2-in-1 chapter: btw this is the next chapter I did not skip anything. This is the next scene.
----------------------
The 10th Division Captain Shiba Shōta, after recovering from his injuries, finally stepped down as he had wished.
Yamamoto summoned his officials to discuss the new candidate for the 10th Division Captain.
Kaelith raised his hand:
"Sensei! I have a plan!"
Hmm… How about going to the Human World to find Ōmaeda Marenoshin? I heard he’s traveling around, living carefree.
If he followed him, life would surely not be bad.
Thinking of this, he grinned, showing a smug and yearning expression.
The next second, Shōta suddenly sensed something, his smile fading as he looked seriously into the distance.
There, a group of people was approaching.
Some were carried in sedan chairs, some rode in carriages, and some were even carried on the backs of Shinigami.
Under Shōta’s gaze, these people arrived before him and hurried forward.
"Lord Shiba… Why did you step down?!"
"If you were going to resign, at least tell us first!"
"What are we going to do now?!"
Shōta frowned slightly.
These were all nobles.
Some were minor nobles attached to the Shiba clan, and some were just former acquaintances.
Looking at them, Shōta shrugged.
"Gentlemen, this is merely a routine personnel adjustment in the Gotei 13, nothing to worry about."
"How could it be nothing to worry about?!"
An elder in fine clothes couldn’t help but speak.
"With Lord Ginrei stepping down as 6th Division Captain, it was already a heavy blow to us nobles."
"Though Lord Isshin took over the 6th Division and preserved the honor of the nobility, Lord Isshin is still young and doesn’t fully understand our interests."
"Right now, in the Gotei 13, you are the strongest pillar of the noble faction; the Shiba clan holding two captain seats is a great encouragement to us all..."
"Why would you resign at such a critical moment?!"
Hearing the noble’s wailing, Shōta looked a bit helpless.
Out of obligation, he was just about to comfort them when another elder spoke:
"The biggest issue is that the one succeeding the 10th Division is again one of Kaelith’s people!"
"Lord Shiba, haven’t you noticed? The Yurei faction is growing more and more powerful… to speak frankly, Lord Isshin seems quite close with Kaelith too!"
"If this goes on, the old noble families like ours will be crushed without a trace!"
As soon as the words fell, the other nobles nodded in agreement, trying to persuade Shōta to abandon his retirement.
Looking at the crowd before him, Shōta slowly put away his smile.
"Gentlemen, for the sake of our past ties, I will give you one last piece of advice."
"Whatever decisions you make in the future, please remember, do not make an enemy of Kaelith."
"He is a man who, even in such a cold and indifferent world, still strives to retain a warm heart."
"Even if you don’t wish to warm it further, at least don’t do anything to cool it."
"If the day truly comes when you face him with blades, I will not stand on your side."
After speaking, Shōta bowed slightly under their astonished gazes and turned to leave.
Soon after, rumors spread among the nobles: “The Shiba clan has fully aligned with the Yurei faction,” “Kaelith is about to enter the Forty-Six Chambers with full loyalty,” and so on.
Even the most ambitious among them gave up any idea of opposing Kaelith after hearing Shōta’s words.
"Hm?"
Yamamoto grew slightly wary, looking at a certain foolish disciple.
Under his gaze, Kaelith seriously said: "I think Isshin Shiba, the Captain of the 6th Division, can succeed the 10th Division."
Yamamoto was speechless.
"Why appoint an existing captain to another division?"
"And if Isshin takes over the 10th Division, who takes over the 6th?"
Kaelith raised his hand again: "My vice-captain, Zaraki Kenpachi, can take over the 6th Division!"
"?"
Yamamoto took a deep breath to lower his blood pressure.
Never mind what kind of disaster Zaraki Kenpachi would be as 6th Division Captain—just this random reshuffling of personnel… how is that not a hassle? Why not just send Zaraki straight to the 10th Division?
In the end, after some discussion, Komamura Sajin was appointed as the 10th Division Captain.
During the last contest for the 6th Division Captain, Komamura had performed outstandingly.
Most importantly, his Bankai was powerful.
