Bleach Swordsman of Kusajishi

Chapter 74: Promoted to Zero Division

Captain, its about time. Lets go! Suzuki Kusu walked in after knocking on the Captain Offices door.

Alright, alright. Sigh, what a hassle. Does a Captains Meeting really have to be held so early in the morning? Muyang complained while rubbing his sleepy eyes.

Dont complain. You are always the last one. Suzuki Kusu reached out and took Captain Haori hanging on the room and handed it to Muyang with a smile: Captain-Commander is gonna stare at you if youre late again, you know.

Why? Muyang straightened his clothes and said, Im still earlier than Captain Kyraku, just so you know.

Hehe ~ Suzuki Kusu chuckled. Sometimes Muyang did arrive before Kyraku sometimes, but most of the time, they arrived at t same time.

Anyway, you should leave early today, Captain. Today is Roses inauguration as a Captain. Itd be rude if youre late.

I know. Alright, lets go! Muyang walked out of the Captains Office and said while glancing at the sun on the horizon, Ill be having dinner at the 12th Division every day starting today, Kusu.

E.. every day? Suzuki Kusu looked at Muyang in confusion. He did visit the 12th Division from time to time and joined their feast, but this time he suddenly said that hed be going there every day.

Yeah, every day. Muyang nodded affirmed.

Well, you are the Captain, so you have the final say. Although Suzuki Kusu didnt know why Muyang suddenly came up with such an idea, she wasnt really against the idea.

Rose was promoted as 3rd Division Captain today, which meant that Sister Kirio would be promoted to Zero Division in another 2 years. Once she was promoted to Zero Division, Muyang wouldnt be able to see her whenever he pleased as he used to unless he was also Promoted to Zero Division, but he didnt really like the atmosphere there. Well, hed just visit Hikifune Kirio until the very last moment before she was promoted.

Good morning, Captain, Lieutenant!

Good morning. Muyang greeted everyone with a smile, I see youre working hard today too!

Yes, Captain!

Seeing his subordinates in high spirit, Muyang was slightly energized.

Kimura! Are you up? Hurry up. I come all the way here to wake you up!

Captain, you shouldnt raise your voice in other Divisions barrack.

Youre such a party pooper, Susuke. I used to be Lieutenant of the 10th Division, so its okay. Kimura! Where are you? Im here!

HuhKimura, you actually got up early for once. I thought you are going to be the last one again, so I came all the way here to pick you up. You mustve dragged him out of bed, right, Kusu?

No, Captain was already up when I knock on his door. Suzuki Kusu said with a faint smile.

Thats really weird. I dont recall ever seeing you get up early before I left.

Shinji.

Hm?

Can you stop running your mouth so early in the morning? Youre being so annoying! Muyang felt better after yelling at Shinji but frowned again after one look at Shinjis face, Shinji, seeing your face early in the morning makes me lose my drive-it must be tough having such a Captain, Susuke.

Oh, by all means, no, Aizen said with a charming smile. Captain is an excellent Captain.

Susuke, its embarrassing when you praise me like that. Shinji said with a triumphant smile.

Really? Muyang smiled and said knowingly: Perhaps he really is a good superior for you.

Hm? The faint light flashed in Aizens eyes. What was Captain Kimura implying here? Was it possible that he found out? Impossible! No one would realize anything with my Kyka Suigetsu.

Lets go! I dont wanna be the last one again. Muyang beckoned the rest as he took the lead towards the 1st Division.

I never expect Rose is going to become a Captain.

Its not that surprising, really. Rose is talented, but he lacks confidence, thats all. The 3rd Divisions Captain happens to retire, so the decision to appoint Rose as the 3rd Divisions Captain actually makes sense.

Thats not it. Im just a little bit emotional, thats all. Everyone has already reached such a respectable position now. Even Hiyori has become a Lieutenant ah! What the!

