Chapter 145: The Beautiful Shinigami Needs Me to Fix the Sewer?
"Night City, is there a problem with Hirosue's body that brought you here this time?"
After a long chat, Byakuya finally remembered the main purpose of his visit and took the initiative to ask Night City about his reason for coming in person.
Although Byakuya was often busy with the affairs of the Sixth Division, he had always been concerned about Hirosue.
At the same time, he also knew that Night City would not usually come to the Kuchiki family unless it was for scheduled treatments.
"No, no, Hirosue's condition is very good. At this rate of recovery, she should be completely healthy in a few more years."
"The main reason for my visit this time is not actually for Hirosue, but for you, Captain Kuchiki..."
"For me?" Upon hearing Night City's words, Byakuya was first delighted to hear about Hirosue's recovery, but then he was taken aback by Night City's latter statement.
As mentioned earlier, Night City and Byakuya didn't have much interaction, and even in their previous meetings, they didn't say half as much as they did today.
Byakuya couldn't imagine what Night City wanted from him.
Seeing Night City's hesitant expression, Byakuya took the initiative to speak, "Night City, if there's anything I can help with, just ask.
As long as I, Byakuya Kuchiki, can be of assistance, I will do my best. I've been thinking of ways to repay you for Hirosue and Rukia's kindness."
With Byakuya's assurance, Night City felt completely at ease and shared his idea of inviting him to join the Male Shinigami Association.
Byakuya wasn't particularly fond of the private associations within the Gotei 13, and even if he were to join one, he would likely choose an association with a strong artistic focus.
However, since it was an invitation from his benefactor, Night City, Byakuya was prepared to accept.
But when he heard the principle of the Male Shinigami Association, which required members to wear black sunglasses and attend meetings shirtless, donning a black cape to showcase their masculinity, Byakuya firmly declined the invitation.
As Night City left the Kuchiki residence, he wasn't surprised that Byakuya had refused to join the Male Shinigami Association.
If it weren't for Shasou's strict requirements of wearing sunglasses and going shirtless, Night City believed that recruiting Byakuya into the Male Shinigami Association was still a possibility.
But under such a ridiculous association principle, Night City felt that it would be strange for Byakuya, given his personality, to join the Male Shinigami Association.
As the head of the four great noble families, Byakuya constantly maintained his image as a noble, even suppressing his childhood temperament of being hot-headed and restless.
Now, he was expected to wear sunglasses, go shirtless, and attend meetings with a group of men. This thought alone was completely unacceptable to Byakuya.
Fortunately, Night City's visit wasn't entirely in vain. After learning about the difficulties faced by the Male Shinigami Association, Byakuya generously offered to provide financial support for their activities, even though he had no intention of joining.
Out of respect for Night City, Byakuya also promised to find an extra room in the Kuchiki residence to serve as an activity base for the Male Shinigami Association.
By providing both financial support and a venue, Byakuya, as a noble, showed his confidence. Although he didn't join the association, his promises gave Shasou and the others a sense of relief.
Just as he had resolved the issue with the Male Shinigami Association, Yecheng was about to find a tavern to relax, but soon enough, a delicate arm wrapped around his neck, and two remarkable soft mounds pressed against his shoulders.
Without even looking at the person's face, there was no one else in all of Seireitei who possessed such assets and was this generous, except for Lunju.
"Yecheng, we're good friends, right? You have to help me this time!"
"Is your home's sewer clogged? Do you want me to unclog it for you? Or are you planning to get drunk tonight and need a professional to pick up the pieces?"
"If it's something like that, I'd be more than happy to help."
As drinking buddies, it took Lunju less than a second to understand Yecheng's risque joke.
But she didn't mind; she had a bold personality, and having known Yecheng for many years, she was well aware of his tendency to talk big without acting on it.
Usually, when they got drunk, Yecheng would, at most, dare to take advantage of her, but he wouldn't dare do anything more.
Otherwise, Lunju wasn't a fool; she wouldn't dare get drunk in front of a man, much less let him send her home.
"Cut the crap. Do you have the guts to unclog my sewer?"
"This time, I have a real matter to discuss with you. After you help me, I'll treat you to drinks without any issues."
Facing such a fierce Lunju, Yecheng was tempted to set a time to go to her home and unclog her sewer.
But the thought of a certain white-haired, squinty-eyed individual made him firmly decline this tempting invitation.
Not to mention that Lunju, like him, was just a big talker; even if she were to generously offer him the opportunity, would he have the courage?
Yecheng also feared that if he fixed her sewer, that white-haired, squinty-eyed person might take his Zanpakuto, Divine Spear, and stab him in the heart!
"Last time, how did you find so many suitable Shinigami candidates in Liu Hun Jie?
This year's graduates from Zenny Academy of Spirit Arts are gradually finishing their studies, and with the unexpected incident during the Living Soul Burial internship, the higher-ups have assigned a new task.
In addition to the four divisions you were responsible for, all other divisions must now meet certain recruitment targets.
This thorny task for the Tenth Division has fallen squarely on my shoulders."
"When I first received this task, I thought it would be easy and could be completed quickly, maybe even giving me a chance to slack off and have a drink.
But after taking a tour of Liu Hun Jie, I realized that souls with sufficient spiritual power are now few and far between.
I barely found a few decent candidates, but when I brought them to Zenny Academy of Spirit Arts, the person in charge said they didn't meet the admission standards."
Hearing Lunju's complaints, Yecheng wasn't surprised. Previously, Senor Bleach had used the Hogyoku for experiments, and those in Liu Hun Jie with slightly stronger spiritual power had likely become test subjects.
Moreover, Yecheng's recent scavenging with the other three divisions had left Liu Hun Jie in a state of depletion, making it difficult to find exceptional Shinigami candidates for at least another decade or two.
