Death: This Death is a bit unorthodox.

"That's good, so as to avoid other troubles in the future due to differences of opinion on the selection of personnel."

What on earth is that old man talking about today?

And these guys around me, they're definitely hiding something from me!

Aozaki Mayuki was completely baffled.

"Aozaki Mayuki, would you be willing to serve as the Captain-Commander and Captain of the First Division?"

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni asked with a solemn expression.

"Uh-huh!?"

Aozaki Mayuki nodded subconsciously, then suddenly froze, staring wide-eyed at Yamamoto in disbelief.

These guys are definitely hiding something from me, but they didn't say it was this kind of thing!

"So you agree? Great!"

A smile appeared on Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's face, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

The smile seemed to say, "You said it yourself; I didn't force you."

Amidst the expectant glances of the other captains, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni solemnly announced:

"Then, in my capacity as Captain-Commander of the Gotei 13, I hereby announce to all captains and all members of the Gotei 13."

"Effective immediately, I, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, hereby resign from my position as Captain-Commander of the Gotei 13 and Captain of the 1st Division."

"Former Eleventh Division Captain Aozaki Mayuki succeeds as Captain-Commander of the Gotei 13 and Captain of the First Division."

"The Rittin team must immediately notify the entire Rittin, without fail."

Feeling the dozens of spiritual pressures outside recede into the distance, Aozaki Mayuki opened her mouth, unsure of what to say.

He originally thought it was just an ordinary meeting, but he never expected to be appointed as the captain-general and captain of the first division.

This sudden turn of events caught him somewhat off guard.

"Hey, hey, hey... old man, this is no joke! At the very least, we should ask the Central 46 Bureau first, right?"

Aozaki Mayuki couldn't help but shout, but his voice stopped abruptly halfway through.

He noticed the expressions on the faces of those around him, who seemed to have anticipated this.

This means that the old man did not make a spur-of-the-moment decision, but rather a well-thought-out one, and that the Central 46 Office has very likely already agreed to the decision!

Chapter 432 A New Store Opened

Thinking about this, Aozaki Mayuki suddenly realized why everyone had been looking at her strangely all along the way.

What about Chojiro Sasakibe?

Why is the person who always stands guard outside the door during meetings, ready to respond at any time, nowhere to be seen today?

He's a staunch supporter of the old man and would never easily agree to such a decision.

Hurry up and step forward to dissuade this delirious old man!

Just then, Yamamoto spoke up:

"Boy, are you looking for Chojiro? Don't waste your time."

"Hehe, he left the Gotei 13 yesterday and was transferred to a key position in the Shin-O Ward."

Upon hearing this, Aozaki Mayuki's eyes widened, and an ominous premonition welled up in her heart.

Being transferred to a key position in the Shin-Chu Ward is practically retirement, isn't it?

Yamamoto continued:

"So I advise you not to have any unrealistic fantasies, and to find a suitable person to take over his job as soon as possible."

They didn't even leave me a vice-captain position. Isn't this just blatantly trying to work me to death?

Aozaki Mayuki was utterly shocked and instinctively turned to look at the door behind her.

Normally, there would be a middle-aged man with a small mustache standing there waiting.

But this time, the door was empty; there was no one in sight.

Taking over as the chief captain isn't actually something I can't accept.

After all, Old Man Shan didn't die; he just retired.

Aozaki Mayuki has been the captain for quite some time now.

In his view, being a team leader or a chief team leader was about the same, with little difference.

Moreover, if he becomes the captain, he will have a higher status and more power, making it easier for him to do whatever he wants in the future.

However, getting him to start working seriously is a huge undertaking!

Why did he train top talents like Gin Ichimaru and Toshiro Hitsugaya?

He just wants to be lazy!

There was no time for Aozaki Mayuki to think too much.

Just then, Retsu Unohana, Shunsui Kyoraku, Jushiro Ukitake, and Sosuke Aizen stepped forward at the same time.

They bowed deeply to Aozaki Mayuki, using the etiquette of subordinates meeting their superiors.

