Chapter 356: What's the Difference Between Going to the Tenth Division and Being Your Nanny?
"Vice-Captain Matsumoto, I think you might have misunderstood. Night City came here to drink because I invited him."
If Vice-Captain Matsumoto doesn't mind, we can sit down together and have a drink."
Upon hearing Haiyan's words, Ranju's eyes lit up, and she promptly sat down next to Night City without hesitation. Before the waiter could bring new chopsticks, she directly used Night City's chopsticks to pick up the high-end tempura delicacies in front of her.
"Ah! As expected of high-end cuisine, paired with premium sake, this taste is truly... so refreshing!"
Seeing Ranju drinking and casually leaning on Night City, she looked like a typical uncle.
If a middle-aged uncle were to behave this way, others would undoubtedly view him as a slovenly man.
However, with Ranju's appearance and good looks, her actions seemed quite admirable and pleasing to the eyes of others.
Of course, Haiyan was somewhat unhappy seeing Night City and Ranju being overly intimate.
Everyone in the Seireitei knew that Night City and Ranju had a close personal relationship, but many in the Gotei Thirteen also knew that his younger sister, Kuu Kaku, had a deep affection for Night City.
From the perspective of Kuu Kaku's older brother, Haiyan naturally hoped that Night City and his sister would get together, so he and Night City could become true brothers.
Of course, Night City also had the right to make his own choices. Regardless, he owed a great debt of gratitude to the Shibori Clan.
"Haiyan, you're just too soft-hearted. Don't let this tomboy, Ranju, take advantage of you. If she didn't know that you were treating us, I'd drink this sake bottle!
She said those words just to mooch off us. If you offer to pay, she'll happily take advantage of your generosity."
Night City understood Ranju too well. How could he not know about the salary system in the Gotei Thirteen? This was no joke.
According to Night City's understanding, Ranju must have visited the Thirteenth Division to look for him before coming here.
Whether it was to drink and vent or for some other reason, Night City was unsure.
But when he heard that a member of the Thirteenth Division said that he and Haiyan had come here to drink, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed and decided to join them.
"Vice-Captain Shibori is the head of the Shibori Clan. He wouldn't be as stingy as you."
"Ah, I'm so envious of you, Night City. The captain and vice-captain of your division are so nice. If I had known this earlier, I should have joined the Thirteenth Division too.
We're both from the Shibori Clan, but the previous captain never invited me for a drink. On top of that, he always dumped the division's work on me. It's so annoying!"
Hearing Ranju's complaints, Haiyan could only force a bitter smile. After all, she was badmouthing her own superior, which made the good-natured Haiyan feel awkward and unsure of how to respond.
"Vice-Captain Matsumoto seems to have a good relationship with Night City. Despite being from different divisions, and as far as I know, you weren't even in the same batch at the Zanpakutou Academy, right?"
Haiyan usually didn't like to gossip about others' personal matters, but considering his own sister's outgoing personality, he decided to put aside his embarrassment and gather some useful information.
It would be even better if he could find out whether Night City had any feelings for Ranju.
Unfortunately, Night City wasn't a noble in the Soul Society; otherwise, some nobles would marry multiple wives and concubines to expand their family lineage.
After all, the noble system in the Soul Society was different from the Human World, and their culture and mindset were largely still stuck in the Nara period.
As for Kurosaki Byakuya and Shizo Haisen, it's not that they couldn't have multiple wives and concubines, but rather, they are both deeply romantic and devoted, and their hearts have no room for anyone other than Kurosaki Fizhen and Tagawa Tsu.
Based on the recent observations, Haiyan realized that the relationship between Yecheng and Luan Ju was even better than he had imagined.
Moreover, his own sister, while undeniably beautiful and well-endowed, might not necessarily be a match for Luan Ju in terms of looks and figure.
No, it should be said that in terms of figure and appearance, there are very few in the Soul Society who could rival Luan Ju.
Hearing Haiyan's question, the emotionally sensitive and highly perceptive Luan Ju immediately understood what he meant. She patted Haiyan's shoulder and said, "Vice-Captain Tagawa, you can rest assured about this.
I won't be a rival to Kuu Kaku. My relationship with Yecheng is purer than you can imagine.
And I think this guy probably doesn't even see me as a woman."
Luan Ju didn't show any concern about Haiyan's probing and indicated that he didn't need to worry about this matter.
She had already decided to remain single for life. While Yecheng was indeed to her liking in many ways, there was a lingering hesitation in her heart that she couldn't shake off.
Haiyan, being a seasoned individual, understood the situation when he saw Luan Ju suddenly becoming sentimental. He realized that Luan Ju must have a story of her own.
As they chatted, the atmosphere suddenly became a bit awkward. Yecheng couldn't stand it and directly asked Luan Ju, "By the way, what did you want to see me for? It can't just be to freeload, right?"
"Yecheng, did the Captain-Commander recommend you to become the captain of the Tenth Division?"
Hearing Yecheng's words, Luan Ju suddenly seemed to snap out of her emotional state and asked in surprise.
Hearing Luan Ju's question, Yecheng, who had been completely unaware of this, looked at Yecheng in astonishment.
He truly hadn't expected that the Captain-Commander would consider Yecheng for the position of captain of the Tenth Division!
However, Yecheng was only surprised for a moment before thinking that it was quite a normal thing.
Yecheng had been recommended by multiple captains to become a vice-captain a hundred years ago. During the previous attack on the Zanpakutou Academy students in the Human World, Yecheng had also demonstrated strength not inferior to that of a captain. Therefore, even if he were to be promoted to captain of the Tenth Division, it didn't seem like something surprising.
"Yeah, the Captain-Commander did have that idea, but I declined because I can't use Bankai."
Hearing Yecheng's calm response, Luan Ju, who had been in a sentimental state before, suddenly became excited and grabbed Yecheng's shoulders, saying, "Why did you refuse?! If you became the captain of the Tenth Division, I would definitely support you with both hands and feet!"
"Of course, you'd approve! If I became the captain of the Tenth Division, what's the difference between that and being your personal maid, Sonben Lun Ju? I want a life of slacking off and chilling, not to be treated as a hands-off boss by you!"
Becoming the captain of the Tenth Division? Was this a joke? The past two months in the Human World had already given them a good preview of what it would be like for Yecheng and Luan Ju to work together.
On the surface, it seemed like Yecheng could become Luan Ju's superior, but he couldn't just do as he pleased. Instead, he was at her mercy, doing all the hard work. This kind of labor was for anyone else but not for him, Yecheng.
