In the Human World, Karakura Town, inside an old-style mansion.
"Reiji, Reiji, please help me!"
Kasumioji Rurichiyo sat on a man's lap, looking pitifully at Aozaki Reiji.
The next second, Aozaki Reiji stroked her little head.
She immediately closed her mouth, and her cheeks instantly began to flush.
She seemed to be shy.
Sitting on Aozaki Reiji's lap.
She felt completely safe, not worried at all.
It seemed that the rebellious Gyōkaku Kumoi and his assassins were no longer so terrifying.
"Why didn't you go directly to the Gotei 13, and instead come to the Human World?"
Aozaki Reiji hugged the girl in his arms, a smile on his lips as he asked, "As long as you can see my teacher, he will definitely protect you."
"We do not doubt Captain-Commander Yamamoto's loyalty to the nobles…"
Kenryu paused, as if suddenly realizing he had said something wrong, and subconsciously glanced at Aozaki Reiji.
Seeing that his expression had not changed, Kenryu continued:
"But the situation was urgent at the time; Enryu and I couldn't even take the young lady out of the Kasumioji Family."
"In desperation, we could only use the Dangai to come to the Human World, barely escaping disaster."
Aozaki Reiji asked in confusion:
"It's understandable that Rurichiyo is young and can't contend with Kumoi."
"As hereditary retainers, compared to that Old Man Kumoi, you two are doing too poorly."
"How could you let him completely control the family's power? Don't you have any backup plans?"
Kenryu smiled bitterly, sighing helplessly:
"Reiji-sama, you don't know, although Enryu and I are hereditary retainers, Kumoi was deeply valued by the previous family head."
"After the previous family head passed away, Kumoi gained power and managed all family affairs on behalf of the young lady."
"Even if we two wanted to stop him, we were powerless."
Hearing this, Aozaki Reiji looked at Kasumioji Rurichiyo.
He had forgotten most of this plot, only having a rough and vague impression.
He had also asked about the Kasumioji Family's situation.
This girl always said everything was fine.
He even thought that Gyōkaku Kumoi had given up his ambition because he knew of his good relationship with Rurichiyo.
Now it seemed that this girl had been trying to save face in front of him and hadn't told the truth.
Perhaps Gyōkaku Kumoi rebelled so early precisely because he felt pressure from him.
Kasumioji Rurichiyo also seemed to realize her lie had been exposed, and her little face instantly turned even redder.
She just didn't want to lose face in front of Aozaki Reiji.
Who knew it would turn out like this?
In fact, she had long sensed that Gyōkaku Kumoi was somewhat off.
But after her parents passed away, the power of the family head was held in his hands.
She had almost no real power in her hands.
Additionally, don't assume that many of the younger peers in the family who are her age have good relationships with her.
But the older generation was not like that.
The family elders were all ambitious, wishing they could snatch a few more pieces of meat from the family head's line.
Outside retainers and clansmen of the same surname all eyed her covetously.
Ultimately, the only power she had belonged to Kenryu and Enryu, the two hereditary retainers who had accompanied her since childhood.
Rurichiyo was deep in thought.
Bang!
Bang!
Two crisp sounds rang out.
Kenryu and Enryu both knelt on the ground, heavily knocking their heads on the ground.
"Please, Reiji-sama, you must help Lady Rurichiyo."
"We are willing to work like oxen and horses to repay your great kindness."
Completely uninterested in them, Aozaki Reiji waved his hand to interrupt:
"I'm sorry, two grown men wanting to work like oxen and horses for me doesn't move me at all."
"Actually, you don't need to pay such a great price, and you don't even need me to act."
"As long as you get in touch with the Gotei 13, that little shrimp Gyōkaku Kumoi won't be able to cause any trouble."
Given the Old Man's personality.
Gyōkaku Kumoi doing such a thing is simply asking to be cut down!
The situation at that time should be 90-10.
Gyōkaku Kumoi would be killed nine times by the Old Man in one second.
"But…"
Kasumioji Rurichiyo looked up, her eyes red and teary.
She hugged Aozaki Reiji tightly and continued in a trembling, sobbing voice:
"But… we can't contact the Soul Society, Reiji!"
