Bleach: Watch Closely, This Is How You Use a Zanpakutō novel Chapter 294

Chapter 294 - 294: Apologize to Me!

In the Shinigami Research and Development Institute of the 12th Division, there was a dormitory belonging to the laboratory director, Aura Michibane.

Masatsuki Aozaki sat leisurely, enjoying the dressing service provided by Nemu Kurotsuchi, who stood beside him with an indifferent expression.

"Aura, you really are amazing! Over the years, I've heard Kisuke and Kyouraku praise your talent more than once," Masatsuki Aozaki remarked with admiration.

Dressed in a pristine white lab coat, Aura Michibane paid no mind to her battered body. Instead, she offered Masatsuki Aozaki a gentle smile.

"As you said, I've learned everything I need to. Shall we begin our plan now?"

Masatsuki Aozaki nodded.

"Let's begin. Time is running out, and my worries have never lessened."

With that, he turned and looked at the charming woman lying on the bed behind him, her face adorned with a playful smile. Leaning down, he placed a light kiss on her lips.

At that moment, Nemu Kurotsuchi, standing to the side, watched the scene unfold with an expression that could only be described as looking at pure scum.

But Masatsuki Aozaki didn't care.

The girl who was once as pure as a blank slate had been molded entirely according to his will. Because of that, he could reveal his true self to her without hesitation.

After all, shaping Nemu Kurotsuchi to his liking was far easier than altering Rukia or Aura Michibane.

"That being said, the Hōgyoku isn't something that can be created so easily," Aura Michibane said with a smile, gently caressing Masatsuki Aozaki's cheek.

"It doesn't need to achieve the same effect as the real Hōgyoku. What I need right now is quantity, nothing more."

Looking at Aura Michibane's flushed face, Masatsuki Aozaki couldn't help but shake his head and tease, "You're adorable when you blush."

The composure on Aura Michibane's face instantly vanished, replaced by a mechanical-like surprise.

Masatsuki Aozaki ran his fingers through her silky hair and whispered, "It seems even you haven't noticed... But you're far more captivating when you drop the pretense and show your true emotions."

Aura frowned slightly, as if about to argue, but instead, she parted her lips slightly and placed a soft peck on Masatsuki Aozaki's lips.

Meanwhile, Nemu Kurotsuchi narrowed her eyes, quietly observing the two as they became more brazen.

She had just finished helping Masatsuki Aozaki get dressed!

As his secretary, she was used to being rewarded for her work. After all, as the saying went—when there was work to be done, the secretary handled it. When there wasn't... well, cough, cough.

That was the unspoken rule between them.

Yet now, thanks to Aura Michibane's interference, not only had she received no reward, but judging by the situation, she would soon have to repeat the entire process all over again.

...

Two and a half hours later, Masatsuki Aozaki stepped out of the room with Nemu Kurotsuchi.

"Alright, alright, don't get too excited. We'll talk about work tonight," he said, rubbing Nemu's head with a helpless expression as he looked at her flushed cheeks and delicate expression.

"I'll take you to see your father in a bit, then we'll head home. The rest of the day is yours."

"...Kurotsuchi-sama is not my father," Nemu murmured, her expression slightly downcast. She had no interest in commenting on the rest of Masatsuki Aozaki's words.

"You really believe that nonsense of his?"

Masatsuki Aozaki sighed, glancing at the dejected Nemu before taking her slender hand in his.

"If he didn't care about you, would he be showing up at my place every other day?

On the surface, he comes to report on his experiments, but his little eyes always manage to wander toward a certain someone.

You're both so dishonest."

"Masatsuki-sama, I—"

Before Nemu could finish, a hoarse voice interrupted,

"Captain Masatsuki, speaking ill of others behind their backs isn't exactly polite, you know!"

Masatsuki Aozaki instantly recognized the voice. Sure enough, as he turned, he was met with the bizarre face of Mayuri Kurotsuchi.

Clicking his tongue in disdain, Masatsuki Aozaki scoffed,

"Did I say something wrong? Why are you so eager to interrupt?"

Mayuri scowled and replied in his usual rigid tone,

"I'm not here to interrupt your conversation—I just have business with you."

Masatsuki Aozaki rolled his eyes.

Who would believe that nonsense?
