Bleach: The Captain of the Fifth Division Becomes Stronger Through Training.

Chapter 11: I want to eat steak
Back to the classroom, continue the afternoon class.

Arima Shizuka also went to the teacher's office after class and took a look - as expected, Aizen was no longer in his seat.

I don't know what this great man is thinking about. Although I am a little nervous, I should just wait at this time.

Don't delve into it, just take care of your own business first.

After finishing a day's classes, Arima Shizuka went to the cafeteria for a walk as usual.

You can't exercise on an empty stomach. After all, exercise requires adequate nutrition.

Taking this need into consideration, Arima Jing would never treat herself badly in such a place.

"Excuse me, hamburger meat set meal. Extra rice, miso soup, a serving of chicken nanban, and a small bowl of curry."

"Oh, you're really late today!"

Because there is a lot of food, and the content of the food ordered each time is very fixed.

It's to the extent that even the uncle in the cafeteria has memorized his face.

"Are you going to have special training next? Young people are full of energy."

"Hey, uncle, you're not bad either, you look pretty strong."

"You know a lot! Come on, let me give you this little pickle as a gift..."

There's nothing to lose by being sweet-talkerish, but you can get some bargains at times like this.

As long as you make money, that's enough.

Arima Shizuka also happily walked around to the condiment table, poured some chili powder and seaweed crumbs as usual, and then wanted to find a secluded place.

A familiar figure came into view.

that is……

Arima Shizuka also raised the tray and hesitated for a moment.

Finally decided to go over.

"Excuse me, a bowl of porridge, thank you."

"Again? If you only eat these things every day, you will become malnourished."

"Uh, no... that's fine. Uh, hehe, I'm actually losing weight."

Kotetsu Yuune lowered his head somewhat nervously.

She raised her right hand and fiddled with the ornament hanging by her ear anxiously.

Kotetsu Yuune's personality is indeed as Arima Shizuya predicted, and he is actually a very introverted person.

It was already quite embarrassing to be so familiar with others, and now that they had heard the conversation, many people were looking at them from all sides.

here we go again……

I obviously don't want to attract so much attention...

After all, it wasn't her intention to be so tall. She wanted to be more normal, like a normal girl...

What should I say? What kind of excuse should I use to get away with this?

Anxious and thinking, Kotetsu Yuine's lips became tighter and tighter.

"Ah! Kotetsu-senpai is here? What a coincidence~"

Some familiar voices.

The girl couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then turned her head away.

What he saw was a very handsome young man. He had his black hair tied tightly behind his head, revealing a relatively gentle face. At this moment, he was giving him a kind smile.

She knew this face.

After all, I just saw him this morning.

"Senior Kotetsu, I just happened to want to ask you something, would it be convenient for us to sit together?"

There was no room for refusal, and besides, I wanted to leave here quickly, so I nodded reflexively.

"Well! Well, let's go!"

The two of them quickly left the front desk and went to a relatively secluded corner together.

After finding a random seat and sitting down, Tohru Yuuga's expression obviously relaxed.

"That, that..."

"Forget about the thank you. Just think of it as a return gift for what you did during the day. It's just a small favor."

Seeing Arima Shizuka talking to him jokingly, Kotetsu Yuine blinked a little at a loss and clenched his hands.

"Then why did Arima-kun..."

"Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Senior is in a difficult situation, right?"

Arima Shizuka smiled and took out a pair of chopsticks, held them with her left hand, and gently poked the corner of the table.

Well, aligned!
"Since you've seen it, there's no reason to turn a blind eye. Besides, you should have felt very troubled just now, right?"

Of course, it is also very rude to speculate on other people's thoughts without permission.

Considering this, Arima Jing pondered for a moment and then patted the back of his head embarrassedly.

He said with a sneer.

"On the other hand, if you feel that I have offended you, I am really sorry... I shouldn't have done such a smart-assed thing."

Kotetsu Yuune quickly shook his head.

“No, no, I’m very grateful to Arima-kun. It’s just… I just don’t know what to say…”

It's like having an outlet.

Kotetsu Yuin's already somewhat aggrieved expression seemed to be completely broken at this moment.

"It has been like this since I entered school..."

"I haven't done anything, but I often get inexplicable attention just because of my height..."

"What? I didn't become like this because of my desire... Who knew that drinking porridge would make you taller? This kind of thing is weird no matter how you think about it!"

Wow.

Hearing these words, Arima Jing couldn't help but reveal an expression as if she had a toothache.

I can no longer suppress my resentment, it’s about to overflow…

It's not hard to see that the other party must have accumulated a lot of pressure in his daily life, but considering the current situation, I can't say anything definite and effective to comfort him.

