The girl with short flaxen hair wearing glasses said with a grateful face: "After being idle for more than four months, your Wanshiwuwu just reopened. It should have been the busiest time, but you actually found time to help me research new styles.
Glasses, I really don’t know how to thank you.”
[Yin Meiyu's favorability is 1, and she has gained 1280 experience points. Current favorability: 40]
Looking at the prompts on the system, the smile on Duan Mu's face became gentler: "There is nothing to be grateful for between friends. In my heart, you are my best friend. Is it possible that you don't regard me as a friend at all?"
Friends?"
His voice was like a spring breeze blowing on the face, making those who heard it feel an extremely warm feeling rising from their hearts.
Yin Meiyu blushed and waved her hands hurriedly: "No...I didn't mean that..."
"That's okay."
Duan Mu smiled slightly: "As long as you are in need, you can come to me at any time. No matter how busy you are, no matter what you do, as your best friend, I will come to help you."
"..."
Gin Ginjiro stood behind the bar, looking at Duan Mu who was chatting and laughing with his daughter.
...This little bastard is definitely brainwashing, right?
He didn't know how many times he had heard similar words, and the listener was not just his daughter. He had said it to the daughter of the owner of the medicine store opposite, the female owner of the clothing store next door, and even the old lady of the Dafu store...etc.
Similar words.
Stressing him over and over again, as if brainwashing, gave his daughter the illusion that he was her best friend.
For this reason, Gin Ginjiro has warned his daughter countless times, but in the end, she was fed some kind of ecstasy by that bastard. Not only did Miu not cut off contact with this bastard, but she also said that she, as a father, was a little chicken...
Just kill him...
Why don’t you just chop him down!!
However……
In two years, he might still be able to do this kind of thing, but now Duanmu...according to Captain Kuchiki, his strength is already comparable to that of the captain of the Gotei Thirteenth Team.
He can't be driven away again and again, and he can't be beaten again and again.
In the end, he could only keep an eye on the bastard to prevent him from touching his precious daughter.
but……
Although this bastard is like a 'spiritual son', a bastard who wants to hang out with other women, he has never been rude to any woman, and instead gives people a gentle and elegant feeling.
And he was not pretending in front of him. He had monitored Duan Mu for several years and found that this guy really didn't have any dirty thoughts.
Gin Ginjiro couldn't help but wonder if this boy was a man after all.
His interactions with those women were more like... than interactions between men and women.
Best friend? Brother? Someone you admire?
Although different communication methods will be used depending on the target, no matter which method, there is no dirty idea at all.
And once it goes too far, even if the other party takes the initiative to approach, he will immediately express his thoughts and clearly refuse with words that are as harmless as possible to the other party, without any delay.
For example, the obese daughter of the owner of the Dafu store on the corner fell in love with this boy, but was rejected by him gently.
If it was just her, that would be fine, after all, the figure is there...
But in the commercial street that serves as Duan Mu's base in Seireitei, countless women have a favorable impression of him.
Among them are young girls, young women, old ladies, and even little girls... They range from three to four years old to hundreds of years old; they are all kinds and diverse, and there are many beautiful women among them.
But no matter how proactive they were, this boy remained unmoved as if he lacked the emotion of 'love'.
Nowadays, an organization called the 'Duanmu Support Association' has appeared on the commercial street. The composition of its members is extremely complicated. My daughter is the vice president of the support association; and the president is the daughter of the owner of the medicine shop opposite.
Xia Yanyou, who was promoted to the 13th seat of the fifth team in just a few years, served as the leader.
It is said...
Even the members of the Fourth Squadron and the secret mobile female members joined in after hearing the news.
"Uncle Ginjiro, I'm leaving. I'll visit you next time."
Gin Ginjiro opened his mouth, and finally said helplessly: "Who wants you to come to visit?"
As the saying goes, don't hit someone with a smiling face. Although this kid is a jerk, his words and deeds are polite and courteous, which makes people very fond of him, even he is no exception.
Sometimes I even think...
If my daughter really gets together with Duan Mu, it seems to be a good choice.
Although he is not a Shinigami, he has the strength of the captain of the Gotei 13 and is qualified to move around freely within the Seireitei. It doesn't matter whether he is a Shinigami or not.
However……
When he saw Duan Mu leaving the optical shop and walking directly into the medicine shop opposite, Gin Ginjiro's face suddenly darkened.
no!!
This bastard can't do it.
…
Feeling the knife-like gaze from behind, Duan Mu knew that boss Ginjiro was glaring at him again without looking back.
I don't know where I provoked him. Every time I see him, I look like I want to kill him.
"Hey, Xiao Duanmu didn't go to work?"
