Death: This Death is a bit unorthodox.

Just then, a middle-aged man with a small mustache silently walked past Aozaki Mayuki and casually tossed him a sake bottle.

Aozaki Mayuki looked closely and realized it was the vice-captain of the saga club. She quickly called out:

"Senior brother!"

When Chojiro heard Aozaki Mayuki's call, a hint of helplessness appeared on his face. He then took out another flask of sake from his pocket and handed it to him.

"If you don't call him 'senior brother,' he'll probably secretly hide this pot of wine."

Aozaki Mayuki muttered to herself.

Aozaki Mayuki took the sake flask, guessing that it must have been sent by the old man.

He eagerly opened the lid, took a sniff, and his eyes lit up immediately.

Good heavens, this is definitely a fine wine that the old man has been treasuring for many years!

It's even better than the ones I've secretly drunk before!

Seeing Kyoraku Shunsui reach out to take the sake, he immediately shielded the sake pot with his arms, but pushed the cup of sake on the table to Kyoraku Shunsui instead.

"Tch, you stingy person."

Seeing this, Kyoraku Shunsui grumbled with dissatisfaction.

"Hehe, senior brother, your injuries haven't healed yet. I'm just concerned about you," Aozaki Mazuki said helplessly.

Kyoraku Shunsui immediately waved his hand:

"You don't understand anything, kid. The more painful the wound, the more enjoyable it is to drink!"

Aozaki Mayuki's eyes widened in astonishment.

Could it be that Lie beat him up a few days ago and turned him into a masochist?

Considering that it was his wife's fault and that he was about to become his elder, Aozaki Mayuki still filled his glass.

With one senior brother already here, another senior brother is naturally indispensable.

Sure enough, Jushiro Ukitake was helped to his feet and walked straight over here.

"Junior brother, junior brother, I want one too."

Ukitake Jushiro, his face flushed with drunkenness, mumbled incoherently.

This meal lasted from dusk until late at night, and the barracks were filled with soldiers whose bellies were bulging.

Fortunately, they are all superhumans, and they can fall asleep without fear of catching a cold.

If the Wandenreich were to invade now, I'm afraid that apart from the Aozaki family, few members of the Gotei 13 would be able to put up a fight.

The strongest force bearing the name of the Gotei 14 spent the whole night eating meat and drinking wine instead of doing anything else. I wonder if this scene will make the noble lords so angry that they have a stroke.

The teamwork between the members was simply amazing.

They put the group of noblemen out of their minds, and their tense nerves gradually relaxed.

As midnight approached, Aozaki Mayuki led the ladies along the wide avenues of Seireitei.

Despite having drunk a lot of alcohol, they did not feel dizzy or lightheaded; on the contrary, their minds were exceptionally clear.

It seems that drowning their sorrows in alcohol will be something that will never be associated with them again.

Since fusing with the Hogyoku, their bodies are no longer comparable to those of ordinary people, yet they still retain a keen sense of the taste of alcohol.

For them, alcohol is a beverage they can drink as much as they like without any problem.

"Today was absolutely insane, hehehe, those nobles might come to me, the captain, to complain."

As Aozaki Mayuki walked at the front of the group, just as he was about to scratch his head, a soft hand reached out from the side and stopped him.

A dazzling golden figure was quietly walking beside him, and he was naturally very familiar with that stunningly beautiful face.

"what's wrong?"

Aozaki Mayuki turned her head and looked at her with a puzzled expression.

Unohana Retsu had a slight smile on her lips as she slowly walked past Aozaki Mayuki on the other side.

The older sister tilted her head, gazing at him tenderly, and said softly:

"You always turn out stupid at crucial moments. It's a private date invitation from a girl. Well, I'll take care of the girls then. You two enjoy your time together."

After saying that, she waved to Aozaki Mayuki and then left with the others.

As Aozaki Mayuki watched their departing figures, a look of sudden realization dawned on her face:

"So that's how it is..."

He stood there, watching the crowd disappear into the night.

