Death's Slash

Chapter 96 Retirement
"Communication from the commander-in-chief, Kotsubaki Basemon, the vice-captain of the [-]th Division, has been dismissed from the post of vice-captain, and will be replaced by the former third seat Komamura Sajin."

Aichuan Luowu read out the order from the captain, and in front of him were all the gods of death from the vice-captain of the seventh division to the [-]th seat.

Kotsubaki Basemon and Komamura were at the front, and the remaining 17 people lined up in two rows at the back.

"Now, Tsubaki Baemon will hand over the adjutant Akira to Komamura Zuojin."

Accompanied by Aikawa Luowu's words, Kotsubaki Baemon took off his adjutant badge and handed it to Komamura Zuojin.

Komamura Zuojin took the adjutant badge, tied it on his arm, and performed the handover ceremony.

"From today onwards, Komamura Zuojin will be the vice-captain of the Seventh Division. To become the vice-captain, you must abide by... lead..."

Aikawa Luowu continued to talk about the duties of the vice-captain. After speaking, Komamura Zuojin followed the oath and officially became the vice-captain.

"Let's go."

After the process was over, Aichuan Luowu announced the adjournment of the meeting.

But most of the people did not leave, but looked at the slightly old figure, Tsubaki Basemon, who had been the vice captain for 60 years in the Seventh Division.

All the gods of death here, even Shuichi Minano, was already the vice-captain when he entered the seventh team.

One by one, Reaper died or retired, but he was still the vice-captain.

Everyone respects him and is saddened that he is now retired.

"Xiaotsubaki, you will always be a member of the Seventh Division, and you are welcome to come back here at any time." Aikawa Luowu walked up to Xiaotsubaki Basemon, and said with a serious expression.

"I'll come back and take a look when I have a chance." Xiaotsubaki Baemon said with a smile.

Aichuan Luowu sighed, and said: "I originally prepared a farewell ceremony for you, but you..."

"I said don't do this."

Tsubaki Baemon waved his hand and said, "There is no need for a farewell ceremony, so let me leave alone."

"Ah."

Aichuan Luowu nodded sadly. He was very reluctant to leave this colleague who had worked with him for nearly a hundred years.

However, this is the inevitable result.

He is old and his body is beginning to weaken, and he was formally defeated by Komamura Zuojin not long ago.

His failure, the newcomer's growth, succession, replacement.

Just like the law of all things, reincarnation is endless.

"Everyone, this is my farewell."

Tsubaki Baemon looked at the Shinigami behind him, said something simple, nodded slightly, and walked out of the room.

The moment he walked out, Aichuan Luowu shouted: "Congratulations to Vice Captain Xiaochun."

"Congratulations to Vice Captain Xiaochun."

All the gods of death bowed to Tsubaki Baemon, not only the gods of death in the seat, but also the other gods of death in the seventh team.

But Kotsubaki Basemon turned a deaf ear and left straight away, walking out of the gate of the Seventh Division.

"Master, is it over?"

Xue Xin was carrying a package and stood outside the door.

"Father……"

Xiaotsubaki Sentaro was also standing there, carrying a package on his back.

"It's over." Tsubaki Baemon said in a hoarse voice, his eyes were a little rosy.

How can he not be sad?

Although he simply left without greeting anyone, he left the Seventh Division directly, as if he didn't care about anything.

But how could it not be sad.

This is the team he has lived in for more than 100 years, and it has been more than 60 years just as the vice-captain.

Many gods of death here, he watched the growth of joining the team.

Aichuan Luowu, he has always assisted, and has a deep friendship.

These are his family members, and starting today, they will be separated.

He was very sad, but he didn't want to show it, so he repeatedly rejected the decision of the Seventh Division to hold a farewell ceremony.

Because he was really afraid to cry at the send-off.

"Let's go, come back with me." Tsubaki Baemon said softly.

"Yes."

Yukinobu and Kotsubaki Sentaro quickly replied, followed behind Kotsubaki Renemon, and left with him.

The three of them remained silent and went all the way to the North Third District, to the master's house.

Xuexin paid a visit to his teacher's wife, cleaned up the room with Xiaochun Xiantaro, stayed at home for dinner, and stayed here at night.

In the evening, Xuexin sat in the yard with his master and Xiantaro, poured a bottle of wine, and prepared two small dishes.

"It's the first time I stay at home, but I don't have to go back in a hurry, and I don't have to worry about team affairs. It's really uncomfortable." Tsubaki Baemon said with a sigh.

"It seems that it will take some time for my father to get used to it." Xiantaro said with a smile.

"Yes."

Tsubaki Baemon nodded and said, "I've never lived such a burden-free life."

"Master will not be idle."

Xue Xin said with a smile: "I will often come to Master to ask for advice. At that time, Master should not think that I am annoying."

"I hope you guys will bother me." Tsubaki Baemon said softly.

Xiantaro and Xuexin, one is his son and the other is his apprentice, both are people he cherishes.

Although he left, the friendship will not be broken.

Yukinobu and Sentaro drank some wine with Tsubaki Basemon, but they didn't get drunk, but slept until the sun was up.

On the next morning, Yukinobu and Sendaro left the house and went to the [-]th division.

"It's actually pretty good." Xiantaro said suddenly.

"What's good?" Xue Xin was slightly taken aback, looking at Xiantaro.

Xiantaro said with a smile: "When my father is free, I can spend more time with my mother. From the time I entered the Maou Lingshu Academy to the present, in the past 20 years, my mother has been alone most of the time. Especially after I entered Shisanban , I can only go back once every half a month, the mother is the loneliest."

"exactly."

Xue Xin deeply believed that the loneliest one was actually Sentaro's mother.

Taking care of Sendaro growing up and waiting at home alone, she has paid a lot, and she definitely wants to reunite with her family more.

Master's retirement made him bid farewell to hundreds of years of life, but it also brought him closer to his family again.

This is not a bad thing.

The two returned to Team Thirteen together, and after parting, Xue Xin returned to his office.

But as soon as he walked outside the office, Huche Qingyin greeted him and said, "Vice-captain Xuexin, Captain Aizen from Division [-] is looking for you."

"Captain Aizen looking for me?"

Xue Xin was slightly taken aback, Lan Ran officially became the captain five years ago.

Why did he come to find himself?

Having not acted for so many years made Xue Xin doubt his guess many times.

I thought there would be no contact in a short time, why did he come here?
"Captain Aizen is in the room." Huche Qingyin pointed to the room.

"I see."

Xue Xin nodded, pushed open the door and walked in.

The next moment he saw Aizen Soyousuke wearing the captain's haori standing in front of a painting, quietly observing.

"Captain Aizen." Xue Xin shouted hastily.

Aizen Soyousuke turned his head slowly, looked at Xuexin, and said: "Xuexin, you are back, close the door."

"Yes."

Xue Xin turned and closed the door, the room was plunged into darkness, only Xue Xin and Lan Ran were left.

"Captain Lanran is here, what's the matter?" Xue Xin asked curiously.

Aizen's face suddenly became serious, looked at Xue Xin, and said, "Xue Xin, I found some clues about Kisuke Urahara."
