And just like that, Shin became the Captain of the 2nd Division. He didn’t object; being a Captain actually offered more freedom.

If there was actual work to be done, he could just dump it on his Vice-Captain. He wondered which unlucky soul would get that job.

“So, Shin, how does it feel being captain of the 2nd Division?”

As they walked out of the meeting hall, Shunsui Kyōraku asked. Beside him walked Jūshirō Ukitake, the Captain of the 13th Division.

Ukitake had also been promoted recently; the previous Captain of the 13th Division had died in Hueco Mundo, leaving the position open for him.

“I don’t feel much of anything,” Shin replied flatly. It was just a title.

Kyōraku was speechless. Shin seemed genuinely indifferent. He couldn’t tell if Shin was acting cool or if he truly didn’t care.

Kyōraku remembered how excited he was when he first became a Captain. Compared to Shin, he felt his own composure was lacking.

“Given Shin’s strength, isn’t it normal for him to become a Captain?” Unohana Retsu walked over and interjected.

Seeing Unohana, Kyōraku forced a smile.

“Well, we won’t disturb you two. Shin, let’s go out for drinks and some… company sometime,” Kyōraku said with a wink.

The moment the words left his mouth, Kyōraku felt a terrifying killing intent lock onto him. He shivered and slowly turned his head to look at Unohana.

The murderous aura was radiating directly from her.

’Not good. This is terrifying. I need to bail.’

“Ukitake, didn’t you say you needed my help with something? Let’s go,” Kyōraku said, grabbing Ukitake.

Ukitake shook his head slightly. Kyōraku really had a death wish, talking about chasing women in front of Unohana Retsu.

He was lucky he hadn’t been cut down on the spot.

“Goodbye, Captain Unohana, Captain Shin.” Ukitake bid farewell and hurried away with Kyōraku. He noticed Unohana’s gaze on him wasn’t exactly friendly either. He was definitely guilty by association thanks to Kyōraku. There was no helping it—retreat was the only option.

“Shin, I think you should limit your contact with them. Those two don’t seem like good influences—” Unohana said to Shin.

Shin was a bit speechless. Kyōraku might be a bad influence, but poor Ukitake had been unfairly labeled a bad guy just for standing there.

“Don’t worry, I won’t go running off to chase women,” Shin assured her. He could sense Unohana’s feelings for him.

’As expected, there really is no such thing as pure friendship between men and women,’

Shin lamented internally.

However, thinking back to Kyōraku’s invitation to go drinking and enjoy the nightlife… Shin was actually curious.

Not that he wanted to do anything scandalous, of course.

He just wanted to… broaden his horizons.

Maybe when he had some free time, he could find Kyōraku. That guy was definitely a seasoned veteran of the entertainment districts; he’d know the best spots.

“I feel like you’re thinking about something inappropriate,” Unohana said, staring at him.

Shin started. Had she read his mind? A woman’s intuition was truly terrifying.

“I’ll head back to the 2nd Division to arrange some things. I’ll visit the 4th Division when I have time.”

Shin bid farewell to Unohana first. The 2nd Division still didn’t have a suitable Vice-Captain, so he needed to find one.

He had intended to let Old Man Yamamoto arrange it, but the Head Captain hadn’t found a suitable candidate yet either.

Handling the affairs of the 2nd Division was easy enough for Shin. There were no major crises.

Inside the Seireitei, unless a massive disaster struck, the 2nd Division’s work was relatively light—mostly patrols.

So, Shin settled into a leisurely life. Every day involved assigning a few missions, then heading to the 4th Division barracks to hang out, or entering the System Space to visit Kushina, Hancock, and the others.

———————————

Time flew by. Decades passed in the blink of an eye. It was a long time, but Shin lived comfortably.

He didn’t feel bored, spending his free time in the System Space accompanying the girls.

“Is Shin in?”

While Shin was processing some paperwork in the squad barracks, Shihōin Kiyotaka’s voice came from outside.

“Oh? if it isn’t Captain Shihōin. What brings you here?” Shin asked with a smile.

Shihōin Kiyotaka looked frail. Ever since his injury in Hueco Mundo, he had never fully recovered.

“Don’t call me Captain. I’m here to ask for a favor…” Kiyotaka said.

Shin noticed that Kiyotaka wasn’t alone. Hiding behind him was a small child.

Short purple hair, dark skin, looking at Shin with curious golden eyes.

“This is?” Shin looked at the little girl. He already had a guess.

This little girl had to be Yoruichi Shihōin.

“She is my granddaughter, Yoruichi Shihōin,” Kiyotaka introduced her, then stated his purpose.

“Actually, I wanted to ask you to train her. Please, Shin.” Kiyotaka bowed solemnly.

“Uh, you want me to train her?” Shin looked at Kiyotaka, puzzled. Couldn’t the Shihōin family train her themselves?

“Alright.” Shin nodded and agreed. Training Yoruichi was no problem.

Kiyotaka had helped him in the past, and he had voluntarily given up the Captain’s seat to Shin.

“Yoruichi, remember to listen to him,” Kiyotaka said to his granddaughter.

“Okay, Grandpa. I’ll be good,” Yoruichi said, putting on a facade of obedience.

Shin looked at her. Although she was acting well-behaved now, Shin knew Yoruichi was anything but a docile child. She was a wild cat.

“By the way, this contains the techniques for the Shihōin family’s Shunkō. Please teach this to Yoruichi as well,” Kiyotaka said, handing Shin a book.

“I trust you won’t spread this to outsiders.”

This time, Shin was genuinely stunned. He hadn’t expected Kiyotaka to hand over the Shihōin family’s secret technique so easily.

Shin wasn’t an idiot; he instantly realized the deeper meaning behind Kiyotaka’s actions. After a moment of thought, he understood.

“Don’t worry, Kiyotaka-san. I will train Yoruichi well,” Shin said seriously.

In Shin’s perception, Shihōin Kiyotaka’s life force was fading rapidly. If he wasn’t mistaken, Kiyotaka didn’t have much time left.

Considering the current state of the Shihōin family—Kiyotaka’s son lacked talent. Once Kiyotaka was gone, the family would lose its pillar.

He was entrusting the future of his house—Yoruichi—to Shin.