The one-legged Uncle Xia Yan smiled generously when he saw Duan Mu coming from outside: "How is business lately? I heard from Xiaoyou that you can now walk around Seireitei freely?"
"Well, Captain Yamamoto gave me the right to move around freely within the Seireitei."
"Captain Yamamoto..."
Uncle Xia Yan smacked his mouth and sighed sincerely: "You are really awesome, you are actually able to get the recognition of the captain!!"
Although I don’t know how Duan Mu did it, the fact that a Rukongai resident who is not a Shinigami can be recognized by Captain Yamamoto is enough to show Duan Mu’s strength.
But while he was surprised, he also felt that it was normal for Duanmu's ability to be recognized by Captain Yamamoto.
Because, since my daughter met Duan Mu, under his meticulous guidance, she has been promoted from an ordinary soldier a few years ago to a chief officer, and now there are even faint signs of becoming a top ten senior chief officer.
"Xiaoyou, will you have a day off today?"
"Um."
Uncle Xia Yan nodded. He was not as wary of Duan Mu as Gin Ginjiro was, because in his opinion, Duan Mu regarded his daughter as a disciple.
And his own daughter also worships her as someone she admires.
"She is reading in the back room." Uncle Xia Yan pointed to the back room.
Duan Mu opened the curtain and walked into the back room with ease. When he saw the black-haired girl in casual clothes inside, a warm smile appeared on his face: "Are you reading a book about flower arrangement?"
"Ah~~"
Xia Yanyou, who was focusing on the book in his hand, was startled by Duan Mu's voice, and then saw Duan Mu standing at the door.
"Mr. Duan Mu, why are you here?"
"I told you not to be so polite." Duan Mu smiled slightly: "I've heard what Meiyu said, what are you going to do?"
"this……"
Xia Yanyou looked at the book in his hand with a nervous expression on his face: "I'm still a little nervous. After all, it was a flower arrangement party organized by Captain Unohana himself. I was a little hesitant about asking Vice Captain Hinamori to choose other chairs to accompany her.
"
"Hmm? Vice Captain Hinamori also wants to participate in the flower arrangement party?"
Duan Mu was stunned when he heard this. Although when he just talked with Yin Meiyu, he learned that Xia Yanyou was going to participate in the flower arrangement party organized by Captain Uzhihua. However, Xia Yanyou accompanied Hinamori Momo to participate in this matter, but Yin Meiyu did not say anything.
"Vice Captain Hinamori has actually always participated. However, in the past two years, the Fifth Division received orders to maintain combat readiness and provide support at any time, so he has not participated."
Xia Yanyou hesitated for a moment, but still said: "However, the preparation status has been lifted recently, so after receiving the invitation, Vice Captain Hinamori is also ready to participate."
"The reason why I want to go is because I accepted Vice-Captain Hinamori's request to go together."
"That's it."
Duan Mu nodded, has the war preparation state been lifted?
However, he did not delve into it.
It is also a good thing for Duan Mu that Hinamori Momo comes to participate in the flower arrangement party. Ever since the Ginjo Kūgo incident, Hinamori Momo has been absent from the regular meetings of the Female Shinigami Association because of her preparations for war.
Now that it has been lifted, she should come to attend the next meeting.
Although it is extremely difficult to improve the favorability of these female vice-captains.
Even if they attend every meeting, the favorability of those association members towards Duan Mu will be extremely limited.
Even Rukia Kuchiki, who is the easiest to improve, can't increase her favorability just by talking to her about her relationship status.
Duan Mu actually thought about simply bringing Renji up to her, but although the two of them cared about each other, they had a kind of incommunicado attitude...
"I made an appointment with Meiyu. The three of us will set off to the Fourth Division together later. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me on the way."
Duan Mu paused and continued: "Although I can't say I'm good at it, I have participated in many flower arrangement parties and I still have some experience."
"You are too modest."
Xia Yanyou looked at the smile on Duan Mu's face and said softly: "I heard from Vice Captain Hinamori that you are now the honorary director of the Flower Arrangement Association founded by Captain Unohana, and you also serve as the Vice President of the Flower Arrangement Association together with Vice Captain Kotetsu.
President."
"It's just Captain Unohana taking care of me."
After Duan Mu said this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. In order to win the favor of Captain Uozhihua, he spent countless days and nights honing his knowledge of flower arrangement.
result……
Now that he has become the vice-president, Uzhihua's favorability towards him has only increased by 1 point, to 2 points.
Every time he thinks of this, Duan Mu can't help but miss Tiruti.
It is really difficult to increase the favorability level at the captain level. It would be great if everyone were as simple as Tiruti.
