An hour later, the captains’ meeting ended and broke up.

A dozen or so captains filed out one after another, but instead of each going their own way, they each went to look for captains they usually did not interact with much, and began negotiating some matters within their own squads.

Normally, unless they were very close in private, the captains would not visit each other, and any official business would all be discussed after the captains’ meeting ended.

This had already been the custom back when Head Captain Yamamoto was still around, and now it was simply being carried on.

“Captain Kuchiki, please wait a moment,” Ukitake Jushiro, who was in fairly good physical condition today, spoke up and stopped Kuchiki Byakuya, who was about to leave.

“Captain Ukitake, may I ask what this is about?”, Kuchiki Byakuya halted, turned around, and gave Ukitake Jushiro a slight nod in greeting, every movement flawless.

“It is about Rukia. Did she mention it to you? In about a month, she will be going to the Human World to be stationed there,” Ukitake Jushiro explained.

The Thirteenth Division was also known as the Purification Division. Generally, the Shinigami stationed in the Human World were provided by the Thirteenth Division.

In terms of strength, Rukia definitely had the ability of a high-ranking seated officer.

It was only because of Kuchiki Byakuya’s special care that she had not yet been promoted to a seated officer, which was also a kind of protection for her.

But because of Shiba Kaien’s death, Rukia’s mood had been very low these past few years. It just so happened that the Shinigami stationed in Karakura Town were due for rotation, so Ukitake Jushiro suggested letting her go to the Human World to relax a bit, and Rukia agreed.

It was just that Rukia did not dare bring it up to Kuchiki Byakuya, which was why Ukitake Jushiro had stopped him here.

“She has not mentioned it to me. This matter is internal to the Thirteenth Division. Thank you, Captain Ukitake, for informing me,” Kuchiki Byakuya nodded lightly. He naturally understood Ukitake Jushiro’s unspoken meaning, and also gave a response along with it.

He did not interfere with Rukia’s wishes.

Back when his wife died, her last words were that she hoped he would find her younger sister, and that he would take care of her.

Not only did he do that, he even went against the opposition of everyone in the clan and let Rukia join the Kuchiki family. Those were the only two times in his life that he had ever been willful.

The first time was when he married his wife.

The second time was when he brought his wife’s younger sister into the Kuchiki family.

That was already the limit of what he could do.

At most, if Rukia encountered some major trouble, he would provide some personal help, but that was all.

“Captain Kuchiki, I understand. This stationing will only last one year. With Rukia’s strength, there will be no problems at all. Please rest assured,” Ukitake Jushiro smiled and also gave his own assurance.

The level of Hollows that appeared in the Human World was not very high to begin with, and on top of that, he also knew that Hirako and Urahara Kisuke were there, so he was even less worried about Rukia.

Other ordinary squad members might get killed by suddenly appearing powerful Hollows because support could not arrive in time, but with Rukia’s strength, as long as an Adjuchas did not suddenly appear, there would be absolutely no problem.

However, although Rukia’s strength was not bad, her status was different from others, so he still had to pay a bit more attention.

After the two finished talking, they went their separate ways and did not linger.

Among the remaining captains, the loudest voice was still Kenpachi Zaraki’s challenges to fight.

Compared to those squad affairs, he much preferred just having a good brawl.

Unfortunately, there were not many battle maniacs in the Gotei 13, so in the end Kenpachi Zaraki could only drag Hitsugaya away with him.

As the youngest captain present, and with both Rosse and Rangiku telling him to train more with Kenpachi, Hitsugaya had no way to refuse.

He actually hated fighting, but since it was an old captain’s arrangement, and Kenpachi Zaraki kept pestering him every day, he had no choice.

And the most annoying thing was that every fight left him covered in injuries. It hurt a lot, okay.

After all the captains had left, the Tenth Division gradually quieted down, leaving only Rosse and Rangiku behind.

“Captain!”

Seeing that there was no one else around, Matsumoto Rangiku completely dropped the seriousness she had just had, and her whole body became light and lively like a cat freed from its shackles.

She giggled, and her figure suddenly threw itself into Rosse’s arms.

That warm, soft body, carrying her unique fragrance, pressed tightly against him.

After nestling into Rosse’s arms, she immediately tilted her head up, wrapped both arms around Rosse’s neck, and pulled his head into her chest.

She especially liked doing this, especially using her own assets to brush against Rosse’s face. Every time it gave her a kind of electric pleasure.

She used to think that some of what she had was a bit of a burden, and that every fight made her a bit slower.

But since Rosse liked it, what could she do.

After knowing Rosse liked it, she completely changed her mind, and that place became her treasure.

“You, didn’t you eat enough yesterday?”

Rosse laughed as he used both hands to support Rangiku’s thighs so she would not fall to the ground.

Two years ago, he picked Rangiku’s birthday and took her to the Human World to have some fun, and in the end, that night he successfully got what he wanted.

After that, Matsumoto Rangiku had gotten a taste for it. That period of time really made him feel great. In some aspects, Rangiku was truly bold beyond all measure.

Some of the methods he had forcibly used on Shutara, with Matsumoto Rangiku he did not need to force anything at all. Just a light pat and she would take up the right position on her own.

“I ate enough, but that doesn’t stop me from wanting more right now.”

Matsumoto Rangiku lowered her head slightly. That gorgeous face, faintly flushed, was facing Rosse at this moment, her eyes shimmering with a kind of lazy, teasing charm unique to a mature woman.

As she spoke, her hot breath brushed against Rosse’s ear. Those phoenix eyes that were usually half closed were now completely narrowed into slits, leaving only a bewitching allure.

Her tongue gently swept over her full lower lip, carrying a moist sheen, as if she were savoring something delicious.

“You still have to go over to the Shiba house tonight, right. I have to get my share first~”

She muttered with a hint of dissatisfaction, that spoiled tone carrying an unmistakable firmness. She twisted her body restlessly, lowered her head slightly, and took the initiative to kiss Rosse.

Rangiku did not care that Rosse had other people outside, because with Rosse’s strength, having other people was actually a normal thing.

To be honest, if Rosse were to focus on only her, she would instead feel afraid.

Some things you really do not understand the gap in strength unless you experience them yourself.

After going through it, she knew she was not his match.

She felt that with Rosse’s strength, only Unohana might barely be able to hold out against him.

In this regard, her instincts were quite sharp.

But she did not mind any of this. After all, she was Rosse’s vice captain, and also his most cherished little secretary.

Just that alone was enough.