In less than a hundred years, the 10th Division had gone through three captains, which had affected morale. At this time, bringing in someone like Komamura, whose Bankai was majestic and powerful, would undoubtedly boost the division’s spirit.
As for his appearance, Yamamoto wasn’t concerned.
Joking aside, anyone from the Kaelith's group who would dare mock them?
Dare mock the 11th Division?
So, three days later, witnessed by four captains and the entire 10th Division, Komamura displayed his Bankai again.
Before everyone’s eyes, he summoned Kokujō Tengen Myō'ō and sliced the peak off a small mountain.
Then, using the Gatling cannon on his shoulder, he swept a two-kilometer-long line of fire.
Finally, he used a Kidō cannon to blast the mountain whose top was removed into a crater.
The members of the 10th Division, having followed several idle and aging captains, were instantly reinvigorated upon seeing Komamura’s might.
After completing the handover, Shōta finally removed his captain’s haori.
Many squad members who had once received his care spontaneously lined up outside the squad gate to bow and see him off.
As one of the rare polite members of the Kaelith's group, Komamura also came to send him off.
Looking at everyone before him, Shōta grinned.
"Captain Komamura… everyone, I leave the 10th Division to you. Make sure to protect it well, don’t let the pride of the 10th Division fall!"
"Rest assured."
Komamura bowed slightly, making a solemn promise to the old captain.
Shōta nodded with contentment.
He turned around and took one last look at the 10th Division’s gate.
Then, he smiled and walked away.
Komamura and the 10th Division members bowed to his back in respect.
After walking some distance, confirming they could no longer see him, Shōta stretched. To leave a good impression, he had exerted great effort in managing his expressions.
Now, he finally clenched his fist and threw a strong punch—
"Yes!!"
After so many years, he was finally free of all that damn paperwork!
Starting today, he would truly pursue his ambitions!
.....................
..
.
A prominent figure in Soul Society, head of the Yurei faction, leader of Seireitei’s new era, 11th Division Captain Kaelith, faced a major event today.
Yūtendō Inc's latest product, the LSP4, was finally released.
This release took place simultaneously in the Human World and Soul Society.
Thanks to the tireless work of Urahara Kisuke, Urahara Kisuke, and finally.....Urahara Kisuke, the company’s technology for converting reiryoku and kishi had reached perfection.
In fact, Soul Society’s production scale once exceeded the Human World’s; when there were shortages in the Human World, the stock was transferred from Soul Society.
(Note: yes 3 times for Kisuke.....He should form a Union)
Now, in both production scale and user count, the Human World far surpassed Soul Society.
Most Soul Society production lines had already halted; the LSP4s for sale were brought in from the Human World, converted from kishi to reiryoku, then sold directly.
The only difference between the two versions was regional lockout.
The kishi-manufactured LSP4 could only connect to the Human World network.
The reiryoku-manufactured version could only connect to the reiryoku network.
Kaelith had machines and games sent to his close friends.
In performance, the LSP4 far exceeded all previous models. So very quickly, all of Seireitei was swept up in the LSP craze.
8th Division, captain’s office.
Yadōmaru Lisa pushed open the door and adjusted her glasses.
Seeing her captain’s silhouette, a vein bulged on her forehead.
That useless captain was ignoring all squad business and playing games with a controller!
Hearing the door open, Kyōraku looked up.
He smiled awkwardly:
“Ah, isn’t it little Lisa… come, come, have a seat wherever you like. If you want a drink, help yourself—no need to be polite with your captain!”
Lisa narrowed her eyes.
Then, without a word, turned and left.
Seeing her reaction, Kyōraku was puzzled.
Before he could figure it out, the screen showed a message:
【Flawless Seamstress: I’m tired, you guys handle the rest. Don’t disturb me.】
After posting, Flawless Seamstress exited the party.
【Planner, beware or I’ll rename you. Seriously, why leave at this exact moment?】
Kyōraku had no idea who his teammates were, but he totally agreed with that comment.
The next boss was the Skyborne Dragon—an annoying one. Losing a member now was disastrous.
