5th Division.
Compared to the noise outside, this place was as calm as ever.
The separate courtyard belonging to the captain was different from the style of other teams. It was covered with green lawn and vegetation. The rockery was surrounded by an artificial stream. As the water fell into a bamboo tube, it fell on a green stone after it was full and made a crisp and pleasant sound.
Such a comfortable and elegant environment was hard to imagine that this was the residence of the captain.
With the crisp sound of a bamboo cylinder hitting a stone, a figure hurried in and broke the rare peace.
"Lord Aizen, it seems that there is a fight outside."
Under the slightly tender and delicate voice, it is a girl who is not yet an adult.
"Well, no need to care."
A brown-haired man was sitting on the ground with his back to the ground, writing something on a wooden table.
"Captain Aizen, the strength of those invader seems to be very strong." The girl bit her lips, and there was a touch of expectation in her eyes. She asked carefully, "The vice captains of other teams have been dispatched. Can I go with them?"
The brown-haired man paused and slowly turned his head.
The familiar gentle smile, as well as the black framed eyes, is the Captain of 5th Division, Aizen.
"It will be very dangerous to go out now."
Aizen eyes are gentle like water, containing a touch of worry, whispered: "Kiyosumi, although you have mastered Shikai, you have never been in contact with battle. Let's wait for a while. I will take you to experience a few times."
Kiyosumi, full name Chen Kiyosumi.
The original name is a single word, Chen.
The two words on the back came from Aizen for her, meaning as clear as water and clear as mirror.
This was the super genius he had gotten from Tōshirō Hitsugaya with the exchange of Hinamori Momo.
The first graduate of the Shino Academy of Spiritual Art, and even the proud student of the Aoyama Clan.
In less than a year,
Not only did she get full marks for the Four Great Foundations of Sword and Fist, she even asked zanpakuto's name in advance. With the momentum of a fifth-class Spiritual Power, she surpassed the record of Tōshirō Hitsugaya.
Although her eyes were naturally unable to see things, they had amazing perception.
What Aizen appreciated most about her was not how smart the child was, but that she could ignore the hypnosis of Kyōka Suigetsu.
After a while, Aizen liked to develop old problems.
Just as he left Ichimaru Gin with him before, he also wanted to see how far the child could go.
"I can take care of myself. Please believe me, Lord Aizen." Chen bit her lips and seemed to be somewhat unwilling. "And don't you often tell me that young eagles always need to spread their wings bravely to soar in the sky?"
"You actually blocked me with my words."
Aizen sighed, and there was a helpless color in his eyes: "I just don't want you to be in danger, but since this is your request, then as your captain, I can only say it out of respect, be careful."
"Really? Really ?!"
Chen raised her head and showed a surprised expression: "Lord Aizen, do you really agree to let me attack with the other vice-captains?"
"Since it is your request, how can I bear to refuse?"
Aizen showed a doting smile. In the brown eyes under the frame, there were ripples like water. He raised his hand and touched the girl's hair and whispered, "But remember, when you meet an enemy, you must not be soft. Everything is to protect yourself, understand?"
"Well, I know."
Chen slightly narrowed her eyes, like a docile kitten lowering her head.
She had never felt the warmth of her family when she was alive, but the world after death had everything she had hoped for, and the gentle big brother figure in front of her, meticulous care, and considerate heart, filled up a gap in the depths of her heart.
Aizen, can be said to be an important person ranked third in her heart.
The important person who was ranked second was naturally the teacher of the Spiritual Arts Academy, the Aoyama Clan. It was this old man who brought her out of the slums, and later on, he taught her everything, giving her the opportunity to change her fate.
As for the person ranked first, she did not know who it was.
Although the memories of her life were very vague, she still remembered the gentle rain of sweet rain. The pure light that seemed to purify her body and mind dragged her out of the rotten corpse and brought this bright world.
After becoming death god, she knew that it was the 'soul burial', a move that led the soul to Soul Society.
So she had always had a wish, and that was to find the death god who had buried her at the time, and say thank you to him.
Chen's desire to become stronger was based on this wish.
It was very small, but it was very pure.
"Go, Kiyosumi."
There was a strange look in Aizen's eyes, and his voice was still gentle: "I will wait here for you to come back. I hope that I can see you, a person who has been tempered and transformed."
"Yes, Lord Aizen."
Chen smiled slightly, got up and walked out of the courtyard with a light footstep.
Looking at the back of the girl leaving, Aizen was silent for a long time, and his soft eyes were full of mockery. He turned to a place in the courtyard where there was no one, and slowly said, "Gin, when did you like this child's trick?"
"Oh, I was actually found."
The originally empty corner of the courtyard suddenly showed Ichimaru Gin figure, only to see him looking at Aizen with a smile, showing a half helpless and half laughing expression, spreading his hands and said, "I was going to come out directly, but I saw Captain Aizen had a guest, so I waited for a while."
"Oh, I let you wait for a long time."
Aizen's smile did not decrease, and he said lightly, "Why did you come to me at this time?"
"Actually, it's fine. After all, I'm going to kill you again later, so I have to come and have a look?" Gin Ichimaru put his hands in his sleeves, and said with a smile, "It's just that I didn't expect to meet Captain Aizen's wicked hobby again."
"This is not a bad hobby, Gin."
The eyes under Aizen lens reflected an unknown light: "I just like to cultivate some interesting children. I watched them grow up, just like I chose to adopt you."
"Tsk ---That girl is really pitiful."
Ichimaru Gin squinted his eyes and smiled: "Unfortunately, Hinamori Momo has not been resurrected. Otherwise, when the two of them are together, maybe they will talk more. After all, they have been hurt by their Lord Aizen."
"Gin."
Aizen's smile on his face did not fade, and he was reading a book. His eyes were half closed and there was a cold light: "You seem to be a little extra today."
"It's just a feeling."
Ichimaru Gin saw this and did not choose to continue to provoke, changing the topic: "I don't know what kind of death Captain Aizen plans to prepare for himself?"
Aizen took a deep look at him and did not pursue the matter. He slowly said, "Aren't those adventures the best choice?"
"Oh?" Ichimaru Gin eyes slightly opened: "It seems that Captain Aizen has chosen."
"An interesting man."
Aizen's lips had a smile and pushed the black-rimmed glasses: "Just by the way, you can test his weapon volume and see if it is worth the attention of Lord Spirit King."
