Chapter 616: Nayeon is Going to be a Shinigami Captain?!
Chapter 616: Nayeon is Going to be a Shinigami Captain?!
Besides guiding the way, the Soul Butterfly also had the function of delivering messages. The one that Nayeon just received was from Captain Fushiro, informing her that the Captain-Commander had a matter to discuss with her.
Although she really wanted to catch up with her rich friend, the fact that the big boss of her bosses wanted to see her was not something a small department head like her could ignore. So, she could only apologize to the Kuchiki clan's maid beside her, "I'm truly sorry, you saw it too. The Captain-Commander suddenly called for me, so please convey my apologies to Fushiro and tell her I'll visit tomorrow."
In any case, Nayeon wasn't going to let go of the Kuchiki clan's generous gift.
However, considering the Kuchiki clan's influence and power, they weren't going anywhere, so Nayeon wasn't in a hurry. She decided to go see her superior first to avoid any potential trouble in the future.
When Nayeon arrived at the First Division's barracks, which also served as the meeting hall for the captains, she discovered that besides the Captain-Commander and Captain Fushiro of the Thirteenth Division, there was another unexpected presence.
It was Hikasen To, the Vice-Captain of the Fifth Division, a petite and shy girl, Winter Lion's childhood friend, and Aizen's fangirl... No, since Nayeon had saved her in the Human World, she seemed to have become his fangirl...
Seeing Hikasen To here, Nayeon realized that the reason she was called was most likely related to the Fifth Division.
After all, Hikasen To was only a Vice-Captain and usually wouldn't be involved in the high-level discussions among captains. Her presence here could only mean that the matter at hand was directly related to the Fifth Division.
"Captain-Commander, Captain Fushiro, may I ask what brings me here today?"
To be honest, as she entered, Nayeon had been observing the expressions of everyone present.
As a veteran with over a century of experience in the corporate world, Nayeon had long mastered the art of reading people's expressions and body language to predict whether an event would be favorable or unfavorable.
The Captain-Commander, leaning on his cane with his eyes closed and an emotionless face, was a high-ranking figure with over two thousand years of experience. Nayeon's century of experience paled in comparison, so she couldn't discern anything from his demeanor.
As for Captain Fushiro, he maintained a constant smile, but what he considered a good thing might not necessarily be good for Nayeon.
As for Hikasen, her eyes towards Nayeon were as shy as ever, but this time, there was also a hint of excitement and joy.
"Nayeon, the reason we called you here is indeed a matter of importance, or to be more precise, we have a task for you.
Ever since Aizen's betrayal and the recent Zanpakuto rebellion, everyone in the Gotei 13 has been extremely busy, except for you, Nayeon."
Upon seeing Nayeon, the Captain-Commander, who had been leaning on his cane, finally opened his eyes slightly and gave her a stern warning.
Caught red-handed for slacking off at work by the big boss himself, what should she do? She needed advice, and fast!
"Well, I'm not exactly idle either. I do have my busy moments, like just now when you summoned me. I was in the middle of something important, but as a member of the Gotei 13, I immediately dropped everything and rushed over upon receiving the Captain-Commander's call."
Hearing Nayeon's words, Captain Fushiro couldn't help but chuckle silently.
As the captain of the Thirteenth Division, Jushiro Ukitake was well-acquainted with the division, and among them, aside from himself, the one who could laze around the most was Yecheng.
If asked if he was busy, Ukitake would certainly not believe it. As the Third Seat of the Thirteenth Division, Yecheng did have his own duties.
However, most of the time, he would pass his work to his friend Umi Hato and his sister Yoru Do (Shiba Do).
"Is that so? Then I'm curious, what were you busy with just now?"
After all, I heard from Ukitake that your life in the Thirteenth Division is particularly leisurely."
Upon hearing the Captain-Commander's words, Yecheng looked at Captain Ukitake beside him in disbelief. He never expected that the usually kind-faced captain would stab him in the back at such a critical moment.
"I was just comforting Lady Kuchiki at the Kuchiki Estate... You know, as the Captain-Commander, that the Kuchiki family is our Gotei 13's biggest... sponsor.
The mental well-being of the Kuchiki matriarch is also very important, so I..."
Before Yecheng could finish his sentence, the Captain-Commander standing before him had already put on a serious expression, and the staff in his hand forcefully struck the ground, "You good-for-nothing! As a Seat Officer of the Gotei 13, you loaf around all day, what kind of discipline is that!
Given your outstanding performance in Kuchiki Rukia's incident, I called you here to commend you..."
Before the Captain-Commander could finish his words, Yecheng had already revealed a bewildered expression.
Was this commendation just calling him over for a scolding? If this was the case, Yecheng felt that some practical benefits would be more substantial.
The Gotei 13 was so poor it was ringing, and the recent casualty subsidies had been quite substantial. He didn't dare hope for bonuses, but if he could be granted a ten or eight-year vacation, that would be pretty good too.
"In this Zanpakuto rebellion incident, the divisions in the Gotei 13 with captains had average casualties.
However, the Third, Fifth, and Ninth Divisions, lacking captains as their pillars, suffered heavy losses.
Especially the Fifth Division, as Vice-Captain Hikasen To is a female Shinigami, currently acting as the Captain of the Fifth Division. Many Shinigami in the division do not respect a mere female mortal leading them, so when the turmoil arrived, they were completely disorganized!"
There were actually quite a few female Shinigami in the Gotei 13, and some even held high positions.
However, compared to the strong-willed Sisihan, Zabimaru, and Chaos Chrysanthemum, Hikasen To's personality was indeed too timid. It was indeed difficult for someone of her character to temporarily take on the role of captain.
Moreover, compared to Sisihan and Zabimaru, Hikasen To's experience as a Shinigami was indeed relatively shallow, so it was normal for her capabilities to be questioned.
But what does Hikasen To's lack of ability have to do with him, Yecheng? Could it be...
Just as Yecheng had this extremely ominous thought in his mind, before he could open his mouth to speak, the Captain-Commander followed up, "Given your outstanding performance this time, I've decided to promote you directly from the Third Seat of the Thirteenth Division to the Captain of the Fifth Division.
Moreover, this appointment is not up for discussion; it is a decision made by me and the other captains.
For someone as meritorious as you, Yecheng, you've been a Shinigami for over a hundred years. Whether it's in terms of strength or experience, no one is more suitable for this position than you."
