Death: This Death is a bit unorthodox.

Hasward was taken aback.

He truly did not expect this outcome.

Originally, it was thought that Aozaki Mayuki was only restricting Penida's movements.

He thought the Grim Reapers knew Penida's identity and wouldn't kill the noble Spirit King's left arm.

In retrospect, he had misjudged the situation.

But why?

Why wait until now when you could have killed him then?

Yhwach walked up to Hasswald.

"Changing the spirit particle array for entering and exiting the Shadow Realm is ultimately just a stopgap measure, not a long-term solution."

"That Grim Reaper named Aozaki Mayuki is indeed a threat. Let's prepare to relocate the Empire."

As he spoke, a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"But before I leave, I want to prepare a big gift for my old friend!"

…………

A month later, Aozaki Mayuki finally returned to the Eleventh Division barracks.

Inside the captain's office.

Nemu pulled a document from the archives and handed it to Mayuki Aozaki:

"Speaking of which, Lady True Moon, two new members joined the squad during your absence."

Aozaki Mayuki took the document, flipping through it while asking in confusion:

"A new recruit? How come I didn't know a new recruit joined the squad?"

Could it be that Gin Ichimaru and Toshiro Hitsugaya, those two traitors, have joined forces to usurp power and try to usurp my authority?

They actually dared to recruit people without telling me, their boss!

Hmph, that's really going too far.

I must find some time to properly punish Matsumoto Rangiku and Hinamori Momo.

However, Nemure saw through his thoughts, looked at Aozaki Mayuki with a disdainful gaze, and said:

"It was the Commander-in-Chief's order, and it has nothing to do with Lieutenant-Captain Hitsugaya and Lieutenant-Captain Ichimaru."

Stared at by Nemu's gaze, Aozaki Mayuki's heart began to race involuntarily.

But when he thought about how he had missed the chance to punish Rangiku and Momoko, he couldn't help but complain:

"Tch... Damn it."

Nie Yinmeng handed over the file with a look of disgust.

As Aozaki Mayuki took the file and began to look through it, Nemu Kurotsuchi slowly spoke:

"Your regular customer, the head of the Kasumi family, Ms. Kasumi Rurichiyo, has gone missing."

"This matter has recently caused quite a stir throughout the entire Soul Society."

"The Gotei 13 has mobilized a large number of personnel to search for her whereabouts."

As she spoke, Nie Yinmeng glanced at Jiu Nanbai, who was lying on the sofa playing games.

Whenever she was in charge of leading the search for Ruri Chiyo, she always showed extraordinary enthusiasm.

The reason is simple: they knew that the girl had a good relationship with Mazuki.

However, the Seireitei's mobilization of such a large force was not because of Aozaki Mayuki.

The real reason is that the Kasumi family is not only a high-ranking noble family, but also the most prominent noble family below the five great noble families, without exception.

They possess the technology that allows Soul Society to forge weapons for royalty.

Besides Zanpakuto, they also monopolized the forging of all weapons in the Seireitei.

For example, the wakizashi used by Retsu Unohana, as well as the hidden weapons used by the Second Division during assassinations, were all made by them.

Therefore, the Kasumi family held an extremely important position in the Seireitei.

As the head of the Kasumioji family, Ruri Chiyo's importance is self-evident.

Therefore, this incident attracted great attention from the Seireitei, who took various methods to find her.

They disappeared so quickly?

Aozaki Mayuki raised an eyebrow, a look of surprise on her face.

He remembered that this would take some time to happen, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

However, he didn't take this surprise to heart, simply shook his head slightly, and continued looking at the documents in his hand.

"In short, finding Princess Ruri Chiyo is the most important thing for each squad right now."

"As a result, our Eleventh Division has also deployed a lot of personnel, which has increased our workload for no reason."

"Actually, all the squads have had personnel changes, but our squad only sent two people, and so far their abilities seem pretty good."

Standing beside Aozaki Mayuki, Nie Yinmu looked at the unmoved Aozaki Mayuki and couldn't help but feel a surge of resentment.

She pouted, openly expressing her dissatisfaction.

"Thanks a lot."

Aozaki Mayuki noticed the change in Nemu's emotions and shook her head with a wry smile.

He put down the file, stood up, and expertly stroked Nie Yinmeng's long hair.

Chapter 315 Nine Seats

"Tenbei Shusuke... what does this guy do again?"

Aozaki Mayuki frowned, gently pinching her chin with her right hand, muttering to herself as she pondered.

After hearing what Aozaki Mayuki said, Nemu couldn't help but roll her eyes.

She sighed helplessly and reminded him:

"Lady Shingetsu, are you even listening to me?"

"He's one of the reinforcements sent to help the squad find Princess Ruri Chiyo!"

Considering her usual deliberately cold demeanor, she actually has a rather endearing, contrasting quality to her current state.

"I don't remember clearly, but it seems like he was someone who did bad things, though probably a minor character..."

Aozaki Mayuki nodded slowly.

Of course, Aozaki Mayuki's inability to remember is not the "reason" that Nemu mentioned for Amagai Shusuke joining the Eleventh Division.

His spiritual senses quickly detected two unfamiliar spiritual pressures not far from the office.

The strongest one should be Tenbei Shusuke, who is just a top-tier ordinary captain-level player.

Similar to Grimmjow of the Espada, he's a minor character at the peak of the third-level Spirit Might, almost reaching the second-level Spirit Might.

Indeed, there's no need to pay too much attention to it.

after awhile.

Boom boom boom!

A knock came at the door.

Aozaki Mayuki frowned slightly, and only after seeing that Nie Yinmeng had tidied her hair did she let her open the door.

Upon seeing the newcomer, Aozaki Mayuki was slightly taken aback.

That was a man that Aozaki Mayuki had never seen before.

Its appearance is quite wild.

He had long, messy hair, a full beard, and wore somewhat tattered clothes.

The man had a hearty smile on his face and seemed to be a very friendly and easy-going person.

However, Aozaki Mayuki felt a sense of familiarity towards him.

It's like Aizen wearing glasses, standing right in front of me.

It's not that this guy can be compared to Aizen, but Aozaki Mayuki has a familiar sense of false unease.

He's definitely a guy who'll do bad things!

Inzen: ?

The man walked in, glanced at Jiu Nanbai sitting on the sofa playing games, and said with some emotion:

"I had heard that Captain Aozaki takes great care of his subordinates, and now it seems that he was right."

"It is truly an honor for me to be Captain Aozaki's subordinate."

"You must be Tenbei Shusuke?"

Aozaki Mayuki propped her head up with one hand on the table and said.

He completely ignored Tenbei Shusuke's compliments.

Seeing his casual demeanor, the man was taken aback for a moment, but quickly recovered and said:

“That’s right, I am Tenbei Shusuke.”

"It was Captain-Commander Yamamoto who temporarily assigned me to the Eleventh Division as your assistant, as the vice-captain."

"You are the great hero who ended the war. I wanted to come and find you on my first day here, but unfortunately you were not here."

"I heard you were back today, so I came to pay you a visit."

"Nice to meet you, Captain Aozaki!"
