Chapter 782: Three Wives and Four Concubines, Perhaps Not So Bad After All...
"Being popular is a good thing, but sometimes it can be quite bothersome.
Who knows what it's like to eat at least six bento boxes in one go? Even though I have a bigger appetite than most, it's still overwhelming to be fed like this."
Listening to Yecheng's shameless words, Shimagumi Gin, imprisoned in the jail, couldn't help but show a look of disbelief.
If not for his sealed spiritual pressure and the chains binding his hands and feet, he swore he'd march up and give the shameless guy in front of him a few punches.
"Don't be fooled by Rangu's carefree and sometimes rough demeanor; she's actually very gentle. So, I hope you'll treat her well."
After giving Yecheng a few words of advice, Rangu left first because there were other matters in the Tenth Division.
After Rangu's departure, Shimagumi Gin looked at Yecheng, who was leaning against the iron railing, and spoke seriously.
"No, Captain Shimagumi, now that Lan Ran has been defeated, and Rangu's missing soul, as a friend, I'll also find a way to get it back. Why do you keep thinking of entrusting her to me?"
Hearing Yecheng's words, Shimagumi Gin lifted the chains on his hands and feet, then looked up at the surroundings before speaking to Yecheng, "So, do you think there's any difference between my current situation and being dead?
A three-thousand-year prison sentence, compared to Lan Ran's twenty thousand years, is nothing. But you should know that the Thirteen Court Guard Squads have only existed for two thousand years, and the Captain-Commander has only held the position for over two thousand years.
Moreover, as Rangu's childhood friend, I can sense her feelings for you..."
As Yecheng walked towards the Pure Soul Palace, he recalled the words Shimagumi Gin had said to him, finding them quite troublesome.
As Shimagumi Gin mentioned, a three-thousand-year sentence is almost a life sentence, even for a Shinigami. Most Shinigami probably wouldn't even live for three thousand years.
However, Yecheng had always considered Rangu a close friend, and although he occasionally flirted with her, he couldn't deny her bold personality and fiery figure. It would be challenging for any normal man to remain composed in such a situation...
Only a saint could remain unaffected, and even a gentleman might falter once or twice. But Yecheng had known Rangu for over a hundred years, and even a gentleman couldn't resist for that long.
To deal with Shimagumi Gin, Yecheng shamelessly admitted that he had good relationships with many female Shinigami in the Pure Soul Palace, including married women.
Hearing Yecheng's words, Shimagumi Gin suppressed the urge to strangle him and said, "Then why not marry them all!"
When Yecheng heard Shimagumi Gin's suggestion, he was initially stunned, but soon realized that it might not be a bad idea...
After all, the Soul Society was not the modern world, and its customs and environment were still reminiscent of the Heian period. In a society dominated by noble families, the modern concept of monogamy was not feasible.
Among the noble family heads in the Pure Soul Palace, having multiple wives and concubines was not uncommon.
On the contrary, those like Byakuya and Shibao Haiyan, who were devoted to their partners, were considered oddities within the noble class.
Yecheng continued his wandering thoughts until he was stopped by someone, realizing that someone had been trying to get his attention.
With the truth about the Soul Flow Street's incident a century ago revealed after Lan Ran's defeat, the Masked Legion, including Hiyori and others, had their names cleared.
Currently, there were vacant captain positions in the Thirteen Court Guard Squads, so the Captain-Commander asked Yecheng and Yawake Ichigo to act as mediators.
The Masked Legion, despite their initial defiance, ultimately returned to the Thirteen Court Guard Squads, symbolizing their roots in the Soul Society. After a century of tumultuous existence in the living world, they were more than ready to return home.
However, due to Night City's current position as the Fifth Division Captain, Hiyori was unable to resume her previous role as a Division Captain.
Despite Night City's repeated offers to step down and make way for others, his suggestion was unanimously opposed by the entire Thirteen Court Guard Squads.
"What's wrong with you? You look like you've lost your soul. Did you get injured in the battle against Captain Lan Ran?" they asked, concerned by his dazed expression.
Night City, annoyed by Hiyori's smug demeanor, pushed away the head that had leaned in too close.
"Even if my head is injured, my intelligence can still crush a fool like you!" he retorted.
Just thinking about the networking event Hiyori had organized two days ago made Night City's trigeminal nerve throb with pain.
Upon Hiyori's return to the Thirteen Court Guard Squads, he learned of the existence of the Male Shinigami Association within the organization. As a manly male Shinigami, he felt compelled to join.
With Night City's recommendation, Hiyori quickly joined the dwindling ranks of the Male Shinigami Association and, due to his captain position, immediately secured a spot on the council.
As a council member of the Male Shinigami Association, Hiyori witnessed the association's decline and the daily exodus of members. Having just returned from a century-long study abroad in the living world, he promptly offered Shasang Old Bro numerous constructive suggestions.
The number of male Shinigami in the Thirteen Court Guard Squads far exceeded that of female Shinigami, yet the Male Shinigami Association was consistently dominated by the Female Shinigami Association. This was due not only to the Female Shinigami Association's strength but also to the inaction of the Male Shinigami Association's upper echelons.
Hiyori identified three reasons for the Male Shinigami Association's dismal performance.
Firstly, the management system was flawed, riddled with loopholes, and many of their members were informants for the Female Shinigami Association.
Secondly, the association's leadership was composed of unambitious individuals who failed to devise effective countermeasures against the Female Shinigami Association's attacks, resulting in a passive and demoralizing situation.
Thirdly, the association's lack of welfare benefits made it difficult to retain members, hindering the development of a cohesive team.
In contrast, the Female Shinigami Association occasionally distributed discount coupons and sanitary napkins to its members, while the Male Shinigami Association offered nothing and often required membership fees to prevent bankruptcy.
Hiyori's speech as a council member resonated with the other male Shinigami, who applauded enthusiastically.
Shasang Old Bro, seated in the association's director position, looked at Hiyori with admiration.
After a century of studying abroad in the living world, Hiyori's insights were truly exceptional. The Male Shinigami Association finally had a strategist among its ranks! Although the association had previously boasted a wealth of talent, Night City had always remained silent and indifferent, showing no interest in association matters despite his position as a council member.
Captain Sosuke Aizen was deeply invested in the association's affairs and highly capable, but he too was struggling alone, limited by his health and energy levels.
However, the situation had changed with the addition of Hiyori to the council. This time, facing the Female Shinigami Association, they were destined to achieve a resounding victory and reclaim the dignity of the male Shinigami!
