Chapter 357: The Prettier the Woman, the More She'll Deceive You
"Why not join the Tenth Division? It's the Gotei 13 Captain, and being my superior would bring many benefits!"
"Benefits? Like what? You want me to pay for your drinks? Or handle the division's duties for you? Or even take the fall for you from time to time?"
"Others have their Vice-Captains handle matters, and when there's nothing to do, they still have their Vice-Captains. Old man, if you go to the Tenth Division to be a Captain, it's no different than becoming a slave...I mean, a Paladin."
No matter how much Matsumoto tried to persuade him, Yecheng remained unmoved. He was well aware of her tactics; whenever she needed his help, she would act cute and flirtatious, sometimes even sacrificing a little of her modesty to give him some perks.
But once her goal was achieved, she would turn her back on him without a second thought, even more ruthless than the merciless Sea King.
When Yecheng learned from the Captain-Commander that he had a chance to become the Tenth Division's Captain, Matsumoto was overjoyed.
She even felt that after enduring for so many years, she had finally made it! If Yecheng were to become the Captain of the Tenth Division, what would be the difference between him and the Grand Supreme Elder? With their relationship, wouldn't she, as the Vice-Captain, be more at ease than the Captain?
"You don't need to say more. Regarding the position of the Tenth Division's Captain, I've already clearly refused the Captain-Commander and recommended the Third Seat of your division, Toshiro Kuchiki."
Objectively speaking, Toshiro Kuchiki was indeed a genius. Among all the Vice-Captains and Captains in the Gotei 13, he was likely the one with the least experience as a Shinigami.
However, his talent and strength were undeniable. In just a few decades after joining the division, he rose to the rank of Third Seat, and before the arrival of this humanoid Hollow, he was the man who achieved Bankai in the shortest time.
Unfortunately, although Toshiro was young and promising, having been promoted to one of the 13 CEOs of the Gotei 13 at a young age, he had both a busty secretary who followed him like a shadow and a sweet childhood friend who was also his first love.
Sadly, the busty secretary already had her heart set on someone else, and the sweet childhood friend was in love with a mature uncle. For him, a handsome young man, there was no spark.
He seemed like a winner in life, but the streaks of white in his hair hinted at a touch of natural color.
For such a pitiful young man, the only thing he could offer was the position of a Shinigami Captain, so Yecheng felt a bit awkward about snatching away this opportunity.
"Toshiro is indeed talented. Since we brought him back from the Soul Street, he has grown to his current level in just a few decades, which is truly astonishing.
Undeniably, he has the potential to be a Captain, but it might be too early to make him a Captain now."
Matsumoto was the Vice-Captain of the Tenth Division, and the Captain-Commander had also informed her that the candidates for the Tenth Division's Captain were Yecheng and Toshiro Kuchiki.
Objectively, compared to the still-maturing Toshiro Kuchiki, the Captain-Commander naturally preferred Yecheng for the position of the Tenth Division's Captain.
However, Yecheng's refusal left the Captain-Commander in a dilemma.
Coincidentally, the Tenth Division's Captain position had become vacant, and Matsumoto, who had a well-known relationship with Yecheng throughout the Soul Society, was asked to act as a mediator. If Yecheng agreed to take up the position, it would be the best outcome.
But if Yecheng still refused, then Matsumoto, as the Vice-Captain, would temporarily handle the division's affairs, and once Toshiro mastered Bankai, he would assume the Captain's role.
Yecheng and Toshiro Kuchiki, Matsumoto Rangiku had always hoped that the former would become her superior. Now, after the Captain-Commander's statement, Rangiku was even more eager for Yecheng to take up the position immediately!
Joking aside, she wanted her to do the captain's work with the rank of vice-captain?
On top of that, if she had to handle the work of the vice-captain and the Tenth Division all by herself, it would be a violation of her professional ethics! Moreover, if she were to handle all the tasks of the Tenth Division alone, how busy would she be in the future? Where would she find time to drink after that?
For the sake of her future lazy days, Rangiku, upon returning from the Human World, immediately sought out Yecheng and pleaded, cried, and even threatened him to take up the position of captain of the Tenth Division.
"Don't even think about it. I might have tolerated the previous temporary tasks, but taking on such a long-term burden for decades or even centuries is out of the question. No amount of benefits you offer will change my mind."
Rangiku was almost leaning her entire body on Yecheng, and her collar was almost at its lowest point. Seeing that her usual charm and benefits weren't working, Rangiku began to complain loudly.
"Damn it! I might as well quit and join your Thirteenth Division as a seated officer. Who cares about the Tenth Division's problems."
Captain Tagawa is currently enjoying his honeymoon in the Human World, leaving me with this mess to deal with.
And I, Matsumoto Rangiku, as the most trusted, close, and intimate friend, am being abandoned by him in my time of need. Woe is me..."
Seeing that her charm wasn't working, and with Rangiku now putting on a dramatic show of sorrow, Yecheng couldn't help but feel speechless.
Haiyan, the good-natured one, was also feeling a bit sympathetic towards Rangiku, whose personality he didn't know well.
Just as he was about to open his mouth to comfort her, he heard Yecheng say beside him, "Enough, Rangiku. We've known each other for so long, and I even know what color underwear you prefer. There's no need to put on a show in front of me.
I will definitely not become the captain of the Tenth Division, but I can promise you that I'll help you train Toshiro in Bankai.
As long as Toshiro masters Bankai faster, you can continue being the lazy vice-captain."
Upon hearing Yecheng's words, Rangiku, who had been crying on the table, quickly lifted her head and looked at Yecheng with a delighted expression, asking, "You're not lying to me, right? How long will it take for Toshiro to master Bankai and free me from the numerous tasks?"
Haiyan: (Д)
Yecheng: (~_~)
Haiyan, who had intended to comfort Rangiku, was now dumbfounded. There wasn't a trace of sadness left on Rangiku's face.
Indeed, the more beautiful a woman is, the better she is at deception. This saying isn't just an empty phrase...
Compared to the surprised Haiyan, Yecheng seemed accustomed to it. He had a good grasp of Rangiku's personality.
The only thing to remember when facing her is to never fall for her large chest and her mature charm, or you'll be trapped in her web! Yecheng used to fall for it often, but with experience, he had learned his lesson.
