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

Chapter 53: Next stop, the second team

Another month has passed.

It was around October.

It is at the transition point between autumn and winter.

The season of alternating cold and heat is also quite annoying. On earth, how should one dress so as not to appear dull?

"After all, everyone else is wearing summer clothes. If I'm the only one wearing autumn clothes, it would look weird, right?"

Kotetsu Yuune said in a rather distressed tone while biting the rice spoon.

“Attracting attention is a very troublesome thing.”

Arima Shizuya pondered for a moment and tried to refute.

"No, it would be tiring to care about other people's eyes like this, right?"

"You definitely don't understand, Arima-kun. This is a girl's survival trick and also the bottom line of society. If I don't even care about these things, my sociality will be ruined!"

Is it such an important matter?
It can only be said that it is still difficult for Arima Shizuka to empathize with this unique social atmosphere.

Don’t understand, but respect.

"Well...I think Kotetsu looks good this way, too."

Kotetsu Yuune hummed and spoke in a pretentious deep tone.

"You bastard, now you don't even need to add the word 'senior' to your name."

"Wouldn't it make us seem more familiar if we used the name hubishate (abbreviated form of address to indicate a close relationship between two parties)?"

Arima Shizuka also laughed and wiped the curry residue from the corner of her mouth with a tissue.

"Or would you rather I just call you Yuune-chan?"

"..."

Kotetsu Yuyin lowered her head all of a sudden. Although they had known each other for almost a year, this level of interaction still seemed too stimulating to her.

I really don’t know if I’m too conservative or if it’s just my nature.

But no matter what, Arima Shizuka doesn't hate this kind of 'slow-heating' atmosphere.

Raising his hand to stir the hair hanging at his temples, Kotetsu Yuune said in a low voice.

"Well, it's better to call the one in front..."

The former name is already embarrassing enough, and the latter one basically doubles the level of critical strike.

Otherwise the heart won’t be able to bear it.

Arima Jing also heard this and immediately smiled brightly.

"Understood, Yuune-chan."

The red marks began to spread, down to the neck and up to the ears. Kotetsu Yuune looked as if he was about to cry, and couldn't help but say.

"You guy!"

"Oh~ A lady shouldn't speak loudly, it would be better if you could hold it back a bit."

"?!!"

After all, it was in the cafeteria, a place with many people, and he had to consider other people's sight... In the end, Kotetsu Yuune didn't lose his temper.

Retract the preface.

This guy is even more annoying than he was half a year ago!
"Alright, alright, enough joking for now. Sorry... Kotetsu-senpai."

After spending some time together, Arima Jing also understood the other person's general personality.

Totetsu Yuune is a very conservative girl. Since they have known each other for a long time, she can be a little casual, but it is only to a superficial extent.

Although their relationship has not been confirmed, it is not unacceptable that they are currently just more than friends.

Considering that they are not in a romantic relationship yet.

It would be rude to continue joking.

Thanks to her long-term relationship with Aizen, Arima Shizuka now has a more calm and composed temperament than she did half a year ago.

He asked in a leisurely tone while picking up the leftovers from the plate with a smile.

"I heard that the 4th Division has started open recruitment some time ago... Kotetsu-senpai should have joined, right?"

Although graduation season is in winter, this kind of thing is just like Japanese job hunting activities.

There is usually a term called "internal appointment"... people with good grades and outstanding performance will be selected by the corresponding team and the relevant procedures will be reported in advance.

After graduation, it’s just a matter of going through the motions.

Logically speaking, this is indeed a recruitment fair for graduates, but this kind of activity itself does not mind underclassmen participating.

After all, you will graduate sooner or later, so it would be helpful to feel the exam atmosphere in advance.

I was about to talk about my professional content.

Kotetsu Yuyin's expression had eased a lot. She snorted slightly and then spoke softly.

"I will definitely participate. After all, I have been following the news in this regard." "Very proactive, that's the momentum. By the way...what was the result?"

"Full marks! The examiner also praised me. If I were also a sixth-year student, I would have been allowed to join the team by now!"

"Oh, that's amazing."

"Hey hey hey (o(^▽^)o～"

Arima Shizuka also touched Tohru Yuune's head with a smile, and the other party did not refuse until a few seconds later.

She realized it belatedly and stepped back, saying it a little embarrassedly.

"Don't, don't do this... Everyone is watching, no, this is not good..."

"Does that mean we can do this in private?"

"me……"

Don't hate this practice.

But it always feels weird to say this!

Kotetsu Yuune held his hands on both sides of his cheeks and let out a whimpering moan.

"Stop making fun of me, Arima..."

"Sorry, I didn't mean to. But I have to congratulate you anyway."

As she spoke, Arima Jing also took out a small gift box with exquisite packaging from her arms.

"To celebrate your passing the exam, I bought you a small gift. I hope you like it."

Kotetsu Yuune was visibly stunned.

"Hey? For... for me?"

"Otherwise, is there anyone else I can give gifts to?"

The prison warden should also be considered, but the gift to him should be changed...

The smile on Kotetsu Yuune's face blossomed like a flower.

"Thank you!"

Seeing that the girl was about to put the things in her bag, Arima Jing couldn't help but say something.

"Why don't you take it apart and take a look?"

"I want to go back to the dormitory and open it."

Here it comes again...I don't know what that sense of reserve is.

Forget it, this is just his characteristic and habit, and Arima Jing has no intention of correcting it.

not to mention……

Arima Shizuya supported her chin with one hand, turned her head sideways, and said to Kotetsu Yuune with a smile.

"Just seeing Yong Yin's smiling face is enough to satisfy me."

"Gu..."

Eat people with short mouths, and take people softly.

At this point, I can no longer say those tough words.

Seeing the other party burying his head again, Arima Shizuka, who had succeeded in his attack, stood up with a smile.

"Let's stop here for today. I have some things to do in the afternoon... I'll excuse you first."

Kotetsu Yuyin showed a somewhat surprised expression and couldn't help but speak.

"Hey? Don't you have classes this afternoon?"

Arima Jing also pondered for a moment, tilted his head, and revealed a rather helpless smile.

"Due to the arrangement of a senior, I need to go to the second squad for internship in the next few days... It will take about half a month."

and this.

This was also the special operation that Aizen planned for Arima Shizuya.

Through the handwriting in the letter, the person involved could even imagine Aizen's expression with his glasses pushed up and an inexplicable smile on his face.

"Go and meet the second squad, Shizuya-kun. There you will learn more about the essence of the instant step technique."

Simultaneously.

'Also try to learn as much as possible and see things that you have never seen before.'

That’s right, this is Shizuya Arima’s next destination.

The 2nd Division of the Gotei 13, also known as...

Secret Mobile Team.
