Chapter 23: Chapter 023: Encounter
Aristocratic family dinners are rather boring.
However, Mazuru came to Kuchiki's house with his squad captain, which can be regarded as gaining a lot of insight.
During the period, Kuchiki Ginrei was still talking more.
For example, let everyone in the field take care of Kuchiki Koga in the future, and at the same time, in front of the three noble-born captains, say some words of encouragement to Kuchiki Koga.
He values his son-in-law very much.
This is actually an unavoidable thing.
His son, Kuchiki Sojun, inherited the blood of the Kuchiki family and was born with outstanding talents. However, he has weak and sick body and is not good at fighting.
Even though Kuchiki Ginrei can promote his son to be the vice-captain because of Kuchiki Sojun's status as the heir of the Kuchiki family, but considering his son's health, he did not dare to demand too much from his son.
However, as the head of the four great nobles, the Kuchiki family still wants to pass it on.
Therefore, he took a fancy to Koga.
Koga is very capable, and he is the son-in-law of the Kuchiki family. If he can help Sojun and becomes his deputy, and then wait for Byakuya to grow up, the glory of the Kuchiki family will continue.
Ginrei thought well.
Using the fame and favor of the Kuchiki family, through a family banquet, paved the way for Koga. If Koga follows the road he paved, the future is bound to be limitless.
However, the plan changed very fast.
A few months after the banquet at Kuchiki's house.
For Shinigami, a few years is just a snap of the fingers, and a few months is even faster.
When Mazuru heard about Kuchiki Koga again, it was from Jushiro.
"Have you heard about what happened at Kuchiki's house recently?"
In the captain room, Jushiro seems to be in good physical condition today. While handling the team affairs, he said to Mazuru, the vice-captain who is helping him with team affairs.
"What's the matter?" Mazuru asked curiously.
"It's about Kuchiki Koga."
Kuchiki Koga? As soon as the name was mentioned, Mazuru thought of the man he met at Kuchiki's house a few months ago, "What's wrong with him?"
"Kuchiki Koga was originally the captain of the First Division's Special Forces, and he is indeed worthy of Captain Kuchiki's attention. Within a short period of time after entering the Special Forces, he made outstanding achievements one after another, but in doing so he seems to have provoked some people, I don't know why, anyway, he was found to be rebellious, and now he has been imprisoned."
"This is downright framing?!"
Mazuru frowned.
When Jushiro heard this, his eyes were also focused, and he did not deny it, "Yes, as the son-in-law of the Kuchiki family, he is talented and suppresses rebellions all the year round. Of course, it is impossible for Kuchiki Koga to do such a thing. It is clear that someone framed him."
"However, even knowing that there is a problem with the matter, Kuchiki Koga is still imprisoned without evidence."
After Jushiro finished speaking, he continued, "However, the Kuchiki family is the head of the four great nobles. Even if the people in the dark framed Kuchiki Koga, with the power of the Kuchiki family, I am afraid it will not be long before he will be released."
In this Soul Society, after all, the nobles have the final say.
Central 46, which ranks above Gotei 13 Division, is composed entirely of nobles. The four nobles are the nobles at the top of many nobles, and the Kuchiki family is the head of the four nobles.
"Can he really be released?" Mazuru thought of some plots in the original animation, and didn't take Jushiro's words seriously.
...
Penance Palace.
It is the place where the Soul Society detains criminals. The framed shinigami Kuchiki Koga is locked, sitting alone in a small black room. His face is grim, and figures flicker in his mind. In the end, he locates a few nasty faces above.
"Damn! Damn! How dare you frame me, I want to kill you! Kill you!"
Feeling resentful because of being framed, Kuchiki Koga finally put his father-in-law's warnings behind him, and he didn't care about what his father-in-law said about helping him getting rid of the crime soon.
He has killing intent in his heart at this moment!
Then, it turned into a sigh.
"Whisper! Muramasa!"
...
As the vice-captain of the Thirteenth Division.
Mazuru is very busy at work.
It can be said that among the thirteen divisions of Gotei, the Eighth and Thirteenth divisions are the busiest.
The reason why Eighth Division is busy is because the captain, Kyoraku Shunsui, is frivolous and slippery, and often finds excuses to go drinking, so the team affairs are backlogged on the vice-captain and team members below, while Thirteenth Division is because the captain's health is too poor.
Looking at Jushiro, who is weak and sick, looking like he was about to collapse at any time, Mazuru originally intended to be lazy, but finally chose to help him with some team affairs.
After dealing with the team affairs, he left from captain quarters, and roamed around in the Seireitei, ready to take a little walk and let go of the wind.
Seireitei is very big, and Mazuru has not visited many places in Seireitei.
After all, he has not been in Soul Society for a long time.
At first in Rukongai, and later in Shinō Academy, he started to supplement some basic knowledge, joined the Gotei 13 Division, and in order to become famous, he frantically did missions, and then went to the present world to be stationed.
When he came back, he became the vice-captain of the Thirteenth Division. Although it was because of his outstanding talents, it is not easy to be a vice-captain. He is in an important position and needs to help the captain handle team affairs.
Without any destination, Mazuru walked casually, and before he knew it, he came to Noble Street.
Compared to other places in Seireitei, this aristocratic street, he really rarely comes here.
He came here only once during the last Kuchiki banquet.
"Aaahhh!"
A slightly shrill scream came to his ears, but the scream was not loud.
But for Mazuru, who has been in Hueco Mundo for many years and cared very much about any surrounding troubles, it was enough to attract his attention.
"It seems to be in that direction."
Mazuru looked in a certain direction and immediately moved towards that direction.
As he approached the mansion of a certain minor nobleman, a faint smell of blood came into his nostrils. He was no stranger to this smell.
"Killed?"
Mazuru didn't intend to break into other people's houses, but through his spiritual sense, he still sensed some reiatsu left in the air.
"Bakudō #58 ——Kakushitsuijaku! (Seize Foot, Chase Sparrow)"
Bakudō was suddenly released by Mazuru. With the help of reiatsu remaining in the air, Mazuru found that the murderer is not far away.
Although it was a coincidence, since we met, there was no intention of letting the other party go.
He quickly chased after Bakudō's guidance.
Soon, Mazuru left the aristocratic area and came to a wild place among the Seireitei.
A certain figure also seemed to find that someone was following him, and when he came here, he immediately stopped in his tracks, as if waiting for Mazuru's arrival.
Seeing this figure, Mazuru's eyes froze.
"Kuchiki Koga!"
Even though he had only met once at that time, he still recognized the other party.
