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

Chapter 30 030; Pretend

Looking at the child in front of her with his mouth wide open, Arima Jing couldn't help but choke for a while.

Are you Teffy from Tom and Jerry?

And this doesn’t mean he can understand what you are saying!

Arima Jing was also struggling when a rather unfamiliar accent came from beside her.

"I see. Your favorite insect curry is sold out, so you're asking for it from other people."

This voice, which was calm yet slightly perverted... Arima Shizuka's heart beat a little, and he couldn't help but look up.

He saw a stranger standing not far from him.

Carrying a tray and wearing a white coat.

The skin is incredibly pale, and the facial features seem to be just like the color, giving people an extremely cold feeling.

Her short blue hair was waxed and stood upright like a well-groomed lawn.

There is a cone-shaped device on both sides of the ears, the specific purpose of which is unknown.

The black makeup line that started from the temple and ran across the eyes made Arima Shizuka's scalp tingle.

Mayuri Kurotsuchi.

His eyes never focused on Arima Shizuya, but were always fixed on the small figure who walked with a little difficulty.

"Although I haven't deliberately cultivated the ability to communicate with others, my inner desires have taken over, so I started to act on my own, wanting to get the target by contacting others."

"Hehe, well done. Humans are willing to do anything to survive, so even if they are just being more proactive, this is a pretty good sign."

"It seems that the training program can enter the next stage. That's great."

The other party showed a rather disgusting smile.

Arima Shizuka also watched him lower his right hand and make a 'please' gesture to the child beside him.

"Come on, as a reward, I'll ask the kitchen to make an extra serving of insect curry."

Arima Jing also saw this girl's eyes light up.

The more I look at her, the more she looks like Taifei...

She seemed to subconsciously want to move closer, but soon stopped.

The little head moved back and forth between Mayuri Kurotsuchi and Shizuya Arima, and finally took two steps back and waved to Shizuya Arima.

……What's the meaning?
Say goodbye to me? Is she so polite?
"I'm telling you to keep your head down, idiot."

Eh? Is that so?

Arima Shizuka also obediently turned sideways and lowered her head.

He felt his scalp suddenly tighten.

It hurts... Rubbing his head and raising his face, Arima Jing also saw that the girl was holding one of her long hair and looking at her.

The expression on his face was visibly happy.

Just like a child who found a dandelion.

It's the hair.

Speaking of which, Arima Shizuka does seem to be taking very good care of herself... She cleans herself carefully every day when she takes a bath, and she's been eating well lately.

So it looks shiny.

Kurotsuchi Mayuri originally looked somewhat happy, but at this moment his mood suddenly cooled down.

"What... Are you just interested in this idiot's hair? My opinion of you has dropped again, you little bitch."

Kuroshio Mayuri turned around and tried to leave with a lack of interest, and Arima Shizuka couldn't help but shout out.

"Well, wait a moment..."

The other party half turned around with an expressionless face, and his tone was calm.

"What, are you interested in my genius project? I have absolutely no interest in discussing other topics, Arima Shizuya."

...just put the words to death.

But if you think about it carefully, this guy is just like this, so it's only to be expected.

But now the problem is another one.

Arima Shizuka also raised her right hand and pointed to her cheek, saying curiously.

"How do you know my name?"

"Many people in the 12th Division are talking about you. After all, it's rare to find a student who can defeat the vice-captain head-on."

Does this guy also know how to praise others? Arima Jing also raised her eyebrows slightly, and saw the corners of his mouth curled up, revealing a rather contemptuous expression.

"Well, that being said."

"I'm not that interested in people like you. You're just an ape obsessed with power, without any aesthetic sense or research skills. People like you may have to wait until your next life to understand the truly interesting things."

"My name is Kurotsuchi Mayuri. I'm sure you'll know my name after you join the Gotei 13...Mortal, don't pretend you don't know me then."

This guy's mouth is really vicious.

And there is also a strong tendency towards narcissism.

Although I was somewhat mentally prepared, it was still emotional when I actually heard it.

No wonder you have such a bad reputation in the original work. Compared with prison master Aizen, there is a world of difference.

But the parties involved don't really care about this aspect...

After a simple perfunctory response, Kurotsuchi Mayuri led Mian to the back kitchen.

Maybe he wants to ask someone else to prepare some special food for him.

