Bleach: Watch Closely, This Is How You Use a Zanpakutō novel Chapter 365

Chapter 365: Chapter 365: Senjumaru Shutara’s Tolerance

"Mmm... Mmm..."

Masatsuki Aozaki’s pupils suddenly dilated, his body stiffening.

This woman... she’s too cunning!

She hadn’t swallowed that awful dessert—she had held onto it this whole time just to feed it to him!?

How long had she been waiting for this moment?

Yet before he could dwell on his outrage, his thoughts were abruptly cut off.

As the taste of the dessert faded, he finally sensed something else—the softness and sweetness that belonged to a girl over a thousand years old.

"Haa... Haa..."

The warmth between them lingered, and though the kiss didn’t last long, it was enough to make his heart race.

Senjumaru Shutara, moving with unpracticed awkwardness, slowly pulled away. Her golden eyes, slightly dazed, shimmered with an intoxicating glow.

Then, with a seductive smile and a teasing glint in her gaze, she murmured,

"Consider this my way of making it up to you. Well? How was it?"

"...Oh..."

For once, Masatsuki was left speechless.

A moment later, he turned on his heel and strode out of the kitchen.

Even as he walked away, the image of Senjumaru’s flushed, triumphant smile lingered in his mind.

Damn it. Senjumaru Shutara—of all people—had almost managed to charm him.

He couldn’t deny it. His heart had definitely skipped a beat just now.

...

Meanwhile, the older sister who had boldly made her move was feeling her heart pound furiously.

Taking several deep breaths, she tried to steady herself.

"...I finally didn’t run away this time. Good!"

This time, she had been the one to kiss Masatsuki. That alone made her feel victorious.

She had done something so daring because she had come to a realization.

Masatsuki was her junior. It was unacceptable to let a junior lead her around.

As his senior, she needed to turn the tables.

She had to retaliate properly for everything he had done to her.

It wasn’t like this was the first time, anyway. No matter how many times it happened after this, it would all be the same!

There was no need to overthink things.

Masatsuki had been the one to confess first.

And according to the romance manga drawn by Master Suichūgetsu in Seireitei, the one who confesses first... loses.

That meant, no matter what, Masatsuki was already the loser.

And as for her—she at least had to reclaim her position as the winner in this relationship!

Though she still felt a little shy, she swore she wouldn’t back down anymore.

...

Night fell, and the sky was adorned with scattered starlight.

Masatsuki, full of energy, prepared a feast for dinner.

As he enjoyed the meal, he casually shared the news he had received earlier with Kirio Hikifune and Senjumaru Shutara.

"A month from now, I’ll have an audience with the Soul King. After that, I’ll likely return to Seireitei. I’ll visit when I get the chance. Thanks for everything, Kirio, Senjumaru."

"..."

At his words, the ever-free-spirited Kirio Hikifune and the ever-composed Senjumaru Shutara both momentarily paused.

However, within seconds, they resumed eating as if nothing had happened.

The three quickly finished their meal.

Time passed in quiet stillness.

Now, deep into the night—the hour when young spirits were at their liveliest—Masatsuki found himself reflecting.

He genuinely enjoyed life at Gatonden.

Cooking for two beautiful older sisters every day, getting up to mischief with Kirio, teasing Senjumaru—it was never boring.
