I'm in Bleach, starting with Unlimited Blade Works.

Seeing Byakuya's reaction, Erin simply smiled.

Bankai - Osmanthus Sword!

"Memory Liberation!"

"boom!"

That day, Byakuya's eyes were filled with an endless expanse of golden osmanthus blossoms...

Chapter 71 Dismissal

"Dong dong dong dong..."

"Dong dong dong dong..."

Early in the morning, the tranquil Seireitei was suddenly awakened by a series of alarms.

However, as everyone knows from this warning, it is not an emergency, but merely a signal to convene a meeting of the captains of the 13th Division of the Imperial Guard.

At the Kuchiki residence, Kuchiki Ginryu's body swayed slightly upon hearing the warning.

This day has finally come.

As soon as she stepped out of the room, Kuchiki Ginryu saw her youngest daughter and son-in-law waiting outside.

"Father-in-law."

"Father."

Erin and Haruko bowed respectfully to Ginryu Kuchiki.

"Father-in-law, thank you for your tolerance and understanding of your son-in-law over the years."

Having lived together for five years, the Kuchiki family home was Erin's most familiar "home" besides the Second Division barracks.

In addition, apart from the elders, everyone in the Kuchiki family—whether it was Kuchiki Ginrin's tolerance, Haruko's gentleness, or Kuchiki Byakuya's filial piety—made Erin feel the warmth of family.

Especially the rotten wood silver bell.

When Kuchiki Ginrei was looking for a husband for Kuchiki Haruko, she wanted someone to take care of the Kuchiki family after her death.

However, Erin ultimately went against his wishes and chose to live with Haruko in the modern world.

Kuchiki Ginrin, too, chose her daughter over her family, allowing Erin and Kuchiki Haruko to go to the mortal world to heal their wounds.

It's conceivable that after Erin's departure, Kuchiki Ginrei would resume her positions as head of the Kuchiki family and captain of the Sixth Division to prevent the elders of the Kuchiki clan from gossiping about Erin and Haruko.

For Kuchiki Ginryu, who was on his deathbed, this would only hasten his demise.

Even so, he didn't say anything to Erin and the other person.

"Haruko, you should stay home and spend more time with Byakuya. I'll go to the captain's meeting with Erin this time."

"Yes, father."

I sincerely hope that my father is well.

After bowing to Kuchiki Ginryu again, Kuchiki Haruko returned home, intending to spend some more time with Kuchiki Byakuya.

Perhaps, starting today, this is the last time she will spend with her family...

"Let's go."

"Yes, father-in-law."

Following behind Kuchiki Ginryu, Erin noticed for the first time that Kuchiki Ginryu's steps had become somewhat unsteady.

"Ugh……"

With a sigh, Erin could only console himself.

With him in the Kuchiki family, at least Haruko was able to survive, and Byakuya was growing up faster under his tutelage than he remembered.

At the very least, my father-in-law won't have to suffer the pain of losing two sons.

At least, I've only gone to the present world; I'm not dead yet.

Over the past three months, those in Seireitei should have been able to estimate their own strength.

In this way, even if he is not in Soul Society, other nobles who want to harm the Kuchiki family will have to consider whether they can withstand his retaliation.

Amidst Erin's chaotic thoughts, Kuchiki Ginrin and Erin arrived at the First Division and entered the conference room.

The other captains all showed surprised expressions upon seeing the retired captain of the Sixth Division.

It seems that today's captains' meeting is related to the Sixth Division.

"Boom!"

After the captains arrived, Captain-Commander Yamamoto tapped the ground with his cane: "Sixth Division Captain, Kuchiki Erin."

"Captain."

Upon hearing Captain-Commander Yamamoto call his name, Erin stepped out of the ranks and stood in the center of the conference room.

"Humph."

"Captain Erin, are you aware of the several prohibitions I have issued in order to maintain the stability of Seireitei?"

