Chapter 55 Hinamori Wants to Drink

Chapter 55 Hinamori Wants to Drink
boom!
A loud noise startled Shiba Kaiyan and Xin to the backyard.

The place was shrouded in black smoke, and the strong smell of gunpowder filled the nose. Shiba Soraru, covered in dust and dirt, stood in the smoke, coughing violently. There were many blackened marks on his clothes and skin, and he looked very miserable.

When Kūkaku saw them coming, he walked towards them, coughing, while saying, "Just a little surprise!"

Seeing that she was not seriously injured, Zhibo Haiyan angrily said, "You have blown up our entire home!"

Konghe retorted bluntly: "It's not that serious, it's just a little smokey."

Xin looked at her funny appearance, but was glared back at by Konghe.

"What are you looking at!"

With that, Kūkaku walked past the two of them and went to his room, probably to clean himself up.

The smoke was dissipating little by little, and the ground was covered with scattered black burnt gunpowder. The corners of Zhibo Haiyan's mouth twitched.

He also coughed lightly and said, "Excuse me."

Xin chuckled nonchalantly: "It's quite lively to have a sister like this at home."

It was just before dinner time when Shiba Kūkaku came out clean. She looked like she had taken a shower and changed her clothes. She looked much fresher, but her arms were bandaged with many bandages and bleeding.

Seeing this, Xin said, "I know a little bit about it and can help Miss Shiba deal with it."

Kong He raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking, you are a student of the Spiritual Arts Academy, and you dare to say that you know a little bit of the Tao.

Shiba Kaiyan said, "Shin has already been selected by the 4th Division."

Konghe then stretched out his arm. Xin looked at the area where the bandage had stained a large area red, and thought that there must be a lot of skin broken inside. Just now in the yard, because his body was covered with gunpowder residue, he couldn't see clearly.

However, he didn't even remove the bandage. Instead, his hand shone with the light of Huidao and touched her wound.

"All right."

Xin said.

Shiba Soraru looked doubtful, then gently moved his arm and found that the original tingling suddenly disappeared.

"You... so fast?"

Zhiba Kaiyan was also a little surprised, because Xin's movements just now were too fast, and it was a response he had never seen before.

What Shin used was not Kaidō, but the power of his own Zanpakutō.

"It shouldn't hurt anymore, right?" Xin asked with a chuckle.

Konghe nodded. As a pyrotechnician, she had experienced many accidents like today's, and some were even more serious than today's. She had been sent to the Fourth Division for treatment, but even the Fourth Division could not provide treatment as quickly as Xin.

"It's just to stop the bleeding. The wound will heal slowly." Xin explained.

"...Thanks." Shiba Kūkaku blurted out.

This little brat is quite capable.

【Favourability: 7】

"You're welcome."

Shiba Ganju also brought all the food to the table.

"Has Vice Captain Shiba ever thought about having his younger brothers and sisters attend the Spiritual Arts Academy as well?"

During the meal, Xin mentioned this matter.

Shiba Haiyan smiled and said, "Being a death god is a dangerous job after all. For something like this, only one or two people from a family can do it."

Konghe was eating by himself, seemingly not interested in the topic at all.

Instead, Yanjiu looked up at the two of them.

Judging from the original work, Kūkaku and Ganju are not ordinary people. In addition to the family secret techniques, Kūkaku can also use Kidō. This shows that even if the Shiba family does not go to the Spiritual Arts Institute, they still have a way to become a god of death.

Most of the nobles in Soul Society will not let their children go to the Spiritual Arts Academy. They all have channels to directly send Shinigami to the Thirteenth Team. Although the glory of the Shiba family is not as great as before, they must still have such basic things. What's more, there is now a captain and vice-captain in the Thirteenth Team with the surname Shiba.

However, since Xin mentioned this, he naturally had a purpose: "Shinigami also have many positions that are not on the front lines. And Vice Captain Shiba, have you forgotten that you are the honorary chairman of the student union?"

Zhiba Haiyan was stunned for a moment, and looked at Xin thoughtfully.

At this time, Gan Jiu asked curiously, "Brother, what is the student union?"

Zhiba Kaiyan glanced at his brother and he understood the meaning of the letter.

Now the captain of the 10th Division is his uncle Shiba Isshin, and he himself is the vice-captain of the 13th Division. It can be said that this is the best situation for the Shiba family in a hundred years. If nothing unexpected happens, his future achievements will not stop here. He and his uncle do not have much ambition, but he has always kept the matter of reviving the family in mind.

Xin smiled and explained to Ganjiu, "The Student Union is a newly established organization of the Spiritual Arts Academy. It serves as a link between the school and the students. It is responsible for helping the Spiritual Arts Academy manage the students. The members of the Student Union are also the elite among the students."

Yan Jiu nodded, not quite understanding what he was thinking. He couldn't think too deeply.

