Chapter 69: Emergencies
knock knock.
Hirako Shinji knocked on the door a few times before walking in with several papers in his hands, to which Muyang respond by raising his head from the pile of documents in front of him: Several Hollows are sighted at West Rukongai District 68, requesting orders.
West Rukongai District 64 is indeed under our Divisions jurisdiction, but you should be able to handle something like this on your own, right? Why bother reporting it to me?
Muyang said as he waved his hand as if telling Shinji to go away. Even though it was indeed not that far, usually the Hollow that wandered to Soul Society wasnt a strong one, so Shinji should be able to handle it by himself without bothering for every little thing.
Well, youre right about that, but the problem is were currently shorthanded to deal with this matter. Most Seated Officers basically had their hands full with other tasks.
Weve been too busy recently! Muyang sighed as he didnt expect that theyd be shorthanded, Which Seated Officers are available right now?
Only 9th Seat Suzuki Kusu and 14th Seat Morikawa Nomi can sortie right away at the moment.
Are they the only ones left? Muyang tapped the table lightly with his finger. This was kind of upsetting. How did other Seated Officers happen to be busy at a time like this?
What did the 12th Divisions report say? Muyang suddenly asked as he raised his head.
Judging from the Reiatsu, it is just a small fry, and the general Seated Officer should be able to deal with it.
In that case Muyang fixed his sitting posture: Have the 9th Seat Suzuki Kusu and 14th Seat Morikawa Nomi lead the team to deal with the Hollow.
Understood. Shinji nodded and conveyed Muyangs order to the said Division Members.
Although Suzuki Kusu was inexperienced because she has only joined the team for a relatively short period of time, her skill was the real deal. Although she was currently serving as the 9th Seat, she was as skilled as the 6th Seat. Besides, Morikawa, who was more experienced, would accompany her, so they should have no problem finishing this task.
Muyang made sure to think his decision through before burying himself in the pile of books before him. He has been immersed in reading books ever since Hikifune Kirio mentioned Artificial Soul. Now that their 10th Division was on the right track, he could spend his time on the so-called Artifical Soul.
A hell butterfly suddenly flew in front of Shinji. Shinji, who was gazing at the scenery with his usual bored-looking face, reached out to receive the information from the hell butterfly. His bored-looking face was suddenly replaced into a serious one before he hurried to the Captains Office.
dam dam dam dam~
Shinji could hear that the 1st Division was in commotion as he made his way back. The look on his face became more serious as he realized and the expression on his face became a little more solemn. The situation this time really was dire if even the 1st Division was alarmed.
Kimura! West Rukongai
I know! Muyang immediately put on his Captain Haori and fixed the Zanpakuto around his waist before looking at Hirako Shinji. I will head out.
Attention to all Captain: please head to the 1st Division immediately as an emergency Captains Meeting will be held; Attention to all Captain: please head to the 1st Division immediately as an emergency Captains Meeting will be held.
A Captains Meeting at a time like this? Hirako Shinji hesitantly said.
Shinji, go in my place and tell Captain-Commander about the situation. I cant leave my men in danger. Muyang smiled and patted Shinjis shoulder.
Shua~
Shinji was speechless for a moment after Muyang disappeared, but he immediately came back to his senses and rushed toward the 1st Division. As a Captain, Muyang rushed to his mens rescue, so he must complete the task that Captain entrusted to him as a Lieutenant.
dong!
Captains Meeting now begins, Yamamoto Genrysai said as he glanced at the Captain one by one. According to the 12th Divisions report, an extremely powerful Reiatsu reaction was detected in West Rukongai District 64. Judging from the Reiatsus property, its safe to say that it belongs to Menos, and judging from the Reiatsus intensity, it may be an Adjuchas or even Vasto Lorde!
Oho? Kyraku Shunsui habitually pressed his bamboo hat down. Even Adjuchas rarely made their way to Soul Society, yet this time it might be a Vasto Lorde! What made him even more concerned was that West Rukongai District 64 fell under the 10th Divisions jurisdiction.