Aozaki Reiji: "…"
If you wanted my help, there was no need to be so dramatic!
Aozaki Reiji looked at Kurotsuchi Nemu, who stood beside him.
With a glance, Nemuri immediately understood.
She pulled out a token-shaped communicator from her soul reaper uniform and handed it to them.
Kenryu and Enryu were overjoyed and quickly bowed to receive it.
Aozaki Reiji didn't want to be dragged off by the Old Man to be a laborer.
So he quietly slipped away to the side, accompanying Nemuri to look at the clothes they had bought earlier, occasionally commenting and expressing his thoughts.
Aozaki Reiji looked for a long time and picked up an OL professional suit.
The top was a black blazer with a white shirt underneath, and the bottom was a simple, short, hip-hugging skirt.
"Wear this tonight."
Nemuri nodded calmly, as if everything was within expectations.
Just then, "Reiji, Reiji…"
A familiar voice sounded behind him, and a small hand tugged at Aozaki Reiji's sleeve.
"Can you take us back to the Soul Society?"
"Don't pretend to be pitiful; I still want to play in the Human World for a few more days."
Aozaki Reiji reached out and lightly poked Rurichiyo's forehead.
Even though he didn't use force, Rurichiyo acted as if she was in pain, covering her forehead.
Aozaki Reiji raised an eyebrow.
Still pretending?
Am I, Aozaki Reiji, the kind of person who would be charmed by a loli?
It's getting late.
Tonight, Nemuri, with her epic skin, is still waiting for me!
How can I have the leisure to care about your Kasumioji Family's mess?
"Reiji is too mean."
Kasumioji Rurichiyo pouted.
"Anyway, you've already contacted my teacher, so what's the rush? Why not stay in the Human World for a few more days?"
Aozaki Reiji said with a confused expression.
Kasumioji Rurichiyo was slightly stunned.
Oh, right, why didn't I think of that?
With the Captain-Commander acting, there's no need to worry at all.
It's rare to come out, to be able to stay by Reiji's side, and not have to worry about safety.
Why rush back?
"This young lady has decided, I'm not going back today."
Kasumioji Rurichiyo immediately convinced herself, crossing her arms and announcing.
Kenryu: "…"
Enryu: "…"
"Perfect, I often come to the Human World, and I'm very familiar with this place. I'll take you to have a good time for a few days."
Aozaki Reiji stroked Kasumioji Rurichiyo's golden long hair.
Visibly, her face flushed.
Aozaki Reiji looked at her cute little face, wanting to reach out and pinch it.
Before he could make another move, the Old Man's voice came from beside his ear:
"Eleventh Division Captain, Aozaki Reiji."
Aozaki Reiji: "…"
On the communicator screen, Yamamoto frowned and asked seriously:
"Eleventh Division Captain, Aozaki Reiji."
"Are you, as they say, with the Kasumioji Family Head?"
Aozaki Reiji turned his head and said calmly:
"Kasumioji Family Head? I haven't seen one!"
Who is standing next to you?!
Yamamoto's heart instantly stirred.
It was the feeling of blood rushing and heart racing!
Brat…
Calm down… calm down…
Shigekuni, you need to calm down!!
It's been so many years, you should be used to it by now!!!
Taking a deep breath, the Old Man's calm voice came again:
"Captain Reiji, can you confirm that the person beside you is indeed the Kasumioji Family Head, Lady Rurichiyo?"
Aozaki Reiji sighed:
"Yes, this is indeed the genuine Kasumioji Family Head, Kasumioji Rurichiyo."
"Very good."
Yamamoto nodded.
Everyone in the Seireitei knows that the Kasumioji Family Head spends money for his little disciple to be his friend, right?
They've been together for many years; if the little disciple says there's no problem, then of course there's no problem.
In matters of importance like this, Reiji wouldn't joke with him.
Yamamoto tapped his cane on the ground, his tone serious:
"In that case, Captain Reiji."
"I now order you to be the Kasumioji Family Head's guard, protecting Princess Rurichiyo's safety."
"Until she returns to the Soul Society!"
