Both start in hell: but their talents are multiplied a hundredfold.

Soul Society, Seireitei, First Division Barracks.

Kyoraku Shunsui hurriedly walked out of Captain-Commander Yamamoto's office in a disheveled state.

His straw hat was tilted askew by Yamamoto's shouting.

Shen Jue and Ai Ran have reported the unexpected situation that occurred during the special rescue mission.

The nobles of the Central 46 remained silent.

Only the old captain was so angry that he smashed his beloved teapot.

After all, most of the captain-level Grim Reapers who defected were graduates of the Shinigami Academy.

These are all adorable children that Mr. Yamamoto painstakingly nurtured for the future and order of Soul Society.

One by one, they were corrupted by the Hollow, defected from Soul Society, and hid in the human world.

According to Shen Jue and Aizen's reports, the rogue Shinigami who attacked Aizen did not lose their minds after being corrupted by the power of Hollows.

Instead, it retains the memories and humanity of being a grim reaper.

This greatly interested Captain Mayuri Kurotsuchi of the Twelfth Division's Technology Development Bureau, who went to Aizen more than once to inquire about the details of the Shinigami who had been corrupted by Hollows.

What made it hard for Shen Jue to keep his composure was that Aizen was given a paid leave after the Captain-Commander comforted him with a few words, while he was stared at by the Captain-Commander's strange gaze for a long time.

Shen Jue felt a chill run down his spine and used a detailed cultivation record of the Return to the Dao: Reincarnation and Rebirth Technique to attract the captain's attention.

"The Shiba family has given up on finding Shiba Isshin. You will temporarily serve as the captain of the 10th Division." The Captain-Commander kicked Shen Jue out of the office.

Then Kyoraku Shunsui entered the old man's office.

In the end, Kyoraku Shunsui fled in a sorry state amidst the Captain-Commander's angry rebukes.

"Brother Shunsui," Shen Jue said to Kyoraku Shunsui with a hint of schadenfreude, "have you proposed building a luxurious izakaya in Seireitei again?"

Upon hearing Shen Jue's words, Kyoraku Shunsui said with a dark expression, "I've applied to the old man for permission to go to the mortal world to investigate the defection incident."

"The old man actually told me not to cause trouble."

"Oh well, there's nothing I can do."

Shen Jue nodded thoughtfully.

"On the contrary, it's you," Kyoraku Shunsui said, giving Shen Jue the strange look that Captain-Commander had given him, "I've read your and Captain Aizen's reports."

"I didn't expect you to have such unique tastes."

"?" Shen Jue looked completely bewildered, not understanding what Kyoraku Shunsui meant.

"Heh heh, even though the matriarch of the Shihouin family is a dark-skinned, mature woman with a sweet, childlike voice, you brat are actually willing to give up an entire forest for a single tree?"

"Why would you say that? Who spread this rumor?" Shen Jue asked, puzzled.

"Your report says you had a chance encounter with Yoruichi Shihouin," Kyoraku Shunsui said with an approving look. "That couldn't be a coincidence, could it?"

"You noticed Yoruichi's spiritual pressure and deliberately followed her, then intentionally let her go, paving the way for Yoruichi's return to Seireitei in the future, right?" Kyoraku Shunsui said with a smug smile.

"Don't underestimate my intelligence network!"

"You two, before Yoruichi defected, you would spend every few days in the training grounds," Kyoraku Shunsui said. "I didn't expect that after so many years, you would still be so hung up on her."

"Then we should keep a low profile for now and do our best to find out the truth about the defection incident," Kyoraku Shunsui said solemnly, "to clear Yoruichi and the others of their crimes and openly marry the matriarch of the Shihouin family."

Shen Jue tilted his head, looking uneasy. Kyoraku Shunsui's guess was mostly right, but not entirely.

Shen Jue did indeed deliberately let Yoruichi Shihouin go, but he wasn't the male lead in some melodramatic love story.

Shen Jue did not explain, as explaining at this time would only deepen Jing Le Chun Shui's misunderstanding.

He shrugged and was about to run away.

Unexpectedly, Kyoraku Shunsui grabbed his shoulder and said, "Brother, I knew I hadn't misjudged you! Me and Ukitake, you and Aizen."