Just then, the third teammate spoke:
【Man of Shocking Wisdom: Don't panic, I’ll bring someone in.】
【Careful or I’ll Rename the Dev: Not a noob, right?】
【Man of Shocking Wisdom: Don’t worry, absolutely reliable. This friend of mine is one of the oldest beings across the Three Realms!】
Soul King Palace, Reio’s Secluded Hall.
Ichibe Hyōsube sat cross-legged in the room, sneering as he read the message on screen from a random teammate.
Saying “one of the oldest in the Three Realms” in front of him? Laughable!
Judging from that username, the guy was probably a dimwit.
Probably thinks a thousand years is super old? Too bad, in front of him, that age is about the level of a fertilized egg!
Not long after, a new account joined the party.
【Skull Emperor: What are we hunting?】
Seeing the outfit of this new teammate, Ichibe raised an eyebrow.
A Charge Blade user… quite rare.
Most random teammates he encountered were Long Sword users. So many weapons in the game, why does everyone cling to the Long Sword?
A bunch of idiots.
Hm? What? I’m using Long Sword too?
Never mind then.
8th Division, Kyōraku Shunsui quickly typed a reply.
【Sunny Pretty Boy: Skyborne Dragon.】
【Skull Emperor: Skyborne Dragon??】
【Skull Emperor: Two Long Sword noobs trying Skyborne Dragon?】
【Careful or I’ll Rename the Dev: You’re using Charge Blade—where do you get the guts to mock Long Sword users? Our attack speed’s way faster than yours!】
【Skull Emperor: Heh, says the Long Sword crowd.】
【Careful or I’ll Rename the Dev: ?】
The cheerful (or not?) dragon-slaying party charged into the Coral Highlands.
At first, Ichibe still looked down on this “random” teammate that had been dragged in.
But as the hunt went on, he was surprised to find that this Charge Blade user actually had skill.
Despite this console version just having been released days ago, this guy named Skull Emperor was already so technically proficient.
Careful or I’ll Rename the Dev sent a friend request to Skull Emperor.
Hueco Mundo, Las Noches.
Baraggan sat cross-legged across from Kaelith, eyes fixed on the screen.
Among all of Las Noches, he was the one who trained the least.
After all, his ability was extremely special—once used, the enemy either died or fled. Because of this, Baraggan’s daily job mostly consisted of gaming.
Even the newest LSP4 games posed no difficulty for him.
As for the others, nearly everyone in Las Noches was constantly busy.
Especially those guarding against the Wandenreich, or those on watch against Hell.
Under Kaelith’s orders, these two groups had spent years maintaining full readiness for any possible threat.
All things considered, there wasn’t really anyone in Las Noches who could keep up with Baraggan when it came to gaming.
Now, seeing the friend request from “Careful or I’ll Rename the Dev,” Baraggan thought for a moment and clicked Accept.
He didn’t know who it was, but teaming up to hunt monsters sounded fine.
…
…
Under the blue sky and white clouds, a Senkaimon opened.
Kaelith’s figure slowly emerged.
“Wuhu! Human World! Long time no see!”
Spreading his arms to the vast world before him, Kaelith grinned.
Looking at the city, the high-rises, the cars… Soifon stood beside him, showing a surprised expression.
So this is the Human World… it was her first time seeing it with her own eyes.
Though curious, she flawlessly carried out her duties as a bodyguard, keeping most of her attention on her master beside her.
Under the girl’s gaze, Kaelith gave a wide grin.
“Soifon-chan, no rush on sightseeing. There’ll be plenty of time to look around later.”
“But first, come with me to Yūtendō Inc.”
This trip to the Human World, Kaelith had several tasks. But more than the missions, what he most wanted right now was to check on how Ulquiorra was doing as a salesman in the Human World.
Just imagining the once-feared Ulquiorra in Hueco Mundo, now stripped of his powers and pitifully hawking game consoles, made Kaelith a little giddy.
Today, whether Ulquiorra sold ten units or a hundred, he was going to scold him properly and thoroughly enjoy his role as the boss!
With excitement, he arrived at Yūtendō Inc’s headquarters.
Stopping in front of the main entrance, Kaelith fell into thought…