After all, we've only known each other for a day.

Is it really okay to tell me these things?

As if he realized his own gaffe, Kotetsu Yuyin sniffed heavily and whispered "I'm sorry".

"...Can you pretend you didn't hear what I just said?"

Could there be any other answer to this question?
Arima Shizuka also smiled and nodded. The atmosphere relaxed, and Kotetsu Yuune's mood seemed to have improved significantly after the complaints just now.

She took a long breath, reached out and patted her cheek, as if to cheer herself up.

Cheer up, Totetsu Yuune!

When did you become so fragile that you would complain to your juniors?!

"Sorry for making you laugh."

"It doesn't matter. It looks more normal this way, Senior."

Arima Shizuka was not shy either. While others were struggling, she had already finished the whole plate of curry.

"Eh? What do you mean?"

Kotetsu Yuyin was a little confused. The boy swallowed the food in his mouth, wiped his mouth, and adjusted his speaking manner a little.

"It's just what it says. Senior usually acts very cold... but that's not what you really mean, right?"

There's nothing you can do about it. After all, this rather neutral face looks quite serious to anyone unless he or she shows any expression.

"Seniors give people a feeling that they are difficult to approach."

Kotetsu Yuyin touched his cheek belatedly and blinked in confusion.

"Yes, is that so?"

After all, no one had ever told her about this.

“That’s it!”

Strike while the iron is hot, Arima Shizuka continued.

"Kotetsu-senpai would definitely become cuter if he smiled."

"ah!!!"

Just like a cat with its tail stepped on.

This nearly 1.9-meter-tall woman made a very "clamped" sound.

You just casually say someone is cute or something...

Ah! This was the first time someone other than her family had said such a thing to her.

Too foul.

How frivolous!
You, would you talk to other girls like this?

Kotetsu Yuin started brainstorming in her head. She felt her face starting to get slightly hot and she couldn't help but cover it gently with her hands.

But no matter what, your expression must be kept tense.

As for the person involved, is there Ma Jing?
He simply thought that complimenting someone in this way would make women happier - after all, calling someone beautiful was too offensive, but if he used the word cute instead it would be more neutral.

This kind of praise can basically be said to be a social template or something...it's not surprising at all.

This is also what he learned from Aizen!

It’s definitely a good idea to learn from a prison warden who has maxed out his social talents.

The atmosphere between the two became a little weird, but it was Tohru Yuune who broke the deadlock first.

——The girl couldn’t let the other person notice that she was different. With this in mind, she took a deep breath.

Choose to take the initiative.

"Arima-kun! Your stomach, your appetite is good!"

Is this considered a conversation?

The person involved did not notice this abnormality and could only laugh awkwardly.

"After all, we need to train every day, so we can't skimp on food."

"Yes, is that so..."

He remembered how he looked when he came to ask for help during the day. Kotetsu Yuin blinked and couldn't help but speak.

"That level of training is still too dangerous, isn't it? If possible, Arima-kun should take better care of his body."

No matter what, this showed that the other party cared about her, so Arima Shizuka smiled and nodded.

"Well, thank you for your concern! I will pay more attention next time."

Too perfunctory! If possible, Kotetsu Yuune wouldn't mind saying something more serious.

But remember what this guy just said.

"You'd be cuter if you smiled more."

She could only wiggle her face and force a rather forced smile.

"Arima-kun, you are so thoughtful..."

You can see the boy nodded heavily at this moment.

"Well, after all, study time is precious. I want to work hard while I'm in school so that I can have a good future."

No one would make sarcastic remarks to such a serious guy.

The same was true for Kotetsu Yuyin, who sighed in his heart that this guy was really working hard.

Arima Shizuya had already eaten it all by now.

I have a good appetite. I also want to eat like this...but there is no way. It will be troublesome if I continue to grow taller.

The corner of his eye fell on the dinner plate, and Kotetsu Yuyin's heart moved slightly.

"Do you have enough money?"

"Because I worked as a laborer in the refugee street before, I saved some money... at least it's enough for this year."

After you have learned enough, you can take on tasks, which will benefit yourself and achieve a balance between income and expenditure.

This was something that had been planned long before school started, so there were naturally no surprises.

"Looking for a job..."

Kotetsu Yuyin seemed to have thought of something.

She hesitated for a moment, intertwined her hands in front of her body, rubbed them for a while, and then spoke softly.

"I have a part-time position in the student union that is looking for someone. I wonder if Arima-kun would like one..."

Before he finished speaking, Arima Shizuka's eyes were already shining.

"I'm going!"

If I could earn money in advance, my financial situation would be much better...

What's the point of eating hamburger meat then?

Give me steak!
