Bleach Swordsman of Kusajishi

Chapter 19: Please Advice

“Good grief, Lisa-chan. That’s so cold of you to leave your Captain and drink by yourself.”

“Captain!!!” Lisa’s cheeks were flushed. Her Captain sure didn’t hold back, even though Hirako was sitting in front of her.

Whether it was intentional or not, upon seeing Lisa’s flushed face, Ky?raku Shunsui said with a concerned look: “Lisa-chan, don’t tell me you’re drunk already? If you’re a light drinker, keep it in moderation, you hear?”

Lisa rolled her eyes as she left Ky?raku Shunsui and returned to her seat.

“Afternoon, Captain Ky?raku!”

“Good day, Captain Ky?raku.”

• ·····

“Don’t mind me, guys. This is a tavern, after all.” Ky?raku Shunsui waved his hand to make sure everyone wasn’t tense because of his presence as he introduced Kimura Muyang to everyone: “Let me introduce you. This is Kimura Muyang.”

Kimura Muyang was excited when he saw all the familiar faces around him! But he has learned from his past mistakes now. So despite his excitement, he would pretend this was his first time seeing them.

“Hirako Shinji, 10th Division 4th Seat.”

“I’m pleased to make your acquaintance.”

“I may not be much of a help but – what are you hitting me for all of a sudden, Hiyori??”

Hiyori, a girl with freckles on her face, looked at Hirako Shinji and said while raising her fist: “The look on your face pisses me off.” She then turned at Kimura Muyang and smiled, revealing 2 cute snaggleteeth, “Don’t mind that baldy, I’m Hiyori. 12th Division 5th Seat. You can ask me anything you want. I’m pretty sure I’d be more helpful, at least more than Shinji.”

“Okay, I’ll call you Hiyori. Thanks for your consideration. You seem really close with Hirako.”

“Are you blind or something? His face is just so satisfying to step on, that’s all.”

Hirako Shinji seemed displeased when he heard Hiyori’s words: “Hey, Hiyori, what do you mean by that, huh?”

“It means exactly like how it sounds.”

Hiyori said as he kicked Hirako right in the face.

“Hiyori!!!” Hirako yelled furiously, and so the two of them squabbled.

Kimura Muyang was speechless as he knew that these two were always arguing.

“Don’t mind them. That’s just how they are. My name is Muguruma Kensei, 2nd Division 9th Seat. This one is Kuna Mashiro, 4th Division 9th Seat.”

“Kense, you big dummy, I can introduce myself just fine!~~~~~”

The lime green-haired Kuna Mashiro strangled Kensei’s neck as she yelled her hearts out.

The vein on Kensei’s forehead bulged as he was losing his patience over Kuna Mashiro that suddenly strangled him.

Apparently, Kensei and Mashiro were not that much different from Hiyori and Hirako, so Kimura Muyang just sighed in his heart, trying to convince himself that this was nothing unusual for them.

“Calm down, don’t mind them. That was just how they were”

However, he did feel their banter was somehow nostalgic as if it was some fleeting memories in the past.

Upon turning around his head, an eccentric-looking main came into his view. The man was wearing a pair of mirrored sunglasses, with a classic rounded afro and long sideburns.

Kimura Muyang almost failed to contain his laughter the first time he saw this man’s hair.

“My name is Love Aikawa, Kimura Muyang, is it? Let’s have a seat over there.”

“Love, your hairstyle is really…”

“What about it? It’s pretty cool, right? I think so too! ah ha ha ha ha!!”

“Yeah, it’s really cool!” Kimura Muyang said while wiping the sweat on his forehead. He lost the chance to blatantly convey his opinion.

“Is it that hot? why are you sweating?” Love Aikawa asked when he saw Kimura Muyang wiping his sweat.

“No, it’s just so lively here, that’s all.”

“Well, everyone is perky for sure! Come with me. Let’s sit with Captain Ky?raku.”

