Bleach: Watch Closely, This Is How You Use a Zanpakutō novel Chapter 315

Chapter 315: Chapter 315: Ninth Seat

"Shūsuke Amagai... What was this guy’s deal again?"

Masatsuki Aozaki frowned, lightly pinching his chin with his right hand as he muttered to himself, lost in thought.

Nemu Kurotsuchi couldn’t help but roll her eyes at Masatsuki’s response. With a sigh, she reminded him,

"Masatsuki-sama, were you even listening to me? He was brought in to help the squad find Princess Rurichiyo-sama!"

Thinking about how she usually maintained a deliberately cold and detached demeanor, the contrast made her unexpectedly cute in this moment.

"I don’t really remember... Something about him doing shady things? But he’s probably just some minor, unimportant character."

Masatsuki Aozaki nodded slowly.

Of course, what he couldn’t recall wasn’t the reason Nemu mentioned for Amagai Shūsuke joining the 11th Division.

His spiritual perception had already picked up on two unfamiliar Reiatsu near the office.

The stronger one was likely Shūsuke Amagai—just a top-tier, ordinary captain.

Comparable to Grimmjow of the Espada, a third-class spiritual powerhouse on the verge of reaching second-class.

Not someone worth paying much attention to.

...

Knock, knock, knock!

A series of knocks echoed at the door.

Masatsuki Aozaki frowned slightly. Seeing that Nemu had finished fixing her hair, he gestured for her to open it.

When he saw the visitor, Masatsuki was slightly taken aback.

It was a man he had never seen before.

His appearance had a rough, untamed quality—long, unkempt hair, a scruffy chin covered in stubble, and clothes that were somewhat tattered.

He wore a bright, easygoing smile, giving off the impression of someone friendly and approachable.

Yet, Masatsuki couldn’t shake a strange sense of familiarity.

It was the same unsettling feeling he got when looking at Aizen in glasses.

Not that this guy was anywhere near Aizen’s level—he just gave off that same kind of fake, dissonant vibe.

Definitely someone up to no good.

Aizen: ?

The man stepped inside, glancing at Mashiro Kuna, who was lounging on the sofa playing a game. With a hint of sentiment, he remarked,

"I’ve heard that Captain Aozaki takes great care of his subordinates, and now I see that it’s true."

"To serve under Captain Aozaki is truly an honor."

"You must be Shūsuke Amagai, right?"

Masatsuki Aozaki propped his head up with one hand on the table, utterly indifferent to Amagai’s flattery.

The man was momentarily stunned by Masatsuki’s casual demeanor but quickly regained his composure and said,

"That’s right, I’m Shūsuke Amagai."

"Captain-Commander Yamamoto assigned me to the 11th Division as your assistant, under the rank of Lieutenant."

"You’re the great hero who ended the war—I originally wanted to seek you out on my first day here, but unfortunately, you weren’t around."

"When I heard you had returned today, I came to visit immediately."

"Please guide me well, Captain Aozaki!"

Shūsuke Amagai extended his hand without hesitation, his gaze sincere as he looked at Masatsuki Aozaki—like an eager fan meeting his idol.

"Assistant, huh..."

Masatsuki Aozaki let out a sigh, slightly exasperated.

"That old man Yamamoto, making decisions like this without even telling me first."

"Well, these are unusual times," Amagai said with a sheepish laugh, scratching his head.

"I have confidence in my abilities, so please don’t worry, Captain."

"I get what the old man is thinking. My men are the ones who went missing—he’s probably just afraid I’ll go too far and sent you to keep an eye on me."

Masatsuki chuckled and waved his hand dismissively.

"If there’s nothing else, just report to the Lieutenant’s office."

"The squad’s affairs are being handled by Gin and Shiro-chan at the moment. They’ll get you settled."

"Have Nemu report any updates to me."

Amagai withdrew his hand, smiling awkwardly.
