Walking on the streets of Seireitei, Duan Mu felt extremely tired in his heart.
because……
"Hey, hey, did you hear that?"
"What?"
"It's Captain Duan Mu... Well, no, Boss Duan Mu seems to have resigned from the 9th Division now. In short, it's the matter where Boss Duan Mu confessed to... Captain Zhanfeng."
"Yes, yes, I have also heard that Boss Duan Mu confessed his love to Captain Broken Bee during the final battle, and even extended a date invitation."
"More than that, I heard that when Boss Duan Mu was still alive, he once said that if he could win this battle, he would return to the Seireitei and marry Captain Zhanfei. I think the reason why Boss Duan Mu wanted to start from the ninth chapter
He resigned from the team precisely to prepare for wedding-related matters."
"It's really enviable."
"Who do you envy?"
"...I envy Captain Broken Bee."
"..."
God damn, if he wins this battle, he will return to Soul Society and marry Zombie...
Duan Mu listened to the discussions of the female team members in the dark, and felt nothing but black lines on his head.
If he had set up such a flag when he was fighting Aizen in this world, then it might not be him who is walking around freely in the Seireitei now, but Aizen!
Duan Mu pretended not to hear and cursed secretly in his heart.
He really doesn't know...
What kind of bastard was so arrogant that he spread the news throughout the entire Seireitei about his confession to the Captain of the Broken Bee during the ten days he was lying in the Fourth Division, and it was so outrageous.
Having said that, Duan Mu still has a few suspects in his mind.
Because most of the captains and vice-captains at the scene were in a state of fainting when they said they 'admire' the Broken Bee.
And those people who are awake, Hisagi Shuhei, Kira Izuru, Komamura Zuozhen...etc., all belong to the type who won't talk nonsense to others.
Eliminate them, those who are awake at the time, have a more out-of-touch personality, and like to talk nonsense...
There are only two people.
Kyōraku Shunsui and Hirako Mako, these two old guys!!
The fact that he said he 'admired' Zhanfeng might have come from one of the two, or it might have come from both of them...as something to talk about after drinking...
Duan Mu himself didn't really care too much about such rumors.
It's just a misunderstanding. Just explain it clearly.
It's just that Duan Mu didn't think of a good solution, so he kept thinking about avoiding it first.
but……
Duan Mu was really unable to accept the negative impact caused by the news being widely circulated.
"I'm afraid that Mr. Broken Bee will misunderstand."
This is what Duan Mu just heard from a familiar female team member when he was having a habitual chat.
What a joke.
Now is the time when I need to make more friends, and I must not let my circle of friends shrink because of a misunderstanding.
Duan Mu now finally understood...why Yongyin always looked cold when he was in the intensive care unit.
She was probably afraid that Captain Broken Bee would misunderstand, so she deliberately distanced herself from her. After all, Broken Bee was the leader of a secretive operation.
And what is stealth maneuvering for?
That is an agency that specializes in catching Death Gods. If you offend Sui Feng, Sui Feng doesn't even need to give orders. Xing Jun's group of killers will just accuse Sui Feng of any crime in order to please Sui Feng. They will first catch the person in a secret maneuver and torture him...
…
The misunderstanding must be resolved immediately, immediately, immediately!
After Duanmu walked around the Seireitei, he gave up without hesitation his original idea of going back to Rukongai to avoid the limelight and temporarily avoid Zaihou.
Otherwise, if the rumors continue to spread, who knows what will happen.
Having made up his mind, Duan Mu didn't hesitate much and headed straight towards the location of the Second Division.
…
"Boss Duan Mu... No, Mr. Househusband?"
As soon as Duan Mu arrived outside the second division team, a masked Xing Jun standing outside the gate of the second division team came up to him and said excitedly: "Boss Duan Mu... Mr. Househusband, you are finally here."
Househusband?
Duan Mu looked at the excitement and expectation in Feng Yuanyu's eyes and couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth: "Wait a minute, what is the consciousness of the househusband?"
"This is the title that our Feng family decided upon after a private discussion. Househusband means the husband of the head of the family. After all, your relationship with Sui Feng has reached this stage, and we can no longer call you the same name as before...
"
"That's it..."
Duan Mu's face darkened, and he waved his hand quickly to interrupt Feng Yuanyu's words, and said: "My relationship with Captain Zuofeng is not what you think. I just said..."
"I understand, I promise I won't go out and talk nonsense."
"..."
