Death: Captain Millennium

In the deep and quiet night of Soul Society, the Eighth Division is brightly lit, and an impromptu social gathering is being held. During the day, Lin Yu alarmed the captains of the Gotei 13 with his powerful Shikai. Originally, Bayunzhai was planning to host a banquet for the captains of each division after Lin Yu learned Shikai, but he didn't expect him to make such a big noise. After the captains of each division arrived, Bayunzhai proposed to hold a banquet, which was also to celebrate Lin Yu's acquisition of Shikai.

"Cheers! Lin Yu, this delicacy you invented is so delicious. What on earth is going on in your head? I really want to slice up your brain and study it, ah ah ah!" Captain Zenjoji Arihime of the 12th Division spoke while eating.

"Are all the people in the 12th Division crazy? They shouldn't have established a Technology Development Bureau yet. Why do they all like to research this and that?" Lin Yu, who was raising his glass, suddenly froze.

"If you can't speak, just shut up and let me eat your meat." The captain of the 5th Division, Obana Danjiro, said to Zenjoji Arihime without any hesitation.

"Captain Obana really doesn't understand humor."

"Humor, fart humor!"

Then the two captains started bickering with each other. When Lin Yu was still worried about the two captains arguing, Bayunzhai pulled him aside and whispered, "Don't worry about them. These two have been bickering for hundreds of years. You'll just get used to it."

"Everyone..." Captain Yamamoto spoke.

The captains all sat upright, waiting for the captain's instructions.

"Well, there's no need to be so serious! The Gotei 13 haven't been so festive in a long time. Today is a happy day thanks to Bayunsai's invitation and the hot pot invented by Lin Yu. Let's have a drink together!" The captains, who thought the captain was going to say something about maintaining the peace of Soul Society and for the glory of the Gotei 13, all laughed out loud.

"It seems that the captain is also very happy today." Lin Yu hurriedly toasted the captain again.

The lifespan of a Shinigami is incredibly long. In this still somewhat chaotic era, captains spend most of their time on missions, leading rather ordinary lives. Although those present are all captains of the Gotei 13, considered Soul Society's top fighters, they too face the risk of falling. These troubled times are a fascinating yet perilous one. Survival of the fittest, the cruelty of evolution unabashedly on display at this moment. Being able to sit together in such a joyful gathering is truly a rare achievement.

Amidst the laughter, everyone raised their glasses. Lin Yu looked at these respectable captains, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, the captains began to chat, talking about their experiences and sharing interesting stories from the battle.

"By the way, Lin Yu." Captain Yamamoto suddenly looked at him, "Now that you have learned the Shikai, it's time to shoulder your responsibilities as a Shinigami. Is it detrimental to your growth to be under the protection of Bayunsai?"

Lin Yu was slightly stunned, then said firmly: "I understand, Captain. I will use this power to maintain the order of Soul Society and protect the people around me! After learning Kidō and Hakuto, I plan to go to Hueco Mundo to further hone my Shikai and prepare for my own training."

Captain Yamamoto nodded with satisfaction: "Very good! You are exactly what I like, Lin Yu."

At this moment, a breeze blew by, bringing a slight chill. But in this lively atmosphere, everyone's heart was filled with hope and fighting spirit.

Captain Saito, slightly tipsy, leaned over to Lin Yu and said teasingly, "Lin Yu, how far have you and Bayunzhai progressed? I heard about your injury. Bayunzhai bravely rushed back to Seireitei with you in her arms, even guarding you even when you were unconscious. You don't often see her looking so anxious."

"That's not the case, Captain Saito. Bayunzhai is just caring about his subordinates. There's nothing wrong between us!" Lin Yu argued with a red neck, "Captain Saito, you've had too much to drink!"

"Ah, ah! I heard something, 'Ya. Kumo. Sai'." Captain Saito recited it word by word. "It's reached such an intimate level. Lin Yu, you know, besides the captain, me, and Unohana, if anyone in the entire Gotei 13 dares to call her by her name, she would have drawn her knife and chopped them down. Don't you agree? Yachiryu."

"It's true, Xiaolin Yu." Captain Unohana looked at Saito kindly, as if she was very dissatisfied with dragging her into this.

"Captain Saito, you must have drunk too much. I was talking about Captain Bayunzhai just now." Lin Yu was still making weak excuses.

"Are you shy, little Linyu? Otherwise, I'll get Bayunzhai drunk tonight, hehe..." Saito was still teasing Linyu with a wicked smile on his face.

I don’t know if it was because he was drunk or shy, but at this moment Lin Yu’s face was as red as a monkey’s butt, it couldn’t be redder.

"Hey! You two... stop bullying Lin Yu. If you keep talking, I'll pick up my knife and chop you up." Perhaps it was because he drank too much, Bayunzhai, who usually spoke very little, started talking a lot. The three of them argued over the topic of 'Lin Yu' until their faces turned red and their necks became thick.

"I didn't say anything about your Lin Yu. Go ahead and argue with Saito, but don't blame me." When Bayunzhai and Saito were arguing fiercely, Unohana suddenly interrupted.

"Ah! I can't stand it! I can't stand it!" I want to duel with you. "Draw your swords, Saito, Yachiryu. Today, either I kill you two, or you kill me. Come on!"

Lin Yu hurriedly hugged Bayunzhai and said, "Calm down, Bayunzhai, you've had too much to drink. If you have anything to say, we can talk about it tomorrow. Be obedient."

"Ah! Let me go, I'm going to kill these two bastards who are talking nonsense." Bayunzhai, who was hugged by Lin Yu, was still struggling.

"Tsk!" Saito and Unohana sneered at the same time.

"Just go ahead and act, you two! I'll be here watching you perform until you're done." Saito didn't forget to finish off the attack.

"Angry women are really scary." This thought popped into the head of the captain who was watching the game.

As the frolicking ended, the captains began to drink again. As the night wore on, the captains of each team said goodbye. The time spent together was always short-lived, and soon, only Lin Yu and Bayunzhai were left in the 8th Division.

"Lin Yu, come and talk to me. What kind of person do you think I am?" The drunk Bayunzhai looked at the man he picked up from Rukongai.

"You were the first person I met when I first arrived in Soul Society. Initially, I thought you were just a powerful Shinigami who brought me to the Soul Society because of my talent. But after spending these days together, I've come to think you're a gentle person. I can't quite put my finger on whether I like you or what I feel about you, Bayunzhai. What do you think, Captain?" Lin Yu turned and looked at Bayunzhai beside him. He didn't know when Bayunzhai had fallen asleep.

"Really? I don't know if you heard what I just said." Looking at Bayunzhai sleeping soundly, Lin Yu pinched her cheeks. It was soft and warm. Bayunzhai subconsciously grabbed Lin Yu's hand and leaned on him. "You are so cute like this."

Lin Yu drank a few more cups alone. The night breeze blew in from the open door of the captain's office. Sleepiness and the alcohol took over, and Lin Yu fell asleep with Bayunzhai...
