Like a boulder falling into a deep lake, it ripples and sinks as it goes... until it lands heavily on Yusuke Matsushita's heart.
"Huh? Really? Are you crying?"
Seeing Soi Fon's teasing, half-smiling expression, Matsushita Yusuke turned his head away but didn't pull his hand back.
Matsushita Yusuke raised his hand and pressed the bridge of his nose, his voice slightly nasal.
"No, it was the wind."
There are no windows in the ward.
"That's an air conditioner."
"It's November now, late autumn. What temperature do you think it is?"
"...Ugh, so annoying."
"Haha, just admit it!"
Da da da.
A short, sharp sound came from behind.
Matsushita Yusuke turned his head slightly and saw Kotetsu Isane, who was holding a file bag, standing at the entrance, smiling and waving at the two of them.
"While we really don't want to interrupt this intimate time... we have to say that we need to do some necessary checks and follow-up procedures, so could Captain Matsushita please step out for a moment?"
Although the process is not as complete as in the human world, even in the Soul Society, the care for newborns is multifaceted.
It's reasonable to conduct various tests to rule out congenital diseases and the like.
Of course... Soi Fon also needs rest.
Although due to the captain-level physique, there is no danger to life... but it is still a physically demanding task.
So Matsushita Yusuke turned his head slightly and touched Soi Fon's head with a hint of shame.
"Thanks for your hard work."
The latter raised an eyebrow slightly and opened his mouth slightly, but in the end, he couldn't say anything.
He simply turned his head to the other side.
"Humph……"
Yusuke Matsushita left the ward, and in that brief pause in the conversation, a number of people had already gathered outside.
The members of the Eleventh Division stood neatly at the edge, and now, led by Gin Ichimaru and Kenpachi Zaraki, they rushed forward and began shouting all at once.
"Captain! How is the vice-captain?!"
"Why did you leave without saying a word? That's too formal!"
"Next time this happens, please let us know so we can at least do our part, like clearing the way!"
"But it's the middle of the night... what are you doing opening the road?"
These soldiers were mostly rough men, and even their speech was not coherent.
The female team members mixed in are obviously more practical... It is said that many of them have applied to take on nursing duties in the next few days.
The team members' sincerity was indeed infectious, and Matsushita Yusuke's expression changed slightly. He now nodded slightly to everyone and expressed his gratitude.
"Thank you for your concern..."
As for the rest...
Those were the unexpected attendees.
"I didn't expect you to be the first to arrive..."
With a sigh, Matsushita Yusuke looked at the youngest captain, smiled, and patted him on the shoulder.
"Toshiro, are you free at night?"
The latter seemed quite dissatisfied with this way of greeting, and now showed a helpless expression, dodging the slap while crossing his arms and turning his head to the side with a helpless look.
"How could that be?! I just heard the news and felt I should come and see for myself no matter what. After all, after all..."
Hesitantly, Toshiro lowered his gaze and muttered to himself as if talking to himself.
"I've received your care before..."
Matsumoto Rangiku, who was standing nearby, came over with a smile and said something along the way.
"The captain originally wanted to come straight over, but I said there was no use rushing now, so we bought two baskets of fruit on the way... Postpartum nutrition is very important!"
Matsushita Yusuke thanked him, then tucked Toshiro under his armpits and patted the boy's head.
"Ha, I'll talk to Soi Fon... You're very thoughtful."
"Ah... let go! My hair, my hair is getting messed up!!!"
After that, Matsushita Yusuke received several other people from other squads.
There was a captain, some vice-captains, and other representatives.
As mentioned before... it has been far too long since a newborn has appeared in the Gotei 13.
This change is like a stone thrown into stagnant water, stirring up wave after wave of ripples.
"The captain originally intended for me to deliver a set of wine vessels, but I think those things are utterly useless!"
At first, Nanao confidently pushed up her glasses and spoke in a rather proud tone.
"So I took the liberty of replacing the gift of the wine vessel with this whole set of skincare products! And considering the current situation of Vice Captain Soi Fon, I specifically purchased the high-end model that is 'harmless to mothers and babies'!"
Although he spoke with great pride, Matsushita Yusuke's expression was basically no different from that of the other male soldiers beside him.
—What is this guy talking about?
Even so, considering that Kotetsu Isane and others were amazed when they saw this skincare product, Matsushita Yusuke more or less understood the value of this product.
"In short, on behalf of Soi Fon, I'd like to thank you for your gift..."
With so many people coming and going, it was naturally quite lively.
Considering that he was born around midnight, Yusuke Matsushita originally thought it wouldn't have much of an impact.
But the fact is that nearly half of the Gotei 13 were 'boiling' tonight, and even as late as 4 a.m., visitors were still arriving.
Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni arrived with his deputy.
Unlike his usual lavish outings, the team leader was quite low-key this time. Not only did he only travel with his vice-captain, but even the so-called 'gifts' he brought were very simple.
"These are the children's clothes I mentioned before, basically covering everything from birth to age three. They can be used by both boys and girls..."
I thought it was just talk, but I didn't expect the old man to be serious.
How is Soi Fon doing now?
Yusuke Matsushita glanced behind him.
"He's already asleep. He looks very tired. He probably won't wake up until noon."
"I see..."
Yamamoto sighed with a hint of regret.
The old man had originally wanted to go in and check on the child...
295: Didn't you 'see' it?
Unable to get what he wanted, Yamamoto could only settle for a casual chat with Matsushita Yusuke.
"Although I don't like to use connections, I will help people like you as much as possible."
It was a bit of a mouthful, so Yamamoto paused for a moment, then leaned closer and whispered.
'If you need anything, ask the Sparrow Department for help. It's just a few things; a small, private enjoyment is fine.'
Abuse of power for personal gain, you'll be in big trouble!
It can only be said that Yamamoto's past image of being impartial and incorruptible has indeed shattered completely.
Is it because the Gotei 13 hasn't had any children in a long time? Everyone seems unusually excited...
Of course, Matsushita Yusuke's sentiments stemmed more from reasons related to his status and abilities.
The reason is also very simple.
Those are the children of Yusuke Matsushita and Soi Fon; there's no reason why they shouldn't be noticed.
After some gentle coaxing and pleading, the guard, Kotetsu Isane, finally relented and let Yamamoto and Suzaku go in... Of course, considering that the child was still sleeping, he couldn't touch him and could only observe from a distance.
But this seemed to satisfy the old man quite a bit.
When I walked out, I felt refreshed and energized.
"He seems to be in good health, which is better than anything else... Matsushita, I have official business to attend to, so I'll take my leave now. Remember to contact me if you need anything."
At this point, Matsushita Yusuke nodded in response and said with a smile.
"Thank you for your help. I will contact you if there are any issues."
After seeing Captain-Commander Yamamoto off, Matsushita Yusuke originally planned to find something to eat... but before he could leave the spot, a familiar spiritual pressure came from not far away, causing him to subconsciously stop in his tracks.
Look up.
Aizen Sousuke, accompanied by Tosen Kaname, was walking briskly toward him at that moment.
The two of them didn't have their usual aloofness and coldness; instead, they smiled warmly, as if they had just found two lottery winning tickets on the street...
After receiving one group of leaders, another group of leaders arrived.
But I can't let go of either of them, otherwise people will talk about me behind my back...
So, that's why undercover work is tough (shakes head and sighs).
Matsushita Yusuke sighed inwardly, then stood up and went to meet him.
"Captain Aizen... Captain Tosen."
Aizen Sousuke walked ahead, nodded in acknowledgment, and then looked towards the gate.
Needless to say, a simple gesture with his right hand... the purpose was clear!
Kotetsu Isane, who was already feeling guilty for unilaterally changing the rules, shook his head resolutely and stood in front of the entrance.
The Captain-Commander can make an exception once, but no one else can... Don't be fooled by how peaceful the Fourth Division usually is; we are very principled when it comes to crucial moments!
Perhaps startled by the sudden aura, Aizen stood still and blinked, clearly out of his mind at the moment.
"Have I offended Lieutenant Kotetsu in any way?"
"Uh? Ah...no, no, it's just...it's just that it's not visiting hours now, so we can't go in to see the children!"
"I see, I understand now."
Aizen Sousuke sighed helplessly, and instead of struggling, he followed up on Kotetsu Isane's words.
"Vice-Captain Kotetsu is truly dedicated. He deserves to be the second most trustworthy person in the Fourth Division. He's doing a great job."
"Uh, no, it's not that amazing..."
Commercial hype.
This is Aizen's unique skill, which allows him to remain unparalleled in the world even when he is not born.
Now, dealing with these young girls is a piece of cake... With a sigh, Matsushita Yusuke saw Aizen turn his head halfway and look at him at this moment.
"Matsushita-kun, can you come over and discuss this?"
His tone remained unchanged, and his demeanor was calm. It sounded like two friends were chatting about some lighthearted banter, giving no indication that anything was amiss.
But Yusuke Matsushita, having worked with his superiors for some time, was now keenly aware of the hidden meaning in their words.
This is not casual conversation.
There are official business matters...
"Please go ahead."
The three of them moved on and headed toward a quiet, secluded corner of the barracks.
Even before reaching their destination, Aizen's voice came from in front of them.
Is it a boy or a girl?
