The only player in the world of Bleach

He did say similar things in the past to deflate this arrogance, but now it seems that it was somewhat too idealistic.

When Matsushita Hikari is in full play, she can draw upon three powers. When they are used in fusion, even a high-ranking captain would not be able to gain the upper hand against her.

of course……

Because of his young age, he couldn't perform at his best.

"Everyone is just being lenient with you; it's not like they can't do anything about you at all."

"I don't care! The only ones who can beat me are you, Dad, and Yama-no-Kami. Also... well, Aizen-san probably counts as one too!"

But despite saying that, the person involved seemed rather unconvinced.

"But Aizen's methods are really annoying... He always likes to use confusing methods to tease people, and sparring with him is the most boring thing!"

"Ha... If your Aizen uncle heard this, he probably wouldn't be able to stop crying."

Amidst these reflections, the topic returned to the present moment.

"Half a month, Rinka. Stay for another half a month... If you have time during this time, give that guy some guidance, and then you can come back."

"...Tsk."

"Don't talk back to your old man like that. Do you want to get a good spanking when you get back?"

"Sorry! That's all for now!"

Snapped.

The sound stopped.

Looking at the ripples spreading out in front of him, Yusuke Matsushita understood that this was a sign that the communication had been interrupted.

He leaned back slightly, his facial muscles twitched slightly, and finally managed a helpless smile.

In fact, he couldn't do anything about his daughter.

While the Soul Society isn't exactly a place where strength reigns supreme, someone like her, who was strong enough to crush most people from the moment she was born, coupled with such a high level of teaching staff... it's reasonable that she could make such progress.

Although I've been wanting to make her suffer a little, honestly, I haven't had a chance yet.

After all, those who can beat her generally won't stoop to the level of a girl.

dong dong dong.

There was a knock on the door. Yusuke Matsushita leaned back slightly, looked up, and spoke.

"Come in."

The door was pushed open, and Soi Fon, with her new short hair and usual attire, strode in.

She examined the file in her hand, muttering short, incoherent words to herself.

"The Second Division and the Third Division want to conduct a joint exercise, during which some of our Eleventh Division members will be assigned as practice subjects... Take a look, and if there are no problems, sign it."

"Oh, is that it... Old Man Shan mentioned it before, just let them carry it out directly, don't worry too much."

Similar incidents are not uncommon for the current Gotei 13.

Yusuke Matsushita glanced at it briefly, then looked up and smiled.

"At this stage, the main task of the Gotei 13 is to constantly rehearse and mobilize for future wars, so that everyone can remain calm and composed in case of emergencies, and at the same time organize resistance forces... That's good enough."

In fact, this is also a project that the parties involved have been promoting over the years.

The reason is quite simple.

Based on the content depicted in the original work, when the Gotei 13 suffered their first invasion by the Wandenreich, not only did they suffer heavy losses, but the lower-ranking Shinigami themselves were also in a state of confusion regarding this sudden war.

Too much peace... or rather, the absence of war for so many years has caused many young people to lose their sense of crisis in this regard.

Matsushita Yusuke's goal was to enable these people to rediscover something from their past.

That's it.

After all, it's enough if the lower levels don't fall into chaos; the most important thing is the actual performance of the high-end combat forces.

"Send this to your subordinates. I approve of it... Also, let Zaraki lead the team this time. Although he doesn't seem very bright on a daily basis, he won't make a mistake when it comes to serious matters. I trust him to be fine."

Soi Fon nodded slightly, took the documents, but did not leave.

Yusuke Matsushita had originally planned to deal with other matters, but he noticed something was amiss and now he took the opportunity to look up.

They made eye contact right then and there.

"W-what's wrong?"

"You even asked me what happened... Where's my daughter? Where's Linghua?!"

Soi Fon raised her chin and looked at him with a look of anxiety.

"How old is that girl that you're sending her out? So what if she's more capable than others? In the end, she's still just a kid her age... At this age, she should be studying hard and at least learning what she's supposed to learn!"

Snapped!

Soi Fon pressed her hands on the table and shouted, her eyes bloodshot.

"I don't want to argue with you... When will Linghua be back? Give me a straight answer!"

