Chapter 169 168: Tired

By the time Arima Shizuya woke up, it was already the afternoon of the next day.

It's been a long time since I've been able to sleep like this in one breath for so long.

While sighing, Arima Shizu received two pieces of good news.

One.

My body does seem to be gradually recovering as time goes by.

Arima Shizuya breathed a sigh of relief because of the 'internal injuries' that could be healed slowly as long as he rested.

Second.

Even Ichimaru Gin is surprisingly capable.

Unexpectedly, during the time when Arima Shizuya took a nap, he handled various matters within the team with ease.

It is precisely because of this that the person involved was able to sleep peacefully until now.

Sitting up in a daze, Arima Shizuya looked at the note left on the table, as well as the various documents that he could not handle as a deputy captain.

The classification and organization are very good. It seems that the prison master is also careful enough in cultivating silver.

oops.

Steal half a day's leisure.

Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, Arima Shizu also adjusted her sitting posture.

I plan to briefly take stock of the various gains in recent days.

Speaking of which, it’s been a while since I’ve done this? But this is normal.

After all, during this period of time, I am so busy with both scheming and fighting with others. How can I have the time to do all these fancy things?

It has to be now.

Everyone was injured, some fled, and some were on duty...

Arima Jing was finally completely free.

The end of the virtual event also means that the direction of the plot has been roughly determined.

It has been less than a hundred years since the plot began - there are still more than ninety years left to fight Yhwach. At your age, can you sleep well?

Arima Shizuo couldn't help but show a wry smile.

I feel free, but it doesn’t seem to be the same thing...

Let’s take a look at the harvest of this trip, family members.

The first obvious result is the current position of Arima Shizuya.

He has now officially become the captain of the fifth division, and with the power of Bengyu, he fully knows the name of the Zanpakutō.

I found my own source of strength.

This is definitely good news. After all, for the current Arima Shizuya, he is still a relatively simple 'reaper'.

There is nothing messy in the body, so there will naturally be no such inexplicable explosion...

But relatively speaking, Arima Shizuya's improvement in strength will be relatively simple.

All you need to do is continue to exercise and refine your spiritual pressure.

But speaking of this.

Arima Shizuya had a rather helpless expression on his face.

One piece of good news and one piece of bad news.

The bad thing is that after fighting with the prison master, his attribute values ​​​​have not improved in any sense.

From this perspective, only two conclusions can be deduced.

The prison master has no murderous intention towards him, or there is absolutely no point in doing it with an acquaintance.

As for the good news, after taking action with Broken Bee, there was actually some improvement...

[You fought against the Broken Bee, found one ten millionth flaw in the opponent's attack, and defeated the opponent easily]

[Kendo +1 White Fighter +1 Shunpo +1 Kidō +1]

[Cut: 69] [Fist: 78] [Walk: 64] [Ghost: 74]

It's emotional.

Unexpectedly, despite all the busy work, I ended up giving +1 to all series.

I will probably never forget it for the rest of my life, Broken Bee, you are too weak!

Of course, this is just a complaint in my mind. After all, attribute points become more difficult to obtain as you go to the back.

What's more, when he escaped from the encirclement and suppression by four people before, he only gained 11 attribute points.

At times like this, I somewhat miss the time when I was still a rookie.

There are gains every day, and great strides are made at every turn. Just thinking about it makes people envious...

So in the final analysis, this is still a watershed effort.

Just like how you practiced under old man Yamamoto before, finding a suitable way to improve yourself is the most orthodox solution?

Arima Shizu also briefly thought about it and found that the most trouble-free and biggest improvement was the method of integrating the four major systems.

After all, after learning [Instant Coax], his attribute points immediately increased by 20.

So we still have to work hard in this area.

While thinking, Arima Shizuya heard a knock on the door not far away.

After coming back to his senses slightly, he looked serious...he opened his mouth and said.

"Come in."

Ichimaru Gin poked half of his head in.

"Are you awake?"

"Oh, thank you so much for last night."

"Ha...be more careful next time."

"As long as Yin is here, it will be no problem. Besides, I happen to have other things to ask you for."

Saying thank you is a courtesy, and working is a duty.

