Kirio Hikifune ate heartily, her chest rising and falling with each bite. Meanwhile, Masatsuki Aozaki sipped his tea, pretending not to notice the captivating scene before him.
At this point, his interest in the food had completely vanished.
He couldn't help it—the sight of a beautiful woman enjoying a meal so enthusiastically had stolen his attention.
At first, under his gaze, Kirio maintained a refined demeanor.
But as time went on, her chewing sped up, and soon, she was devouring the food without restraint.
Masatsuki Aozaki watched with amusement, a smile playing on his lips as he considered what to teach her next time.
Fried foods were easy to make, but they also became tiring to eat quickly... Well, that was part of the plan.
Knowing Kirio's appetite, he had intentionally prepared enough food for five people.
Yet in just over ten minutes, she had polished off everything on her own.
Wiping her glossy, well-fed lips, Kirio patted her still-flat stomach, signaling that it was time to get down to business.
The real reason she had invited Masatsuki over wasn't just to eat—it was to learn how to cook.
She returned to the kitchen, with Masatsuki following closely behind, giving her a hands-on, one-on-one lesson.
By the time the sun began to set, both of them had achieved their goals, parting ways fully satisfied.
...
Masatsuki Aozaki left the 12th Division and returned to his mansion in Noble Street, where he and Rangiku Matsumoto delved into the profound academic discussion of creating little Shinigami.
...
The next morning, Masatsuki and Gin Ichimaru went to the 2nd Division cafeteria for breakfast.
Though Masatsuki was a noble, the 2nd Division was managed by both the highest-ranking and wealthiest noble clans.
The food served here was no worse than what noble chefs could prepare.
Neither of them had any complaints about the cafeteria—when they were too lazy to cook, this was the best option.
After breakfast, Masatsuki left all the work to Gin and headed toward the Nest of Maggots.
He was planning to meet its newest resident. free\we,bnovel.c o(m)
If the newcomer was suitable, he might even recruit them to help with his training.
However, just as he stepped out of the 2nd Division barracks, a loud voice called out behind him.
"Masatsuki-san, please wait!"
Masatsuki raised an eyebrow. If it's about work, just go to Gin... why are they looking for me?
The voice was familiar, so he turned to see a broad-shouldered, stocky man with a brown pompadour, a thick gold chain around his neck, and an unmistakable presence.
An old acquaintance—Marenoshin Ōmaeda.
"What's up?" Masatsuki asked, puzzled.
As the Lieutenant of the 2nd Division, Ōmaeda rarely sought him out unless it was to pass down official orders.
After spending so much time here, Masatsuki had long established that all of his duties were Gin's responsibility.
"The Captain wants to see you," Ōmaeda said.
Masatsuki frowned in suspicion.
Yoruichi wants to see me? What for? Is she trying to drag me into another game of "Cat vs. Dragon" again?
...
Led by Ōmaeda, Masatsuki arrived at the Captain's office.
After announcing his arrival and receiving permission to enter, Ōmaeda bowed and took his leave.
Masatsuki slid open the door and immediately spotted Yoruichi Shihōin lounging comfortably on a seat that resembled a legless sofa.
Her small, delicate feet were bare, carelessly resting on a soft cushion in a way that was undeniably enticing.
Masatsuki hesitated, battling with himself internally, before reluctantly tearing his gaze away.
However, Yoruichi, as if sensing his thoughts, deliberately stretched her body.
Her smooth, petite feet curled slightly, her toes flexing like the sculpted details of a masterwork. It was almost as if they were inviting him to reach out and admire them up close.
Masatsuki nearly stepped forward, ready to offer his Captain a foot massage...