It's easy to see that Soi Fon is clearly very anxious about this matter.

But this is not hard to understand.

After all, it's normal for parents to feel anxious about education – as long as it's a child, they'll subconsciously compare her to others.

Other people's children have learned a skill and also understood some different principles.

Just realizing this is enough to cause immense anxiety about education...

We cannot fall behind others.

Matsushita Yusuke had considered this as well, but he clearly didn't feel the same level of anxiety as Soi Fon. He offered a few words of simple comfort, then rubbed his cheek with a helpless expression.

—She wasn't like this before.

So, after having a child, will the role change from wife to mother?

'Soi Fon hasn't checked up on me in ages...'

However, to be honest, I haven't really gone back to rest much.

So should I ask her out for a meal and drinks, and try to rekindle our relationship?

While pondering this, Matsushita Yusuke suddenly looked up and said.

"Want to go out for a drink tonight?"

"...?!"

Soi Fon, who had initially looked disgusted, suddenly changed her expression.

She instinctively took a half step back, her expression turning somewhat surprised.

What are you doing?

"No...why are you so surprised?"

I'm a little sad!

“I just felt like I’ve been too busy lately and haven’t had much time to talk to you… but I finally finished up what I was working on these past two days, so I was able to find some free time.”

Yusuke Matsushita carefully considered his words while observing Soi Fon's changing expression.

"This is a rare opportunity, I'd like to go out for a meal with you... um, that's it."

"..."

Silence is Cambridge tonight.

After a while, Soi Fon turned her head away, crossed her arms, and let out a barely perceptible hum.

Her cheeks flushed slightly.

"At least you still have some conscience... I'll wait for you to get off work... No, I'll go home first."

"...Are you leaving get off work early? What are you doing?"

"Idiot! Shouldn't you put on makeup since you're finally going out!"

"Ah...right, right, I'm sorry, I forgot about that."

Soi Fon doesn't even wear light makeup normally, since she comes from an assassin family and pays very little attention to such things.

But in other words...

For Soi Fon to put in the effort to do her makeup, it's a testament to her true skill.

"Hey, Yusuke."

Why are you suddenly calling me that?

The person looked up and saw Soi Fon standing behind the desk, looking at him with a slightly subtle gaze.

"……What's wrong?"

When will Linghua be back?

"It will probably take... at least a week."

"Understood, then that's settled."

I thought she would get angry, but surprisingly Soi Fon seems to be very easy to talk to now?

While his expression showed slight surprise, Matsushita Yusuke seemed to vaguely hear some whispers.

What does it mean to say "it's okay if you don't come back tonight"?

"Then we..."

Soi Bee tilted her head back and slightly raised her right hand to wipe the corner of her mouth.

Are you drinking tonight?

"Would you...would you like some?"

"Yeah, let's go to that izakaya, the one we went to on our date before, the one with really strong shochu."

"Then I'll make a reservation."

"I'm going to do my makeup now... Remember to contact me if anything urgent happens."

Soi Fon stopped at the doorway, seemingly considering her options, then turned her head slightly and spoke in a somewhat subtle tone.

"Let me make this clear from the start: I'm really looking forward to tonight."

Snapped!

The door closed, and Yusuke Matsushita, sitting in a chair, clicked his tongue.

Suddenly, I burst out laughing like an idiot.

I never imagined that an old married couple could have such a unique and interesting relationship.

330: You save the Three Realms, I save marriage.

After finishing the day's work, time passed and naturally turned to night.

Yusuke Matsushita had also prepared the table in advance and made time to arrive early, waiting for a while at the entrance of the izakaya.

Soon, the sound of footsteps grew louder as they approached.

"Hey……"

Yusuke Matsushita turned his head slightly.

Seeing Soi Fon, who had changed out of her shihaka outfit and into a black casual suit, awkwardly shifted her gaze to the side.

"Have we been waiting... for a long time...?"

Yusuke Matsushita stared blankly for a moment before chuckling softly.

"No, I just arrived too."

"What are you laughing at?!"

"I just thought your outfit was quite unusual... Sorry, I didn't mean to tease you."

Rouge powder, fiery red lips.