Arima Shizuya readily took out the captain's exclusive seal and threw it directly on the table.

"Please get rid of these things too. My seal will remain here... you can knock it as you like!"

"……ha?"

Seeing Ichimaru Gin's puzzled expression, Arima Shizu was quite calm.

"What the hell? This is the glorious tradition of our fifth division. Since we are going to serve here, we must be mentally prepared."

"What kind of tradition is this..."

Ma Jing doesn’t care.

Really dissatisfied? Then ask Pingzi and his immediate boss, the prison master, who have escaped to the present world.

Wu~ Arima Shizu just wants to escape in an open and honest manner.

Seeing his captain running out of the door with a smile, Ichimaru Gin looked at the stacked document bags and fell into deep thought at this moment.

——Is there really a way out of hanging out with this guy?

As for Arima Jingye.

Although it seems a bit excessive in terms of behavior, in fact there are also considerations.

That guy Yin will definitely not sit in the position of vice-captain for too long. This guy's future strength level will definitely reach captain-level standards.

Even if the person involved does not have the will to do so, the prison master will definitely find ways to arrange for him to take up posts in other divisions in order to expand the sphere of influence of his team.

So.

You will have to come into contact with these tasks sooner or later, it just allows you to feel the feelings in advance.

You can't thank us enough!

At the same time, the person involved was not just wandering around on the street... he had a clear goal in mind, after being on the road for a while.

Arriving at the door of the Fourth Division team building.

After briefly tidying up his appearance, Arima Shizuya coughed twice, smiled and said to the team member guarding the gate.

"Excuse me, I'm here to see Captain Unohana Retsu. Could you please tell me something?"

The guard at the gate was already sweating profusely...

Because the Hollow Incident had a far-reaching impact, and it had only been a few days, many people had not yet had any impression of the new captain.

But no matter what.

The captain Haori on his body cannot be faked, and now the captain of the fifth division comes to visit!

Wow wow wow, is this going to be a big deal? !

"You, please wait!"

Seeing the opponent almost crawling away and returning to the team building, Arima Shizu also showed a rather helpless expression.

So is the captain’s identity so intimidating?

I can only say that I am indeed not very sensitive to these things. When I first got along with Hirako Mako and others, I would not pay too much attention to these aspects.

As for now...

For ordinary team members, the so-called captain is indeed a very oppressive status?

While his thoughts were ups and downs, the hurried-looking team member walked out with a worried look on his face.

"Captain of the fifth division, Captain Unohana is currently out..."

Arima Shizu also looked astonished.

"Ah, that's really unfortunate..."

No, actually this is what I want to hear!

"So your team's vice-captain is in the team building?"

Since the captain is not here, it is also a normal process to find the deputy captain in charge.

The soldier did not doubt that he was there, raised his head, and replied decisively.

"Yes, yes! Vice Captain Kotetsu is in the team building!"

Due to the transfer of Yamada Aonosuke, the position of deputy captain has always been vacant.

After the turmoil of the Hollow Incident, with the personnel changes in many divisions... the fourth division also made corresponding adjustments.

Kotetsu Yuune assumes the position of deputy captain of the fourth division.

"Excuse me, please help lead the way."

"This way please!"

Walking through the unfamiliar corridor, Arima Shizu couldn't help but look around.

Although this is not my first time here, it is still somewhat unfamiliar.

After all, the last time I came here was many years ago, and I was beaten half to death by Gui Yancheng...

How could I be in the mood to see the scenery?

"This is it, captain of the fifth division."

Seeing the other party's reserved look, Arima Shizuo couldn't help but laugh.

"Thank you. Also, my name is Arima Shizuya... We are all members of the Gotei 13, so there is no need to be so reserved with me."

"You, you're welcome! Captain Arima!"

The respectful look on the other side is really frustrating.

It seems that the idea of ​​getting along with others is somewhat unrealistic?

Seeing the other party leave respectfully, Arima Shizuya was just about to raise his hand and knock on the door.

But he saw that the sliding door had been pulled open a crack... half of Kotetsu Yuine's face appeared at the door, looking at him strangely.

"..."X2

So embarrassing.

But something has to be said.

Arima Shizuya raised his right hand after consideration, showed a stiff smile, and whispered.

