The only player in the world of Bleach

That's a very euphemistic way of putting it.

At least in Matsushita Yusuke's view, Oni-Ichijo could be described as 'doing whatever he wanted' back then.

It seems that the team leader has a very high level of authority. Once they join the team, unless they make a serious mistake, they will be 'forgiven' for anything they do before that.

All I can say is that it was somewhat enjoyable.

However, there are certainly aspects here that require careful consideration and assessment of the situation.

For example, the part about 'interpersonal relationships'.

The relationship between the captains is also very important. If Gui Yancheng had been more willing to cultivate relationships and had a bit more influence, things wouldn't have turned out so 'awkward'.

Whether or not someone is sociable is also a relatively important indicator.

Matsushita Yusuke's mind was filled with all sorts of random thoughts, and he nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, making sure he remembered every single one of Chojiro's instructions.

"In short, there are many things that Matsushita needs to focus on right now, so there's no need to be too impatient. Just make progress little by little and try to make changes."

Chojiro Sasaki offered his advice in a very gentle manner, adding to it.

"It's still because of your predecessor that the Eleventh Division has a bad reputation now. It won't be easy to turn people's impressions around... But anyway, keep trying, young man."

Matsushita Yusuke was well aware of these things. He smiled helplessly and nodded slightly.

"Thank you for your guidance, senior. I will do my best."

"Haha, it's good that you have the thought... Oh right, Matsushita-kun, there are some things I don't need to remind you of, right?"

"Uh... what do you mean?"

"Of course, it's about changing my name."

……ah!!!

That makes sense.

Each generation of Kenpachi retains his surname but changes his given name to 'Kenpachi'.

This custom seems to have existed until now, and logically speaking, Matsushita Yusuke should not be exempt from it either.

but……

"You seem surprised. You're not usually very accepting of this, are you?"

Takuchojiro said with a smile.

"Then it's fine not to change it! Just keep the name Kenpachi, that is indeed a solution."

Is this inheritance process so simple that it can be skipped?!

"Actually, it wasn't such a serious matter to begin with. It's just that some things are often followed by people, and over time they become something that is passed down in a certain sense."

But in fact……

"That's not the case."

Chojiro Sasakichi adjusted his bow tie with considerable elegance and spoke in a relaxed tone.

"What is conventional is not immutable, after all, it was formed because of the whims of people in the past."

Change brings new life.

"Blindly adhering to old rules and order will only cause the flow of water to stagnate and gradually decay."

This guy seems to have suddenly said something amazing?

But at the same time, it is also reasonable.

After all, this Minister of the Sparrows was a legendary figure, having seen and heard a great deal. As a result, some things were naturally 'demystified' by him.

Or perhaps it's better to say the opposite...

"Having lived for over a thousand years, it would be strange if they didn't have some feelings and understanding."

And thinking of this, Matsushita Yusuke naturally recalled the first Kenpachi.

Unohana Yachiru... So she didn't change her name either, it makes sense!

With his thoughts settled, Matsushita Yusuke let out a soft breath and nodded with a serious expression.

"Thank you for your guidance, senior. I will take it into consideration!"

"Yes, please do so."

The exchange between the two sides seems to have reached a temporary end at this stage.

But before that, having already packed his things, Chojiro Sasakibe, who had just stood up, seemed to remember something and opened his mouth again.

"Matsushita-kun, although according to the rules this part shouldn't be my responsibility to explain to you... but since this is a rare opportunity, I think it's better to remind you."

"...?"

Yusuke Matsushita looked over with some confusion, then nodded cautiously.

"Please...speak?"

What are you doing all this mysteriously?

Chojiro Sasaki leaned his head forward a little and then said in a low voice.

"About two or three days from now, around tonight... someone will come looking for you. Before that, make sure you hone your skills and demonstrate the strength to at least overcome the challenge of fighting Ghost City."

After a pause, Chojiro Sasaki said quietly.

"That's something every Kenpachi goes through when he receives the inheritance... By the way, Onigenjo was beaten half to death back then, so you'd better do your best."

Yusuke Matsushita immediately realized what was going on.

Is a female ghost coming to claim my life...?

Oh, wait, that's not right.

It turns out that Hana Retsu is coming to check the quality of the product.

P.S.: I was visiting relatives on the first and second days of the Lunar New Year, so I didn't have time to write anything... I can only update to 4000 words, I'm really sorry.

Afterwards, things will recover (I'm kneeling before you).

112: Death Star Dew Valley

Is there a premonition that a female ghost will come to claim your life?