"It hasn't been long, and the investigation into the defection has made so much progress thanks to you and Aizen!"

"Our team of a few is absolutely capable of uncovering the truth behind this defection!"

"Stop looking for the truth, Brother Chunshui. Why don't you just ask me directly? Maybe I'll confess to the crime then," Shen Jue thought to himself, barely managing to control his facial expression.

"Let's go, we won't leave until we're drunk tonight." Kyoraku Shunsui pulled Shen Jue and walked out.

Then the two saw Retsu Unohana, the captain of the Fourth Division, staring at Shen Jue and Shunsui Kyoraku with eyes that looked like trash.

The gentle, beautiful, and mature Grim Reaper with her long black braids looked at Shen Jue with an indescribable emotion in her eyes.

Kyoraku Shunsui was struck dumb, his gaze constantly shifting between Unohana Retsu and Shen Jue.

He was so excited, like Columbus discovering a new continent, that his whole body trembled.

"Ah, Captain Unohana Retsu," Shen Jue said, feigning ignorance, "It's been a long time."

"Your temperament and appearance have become even more beautiful."

"Is that so?" Retsu Unohana said, continuing to look at Shen Jue with that look of disdain, causing Shen Jue to swallow hard.

"I still need to report to the Captain-Commander on the work of the Fourth Division. Acting Captain Shen Jue, Captain Kyoraku Shunsui, please make yourselves at home."

Shen Jue found it hard to explain this feeling. He could only say that Unohana Retsu spoke to him with a gentle smile, looking at him with the eyes of someone looking at trash.

At this moment, something was starting to attract Shen Jue's attention.

"I'd be willing to be slashed ten times by Captain Unohana Retsu's Zanpakuto!" Shen Jue thought to himself.

Kyoraku Shunsui pulled Shen Jue away and fled. Shen Jue was still savoring Unohana Retsu's gaze when he heard Kyoraku Shunsui whisper, "Brother Shen Jue."

"Did Yoruichi Shihouin, that violent girl, awaken some strange fetish in you?"

"When you were facing Captain Unohana Retsu just now, you were practically running over to lick her toes."

"That's slander! Brother Chunshui!" Shen Jue was stunned, and said with great pain, "I trusted you so much for nothing."

"Look how many rumors you've spread about me today!"

Kyoraku Shunsui said with a smile, "Listen to your advice, brother, Shen Jue."

"Your reputation is not just bad enough to be known by all the noble families and female Shinigami of the Gotei 13."

"Even the Avici Hell, which is suppressed below the First Division of Seireitei, has criminals who have heard of your reputation."

"Captain Unohana Retsu is incapable of romantic love, especially given your reputation... sigh."

Kyoraku Shunsui sighed heavily, as if blaming Shen Jue for his greed. There weren't many girls as good as Yoruichi Shihouin, and he was afraid that Shen Jue would ruin himself.

Shen Jue was furious and said angrily, "Brother Chunshui, do you think your reputation is any better than mine?"

"That was just my appreciation of beauty," Kyoraku Shunsui said with a smile, "like a flower."

"Those flowers are blooming so beautifully, if I don't pick them, I'll seem like I have no taste for romance."

Shen Jue remained silent. The way the mature and elegant Unohana Retsu looked at him was most likely due to the hidden nature of her murderous tendencies.

Unable to resist the urge to draw her sword and chop someone up, the mature and elegant Unohana Retsu looked at Shen Jue with eyes full of indescribable emotions.

Kyoraku Shunsui and Shen Jue chatted and laughed all the way, their arms around each other's shoulders as they walked towards the brothel outside Rukongai.

Having nothing to do today, I'm listening to music at the brothel.

Inside the white space.

Death God Shen Jue arrived at the white space in high spirits. Having fought for half the night, he was in an exceptionally good mood today.

Upon arriving in the white space, Shen Jue encountered Shen Jue from Demon Slayer, whose aura resembled Aizen's.

Demon Slayer greeted Death God Shen Jue with a smile and exchanged memories with him.

After reading the memories in his mind, Death God Shen Jue retorted forcefully, "You lolicon."
