"The matter is resolved. Take the squad members back to the Seireitei." Yamabuki sent a message to Unohana, then he himself took Iba back to the Gotei 13 to see the Captain Commander.
Yamamoto was still sitting in his office, calmly practicing calligraphy.
"Captain Commander, I'm back, and I've brought you someone new!" Yamabuki briefly introduced Iba.
Yamamoto didn't say anything, only nodded slightly, letting Yamabuki arrange the subsequent matters himself.
Yamabuki settled Iba in the squad, temporarily serving as the Ninth Division's provisional Captain.
After settling Iba, Yamabuki went directly to Senjumaru Shutara's residence. Indeed, Senjumaru Shutara was still conceptualizing the prototype for the new shihakushō. It looked like it would take a long time to complete the new shihakushō.
He went over to take a look and found that there was a problem with the design drawings for the new shihakushō!
There was too little fabric!
The new shihakushō was designed as armor. This wasn't some deceptive game where less clothing meant higher defense.
Yamabuki looked closer. The upper body was a highly revealing small vest, similar in style to the underwear worn by girls during puberty in later generations. It exposed both shoulders, only covering the chest, with the abdomen and navel also exposed.
The lower body was a pair of very cool-looking short shorts, and Senjumaru Shutara had even meticulously designed lace trim!
"This... this thing isn't your new swimsuit design, is it!" Yamabuki complained, "Big sister, we're about to go to war, do you know what going to war means? And you still have the mood to design swimsuits?"
Senjumaru Shutara said righteously, "The Quincy won't arrive for another five months, but summer will be over in two months. How can war compare to having fun? I must design the swimsuits before summer ends. Don't you want to see Unohana or Katori Chizuru wearing my designed swimsuits by the river, giggling?"
This...
Just thinking about Unohana's graceful figure and Katori Chizuru's proud stature...
How could I not want to see it!
"Excellent work! I fully support you." Yamabuki patted Senjumaru Shutara on the shoulder.
"Also, I've already made progress on improving the shihakushō. You don't need to worry; I'll have a finished product in a month at most." Senjumaru Shutara was very confident.
"If you say so, then I'm relieved. However, even if the swimsuits are made, they need sufficient publicity. Doesn't Saitō still owe me more than twenty working days? I completely forgot about this recently!" A wicked smile appeared on Yamabuki's face.
That afternoon, he mysteriously sought out Saitō, carrying the latest swimsuit design by Senjumaru Shutara.
Saitō Furōfushi was handling official business in her Sixth Division. Seeing Yamabuki's mischievous smile, she vaguely guessed that something was up.
"What are you doing here? It's work hours. Is the Eleventh Division that idle?" Saitō Furōfushi glared at Yamabuki.
Yamabuki walked over to Saitō Furōfushi with a chuckle, gently massaging her shoulders: "What are you saying? We're the best comrades. Is there a problem with me coming to see you? It's so hot, I even brought some snacks! Let's all have some snacks!"
Yamabuki called over the other members of the Sixth Division to eat snacks.
Thank you, Chief of Staff.
The squad members were really uncomfortable working in this weather, and finally, they could rest for a while.
They all heard that the Chief of Staff was the most caring superior in the entire Gotei 13, and it turned out to be true.
Only Saitō Furōfushi knew what kind of scoundrel this guy was, and he looked at Yamabuki with a wary expression.
"You don't have any malicious intentions, do you?" Saitō Furōfushi questioned.
"Am I really that bad in your eyes?" Yamabuki said with a sad expression, "I even brought you a gift. Since you're saying that about me, never mind, I'll give the gift to Batsu'unsai Katori instead!"
"Wait, a gift? What gift?" Saitō Furōfushi was curious, and the other squad members also had expressions of eager anticipation.
Gossip is human nature; it's not just girls, men are just as gossipy.
Yamabuki mysteriously opened the gift box and took out a piece of clothing: "This is the latest style. Try it on and show everyone."
The moment Saitō Furōfushi saw the new clothes, he immediately recalled the last time he wore a maid outfit and died of embarrassment, and he cautiously unfolded the clothes.
"...Yamabuki, are you sure this is clothing? The fabric of my rag is more than this! Are you intentionally trying to trick me?" Saitō Furōfushi looked at the flimsy little skirt and small vest, and his face instantly turned crimson.
"This is the latest style of swimsuit in Seireitei, specifically for swimming, so it can prevent peeping from perverted lechers. How about it? Isn't it good! On the day it's released, I plan to have you wear this outfit as a signboard girl." Yamabuki said proudly.
Saitō Furōfushi gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words: "Just accumulate some virtue!"
"What I'm doing is accumulating virtue and doing good deeds. I ask, among all the squad members present, who doesn't want to see you wear this outfit? Male comrades who want to see it, raise your hands." Yamabuki directly leveraged the power of public opinion, and in an instant, all the male squad members raised their hands high.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
If I could see the captain wear this outfit, I'd be willing to shorten my life by three years.
"I'd like to see who dares to make a fuss!!!" Saitō Furōfushi roared at his subordinates, his face red.
"Captain, this is a request from all male members of the Sixth Division, you must wear it and show us." The squad members said excitedly.
In fact, this kind of attire would be commonplace a thousand years later, especially in the hot summer, when girls would show off their figures.
Of course, for this era, the revealing nature of this clothing was indeed a bit high.
"Forget it, I won't force you. Since you're not confident in your figure, I'll go find Batsu'unsai Katori or Yamatake Chiyo! They'll definitely agree readily." Yamabuki sighed.
Saitō Furōfushi grabbed Yamabuki's collar: "I can understand you looking for Batsu'unsai Katori, but what do you mean by looking for Yamatake Chiyo? Is my figure not as good as hers?"
Yamabuki smiled mysteriously: "Don't underestimate her, she actually has quite a lot to offer, and not all men like mature girls. Cute girls are also very popular! I know you're not confident about being a woman, so I won't force you. Goodbye."
"Stop right there. Who said I'm not confident? I'll show you the charm of me as a young girl."
