Chapter 148 147: Excuse Me
From the meeting to now.
Even when he was ordered to go out and participate in the rescue operation, Hirako Mako didn't complain at all.
At this moment, he was acting quite impatient.
He even frowned, and his tone was not even at all peaceful.
"I have said it before, this is the work of a minority, and it is not something that young people like you can have access to at will."
"It's a hundred years too early to help. It's time to learn more about the working methods and attitudes of people like us."
"Do you understand? He's an idiot who's not even a deputy."
No... so aggressive!
I just asked tentatively, but I didn't expect to receive such a violent response.
This made Shizuya Arima look embarrassed. He hesitated for a while until old man Yamamoto glanced this way.
"Arima Shizuya, just wait inside the Seireitei."
Okay, this sentence is basically the final word.
Not only was it denied by the captain to whom it belonged, but even the overall captain made a statement.
At this moment, for Arima Shizuya, there is no room for maneuver on this matter.
Definitely...
And after a moment, as if he had thought deeply about it, old man Yamamoto made other additions.
"Regarding this rescue operation, the deputy ghost Taoist priest is Zhaotian Boxuan. You should continue to accompany the others."
Despite the participation of Lisa Yatomaru, after thinking about it for a long time, Mr. Yamamoto still seemed to think that the strength on paper was too weak.
It is not unusual to have further arrangements.
You Zhaotian Bo Xuan nodded and responded solemnly.
"Chengzhi."
So far.
It was determined that no one else present had any other opinions.
Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni gave the decision to end the meeting at this moment.
"Disband!"
In the venue, seeing that there were no more related matters for him, Daoist Master Dagui also planned to resign at this moment.
However, before exiting, he glanced at the solemn-faced Urahara Kisuke thoughtfully.
…
The machine called the Gotei 13 began to operate.
In the conference room, a group of captains began to take action, while outside the room...
Lisa Yatomaru, who was next to the person involved, showed a rather joking expression. At this moment, she turned over and landed on the ground, and said with a smile.
"You have a good captain, young man."
Arima Shizuya smiled bitterly and sighed helplessly.
"If possible, I would also like to go to the front line and have a look."
"Then grow up quickly, maybe you will have a chance next time."
Although it was just their first meeting, Lisa Yatomaru's attitude towards Shizuya Arima was relatively friendly.
Maybe it was because he was familiar with Kyōraku Shunsui?
Although Arima Shizuya still acted relatively reserved, the other party seemed to be a very familiar type.
"Thank you for leading the way today. I'll treat you to a drink next time I have a chance."
"Haha... I understand. I'm allergic to alcohol."
After waving their hands, the two parties said goodbye.
Arima Shizuya watched as Yatomaru Lisa's figure disappeared from sight, and the expression on her face became more helpless.
It's really touching.
Because he had no part in the established arrangement, Arima Shizu also wanted to give it a try at this time.
After all, it would be considered a success if he could do it without bothering the prison master.
However, judging from the results, Arima Shizuya found that he was still too optimistic...
‘Yahomaru Lisa was able to participate because of the special nature of the Eighth Division. ’
And he is just as Hirako Mako said.
At this moment, he has not been officially announced as the deputy captain.
Logically speaking, it is indeed impossible to participate in such matters.
Therefore, we can only choose some compromise methods...
‘It’s also troublesome to be paid too much attention. ’
After a brief sigh, Arima Shizuya silently retreated and disappeared into the inner courtyard.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
The few people who had already started were rushing towards their destination.
As the leader, Mako Hirako rushed to the front and asked without looking back.
“What is the specific location and information?”
Lisa Yasomaru, who was in charge of intelligence information, said almost without thinking.
"Based on the shortest distance, the Western Baidao Gate is the most suitable entrance and exit. Then follow the established route and you can reach your destination in about thirty minutes."
"That's too slow."
As the leader of the temporary team, Mako Hirako has the clearest decision-making power at this moment.
"Free your spiritual power and use Shunpo. With the old man as your guarantee, you won't be held accountable if you rush through the Seireitei."
Special treatment will be given to special circumstances. If someone does something offensive under such circumstances, they will be excused in a reasonable manner later.
Even Mako Hirako made a supplement at this moment.
"If there are really some blind people who want to hold you accountable, then just say it was my idea."
Responsibility is an important indicator, and the fact that there is such a clear allocation at this moment illustrates the "seriousness" of the situation.
Mako Hirako moved his gaze behind him.
"Yazomaru Lisa, using Shunpo consumes a lot of spiritual power. It may be a bit difficult just for your level..."
Before he finished speaking, Fengqiao Loujuro beside him said softly.
"It's okay, I'll help."
The latter didn't mean to show off, and whispered "I'm sorry", and then put his right hand on the other's shoulder.