The feeling of being suddenly increased by more than 200,000 experience points cannot be described in words.
He returned to Soul Society for nearly half a year and only gained more than 40,000 experience points.
The experience points provided by the residents of Rukongai and the ordinary people in the shopping street are too little.
As for Xia Yanyou in front of her, under Duan Mu's meticulous guidance, her favorability towards him had already reached the full 60 points; fortunately, she had always respected Duan Mu as a teacher and had no other ideas, otherwise Duan would
It won't be as easy as it is now to get along with him.
"Don't be too nervous. Captain Unohana is a very friendly person, and with me by your side, what are you afraid of?"
Seeing the warm smile on Duan Mu's face, Xia Yanyou nodded subconsciously.
Mr. Duan Mu is always so reliable.
"By the way, now that the war preparation state has been lifted, will your Captain Aizen return to the Shino Spiritual Arts Academy and continue teaching calligraphy?"
Duan Mu said with a smile: "Those who have just joined the Fourth Division recently gathered together to discuss Captain Aizen's calligraphy class. Although it was an elective class, the seats were always full every time.
The corridor is full of people."
"Um."
Xia Yan nodded and said with longing: "It's normal for them to miss you. After all, Captain Aizen is so similar to Mr. Duan Mu. With such a special teacher here, the students will definitely be interested in calligraphy."
"..."
Hearing this, the smile on Duan Mu's face froze, and finally he said with a stiff smile: "Don't say such nonsense, that adult is completely different from me."
However……
Xia Yanyou, who has always been weak, is uncharacteristically firm: "I'm telling the truth, Captain Aizen is indeed very similar to you, both are kind, gentle, and powerful; and they never look at others differently and treat everyone equally.
Secretly, many people say that you are too nice, but I think you are all the most respectable people."
"If I have the chance, I will definitely introduce you to Captain Aizen. The two of you will definitely get along well and become good friends!"
Don't--!!
Duan Mu almost didn't shout.
Make friends with Aizen?
I haven't lived enough... Anyone who has a relationship with him rarely ends well, and being friends with him doesn't provide you with experience points.
However, should I find a way to get rid of the title of ‘good old guy’?
I always feel that none of the guys who are called 'good old guys' in Soul Society are good...
"How am I qualified to make friends with that adult?"
Duan Mu reluctantly lowered the corner of his mouth and hurriedly changed the subject: "It's almost time, we should set off."
"ah?"
Xia Yanyou then remembered that he had to attend a flower arrangement party later, and hurriedly hugged the books in his arms.
"Don't be nervous. New people will come to the flower arrangement party every time. Yongyin and I will explain it one by one to those new people who are interested in flower arrangement."
After that, Duan Mu turned around and walked out, raising his hand to wipe away the non-existent cold sweat: "I'll go outside first to see if Meiyu is ready."
"Um."
…
Two minutes later, a group of three people set off towards the Fourth Division team building.
When the three of them arrived at the Fourth Division team building, many members had already gathered in the flower arrangement classroom. Most of them were members of the Fourth Division, and a small number were from other divisions.
And these people...
Basically they are all women!!
This is also the main reason why Duan Mu did not give up studying flower arrangement after discovering that it was difficult to increase Mao Zhihua's favorability.
Because this is an important channel for Duan Mu to make friends with female members of other divisions!
"Director Duan Mu, you are here."
"Vice President Duan Mu."
"..."
Seeing Duan Mu's arrival, a wave of greetings suddenly sounded in the flower arrangement classroom.
"Boss Duan Mu, you are as popular as ever."
A voice came from behind Duan Mu. He turned around and saw a measured smile on Duan Mu's face that was not alienating, but not overly affectionate either.
"Long time no see, Vice Captain Hinamori."
The owner of the voice was none other than Hinamori Momo, the vice-captain of the fifth division.
Hearing this, a smile appeared on Hinamori Tao's face: "It's been a long time since we last seen each other."
In the past two years, she has stopped almost all leisure activities. The team members still have rest, but as the vice-captain, she and Captain Aizen have always been in the fifth division.
However, being able to stay with Captain Aizen all the time, Hinamori Momo didn't feel it was hard, instead she felt happy every day.
The sudden lifting of the war preparation state made her a little uncomfortable.
Duan Mu heard this and was about to say something when he felt his body sink and a familiar voice came to his ears.
"Amu, Amu...this president is here too."
Turning around, Duan Mu shook his head when he saw Yaqianliu's innocent smile: "Baqianliu, it's useless even if you pester me. Since the last time you stole snacks and candies before the flower arrangement party,
After eating all the snacks and candies prepared for the flower arrangement class, Yongyin locked them in his cabinet and would not take them out until the flower arrangement class started."
