The moment Unohana entered the tavern, the Reiatsu (Spiritual Pressure) emanating from her body disappeared instantly, as if nothing had happened just now. People with slightly stronger perception were so shocked by the Reiatsu (Spiritual Pressure) that they dared not move at all.
When those arrogant and domineering bandits saw Unohana, their faces turned pale.
"Kenpachi, Unohana Yachiryu!"
Before, Unohana was a lawless person in Rukongai. In order to hone her Zanjutsu (Swordsmanship) and become invincible, she killed countless people. No matter how evil a person was, they would have to avoid her when they saw her.
Now that she has joined the Gotei 13, her temper has not only not calmed down but has become even worse. She takes a group of subordinates to kill people in Rukongai day and night, killing all kinds of bandits, horse thieves, and even gangsters who collect protection fees. These gangsters are nowhere to be found in recent days, so the team members can only take a day off.
Otherwise, why do you think the security in Rukongai around here is so good?
Unohana just glanced at the man in the bamboo hat, then walked slowly towards the second floor. The bandits were so scared that they made way for her.
"Yamabuki, so you are here! I just heard from the team members that you had to go out for something, and I was worried about you, so I came to see you on the way." Unohana said with a smile.
How could Yamabuki not know that Unohana was here to catch him?
"Clan leader Tsunayashiro is here too!" Unohana looked at Tsunayashiro Fuka with a smile, and Tsunayashiro Fuka nodded with cold sweat on his forehead.
"Why did you come to Rukongai to drink? Can't the huge Seireitei accommodate the two of you?" Although Unohana's tone was still gentle, Yamabuki always felt that there was a vague killing intent in it.
"I just wanted to bring Chiyo out to experience the hardships of the people. After all, children who grew up in noble families have never seen what life is like for ordinary people. And she is curious and wants to come out and take a look. I am planning to go back now. If you don't believe me, ask them." Yamabuki said, pointing at the staff in the hotel.
"Is that so? Then let's go home together!" Unohana said with a smile on her face. Yamabuki always felt that this was a smile with a knife hidden in it. I just looked at the beautiful girl and didn't do anything bad? Why do I always feel like I'm going to the execution ground?
Just when the two of them were about to go out, the man in the bamboo hat suddenly called out to Yamabuki.
"That pot of wine just now was given to me by you, right? Can I understand that you can help me settle the bill? After all, I don't have much money on me." The man in the bamboo hat said with a smile.
"Of course." Although Yamabuki didn't know who the other party was, he treated her to the meal just because he was willing to help a dancer he didn't even know.
"That's great! Give me twenty more rice balls! I'll eat them on the way," said the man in the bamboo hat.
The tavern owner looked at Yamabuki with some embarrassment and said, Aren't you bullying an honest man?
Yamabuki just smiled slightly and didn't care. In the end, it was Tsunayashiro Fuuka who spent the money.
After a while, the hotel owner prepared twenty rice balls.
The man in the bamboo hat took the rice ball and left in style. When he reached the door, he turned to the young lady who poured him wine and said, "Next time I come to drink, how about you pour me some wine? Of course, that will have to wait until I have money."
Then he walked away.
After leaving the tavern, the man in the bamboo hat came to a dilapidated little temple. He didn't know what god was worshipped in the temple.
"Everyone come out, Uncle has brought you some delicious food!" the man in the bamboo hat said to the small temple. A dozen children ran out of the temple and circled around the man in the bamboo hat. The man in the bamboo hat distributed rice balls to these children.
"Uncle, don't you want to eat?" asked a little girl.
"I just came back from the best tavern. Someone treated me to a good drink, and I'm already full." The man in the bamboo hat smiled and reached out to touch the girl's head.
The Real world and the Soul Society are related. After a person dies, his or her soul will enter the Soul Society, and these people carry their memories of their previous life. Some people will look for their families, while others will reestablish their families. In short, they can barely survive in this world.
However, the Real world is in the midst of war. There are not only many lonely souls who died in battle, but also many souls of children. Most of them are orphans, helpless and hopeless. Although the Reiatsu (Spiritual Pressure) density in Soul Society is much higher than that in the Real world and is consumed more slowly, water and food are still needed to sustain life.
I don't know when it started, but the man in the bamboo hat took on the responsibility of taking care of the souls of these children.
More and more children came, and finally there were about ten or twenty of them gathered around him.
However, the man in the bamboo hat was a playboy himself. He had no stable job and did not want to rob. He had no choice but to take these children with him and live with them.
"Or if all else fails, I might as well find a job!" the man in the bamboo hat thought silently.
"How sweet!" a child suddenly said happily.
Sweet? Shouldn't rice balls be salty? How can they be sweet?
The man in the bamboo hat looked back and saw a woman distributing snacks in her hand to the children. The children were all smiling happily.
But when the man in the bamboo hat saw this woman, all the hairs on his body stood up.
"Kenpachi, Unohana Yachiryu! Why are you here? Stay away from these kids!" The man in the bamboo hat tightly grasped the Zanpakutō at his waist.
He had heard that this woman was a complete lunatic. Once she started fighting, she would not care about anything else and would kill even a child with her sword.
"Don't be so nervous. It would be too easy for the two of us to deal with you." A young man's voice came from behind the man in the bamboo hat.
He had heard this voice before. It was the young man who had invited him to drink at the tavern just now.
"Being able to be with Unohana Yachiru, it seems that your identity is not ordinary! Is there something you want to talk to me about?" asked the man in the bamboo hat.
Yamabuki looked at the somewhat wary man in front of him and said with a smile, "It's not a big deal, just discussing the future of these children. I know you are a good person, but you can't always support them, right? The growth of souls in Soul Society is very slow, and it will take at least a hundred years for these children to grow up..."
"Is that what you want to say?" asked the man in the bamboo hat.
"No, what I mean is, if you want to raise these children, don't you need a proper job? Why don't you try to interview with my Gotei 13? The salary is generous, the benefits are high, and there is paid annual leave and insurance. I can also apply to the higher authorities to help these children. I can send the qualified children to Shin'o Academy, and I can also teach the less qualified children to read and write. At least they can get a job to support themselves in the future. How about it? Are you tempted?"
