Bleach: Watch Closely, This Is How You Use a Zanpakutō novel Chapter 207

Chapter 207 - 207: Breakfast

"It's delicious, so good!"

As Isane Kotetsu eagerly devoured her breakfast, Kiyone Kotetsu, who had just picked up her bowl and chopsticks, narrowed her eyes and stared at her intensely.

"Big sister..."

Hearing the resentment in Kiyone's voice, Isane instinctively shivered and immediately set her bowl and chopsticks down on the table.

Masatsuki Aozaki couldn't help but smile. To an outsider, these sisters seemed to have completely swapped roles—the taller elder sister was actually afraid of her smaller younger sister.

"I always thought you liked eating porridge because you didn't want to grow taller, but now I see it's just that my cooking isn't good enough."

Kiyone's brow twitched as she spoke, staring at Isane, whose lips still had a few grains of rice stuck to them.

"That's not true... Your cooking is delicious too!"

Sensing an inexplicable pressure, Isane, driven by sheer survival instinct, hastily reassured her sister with a panicked expression.

"Of course, your cooking is great! It's just that Masatsuki said I could eat as much as I wanted and didn't have to worry about... about... managing my figure."

Masatsuki Aozaki's mouth twitched. No wonder even Retsu Unohana said Isane was too timid and introverted. Who needed to justify themselves to their sister just for eating a meal?

And she sold me out so easily... I'll have to teach her a lesson later.

"Oh? So you're not calling Brother-in-law 'Captain Masatsuki' anymore? Just using his name now? That's pretty close!"

Kiyone smirked as she looked at Isane, her teasing tone instantly turning her sister's face bright red.

"Cough, cough..." Isane choked in embarrassment, flustered and shy. "S-Sister... B-Brother-in-law? Why would you call him that? We're not even married yet! You can't just say that!"

"What's there to be embarrassed about?"

Kiyone's playful grin only grew wider. Her large eyes sparkled mischievously as she leaned in closer to her blushing sister.

"Alright, alright, Kiyone, don't tease Isane anymore," Masatsuki Aozaki interjected, stepping in to defuse the situation. He gently held Isane's hand, comforting her.

"You really dote on her..."

"And who else should I dote on?"

Looking at the beautiful and bashful woman before him, Masatsuki sat down beside her, running his fingers through her soft silver-grey hair before pulling her into his embrace.

There was a faint fragrance lingering on Isane's body—one Masatsuki knew all too well. The familiar scent made him feel like he had returned to last night.

Leaning down, he planted a light kiss on her lips.

"Because she's Isane."

"Not in front of my sister..." Isane murmured, her face flushing even deeper.

"I don't see anything! You two go right ahead!"

Kiyone covered her eyes dramatically with both hands but shamelessly peeked through her fingers, watching the display of affection unfold.

Despite her teasing, she felt genuinely happy. Her sister had finally found someone who truly cherished her. And to top it off, that person was one of the most prominent captains in Seireitei. Maybe now, her sister would finally start carrying herself with more confidence.

"Enough talk, if we wait any longer, the food's going to get cold."

Masatsuki picked up a piece of omelet and fed it to Isane, while Kiyone, watching them eat so heartily, reached out with her chopsticks and picked up a piece of grilled fish.

Unlike the Western nations, which had a wide variety of breakfast options, the cuisine here was primarily rice-based.

"...Delicious."

The moment the grilled fish touched her tongue, Kiyone's eyes widened in shock. She suddenly understood why Isane had been eating so eagerly earlier.

Something as simple as grilled fish had completely overwhelmed her taste buds. How was she supposed to stop eating now?

Jūshirō Ukitake was always generous to his squad members, and the barracks' meals weren't bad, but they simply couldn't compare to this.

Looking at the four simple dishes laid out before her, Kiyone's eyes suddenly turned a little red.
