Mazuru went to the Eighth Division, of course it is not because of Shunsui's teasing during the captain's meeting, but because Mazuru had already made an appointment to read books together today.
To some extent, he is actually a very busy person.
As the captain of the Third Division, he occasionally handles a bit of team affairs (most of the team affairs are handed over to the tool man Gin), and from time to time, he goes to give special training to Sui Feng, and sometimes read books with Nanao to maintain the friendship with his former classmates. Friendship, after all, after the Lisa's incident, Nanao also lost a companion, so she is very lonely.
Mazuru, as her bosom friend, of course will not let Nanao stay alone, so he wants to comfort her lonely heart.
He was in Hueco Mundo for so long before, but now that he is back, he can't neglect Nanao.
In the Eighth Division team building, the sun is hanging quietly over the head.
Nanao had been waiting here for a long time quietly flipping through the books, after Mazuru arrived, he didn't try to break the silence, but came and sat down opposite to her.
Of course, Nanao also noticed Mazuru's arrival, but she didn't say anything.
She was looking at the book, and Mazuru was looking at her.
Obviously he didn't stay in Hueco Mundo for a very long time, but Mazuru could feel the changes in Nanao.
Well, she seems to have changed.
During their time in academy, Nanao looked like a little girl. Later, she graduated and joined Eighth Division. Over the years, she hasn't changed much. Mazuru is not surprised by this. Shinigami is different from ordinary people after all. Compared with ordinary people, their physical growth is too slow.
Hitsugaya Toshiro in the original book is the most obvious example, so many years have passed without any change in appearance.
But after returning from this trip to Hueco Mundo, Mazuru found that Nanao had grown up a lot.
Even when she was a little girl, Nanao wore a pair of glasses. Although she looked very cute, but being cute is actually useless. You can only look but not make a move, just like a meat in your mouth which can't be eaten.
Even though she can no longer be regarded as a little girl in terms of age, Mazuru still can't get off that feeling.
But it's different when you grow up (physically).
Mazuru sometimes looks forward to Nanao growing up and becoming the quiet girl with glasses like in the original book.
After discovering the changes in Nanao's body, Mazuru's eyes became brighter. He looked at Nanao carefully, wanting to find out what changes there were.
Nanao was actually used to Mazuru's eyes a long time ago, but the premise is that Mazuru don't use this kind of eyes that can't wait to see through people directly.
'You don't know that you make people feel very uncomfortable with this kind of eyes?'
Nanao cursed in the bottom of her heart.
Obviously she is wearing clothes, but under Mazuru's eyes, it looks like she is not wearing them, so, is she wearing them or not?
She thought that Mazuru would look away soon, but in the end, Mazuru always had this look.
*Bang!*
Nanao couldn't help but put down the book in her hand, "Mazuru!"
She looked a little annoyed, but judging from her tone of voice and the blush on her face, she was actually more shy than angry.
Mazuru slowly withdrew his gaze, without the slightest sign of nervousness, and he didn't know when he, who was a shy boy suddenly turned into a bully, and his face became thicker.
He looked at the book that Nanao slapped on the table.
"I haven't heard of this book before, have you started reading it recently?"
Although when reading books with Nanao, most of them are Nanao looking at the book, he looks at Nanao, but not all of his attention is on Nanao, he still knows what books Nanao is reading.
Mazuru glanced at the book cover on the table, well, the name is a bit weird.
"Seireitei Communication Monthly."
When Nanao heard Mazuru's words, she also looked at the books she slapped on the table, and explained, "This is a publication issued by our Eighth Division, and it has not been published for a long time."
"Oh?"
Mazuru was a little surprised.
"You also know that our Eighth Division is an intelligence team. Because of the convenience of work, Lisa, the former vice-captain, tried to use the advantages of the team to publish some publications..."
"Just because of the disappearance of the vice-captain, this publication has also been suspended for a long time. It was not until recently that it was republished."
When it comes to books, Nanao is not lacking in anyway.
She talked eloquently, telling the origin of the book in her hand.
It is also said that many shinigami have contributed to this publication, so the content of the publication is also diverse, including current affairs, drug experiments, Kidō theory... Of course, there is also a novel column.
Immediately, one thing was said.
"Our captain, he also serialized novels in this."
"Oh?" Mazuru became interested. Kyoraku Shunsui, a frivolous person, has such a literary side, which is really amazing. When he heard that Shunsui published romance novel, Mazuru became more and more interested.
He couldn't imagine that Shunsui, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, actually likes to write romance novels.
Is it because you have experienced more, so you are more experienced in such things? Just like Jiraiya, another great writer in the next-door Naruto world?
Mazuru immediately picked up the book in front of Nanao, followed Nanao's instructions, found the corresponding column, and read the novel written by Shunsui. Not to mention, the writing is quite good, um, it can't be said that the writing is good, it just has a strong literary style, which makes people look and feel that it is very high-end.
"Speaking of which, prodigal sons like Captain Kyoraku have serialized novels on it, Nanao you often read books, so have you never thought of writing one yourself?" Mazuru glanced at the love novel written by Shunsui, and then put down the book and asked Nanao.
Nanao blushed, she lowered her head, and whispered, "Actually, I have tried it..."
"Oh? What book?" Mazuru's eyes lit up, and he looked at Nanao.
Nanao quickly shook her head and said, "My writing is not very good, I can't compare with captain, so I won't tell you."
Mazuru could see that Nanao was embarrassed, so he didn't asked too much.
Naturally, Nanao didn't want to tell Mazuru that she actually wrote a book and published it when she and Mazuru were still classmates. These things seemed ordinary, but to her, they revealed a touch of warmth.
At least, when she was in Shinō, she could see Mazuru as long as she went to the library, instead of less contact as it is now.