Even I? are you looking down on me, Baldy Shinji? Hiyori blew her fist after punching Shinji.

Hiyori, you little

What? Do you want me to apologize? Stop dreaming! Hiyori said mockingly.

Okay, Hiyori, that should be enough.

Kirio-san.

Captain Hikifune.

Kirio-san. Hirako Shinji greeted Hikifune Kirio and slightly bowed.

You dont have to, Lil Shinji. Hikifune Kirio said after glancing at Shinji. She then turned her face to Muyang. Lil Yangyang, its been a while since you last visit me.

Lil Shinji? Lil Yangyang? Muyang and Shinji were speechless. Hikifune Kirio indeed enjoyed teasing them. She just couldnt help herself to call them with that nickname in front of others. Everyone else already knew about their nickname at this point. Nevertheless, it was embarrassing when Hikifune Kirio called them with such nicknames!

Sorry, Kirio-san, I had my hands full with some stuff, but Im planning to eat at your place every day from now on, so sorry for the trouble, hehe.

Every day? Hiyori gave Muyang a disgusted look. Arent Captain supposed to be busy? What do you mean coming every day?

Muyang just shrugged in response, Its not that far from the 10th Division to 12th Division, at least for me.

Well, suit yourself. I wont stop you whenever you wanna come. Hikifune Kirio said and slightly smiled. She was wondering whether Muyang did this because he realized something.

Then its settled. Muyang slightly smiled. Oh, the gate is opened. Lets go in. I really have to say that the 1st Divisions security is really strict. I have to wait until the door is opened before I can enter.

It cant be helped. 1st Division. is where Captain-Commander resides. It must be different from our Divisions. Hikifune Kirio smiled and took the lead.

The newly appointed Captain this time is also your friend, right, Lil Yangyang. Hikifune Kirio suddenly asked Muyang.

Yeah, I got to know him when he was still in Shin. I remember he was still a 1st Grade Student when I first saw him. Seeing him used to be so meek, Its hard to believe that hes going to become Captain.

Your prediction almost always hits the mark. All Captains promoted over these last few decades are close with you. Shihin Yoruichi from the 2nd Division is also your friend. Now toribashi Rjr, wholl be 3rd Divisions Captain, Lil Shinji from the 5th Division, Love Aikawa from 7th Division, Muguruma Kensei from 9th Division, theyre all your close friends for many years.

Hehe, now that you mention it, several Captains are indeed pretty close with me even before they become a Captain, but theyre not the only ones. Captain Kyraku and Captain Ukitake are also my good friends. Muyang said as he counted with his fingers, and of course, Kirio-san as well.

But this is a good sign for Soul Society. If the Captains are familiar with each other, Soul Society can exert its maximum ability.

Well, you have learned a lot as a Captain these years. Hikifune Kirio gave Muyang a glance of approval.

Well, setting aside whether Ive learned a lot or not, Im actually just saying what comes to mind, thats all. After seeing so many things, Ill eventually learn a thing or two whether I like it or not.

Alright, you dont have to be modest with me, Lil Yangyang. Hikifune Kirio laughed.

Seems like you guys are having a good time over there! Kyraku said with Ukitake right beside him.

Ah, Kyraku, what happened? Its unusual for you to come so early today. Muyang asked teasingly because Kyraku usually showed up last.

I always show up early. Youre the one who shows up early for once.

Hahaha. Muyang responded with a laugh and then tilted his head, looking at Lisa, who stood behind Kyraku, Did you drag Kyraku out of bed today, Lisa?

Of course, I kicked his ass until he wakes up. Lisa said while pushing back her glasses frame. She never considered Kyrakus feelings at all when it came to whipping him up to shape, even in front of others.

Good grief, didnt I tell you so many times not to embarrass me in front of other Captain, Lisa-chan? Kyraku Shunsui said as he habitually pressed down his straw hat.

If you are already here, get in the line already! An elderly voice coming from behind startled them.
