The reception lasted until around 11pm.

Because this opportunity was rare, both Kyoraku Shunsui and Ukitake Jushiro drank to the point of drunkenness.

Although Chojiro was a little embarrassed, he still maintained a good demeanor.

Is this the so-called British aristocratic mentality... It is said that the vice-captain of the Sparrow Department saw similar costumes during his activities in the world in the early years, and he yearned for them very much.

So much so that this guy prefers Western style in terms of food, drink and clothing.

But Mr. Shan is a very staunch conservative...and has insisted on the Japanese style for thousands of years.

To be able to stand up for oneself in front of such a rigid boss, it seems that the relationship between the two is indeed unusual.

In addition, it is said that he was the one who carried Captain Ukitake back in the end.

Genryusai and Maozhihua started whispering something on the way. Considering that both parties were old friends for thousands of years, there was naturally nothing to say in this situation.

It's just that Arima Shizuo doesn't quite understand - why do these two people act like normal people no matter how much they drink?

Is alcohol consumption directly proportional to age?

Thinking about it, Arima Shizuya let the Kyoraku spring water on his shoulders take advantage of the situation and burped.

This guy was so drunk that he was in a daze...even the hat on his head had fallen to his waist.

Halfway through, Arima Shizuya felt that the weight was becoming more and more exaggerated.

Taking advantage of the situation, he turned around to look, only to see that the other party had even leaked out of his mouth.

Just fell asleep like this? !

"Captain of the Kyōband?"

"...Huh? Oh, sorry."

The evening breeze blows, like waking up from a dream.

After wiping away the traces of embarrassment on his face and straightening his expression, Kyōraku Shunsui returned to his cynical expression.

"I haven't been this relaxed for a long time. It's really annoying~ I accidentally let my juniors see the bad side."

"No, no, regarding image issues, I think you should probably give up..."

"Ah haha, it seems to be the same."

Seeing Kyōraku Shunsui smiling and rubbing his stubble, Arima Shizuya pondered for a moment and then asked.

"Captain Kyōband, may I ask something?"

"Oh~ It's up to you."

"Why...why would you want to bring me to such a party?"

A subtle smile appeared on Kyoraku Shunsui's face.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling stressed?"

"No, just out of curiosity."

Although meeting Old Man Shan for the first time was indeed somewhat psychologically stressful.

But no matter what.

Arima Shizuya's purpose here is to have more contact with a few target people.

In terms of results, it can be regarded as "saving the country through curves".

Therefore, there is no dissatisfaction to speak of at this moment - and if I really want to say something, it may only be a little apologetic towards Kyoraku Shunsui.

After all, this can be regarded as taking advantage of the other party's kindness.

But having said that...if it were the prison master who came on stage, the other party should not have any psychological pressure in this regard.

I can only say that I am indeed relatively young in this regard, and I am still far from the level of Aizen's indifference.

Not enough practice.

"Just curious?"

Jingraku Shunsui pondered for a moment, as if weighing the pros and cons, and finally said with a chuckle.

"Actually, it's not something that can be put on the table. It's just a whim of the irresponsible captain like me."

"Wouldn't saying this just make people more curious?"

"Is that true? It seems that you can sense the charm of the middle-aged uncle to some extent~"

"No, it has nothing to do with this."

"Ahaha, it's so sad..."

Jokes aside.

Thoughts surged like a countercurrent, wrapping around his heart and making his expression deepen.

That... must have been a long time ago.

"Arima-kun, I am very lazy and have no responsibility."

"So for those more solemn instructions, I have always...always felt very troubled."

"I actually hate responsibility. It's not light, and once it's placed on my shoulders, it's hard to take it off."

"But everyone still likes to entrust these things to me, and then leave without leaving a trace, leaving me alone to worry."

"There's no turning back."

With emotion, Kyoraku Shunsui rubbed his nose, and the expression on his face became a little indescribably sad.

"Although I really don't want to do these things, but just thinking about those people's faces and expressions, I can't say no if I refuse..."

"So I also want to try to see if I can pass on this responsibility to others."

"For example... Arima-kun, someone like you."

Smiling lightly and patting Arima Shizuya's shoulder, Kyōraku Shunsui's smile was quite relaxed.

"Sooner or later, the important responsibilities of the Gotei will be handed over to people like you. With such an outstanding newcomer, my future work will be much easier."

Although it's not that I can't understand the other party's bad attitude.

But in the final analysis, why did Kyōraku Shunsui trust him so much?

Arima Jing doesn’t think that her personality charm has been exaggerated to the point that everyone loves her...

so.

"Why does the leader of the Beijing band trust me so much?"

The other party chuckled lightly and said slowly.

"Of course it's because of your relationship with Ise Nanao... I've said it before, right? That girl's temper is actually difficult to get along with, but you can get familiar with her and become friends with her."

"This patience and demeanor are also a reflection of your nature. I'm a lazy person, so I prefer to refer to other people's ideas."

In other words.

"Nanao is willing to believe you, so I naturally do the same."

I see...

If there is this reason, it is not difficult to understand.

Just thinking back to the various contents in the original work, Arima Shizuya's expression at this moment also became a little compassionate.

Yamamoto was beheaded, and Ukitake Jushiro also died.

He took on the post of captain of the Gotei 13 when he was in danger.

This man who is afraid of trouble and thinks about how to slack off all day, his nature is so hate work...

This is too ironic.

"Captain Kyoraku."

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

"If your work becomes more and more complicated and tedious, what would you think?"

"Ah~ Such an annoying topic..."

"After all, although you look a little decadent, everyone trusts Captain Kyoraku."

"Oh, Arima-kun sometimes says some nice words."

"Who do you think I am..."

After a moment of hesitation, Kyoraku Shunsui lowered his head.

There was a gleam of thought in his eyes, but he sighed as if he had given up.

He then smiled and said.

"If that crisis really comes, there's nothing we can do about it."

"No matter how unwilling we are, this is a responsibility we can't avoid... Adults should shoulder these things."

"But then again, Arima-kun will surely have learned a lot by then, right?"

Kyoraku Shunsui smiled and put his hand on the boy's shoulder.

"Then I'll trouble Arima-kun to help me."

Me?

As if he noticed the hesitation of the person involved, Kyoraku Shunsui turned his eyes away.

"Why, you don't want to?"

Arima Shizuka also pursed her lips and shook her head silently.

"No, then when the time comes..."

"Please take care of me again."
