Starting as a pirate, he rose to become the strongest Shinigami in Soul Society.

Chapter 488 Sister Hana's Thousand Hands: Are you trying to be awkward?!

Fourth Division barracks.

In the gentian lawn, Sister Hua and Shutara Senjumaru, who have always been somewhat at odds and whose faces and hearts are not in harmony, sat facing each other.

Furthermore, Sister Hua was drinking, which is unusual for her.

"You called me over for drinks so early in the morning. Could it be that you've been so angry with Bane that you're tempted to kill someone but haven't found a suitable target, so you're targeting me instead?" Shutara Senjumaru's skeletal prosthetic arm held a wine bowl, sat dignifiedly on the grass, raised an eyebrow, and asked Hana-jie.

Upon hearing this, Sister Hua's smiling expression stiffened slightly, and she then opened her eyes, revealing a slit.

As expected, a wisp of murderous intent emanated from her half-hidden eyes, and then Sister Hua spoke up: "Don't you feel any anger in your heart?"

"Of course," said Shutara Senjumaru. "I despise irresponsible men the most, and that's exactly how he's behaving. So lately I've been thinking about how to skin him alive and make a haori out of him."

"Lacking responsibility," Hua Jie murmured softly. "That's true. He didn't even perform as well as that scumbag, Shihouin Ryoya."

At this point, both Hana-chan and Shutara Senjumaru turned their gazes toward the entrance to the courtyard.

At that moment, Bane was standing there somewhat awkwardly.

Clearly, those words were deliberately spoken by Hana and Shutara Senjumaru for Bane to hear.

"Oh dear, isn't this the busy acting captain?" Sister Hua sneered. "What brings you here today?"

"Ahem," Bane quickly said, "Don't talk nonsense! Our Gotei 13 doesn't have a position like Acting Captain-Commander!"

"But isn't that the kind of role some people play? They're so busy for half a year that they can't even be seen in public. Even the Captain-Commander wasn't as busy as you back then," Shutara Senjumaru said with a sneer.

Bane, shameless as ever, walked in and placed the two gifts he was carrying in front of Hana-nee and Shutaro Senju-maru respectively.

"Yaqianliu, didn't you say before that there was a kind of 'cursed flower' herb that you couldn't find anywhere? I specially went to the depths of Tianhua Mountain to pick this. Do you think it's old enough? I'll give it to you as a gift." Bane said with a flattering smile.

Before Hana could speak, Bane turned to Shutora Senjumaru and said, "Senjumaru, this is something I had Kuchiki Ginryu rummage through his treasury to find. It's the silk of the Pink Silkworm, which went extinct in Soul Society 1,600 years ago. I'm afraid there's only one left in Soul Society. I knew you liked these things, so I shamelessly begged him for it as a gift for you."

The items were all very precious and suited their tastes perfectly.

However, neither Sister Hua nor Shutara Senjumaru glanced at the gift, staring blankly at Bane without saying a word.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward, and Bane fidgeted with himself.

After a long silence, Sister Hua finally sighed and said, "You came to see us today just to tell us this? And to give us these two gifts?"

"If that's the case, you should take this gift and go back to where you came from," Shutara Senjumaru said with a sneer.

Hearing this, Bane took a deep breath, then sat down in front of the two men, his expression becoming serious, and said, "I have come here today because of something important that I need to apologize to and explain to you both."

Seeing that Bane suddenly became serious, Hana and Shutaro Senjumaru exchanged a glance and vaguely saw a hint of panic in each other's eyes.

This bastard, is he here to break up with me?!

Before the two of them could exchange any hints or messages, Bane spoke again: "Over the years, the three of us have gotten along quite well, but I don't think I've ever really expressed anything to you seriously, Unohana Yachiru, Shutara Senjumaru!"

When Bane called out their full names, Hana and Shutaro Senjumaru couldn't help but swallow hard.

"I, Cantilevery Bane, love you both from the bottom of my heart, and I'm not going to say a lie. From the very beginning, I was actually attracted to your beauty. You could say I was attracted at first sight. But later I gradually became infatuated with your talent, charm and so on. In short, even now, I still love you both very, very much!" Bane shouted loudly, his face flushed.

As soon as he shouted, many people in the Fourth Division barracks looked up to see what was happening. Since the Fourth Division was a medical team, most of the members were female Shinigami.

Upon seeing this, they excitedly shouted and yelled, as if they had witnessed something extraordinary.

Sitting opposite Bane, Hana and Shutaro Senjumaru blushed instantly upon being "confessed" to, and were at a loss for words.

In fact, the atmosphere within Seireitei was relatively open, with polygamy and polyandry being quite common.

However, people tend to be quite reserved in expressing their feelings. For example, Bane has been with the two of them for almost 170 years, and their relationship naturally developed. Bane has never expressed anything openly. The same goes for Hana and Senjumaru; they have never explicitly said anything.

Introverted and reserved.

Far away, on the drum tower sentry post of the 10th Division, Shinji Hirako, Kensei Rokusha, Sojun Kuchiki, Kenpachi Kusuyashiki, and a few others gathered together.

Each of them held a pair of binoculars specially used by the Tenth Division for surveillance, and from a great distance, they could clearly see the scene inside the Fourth Division's barracks.