This kind of thing seems to be not uncommon, and Arima Jing also sees that everyone around her looks like they are used to it.

It seems that Kurotsuchi Mayuri is also famous here for his independent and eccentric character.

Arima Jing also saw Mian glance at her at last, and tried to smile as peacefully as possible. Considering Nie Yinmeng's personality when she grew up, this girl is much easier to talk to than her father - it's always a good idea to leave a good impression.

"I'm sorry, Arima-kun..."

On the other side, Ajin came over here a little embarrassedly. His expression was quite helpless, and he seemed not very satisfied with the "result".

"I'm so sorry that you had to see these things after all the hard work of having a guest."

Arima Jing also waved her hands repeatedly.

"Ah, it's okay, it's okay, just mind your own business."

After all, when encountering such a thing, the person involved will definitely have a headache more than the bystanders. Besides...

Arima Jing also looked at the miserable scene in the distance and couldn't help but reveal a rather awkward smile.

This guy, Saruaki Hisori, is much more violent than I imagined.

He is the type who has a bad mouth and is not very good at talking... When he can't win an argument, he starts to fight and even throws things indiscriminately.

No wonder so many researchers are frightened when they see her.

"It seems to be completely different from the style of the 12th Division. I guess he doesn't get along well with Urahara."

Arima Shizuya couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

It seems that every family has its own problems...

After lunch, under the guidance of Ajin, Arima Shizuka also tried some simple experiments - selecting materials, observing cultivation and other simple intermediate procedures.

It’s also a rather novel experience.

Around four o'clock in the afternoon, Aizen and Urahara finally ended their private conversation.

Led by the prison warden, the two thanked Urahara Kisuke, Akon, and several other staff members from the research institute who had come to see them off.

This concludes today's trip.

On the way back, Aizen still led the way, and Arima Shizuka followed behind him.

After the two sides had walked for about dozens of minutes, the young man heard the person in front of him speak without turning his head.

"Shizuya-kun, how do you feel about your internship experience today?"

The person concerned pondered for a moment, scratched the corner of his mouth and said.

"To be honest, I don't have any talent for research, so I only have a superficial understanding of many things..."

From a beginner's perspective, it's hard to say "I've gained a lot".

So the only thing we can do is change our thinking.

"At least I can feel that everyone is quite enthusiastic..."

Aside from a few extreme cases... well, yes, that's it.

"Really? That's enough."

Aizen slowed down his pace and walked side by side with Arima Shizuya.

The young man could see that the other person still maintained his usual smile, looking calm and composed, as if everything was within his expectations.

"After all, even though the Gotei 13 are based on duty, they can't escape the constraints of human relationships and organizations... It would be a good thing for Shizuya-kun to get to know these people in advance."

There is nothing wrong with what Aizen said.

After all, the more feudal the background, the more important the relationships between people.

Properly starting to manage your own network is also a way to consider and lay the groundwork for future development.

It seems that the prison warden really cares about me - Arima Shizuka was also feeling very happy.

Unexpectedly, Aizen suddenly said this.

"Shizuya-kun, what do you think of Captain Urahara?"

A slightly odd topic.

But considering what Aizen did today, he might also want to verify something from the perspective of an observer.

So you have to think about it seriously.

"Captain Urahara is a kind person, and he seems to be good at dealing with people. As a captain, he should be a bit of a good guy..."

As they were talking, Arima Jing felt that something was not right.

and many more.

Isn't this the same as a prison master? !

The person concerned raised his head belatedly, only to see Aizen staring at him with a smile.

"Have you figured it out? Do you think I'm somewhat similar to Captain Urahara?"

"Uh... hehe, a little bit."

"But there are definitely no two people with the same personality in the world, just like fingerprints are unique to each person. So Shizuya-kun, do you think there is a problem with me or with Captain Urahara?"

"Or maybe..."

Aizen suddenly stopped, his smile still there, but the atmosphere at this moment became subtle.

"Captain Urahara and I are just pretending to be like this?"

Arima Shizuka also looked at Aizen blankly.

The other person's eyes were hidden behind the lenses, but the look they revealed at this moment gave off a somewhat strange feeling.

"Shizuya-kun, have you ever considered that the kindness, approachability, and mentoring behavior I have shown so far are just a disguise I made to facilitate my actions?"

"so……"

"Is it possible that I'm actually a very difficult person with a terrible personality?"
