Death: This Death is a bit unorthodox.

Aozaki Mayuki sighed helplessly:

"I feel like I need to ask someone for help."

Unohana Retsu smiled and said:

"Who should I call? Or should we come and help you?"

Retsu Unohana leaned against Mayuki Aozaki's chest like a lazy cat, feeling his steady heartbeat.

Those three children were all quite talented.

If Aozaki Mayuki wanted her to help with the training, she wouldn't necessarily refuse.

"Yoruichi and the others would also work. They're practically doing nothing as your personal bodyguards now, and they have time every day."

"You guys... you should just forget about it."

Aozaki Mayuki responded casually, her tone clearly indicating a complete lack of trust in her lovers.

If we let Retsu Unohana and Yoruichi Shihouin take care of the child, they'll either become serial killers or lunatics. What third possibility is there?

He certainly didn't want those three little girls to turn into either of those types of people.

Their personalities are already quite complex; adding more elements would only make things more complicated.

Meeting Unohana Retsu's sharp gaze, Aozaki Mayuki lowered his head and kissed her lips, trying to soothe her emotions.

The moment the soft sensation traveled from his tongue and lips, a plan suddenly came to him.

He is now a high-ranking nobleman.

But which of the adults on the noble street takes care of their own children? Don't they all rely on servants to help them?

The young ladies sent by nobles in the backyard didn't seem like they knew how to take care of people.

They struggle to take care of themselves on a regular basis, and whenever they have free time, they always ask me for help.

Getting soaked to the bone just from fixing a water pipe, who can stand that?

They refused to go to the noble street to ask someone to fix it themselves.

Let's forget about having them take care of the children.

"I haven't fully indulged in the life of an aristocrat all these years. I've worn maid outfits and such, but I've never actually worn a real maid. How about..."

Aozaki Mayuki thought to herself, while her hands were busy helping Unohana Retsu put on her clothes.

"Lie, I'm going to prepare breakfast with the kids. Remember to come and eat!"

Aozaki Mayuki spoke gently to Unohana Retsu.

"You really like them, huh?"

Unohana Retsu wore a gentle smile as her delicate hands roamed over Aozaki Mayuki's body, skillfully adjusting his collar.

They've gotten used to this kind of life.

"...Are you jealous?"

Aozaki Mayuki raised an eyebrow and teased.

"It seems... there is indeed a little bit!"

Unohana Retsu smiled, looking at him with a half-smile.

"I think I'm a little unhappy, what should I do?"

"Is there even a question?"

Without hesitation, Aozaki Mayuki hugged Unohana Retsu tightly and gently pressed his lips to hers.

Retsu Unohana closed her eyes, savoring the beautiful moment.

She wrapped her arms tightly around Aozaki Mayuki's waist, as if trying to merge him into her own body.

Chapter 287 Beautiful Boy

After breakfast, with Gin Ichimaru stationed in the human world, Maki Aozaki returned to the Eleventh Division to take charge of the overall situation, a rare occurrence.

He sat at his desk, rubbing his temples, about to process some documents when suddenly there was a rapid knocking on the door.

"Dong Dong Dong!!!"

Aozaki Mayuki had barely entered the office and hadn't even settled in when she heard a knock on the door.

Pushing open the door, Izumo entered.

"Captain, Rukongai has been invaded by the Gillian!"

Looking at Izumo bowing respectfully, Aozaki Mayuki asked in confusion:

"Where is Vice Captain Zaraki?"

"Vice Captain Zaraki has gone to the First Division for further training."

Chu Yun nodded slightly.

"These brainless bastards really know how to cause me trouble. Maybe I should just build a ranch in Las Noches and manage it centrally, so they won't keep causing me problems..."

Aozaki Mayuki thought helplessly, then nodded slightly.

"Kilian? Get two squads and come with me."

He could easily deal with a mere Kyrian.

But he didn't become the team leader to be their babysitter.

…………

"There's no Hollow at all!"

Feeling a bit bored, Kusajishi Yachiru kicked at the pebbles on the ground while muttering to herself.

Although her voice, which sounded like she was talking to herself, wasn't loud, it was just loud enough for the other three people to hear clearly.

Aozaki Mayuki chuckled upon hearing Kusajishi Yachiru's complaint.

He placed one hand on Kusanagi Yachiru's small head, gently stroking her hair, and comforted her, saying:

"Alright, Yachiru, we're almost there. Just bear with it for a bit."

Next, Aozaki Mayuki turned her gaze to Madarame Ikkaku and Ayasegawa Yumichika, who were standing behind Kusajishi Yachiru.

"This is your first time participating in an expeditionary mission, so do your best!"

Upon hearing this, Madarame Ikkaku and Ayasegawa Yumichika immediately straightened their backs and answered earnestly:

"Yes, Boss Zhenyue! We will definitely do our best!"

Aozaki Mayuki nodded in satisfaction, then turned to look at Kusajishi Yachiru beside her.

Kusajishi Yachiru was grinning adorably, clutching his clothes and shaking them tightly.

Aozaki Mayuki smiled helplessly and asked:

"What's wrong, Yachiru?"

Kusajiro Yachiru chuckled and said in a coquettish tone:

"Ayumi, I want to eat konpeito~"

Aozaki Mayuki frowned and said in a deliberately serious tone:

Didn't I just give you a bag?

Kusajiro Yachiru shook the bag in her hand and said pitifully:

"I'm done eating..."

Aozaki Mayuki couldn't help but pinch her little cheek and said with a smile:

"Bear with it for now. When we get back, I'll treat you to a feast at my house!"

"And desserts too."

"no problem."

"Yes, Yue is the best."

Just as Kusajishi Yachiru was pondering how much konpeito and sweets she would eat when she got back...

A terrified scream suddenly came from afar, followed by a familiar sense of spiritual pressure.

"It's a phantom. Judging from the intensity of this spiritual pressure, it should be Gillian, right?"

Without hesitation, Ikkaku Madarame drew his long sword from his waist, his eyes filled with excitement and sharpness.

"Let me have a go at it!"

"and many more!"

Ayasegawa Yumichika rushed up behind Madarame Ikkaku and said with a serious expression,

"It seems someone has been attacked."

“Ikkaku, seat seven, and Yumichika, seat ten. You two will deal with those Hollows. I and Yachiru, seat six, will be responsible for rescuing the civilians who have been attacked.”

Aozaki Mayuki tightly grasped the excited Kusajishi Yachiru and quickly issued the order.

"But......"

Ayasegawa Yumichika looked troubled, as if he still had some doubts.

But Ikkaku Madarame interrupted without hesitation:

"Don't worry, boss! Leave that big guy to me!"

After saying that, Madarame Ikkaku drew his Zanpakuto.

"Stretch out, Hozuki-maru!"

He then joined the hilt and scabbard together, transforming it into a sharp spear.