Shiba Kaiyan did not make a decision immediately. He felt that he needed to think about it seriously.

He doesn't have any requirements for his younger brothers and sisters. He just hopes that they can live a comfortable and happy life and doesn't want to put too much pressure on them.

According to the letter, if one of Kūkaku or Ganjuu attends the Spiritual Arts Academy, they will be able to join the student council. After all, they are nobles...

Konghe probably won't agree.

That rock vulture...

Ganju asked again, "Isn't Big Brother the vice-captain of the 13th Division? Why is he also the honorary president of the student council?"

Konghe knocked his head with his chopsticks at this time, "Just eat your meal, why are you asking so many questions?"

Yan Jiu shut his mouth in grievance. He had no temper towards his elder sister, and did not dare to show any resistance or disobedience.

Because the eldest sister would really beat him.

Zhibo Haiyan suddenly smiled at the letter: "Why are you suddenly telling me all this? Are you trying to do me another favor?"

Xin immediately said, "Vice Captain Shiba, what are you talking about? I still remember the favor I owed you. Even if Vice Captain Shiba thinks this is a favor, it just offsets what I owed you. It's considered friendly interaction."

Zhibo Haiyan burst into laughter: "You kid!"

Finally, Shiba Ganju couldn't help but ask, "Brother, can I go to the Spiritual Arts Academy now?"

Zhibo Haiyan asked back, "Do you want to go?"

Yan Jiu hesitated, first glanced at his elder sister, then nodded slightly.

Zhibo Haiyan mused, "We'll discuss this matter later."

"Oh."

After dinner, Ganjiu and Kūkaku were going to clean up the backyard, and Shinya offered to help.

"You are a guest, how can I let you do that?"

Ganjiu wanted to refuse, as he had a good impression of Nobuyuki because it was he who suggested that he go to the Spiritual Arts Academy.

His eldest brother and eldest sister never mentioned this matter. Because his eldest brother and uncle were both Shinigami, their family lived in Soul Society and there were not many playmates around. He could not play with the children of the nobles. He had nothing to do at home all day, so he often went to Rukongai to play.

Being able to go to the Spiritual Arts Academy was a novelty for him.

Zhibo Haiyan looked at Xin and said with a smile: "Since Xin doesn't mind, then come along. Anyway, our family doesn't have any decent way to entertain guests."

As the four of them were cleaning up the backyard, Yan Jiu approached Xin again and asked curiously, "Xin-kun, how's things going at the Spiritual Arts Academy?"

Xin smiled and described it to him: "There are nobles in the Spiritual Arts Academy, but most of them are students from Rukongai. You can make a lot of like-minded friends there. Every day we work hard together to study and practice, and become Shinigami together. I think it's a great place."

After hearing this, Yan Jiu became even more interested and asked many questions about the Spiritual Arts Academy.

Kūkaku then came to Shiba Kaiyan's side and asked, "Do you really want Ganju to go to the Spiritual Arts Institute?"

Haiyan said, "Don't you think Yanjiu wants to go too?"

Kong He looked at the two people who were cleaning up and talking there with complicated eyes.

"If you want to go, you can go."

Konghe curled her lips, she was not interested in this.

"Who the hell is that Tachigawa Nobu?"

"He's a very talented junior. I originally wanted him to join my squad or my uncle's squad, but because of his special Zanpakutō, he can only go to the Fourth Squad. But after spending so much time with him, he's a pretty good guy."

Nice guy.

This is a very positive evaluation. Although Shiba Isshin is the captain of the 10th Division, the current head of the Shiba family is Shiba Kaiyan. Although Kūkaku treats his elder brother as rudely as he treats Ganju, he trusts and supports everything his elder brother does in his heart.

Zhibo Haiyan then said, "I'll go back and ask my uncle what he means."

The four of them worked together for a long time before they cleaned up the backyard.

Yanjiu excitedly came to Haiyan and said to him seriously, "Brother, I want to go to the Spiritual Arts Academy!"

Zhibo Haiyan asked, "Have you made up your mind so quickly?"

Ganji nodded seriously: "Brother Xin told me in detail, I have made up my mind."

When Zhiba Kaiyan heard how he addressed Xin, she couldn't help but look strange.

Kong He couldn't help but ask, "You call him Brother Xin? Is he older than you?"

Judging from his appearance, Xin is obviously younger than Ganjiu, and Ganjiu has a strong physique, so he looks like a young man.

Shiba Ganju scratched his head. "I've asked, and Brother Xin said he's actually older than he looks. Besides, Brother Xin is the fifth-year student at the Spiritual Arts Academy and the president of the student council. Even when I enter the academy, I'll have to call him senior."

Konghe felt that his brother had been deceived, and there was a hint of displeasure in his eyes when he looked at Xin.

