time.

It has been a month since that earth-shattering battle.

location.

Soul Society, New Seireitei, inside the First Squadron barracks.

character.

Suzu Chojiro sorted out the list and contents in his hand, and after constant comparison and checking, he confirmed today's agenda countless times.

The new member of the First Team next to him was quite nervous. You could see that his expression was tense and he showed no intention of relaxing at all.

Such a reaction is not surprising.

"Relax a little. Today you are just watching and getting familiar with the process."

More specific content will be handled by the deputy captain.

——Having said that.

These new members still inevitably pursed their lips and nodded nervously.

Even after being comforted, the effect is still not very obvious... This is also a common thing, nothing big.

Chojiro Suzuki chuckled and shook his head.

After all, not everyone has the same qualifications as that man.

He sighed quietly and passed the paper around. Chojiro Suzuki shared everything he knew.

"We are the general manager of the First Division, so such a solemn and serious meeting will naturally only be held here."

"There must be no slackness, and we must not relax our tense nerves. No matter what, within the three hours of the agenda..."

"Gentlemen, please focus on the matter at hand."

The description was word by word, as if the air had stopped flowing.

A soldier inevitably shuddered and tried to ask at this moment.

"Um... Quebu, deputy captain..."

"Please say."

"If it's true and I'm too nervous, what should I do?"

A soft and sincere speech.

Rather than feeling contempt for the other party's 'cowardice', Chojiro Suzuki chuckled and said.

"The courage to speak your mind is something that deserves praise."

As for the method.

The deputy captain of the first squadron recalled the words that a man had said decades ago, patting the back of his head and saying with a smile.

"If you really feel like you can't hold on any longer."

"Right... let's give it a try."

"Just keep your back straight."

Chojiro Suzu paused for a moment, stretched out his right hand, and gently patted the back of the person next to him.

"So-called humans are just very simple creatures... As long as you have courage, you will have the courage to face everything."

"Before others doubt you, believe in yourself and encourage yourself first."

"If you think this way, it will feel better, right?"

The gentle words and actions were like a warm current that penetrated into the hearts of the people, causing several new members present to reveal excited expressions.

"Uh-huh!"

"I feel like... it's not that scary anymore?"

"Deputy Captain of the Sparrow Department, this method is really useful!"

Although I am no longer at the age where I would feel flattered by others, but occasionally, it is a blessing to experience and indulge in such whispers, right?
With a light chuckle, Chojiro Suzuki rubbed his mustache with a very calm smile on his face.

"It's just a small matter. The most important thing is to get you used to this kind of thing."

Someone shouted excitedly.

"I guess you've inspired other people in this way before, right?!"

"Haha, of course."

Look back and recall the past.

When was the last time you used similar words to encourage others?

A familiar figure flashed before Chojiro Suzuki's eyes. The smile in his eyes faded away, revealing a look of loss.

Always felt……

I accidentally brought up some topics that are not suitable for discussion.

"Alright, everyone, get ready. We're going to enter before the captain, so that the atmosphere won't be too awkward."

"So... hold your chest high. We represent the face of the First Division."

"Are you ready?"

Led by Chojiro Suzuki, everyone pushed the door open and walked in.

The newly built Soul Society was much more spacious than before, and even the originally old-looking team housing now looked extremely exquisite.

The number of people present was unexpectedly large.

At the moment, not only the captain of the Gotei 13 in public, but also the vice-captains of the departments and the top officers are among them.

Needless to say, this form of meeting is absolutely unprecedented.

Even though he had been mentally prepared in advance, Chojiro Suzuki's expression moved slightly and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Captain-in-chief.

If this is what you expect, I will comply.

But can such a thing really be passed by other people's votes and approval?

While feeling nervous, Chojiro Suzuki quickly stepped forward and attracted the attention of everyone present with a light cough.

"All the captains are here, so let's prepare for today's agenda."

"First, regarding the inauguration and transfer of the new captain."

"Second, regarding..."

Suzu Chojiro's tone was calm and steady.

But before he finished stating today's schedule, someone couldn't wait to interrupt him.

"Excuse me, Vice Captain Suzube. How is Captain Yamamoto's injury now?"

The then captain of the 7th Division, Komamura Sajin, with a hairy head, spoke in an anxious tone.

"Since the battle with the traitors, the captain has been recuperating. Although I know that the injured cannot travel easily, I can't help but worry about not hearing any news for a long time..."

From the perspective of loyalty alone, the big dog who came only to repay a favor would indeed be the image that would say such words.

However, there will always be people who hold different opinions.

Especially at this critical moment.

"Shut up, Komamura Satsujin."

The captain of the Sixth Division, Byakuya Kuchiki, closed his eyes slightly and spoke in a harsh and cold tone.

Born into an aristocratic family, Byakuya Kuchiki has many particularities and pays attention to his dress and etiquette in his daily life.

The momentum at this moment is colder and more fierce than ever before.

"This agenda is our first regular meeting after the reorganization of the Gotei 13."

"It should be serious and unquestionable. To interrupt it so easily like you do..."

"What kind of behavior do you have?"

At this moment when everything is still new, what Byakuya Kuchiki said does make sense.

But in terms of performance, it seems a little too "ferocious" at this moment.

Such a noble man has never been so sharp before... His cold tone, like a sword drawn from its sheath, made everyone present feel this intention that could not be ignored.

Even Abarai Renji, who was standing behind him, couldn't help but cast a worried look at his captain.

It’s time to say it or not.

