Chapter 594: Yecheng: I want to see your chest... Er, I mean, your wound!
Chapter 594: Yecheng: I want to see your chest... Er, I mean, your wound!
"I'm sorry to interrupt, but Captain Zabimaru, regarding your injury and the matter involving Kuchiki Byakuya, could I trouble you to explain the details to me?"
As Yecheng entered the room, both Zabimaru and Daito were surprised.
"Yecheng, you should know that you're merely a Third Seat. What right do you have to speak to our captain like that?"
Daito spoke while frantically signaling to Yecheng with his eyes, indicating that he should not speak out of turn.
Due to the injury from the attack, their captain had been in a foul mood these past few days, and Daito had already received quite a few beatings just for reporting work matters.
As far as he knew, the relationship between Yecheng and Zabimaru was not particularly close, and bringing up this topic at this time could potentially lead to a direct conflict between the two.
Just as Daito was about to push Yecheng out of the room to protect his good brother from a beating by the captain, Zabimaru unexpectedly stopped him. She looked at Yecheng seriously and said, "Did the Captain-Commander send you to investigate this matter?"
"No, it was Kuchiki's wife, my friend Kuchiki Fushiro, who asked me to investigate.
Moreover, my intuition tells me that Byakuya's sudden betrayal may be closely related to this Soul Blade's manifestation.
So, I'd like to hear Captain Zabimaru's opinion. After all, in the Gotei 13, Captain Zabimaru of the Second Division is specifically responsible for various investigations and detention tasks, which is something the other captains cannot match."
Upon hearing Yecheng's words, Zabimaru's expression softened considerably, and her gaze towards Yecheng became more amicable than before.
As for Daito, he was completely dumbfounded. Wasn't his brother a master at flattering people? Ever since their captain was injured, Daito had been attending to her diligently, but he hadn't received a single word of praise, and he was often subjected to punches and kicks.
Yet, with just a few harmless compliments from Yecheng, their captain's favorability had risen significantly?
Daito had also flattered people before, and he believed he did it with more skill and depth than Yecheng.
The only difference between them, Daito thought as he looked at his wide and stout body and then at Yecheng's slender and handsome figure, was that this damn world really judged people by their appearance!
Zabimaru could tell that Yecheng was intentionally flattering her, but she couldn't help but enjoy it.
Daito was a genuine idiot, and his flattery was just that—flattery. However, Yecheng's investigation and analytical skills were exceptional, and his recognition of her abilities was far more meaningful than Daito's.
"Due to my injuries, I won't be able to personally investigate this Soul Blade manifestation incident.
Relying on Daito and those useless fools is like expecting a pig to climb a tree. Having you conduct the investigation isn't a bad idea; ask whatever you want to know."
Zabimaru didn't rush to dismiss Yecheng; this was one of the reasons. It was hard to believe that there wasn't a hidden mastermind behind the sudden manifestation and rebellion of the Soul Blades.
The Second Division was originally responsible for investigations and intelligence gathering, but with the captain severely injured and the vice-captain...
It was better not to rely on him. That pastry fatso, upon hearing that the manifested Soul Blades were hunting down Shinigami, had locked himself indoors, claiming he needed to take care of the injured captain.
Yecheng had already demonstrated his capabilities in the investigation of Gin Ichimaru's betrayal, and if he was willing to take on this task, it would be a good thing for Zabimaru.
"Before asking about the details, I should probably start by treating Captain Zabimaru's injuries first."
In terms of healing abilities, I believe I'm not far behind Captain Unohana.
Yecheng, who possessed the abilities of Return Path, Medical Ninjutsu, and Healing Magic, was naturally far superior to Hanajun, who lacked the power of her Zanpakuto.
Zabimaru, being aware of Yecheng's Zanpakuto abilities, initially thought that Yecheng would use his Zanpakuto to heal her.
However, when she saw Yecheng approaching and extending his hand towards her upper body, Zabimaru couldn't help but feel a bit flustered. "What are you trying to do?" she asked.
Noticing Zabimaru's anxious expression, Yecheng spoke in a matter-of-fact tone, "Since we're treating injuries, it's only natural to first examine the wound.
Although using the power of 'Beyond' is an option, the current situation is unique. What if I release my Zanpakuto and it betrays me? Captain Zabimaru, rest assured, my Return Path skills are highly proficient. Even without using the power of my Zanpakuto, I'm confident in treating your injuries."
Logically, Yecheng's words made perfect sense, but at this moment, Zabimaru's expression as she looked at Yecheng became somewhat unnatural.
"You want to see my wound? Do you know where I was injured? You just want to look at the wound!"
Zabimaru's words caused Yecheng, who had already extended his hand, to freeze for a moment. He had seen the bandages wrapped around Zabimaru's upper body, so he assumed the wound was on her shoulder or back.
But seeing Zabimaru's reaction, it seemed like the location of the wound was in a rather awkward place?
"Yecheng, I've known for a long time that you're up to no good. Our captain's main wound is in the heart area.
You, a quack doctor, must be trying to take advantage of the situation to peek at our captain's chest..."
Daito, who had stepped forward to express his loyalty, didn't even get to finish his sentence before being kicked away.
The force of Zabimaru's kick was so strong that Daito flew straight into the street, and the wound on his body reopened due to the shameful kick, staining the bandages on his body with fresh red blood.
"Um... Captain Zabimaru, sorry for the interruption. I think I can handle this matter alone, so you should just focus on recovering."
Seeing the hundreds of pounds of fat being kicked away by Zabimaru, Yecheng quietly swallowed his saliva and was about to make a quick exit.
"Are you sure you can treat my injuries and get me back into fighting shape?"
Yecheng, who had been about to leave, had already taken half a step out of the room when he was suddenly called back by Zabimaru.
"It should be no problem. My Return Path is enhanced and improved, but..." Yecheng hesitated as he looked at Zabimaru's face turning crimson.
"There's no 'but.' Since you're a doctor, it's a different matter. And I don't want to lie here doing nothing.
But you better make sure that after examining the wound, you can fully heal me, or I'll definitely kill you!"
Yecheng could tell that Zabimaru's last sentence was said in earnest, as the killing intent emanating from her was almost tangible!
