Bleach Swordsman of Kusajishi

Chapter 75: Two Years (1)

If you are already here, then hurry in and line up!

Captain-Commander! Everyone immediately turned their heads in surprise upon hearing the elderly voice coming from behind. They immediately saluted Yamamoto Genrysai and then scurried into the Assembly Hall.

Dong! Yamamoto Genrysai slammed his cane to the ground, Since everyone is here, the Captains Meeting hereby begins.

The previous 3rd Division Captain had retired due to his physical circumstances. Before retiring, he recommended toribashi Rjr as his successor, so three other Captains and I conduct Captain Proficiency test for the said individual, and the result was satisfying. Therefore, I appoint toribashi Rjr as the new Captain of the 3rd Division.

Come in, toribashi Rjr!

Creak~~ toribashi Rjr pushed open the door of the house and entered with a meek expression on his face.

Im still inexperienced, so please show me the ropes, Senpais.

Haha, you will be a Captain from now on. Ill be counting on you, Rose.

Yes, I will be sure not to let you down, Captain Kimura!

You are a Captain too now, so theres no need to call me with that honorific anymore. Just call me Kimura.

Hehe. Rose awkwardly smiled as he scratched his head shyly. Muyang was at a loss for words when he saw Rose. It seemed that it would take some time to convince him to call him Kimura.

Ah! Hirako Shinji then asked with his signature indifferent expression, lets round up everyone to celebrate. What do you say, Rose?

Wh Theres no need to go through all that trouble for me. Rose hesitantly said.

What are you saying? Kensei said as he leaned against the wall, Besides, its been a while since we all drink together. Itll be harder to find time once youre busy with your job as a Captain.

So its settled then! Arent you glad, Rose? hahaha!

Love! Muyang was surprised when he noticed Love was laughing right beside his ear and just glanced at him helplessly. He just couldnt get used to it no matter how many times Love did it!

Haha, theres no point in yelling at him, Kimura. Love has always been like that ever since we knew him. Shinji laughed at the startled Muyang because of Love.

You guys seem to be having fun. Dont leave me out! Kyraku said, joining in the conversation.

We were just talking about having a get-together and drink tonight. Would you like to join Shunsui-san? Love asked Kyraku while impersonating a drinking motion.

Drinking? How can I say not to such a tempting offer? We must go whenever we have the chance, dont you think so too, Ukitake? Kyraku said as he turned around where Ukitake was standing.

Yeah, we cant miss such a rare opportunity.

Are you guys seriously discussing this here at the 1st Division Barrack? Yoruichi, who was already behind Muyang, suddenly said, Captain-Commander can hear you, you know.

Ah ha ha ~ Muyang laughed awkwardly. Even though he knew Yamamoto Genrysai wouldnt care about such a thing, he subconsciously picked up the pace, heading out of the 1st Division Barrack.

Kirio-san! Muyang immediately called Hikifune Kirio when she saw her back, and once she turned around, he asked: Would you care to join us for a drink?

Ill pass for today. I have some important things to take care of. Lil Hiyori will come in my stead. Hikifune Kirio smiled faintly and left after turning down Muyangs invitation.

Why didnt you invite me? Yoruichi looked at Muyang cynically.

Sigh, do I really have to ask you out for you to join? Muyang said with a wry smile. Realizing Yoruichi didnt seem to understand what he meant, Muyang hurriedly added, You think were strangers or what? I dont think I have to ask out a friend so formally.

Thats more like it. Yoruichi seemed slightly surprised.

Thats right, can you ask Kisuke to come along if he has time. Muyang said after a brief pause.

Kisuke? I cant give you my word that hell come. He has been cooping up in his room, studying some sketchy stuff that Its been a while since I last saw him. Yoruichi was at a loss for words when Muyang mentioned Urahara Kisuke.

Well, its alright if he cant make it. Theres always another time. Muyang nodded said, But come to think of it, we already got quite a lot of company.

