"Brother Yamabuki, look, I got my salary! Tonight I'll buy some snacks for Hanako; she hasn't had any in a long time! Oh, right, why didn't the Captain Commander call your name?" Chōjirō Sasakibe brought up a sensitive topic.
"Hmph, what do children know? I'm being noble; I specifically asked the Captain Commander to put my name last." Yamabuki felt as if a cat was scratching his heart, but of course, he couldn't show his anxiety in front of his subordinate; it would be demeaning!
"As expected of Brother Yamabuki, I always thought Brother Yamabuki was a very unreliable person! I'm going back first." Chōjirō Sasakibe happily ran off.
"Next, Hanako. Although you are not an official member of the Gotei 13, you always diligently care for injured members, and your contributions are indispensable. Come up and get your salary!" The Captain Commander said.
Hanako didn't expect to receive a share and happily went up to collect her salary.
Yamabuki eagerly stared at the money bag in front of the Captain Commander. Now there was only one left; it must be his.
"Katori, come here," the Captain Commander called. "Although you've only been in the Gotei 13 for one day, you can't be left out! This is yours."
When she wasn't cutting people, Batsu'unsai Katori was a very gentle and well-behaved young lady. She bowed slightly in thanks.
It's gone? It's gone! What about me? Captain Commander, you forgot me!
Seeing that Yamamoto didn't even notice him, Yamabuki cheekily followed Yamamoto into the office: "Captain Commander, um, did you forget something? What about my salary? You left me out! I haven't gotten my pay yet!"
Yamamoto looked at Yamabuki with a half-smile: "How could I forget you? You are my best subordinate!"
As the Captain Commander spoke, he took out a money bag and handed it over. Yamabuki immediately beamed with joy, but as soon as the money bag was in his hand, he realized the weight was off. There was no paper money in this era; coins should be cast from brass, so why was it so light?
Yamabuki hastily opened the money bag and found two IOUs inside. Yamabuki's face instantly turned green! Holy crap! How could I forget about this!
Last time playing mahjong, he lost a month's salary!
"Remembered?" Yamamoto asked.
Yamabuki forced a smile uglier than crying: "I remembered!"
"That's not all! You've only paid off my and Saitō's share. Fourth Squad said he wants his share next month. Half of your salary next month will also be deducted!" Yamamoto said calmly.
Yamabuki nearly vomited blood. What kind of situation was this? I swear to God, from today onwards, I will be incompatible with gambling and drugs!
"Since you've remembered, don't just stand there. Why don't you go back to work quickly? Those students at Shino'o Academy are counting on you!" Yamamoto returned to his seat and continued drinking tea. Yamabuki said bitterly, "Captain Commander, can I get half a month's salary in advance? I can't live like this."
Yamamoto said indifferently, "This Old Man doesn't have any extra food either! Besides, doesn't the squad provide food and lodging? You won't starve to death, so what's the rush?"
Having no other choice, Yamabuki arrived at Shino'o Academy with a bitter expression. Why is Heaven so unfair to me?
The students had all changed into unified uniforms; the boys wore pure white cultivation robes, and the girls also wore red long pants.
These students had been tormented by Kinroku Izuhara to the brink of death, so when they saw a new teacher, they were overjoyed, hoping this teacher wouldn't be as perverted as Kinroku Izuhara.
Yamabuki, with a cold face, as if someone owed him half a month's salary, looked at these students and coldly said, "From today onwards, I am your teacher. I am different from Kinroku Izuhara; he focuses more on theoretical knowledge, while I focus more on practical application. I will invite official members of the Gotei 13 to guide you and show you what a real battlefield is like. Come in!"
Four members of the Gotei 13 walked in from the door. They were the four best in swordsmanship, unarmed combat, Shunpo, and Kido.
"These people have all been on the battlefield and fought against Hollows. From now on, they will teach you various combat knowledge. Alright, let's begin!" Yamabuki said coldly.
When these students heard that these people were actually official members of the Gotei 13 and had even personally participated in battles, they couldn't help but feel awe.
As for Yamabuki? Of course, he found a place to catch up on sleep! If you don't pay me, can't I slack off?
He slept soundly until someone gently poked his nose with a blade of grass. Yamabuki then woke up and opened his eyes to see Katori Chizuru smiling at him.
"Chizuru? Why are you at Shino'o Academy instead of training?" Yamabuki rolled over, planning to go back to sleep.
"Instructor, wake up quickly. The sun is almost setting. My sister said she has something very important to tell you, but she won't tell me. She told me to come find you," Chizuru said.
Batsu'unsai Katori, that banshee, has something to find me for? It's definitely not a good thing, Yamabuki secretly mused.
But now everyone was on the same side. Batsu'unsai Katori shouldn't be trying to hack him with a big sword, right?
After dismissing the students, Yamabuki followed Chizuru to The Katori Family. Batsu'unsai Katori had already prepared dinner.
An unsolicited favor is either a trick or a theft.
This girl isn't still thinking about murder and silencing, is she?
"Let's talk while we eat, Chizuru, you go back to the Gotei 13 first," Batsu'unsai Katori said to her sister.
Chizuru looked at the two of them with curiosity. What secret matter did they have that they had to hide from her?
Girls are like cats; they are very curious about everything. After pretending to leave, she turned and went under the window to eavesdrop, but what was the strength of the two people in the room? And what was her strength? Chizuru was discovered by Batsu'unsai Katori and Yamabuki as soon as she returned, but the two of them pretended not to know.
"What you want to tell me should be related to Chizuru, right?" Yamabuki asked.
"Yes, I know Chizuru's abilities too well. She has no talent for combat, and I don't want her to stay in the frontline combat units. May I ask, in the Gotei 13... are there any relatively safe positions?" Batsu'unsai Katori asked.
So it was for this matter.
Just like a certain person in the future, he is also a sister complex.
Kuchiki Byakuya, I'm talking about you.
"I understand your feelings, but what does Chizuru think? Is she willing?" Yamabuki asked.
Actually, he had long wanted to establish a team specifically responsible for healing, but he was short-handed, and he also needed assistants for internal affairs. Now that there were few people, he could barely manage, but in the future, when the Gotei 13 expanded, he couldn't spend all his time on internal affairs.
"I will be responsible for persuading Chizuru. Don't worry," Batsu'unsai Katori said.