Duan Mu looked at Feng Yuanyu, who was winking at him, and sighed heavily, "You know nothing!"
"Househusband, wait, um... If my mother asked me to meet you, I would like to ask you if you have chosen a date? After all, nobles are different from common people. In addition, Mr. Zhanfeng is the head of a noble family, and you are from a senatorial family.
members, so the noble association must be notified in advance..."
Duan Mu ignored Feng Yuanyu's words behind him, walked straight into the second division, and headed towards the captain's room.
"This guy..."
As soon as I stepped into the office building, a familiar figure walked towards me.
"You came so late."
Ohmaeda was holding a bunch of snacks and dropping them as he walked. When he came to Duan Mu, he looked around and whispered: "I didn't expect you to have that kind of thoughts about Captain Broken Bee. No wonder you refused to take over as captain.
Stay in stealth maneuvers for life and death."
"Of course, I have long seen that you have bad intentions."
"Stop talking nonsense!"
Duan Mu rolled his eyes at Omaeda angrily: "Is Captain Broken Bee back?"
When he was in the underground meeting hall earlier, he asked Zaihou and Kyoraku Shunsui to escort Aizen to Mugen. Counting the time, he should have returned to the team by now.
"Just got back."
Ohmaeda glanced at the captain's office and whispered: "However, I advise you to be more careful. Captain Zaihou seems to be in a bad mood. It seems that it is because the master of the Shifengin family refused to return to Soul Society.
According to the report, it seems that he is planning to stay in this world forever."
Yoruichi?
Duan Mu nodded, not too surprised.
Although after some discussions, Mao No. 46 has withdrawn the charges against the two of them, Urahara Kisuke and Shihoin Yoruichi did not choose to return to Soul Society, but decided to continue to stay in the living world.
Regarding this point, neither Captain Yamamoto nor the wise men in Room 46 of Mao tried to force it.
Because whether it was creating a battlefield suitable for fighting or sealing Aizen, Urahara Kisuke and Yoruichi provided great help. It can be said that the entire Seireitei owes them a great favor.
Therefore, Seireitei also respected their choices.
The only change is...
Kisuke Urahara, a wanted criminal, was able to carry out the business of dispatching Shinigami in this world openly, and he even advertised his shop in the Seireitei.
I don’t know what’s going on over there now.
Thinking of Urahara Kisuke and Yoruichi, Duanmu couldn't help but think of Kurosaki Ichigo, whom he had selectively forgotten.
You must know that at the beginning, both Urahara Kisuke and Yoruichi, Kurosaki Isshin, and even Duanmu himself, all placed their hopes of defeating Aizen entirely on Kurosaki Ichigo.
Before the war started, all Duanmu wanted to do was hold Aizen back and try to delay Kurosaki and his son as much as possible.
result……
Hit, hit, he hit his head, completely forgetting that he was just delaying Aizen.
It wasn't until the moment he fainted that Duan Mu remembered his original purpose.
Duan Mu is not sure what happened after that.
However, judging from the fact that people who have a good relationship with Kurosaki Ichigo, such as Kuchiki Rukia and Abarai Renji, have never returned to the Gotei 13th Division, the current situation of Kurosaki Ichigo should be the same as in his memory.
Not much difference.
After all, he obtained that kind of power under special circumstances. The barrier acts on physical time, and there will inevitably be a countercurrent after leaving the barrier. And Kurosaki Ichigo, who entered that state, has already borrowed the special characteristics of the swastika
, forcibly fused with the Zanpakutō.
Therefore, the outcome will naturally not change much. At most, it will be able to persist for a while without much consumption.
Shaking his head, Duan Mu did not continue to struggle. Anyway, Urahara Kisuke would naturally find a way to solve Kurosaki Ichigo's problem. He was already too busy taking care of himself at the moment, so he had no energy to care about other people.
Looking at the captain's room just around the corner, Duan Mu gritted his teeth and went to the captain's room.
When Ohmaeda saw this, he immediately stopped eating snacks. His fat face was full of gossip, and he followed Duan Mu secretly.
Duan Mu ignored him, raised his hand and knocked on the door, then released the hidden spiritual pressure.
"..."
silence!
As Duan Mu's spiritual pressure appeared, the faint writing sound coming from the captain's room suddenly stopped, and the whole room fell into silence.
If he hadn't felt that the spiritual pressure in him hadn't disappeared, Duan Mu might have thought that the broken bee had left.
"Enter."
After a long silence, Broken Bee's cold voice came out.
