Chapter 255: Resignation
(Ryoto's pov)
It has been a long time since I rested like that. It was... great. Really great. But now relaxation time is over, and another Captain meeting, and I can feel the incoming annoyance that I'll experience there. Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m
Let's just get over it.

*SLAM*
Yama-jii slammed his wooden staff against the floor as he always does at the beginning of all the meetings.
"We are upholding this meeting as another update came up from the ongoing case of disappearances in the Rukongai districts.
An anonymous informator left evidence that, after careful investigation, led us to believe that the culprit was none other than Kisuke Urahara, now ex-captain of Squad 12. It was discovered that he was conducting experiments on innocent souls with the help of Tessai Tsukabishi, now ex-Kido Corps commander. They didn't stop at them as three nights ago, they started using Soul Reapers as well, and some of his victims included the Captain of Squad 5, Shinji Hirako, Captain of Squad 3, Rojuro Otoribashi, Captain of Squad 10, Love Aikawa and Captain of Squad 9, Kensei Muguruma. Not to mention 3 Vice-Captains.
After being confined and judged by Central 46, he was unfortunately rescued by an unknown individual who was recently identified as Yoruichi Shihoin, now ex-captain of Squad 2 and ex-commander of the Stealth Corps.
We lost 6 captains, 3 lieutenants, and both Grand and Vice Kido Chief. It's a crisis that hasn't happened in a long time.
As of today, I declare that all of these previously mentioned are criminals!" Yama-jii glanced at me when he said that.
"What about the victims? If they somehow survived the so-called hollowfication, what should we do about them?" One of the captains asked.
"Before Kisuke Urahara was rescued, Central 46 declared that all of the individuals that went through hollowfication will be treated strictly as Hollows and dealt with as such."
There was a solemn silence in the hall until the current Kenpachi decided to speak up.
"As always, a bunch of weaklings can't do anything right. If I was sent there, that whole incident wouldn't even happen." He said as he was scratching his belly. "And speaking of all these weaklings, maybe we should dispose of another captain. For all we know, the closed eyes, glasses-wearing freak could be a spy for Kisuke Urahara."
Kiganjo continued talking as I allowed him... for now.
"He was, after all, close with the three traitors. We don't know what he is planning. For all we know, even his children could be-"
She stretched out her pinkie finger, telling me to promise her with a pinkie promise, and so I did precisely that.
After Rangiku left with a big smile on her face.
"You spoil her too much."
"Do I, though? Do I really?" I inquired to Rin.
"Yes."
I don't want to be part of this conversation anymore.
"Conveniently, I have another topic that needs to be addressed, Rin, so let's not accuse someone of giving love to his daughter, and let's focus on something completely different."
Am I shameless? Yes. Do I care? I wouldn't be shameless if I did.
"Sure, let's go with that. So why did you want Rangiku-chan to leave?" Rin started preparing a coffee for both of us as I sat at the table.
"I'm saving your motherly persona because what I'm going to tell you is going to make you lose it." Rin wasn't even fazed by my statement.
"After the last time, you shocked me about the whole complicated plan of yours and the traitor. I doubt that anything you say will be able to shock me."
She was pretty confident of it.
"I'm resigning from my position as a captain of Squad 7."
"... What?"
