Nanao came to Mazuru's place late at night, which actually was a decision made by her after some deep thinking.
Recently, a lot of things happened in Soul Society, which made her think a lot.
Before when she realized the threat posed by Rangiku, she made up her mind and expressed her emotions more proactively to Mazuru, which made her relationship with Mazuru a step further.
But she was a rather conservative person. Even if her relationship with Mazuru took a step further, she never crossed any kind of lines. However, as time went by, she discovered that there were more and more enemies lurking in the dark waiting for an opportunity.
Mazuru often goes to and from Fourth Division to communicate with Captain Unohana.
Unohana was a senior, and she and Mazuru naturally cannot have that kind of relationship, so it can barely be explained by the fact that Mazuru and Unohana's meetups were for learning Kaidō.
So... what about Rangiku?
Over the years, she had often came to visit the Third Division.
At first, Nanao could explain it by the fact that Rangiku and Gin were friends, and so she used to come to the Third Division to meetup with Gin, but later, she realized that was not entirely the case, and the threat of Rangiku had never been lifted.
And, now she also found out that besides Rangiku, Sui Feng, the captain of the Second Division, was also a huge threat to her. In addition, Yoruichi, the former captain of the Second Division who had a close relationship with Mazuru, was also back.
With Aizen's defection, Yoruichi's defection from the Soul Society had a new conclusion, and the other party can return to the Soul Society at any time.
"I know that the matter of Gin made you feel really bad."
Nanao looked at Mazuru and said with a gentle voice.
"I..."
Mazuru was just about to explain something.
But suddenly, Nanao hugged him.
Compared to Mazuru, Nanao could be considered petite. She was wearing the Shihakushō, and due to her now stuck closely with Mazuru made Mazuru feel a strange sensation.
At the same time, Nanao's deep voice reached Mazuru's ears.
"I can see that you are very sad. In the past, you would not be diligent enough handling team affairs at this time. What kind of person are you, I know very well. It was Gin's betrayal that made you feel depressed, so you can only choose to deal with team affairs to numb yourself, right?"
"If I had known that Gin's betrayal would make you so uncomfortable, I would have come from the Eighth Division to the Third Division to become your vice-captain no matter what, instead of caring about Captain Shunsui opinion."
Mazuru wanted to explain a few words at first.
But feeling the temperature of Nanao's body, and hearing Nanao's words, he finally chose to give up struggling, and agree to whatever she deduced about him.
Nanao tightened her arms around Mazuru and continued to murmur.
The woman's deep voice echoed in Mazuru's ears, accompanied by a faint fragrance. Mazuru noticed that Nanao seemed to have changed her clothes before coming here.
At the beginning, it was Nanao holding Mazuru in her arms and whispering in his ears. In short, they were words to comfort Mazuru. As the conversation progressed, a strange aura gradually appeared in the air. After that, after years of emotional accumulation had an outburst and everything became a matter of course.
Nanao voice still sounded but this time rather than deep and comforting, it was sensual.
Outside the house, under the dim moonlight, the Soul Society was quiet, but only the Seireitei had some shinigamis patrolling all night. After all, the movement caused by the Aizen's defection was really not small, and no one knew whether there were still people in the Seireitei who could have ulterior motives that might cause disturbance to the peace of Seireitei. There might still be Aizen's remnants that stayed back, or people Aizen might have left behind on purpose, so the patrols in Seireitei had to be stepped up, just in case of any uncertainty.
Inside the house, the voices of a man and woman echoed until late at night, before the curtain was gradually drawn down.
The next day.
In the early morning, Mazuru glanced at Nanao beside him, and showed a slight smile.
He had to say that shinigami's physique was really not comparable to ordinary people.
At least, the speed of recovery from this injury could not be compared by the ordinary people, but psychologically, it was still a little embarrassing.
However, thinking of what happened last night, Nanao looked at Mazuru again, mustered up her courage again, and hugged him gently.
Then, the two of them stayed together like that for a while.
Since last night, Nanao has been staying in the Third Division. When she left the Third Division and returned to the Eighth Division, the captain, Kyoraku Shunsui was already waiting for her in the captain's room.
The captain's room was filled with a strong smell of wine, and there were several wine jugs beside Shunsui. Last night, even he didn't know how much wine he drank. He sat on the ground casually, as if he was waiting there for something. A whole night was also spent as a whole night full of drinking.
Nanao frowned, and said to Shunsui with some dissatisfaction, "Captain, are you drinking in the captain's room again?"
Regarding Shunsui's frivolousness, Nanao didn't know how many times she said to him about various things, and the most dissatisfied thing among them was probably Shunsui drinking in the captain's room.
After she became the vice-captain of the Eighth Division, she often mentioned this to Shunsui.
Later Shunsui also changed that habit.
Nanao didn't expect that after she left last night, Shunsui would not only secretly drank in the captain's room again, but drink so much that the whole place reeks of alcohol.
"Nanao-chan, you're back!"
After seeing Nanao, although Shunsui showed a hint of drunkenness on his face, but his consciousness was still very clear. He first greeted Nanao, and then sighed, "Nanao-chan has grown up."
"In the blink of an eye, so many years have passed. I still remember how you were when you were born. You were such a small one and before you knew it, you are already this big."
Nanao originally wanted to continue reprimanding Shunsui, but after she heard Shunsui's sudden words, she couldn't help being taken aback.
She didn't expect that Shunsui would suddenly mention something about her childhood.
When she was young, she had seen Shunsui go to her house, so she knew that Shunsui had some kind of relationship with her mother, but she never thought that Shunsui actually saw her when she was just born.
"Captain…"
Just as Nanao wanted to open her mouth and ask him about her childhood.
There was an unprecedented seriousness on Shunsui's face.
"Call brother Mazuru to me sometime, and I will tell you everything and answer all your answers in front of both of you."
"I know, you should also want to know about your past, about your mother, and what is the relationship between your mother and me."
Nanao's expression also became serious after hearing Shunsui's words.