“That’s why I said you can be such an idiot sometimes.” Matsumoto Rangiku shook her head helplessly, reached out and grabbed Aozaki Mayuki’s sleeve, pulling him toward a stone tower, muttering, “Come on, follow me.”

The two climbed up a towering stone tower and reached the top.

The sages in the Pure Pagoda Forest had long since rested, and all around was quiet.

The silvery moonlight shone down, casting a mysterious and beautiful glow over the entire place.

The distant starry sky is dazzling, with countless stars twinkling, like a dreamlike painting.

However, there were very few guards below, making it seem somewhat lonely.

Aozaki Mayuki looked around and saw rows of snow-white stone pillars arranged in a neat and orderly fashion, as if telling the story of the past.

The moonlight shining on the stone pillars gives people a sense of purity and solemnity.

He took a deep breath, savoring the fresh air and tranquil atmosphere, and couldn't help but exclaim:

"It's so beautiful!"

"Am I right? Sometimes when I'm bored, I'll sneak off here to enjoy the scenery." Matsumoto Rangiku smiled.

She sat on the wall, speaking without any restraint, saying things that would surely get her sentenced to death if they got out; her figure seemed to blend into the night wind.

"Hey, Mazuki."

"what's up?"

Do you remember the first time we met?

"Of course I remember, the sun was blazing down, and I remember how thirsty I was..."

I'm referring to that night.

"That night..."

"Don't think about strange things."

"I haven't said anything yet. Besides, I only helped you change your clothes and socks that night. That shouldn't be anything strange, right?"

"Just don't think about it."

"OK then."

Aozaki Mayuki scratched his head, smiled slightly, and turned to look at the girl.

"That night, the moon was round, the evening breeze felt nice, and the girl was very cute."

"Is that so? You really did have designs on me from the very beginning."

The girl's lips curled up slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile.

The moonlight shone on her face, making her look exceptionally gentle.

“Of course, your existence is really special to me,” Aozaki Mayuki quickly explained.

"Hmph, you've got a sweet tongue. But that night was truly wonderful."

The girl spoke softly, a hint of reminiscence flashing in her eyes.

The two fell silent, gazing into the distance together.

The stars in the night sky twinkled faintly, as if telling their story.

A gentle breeze brought a touch of coolness, which also brought them peace and joy.

Aozaki Mayuki looked at the moon in the sky.

It's so strange that there aren't any stars close to it, even though there are so many bright stars around it.

He suddenly smiled and took the girl's hand.

"So, Rangiku, thank you!"

Why are you suddenly saying something like that?

"Without you, I would definitely turn into something strange. I'm so glad I met you!"

"What the hell? How could you say something like that? That's foul! That's foul! Saying something like that is so unfair, you bad guy!!"

Chapter 436 Rare in the World

One morning two weeks later, sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains into a bedroom in the Aozaki family mansion.

Aozaki Mayuki slowly opened her eyes from the soft bed and sat up sleepily.

His gaze passed over the window, as if he could penetrate the walls and glass to see the outside world.

Outside the window, the sunlight seemed a bit dimmer than usual, but it was still warm and pleasant.

The grass on the meadow swayed gently in the wind, and the bright flowers swayed along with it, as if showing off their beauty to people.

In the courtyard, you can see several maids in neat uniforms busy at work, trimming flowers or cleaning, and they will probably come to call you for breakfast soon.

Aozaki Mayuki recalled his experiences during this period. Since absorbing Gerard, suppressing Hell, and becoming the Captain-Commander, he is now bursting with confidence.

The previous rule that maids were not allowed to enter the core area of ​​the Aozaki family has been abolished, and restrictions have been lifted in all areas except for the underground laboratory.

Aside from the underground laboratory, the Aozaki family really had no secrets to hide, and gossip about him had already spread like wildfire.

Moreover, as everyone's vacation time becomes more and more flexible, Fei Zhen's workload is indeed increasing, making it necessary to find someone to help her.

Sunlight streamed into the room, creating patches of golden light.

Beside the bed, one could vaguely see a blonde beauty fast asleep, with other girls of various kinds behind her, all immersed in their dreams.
