Death: This Death is a bit unorthodox.

Tenbei Shusuke readily extended his hand, his gaze towards Aozaki Mayuki sincere.

He seemed like a devoted fanboy meeting his idol.

"Assistant..."

Aozaki Mayuki sighed somewhat helplessly:

"That old man Yamamoto is really something, making such a decision without even telling me."

"After all, these are extraordinary times!"

Tenbei Xiuzhu scratched his head and said with a smile.

"I am confident in my abilities, please rest assured, Captain!"

"I understand what the old man means. After all, it was my people who went missing. He was just afraid that I would go too far, so he found someone to keep an eye on me."

Aozaki Mayuki chuckled and waved his hand.

"If there's nothing else, you can go directly to the vice-captain's office to report for duty."

"Gin and Shishiro are currently managing the squad's affairs, and they will take care of everything for you."

"Just have Yinmeng report your work progress to me."

Tenbei Xiuzhu withdrew her hand and gave an awkward smile:

"Aozaki Mayuki is indeed a very easygoing person. Maybe we'll get along well if that's the case!"

"By the way, how come I've never seen you before?"

Aozaki Mayuki leaned back lazily in her seat and reached into the drawer to take out a packet of konpeito (Japanese candy).

This is what Kusajishi Yachiru secretly hid in his office.

According to the agreement, all the property of the four Zaraki members within three thousand years belongs to him.

In other words, these snacks of Yachiru are, strictly speaking, all his possessions.

So this doesn't count as him stealing food at all.

Can eating your own food be considered stealing?

"Because I have been fighting against Hollows for years, and I was only recently transferred back to Seireitei."

Tianbei Xiuzhu explained with a smile:

“Tracking and hunting are my strengths, which is probably why the Captain-Commander transferred me to the Eleventh Division.”

"Oh, right, there's another companion who came with me."

Tenbei Shusuke looked at Aozaki Mayuki, seemingly asking if his companion could come in.

After receiving permission from Aozaki Mayuki, Amagai Shusuke opened the door, and another person walked in.

He was a man wearing purple-rimmed glasses and with short, red hair.

He appeared somewhat refined, but exuded a faint chill.

"This is my comrade-in-arms from the expedition team, Kibune Risa. He joined the Eleventh Division just like me."

Tenbei Embroidery Assistant explained.

"Please take good care of me, Captain Aozaki."

Kibune Risa stood beside Amagai Shusuke, bowed deeply to Aozaki Mayuki, and spoke respectfully.

"There's no need for such formalities."

Aozaki Mayuki waved his hand.

"Kifune Risa's spiritual pressure is quite good. I remember you don't have a position yet, so why don't you become the Ninth Seat first?"

Upon hearing Aozaki Mayuki's words, Tenbei Shusuke and Kifune Risa were momentarily stunned.

Their spiritual pressure was contained and did not leak out at all, yet Aozaki Mayuki still managed to see through it.

For these sneaky, wicked guys, the skill of concealing spiritual pressure is a must-learn.

They even believe that their mastery of this technique is no less than that of the Second Division.

How terrifying is this guy's intuition?!

But nine seats... isn't that a bit too low?

This is completely contrary to their expectations!

“Captain Aozaki, Kibune Risa’s spiritual pressure has reached the level of a vice-captain.”

Tenbei Xiuzhu couldn't help but remind him.

Aozaki Mayuki said with a smile:

“I know, but this is the best seat for him.”

“If it weren’t for that guy who didn’t like the number ’nine’ and insisted on having ten seats, Kibune’s seat would have been ten seats.”

"This one……"

Kibune's expression turned slightly unpleasant, but he quickly recovered.

A vice-captain-level spiritual pressure, yet he can only manage to become a mid-level seated officer?

What kind of invincible squad is this?!

This is even more outrageous than the first team!

Those two guys who are vice-captains along with Tenbei Shusuke, could they both be captains?!

how can that be possible?

How could that old man Yamamoto allow such a squad to exist?!

"Actually, you don't need to worry. In the Eleventh Division, strength is the most important thing."

Aozaki Mayuki grinned and suddenly said:

"If you want to improve your rank, you can challenge those who are ranked higher than you."

"As long as we win, we can change positions, including my captaincy!"

Upon hearing this, Tenbei Shusuke frowned, feeling that Aozaki Mayuki's words were a temptation.

Kibune's eyes gleamed, and he seemed eager to try.

When he first graduated from the Shinigami Academy, he was determined to climb the ranks and had served in the Gotei 13 before joining the expedition team.

He was kicked out of the Gotei 13 because he was too eager to make a name for himself in every mission and disregarded the safety of his teammates.

Now that he possesses the spiritual pressure of a vice-captain, he is naturally unwilling to be a mid-level seat officer.

Chapter 316 Imaginary Enemy

"Thank you for your trust, Captain Aozaki. I will definitely work hard and shoulder the responsibilities of being the vice-captain."

With a deeply moved expression, Tenbei Shusuke bowed deeply in the direction where Aozaki Mayuki had left.

"That's enough, Lord Tenbei. Overdoing it isn't good either."

Just then, a slightly sinister voice rang out from the side.

Kibune leaned against the wall, adjusted his glasses, and looked at the man who was still bowing.

Upon hearing this, Tenbei Xiuzhu's face, which was buried deep and whose expression was impossible to see, changed.

The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, eventually revealing a somewhat cold smile.

That expression was completely different from the bold, friendly, and approachable image he had just displayed.

"Hehe, Mr. Kibune, please calm down."

Tenbei Xiuzhu said softly:

"I just thought the performance was very interesting."

Kibune frowned, seemingly somewhat dissatisfied with Amagai Shusuke's attitude.

But suppressing his emotions, he spoke:

"Lord Tenbei is in high spirits, but please don't get too carried away and forget our purpose."

Tenbei Shusuke slowly straightened up, looking out the window with a mocking glint in his eyes.

"Although there were some minor setbacks, the plan is still going smoothly."

Tenbei Shusuke straightened his clothes, stood by the window, and looked down at Aozaki Mayuki and Kurotsuchi Nemu, who were patrolling the barracks.

"I thought it would take some time before I could gain the trust of this highly skilled disciple of the chief captain."

He smiled slightly, a hint of smugness in his eyes.

"I never expected that this guy would trust his incompetent teacher so much and have no doubts about us at all."

Tenbei Shusuke shook his head with a cold laugh.

"It looks like we can start preparing for what we want to do now."

The face reflected in the glass by Tenbei Shusuke was expressionless, with dark and deep eyes.

"So what should I do now, Vice Captain Tenbei?"

Kibune also stood by the window, gazing in the direction where Aozaki Mayuki had disappeared.

His eyes held a hint of disdain and disgust.

What a short-sighted idiot!

Sooner or later, they will pay the price for their stupidity!

"The usual routine is sufficient, Kifune Ryo. Just do your best."

Upon hearing Kibune's question, Tenbei Shusuke laughed and walked towards the vice-captain's office.

"That Aozaki Mayuki has a high reputation in the 11th Division. In the eyes of the members, he has become the strongest Shinigami who surpasses Yamamoto."

"He seems like a dangerous guy. Maybe we should leave him alone for now."
