Nanao showed Serafall to all sorts of places within the Seireitei and even showed her a bit of what's outside of its walls.
Naturally, with Nanao herself going around leading an unknown face, people became curious about Serafall. The answer she gave them, however, was Serafall is a new member of the 1st Division that has great potential and was about to be promoted to the 3rd seat.
It was already afternoon and the duo was almost done with their tour. Right now, they are resting in a cafe that's mostly visited by female Shinigamis, "How was it?"
"Want my honest opinion?"
Nanao nodded.
"I'd rather stay in the Human World. While there are some efforts to create places like this, this is still just a giant military compound and its function is to nourish and strengthen the military. Not to mention, it seems that this place is also stuck in time and only with recent efforts have you allowed Human World technology to circulate."
"I agree on the first point but I totally disagree on the latter half." Nanao immediately replied, "While it'll be really convenient to incorporate Human World's technology into the Soul Society, the two worlds still operate with differing rules and it's not as easy to make something equivalent from the Human World. Our 12th Division is always working hard to achieve technological advances."
Serafall stared at her for a while and could see that she was genuinely upset. She then smiled and said, "Is that so? Then I apologize. I spoke my mind without knowing what was actually going on."
Seeing her actually back down easily, Nanao also lowered her head, "I'm also sorry for going off like that."
"Don't be. It's your every right to correct my wrong impression of your organization." Serafall then looked to her left, feeling a massive aura trying to hide fast approaching their direction, "Speaking of which, I have an appointment with the 12th Division. Should we go there now?"
"Ah, that's right. We should go now. Although they are pretty much open 24 hours a day, we should go when most of them are working."
Nanao stood up and was about to pay their tab when Serafall suddenly said, "But it looks like we'll have to postpone that."
"Hmm?" Nanao slightly tilted her head in confusion and noticed that Serafall wasn't actually looking at her but someone or something behind her. Nanao was about to turn around when she felt the very familiar Reiatsu suddenly flaring up behind her and she became akin to a creaking unoiled machine. Slowly turning around, she was able to confirm who was behind her and much to her horror, his chipped sword was already resting on his shoulder, "C-Captain Zaraki... What are you doing here?"
Nanao's effort of avoiding him at all costs went down the drain as she could already imagine what he was going to say next, 'He'll probably ignore me and directly ask Sitri-san if she's the woman in the rumors.'
"Are you the woman in the rumors?"
Nanao wanted to praise herself, but that was obviously not the time for it, "Captain Zaraki, the Captain Commander already asked you not to cause any trouble!"
The towering Kenpachi Zaraki finally gave a cursory glance to Nanao and said, "When was I causing trouble? I'm just asking if she's the woman in the rumors."
"That's a very rude thing to say, don't you think?" Serafall opened her mouth.
"Do you think I care?"
Serafall stared at him for a few seconds before nodding to herself, "You couldn't care less. I don't know who this woman in the rumors is, but I'm certainly a new face here. Does that answer your curiosity?"
"Not quite." A large grin suddenly crept up to Kenpachi's face and the horrified Nanao became terrified, "W-wait! Captain Zaraki!"
But it's already too late for Nanao to do anything. Though it's unknown if there's anything she could have done anything to prevent it in the first place.
Kenpachi suddenly disappeared and reappeared behind the 'unsuspecting' Serafall and swung his sword horizontally.
A strange blue circle blocked the path of his sword and momentarily stopped his motion. However, Kenpachi just added a bit of strength to his arm to cleave this circle in half and reach Serafall. To his surprise, Kenpachi's sword also went through his target without much resistance, 'Is that it?'
At that moment, Kenpachi felt a threat to his side and immediately raised his arm to block the leg that was flying toward him. However, he severely underestimated the strength behind that leg and was instantly sent flying out of the cafe, crashing into multiple walls and sending dust everywhere.
Serafall landed on her feet and turned to the speechless Nanao who was staring at her cleaved ice dummy, "Please find someone who can stop that guy."
"B-but I can't leave you behind!"
"Can you stop him then?" Serafall snapped her fingers and a large Magic Circle appeared on top of where Kenpachi landed. A second later, a giant ice spike emerged from it and Serafall dropped it on him. But before it could even land, the giant ice spike was cleaved in half and the shockwave that resulted from Kenpachi swinging his sword cleared all the surrounding dust, revealing his figure that was virtually unscathed.
Nanao was shocked at what was happening, but it's true that she can't do anything to stop them. Gritting her teeth, she turned around and said before using her Flash Step, "Please be safe."
"So she thinks I'm going to lose?" Serafall chuckled and turned her attention back to Kenpachi. Thanks to his reputation, the moment the people around saw him with his sword drawn, everyone have already run away so the area instantly became deserted, making a large space for them to duke it out, "Though if what I read about him is true, then I'm a very bad match up against him." Nevertheless, if it's just surviving, Serafall can easily do it.
While Serafall was thinking of ways to keep him at bay, Kenpachi started cracking his neck and said, "So you really are a strange woman. Someone told me you're very strong. Let me see it."
"I'm not really in the mood though?"
Kenpachi's grin grew larger as he suddenly dashed forward while shouting, "Then I'll create the mood for you!"
But he had to immediately stop and raise his arm on top of his head. The next instant, Serafall's leg came crashing down against him, sinking his feet into the pavement.
At his reaction, Serafall could only smile wryly, "You obviously can't properly feel my presence but here you are, reacting to everything I throw at you."
Kenpachi pushed her back against her by swinging his arm, "So you're going to do this whenever I lose sight of you?"