Before every flower arrangement party, Captain Uzhihua will ask Yongyin to prepare snacks and candies. When the flower arrangement party comes to an end, everyone will drink tea and eat snacks while admiring the flower arrangement works, and then disband.
But due to Yachiru's stealing behavior last time, Yongyin locked all the snacks and snacks in his office cabinet.
"Hmm~~Xiao Hute is so stingy..."
The smile on Yaqianliu's face disappeared immediately, but her eyes lit up the next second.
"However, I brought some Jinping candies. You can take them and eat them before eating snacks."
Duan Mu took out the Jinping candy bought in the commercial street from his arms and waved it in front of Baqianliu's eyes. Before he could say anything, Baqianliu jumped up and snatched it away. Soon his face was covered with sugar residue, and he couldn't help but look at it.
One couldn't help laughing.
At this moment, there was silence in the flower arrangement classroom, and everyone stood up and looked towards the entrance.
I saw Uzhihua Lie and Kotetsu Yongin walking in from the outside.
"Captain Unohana."
"Don't be so formal."
Maozhihualie shook his head, with a gentle smile on his face: "The flower arrangement club is a place for leisure and relaxation, not a place for reporting work. Just call me president here."
With Unohana Retsu's opening remarks, the flower arrangement party officially began.
Maozhihualie led the old members to start flower arrangement, while Duan Mu and Yongyin started to teach the new members the knowledge of flower arrangement.
[Shan Xiayu's favorability is 1, gained 640 experience points, current favorability: 51]
[Xiao Nai's favorability is 1, gained 640 experience points, current favorability: 59]
[Shibata's favorability is 1, 320 experience points gained, current favorability: 41]
[Hua Feng's favorability is 1, 160 experience points gained, current favorability: 39]
[Xun’s favorability is 1, gain 20 experience points, current favorability: 8]
【……】
Looking at the prompts in his mind, Duan Mu was happy and anxious at the same time.
Because those with high favorability are basically members of the Fourth Division, and many people's favorability towards him has almost reached the full friendship level...
In order to avoid some misunderstandings and embarrassment, Duan Mu will continue to get along with them, and when they need it, he will definitely help as a friend.
but……
At all costs, avoid any further increase in favorability.
This leaves Duan Mu with one less way to obtain experience points after the commercial street.
Although there were soldiers from other divisions at the flower arrangement party, their number was only a small number.
Since most of the members of Division 4 have full friendship and made it clear that they only get along with each other as friends, it can be said that the experience gained by Duan Mu is getting worse day by day.
Current experience value: 84650.
Among these...
40,000 were left behind by Duan Mu before, which means that after half a year, Duan Mu only gained more than 40,000 experience points.
Especially in the past two months, the total experience points gained are less than 3,000...
It is really difficult to find another place like a comprehensive first aid center.
Without quantity, we can only focus on quality.
Thinking of this, Duan Mu couldn't help but glance at Mao Zhihualie.
Secretly thinking, with my current strength, can I withstand this blow without dying? If I can withstand it, how many points of favorability can I gain?
However, Duan Mu was just thinking about it.
Because every time Duan Mu thinks about fighting fiercely with Maozhihua, the fear she brought to him when they first met appears in his mind, and it lingers like a shadow.
Maybe it's a test, maybe it's a screening, or maybe it's a way to tell Duan Mu that he can't arouse Uozhihua Lie's interest at the moment.
All in all, the first impression was too terrifying, which made Duan Mu, who was usually concerned about the consequences, dare not challenge him for fear of being hacked to death...
Of course, if quality is important, Duan Mu has many other options.
Everyone in the Female Death God Association can gain a lot of experience points as their favorability increases.
But now they are all stuck...
There are only a few female vice-captains and chief officers, and now they all have a good relationship with Duan Mu, and their favorability is no longer as easy to increase as when they first got acquainted.
For example, Yongyin...
Even in the flower arrangement party and the comprehensive rescue center, the two of them have been supporting and learning from each other, but her favorability level for herself is only 54 points, with no signs of improvement at all.
After thinking about it for a while, Duan Mu found that in the huge Soul Society, it was so difficult to make friends.
However, it is no wonder that female Shinigami are extremely rare among the more than 6,000 members of the Gotei 13.
Except for the fourth division, the division with the most female Shinigami is the fifth division, which Duan Mu is unwilling to contact, and the second most female division is the thirteenth division.
Those female team members all joined because of the personal charm of the two squad captains.
Thinking of this, Duan Mu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Is there any way to greatly increase one's exposure like in this world?
