"Tsunayashiro Tokinada, isn't he…"
Jushiro frowned slightly when he heard the name but soon remembered this character and immediately looked at Shunsui.
"It's him."
A look of disgust flashed in Shunsui's eyes, obviously he didn't like this person very much.
"I remember that this person seems to be a classmate of Captain Shunsui and Captain Jushiro and many years ago, he became the target of public criticism because of one incident."
Mazuru talked about a past incident, "He killed his wife who was also a Shinigami. If I remember correctly, his wife seems to be from Rukongai too."
"For the great noble Tsunayashiro family, residents from Rukongai cannot be compared with nobles after all even if they are shinigami. Even after Tsunayashiro Tokinada brutally killed her, there was no problem."
"Moreover if someone hadn't reported him, Central 46 wasn't going to punish him at all."
When saying this, Mazuru looked at Shunsui.
Feeling Mazuru's gaze, Shunsui said calmly, "That's right, I reported him."
"But, if I remember correctly, only his Zanpakuto have been taken away and he was put under house-arrest by the Tsunayashiro family." Shunsui said to Mazuru but he didn't understand that why Mazuru suddenly mentioned this disgusting incident about Tsunayashiro Tokinada.
"Doesn't Captain Shunsui think that the punishment is too light for him?"
"It would be fine if he was imprisoned in the Palace of Repentance or Central Great Underground Prison, but it was the Tsunayashiro family who put him under house-arrest. Tsunayashiro Tokinada is a member of the Tsunayashiro family. After he killed his wife, Tsunayashiro family did not respond to it at all. It can be seen that Tsunayashiro family thought that there was nothing wrong in that matter. Even if the verdict of 'imprisonment' was passed by Central 46 and the Tsunayashiro family 'imprisoned' him, it was only sophistry. That did not brought any real punishment to Tsunayashiro Tokinada at all."
Shunsui frowned.
Of course he knows that it was bullshit about the Tsunayashiro family imprisoning Tokinada, but Central 46 has already passed the judgment and as a shinigami, he cannot disobey the orders of Central 46, so he can only choose to submit.
"Brother Mazuru thinks Central 46's penalty is unfair?" Shunsui quietly added another remark.
Jushiro sighed. Fortunately, there are only three of them here. If outsiders hear this, he doesn't know what kind of impact it will bring.
Mazuru shook his head and said: "I don't think so, the Central 46 passed this kind of judgement, they must have their reasons."
The so-called truth is simply that Central 46, like the Tsunayashiro family, thinks that common people are untouchables, their lives are worthless, so it doesn't matter whether they live or die.
"I just feel that what Tsunayashiro Tokinada did is very similar to the situation of the Kuchiki family."
"Back when Kuchiki Koga killed his colleagues, Tsunayashiro Tokinada also killed his fellow shinigami. Similarly, Byakuya is about to marry a commoner woman from Rukongai, and the wife killed by Tsunayashiro Tokinada was from Rukongai too."
"Just because Byakuya is the future heir of the Kuchiki family and Tsunayashiro Tokinada is just a member of the branch house of the Tsunayashiro family, can they treat these two things so differently?"
After Mazuru's narration, Shunsui and Jushiro also reacted.
That's right, the reason why the Tsunayashiro family accused the Kuchiki family was untenable from the very beginning, even if Tsunayashiro Tokinada is a member of the branch house of the Tsunayashiro family, as long as he still has the surname Tsunayashiro, Tsunayashiro family has no right or reason to accuse others, after all, they themselves are not much better.
Or is it that the Tsunayashiro family thinks that the Kuchiki family, as a noble like them, must kill the commoner woman of Rukongai?
In this case, it is obviously impossible to say it on the bright side.
In the Soul Society, although the nobles are high above the rest, there are not a few shinigami born as commoners. Even if the Tsunayashiro family is one of the great nobles, it is impossible to offend all the commoner shinigamis.
The reason why Tokinada's incident didn't cause too much trouble at the beginning was because the deceased was Tokinada's wife, and the second was because the Tsunayashiro family suppressed the matter, so no one took the risk, the risk of offending the Tsunayashiro family, to seek justice for a dead shinigami, so everyone let it go.
"Captain Shunsui, I want to ask you to do me a favor."
"Oh? What's the matter?" Shunsui was curious.
"I heard that there is a publication called Seireitei Communication Monthly under the Eighth Division, which covers a wide range of content and usually publishes content about current affairs. It also has a huge number of shinigami consumers."
Mazuru asked Shunsui.
Shunsui understood what Mazuru meant and said helplessly, "Brother Mazuru really thought hard for his disciple."
"I just think that it's better to provide him with some practical help than to simply comfort him." Mazuru said. This was a response to Shunsui's previous joke.
Shunsui didn't know what to think, and finally said, "Since it's your request, how can I deny."
Some words, he did not say out loud.
That is, he is also dissatisfied with Tokinada, who as a criminal is still at large. He was just 'imprisoned' by Tsunayashiro family. After all, it was the punishment ordered by Central 46, so Shunsui naturally can't do anything.
If he can use this incident and drag Tokinada into the water, he will also be very happy.
A few days after the little get-together between Mazuru, Shunsui and Jushiro.
At Kuchiki's house, Mazuru met the Rukongai civilian woman who was in the center of the storm.
"Sensei, she is Hisana."
Byakuya introduced her to Mazuru. He looked calm like the rumors outside seems to have no effect on him, but Mazuru could see a trace of worry from Hisana's face. It seems that, after all, the pressure is still there, but Byakuya has made up his mind, no matter what people talk about him outside, he will marry Hisana.
"Hisana-san, hello, I am Kyo Mazuru. I can barely be regarded as half-teacher of Byakuya. If you don't mind, you can also follow Byakuya and call me sensei." Mazuru greeted Hisana with a smile.
After Hisana heard Mazuru's words, she couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. It seems that Byakuya's sensei recognized her.
Since coming to Kuchiki's house, Byakuya's grandfather Kuchiki Ginrei and father Kuchiki Soujun have treated her very well, but she is not stupid. Hearing the words from outside, she also understands the pressure she has brought to the Kuchiki house.
Now that there is one more person who recognizes her, and this person is a captain of Gotei 13, the tension in her heart also dissipated a little and she immediately responded to Mazuru, "…Sensei."
Mazuru nodded and then said to Byakuya, "I've heard about those things outside, but you don't have to worry too much, after waiting for a while, there might be a turning point."
