Mazuru first thought of Kira Iziru, the vice-captain of the Third Division in the original book, but at the moment, it seems that this person has not even entered the Shinō Academy, so he can only be ruled out temporarily.
"Or, go to the Eighth Division to poach Nanao here?"
Ise Nanao, who did not know how many years after Yadoumaru Lisa left, finally became the vice-captain of the Eighth Division in the original.
More importantly, Mazuru has an excellent relationship with her.
After writing the resignation letter of Chikane Iba, Mazuru handed it over to the head-captain. After being reviewed and approved by the head-captain, she officially left the Third Division and started her retirement life
Afterwards, Mazuru went to the long-lost Eighth Division and found Nanao.
"Nanao, are you interested in being the vice-captain of Third Division?"
"What?!"
Nanao couldn't help being taken aback, she didn't expect Mazuru to ask such a question.
"Vice-captain Chikane-san has submitted her resignation letter to me a few days ago and now she has officially retired with the consent of the head-captain, so the position of the vice-captain of my team is vacant. If you want, I can transfer you to the Third Division. So do you want to come and be my vice-captain?"
Mazuru explained why.
Only then did Nanao suddenly realize, "Vice-captain Chikane-san has retired?"
Chikane Iba, of course she knows her, one of the few female vice-captains of Gotei 13 with extremely senior qualifications.
Unexpectedly, she would choose to retire.
But after thinking about it, it's not surprising, after all, the previous captain of the Third Division also retired.
"Can I really be the vice-captain?" Nanao thought of another question.
As a Shinigami, of course, she is not willing to live in the status quo. Ordinary Shinigami fight for the position of seat officer and the seat officer is to attack for the position of vice-captain. Ise Nanao is very self-aware. She has average talent. Kidō is outstanding, so she was accepted by the Eighth Division, so if there is a chance to become a vice-captain, she naturally doesn't want to let it go
But, is she capable of being the vice-captain?
"Nanao, don't underestimate yourself. I know your ability very well. Even without Zanpakuto, relying on Kidō's ability, you are enough to be a vice-captain. Moreover, Gotei 13 is undergoing major changes right now. Many teams' captains and vice-captains positions has been vacant so far and for the current Gotei 13, it is time to seize every opportunity to discover talents."
"Correspondingly, because the purpose is to give priority to filling vacancies, in addition to the captain, the appointment of the vice-captain, in terms of ability, is not as demanding as usual."
Mazuru explained to Nanao.
Nanao froze for a moment, then said softly to her: "I need to think about it."
Mazuru was about to say, "You can think about it as you please, just give me an answer as soon as possible", when suddenly, a soft voice sounded from the side.
"Brother Mazuru, Nanao-chan can't be the vice-captain of your Third Division..."
"Captain!"
Hearing this voice, Nanao immediately looked at the speaker.
Mazuru looked calm, turned his head, and said pointedly: "Isn't this Captain Shunsui's drinking time? Why did you come back?"
Kyoraku Shunsui supported the bamboo hat and said, "Brother Mazuru, as the captain of the Third Division, has come to our Eighth Division to poach a corner. If I don't come back, Nanao-chan will be poached by you."
As he spoke, he walked slowly in front of Mazuru and Nanao.
"Brother Mazuru said earlier that the position of vice-captain of the Third Division is vacant, but what I want to say is that the position of vice-captain of our Eighth Division is also vacant, so if brother Mazuru wants to poach someone, you came to the wrong place."
"Oh?"
Mazuru said in surprise, "But as far as I know, in the Eighth Division, Nanao is just an ordinary officer, but as long as she is willing to go to our Third Division, I can immediately promote her to the vice-captain position."
Shunsui was slightly taken aback and said helplessly, "Brother Mazuru is really self-willed enough, why do you want to rashly promote Nanao-chan to vice-captain and cause dissatisfaction among the existing officers in the team?"
"As long as I'm still the captain, they have to endure even if they are dissatisfied, just like the Captain Kiganjo of the Eleventh Division. His behavior and style have already caused dissatisfaction among many members of the Eleventh Division, but don't they just endure it silently? In the final analysis, it still comes from strength."
"This..." Shunsui shook his head, for a moment, he didn't know what to say.
Say Mazuru willful. But what he said was also true.
Kiganjo Kenpachi has a tyrannical temperament and frequently beats and scolds the Shinigami in the team, but those people still endure it. In the final analysis, it is because he is strong and he is the captain.
Although Gotei 13 does not exclude a Shinigami from a commoner background becoming the captain and ascending to a high position, in the final analysis, it still respects strength.
One doesn't know what Shunsui was thinking, after thinking about it for a while, he gave the real answer, "But, it's still not possible!"
"Although Nanao-chan staying in our Eighth Division, it may take a long time before she becomes the vice-captain, but I still won't give her up to your Third Division."
On the matter of Nanao, Shunsui became unexpectedly stubborn.
Mazuru looked directly at Shunsui, revealing a thoughtful expression.
Because he thought of some things that Nanao said when he and Nanao were reading the book and chatting.
Shunsui has an unusual relationship with her mother and visited her house when she was very young.
Combined with the fact that when Nanao graduated from Shinō, she obviously did not awaken Zanpakuto but was accepted in the Eighth Division with an exception. Obviously, Nanao has an unusual meaning for Shunsui.
"Since the Captain Shunsui insists on this, I can't say anything more." He said to Shunsui, and then looked at Nanao, "I still hope you think about it Nanao."
After speaking, Mazuru used Shunpo and left.
After Mazuru left, Nanao couldn't help but asked Shunsui, "Captain, why?"
Mazuru is not an outsider, why is the captain unwilling to let her go to the Third Division?
Shunsui looked complicated, he didn't know what he thought of, he looked at Nanao and said: "This is what your mother meant."
"Mother?"
Nanao was stunned, she didn't expect the captain to mention her dead mother.
When she came to the Eighth Division, the captain took away her Zanpakuto and also said it was her mother's idea.
What is the relationship between mother and captain?
Nanao couldn't help but guess.
Shunsui sighed, and didn't say a word to Nanao.
"Brother Mazuru is certainly good, but sometimes, if you get too close to him, it is actually not a good thing for him. Moreover, you can only be in the Eighth Division and by my side, that's the best protection."