Kyraku Shunsui glanced at the empty spot beside him, and his eyes happened to meet Hikifune Kirios. As both their eyes met, they both caught onto the worries in their eyes.
Dong dong dong ~
Yamamoto Genrysai looked towards the door and said solemnly: Come in!
As the gate opened, Hirako Shinji came in, panting, and immediately kneeled before saying, Captain-Commander!
Hm? Yamamoto Genrysai glanced downwards, I didnt remember letting a Lieutenant participate in Captains Meeting.
Chjir Sasakibe immediately explained: Im sorry Captain-Commander, Lieutenant Hirako said that he has an important report to make, so I let him in.
Hm. Yamamoto Genrysai nodded before asking Hirako Shinji solemnly: 10th Division Lieutenant Hirako Shinji, what pressing matter do you have to report to barge into a Captains Meeting? Yamamoto Genrysai noticed that Kyraku Shunsui and Hikifune Kirio were looking at one empty spot, Can you explain why Captain Kimura did not attend this Captains Meeting?
Even someone like Shinji felt the pressure after Yamamoto asked a question. However, he immediately took a deep breath to calm himself down and made his report: I received a report from the 12th Division that a Hollow was sighted at West Rukonai District 64 this morning. According to the report, its just a weak hollow, so I sent our 9th and 14th Seat to deal with the Hollow. However, just now, I received the information that it turns out to be a Menos, and Captain Kimura already head to the scene because hes worried about our 9th and 14th Seat.
After listening to Shinjis report, Yamamoto Genrysais eyes were slightly opened, and he slammed down his crutch: Nonsense! He went by himself without an order. Hell be held accountable after we resolve this problem.
I will now send a Captain and two Lieutenants to West Rukongai District 64 to join Captain Kimura and deal with this matter.
8th Division Captain Kyraku Shunsui, 2nd Division Lieutenant Shihin Yoruichi, 10th Division Lieutenant Hirako Shinji, the three people above are to cooperate with Captain Muyang to defeat the Menos Grande in West Rukongai District 64 and investigate the reason behind its sudden emergence in Soul Society!
As for the rest of the Captains, return to your posts. Dont let your guard down, and be ready for further orders! Dismiss!
Shua~
The Assembly Hall was suddenly empty as everyone returned to their post with a grim look on their face. It couldnt be helped considering the circumstances. It certainly was not something unheard of for a Hollow to wander into Soul Society, but for it to be an Adjuchas or Vasto Lorde was certainly unprecedented. Although Shinigami has fought Hollow for as long as they could remember, they barely knew anything about Hollow. Could this commotion be some sort of a sign?
Captain-Commander even send Captain Kyraku to help Lil Yangyang Is he merely worried about Lil Yangyang, or is there something more to this?
Hikifune Kirio contemplated Yamamoto Genrysais decision. Kyraku Shunsui, after all, was Yamamoto Genrysais disciple and one of the Captains who had served the longest. Hence, his skill was undeniable, and since Yamamoto Genrysai sent him personally, he must have another reason.
-
Captain Kyraku, shouldnt we wait for Lieutenant Shihin?
Shinji couldnt help but ask Kyraku Shunsui this question because he just rushed towards West Rukongai District 64 without waiting for Yoruichi.
Who are you waiting for again?
This voice is
Hirako Shinji turned around in surprise, only to find Yoruichi was already beside him before he knew it, Lieutenant Shihin, since when did you?
Hmph, Yoruichi replied with a smug. I wont fall behind to anyone when it comes to Shunpo.
Now that Lieutenant Shihin has caught up, lets pick up the pace. This is a dire situation, after all. One second can decide everything.
Mhm! Hirako Shinji and Shihin Yoruichi nodded, then the three of them picked up their pace and quickly rushed to West Rukongai District 64.