Seeing this, the other captains also followed suit without hesitation and saluted.

The captains' meeting ended quickly, and no one raised any objections to Aozaki Mayuki becoming the captain-commander.

In fact, the entire Seireitei had already tacitly agreed that Aozaki Mayuki would become Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's successor.

After the Captain-Commander's passing, Aozaki Mayuki was undoubtedly the most suitable candidate to take over as Captain-Commander.

Now, it's just that the time has been brought forward a little.

After all, Aozaki Mayuki is the real strongest Shinigami!

Moreover, he can be considered the most important figure in the Three Realms today!

Leaving aside his strength, which surpasses Yamamoto's, just looking back at the series of events that have occurred in the past is enough to prove his lofty status and prestige in the hearts of the people.

Whether it was quelling rebellions, conquering the Unseen Empire, participating in the Quincy War, or suppressing Hell, each achievement was incredibly glorious.

The act of suppressing hell alone is something that may be unprecedented, but it is unlikely that anyone will follow in its footsteps.

If we compare Yamamoto to a towering tree, he silently shelters people from the wind and rain.

Then Aozaki Mayuki is like a dazzling sun.

When everyone looks up at the sky, even if they can't see its full shape, they all know that it will surely rise after the long night.

And that warm and bright sunlight, whether he cares or not, will always shine upon the world.

However, Aozaki Mayuki doesn't care whether she can glow or not!

At this moment, he was staring at his mischievous friend Aizen, who had a sly smile on his face (personal perspective), when a brilliant idea suddenly flashed through his mind.

Hey, hasn't this guy always wanted to create his ideal world?

Let's start by managing the Gotei 13, and test his abilities while we're at it.

Before Aozaki Mayuki could even congratulate herself on her cleverness, she saw her senior brother approaching with a lewd grin.

"Congratulations, Junior Brother! Congratulations! You've finally defeated that old man and become the Captain! It's truly what everyone hoped for!!"

"Senior brother, aren't you a little late in trying to flatter your junior brother?"

Aozaki Mayuki revealed a dangerous expression.

This guy has been causing trouble for him and Ise Nanao quite a bit.

Now it's finally in his hands.

"Hehehe... Junior brother, what are you saying? We are brothers, and everything I said is the truth. There's no such thing as flattery."

Kyoraku Shunsui was incredibly thick-skinned, seemingly not taking Aozaki Mayuki's threat to heart at all, and instead revealed an even more lewd smile.

"Every word is the truth? You didn't even tell me about such a big thing as taking over as the chief of staff. Is this the truth you're telling?"

"You can't blame yourself, senior brother! The Central 46 already spread the word, and everyone in the entire Seireitei should know. I thought you already knew!"

"..." Aozaki Mazuki was speechless.

He's been spending the last month in the real world and Hueco Mundo, so it's no wonder he wouldn't be paying attention to this.

Kyoraku Shunsui coughed twice:

"Never mind all that, at least the ending is good."

"And I just heard that a new store opened on Noble Street. Shall we go check it out and have a good celebration?"

"this......."

Aozaki Mayuki's eyes flickered.

Don't get me wrong, they're not talking about some weird or strange place.

The noble street is inhabited by a bunch of self-proclaimed high-class people. If you want to open a shop like that, you should go to Youku.

Kyoraku Shunsui was referring to a tavern; when this guy organized group activities, there was almost no other option besides drinking.

However, although the names are different, the restaurants on Noble Street have a similar function.

The shop has a group of workers called geishas who provide entertainment while customers drink.

They all sell their art, not their bodies.

Of course, if the feelings are mutual, that's a different story.

"Hurry up and decide. Shisi Lang is all ready. Time waits for no one."

Kyoraku Shunsui chuckled strangely and urged.

Aozaki Mayuki was taken aback; Ukitake Jushiro was really indulging himself now.

He wouldn't necessarily fall in love with a woman he didn't know, but drinking had definitely become one of his biggest hobbies.

Without a doubt, he was corrupted by Kyoraku Shunsui; that guy really did a lot of harm.
