Chapter 352: Returning to the Soul Society

"Rangiku, I hope you can keep both the Menos Grande incident and my hidden strength a secret for now.

I believe that during our time in the Human World, you've also noticed some clues.

There might be some issues within the Gotei 13, and the situation here in the Human World is not as simple as it seems. Once we get involved, it will be extremely dangerous for both you and me."

Rangiku, being a Vice-Captain, was not just a pretty face with a large chest; she was far from brainless.

In fact, among all the Vice-Captains, Rangiku stood out as one of the most exceptional, whether in terms of strength, intellect, or other aspects.

Considering the other Vice-Captains in the Gotei 13, they were either love-struck, dim-witted, obsessed fans, or background characters with little presence. Rangiku, in comparison, was undoubtedly one of the smarter ones.

During their time in the Human World, she also vaguely sensed that someone within the Gotei 13 was orchestrating a massive conspiracy.

Furukawa Kiyotsugu, the investigation team from the Soul Street a century ago, and even Captain Tagawa of the Tenth Division, were all victims of this conspiracy.

Rangiku understood what Yecheng meant; with so many Captains being manipulated by the enemy, the outcome for a Third Seat and Vice-Captain like her would be predictable if she got entangled.

"What do you plan to do, Yecheng? If we don't report this to the Captain-Commander, won't it cause major problems in the future?"

Rangiku didn't know who the hidden manipulator within the Gotei 13 was, but their ability to scheme against Captains like Furukawa Kiyotsugu showed that their strength and methods far exceeded her imagination.

"You don't need to worry about this, Rangiku. I'll handle it, and it's best if you stay uninvolved.

You witnessed what happened to Captain Tagawa. If he hadn't met Kurosaki Matoi, he might have died in the Human World.

As of now, Furukawa Kiyotsugu and the others seem to have no ill intentions towards the Soul Society and the Gotei 13.

Exposing them would only alert the snake in the grass and give the mastermind a chance to prepare."

Time passed, and more than a week later, Yecheng and Rangiku were summoned back to the Soul Society.

Yecheng could handle it, but Rangiku, as the Vice-Captain of the Tenth Division, had to return due to the pile of duties that had accumulated in her absence, especially with Captain Tagawa Ichinsei's resignation.

"The Human World is such a wonderful place. I'm even a bit envious that Captain can stay here all the time."

As they prepared to return to the Soul Society, Rangiku couldn't help but reminisce about the Human World, especially the clothes and accessories she had purchased.

For Rangiku, this trip to the Human World was undoubtedly delightful. She hadn't felt this happy in decades.

Not only was Captain Tagawa safe and sound, but he had also found happiness. Meanwhile, she and Yecheng had enjoyed a paid vacation, free from the duties of their positions, and spent their days shopping and sightseeing.

Rangiku left all the communication and liaison work with the Soul Society to Yecheng, allowing herself to have fun.

In summary, this trip to the Human World was highly satisfying for Rangiku, aside from learning about the conspiracy, which made her a bit depressed. She hoped that if there were future missions in the Human World, she would definitely volunteer.

Of course, the precondition was that she could bring Yecheng along. If it were anyone else, she doubted she could have such a carefree time.

With Yecheng by her side, she had a powerful bodyguard, and safety was never a concern. Additionally, with Yecheng's abilities, completing the mission would be effortless, allowing Rangiku to simply tag along.

As soon as the two passed through the Border Gate, they saw that someone was already waiting for them in the Soul Society.

Yatou Shibori, along with two underlings, was holding a banner, while Kokaku Shibori stood by with her arms crossed, displaying her big sister attitude.

When she saw Yecheng's figure appear, the latter was obviously very happy and, without any regard for the surrounding gazes, she flew over and hugged Yecheng.

"Kuu Kaku, why are you here?"

In response to Kokaku Shibori's affectionate display, Yecheng could only feel helpless. Ever since Tagawa Haiyan's playful joke, this girl had stubbornly insisted on considering Yecheng as her fiance.

Even though Yecheng repeatedly explained that he only saw her as a younger sister, Kokaku Shibori's straightforward and carefree personality made her not take his words seriously at all.

"Big Brother asked us to come find you. He said he has an important matter to discuss with you, but he's currently occupied with something urgent. He hopes you can go to the Tagawa Clan later."

After expressing her purpose, Kokaku Shibori started chatting with Luan Ju on the side. Due to their connection with Yecheng, the originally unacquainted pair now had a pretty good relationship.

However, Luan Ju's idle chat didn't last long before she was pulled away by Toshiro Kuchiki.

The white-haired little devil was now the Third Seat of the Tenth Division. With both the Captain and Vice-Captain absent, he had no experience and was incredibly busy during Luan Ju's business trip.

"Kuu Kaku, Yatou Shibori, you two go ahead. I need to report the investigation mission in the Human World to the Captain-Commander and Captain Fuke first, then I'll head to the Tagawa Clan."

Following the rules of the Gotei Thirteen, Yecheng, who had returned to the Soul Society, first went to the Seireitei to report on Tagawa Ichinsei's situation to the Captain-Commander.

"So, does this mean that Captain Tagawa of the Tenth Division has decided to stay in the Human World?"

Upon hearing Yecheng's report, the Captain-Commander narrowed his eyes slightly, but his sharp gaze remained fixed on Yecheng as he asked.

"Yes. Although Captain Tagawa managed to survive the Hollow's attack, he lost his Shinigami power. He believes he no longer has the qualifications to continue serving as the Captain of the Tenth Division."

Regarding the events that occurred in the Human World, Yecheng naturally couldn't reveal everything, including Tagawa Ichinsei's marriage to Kurosaki Makoto.

"Have you investigated why a Tosode-level Hollow appeared in the Human World?"

It was already extremely rare for an ordinary Hollow to appear in the Human World, let alone a Tosode, which was exceptionally rare even in Hueco Mundo.

"I'm sorry, the time was too short. Matsumoto Rangiku and I spent a long time just finding Captain Tagawa, who had lost his Shinigami power.

Moreover, that Tosode has already been slain by Captain Tagawa. Investigating its origins is extremely difficult, and even Captain Tagawa himself is unclear about how this Tosode appeared."

The Captain-Commander was also well aware of the many unknowns in the Human World, the Soul Society, and Hueco Mundo. It was unrealistic to expect Yecheng and Luan Ju, who had only been in the Human World for a month or two, to investigate all the causes and consequences of the events.

"You've worked hard this time. Go and rest well."

The Captain-Commander believed a portion of what Yecheng said, but Yecheng was unsure. Just as he was about to slip away, the Captain-Commander suddenly called out to him and said, "Captain Tagawa has also resigned. What are your thoughts on the position of Captain of the Tenth Division?

As far as I know, your relationship with Vice-Captain Matsumoto is quite good, right? With your strength, even if you were to take on the Captain position, it wouldn't be a problem."