【Favourability: 6】

Xin suddenly felt troubled. Why did his favorability drop again?

It seems unlikely that I will get a reward from Konghe this time.

Zhibo Haiyan said, "There's no point in being anxious about this. The next enrollment for the Spiritual Arts Academy won't start until next year."

"Oh." Yan Jiu responded with some disappointment.

Back in the living room, Shiba Kaiyan and Xin were sitting there drinking tea and resting.

"I don't want Ganjiu to bear too much, and his temperament may not be able to bear so much."

"Vice-Captain Shiba has misunderstood." Xin shook his head slowly, "Or does Vice-Captain Shiba think that I came here for some purpose?"

Shiba Kaiyan drank her tea calmly.

If Nobuhiro was really attracted by the reputation of the Shiba family, he actually had better options.

His assistant, Rukia Kuchiki, even though she is just an adopted son, has much more power than their Shiba family.

"Forget it," Xin suddenly laughed, "Vice Captain Shiba, just pretend I didn't say anything."

Upon hearing this, Zhiba Haiyan just smiled and said nothing more.

When leaving the Shiba family, Xin sighed silently as he looked at Shiba Kūkaku's still favorable impression.

After all, it is impossible for a stranger to have a good impression of you for no reason. This is also one of the reasons why Xin wanted to establish the student union.

Rukia and Hinamori are not from the same class as him. Without the student union as a bond, he would not be able to actively seek out these two people to chat every day.

Shiba Kūkaku is neither in the Spiritual Arts Academy nor in the Thirteenth Squad. If you want to do something with her, you can only slowly build up friendly relationships with the people around her.

This is how he treats everyone. After he graduates from the Spiritual Arts Academy, there will definitely be some distance between him and Hinamori and Rukia, and it will be almost impossible for them to be together day and night.

Although he might meet some new people, he was very envious of the reward of the "Wedge of Death".

Decades may sound like a long time, but for a species like the Grim Reaper that has a long life span, it is just a blink of an eye.

#
In the Student Union headquarters office, a group of student union members are still busy sorting out the list.

Since the interest clubs started, the number of people applying to join the Spiritual Arts Academy has exceeded everyone's imagination.

Most students from classes one to six want to join, which also leads to a problem, because there are only a few clubs in total.

By this calculation, the number of people in each club exceeds 100.

"so tired."

After finishing her part of the work, Hinamori couldn't help but scream and stretched herself.

Hisagi Shuhei glanced out the window at the already darkening sky, thought for a moment, and then said, "Everyone has worked hard, you can go home now. We can do the remaining work tomorrow. When the president returns, he will reward everyone."

Hinamori Momo put her hand on her cheek and complained, "I haven't seen the president all day. He left us with so much work. I don't know what he's been doing."

Rukia said, "The president must have his own things to do."

Hinamori glanced at her and just curled her lips.

Dusk had fallen and the sky was a deep blue.

The two girls walked out of the office building together, looked at the quiet campus, and said goodbye to their classmates.

"It's time for me to go back too." Rukia said to Hinamori.

"See you tomorrow then..."

Hinamori just raised her hand with a smile, her eyes suddenly lit up when she saw something, and she stopped waving goodbye and turned to greet the figure behind Rukia.

"President!"

Xin had just returned and saw the student union members leaving.

Hinamori left Rukia and trotted over to Nobu.

"President, I haven't seen you all day today. Where have you been?"

Rukia was still standing there, and she couldn't help but pursed her lips as she looked at Hinamori's back, then she slowly walked over.

"President."

"I have some things to do, what about you guys?"

Hinamori immediately said, "We're busy too. We're exhausted from all the club stuff!"

"Thank you for your hard work. Let us treat everyone to a meal."

Xin said this and was about to greet everyone who was leaving.

Rukia then said, "President, we have already eaten. Well, I should go back too."

"Okay, see you tomorrow."

Rukia bowed slightly, turned around and walked towards the gate of the Spiritual Arts Academy.

Hinamori tilted her head when she saw her leave like that, then smiled and said to Xin: "President, I've been busy for so long, I'm a little hungry again."

Xin laughed: "Then ask everyone if they want to eat together."

Hinamori pouted and said, "Everyone has left..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiubing finally walked out.

"Xiubing, let's go get a midnight snack together?"

Just as Xiubing was about to say "OK", he saw Hinamori looking at him eagerly beside Xin.

He immediately said, "I'm not hungry."

After saying that, he walked away without looking back.

Hinamori's face suddenly lit up with joy, and she grabbed Nobu's arm with both hands: "President, shall we go eat outside the school?"

"The school doesn't allow people to go out casually, and it's so late."

"It doesn't matter, you are the president!"

"What about you? How do you get back to the dormitory?"

Hinamori paused when she heard that, and lowered her voice a bit: "Our dorm manager is very easy to talk to..."
