Bleach: Watch Closely, This Is How You Use a Zanpakutō novel Chapter 275

Chapter 275 - 275: This King Shall Worry

Starrk was not intimidated by her presence. Instead, he simply smiled.

"So... I take it Lilynette agreed to your terms, didn't she, Your Majesty, King of Hueco Mundo?"

As he spoke, Starrk turned his gaze toward Masatsuki Aozaki.

Masatsuki Aozaki smiled faintly, nodded, and said softly,

"You're right. Lilynette has agreed, and from now on, you two belong to me."

"Don't worry, sticking with me won't be a loss. I guarantee you'll only go hungry nine times out of ten..."

"...Anyway, just drop my name when you're out and about, and no one will dare mess with you."

Then, still smiling, he extended his hand toward Starrk and introduced himself.

"I'm Masatsuki Aozaki. Looking forward to working with you."

Is this how a master and servant are supposed to talk?

Starrk tilted his head slightly but still responded politely,

"Nice to meet you. I'm Coyote Starrk. Looking forward to working with you as well."

Masatsuki Aozaki turned toward Lilynette, the corners of his mouth curling into a slight smirk.

"Lilynette-san, looks like Starrk doesn't need any convincing. Your worries were completely unnecessary."

His voice carried a teasing edge.

Hearing this, Lilynette's face flushed red with frustration.

She shot Masatsuki Aozaki a glare and snapped,

"Of course I saw that! I don't need you pointing it out!"

Then, turning toward Starrk, she jabbed him in the arm with her elbow, gritting her teeth as she demanded,

"And you, Starrk! You just up and became someone's subordinate without a second thought? You don't feel even a little resistance to this?"

Her eyes were filled with doubt and irritation.

Starrk sighed, shaking his head with a helpless smile.

"Well, honestly, I was planning to surrender anyway... I just got knocked around so much that I didn't get the chance to say it."

As he spoke, he shrugged as if to say it couldn't be helped.

Lilynette's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Huh!?"

Her voice was filled with both shock and anger.

She had agonized over the decision, struggling internally before finally choosing to surrender and join Masatsuki Aozaki.

And now he tells me he was already thinking about it from the start!?

Sensing Lilynette's growing fury, Starrk quickly tried to explain.

"Well, the power gap was just too big. We had no chance of winning anyway."

He waved his hands dismissively, showing that he was just as resigned to the situation.

"And besides... it's not every day you run into someone like this..."

His words trailed off suddenly, and for a brief moment, a complex emotion flickered in his eyes.

Lilynette also fell silent.

She understood what he had left unsaid.

Meeting someone who could be a companion.

She knew that was what he meant to say.

"The real surprises are still ahead," Lilynette muttered under her breath.

After arriving at Las Noches, she had come to a realization—there were more than just one or two people here who could be called companions.

Even "terrifying monsters" weren't limited to just Masatsuki Aozaki.

Looking for comrades?

This place might just be the best place for that.

"Next, let me introduce you two to our company's rules and regulations. As for your positions..."

As Masatsuki Aozaki spoke, he suddenly stopped.

Starrk, noticing the pause, looked at him with a hint of curiosity.

"What's wrong, Masatsuki-sama?"

Masatsuki Aozaki furrowed his brows, his expression turning serious.

"I just realized... our company doesn't seem to have any rules, nor do we have defined positions."

Lilynette and Starrk: "?"

...Did we just walk into a shady operation?

...

"When the wind rises, the clouds scatter; when might reigns, I return home. Where shall I find warriors to guard the four directions?"

"The Shinigami must always be eradicated. There's no other way."

"Excellent! You already know I like sleeping with my sword every night. Be sure to come on time tonight." _{f.(r)eewe/bnov\ll.com}
