Chapter 140: Shocking! The Chief of Staff Actually Led a Team to Publicly Skip Work!
"Hello? Is anyone there? If there's anyone, give a shout? Hello?" Yamabuki called out a few times in his inner world, but unfortunately, no one paid him any attention, and the Sword Spirit had also disappeared.
It seemed she was deliberately avoiding him.
Yamabuki immediately looked distressed.
To learn Bankai, one must have sufficient communication with their Zanpakutō.
If viewed from the later worldview, Asauchi is merely a tool to draw out the power within a Shinigami.
Constantly communicating with the Zanpakutō, understanding its abilities, and knowing its name, to some extent, is a form of self-understanding.
The more thoroughly one understands oneself, the stronger the power one can naturally unleash.
At the same time, Asauchi is also a tool used by the Zero Squad to control Shinigami. Ichibē Hyōsube knows the names of all Zanpakutō and can erase these names, thereby erasing the Zanpakutō's abilities.
This is also one of the important reasons why many people insist that Ichibē Hyōsube is stronger than all Shinigami.
As long as you are a Shinigami, and as long as your combat style follows this set of rules, there's no way to defeat this bald man.
Getting back to the main topic, the most important problem right now isn't that Yamabuki's spiritual pressure isn't strong enough, but that his Sword Spirit is resisting him.
Yamabuki knew there must be a reason, but what exactly was it? He wasn't a fortune-teller, so how would he know?
It's just like your spoiled and willful girlfriend asking you to guess what she's thinking right now.
Yamabuki couldn't just stay stuck here, so he could only withdraw from his inner world.
The Sword Spirit was indeed a part of his power, but now it was clear she had developed her own personality.
What is a tsundere twin-tailed girl most afraid of losing?
Yamabuki wasn't a little girl himself, so of course he didn't know.
Checking the time, he still had several hours before getting off work, so Yamabuki decided to seek advice, especially from those young girls.
After much thought, Yamabuki finally chose Katori Chizuru.
Because among the girls he knew, Katori Chizuru was the most like a normal girl.
As for her older sister, Batsu'unsai Katori, on the surface she was a noble and elegant young lady, but deep down she was a violent maniac who enjoyed cutting people down.
As for Saitō Furōfushi...
That kind of creature doesn't even deserve to be called a girl!
It was just an alien creature that looked like a girl.
And that cunning loli, definitely a pink-haired villain, the kind that's rotten to the core.
As for Unohana, what she thought in her heart was clearest to him: killing! Killing! Still fing killing!
So after counting around, Yamabuki couldn't help but cry.
Why are all the girls around me so strange?
I just wanted to leisurely slack off, collect a few hundred years of salary, and then retire to a life of tending flowers and plants. Why is this world so hostile to me?
Yamabuki couldn't help but cry at this thought!
By the way, when did Unohana's personality change? Why did she go from a crazy woman who only wanted to kill to a gentle and virtuous older sister? First of all, Yamabuki wanted to clarify one thing: he wasn't a pervert, but he really wanted to act spoiled in the arms of a big sister!
But none of the women around him had a normal brain, except for Katori Chizuru.
Now that he encountered such a problem, he could only go to Katori Chizuru.
Yamabuki left the Eleventh Division barracks and ambled over to the Eighth Division.
Previously, at Batsu'unsai Katori's request, Katori Chizuru had been placed under her sister's command, at least ensuring her safety.
When Yamabuki arrived at the Eighth Division, he happened to see Katori Chizuru walking in, holding a thick stack of documents.
"Instructor? Why are you here?" Katori Chizuru asked with a curious expression.
"I came for you. I need your help with something. Do you have time?" Yamabuki asked.
Katori Chizuru's face showed a hint of difficulty: "There's still a lot of work waiting for me to handle..."
"I'll help you." Yamabuki volunteered.
Handling internal affairs was originally his specialty. With Yamabuki's help, the official duties that would have taken an entire afternoon were completed in just one hour.
"Done! That's great!" Katori Chizuru said happily.
People feel relaxed in two moments: one is when all their debts are paid off, and the other is when all their work is done.
It was the height of summer, and the sun in the sky was like fire, with cicadas constantly chirping from the nearby woods.
Shihakushō had no short sleeves, and everyone wiped the sweat from their foreheads as they worked.
"How about I treat you to some ice?" Yamabuki looked at Katori Chizuru with a smile. Upon hearing about ice, Katori Chizuru's eyes lit up. One must know that in this era, there was no such thing as an ice maker, and not many people could awaken ice-attribute abilities.
Thus, he successfully coaxed Katori Chizuru away.
However, generally, large noble families had their own ice cellars.
Ice was stored in winter, and if they wanted to eat it in summer, they would just take out a piece.
Yamabuki took Katori Chizuru directly to the Shihōin family.
Chika Shihōin still owed him a meal from before.
Chika Shihōin happily welcomed the two of them.
"Wait, Captain Shihōin, shouldn't you be working at the Second Division right now? Why are you at home?" Yamabuki asked with a curious expression.
Chika Shihōin said with a forced smile: "Chief of Staff, shouldn't you be at the Eleventh Division barracks right now! Why are you at my house?"
The choices of smart people are always the same.
Who would want to work at the office in this scorching summer?
Of course, it's better to stay home and cool off!
"Come, come, let's have some ice!"
"Alright, alright, let's not talk about work! Let's eat, eat, eat!"
Katori Chizuru's eyes darted around; she had also skipped work.
Yamabuki had never considered enforcing attendance. Only a company on its last legs would bother with such trivial rules.
While the relationship between employees and a company is a mutually beneficial one tied by interests, more and more bosses now believe they are superior to their employees.
Don't worry, such companies won't last long.
"Instructor, you mentioned before that you needed my help? With your abilities… what could I possibly help you with?" Katori Chizuru scooped a spoonful of shaved ice into her mouth. A refreshing coolness instantly spread, and skipping work with the advisor was truly wonderful.
Yamabuki said calmly, "Even I have many things I don't understand, such as a girl's psychology. Tell me… what do tsundere girls like?"
Chika Shihōin and Katori Chizuru both looked intrigued.
"Could it be… you like a girl? Is it not Unohana? You two even live together! Hmm, I see, you're one of those scumbags who plays with girls' hearts and bodies, aren't you?" Katori Chizuru asked excitedly.
