Chapter 179 178: Captain's Meeting

Time passes.

In the blink of an eye, it will be two days later.

At the intersection of autumn and winter, it was already chilly... but now the wind was even worse, causing pedestrians to speed up their pace.

As usual, Arima Shizuya and Ichimaru Gin walked quickly through the long corridor until they reached the solemn meeting room.

"Yin, as before, go outside and wait for a while."

The latter nodded in response and retreated to the courtyard to meet the other vice-captains who were already in place.

Matsumoto Rangiku was already greeting him.

Seeing Gin Ichimaru walking over with a look of disgust on his face, Shizuya Arima turned around with a smile and walked into the conference room.

There were already many people waiting inside, and now I looked around and found that I was among the group of people who arrived earlier.

"Captain Arima!"

The one who speaks.

It was the captain of the 10th division who paid a visit a few days ago but failed to meet him in the end.

Shiba Isshin.

In his youthful state, Isshin looks tall and cheerful, with no stubble on his face, and his movements have a refreshing feeling unique to young people.

"I'm really sorry about what happened a few days ago... Rangiku is under your care."

The other party was extremely polite, and Arima Shizuya didn't care much about it.

"It's just a small matter, don't take it too seriously."

It would be better to say that Rangiku Matsumoto has this kind of temper, and Shizuya Arima already knew it before the contact.

Have a correct attitude and speak politely.

Faced with such a battle, even though he was mentally prepared for this, Shiba Isshin couldn't help but reveal a relaxed smile.

"Since you can understand it this way, it's of course the best...after all, you came really early today."

It may seem like a very low-level gossip, but in fact it all has a reason.

"Occasionally, you have to arrive early, Captain Shiba. Otherwise... the old man's iron fist will be merciless."

It is definitely not uncommon to be held responsible for being late.

It's just that Arima Shizuya wants to avoid it as much as possible.

"Ah, this sentence really makes sense. I remember last time I was beaten out by an old man with a stick~"

Kyōraku Shunsui, who looked like he had dark circles under his eyes, came over with a smile.

The uncle is also dressed in a fancy dress today.

"No, the leader of the Kyōband was scolded in public because he made unauthorized changes to the haori, right?"

Arima Shizuya said with a smile.

"Although I think it has a sense of design, it is really not a wise move to take action in this regard."

Compared to having his scandal exposed, Kyoraku Shunsui was more concerned about Arima Shizuya's attitude at the moment.

"Oh~ At first I thought that if it were Captain Arima, he would definitely understand the uniqueness of this design."

Kyōraku Shunsui's tone even contained a bit of showoff.

"You know, this is a pattern designed by Nanao-chan herself. It directly lines the pattern of the team uniform. Don't you think it's cool?"

"Then who hit you in the eye?"

"Ahaha, I drank a little too much because I was so happy, Nanao-chan couldn't help but get angry~"

I don’t know whether I should say that he is naturally familiar with it or something...

Kyōraku Shunsui was promoting his favorite thing with a smile, making Isshin Shiha next to him look embarrassed.

"Ah, haha...it does seem interesting."

"Yeah~"

It is not difficult to see that this Shiba master is not good at dealing with fancy guys.

Jushiro Ukitake, who stood next to Kyōraku Shunsui, coughed twice, as if he was warning his friend in a rather subtle way.

‘Be restrained, it’s not a good thing to bully newcomers like this. ’

The playful captain of the eighth division glanced at his close friend beside him, and in the end he just shrugged calmly.

'Okay, okay, as you wish...'

In comparison, the other captains present were quite calm.

——Or maybe you are already used to it?

After all, compared to the situation 40 years ago, the current team configuration has been going on for quite some time.

Under the wash of time, the so-called joy, anger, sorrow and joy have become as dull as water.

Although Arima Shizuya sighed in his heart, time was still passing by.

It hasn't been long either.

Sosuke Aizen, who arrived almost immediately behind Shizuya Arima, showed his signature generous smile after meeting the big guy's eyes.

Although it may be that the person involved is being sentimental, I always feel that there is some deep meaning in the other person's eyes.

Following closely behind were Tosen Kaname and Komamura Left Formation, who were walking side by side.

The blind guy who can't see and the big guy with a metal bucket on his head... the combination of these two people is extremely abstract just by looking at it.

It's just that considering that both parties seemed to have no mental pressure at all in the literal sense, the people watching naturally couldn't say much.