Muyang counted the participant of tonights get-together with his finger: Me, you, Rose, Shinji, Love, Kyraku, Kensei, Ukitake, plus Kusu, Lisa, Hiyori, Mashiro. With this many people, we may have to tell the proprietress in advance to book a bigger room.

Well, It may be too much trouble for the tavern if we impose on them with this many people. On that note, why dont we have the get-together at the 10th Division instead? You often hold banquets at your Division anyway, right, Kimura? That means you shouldnt be short on alcohol. Kyraku teasingly said as he looked at Muyang.

Fuck! Seeing Kyrakus eyes, Muyang knew that guy was up to something. These people would definitely drink his prized sake dry If he let them all go to the 10th Division.

Since you guys have joined our banquets several times, it should be nothing new to you by now. But I heard that Captain Kyraku collected many fine sakes. So why dont we just have a drink at the 8th Division instead? Noticing Kyraku tried to put him on the spot, Muyang immediately got back at him.

Sure enough As soon as everyone heard the word fine sake , they immediately turned their attention to Kyraku Shunsui. Everyone knew how much Kyraku loved sake, so there was no doubt that the fine sake Muyang mentioned must fit its name.

Kyraku began to panic when he noticed everyones eyes were on him. He didnt expect the table had suddenly turned. 

Stop it, you two! Lets just do it at 2nd Division tonight! Yoruichi went out of her way after seeing Muyang and Kyraku tried to argue their way out.

Wohoo~ As expected of Shihin Clans head. As one of the four Noble Houses, Shihin Clan should have a lot of good sake. Muyang said with a look.

Well, It will definitely satisfy you. Yoruichi said as she rolled her eyes, I really dont understand why you bother hiding just a few bottles of sake, though.

Hehe. Muyang just laughed awkwardly. He begged Hikifune Kirio to brew his prized sake, and she finally agreed after asking her so many times. He couldnt even bring himself to drink those sakes, and he certainly couldnt let these people in if he wanted to keep his prized sake to himself.

Well, since its a celebration for me, its better to do it in the 3rd Division, no? Rose said timidly after listening for a while.

Its fine. Lets just do it at the2nd Division! Thats final. Be sure to come on time. I will tell my men to take care of the preparation.

Of course, we will definitely be on time.

Yo, youre never late to for a drinking night before. I guess theres the first time for everything. Muyang didnt miss his chance to tease Kyraku when he saw him on his way to the 2nd Division.

Come on, dont say that. I went around to find Ukitake, after all. Kyraku said while scratching his head.

You seem to be in good shape today, Ukitake, Muyang said with a glance at Ukitake.

Were celebrating today after all. By the way, Kimura, I didnt see Lieutenant Suzuki anywhere.

She is with Lisa. She happened to have some business with Lisa this afternoon. Lisa isnt with Kyraku either, right?

Yeah, as you see. Well, its a bit uncomfortable to chat here. Lets pick it up inside. Kyraku said as he took the lead to walk into the 2nd Division.

By the way, Ukitake, I heard that you recently asked Shiba Kaien of Shiba Clan to be your Lieutenant. Did he accept your offer?

No, he doesnt seem like he wants to join Gotei 13. Ukitake Jshir laughed wryly.

Well, be patient. Hes a talented young man, after all. It cant be helped if hes a little strong-willed. Muyang tried to console Ukitake. As far as he knew, Shiba Kaien eventually became the 13th Divisions Lieutenant, which might take place around 2 years.

Yeah, I noticed that he slightly let down his guard after 2 visits. Ukitake Jshir smiled before asking curiously: By the way, didnt Captain Kuchiki once ask you to teach his grandson Zanjutsu? How is he doing?

That brat? Muyang said as he recalled Kuchiki Byakuyas snotty face, Hes a cheeky brat, but hes very talented.

Really? Well, they are not a genius if they arent a little cheeky. Ukitake Jshir said with a gentle smile.

Muyang nodded knowingly. However, no one would imagine that the cheeky brat they were talking about would become a brusque in the future!
