that I had bullied Yushiro and also taken Yoruichi for myself.

This has both male and female elements.

It really does seem to have a bit of a bullying and oppression feel to it!

But thinking about it, it makes sense. As the Captain-Commander's apprentice and the most spoiled brat in Seireitei, isn't it normal for him to bully men and women?

Thinking of this, Aozaki Mayuki nodded, completely unaware of the wrongdoing she had committed. Instead, she revealed a smug, petty expression and said:

"Oh, I see. I understand now. You're here to stand up for them, right?"

"Hmph, let me tell you, my teacher is the Captain-Commander of the Gotei 13."

"These things were all... he made me do them. The wronged should have their culprit, the debtor should be held accountable. Go find him if you dare!"

"You shameless brat! You and your master are practically cut from the same cloth!"

Shihouin Senhi said through gritted teeth, as if recalling unpleasant memories, her expression becoming increasingly distorted.

"Hmph... That old guy is definitely a lewd old man, I've wanted to say that for a long time."

Aozaki Mayuki raised her eyebrows and echoed, speaking ill of her teacher without a shred of remorse.

Let alone in private, even in front of the old man, there's nothing he wouldn't dare to say.

The reason why Aozaki Mayuki didn't rush to take action but instead chatted with Shihouin Sennatsu was because he was thinking.

Shihōin Sennatsu, the first captain of the 2nd Division of the Gotei 13 a thousand years ago.

He was one of the first captains who died in the war against the Quincy, and a soul burial ceremony was held more than nine hundred years ago.

Logically speaking, he should be in hell now, or perhaps he'll simply turn into a pile of yellow sand.

Those who commit calamity are the inhabitants of hell.

Those who go to hell after death will be chained as sinners and punished for their sins forever.

Those who cannot endure the torment and whose hearts fail will turn into sand.

Without a doubt, suffering endless torment is not the kind of life that Aozaki Mayuki likes.

He would rather enjoy life than suffer in hell.

However, he is now facing an unexpected situation.

—Senji Shihouin, who should have been in hell, appeared before him in a very illogical way.

Aozaki Mayuki glanced at the sky subconsciously, as if she could see the enormous palace through the clouds.

Could it be... that Hell knows about his collusion with the Spirit King?

Even the old King Ling is useless; he can't even control outsiders causing trouble in his own territory.

Aozaki Mayuki pondered to herself.

I didn't want to either!

But living in his world, what else can we do but cooperate?

Besides, the environment in hell is too dry; it's really not suitable for him!

Aozaki Mayuki's mind raced. Now that Hell had come knocking on his door, and was even using the first Gotei 13 to block him, he didn't know whether they were friend or foe.

But don't worry!

It's not like I don't have connections!

This is my territory and the Spirit King's territory!

Moreover, they are just the first generation of the Gotei 13, and in the end, they are still Shinigami (death gods), so they don't pose a threat to me for the time being!