“Sure.” Kimura Muyang followed Love Aikawa, ignoring Hirako and the rest, who were still exchanging banter with each other, and approached Ky?raku Shunsui, who happened to be with Lisa. Upon noticing what Ky?raku Shunsui was drinking, plus having Lisa pouring it for him, Kimura Muyang was so envious of him. It was clear that a Captain’s lifestyle was nothing like ordinary Shinigami.

“Hmph! ”

Lisa was disgruntled when she saw Love Aikawa brought Kimura Muyang over. It seemed that she didn’t really like being around him.

Kimura Muyang smiled wryly, without knowing how he offended this erotic manga reader. Although she seemed mature, she was such a tsundere girl!

“Have you introduced yourself to all of them? If you have, try the sake, it’s really good, you know. Do you like sake? You too, Love. Have a seat, no need to hold back. Let’s have a drink together.”

“Yes, they are all good people. —I have never tried sake yet, but I do want to try.”

“Yes, they are all talented indeed. Had you come 10 years sooner, you’d be our peers and graduate from the academy together.”

“To be precise, I have graduated for 10 years, and we didn’t exactly graduate at the same time. Some of us are at different grades.” Love interjected.

“No need to sweat such a small detail, Love.” Ky?raku Shunsui slapped Love’s back while laughing.

“So you guys have only graduated recently? Yet, you’ve all become seated officers in your respective divisions. That’s amazing. Especially Lisa, who has become a Lieutenant!!”

Hearing Kimura Muyang’s words, Lisa fiercely glared at him, leaving Kimura Muyang confused. He wanted to compliment Lisa, but it seemed that his attempt in flattery had taken the wrong turn.

“Lisa-chan is not a Lieutenant yet, but we don’t have a Lieutenant in the 8th Division, so Lisa-chan is basically like our temporary Lieutenant,” Shunsui said with a smile.

Kimura Muyang was surprised that his compliment backfired.

“Kimura Muyang.” Lisa’s sounded surprisingly calm.

“Hm? What’s the matter?” Kimura Muyang had a feeling that something bad was about to happen because Lisa sounded completely calm. Sure enough, Lisa’s next sentence proved his suspicion.

“I’m pretty sure Captain-Commander said you’d be going to Shin’?, right? That makes all of us here your senpai then.”

Lisa thought that even though Kimura Muyang might be stronger than her and his Shunpo was fasterthan her, she was still his senpai in this case!

Kimura Muyang realized that Lisa was right, but wouldn’t it be awkward for him to call them senpai?

“Kimura, are you going to Shin’?? That makes me your senpai. Don’t worry; I will look after you in the future.” Hiyori immediately left Hirako alone when he heard Lisa and jumped in front of Kimura Muyang.

Meanwhile, Hirako Shinji was circling around Kimura Muyang, seemingly deep in thought.

“What are you looking at, bald Shinji?” Hiyori asked as he kicked Hirako’s ass.

“Hiyori, you little…!!” Hirako wanted to scold Hiyori but refrained from doing so once he saw Hiyori raised her fist. He then looked at Kimura Muyang instead and said: “Despite faint, I can sense your strength to some extent. Why did you want to go to Shin’? Academy at your current state?”

“Ah, I wanted to ask that as well. I’m positive that you’re no ordinary man.” Kensei added.

“Is he? Even though he seems so scrawny?” Hiyori doubted.

“Captain Ky?raku?” Love looked towards Ky?raku Shunsui.

“You’ll see for yourself eventually. I won’t say a word. Let’s just have a drink.”

Seeing Ky?raku Shunsui’s secretive attitude, they gave up asking and poured Kimura Muyang a drink.

The tavern seemed to be effective in closing the distance between them all. Kimura even managed to get closer with Lisa. At least she shouldn’t seek his fault in every little thing now. Of course, this didn’t come cheap as he couldn’t sleep in his room.