"Um...Long time no see?"

…

Boom!

As the sliding door closed, Arima Shizuya sat on the chair and watched Kotetsu Yuune looking at him with some anxiety.

The atmosphere still has an indescribable subtlety.

The first person to break the silence was Arima Shizuya.

"How have you been lately?"

"It's okay..."

"Really? The fourth team's team building has been renovated recently, right? It looks much better than before."

"Well, Captain Unohana paid for it out of his own pocket."

"So that's it. What a generous captain."

"That...has a horse."

"Um?"

"Congratulations, you have become the captain of the fifth division."

"Ha...thank you."

It was only after hearing these words that a faint smile appeared on Arima Shizuya's face.

"It's just that if possible, I hope to hear this sentence on other occasions."

For example.

At the inauguration ceremony a few days ago?

"Why didn't Yongyin come over that day?"

The other party obviously lowered his head, his thick eyebrows were twisted as usual, and his tone became hesitant.

"I, I just feel..."

He placed his hands on his knees, and his shoulders began to tremble uncontrollably.

"Someone like me is ordinary and has no characteristics..."

"Someone who is not beautiful at all..."

"It should be, not suitable to stand next to Arima-kun..."

So he didn't dare to attend the inauguration ceremony.

Even the gift was asked to be delivered by Qingyin.

Hearing this, Arima Jing couldn't help but sigh.

Ha.

Here it comes again.

Kotetsu Yuyin's signature self-loathing.

Because he usually cares too much about the eyes of others, he will only appear more sensitive at this time.

A slender and pitiful person.

But this empathy is essentially a kind of understanding psychology caused by long-term bullying of height discrimination.

It is another kind of inferiority complex.

Arima Jing also straightened up and said in a sincere tone.

"But I never thought so."

"I know! But, but I..."

Tetsu Yuin hesitated for a while, and his eyes soon turned red.

"I still can't accept myself like this..."

It seems difficult to convey one's feelings just through verbal communication.

Arima Shizuya can only choose a more straightforward way.

He walked around the desk and walked towards Totsu Yuin.

The other party obviously showed a rather flustered expression, and even looked like a kind of fear.

"Yes, Arima-kun?"

"It's okay, I won't do anything excessive."

So.

"Can you stand up?"

The tone was sincere and helpless. Looking at Arima Shizuya's expression at this moment, Totsu Yuin couldn't say anything more.

Although I didn't understand what the other party was going to do.

But it was obviously not appropriate to refuse at this time.

Standing up a little stiffly.

Under Arima Shizuya's command, Totsu Yuin opened his hands and made a gesture of raising his head and chest at the same time.

"Well, that's it."

There was only one thing left.

Arima Shizuka also walked forward slowly and hugged Kotetsu Yuune.

Putting her head on the other's shoulder, Arima Shizuka slowly closed her eyes, and her expression gradually relaxed.

"I'm very tired recently..."

Fighting with others, finding the key to breaking the deadlock, and balancing the situation in all aspects.

Although she stood on the side of the prison master and started various series of activities.

But in the final analysis, Arima Shizuka still adhered to the principle of retaining the vitality of the Gotei 13.

While striving for enough benefits, she also had to take into account the safety of others' lives.

Although it seemed that the arrangements were well organized and completed well afterwards.

But for the parties involved...

These things were enough to make Arima Shizuka feel exhausted physically and mentally.

There was no one to talk to.

After all, even in front of the prison master, some words could not be said.

In comparison.

A place where comfort and warmth could be found.

Originally, there was only Kotetsu Yuune left.

"Three... no, five minutes will do."

"Comfort me a little."

"Can you?"

Under this almost pleading tone, the girl also pursed her lips.

It seems that behind this so-called glamorous surface, Arima Shizuka is already "covered with wounds" at this moment?

Self-blame, sadness, and even a little regret surged in his heart.

Tetsu Yuin felt that he should not say those excessive words, after all, the other party's request was so simple.

It's just a hug.

"Sorry, Arima..."

If only he could do it-Tetsu Yuin gently patted Arima Shizuka's back, and his eyes softened at this moment.

"Arima, you can stay here as long as you want."
