In the end, Mazuru never addressed Shunsui as uncle and it was not only him who did not change his words but also Nanao who continued to address Shunsui as she always had before.
However, after learning about the relationship between Shunsui and herself, Nanao looked at Shunsui differently.
After her mother died, she was brought up by an old couple who claimed to be relatives of the Ise family. Although the old couple treated her very well, she was always curious about her mother because of her childhood memories.
Now, knowing the relationship between Shunsui and her own mother, some of the doubts in her heart have been eliminated. Of course, some doubts still remain.
Like the death of her mother.
Nanao could see that Shunsui seemed unwilling to mention that topic though he obviously knew the answer but Nanao firmly believed that one day she will be able to learn the truth from Shunsui.
Shunsui called Mazuru and Nanao to him, and told them about the story of Nanao's mother but telling the fate of the family did not changed the fact that Nanao and Mazuru were together.
Of course, there were some changes.
It was to let Nanao know that she has an uncle, and her uncle blessed her and Mazuru's relationship.
Because the last layer of paper was pierced, the relationship had been confirmed. And, during that period of time, she had been by Mazuru's side all the time. Of course, many shinigami in Seireitei were surprised that they were together. But the surprise didn't remained much long, after all, Mazuru had such a relationship with the vice-captain of the Eighth Division Ise Nanao, it was known from a long time ago, it's just they were not so upfront about the relationship before.
But still rather than focusing on these kind of gossip, for that time's Seireitei, it was more about to concentrate on the post-battle construction.
Well, after the battle, except for some turmoil caused by Ichigo and others at the beginning, in fact, there was no major loss. It was not so much to do for the reconstruction of Gotei 13 after the battle, but it was the Central 46 which really needed the post-battle reorganization.
But, because of the betrayal of the captains of the Fifth and Ninth Divisions, these two squads will inevitably fall into extreme grief, and whenever the shinigami of these two squads walked on the street, they will be pointed out by the shinigami of the other divisions.
For the Third Diviison, although the vice-captain Ichimaru Gin had also defected, the captain Kyo Mazuru was still there, so the backbone of their division was still there.
Though Tousen Kaname, the captain of the Ninth Division rebelled, but fortunately the vice-captain Hisagi Shuhei was a man with an extremely resolute personality. After Kaname rebelled, he immediately realized the responsibility that fell on his body, and immediately chose to stand up and work hard to keep the division from falling down and led the team members out of the grief they were trapped in.
So, in the end, the division with the worst situation was the Fifth Division.
Aizen Sosuke was the mastermind of the whole riot, and also the major culprit who slaughtered the Central 46. Vice-captain Hinamori Momo was just an unlucky pawn. She was played like a fiddle by Aizen for a long time, and after losing her value of use, he directly gave her a knife. Lying in the Fourth Division, the serious injury Aizen inflicted on her had still not healed, so naturally no one cared about the members of the Fifth Division.
Mazuru thought of the unlucky Fifth Division, but he didn't had the energy to care about the Fifth Division.
After hanging out with Nanao for quite a while, he went to the Tenth Division.
Compared with the Fifth Division, which didn't had a very deep connection with him, he rather went to the Tenth Division because there was still a sad person who needed him to comfort.
Matsumoto Rangiku!
If the defection of Kaname was a big blow to Hisagi, the vice-captain of the Ninth Division, and the defection of Aizen was a big blow to the vice-captain Momo, then the most uncomfortable person about the defection of Gin was not Mazuru, the captain of the Third Division but Rangiku, the childhood friend of Gin.
Of the Tenth Division, the captain Hitsugaya Toshiro along with his childhood friend Momo was currently lying in the Fourth Division's bed because of serious injuries caused by AIzen, and the vice-captain Rangiku was sitting on the floor of the captain's room with disheveled hair, she was blaming herself once again.
"If I could have discovered Gin's plans earlier and stopped him in advance, perhaps these things would not have happened..."
"Everyone was saying if, Yoruichi was saying if, Nanao was saying if and Rangiku, you too are also saying if…"
"In this world, there are so many ifs but once things have happened, they can no longer be changed."
A calm voice rang in Rangiku's ear.
Rangiku froze for a moment, raised his head, and saw Mazuru.
"Captain Mazuru…"
Rangiku forced herself to cheer up and greeted Mazuru.
Mazuru ignored Rangiku's greeting and continued, "Also, when it comes to stopping Gin, I, the captain, should be the one who should have stopped him the most."
"He was my vice-captain. He had been under my nose for a long time. Even I had not discovered his ambitions and the conspiracy he planned with Aizen, let alone you."
"Although you are his childhood friend, you are not his mother, it is impossible to watch him all the time, and he is not a child who will let his mother watch him all the time."
Mazuru talked eloquently and his voice reached Rangiku's ears.
Rangiku looked at Mazuru in a daze.
He seemed to be somewhat empathetic.
Mazuru came to Rangiku's side and sat down, "Of course, this is not something that can be compared with you. As the captain who failed to stop the rebellion of his own vice-captain, speaking about this kind of thing is quite shameful."
Rangiku finally recovered after hearing that, she whispered to Mazuru, "Captain Mazuru, you don't have to blame yourself, it's not your fault, it's all because that guy Gin is too cunning!"
"Right, that is it!"
"He's so cunning, like a fox!"
Rangiku seemed to have found someone to vent on, and began to condemn Gin in every possible way, as if Gin was the culprit, the evil of the world and the culprit of all the crimes.
After some scolding, Rangiku's mood seemed to improve a lot.
She looked at Mazuru, and found that there was no trace of self-blame or discomfort on Mazuru's face, but a faint smile, "Do you feel better?"
Rangiku was taken aback for a moment, and immediately understood what Mazuru came there for.
She was silent for a while, then said to Mazuru, "Captain Mazuru, thank you!"
Mazuru won another good person card from her.