"One of them is that captains are prohibited from releasing their Zanpakuto within the Seireitei."

"know."

"Then tell me, what have you been doing at the Kuchiki family's house for the past three months?"

"Captain-Commander, because my Bankai ability has a certain auxiliary effect on training, I have been teaching my nephew Kuchiki Byakuya for the past three months."

"Teaching while using Bankai?"

"Yes."

Captain-Commander Yamamoto glanced at Erin with surprise.

Was this guy abandoned by the Kuchiki family?

Because Bankai's abilities are effective in aiding training, Kuchiki Ginrin had him assist Kuchiki Byakuya in his training. Once he had achieved success, she kicked him aside to make way for Kuchiki Byakuya.

Pity.

Captain-Commander Yamamoto imagined some of the sordid aspects of the nobility. Although he had known Kuchiki Ginrin for hundreds of years, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni was well aware of the nature of the nobility.

However, in the more than a thousand years since Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni knew the secret of the "Spirit King," he did not take action against those nobles. Now that Yamamoto has transformed from an "assassin" into a "guardian," he naturally will not take action against the nobles either.

Because this is the will of the "Spirit King".

Betrayed by the five noble families, having his limbs severed, eyes gouged out, heart removed, internal organs ripped out, and more flesh and blood stripped away to weaken his own power, the Soul King, with his strength, could easily rise up in rebellion and wipe out the five noble families and even all existence.

But even in the face of such cruelty, the Spirit King did not resist. Therefore, everyone knew that all of this was the Spirit King's own will.

The Soul Society is founded on "evil".

The nobles are the greatest source of evil in Soul Society.

It was Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni who formed the Gotei 13, and after almost slaughtering everyone in the Soul Society, he managed to curb the spread of evil among the Soul Society nobles within the Seireitei under the name of "Gotei".

However, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni also felt that since the Spirit King did not resist, he must have seen a certain future and chosen to let those people push the world toward that future.

"It's good that you admitted it."

"Sinner Erin, you have violated the Seireitei's prohibition against captains being released within the Seireitei, and you have remained unmoved despite repeated attempts by the head of the Kuchiki family to stop you, knowingly committing a crime."

"Hereby, in the name of the Captain-Commander of the Gotei 13, I hereby strip you of your position as Captain of the 6th Division. Do you accept this?"

"what?"

Captain-Commander Yamamoto's words shocked the captains present.

"Oh my, oh my, this is really..."

Kyoraku Shunsui gently pulled down his straw hat, glanced at Yamamoto and Kuchiki out of the corner of his eye, and refrained from offering his opinion.

Unohana Retsu narrowed her eyes, her smile froze slightly, and her hands, which were wrapped around her abdomen and covered by her wide sleeves, tightened.

what a pity……

Originally, she wanted to test her strength after her return to the Dao through years of cultivation with Erin, to see if she had reached a point where she wouldn't disappoint that man from years ago to the point of unconsciously lowering her strength to accommodate him...

The other team leaders also exclaimed in surprise.

It's important to know that the captains of the Gotei 13 are essentially figures standing at the pinnacle of Seireitei.

Since the establishment of the Gotei 13, there have only been captains who died in battle or retired; there has never been a captain who was "dismissed."

Chapter 72 Farewell

But today, Erin will become the first captain to be "dismissed".

In a sense, it also nailed Erin to the pillar of shame for the captain.

Would someone as powerful as Erin be willing to have her identity and status stripped away?

Thinking of this, the captains had already placed their hands on the Zanpakuto at their waists.

If Erin resists, they will unleash their Zanpakuto immediately.

Otherwise, based on the spiritual pressure that everyone has sensed from Captain Erin during this time, there are probably very few captains present who could fight Erin.

However, to their surprise, Erin did not refuse Captain-Commander Yamamoto's verdict.

"Captain, it is only right that you should be punished for violating the order."

"Not to mention, you've given me three months to correct it."

"I fully accept the punishment you have given me."
