Chapter 621: The Hell Tailor from the Zero Division!
Chapter 621: The Hell Tailor from the Zero Division!
After a series of intimidating displays, Yecheng successfully gained the respect and submission of all the members of the Fifth Division, even managing to drive out the most rebellious ones.
Although the Fifth Division now had the fewest members in the Gotei 13, Yecheng didn't mind.
After all, there would always be a fresh batch of Shinigami graduates from the True Central Spirit Academy to replenish the ranks.
If necessary, he could always put on another show at the academy to attract the attention of the new recruits.
After Yecheng's efforts to reform the Fifth Division, the once lax and demoralized atmosphere transformed into a positive and uplifting environment. Hinamori Momo, who had always admired Yecheng, now looked at him with eyes that could rival the brightest of flashbangs.
"Captain Yecheng, Kururono Chizumaru is here, and it seems she's here to take your measurements for a new captain's haori."
Recently, the Fifth Division had been relatively stable, as their role as a "rescue squad" allowed for some leisure time when not on duty.
After establishing systematic training plans for the current Shinigami of the Fifth Division, Yecheng had been lounging in his room.
However, just as Hinamori's voice trailed off, a slender figure with side-parted bangs and black shoulder-length hair entered the room without a word, her footsteps silent.
The visitor had a pale complexion and wore a white cloak adorned with clasps, her beauty accentuated by intricate golden hair accessories. Six skeletal arms extended from her back, giving her an elegant yet eerie appearance.
Kururono Chizumaru, a member of the Zero Division and a "Royal Espionage" agent, held the title of "Great Weaving Guardian" and was the creator of the Death Tyrant Uniforms.
The existing alert system in the Soul Society, the "Kururono Ranking," was named after her family.
As a division directly under the Spirit King, the Zero Division had members with ancient and distinguished backgrounds, and their ranks surpassed even that of the Captain-Commander of the Gotei 13.
Yecheng was well aware of the Zero Division, and he had also heard of Kururono Chizumaru.
However, he never expected that Kururono herself would come to take his measurements and personally craft his captain's haori.
Although Kururono was the creator of the Death Tyrant Uniforms, her status as the Fourth Officer of the prestigious Zero Division meant that she couldn't possibly be available for such tasks all the time.
If she were to personally measure every Shinigami in the Seireitei, wouldn't the Zero Division lose its prestige, and wouldn't her title of "Great Weaving Guardian" be reduced to that of an ordinary tailor?
The captains of the Gotei 13 held a higher status than regular Shinigami, but even so, Yecheng was surprised that Kururono had come to take his measurements personally.
"So, you are Yecheng? I've heard your name from Heizobu Ichibei and Fumehaya o Yuet. You and your Zanpakuto seem rather special.
Even Captain-Commander Yamamoto couldn't stop praising your abilities, so out of curiosity, I've come here myself.
After all, for those who pique my interest, I personally ensure their measurements are taken."
Yecheng didn't know much about Kururono, as while the Zero Division had a high status, in the context of the Shinigami series, they were more like extras with less presence than the vice-captains of the Gotei 13.
During the Blood War arc, they were even defeated by Urahara and his personal guard.
According to the original plan, in a few decades, you were supposed to be specially recruited into the Zero Division. But unexpectedly, you have now become a captain of the Gotei 13.
"Alright, take off all your clothes. I will now measure your body."
Night City was extremely surprised to hear that he was almost internally selected to join the Zero Division. He was about to ask the reason, but Kururono Chizumaru, the Great Weaving Guardian, asked him to remove his clothes first.
To ensure a more precise measurement, Night City complied with Kururono Chizumaru's request and took off his outer garment as instructed.
However, when Night City stopped after removing only his outer garment, Kururono Chizumaru remained silent, staring at him.
Night City: (▽`) Could it be that the so-called measurement requires me to take action myself?
Well, she is the leader of the Zero Division; it's not impossible for her to do this.
Just as Night City picked up the measuring tape and was about to ask Hikasen To for assistance, Kururono Chizumaru glared at him with a displeased expression and said, "If you were to measure yourself, then why would I have come here?
And if you're not a professional, can you guarantee the accuracy of your measurements?"
Upon hearing Kururono Chizumaru's words, Night City and Hikasen To, who were busy due to their lack of experience, froze.
Night City couldn't help but feel that the leader of the Zero Division was troublesome. He spoke up, "Then, how should I cooperate with the Great Weaving Guardian's work?"
Kururono Chizumaru showed no dissatisfaction with Night City's attitude. Instead, she looked at him seriously and said, "First, you need to take off all your clothes. This will allow me to obtain more accurate data."
"But I already... Did you mean...?"
"Yes, I want you to remove all your garments, including your undergarments, so I can take the measurements."
Hearing the words of the classical beauty with black hair before him, Night City was stunned.
To be honest, Night City believed he had encountered many female Shinigami, including the bold-spirited Chaos Chrysanthemum. He never expected Kururono Chizumaru, who also had a mature style, to be even more impressive than Chaos Chrysanthemum! If Night City, an old-timer, reacted this way, then it was even more so for the shy and timid Hikasen To by his side.
When the girl clearly heard Kururono Chizumaru's words, she had already turned into a "Steam Princess," her face flushed as she looked at Night City.
If Night City followed Kururono's instructions, should she leave to avoid suspicion or stay to help?
Either way, it was Night City's...
After hesitating for less than half a minute, Hikasen To, despite her flushed face, still had no intention of leaving the room.
She had made up her mind. As the Vice-Captain of the Fifth Division and Night City's right-hand woman, she must stay by his side, ready to assist him at any time.
If Kururono Chizumaru could stay, why couldn't she? What if she was needed to help later? Yes, she was not coveting Night City's body; she was merely being dedicated to her duties...
