Death: No cheats, take refuge in Aizen

Chapter 4 4. Two years of peace

"So, do you think Uozhihua Lie suspects you?"

Three days later, in the Qianyuan Ramen House in Seireitei Flower Street, Aizen finished eating the ramen, put down his chopsticks and said softly.

"Well, so I think it's not a good choice to forcefully occupy the position of vice-captain. In the return test the next day, I basically didn't make much effort. Otherwise, if I really want to get serious, Yamada Seinosuke may not be strong. Pass me."

Higashino Shuichi took off a napkin and wiped his oil-stained lips.

"There is no problem with your choice. Under that gentle appearance, Uzhihua Lie hides a ferocious beast. You should be cautious when working under her."

Aizen said pushing up his frame.

"But in this case, even though I am only reduced to three seats, in principle I can still intervene in other people's treatment as before, but I think most Shinigami would still prefer to let Seinosuke help."

Higashino Shuichi said slightly worriedly.

"You don't have to worry about this. In fact, even if this matter hadn't happened, I would have asked you to stop working here temporarily."

Aizen raised the corners of his mouth slightly and comforted softly.

"Is the research making progress?!"

Higashino Shuichi cooperated by controlling his breathing to become more rapid, and tried his best to lower his voice.

"On the contrary, the research in the original direction has completely come to a standstill, but not long ago, that guy Sal Apollo discovered some new things through research on some people in the world. I think it is very interesting. Since a direction If you’re stuck, you might as well try another route!”

Higashino Shuichi looked at the confident smile on Aizen's face. This was news that he had suddenly received not long ago. He had obviously been studying it secretly for a while, but it just happened to be that he would say it out.

If Yamada Seinosuke hadn't happened, Higashino Shuichi was sure that Aizen would never have taken the initiative to ask him to stop what he was doing.

"What can I do for you, Aizen-sama? After resigning as vice-captain, I still have a lot of free time."

Higashino Shuichi asked tentatively.

In fact, he didn't want to help at all, but he still had to pretend to be a good subordinate.

Fortunately, Aizen really has no plans in this regard.

As an excellent planner, he had already arranged everything.

"Not yet. The things needed for the new research direction are not suitable for your current status. The best choice is the 10th Division or the 9th Division. I plan to wait until I graduate from Zhenyang Spiritual Arts Academy. Start again.”

"Do you want Dongxian?"

Higashino Shuichi said thoughtfully.

In this way, he also understood what the new research direction Aizen mentioned was.

If nothing else, it should be Bengyu.

The materials involved in making Honyu are mainly souls who have the qualifications to become a Shinigami, which is indeed not suitable for Higashino Shuichi, who is currently in the Fourth Division, to handle it.

It would be best if the members of the 10th Division, who are responsible for the security of Rukongai, or the 9th Division, who are responsible for dealing with accidents, criminals, etc., handle it.

The former is convenient for finding suitable personnel, and the latter is convenient for covering up crimes.

Comparing the two, if Higashino Shuichi had to choose, he would definitely choose the latter. After all, anyone can complete the former as long as they have plenty of free time. The difference is only in the efficiency of completion, but not the latter.

This is probably the main reason why Dongxian chose to join the ninth team after graduation in the original plot, right?

After another short rest, Higashino Shuichi and Aizen left the ramen shop one after another.

For now, the two of them are only acquaintances on the surface, and it is not suitable to show too close relationship in public.

Then, two peaceful years passed.

In the first year, Higashino Shuichi was still trembling every day, fearing that Unohana Retsu would suddenly launch a surprise investigation on him, but nothing happened. In front of him, Unohana Retsu always looked like a gentle big sister. She He even found Higashino Shuichi privately and apologized to Higashino for what happened to Yamada Seinosuke.

The next year, Higashino Shuichi was a little at a loss, because for nearly two years, Aizen seemed to have forgotten his existence. Even if he occasionally looked for him once or twice in the middle, he only drew some big, nutritious pictures. Besides, there were no tasks at all, so Higashino Shuichi lived like a normal Shinigami.

It must be said that this made him a little panicked, because he knew that the calmer the water surface was, the rougher the waves would be next.

In the past two years, Aizen has even restrained the Daxu in Hueco Mundo. He only occasionally agreed to let one or two Daxu come to the world to improve the record of the Thirteenth Division. What does this mean? It shows that Aizen's Something big is definitely brewing.

But the problem is that in his few remaining memories, it seems that this part of the plot does not exist?

This made Higashino Shuichi feel even more uneasy.

"That guy Aizen, what ultimate move is he holding back?"

Lying on the big bed in the fourth team's bedroom, Higashino Shuichi thought silently while enjoying his rest time.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

"Shuichi! Open the door, Shuichi!"

When he opened the door, what he saw was a refreshing man with short black hair, a three-quarter haircut on his forehead, and wearing a death tyrant outfit, Gin Ginjiro. He is currently the 14th seat of the 6th division. His dream is to be in the Seireitei. Open an optical shop.

"What's wrong? Ginjiro."

Higashino Shuichi asked curiously.

Speaking of which, he and Ginjiro only met after he resigned as vice-captain. Because Higashino Shuichi wanted to please his boss Aizen one day, he went to the optical shop in Rukongai to choose glasses for Aizen. , happened to meet Gin Ginjiro who was staying there, and because Gin Ginjiro knew a lot about various glasses.

In line with the idea of ​​having an expert lead the way and avoid detours, Higashino Hideichi became good friends with Gin Ginjiro as he went back and forth.

"The Noble Hunting Conference! The quadrennial Noble Hunting Conference is finally about to begin! A registration point has been opened at Sakura Plaza today. As long as you are an unmarried Shinigami, you can sign up! You haven't already signed up, have you?"

Gin Ginjiro said excitedly.

"Noble hunting meeting?"

Higashino Shuichi was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly remembered, wasn't this the nobles who had seen similar activities of a certain dynasty in this world before, so they suddenly came up with a similar activity in Soul Society?

Its purpose is also similar to that of the current dynasty. It is called hunting, but in fact it is a blind date. It provides a stage for the noble men of the Soul Society to show their masculine charm to other noble women.

At the same time, this hunting conference is also open to all Shinigami of the Thirteenth Division, but the Shinigami of the Thirteenth Division do not directly participate in the hunting, but are responsible for the security of the entire conference.

But it is undeniable that for most civilian male Death Gods, this is indeed the closest they get to those noble women.

What if I am attracted to it?

There's always a Grim Reaper with similar thoughts.

It's a pity that the former Higashino Shuichi was not interested in this activity at all.

Because he is not interested in those aristocratic women, he is accustomed to the aesthetics of his previous life, and is more willing to wait for a while to develop in this life and encounter a few "unforgettable" relationships in this life.

So Higashino Shuichi really didn't think of such an event for a while.

At the same time, the alarm bell in Higashino Shuichi's heart began to ring crazily.

Could it be that Aizen was waiting for this opportunity after two years of reprieve?
