Chapter 47: Actively become Kenpachi, drunk Yoruichi!
"Not everyone in the 11th Division likes to drink. I am the exception."
"As for how I, who can't drink, became the captain of the 11th Division, I can only say that I was lucky."
Facing Yoruichi's complaints, Xia Mu smiled and immediately explained, "At first, I just wanted to be an ordinary Shinigami, but in a sparring match with the chief officer of the 11th Division, I accidentally defeated him, and just like that, I became the chief officer."
"Later, during a training session, I sparred with the Third Seat again, and I was slightly better than him. As a result, he wanted to give up the Third Seat position to me. I was reluctant to accept it at first, but Kenpachi stepped in, so I became the Third Seat."
"After becoming the third seat, I thought that was enough, but I didn't expect that Kenpachi did something and was stripped of his position as captain. Gosuke, who was originally the vice-captain, was appointed by the Central Forty-Sixth Chamber to become the ninth Kenpachi, and I became the vice-captain."
"Come to think of it, you're really lucky." Ye Yi and Xia Mu were no strangers. She often practiced with Xia Mu. She knew that Xia Mu was very strong, but this was the first time she heard about Xia Mu's past.
It is really surprising that Xia Mu became the vice-captain in this way.
However, she also knew that the fact that Xia Mu was able to defeat the chief officer and the three seats of the 11th Squadron in succession showed Xia Mu's extraordinary strength. Without sufficient strength, no matter how lucky he was, he would not be able to be competent for these positions.
"So, what about becoming Kenpachi this time? Did you also defeat Kenpachi Kiyomizu passively?"
While sighing about Xia Mu's past, Ye Yi asked Xia Mu again.
According to Natsuki, before this, whether he served as the ninth seat, the third seat, or the deputy captain, it was not his original intention. He was passively holding these positions. Yoruichi was very curious about why Natsuki wanted to challenge Kenpachi Kiganjo this time.
If I remember correctly, Kenpachi Kiyomizu has only been Kenpachi for a few months, which can be said to be a short time.
"Or are you challenging Kenpachi Kiyomizu on your own initiative, wanting to avenge Kenpachi Gosuke?"
After Yoruichi asked the question, Natsuki hadn't answered yet. Urahara Kisuke next to him couldn't help but raise his head and looked at Natsuki with curiosity.
Kisuke Urahara was also somewhat curious about this matter.
After all, the name Kenpachi is too famous, and the secrets about Kenpachi inevitably make people want to spy on him.
Xia Mu felt the gazes of the two people, was silent for a while, and gave an answer, "Challenging Kiganjo was my own idea. This time I was not passive, but active. Of course, it was not for revenge for Gosuke. Gosuke lost to Kiganjo because he was not as skilled as him. This proves that he does not have enough ability to protect the name Kenpachi. This is not the fault of others."
"And I chose to kill Kiyomizu because keeping such an idiot as Kenpachi is really an insult to the 11th Division. Rather than letting him continue to serve as Kenpachi, it's better for me to do it myself."
When facing Gui Yancheng that day, Xia Mu said something like this.
Today, when facing Yoruichi and Kisuke, he once again said these words.
Yoruichi and Urahara Kisuke both sensed the determination in Natsuki's words.
I couldn't help but have a new understanding of this friend.
After briefly chatting about Kenpachi.
Ye Yi asked Xia Mu again: "So, do you drink or not?"
Xia Mu said: "Normally, I don't drink much, but you said that this is the fine wine that the Shifengyuan family has treasured for hundreds of years. Even if I can no longer drink, I still have to taste it."
A satisfied smile immediately appeared on Yoruichi's face. Just like that, in the secret base below the Double Killing Hill.
Natsuki, Yoruichi, and Urahara Kisuke were toasting each other here.
Xia Mu has joined the 11th Division for many years, and in such an atmosphere, he still hasn't developed a good alcohol tolerance. Of course, it doesn't mean that he can't drink. There is no problem with drinking a little.
This time, he just drank a little.
It was Yoruichi who drank a little too much. Even though her skin was dark, her face was still red from being drunk. After getting drunk, her temper became more and more active. She muttered some nonsense and started to make movements. She grabbed Natsuki and started to study the structure of Natsuki's body. Natsuki held Yoruichi down and briefly controlled her impulsive behavior, and then looked at Urahara Kisuke opposite her.
"Has she always been like this?"
Apparently Urahara Kisuke drank quite a bit, but he remained calm. One can only say that Urahara Kisuke is the one who can drink the best.
"Yoichi must be very happy today, so she drank so much. In the past, although she also liked to drink, she would drink in moderation." Urahara Kisuke explained to Natsuki.
"Is that so? Then I should be happy too, right?"
Today's cocktail party was held by Ye Yi alone to celebrate his becoming the captain. Ye Yi was so happy, it would seem a bit unreasonable if Xia Mu, the person involved, was not happy.
Urahara Kisuke was stunned for a moment, and felt that Natsuki was really an interesting person.
Xia Mu then asked Urahara Kisuke, "So, are we just going to let her go on like this?"
"Don't you really need something to sober you up?"
"I heard that drinking something sour can help sober you up after getting drunk. How about you go get some?"
Urahara Kisuke looked at Yoruichi, who was still making a fuss, with Natsuki's hand pressing on his head, and looked like she was drunk and trying her best to make a scene. Finally, he nodded and left.
No one knew where Urahara Kisuke had gone, but he quickly got some sobering stuff.
He gave Ye Yi a drink of the sobering medicine.
The effect of the medicine seemed to be particularly good. Ye Yi quickly recovered from the excited state after being drunk and fell into a deep sleep.
Because this is a private gathering.
It was not easy for Natsuki to leave directly, so he left Yoruichi here and waited here for a while. During this time, he also had some conversations with Urahara Kisuke. During this period, Urahara Kisuke's personality was really unpleasant and too dull, like a mute person. Often when you asked him a question, he would only give a brief answer. If you didn't ask, he would rarely speak on his own initiative.
This made Xia Mu feel a little bored.
So, after losing Yoruichi as the reconciler, he and Urahara Kisuke really can't get along.
Just as Natsuki continued to chat with Urahara Kisuke and waste time, Yoruichi finally woke up.
All I can say is that the god of death is different from ordinary people. He sobers up incredibly quickly.