This made Duan Mu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Zaifeng would say, "I'm afraid that Master Ye Yi will misunderstand me" and then avoid him like those female team members...
After entering the captain's room, Sui Feng behind the desk ignored Duan Mu and continued to lower his head to deal with the documents on the table. He looked like he always did, as if he was not embarrassed or embarrassed by Duan Mu's confession.
This made the captain secretly watch Ohmaeda outside and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
"What's the matter?"
Sui Feng asked without raising his head, his tone was still calm, but the movements of handling documents in his hands were obviously a little more serious.
To be honest, she did consider avoiding Duan Mu.
Although she didn't feel any embarrassment or any other emotions when she was in this world, she was just a little annoyed that Duan Mu was still distracted thinking about such things in that situation.
But after returning to Soul Society, after a period of time, Broken Bee suddenly felt...
Duan Mu explained his feelings to himself in that situation, and it seemed that it was not so incomprehensible. After all, the strength Aizen showed made everyone feel despair.
He was probably determined to die at that time, thinking that if he didn't tell him now, he might not have the chance to tell him his feelings again in the future.
This made Zhanfeng, who had already decided to reject Duan Mu directly from the beginning, hesitant to reject Duan Mu personally. Therefore, during the time Duan Mu stayed in the intensive care unit, Zhanfeng had been struggling with whether he should treat Duan Mu.
Mu gave him a cold treatment and let him figure it out on his own.
only……
The increasingly outrageous rumors within the Seireitei and the actions within the family made Zaihou change his mind.
Broken Bee's first reaction at the time was to clarify and stop the spread of rumors.
But coming forward to clarify on his own would most likely embarrass Duan Mu. Although he had decided to reject Duan Mu, Sui Feng would rather refuse in person than to refuse in such an embarrassing way, so he remained silent.
Although the two parties involved did not clarify the rumors, the rumors became more and more outrageous, and even the family began to prepare for their marriage...
Originally, she planned to ask Duan Mu to meet him immediately after dealing with Aizen's matter, and solve the matter while having dinner together. Unexpectedly, Duan Mu came to see her first.
Duan Mu doesn't know what Sui Feng is thinking. If he knew, he would definitely tell Sui Feng that he is not afraid of embarrassment. You can definitely clarify it in front of everyone. The clearer the clarification, the better. This way I can feel confident to communicate with you.
Friends!
"Sorry, Captain Broken Bee."
After hesitating for a moment, Duan Mu said apologetically: "I didn't know that what I said at the beginning would cause this situation and bring you so much trouble."
"It doesn't matter."
Broken Bee shook his head: "In that case, this is inevitable, and your behavior is understandable."
Duan Mu was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but murmur in his heart.
However, then the two of them spoke at the same time:
"You came just in time, I was just about to..."
"Actually, everyone has misunderstood..."
After a pause of words, Sui Feng frowned slightly and said, "You go ahead and say it first."
Duan Mu was not polite when he heard this. He was here to clear up the misunderstanding. Since he was already here, Duan Mu would naturally not choose to escape again.
Anyway, with Captain Broken Bee's character, she wouldn't like her. If she directly explained the misunderstanding, she wouldn't have much of a reaction. She might even breathe a sigh of relief. After all, she wouldn't have to worry about it anymore.
Worried about being misunderstood by the most important person, 'Yorami'.
"Actually, everyone misunderstood what I said. What I said about 'admiration' was actually my admiration for you, Captain Broken Bee. I just expressed my respect for you."
Having said this, Duan Mu looked at Sui Feng's reaction and found that there was nothing strange about her. He breathed a sigh of relief and continued:
"As for the dinner, I just want to have a meal with you. After all, you rarely go to the canteen to eat, so I always hope to have the opportunity to have a meal with you in the canteen."
"I didn't expect that my words would actually cause such a misunderstanding. Regarding this point, I really lacked consideration and brought you so much trouble to Captain Broken Bee."
As Duan Mu said this, he carefully observed Zai Bee's reaction. After confirming that she had no intention of blowing him away, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Are you done?"
Zhanfeng's tone was still calm, but whether it was an illusion or not, Duan Mu felt that her tone had become a little colder.
"After that, let's go down."
"that……"
"I didn't misunderstand, I just don't have time to pay attention to those people's boring rumors."
Broken Bee raised his head and glanced at Duan Mu, then continued in a cold tone: "The Maggot Nest has not been managed for a while. Since you are here, why not drop by."
