10th Division.
While Toshiro and Shusuke were discussing the Kumoi matter with Yamamoto at the 1st Division, Rurichiyo and her group, led by Momo, continued to stroll around the 10th Division.
Until the Kumoi matter was resolved, they did not plan to leave the 10th Division. Of course, this was Kenryu and Enryu's decision. Rurichiyo was unaware, still thinking that coming to the 10th Division was just to play with Toshiro.
After walking around for a while, Momo, Rurichiyo, and the others sat down to rest in a pavilion.
"Mm, the environnt of your 10th Division is quite nice."
Rurichiyo praised.
"Of course. Shiro-chan places great importance on the environnt. He said a good environnt makes people feel comfortable, which is conducive to better work. So the environnt of the 10th Division is among the best in the Gotei 13."
Momo said proudly.
"Hmph, can you stop calling him 'Shiro-chan' all the ti? It makes it seem like you have such a good relationship with Toshiro."
Rurichiyo said in a very annoyed tone.
"I... I am Shiro-chan's lover. Of course, our relationship is very good!"
Although her personality was relatively gentle, Momo still mustered the courage to loudly retort to Rurichiyo.
Momo could concede on other matters, but she could not concede on matters concerning Toshiro, especially since she could tell that Rurichiyo had a good impression of him.
"Lover? Don't be too arrogant, you Auntie!"
Rurichiyo said through gritted teeth, word by word.
"A-A-Aun... Auntie!"
Momo looked as if she had been struck by lightning.
"That's right! Judging by your appearance, you should be quite a bit older than Toshiro and . Isn't that 'Auntie'?"
Rurichiyo specifically emphasized the word 'Auntie'.
Momo trembled all over with anger: "I... I am not..."
"Hey, don't you think you're being too selfish, Hinamori Momo?"
Rurichiyo suddenly had a flash of inspiration and interrupted Momo.
"Selfish?"
Momo asked puzzledly.
"That's right. A hero like Toshiro, a prince among n, is only worthy of a noble princess like . Being with an ordinary Shinigami like you simply degrades Toshiro's status."
Rurichiyo said matter-of-factly.
Momo shouted loudly: "What are you saying! Shiro-chan doesn't care about things like status and position at all! He's not that kind of person!"
"That's why I call you selfish. Toshiro is the Vice-Captain-Commander of the Gotei 13, Captain of the 10th Division, and the next Captain-Commander. His status and position are extrely noble. How could you possibly be worthy of him?"
"Moreover, being with you is fundantally of no help to Toshiro. I, on the other hand, am different. I am the princess of the Kasumioji Clan, second only to the Four Great Noble Families. Being with Toshiro would be a perfect match in terms of social status."
"Furthermore, for Toshiro, with the help of the Kasumioji Clan, he can greatly increase his prestige in the Seireitei, which is beneficial for him to better take over the Gotei 13 in the future, isn't it?"
"Personally, Toshiro and I are similar in age, well-matched in social status, and even our eye color is the sa. We are a match made in heaven."
"Career-wise, with the help of the Kasumioji Clan, Toshiro can further advance in both prestige and power."
"No matter how you look at it, I am the most suitable person for Toshiro."
"So give up, Hinamori!"
"Only by giving up Toshiro and letting him be with is the best choice, isn't it, Hinamori Momo!"
Rurichiyo pressured Momo aggressively.
"I... I..."
Momo's face paled, and she couldn't speak.
Momo was originally gentle-natured. Earlier, she had only mustered the courage to retort to Rurichiyo because it involved Toshiro.
But now, after Rurichiyo's long speech, Momo actually felt that what she said made sense.
Being with him, she could at most take care of Toshiro's daily life and help him with docunts. When encountering major events, not only could she not help Toshiro, but she often held him back.
Thinking of this, Momo's face grew paler, and she wavered even more, 'Perhaps Shiro-chan being with Rurichiyo was the best choice... Shiro-chan is so outstanding. Soone like ... soone like probably doesn't deserve to be with him at all...'
"I... I..."
"Don't give up so easily, Hinamori!!"
Just as Momo was about to speak, a loud shout suddenly ca.
"Rangiku-nee..."
Momo looked in surprise at Rangiku approaching.
"Yare yare, I'm gone for just a mont, and this happens. Good grief."
Rangiku scratched her head irritably.
"Rangiku-nee, how did you get here?"
Momo asked.
However, Rangiku paid no attention to Momo and walked straight up to Rurichiyo.
"Hey! Princess of the Kasumioji Clan, right? Let tell you, I don't care what noble you are, Captain belongs to Hinamori!"
"Captain and Hinamori are childhood friends who grew up together. Their feelings for each other are not sothing you can undermine with a few words!"
Rangiku looked at Rurichiyo very seriously.
"How dare you! Who are you to be so disrespectful to Rurichiyo-sama!"
Before Rurichiyo could speak, Kenryu stepped in front of her.
"Listen carefully. I am the other Lieutenant of the 10th Division… Matsumoto Rangiku!"
Rangiku did not back down.
"A Lieutenant? Can a Lieutenant be so rude to the princess of the Kasumioji Clan?"
Kenryu frowned.
Rangiku was amused and angered: "Heh, rude? I think the rude ones are you! This is our 10th Division. What are your intentions by so openly trying to sabotage the relationship between Hinamori and Captain?"
"Oh, that's right. I rember the princess of the Kasumioji Clan already has a fiancé, doesn't she? As the princess's guardian, is it really okay for you to just let her run her mouth like this?"
Rangiku looked at Kenryu playfully.
"Well..."
Kenryu's montum faltered. He was at a loss for words.
"Hmph, please keep a good eye on your princess and don't let her talk nonsense. Captain isn't here right now, and we still have work to handle in the 10th Division. We don't have ti to play with you. Do as you please."
"Hinamori, let's go."
With that, Rangiku directly pulled Momo and left the place.
Watching Rangiku's retreating figure, Rurichiyo, who had been shielded behind Kenryu, exploded.
"Hey! You 'big milk cow', 'old woman'! How dare you walk away! Saying you're going to teach a lesson! You have so nerve!"
Hearing Rurichiyo's words, Rangiku, who was pulling Hinamori Momo away in the distance, couldn't help but pause, her shoulders shaking slightly, as if trembling with anger.
But Rangiku did not argue with Rurichiyo. After pausing for a mont, she continued to pull Momo away from there.
Seeing Rurichiyo still shouting and yelling, Kenryu couldn't help but feel a bit tired and said, "Rurichiyo-sama, they are already far away. Let's go too."
"Hmph!"
Rurichiyo snorted at Kenryu and then angrily walked towards her temporary room in the 10th Division. At this point, no one was in the mood to continue strolling.
"Rurichiyo-sama..."
Kenryu and Enryu called out and quickly followed.
