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

Chapter 89 088: Hey Hey ( >)
"excuse me."

After apologizing, Chojiro Suzuki led Shizuya Arima to a small shop with a rather quaint style.

The facade is decorated with exquisite iron patterns, and through the window, you can see the antique tables and chairs made of dark wood inside.

The light is a soft orange-yellow, creating a warm and elegant atmosphere.

The air in the store was filled with the smell of roasted coffee beans, and there was some light music... Eh? Was there a record player in here?

"Amazing, is it possible to get something like this?"

As he watched the neatly-dressed attendants walk out from behind the table, the smile on Chojiro Suzuki's face widened.

"You have a good eye, Arima-kun. You can spot the most expensive item in the store at a glance."

Picking up the coffee cup that had just been handed to him, the deputy captain of the first squadron revealed a rather intoxicated expression.

"The light music, combined with the richness of the coffee, always reminds me of our encounter in reality that year... It's just a pity that there are too few people in Seireitei who can appreciate this kind of thing."

Arima Shizuka also thanked the waiter who brought the coffee and took two small bags of brown sugar nearby.

"This isn't a strange thing. After all, most people haven't had much contact with Western goods."

"Western goods? Hehe, that's an interesting nickname."

"Ah... I'm sorry. I think I said something that bothered Suzube-senpai."

"It's okay. I'm very open to new things. Compared to the old-fashioned Genryusai you mentioned, I'm more of a reformist."

The occasional joke made by a serious person can really double the damage...

Arima Shizuka also grinned silently, revealing a smirking expression.

"By the way, does Arima-kun like sweet things?"

Seeing Suzube raising his finger and pointing at herself, Arima Shizuka also smiled and raised the empty sugar bag in her hand.

"Oh, you mean this? Sorry, I can't eat bitter things, so..."

"The bitterness that settles over time is also a kind of deliciousness."

"Please wait until I am a hundred years old before discussing this topic."

"Haha, you are really funny."

Lord Sumire Chojiro placed his hands flat on the table. At this moment, he half raised his left hand and began to stroke the short beard on his face.

"Excuse me, please give this man some more dessert."

The person involved made a tactical backward movement.

"Ah, please don't bother spending any money on this..."

"It's okay, it's okay. This is a small shop sponsored by me, so it's free this time."

Wow.

Can I eat for free again?

Arima Shizuya's eyes suddenly became sharp.

"Excuse me, do you have tiramisu?"

Quebu smiled quite generously.

"You really don't know how to be polite, kid."

"Hey hey ξ(>)"

Eat the pastries and rinse your mouth with coffee.

After replenishing a lot of sugar and fat, Arima Shizuya's expression relaxed.

No wonder when he was treating everyone to a meal, Tohru Yuugin had such a satisfied expression on his face.

The satisfaction after filling this calorie gap is indeed not to be underestimated...

The originally difficult mood has become beautiful.

After wiping the residue from his mouth with a tissue, Chojiro Suzuki waved his hand gracefully and removed the extra plate decorations.

"Arima-kun, you are worried about your lack of improvement today, right?"

Let’s get down to business.

Arima Shizuya's expression also became three points more serious.

"Yes."

"I'm curious why you are so anxious." Chojiro Suzuki raised his right hand, with his index finger raised flat, and stirred his mustache in a brisk gesture.

"From the time you became the God of Death to now, it has only been a year and a few months, right?"

"In just such a short time, you have already completed the Shikai training and gained enough strength to be a vice-captain."

"Really... If you hadn't insisted on hiding your identity, you would be an absolute celebrity in the Maou Spiritual Academy now."

Hearing this, Arima Shizuka inevitably let out a groan.

But he couldn't even fart.

I can’t tell you…

When she thought of the monsters and demons in the drama, Arima Jing felt that she couldn't stop at all.

Although time is his partner, this is only a temporary "alliance".

If we fail to look at this advantage objectively, it will only lead to counterproductive results.

"Well, I..."

"If it's inconvenient to speak, it's okay if you don't say it."

Just like the tone in which this was spoken.

Sumire Chojiro's expression was calm and steady, blending with the slightly burnt coffee aroma.

"In fact, Genryusai-sama also talked to me about this in private. He also thought that Arima-kun exuded an indescribable sense of anxiety."

Is it that obvious?

"But because it didn't hinder my practice, and I didn't lose any of my core skills and techniques, I didn't pursue it."

Thank you, Master Shan, for not killing me.

"But ultimately, this sentiment is still unhealthy."

As he spoke, the corners of Quebu's mouth slightly raised, and at this moment he turned his fingertips and lightly tapped to the side of his body.

"Let me give you a simple example, Arima-kun."

"This record player you were paying attention to just now..."

"I actually pieced that thing together bit by bit by myself."

Arima Shizuka was also startled.

"...Hey? Do you still have such amazing handicraft skills?"

"That is of course something that is developed day by day."

Quebu proudly raised his right hand and made a gesture with his five fingers slightly spread out.

"From the beginning, I was unfamiliar with everything. I didn't know anything."

"Until I gradually understood and became familiar with it...I took advantage of the breaks in my work to learn these boring and obscure things."

“It took five years to fully master it, and another ten years to put it into action and reproduce it in its entirety.”

and so.

"Can you understand what I'm trying to say, Arima-kun?"

Quebe's eyes were gentle, and he spoke calmly at this moment.

"Warning will only expose one's weaknesses and won't bring any help. Although a genius like Arima-kun will definitely create something of his own in the future."

"But until then, please stay focused on the present moment."

"A true gentleman would not do such a disrespectful act as taking a long step."

There was no room for rebuttal, and what the other party said was well-reasoned and there was no reason not to listen at this moment.

all in all.

Chojiro Suzuki is also using his own method to remind Arima Shizuya that he needs to be modest and not impatient...

I appreciate your kindness.

Arima Shizuka also half raised her head, and her expression became much more serious at this moment.

"I understand, Suzube-senpai...thank you for your guidance."
