I'm really not the number one slacker in Soul Society.

Having achieved his goal, Mima had no intention of staying any longer to chat with this irritating Zanpakuto spirit, and immediately prepared to leave the Sword Zen sect.

"Hey, wait a minute, don't rush off."

Sitting on the bed, Liu Yue beckoned to him: "I have something to tell you."

"Hmm?" Mima stopped. "What's wrong?"

"Ahem...it's a little...embarrassing to talk about."

"?"

At this point, Liu Yue turned her gaze toward the ceiling, a suspicious blush suddenly appearing on her face: "Although I can understand the excitement of a virgin of over forty years suddenly experiencing a rebirth, please control your emotions. After all, I... cough, can basically sense what you're thinking, such as... imagining sexual positions and the like."

Mi Zhen was stunned for a moment, then her face turned red.

"Climb limb limb limb limb limb!!!" he roared in anger and shame, then cut the sword Zen without hesitation.

Back in her room, Mima was still somewhat indignant.

Is it my fault that I'm a virgin?

When he was killed by a dump truck in his previous life, he was just a miserable college student preparing for the postgraduate entrance exam, busy memorizing vocabulary and doing exercises all day long, and had no time to find a partner.

After transmigrating, it took Yama quite a while just to accept the Soul Society. After that, he studied at the Shinigami Academy. After graduating, he had a lot of free time, but unfortunately, the environment of the Gotei 13 was too male-dominated, with very few female Shinigami. Moreover, he had to consider the issue of compatibility of their values. In the end, the only one he could consider as a target was Lisa Yadomaru.

However, sometimes, getting too familiar with someone can also be a sin.

He and Lisa certainly had a close, brotherly relationship; drinking, playing cards, going out together, and even sneaking away to read erotic novels were commonplace for them.

But the more he did this, the less likely he was to express his desire to take things further.

After all, their relationship was never quite like that of a proper man and woman from the beginning... A large part of the reason for Mima's rapid promotion was due to Lisa's support. Over time, their relationship became like that of siblings. They were very close, but it was a tragedy that they couldn't change their close bond.

If it weren't for the Aizen incident, this situation might not have changed for many years.

...From this perspective, he seems to have to thank Aizen.

The world is ever-changing; that's just how it is.

Some time later, someone suddenly knocked on Mizhen's door.

"Mizhen, I'm coming in."

A familiar voice came from outside.

“Didn’t we put up a sign…” Mima rolled her eyes. “Captain, it’s about time you learned what it means to respect privacy!”

"That's a bad word."

At this point, the wooden door to the room was slowly opened, revealing Chunshui hidden behind it.

He walked in knowingly, sat down, picked up the teapot, poured himself a cup, took a sip, and said, "Didn't I knock on the door?"

"..." Mi Zhen stared at him silently until Chun Shui whistled and looked away.

"Well, Captain, I've come to see you with serious business." Shunsui took a sip of tea. "The Soul Society has been in quite a mess these past few days."

As Shunsui said, the Soul Society has been more than just chaotic lately; it's practically turned into a stew that's been overturned.

During these three days, news broke that the Visoreds had disappeared. Enraged, the 46th Chamber displayed an unusually high efficiency, adding a whole host of charges against Urahara and the others, and dispatching a large force to search all over Soul Society in an effort to find these traitors.

Koya, who had disappeared without a trace, was also presumed dead, and the blame was naturally placed on Urahara.

As a result, the Gotei 13 lost six captains, three vice-captains, and the leaders and deputy leaders of the Kido Clan.

Nearly half of the senior personnel were gone in a single day; anyone with a modicum of political common sense can understand how terrifying this situation is.

Therefore, after the execution order was issued, the Seireitei immediately fell into great turmoil.

How to fill the vacancies of the team leader and deputy team leader, how to hand over their responsibilities, and more, more far-reaching consequences...

Everything is a huge problem.

However, none of this had anything to do with Mima.

He fabricated a reason that he was "emotionally traumatized and needed to take a break," locked himself in his room, and entered a state of complete detachment from the world.

However, now that Chunshui has come knocking, the excuse has probably run its course.

“Please speak, Captain.” Mima scratched his head. “But it’s best if it’s not something too troublesome.”

"This request is not easy to grant..."

Chunshui sighed: "Mizhen, you know the situation..."

"Wait a minute!" Mima said warily. "Don't try to lower my defenses with those kinds of words!"

Upon hearing this, Chunshui cast a regretful and sorrowful look at Mizhen: "Since that's the case, then I'll just..."

Mizhen quickly stood up: "I suddenly feel a bit of a stomachache, so I need to go to the outhouse. Captain, you don't need to wait for me."

But as he turned to walk out of the room, Chunshui suddenly grabbed his arm and said:

"Hiding won't help. Even if you go into the outhouse, I'll follow you in and finish what I have to say."

"..."

Mima clicked her tongue, turned around and sat down. "Alright..."

"In short, because of Lisa-chan's 'defection,' the position of vice-captain of our Eighth Division is now vacant." Shunsui cleared his throat. "At a time when we are desperately seeking talent, Mima, are you interested in filling the vacancy left by your Lisa-neechan?"