A certain man has probably become the captain's inner demon...

Once it comes to any aspect related to him, the captain seems to have become a completely different person, revealing a fierce and terrifying side.

Faced with such rebuke, Komamura Sajin was not afraid at all.

"What are you talking about! Kuchiki Byakuya?!"

He took a step forward, clenched his right fist, and slammed the round table.

bump! ! !
The teacups above fell all over the floor.

"Captain-General is not only the face of our Gotei 13, but also the supreme commander!"

"If the captain-general is still ill, how can we discuss the future of the Gotei 13 here without asking him to do so?!"

"Captain Kuchiki, please think twice before you speak such treasonous words next time!"

Komamura Sajin was so excited that even his vice-captain couldn't suppress him.

But at this time, there are still people who want to add fuel to the fire.

"When will this monkey show that happens every time end?"

The captain of the 12th Division, Kuroshio Mayuri sighed softly and looked at the mess in front of him with a choked look.

I wanted to have a sip of good tea.

"This is a new flavor that our Technology Development Bureau has developed... Even I haven't been able to taste it carefully. I'm just giving it to you for the sake of appearance and elegance."

So what is the result?

"What a bunch of monkeys who don't know how to appreciate taste."

Nie Yinmeng beside him took out a kettle of hot water from somewhere and brought up another full cup.

"Please... the best time to drink is in five minutes."

"Oh! Yin Meng, you have really made progress~"

Soi Fong, who was at the front, crossed her arms over her chest with a completely indifferent expression on her face.

It was as if for this guy, there was nothing worth her care at the moment!

Unohana Retsu also closed his eyes like a bodhisattva and stood still in his position, just like he did in the past.

Yachiru was groping for something in Kenpachi Zaraki's pocket, which made the latter impatient and embarrassed.

"What are you doing!"

"Wait a minute... Ah! Found it, dried persimmon!"

"Don't put anything in my clothes!!!"

Hitsugaya Toshiro seemed to want to do something, but looking at this situation, it was obviously beyond his ability to handle.

'Don't go out and show off!'

Matsumoto Rangiku kept yelling behind him, forcing the person involved to give up the "struggle" helplessly and a little aggrieved.

Seeing such a "living world" is bound to make people laugh.

It was the same as before, and it is still the same now...

Let's just say that the Gotei 13 really hasn't changed at all?
Seeing this situation right before their eyes, the trainees of the First Squadron all looked at a loss.

wow wow wow...

Such a tit-for-tat confrontation, is this the norm for internal meetings of the Gotei 13?

Mr. Vice Captain, what should we do?
Suzuki Chojiro sighed to the sky and could only force a smile in the end.

He was about to say something when a captain stepped forward and spoke in a joking yet helpless tone.

"Gentlemen, how about you restrain yourself for a moment?"

Kyoraku Shunsui's wry smile attracted everyone's attention. He raised his right hand and waved towards the position of the 12th Division.

"Sorry, Yinmeng-chan, could you please make a new cup for all the captains present?"

After getting Kurotsuchi Mayuri's approval, Nemu started to get busy, and many vice-captains also came to help.

All I can say is that no matter how much they quarrel, the meeting must continue.

Therefore...

At times like this, someone should step forward and maintain order.

Ukitake Jushiro coughed and glanced over. Kyoraku Shunsui made a helpless gesture and spoke at this moment.

"Alright, alright~ I know everyone has a lot of opinions. But this is the rebuilt Gotei 13 after all."

"As the saying goes, everything should start over again... We finally have a chance to start over, so we should reflect on ourselves once in a while, right?"

"Ah... then let me start first."

Spreading his hands and smiling helplessly, the captain of the 8th Division said.

"Now that Seireitei has been rebuilt, I will reduce the amount of drinking from now on... um, reduce it to twice a month!"

Ise Nanao behind him pushed up her glasses and spoke in a calm tone.

"Every member of the Eighth Division will keep this resolution in mind."

what……

Oh no, we are really screwed now.

Although the person in question spoke in a joking tone, this was what he meant after all.

The two parties, who were originally at loggerheads, now showed signs of easing and completely gave up the idea of ​​arguing.

It is not known whether the method of saving face is effective or not, but in any case the situation has been eased, and this is the best outcome.

So, then.

Let’s start from the beginning.

"Captain Unohana, you should know Mr. Shan's situation better than anyone else, right? How about taking this opportunity to tell everyone the truth?"

She returned the greeting modestly and nodded.

Unohana Retsu opened his eyes and spoke in a calm tone.

"The captain's injuries are quite serious. After all, during the battle... Arima Shizuka couldn't hold back much."

"Not only the skin and muscles, but even some of the internal organs were cut open."

"If it weren't for his superhuman will, the moment he was injured... the captain would have fainted on the spot."

After hearing these words, everyone who was originally confused now looked at him in surprise.

After all, Shan Ye won’t scream, let alone beg for mercy.

After cutting off Arima Shizuya's arm, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni just gushed blood all over, although he just sat down curled up.

If you don't know, you might think he is exhausted...

I didn't expect the injury to be so serious.

and.

Although I don't really want to mention that man's name, now that I've called him out, there's no reason to 'ignore' it anymore.

There is Ma Jingye.

The mere existence of this guy is an individual that cannot be ignored by the Gotei 13.

He was involved in so many things.

The atmosphere became a little strange during the subtle pause, and after a moment, it seemed as if someone was about to speak.

But before that.

There were footsteps outside the door.

The Captain-General...is coming.