Fengqiao Loujuro chuckled inadvertently and said in a tone that was almost teasing.
"By the way, you were very active today."
The seemingly silent Aikawa Luowu gave the answer first.
"After all, it was Kensei who got into trouble, and now even Hiyori has been involved."
They are all people worth worrying about.
What's more, Hirako Mako has an "agreement" with Urahara Kisuke.
Although the form itself is not very particular, no matter what, this is also a verbal promise as a captain.
It must not be ignored.
I can completely understand the other party's feelings, but now there are more things to care about.
Stirring the long hair that falls, Fengqiao Loujuro said in a casual tone.
"But, wasn't what I said at the meeting today a little too much?"
Hirako Mako said without turning her head.
"What do you mean?"
"Don't play dumb, it's what I said to Arima-kun."
Aikawa Rabu also added at this moment.
"After all, he is still a young man, so you should consider his face a little."
What's more...
"That kid just wants to help, right?"
Although from the perspective of everyone, Arima Shizuka is not such a stingy person.
But just thinking about it, now it makes people feel more guilty-just to ridicule a hot-blooded guy like this.
Isn't it also a loss of status?
"..."
It seems that he doesn't want to admit his mistakes.
But at the same time, he has to face his mistakes.
After hesitating for a while, Hirako Mako seemed to sigh to himself, and then muttered in a low voice.
'After this matter is over, I will go back and apologize to him. ’
Yadomaru Lisa raised her lips and showed a rather emotional expression.
“You two have a good relationship.”
“Stop arguing! After all, if something happens to me, that guy will be the future captain, so it is necessary to be strict occasionally.”
Otherwise, it will be all laughter all day long.
It is difficult to reflect the seriousness of the captain’s duties!
At the end, Arisada Bokugen, who was born in the Kidōshu, did not say much, but just smiled faintly.
After all, as a branch organization, the people who have the most contact with the Kidōshu are still the people of the criminal army.
If you can act together with Shihouin Yoruichi, maybe there will be more things to talk about.
Back to the point, after a simple adjustment of her mood, Hirako Mako’s expression finally became serious.
“Stop talking nonsense, we have to speed up!”
Hurry up.
“Try not to let the situation spread... Let’s go and get it done!”
The conversation was divided into two parts.
Just after Hirako Mako and his group had set off.
Urahara Kisuke returned to the Technical Development Bureau in a state of dismay.
Sitting at his desk, his expression was dull—even after being enlightened by Kyoraku Shunsui, he still felt so guilty and annoyed at this moment.
"That... Director?"
Responding subconsciously, Urahara Kisuke turned his head and saw the members of the Development Bureau saying goodbye to him.
This was the last employee left in the bureau today. Leaving at this moment meant that the time was approaching around twelve o'clock.
It was already late at night.
Forcing himself to be energetic, Urahara Kisuke responded with a generous smile.
"Well, go back and rest early."
"Director, please take care of yourself too."
Watching the other person's back go away, Urahara Kisuke sat on the chair and fell into silence.
Nearly an hour had passed since the start of the operation.
There was no news, and no intelligence was obtained.
The entire Soul Society was still in a blockade, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.
Logically speaking, waiting in place at this time was the most correct choice.
After all, he had not obtained the permission of Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni.
Reasonably or emotionally...
No.
This was no longer the time to consider reason.
Urahara Kisuke stood up in silence, his expression not changing at all.
Calm thinking is a requirement for researchers, but the impulse of consciousness is the instinct of being born as a human being.
In the vortex of entanglement and distress, Urahara Kisuke decided not to wait any longer.
He took out the clothes specially used to cover the spiritual pressure from the laboratory and put them on neatly.
Urahara Kisuke avoided the guards and spies in the bureau until he went around to the position next to the gate - after that, he only needed to keep moving forward and he would soon be able to leave the Soul Rei...
"What a useful thing, Captain Urahara."
The voice came from the shadows.
The Great Demon Taoist, holding the long staff held by Ryotetsai, walked out slowly from it.
"Something that can conceal one's own spiritual energy and prevent it from leaking out... Although I have heard of it before, I didn't expect it to be able to do it to this extent."
Raising his left hand and adjusting his glasses, Wu Ling Tie Zhai's tone was quite emotional.
"The so-called technology is really something that makes people feel emotional."
So.
"You think so too, boy."
Arima Shizuya, who stood beside Wuling Tessai, was showing a very peaceful smile and said in a calm tone.
"Captain Urahara, please... can you take me with you?"
There was no point in saying more, so he could only respond at this moment.
Seeing that his whereabouts had been completely exposed, he considered that refusing would cause unnecessary trouble.
In addition, the other party's appearance here... meant that his thoughts had been completely exposed.
After a brief thought, Urahara Kisuke seemed to sigh helplessly.
"I understand..."
In that case.
"Then let's go together."