Mizhen immediately shook her head vigorously, like a rattle drum.

Are you kidding me?! Whoever wants that crappy vice-captain position can have it!

Salary and power are irrelevant; the key issue is that the deputy captain's workload is enormous. He has to be on call almost 24 hours a day, and the amount of paperwork he has to handle is more than ten times that of the fifth-ranked captain!

“What merit do I, a mere salted fish, possess?” Mi Zhen said firmly. “You should find someone more capable… I think Nanao is quite good; she is serious and very responsible.”

—Their resistance was so firm that they even resorted to honorifics.

Chunshui squinted and said, "Qixu is not even an adult yet..."

"In short, you should ask someone else for this kind of thing." Mi Zhen crossed her arms to show her resistance and said, "I'm very comfortable in the fifth seat, and it's impossible for me to change it."

"I knew you'd give this answer..."

Chunshui raised her hand and scratched her face: "Since that's the case, then I won't force you."

Mima exclaimed excitedly, "That's exactly right!"

"But as you know, the Gotei 13 is currently short-handed."

Suddenly, Chunshui changed the subject: "As a team member, you also have an obligation to do your part in the chaos."

The logic was impeccable, so Mi Zhen could only nod.

Then he saw the smug smile on Chunshui's face.

"So, I have a secret mission for you." Chunshui patted his chest. "The reward is generous, the timeframe is short, and the risk is minimal."

"That sounds suspicious..." Mima's lips twitched. "Can I refuse?"

"Then choose one, promotion or mission?" Chunshui held up two fingers. "Although I can't directly appoint you as the vice captain, I still have the authority to promote you to the third or fourth seat."

"This……"

Like everyone else, Mima possesses a harmonious personality.

If you were told directly that he needed you to carry out a secret mission, he definitely wouldn't do it.

But if you advocate for his promotion and give him more work, he will compromise and be willing to carry out secret missions!

Mijin raised his hands in surrender.

Although it had a suspicious, pyramid scheme-like feel to it, it sounded somewhat believable coming from Chunshui's mouth—although it sounded like a hellish joke, Chunshui had just caused Lisa's death because of his "wrong decision," and he couldn't possibly let Mizhen do anything he wasn't sure of right now.

“Alright…” Mima sighed, “It would be best if the reward was really generous.”

Chunshui held up two fingers: "Two years' worth of wages."

Mi Zhen raised an eyebrow: "Deal."

After engaging in some dirty dealings, the two returned to the coffee table, sat down face to face, and began to talk in detail.

"Specifically, what is the task?"

Mima asked the question that concerned her most: "Where will it be carried out, and how many people will be attacked?"

"What are you thinking..." Shunsui took out his pipe and lit it for himself. "It's right here in Seireitei, and there's no need to use violence... Well, that's the principle."

"Don't pull these kinds of plot twists that sound really dangerous..."

“After all, I’m not some kind of prophet, Captain.” Chunshui took a deep drag of his cigarette and stroked his chin. “...Where should I begin? Hmm, Mima, you should know the most crucial part of this ‘rebellion,’ right?”

“Who knows?” Mima replied casually. “I guess the head of the Shihouin family is also among the ‘traitors’.”

"Yes."

Chunshui nodded: "Although it's a bit unfair to Hirako and the others to say this, the fact that one of the five nobles has become a 'traitor' is much more serious than the deaths of several captains. The Shihōin family was in an uproar when they heard the news, and the entire Hidden Force and lower noble families like the Bee Family also started to fall into chaos."

Chapter 69: The Target, Tsunayoshiro [Fourth Update]

“As expected.” Mima snorted. “It’s not just the Shihōin faction, is it? The Urahara family’s presence is almost weaker than the Shiba family’s, but a captain who came from the family was sentenced to death by the 46 Chambers… It would be strange if there wasn’t any commotion.”

“That’s right. If it were just Kisuke being sentenced to death, the Urahara family might have swallowed their anger. But now that the Shihōin family is on their side, things are quite interesting.”

Shunsui chuckled and continued, "A few days have passed, and the Urahara family should have received the news by now. They will definitely react and make things even more complicated in Seireitei."

"Does the captain mean I should take advantage of the situation?"

"exactly."

"Tsk...that sounds dangerous." Mima sighed. "So, who's the target?"

Chunshui tapped his pipe on the table and replied with a smile, "Tsunayoshi."

—Here's a bit of obscure knowledge I need to mention.

Although Shunsui was also of noble birth, he couldn't get along with the old-fashioned group led by the Tsunayashiro family. He was also very unhappy with the various evil deeds committed by the mourners. Since he took office as captain, he had been making trouble for the Tsunayashiro family openly and secretly for hundreds of years.

It can be said that Shunsui has made great contributions to the gradual decline of the Tsunami family.

However, his approach was still too conciliatory. Although he was also an opponent, he did not share the same ideology as Yama and Aizen that "whoever opposes you must be killed along with their entire family." Therefore, neither of the latter two had any intention of cooperating with him.

Now, it is perfectly reasonable for Shunsui to say that he wants to take advantage of the chaos to give the Tsunayoshi family a chance to make a living.