Although it sounds abstract, the Eleventh Division itself is not a normal organization, so Yusuke Matsushita naturally accepted it.

So, in two or three days, an older woman will be coming to inspect the goods? The person involved rubbed their slightly sore cheeks and shook their head and sighed helplessly.

This is really one thing after another... it just won't end.

Matsushita Yusuke only complained a little, but he didn't dislike it. After all, if he wanted to achieve something, he needed more training and tasks.

Time is of the essence!

If things keep getting delayed here and there, and by the time Aizen starts causing trouble, and I'm still only a novice in martial arts... then I'll be completely helpless.

After signing all the treaties, Yusuke Matsushita breathed a sigh of relief.

As of now... things have finally come to a temporary end.

All that's left is to handle the various trivial matters within the team.

As he pondered this, before Matsushita Yusuke could even stand up, a familiar notification appeared before his eyes.

Manage your Eleventh Squad

[Synopsis: A qualified captain is not only a strong individual but also a skilled manager... Your predecessor left a mess, but you can't let that continue. From now on, run your team efficiently; this will earn you more reputation and respect.]

Upon seeing this mission, Matsushita Yusuke's expression turned strange.

He couldn't help but slightly open his mouth and let out a soft "Eh."

Because the way this task is presented is a bit strange...

Not only did it not specify the details of the reward, but the overall font color was also different from before.

Why is it orange?

Yusuke Matsushita noticed that it also marked other content at the end.

[Business Tasks]

"...?"

What is this again?

The moment his thoughts began to flow, the content before Matsushita Yusuke's eyes surged and then transformed into something else entirely.

[Note: These tasks offer long-term, substantial, and multifaceted rewards. Please pay close attention to them and give them your all.]

Yusuke Matsushita hesitated for a moment, then his mouth opened slightly as he realized what was happening.

This is a completely new task system!

Unlike regular quests, these are faction quests that offer substantial rewards but can only be completed once, as well as achievement rewards…

This is clearly a special system that can only be unlocked after becoming a captain-level character!

Yusuke Matsushita was initially somewhat dismissive, but now he's really putting his mind to it.

This thing is not a burden.

On the contrary... for Yusuke Matsushita, this stuff was a gold mine!

It is an important way to mine for a long time and obtain various rewards!

'So that's what was waiting ahead, no wonder...'

Yusuke Matsushita had been paying attention to the specific format of the mission and the strategy for obtaining the rewards for a long time.

At the True Spiritual Arts Academy, you can just attend classes. Once you get to a slightly higher level, it's about sparring with others...

What happens if we continue to advance to the next level?

You have to understand that your opponents are not limitless.

There are only a handful of people in the entire Soul Society who can perform Bankai. Even if Matsushita Yusuke sparred with them one by one, he couldn't possibly reach the maximum level that way, could he?

In retrospect, it seems that this was entirely unfounded worry on the part of the person involved.

As your status changes, the ways to obtain rewards also change.

'It seems that basic tasks like this have always existed, but you just need to trigger certain conditions...'

After understanding this, Matsushita Yusuke's expression visibly relaxed.

There's always a way out!

Now it seems that for Matsushita Yusuke, who has changed his identity, he only needs to focus on management, just like he did back in the academy, to achieve various goals such as obtaining rewards by accumulating a lot of time.

Thinking about it this way, it really makes sense now.

It's just that the system has suddenly changed and I'm not used to it yet.

How did I end up completing 'Stardew Valley'?!

But it doesn't seem bad either. After all, compared to aimless classes, this kind of constructive learning is obviously more fulfilling.

Matsushita Yusuke had originally planned to go back first, but when he saw the appearance of the [Management Mission], he finally stopped and stood still.

He gave a slightly thoughtful look and then looked towards Chojiro Sasaki.

"Um... Senior Sparrow, there's something I'd like to discuss with you. Is now a convenient time?"

The latter gave a hearty smile and replied without hesitation.

"I will do my best in anything within my capabilities."

Do you have any suggestions regarding the team members?

Currently, the most troublesome thing is 'recruiting team members'.

Because Guiyan City had previously slaughtered almost all of his subordinates.

However, this has its pros and cons – after all, for Matsushita Yusuke, he certainly wouldn't be too happy to start over with Oni-Ichijo's old subordinates.

These people were all "elites" that Oni Ichijo had picked up from who-knows-where according to his own values, and they were completely incompatible with Matsushita Yusuke.

"Oh... this... that is indeed a bit troublesome."