"Wow, is Bane really that open-minded? I think I'm pretty outgoing, but now that we're in each other's shoes, I definitely wouldn't say something like that." Kenpachi Kuruyashiki said exaggeratedly.

Kuchiki Sojun said with a gentle smile, "I must say, the Spirit Lord's actions are indeed unpredictable. Vice Captain Zhenzi, you've got guts to dare to provoke him into doing something like this. Once he realizes what's going on, you'll be in big trouble."

"If he resolves these issues perfectly afterward, he'll be too busy thanking me to even think about settling scores with me," Hirako Shinji said confidently, holding the video recorder borrowed from the 12th Division while filming.

Kensei Muguruma, usually a man of few words, watched his actions and couldn't help but say, "As long as you don't do anything reckless, recording this is practically suicide, isn't it?"

"Hmph, foolish!" Hirako Shinji sneered. "I'll record this now and later present it as a gift to Captain Unohana and Captain Shutora. With their protection, what can the Spirit Lord do to me?"

"Huh?" Kensei Muguruma was clearly stunned by Shinji Hirako's outrageous actions. After a moment of bewilderment, he exclaimed, "How could you be so despicable!?"

"Once you become the vice-captain, you'll understand why I've become like this!" Hirako Shinji retorted without hesitation.

"I feel like Vice Captain Mako is really a bit obsessed," Kenpachi Kuruyashiki couldn't help but say.

Kuchiki Sojun couldn't help but put a little distance between himself and him, saying, "We should stay away from this kind of person in normal times, lest he get into trouble and blood splatters on us. If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have come today."

Hirako Shinji was having a fit of madness, which terrified Kensei Rokusha, Sojun Kuchiki, and Kenpachi Kuruyashiki, who were filled with regret.

Meanwhile, Hua Jie, having regained her senses, couldn't suppress her flushed face. She glared angrily at the team members peeking out from various corners, eager to watch the spectacle, and shouted, "If you don't want to be used as teaching examples, then disappear immediately!"

"Wow, the captain's angry!"

The latest novel is first published here!

"No, she's just shy!"

"Exactly! Look how red her face is! I've never seen a captain like that before!"

Hearing this, Sister Hua was so angry she wanted to bite her teeth. Just as she was about to unleash her fury, the team members giggled and fled.

Shutara Senjumaru was now completely flushed, steam rising from her head like a steam princess, and stammered, "After everything has come to this, why are you suddenly saying such embarrassing things!?"

Sister Hua, on the other hand, was a bit more magnanimous. She gave Bane a shy yet slightly displeased glare and said, "Shouldn't we find a quiet place, in private, to say these things?"

"No, I want everyone to hear it. After all, I don't think there's anything to be ashamed of about this kind of thing. I just like it!" Bane seemed to have completely let loose, still speaking in a loud and energetic voice.

You could hear his voice even from two streets away.

As if they had learned something interesting, Tenseiin Chika, Shihouin Ryouya, and Kuchiki Ginrin, who had previously taken a break from the squad, secretly lay on the roof of the Fourth Division barracks, curiously watching the spectacle.

"In short, this is the feeling I have now. The main reason I am expressing this to you today is because I also have some apologies. Although I mentioned it more than a hundred years ago, although I never married, I had someone like a wife." Bane began to loudly recount his experiences in this regard.

Just moments ago, Hana-chan and Shutara Senjumaru were both embarrassed and amused by his shameless behavior, unsure of what to do with this thick-skinned guy.

In particular, Bane stopped hiding anything from people and talked about everything.

On the roof, Ryoya Shihouin couldn't help but say, "How can you say things like that? He's really courting death!"

"What do you know?!" Tenjingyuan Qianhua suddenly erupted in anger, coldly snorting as she looked at Shifengyuan Liangye and said, "If you had even half the courage and awareness of the Spirit Venerable back then, we...we...humph...we're leaving, we're not watching anymore, the more we watch, the angrier we get!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Tenjingyuan Qianhua turned and gracefully left, leaving Shifengyuan Liangye completely bewildered.

Kuchiki Ginryu stroked her beard and said with a chuckle, "I think Chika is right."

"So in about ten years, they will also be coming to the Soul Society. Although my actions are somewhat shameless, I will never abandon anyone for anyone's sake. I am here today to express this point: even if you are angry and unwilling to get along, I will never give in. Even if I am slashed by Yachiru every day, even if I am pricked by Senjumaru every day, I will forcibly keep you by my side and not allow any of you to leave! That is what I have to say. Now, kill me or do whatever you want!" Bane spoke unreasonable words as if he were going to his death.

Hana-chan and Shutara Senjumaru exchanged a glance, a flash of annoyance crossing their eyes simultaneously.

Then they both looked at Bane.

"Since that's the case, then I won't stand on ceremony!" Sister Hua slowly drew her Zanpakuto from her waist.

Shutara Senjumaru, his fingertips also gripping a chilling silver needle, said softly, "Let me first pierce your body with your countless crimes!"

Although Bane's actions today made the two of them feel childish, embarrassed, and ashamed, and they wished they could cover their faces and run away.

But I must say, the complaints and annoyance I had felt earlier have actually dissipated considerably.

That's what Seireitei was like.

It's okay if you find several wives, but if you lack responsibility and don't dare to stand up, then Sister Hua and Shutara Senjumaru will always feel that they have made a mistake in their relationship.