Soon, the two of them were already in position.

Nearly two-thirds of the captains have arrived. Looking around at this moment, you can see that there are still some absentees...

A crash and stiff footsteps interrupted Arima Shizuya's thoughts.

Nirvana walked into the room expressionlessly.

This guy's dress has begun to become more and more flamboyant. Should it be said that he has become the captain?

Compared to forty years ago, this guy's makeup has become exaggerated to the point where even Arima Shizuya was amazed.

——So fashionable, so trendy!

Quickly stepping into position, Nirvana Li was not standing in her usual position.

He moved directly to Arima Shizuya's side.

"Do you have anything new to reveal today?"

Such straightforward remarks made even Arima Shizuya show a subtle expression.

"Uh... yes, there is."

"Why don't you discuss it with me first?!"

A scolding tone.

It was known that this guy's expression began to become distorted, and now he even slapped his hand on the conference table as if he lost control of his emotions.

"Research and inventions within the Seireitei are logically under the jurisdiction of the Technology Development Bureau."

"This new type of research of yours directly bypasses our researchers and conducts this kind of behavior of killing first and reporting later. It is really inappropriate and dereliction of duty!"

"And it's such an interesting thing... No, in short, I will investigate your behavior in front of Captain Yamamoto later."

He raised his right hand flat and pointed his pale index finger at the tip of Arima Shizuya's nose.

Nirvana's tone was quite gloomy.

"Give me a longer memory, you brat."

"..."

It's hard to describe my current mood.

Although according to the regulations, it is indeed what the other party said.

But what about this feeling of avenging a private vendetta...

So should you think about what you say before you speak?

Before he could speak, the door behind him opened again.

A woman with a figure as slender as ever, the captain of the Second Division at the time, Zai Feng, quickly walked in - she didn't look away, as if she didn't hear the commotion here at all, and stood still in her position. at.

So far.

All members of the Gotei 13 except the captain are in place.

Chojiro put down his right hand that was playing with his mustache and backed away from the door at this moment.

It didn't take long.

Heavy and steady footsteps, accompanied by the sound of the cane tapping the ground, came from outside at this moment.

Boom!

Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto looks just like he did forty years ago.

Step into the upright position at this moment until you stand still.

"The captain has arrived, today's regular captain meeting..."

"start!"

…

Since it is a routine meeting, it naturally has its own theme.

As usual, everyone in Team 13 present conducted a brief report and outlook.

Basically the content is very different from the previous content...

After all, strictly speaking, the so-called spiritual bodies are the so-called 'immortal species'.

The so-called time itself is not a resource that needs to be particularly cherished.

Everyone is relatively insensitive to time, so many matters are usually adjusted on a quarterly basis after being handed over.

What stands out is that it is bloated and slow.

But there's nothing we can do about it.

After all, even if the feudal background setting is not taken into account, under the premise of peace, the resistance to changing things is huge.

In the midst of the ups and downs of my thoughts, a round of debriefing has come to an end.

The topics rotated and we soon came to the ‘highlight’ of the day.

"The debriefing is over, let's move on to the next stage."

"According to the prior agreement and preparation, the topic of this discussion was raised by the captain of the fifth division, Arima Shizuya."

"The title is..."

"Discussing content related to the new Kidō."

As Jiro Takuchojiro finished his speech, the eyes of everyone present were focused on Arima Shizuya.

The man with the radiant hair was not timid at all. At this moment, he took half a step forward and even had the leisure to say hello to the people around him.

"As Senior Quebu said, my topic today is about the content of ghost paths."

"Considering that someone already knew the relevant content in advance, and the matter itself is not complicated..."

"So I will briefly describe the more general things and skip them."

There is no stupid person here, so the answer is to keep the story short.

"As we all know, the rules for using Ghost Road are to extract spiritual power..."

"Then make it operate in a fixed form, and supplement it with prayers to fix it for the second time..."

"Finally, the ghost path as a whole appears in a relatively stable form, achieving the user's purpose."

The ghost ways so far, even the so-called forbidden arts, are nothing more than this.

This is also something like common sense, and it is naturally not surprising at this moment.

Everyone remained silent, waiting for Arima Shizuo to give something 'new'.

And the parties involved did not disappoint everyone’s wishes.

Said with a smile at this moment.

"And based on these theories."

"I currently have a complete set of spiritual power operation routes, related prayers, and the ghost path system with specific effects has been formed."

"Here, I want to share something with you."
