Looking at the resentful Koga Kuchiki, Shin ended his life with a single slash.
"Alright, Koga Kuchiki is dead. Just bring his body back," Shin said, turning to Yoruichi.
Yoruichi's mouth twitched, and she couldn't help but ask, "Don't tell you expect to carry the body?"
"Congratulations, you guessed right," Shin said with a smile.
"I was the one who took him down, after all. It took a lot out of . You wouldn't just stand there and do nothing, would you?"
Shin said with a light chuckle. After a mont of hesitation, Yoruichi went over and picked up Koga's body.
"Let's go back."
Shin opened a spatial gate with Yomotsu Hirasaka and stepped through. Using a Senkaimon was too slow for his liking.
Yoruichi, having gone through the gate several tis, was used to it. She followed Shin without hesitation.
"I can't believe the mission was completed so quickly. I thought it would take a lot longer," Yoruichi couldn't help but say.
She had expected it to be a drawn-out affair, searching for a single Soul Reaper in all of Hueco Mundo. She never thought Shin would be so efficient, finding Koga Kuchiki so easily. She was glad—she didn't want to spend any more ti in Hueco Mundo than necessary.
"Co with to the First Division."
Shin led Yoruichi to the First Division barracks. The guards didn't dare stop them—he was a captain, after all.
"Old Man, I'm here to turn in the mission report." Shin pushed open the door and walked into the First Division office.
"..." Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni's brow furrowed slightly, but he said nothing, seemingly unconcerned with Shin's casual address.
"This guy resisted, so I had to put him down," Shin said, pointing at Koga's body.
"I'm surprised you completed the mission so quickly." Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni glanced at Shin, then had Chōjirō Sasakibe go and inform Ginrei Kuchiki.
"Wait here for a mont," Yamamoto said to Shin.
"Since I took down Koga Kuchiki, shouldn't there be so kind of reward?"
Shin asked. A reward was only fair, even if it was just money. Shin didn't mind.
"What reward do you need for doing your duty as a mber of the Gotei 13?"
Yamamoto, ever the miser, was clearly not planning to part with a single coin. The Seireitei's reconstruction required a great deal of money, and the great noble clans weren't willing to contribute. Where was he supposed to get the money?
Not long after, Ginrei Kuchiki arrived. Seeing Koga's body, a flicker of sadness crossed his eyes before he looked at Shin.
"Don't look at . I already gave him a chance. It's a sha he didn't take it."
Shin wasn't afraid of Ginrei's anger. He had never promised to bring Koga back alive.
"Koga brought this upon himself," Ginrei said with a straight face.
Though he felt sorrow, he appeared cold and detached. Shin couldn't help but click his tongue.
"Well, my work here is done."
Shin left with Yoruichi. Neither Yamamoto nor Ginrei stopped them.
"Captain-Commander Yamamoto, may I take Koga's body back with ?" Ginrei asked.
"You may." Yamamoto didn't make things difficult. Koga's body was of no value now. Since he was dead, it was all over.
Ginrei left with Koga's body.

"Shin, do you think that old man Ginrei will hold a grudge against you?" Yoruichi asked Shin.
"How would I know? I'm not him. So what if he does? If he wants to hold a grudge, let him."
Shin waved his hand dismissively. Even if that old man did hold a grudge, Shin had nothing to fear. In terms of strength or anything else, there was no reason to be afraid of Ginrei Kuchiki.
"You're probably the only one who isn't afraid of him. Any other captain would be wary of Ginrei Kuchiki," Yoruichi said.
After all, besides being the captain of the Sixth Division, he was also the head of the Kuchiki Clan. With that status, few would dare to disrespect him. He was a veteran Soul Reaper who had been a captain for a long ti, on par with soone like Retsu Unohana.
"Are you forgetting about strength? With my power, why should I be afraid of Ginrei Kuchiki? It would be strange if I were."
Shin raised his hand and lightly tapped Yoruichi on the head.
"...Hey, strength isn't everything in the Seireitei," Yoruichi couldn't help but remind Shin.
"My apologies, but with this kind of strength, one really can do whatever they want."
Shin believed in the power of his fists. He could crush any opposition. If soone wasn't convinced, he'd just beat them until they were.
"Fine, I know I can't win an argunt with you."
Yoruichi gave Shin a frustrated look, knowing it was pointless to argue.
———————————
When they returned to the Second Division barracks, Retsu Unohana was there. Shin had asked her to look after the Second Division.
"You're back already." Unohana was a bit surprised to see Shin return so quickly.
"You know my strength. Is it really that strange for to be back so soon?" Shin said with a smile, taking a seat.
"Captain Unohana, I think the mbers of the Fourth Division might be crying right now," Yoruichi said to Unohana.
Hearing this, Unohana just smiled faintly and said to Yoruichi, "Actually, I'd rather see you cry."
Hearing Unohana's words, Yoruichi's heart stirred. She clenched her fists and looked at Unohana, who, of course, saw everything.
Unohana smiled gently and asked, "Would you like to have another sparring session with ?"
"I'm not in good shape right now. Maybe so other ti. Besides, aren't you a little old to be bullying ?" Yoruichi retorted.
She was no match for Unohana. Though she hated to admit it, this woman was as strong as a monster.
