Death: No cheats, take refuge in Aizen

Chapter 31 31. Unohana Retsu’s problem needs to be solved

In the end, Tapir Yao Dao Leihuo was taken away by Yunjing Yaokaku, and Higashino Shuichi also returned to Kasumitalu's house with Yunjing Yaokaku.

Along the way, due to Higashino Shuichi's request, Kumoi Yaojue did not take him through the main entrance, but chose a hidden path.

Then in the study of the head of the Kasumodaoji family, Higashino Shuichi met the head of the Kasumodaoji family, Kasumitaji Mayou.

However, for a Shinigami like Higashino Shuichi with captain-level combat power to surrender, Kasumioji Shinsuke did not show any joy. Even in Higashino Shuichi's view, Kasumiaoji Shinsuke's attitude could be called a bit cold.

However, Higashino Shuichi doesn't care about this. He only needs to gain the approval of the Kasumioji family. With the Kasumioji family, which is second only to the five nobles, as his backer, it will be much easier to do many things in the future.

This is also the reason why Aizen had been peeking nearby but did not stop Higashino Shuichi from releasing captain-level spiritual pressure in front of Kumoi Yaokaku.

However, Higashino Shuichi's remaining two requests were temporarily blocked by Kumoi Yaokaku for different reasons.

There is a requirement to visit the production process of tapir knives. The current round of tapir knives used by Kumoi Yaokaku is being tested, and the production of a new round of tapir knives has not yet been put on the schedule. This is the reason;

As for the qualifications to enter the Great Spiritual Book Corridor, Yunjing Yaokaku uses the reason that it takes a certain amount of time to operate.

These two reasons sound reasonable, and Higashino Shuichi is not qualified to refute them.

After all, no matter what, he is now, in a sense, half a retainer of the Kasumioji family.

They don't care about each other and only use each other.

So at night, Higashino Shuichi returned to his residence in the 2nd District of Nishi Rukong Street alone.

It's not that he doesn't want to live in Seireitei, but the house prices in Seireitei are too high. With his salary accumulated over the years, he can only buy a small flat floor of less than 100 square meters in Seireitei.

For Higashino Shuichi, it would be better to work harder on yourself and buy a single-family three-story "small villa" covering an area of ​​more than 300 square meters in Rukongai, and even get a small garden of nearly 50 square meters for free.

"Lord Aizen!"

As soon as he entered the house, took off his shoes and went to the second floor, Higashino Shuichi saw a man drinking tea and admiring the moon leisurely.

"Didn't you go visit?"

Aizen said after taking a sip of tea without looking back.

"No, I guess Yunjing Yaojue will have to prepare carefully before letting me go. He doesn't intend to let me see the slightest clue."

Higashino Shuichi shook his head.

"This is normal and not unexpected, but in the future when you work for Kasumadaoji's family, you must be more careful. An enemy cannot be wiped out with just one word."

Aizen didn't dwell too much on this topic. For him, as long as Higashino Shuichi successfully joined the Kasumioji family, then the Kasumioji family would be undefended to him, knowing that it was called the tapiraya sword. It was only a matter of time before the secret of the new knife was revealed.

On the contrary, Aizen was more concerned about another thing that happened a few days ago, "Speaking of which, what do you think of the captain of your fourth division, Unohana Retsu?"

Higashino Shuichi looked at Aizen's back, and he knew that Aizen must have smelled something unusual from the retelling of what Shifouin Yoruichi said to Unohana Retsu that day.

"Captain Unohana is usually very gentle with others, and her favorite activity is flower arranging, a skill that seems harmless to humans and animals. But as Aizen-sama has analyzed before, I always feel that there is something hidden under her gentle appearance. With a very delicate heart.

In addition, since I joined the Gotei 13th Division, I have never seen Captain Unohana take action, but she has always been stable in this position, and no one has ever tried to shake her position."

Having said this, Higashino Shuichi paused, seemed to sort out his thoughts, and then continued after confirming again,

“Either she has a strong aristocratic background like Captain Kyōraku Shunsui of the Eighth Division, Yoruichi Shihoin, the Captain of the Second Division, Ginru Kuchiki, the Captain of the Sixth Division, and Jūshirō Ukitake, the Captain of the Thirteenth Division;

Either she is like Captain Yamamoto, with absolute strength that cannot be replaced. Others, even if they have the idea of ​​challenging her, will be killed immediately! "

Aizen turned around with an imperceptible smile on his lips, "As far as I know, your captain Unohana doesn't have any extraordinary aristocratic background."

Higashino Shuichi lowered his head in silence.

Aizen's meaning was very clear. He believed that Unohana Retsu must have unfathomable strength, otherwise he would never have stayed as the captain of the fourth team for such a long time.

This is far longer than the tenure of most normal captains.

Regardless of whether the Fourth Division is mixed in as a medical squad, there is no need to participate in high-intensity battles and other reasons.

"If that's the case, Lord Aizen, I suspect that Captain Unohana is already suspicious of me. The cessation of activities two years ago is probably just her delaying strategy."

Higashino Shuichi said with a frown.

"It's not possible to doubt it, but it's certain."

Aizen interrupted Higashino's statement.

This made Higashino Hideichi curious.

There was Kumoi Yaoka before him and Aizen behind him. Why were they so sure that Unohana Retsu had doubts about him?

"I don't quite understand, Aizen-sama."

Higashino Hideichi humbly asked for advice.

"Just when you were in Hueco Mundo to deal with the people sent by the Kasumioji family, Retsu Unohana went to the 13th Division team building, and there, he asked about your whereabouts."

Aizen said calmly.

In Higashino Hideichi's mind, it felt like thunder was rolling in the sky and a heavy rain was coming.

But soon, seeing the calm expression on Aizen's face, Higashino Shuichi also realized the problem.

"If Captain Unohana really doubts me, there is no need for her to inquire about my whereabouts so blatantly. She could have privately found Captain Ukitake of Division 13 to learn about the situation, but she said that to Captain Yoruichi."

Contradiction, really too contradictory.

For a moment, Higashino Shuichi wondered whether all this was due to him being too paranoid about being persecuted, or whether Hana Retsu Uno had never doubted him at all, and everything was just caused by him catching wind and shadow here. the illusion.

"Speaking of which, this may also be attributed to the suggestion that Shuichi you made to me at the beginning. If I am not wrong, the current Unohana Retsu must be in conflict because of this reason."

Aizen said confidently.

Ever since Hideyoshi Higashino told him that Unohana Retsu might have doubts about him two years ago, Aizen said that Hideyoshi Higashino should just act with caution. In fact, from then on, he began to Observations on Unohana Retsu.

This includes the several meetings that Unohana Retsu had with Hikifune Kiryu, the captain of the 12th division, some time ago.

Although Aizen had no way of knowing the content of the meeting between the two because he had not exerted any influence on the two of them, given the sensitive time of the meeting between the two, Aizen was able to analyze a lot from it.

There is a saying in this world that when there are enough coincidences, it is no longer a coincidence.
