Chapter 182: Busy Mazuru

After consoling Rangiku, Mazuru returned to the Third Division.

Logically speaking, after establishing a formal relationship with Nanao, Nanao could have been transferred to the Third Division. It just so happens that the position of vice-captain of the Third Division was also vacant, and Shunsui had already accepted Nanao and his realtionship. After talking about the past and the relationship between them, he no longer prevented Nanao and Mazuru from being together as before, and even entrusted Nanao to Mazuru himself.

But in the end, Nanao refused to be transferred to the Third Division.

In the past, it was because of Shunsui's obstruction that she couldn't be transferred, but now it was because of herself. In her words, the distance between the Eighth Division and the Third Division was not much far and that amount of distance would not affect the relationship between her and Mazuru.

Compared with Mazuru's Third Division, the current Eighth Division needed her existence more.

Shunsui as a captain, was a loafer, if she leaves, those team affairs, who knows if Shunsui will ever take care of them or not. As the intelligence division, the Eighth Division was crucial to the entire Gotei 13. Even at that moment, regarding Aizen and his group's rebellion this time, on the surface no one from the Eighth Division had defected, so there should be no problem but it was actually had a part of the blame that's because they were unable to discover such a big hidden danger that was fermenting for such a long time.

In the past, when she didn't know the relationship between Shunsui and her, it was fine. But now that she knows that Shunsui was her uncle, even though he was wretched, lazy, and likes to drink and had all kinds of problems, but he took care of her continuously in the past. So, she had reasons to stay back. Shunsui was so old and had never started a family. He seemed to be single so she had to take care of him out of emotion, reason and filial piety.

So her decision was an expression of her understanding.

Meanwhile, when the relationship between Mazuru and Nanao was getting closer, Ichigo, the ryoka who invaded the Soul Society earlier, was about to embark on his journey back to the world of living. They should have gone back long ago, but Shiba Kaien, the vice-captain of the Thirteenth Division invited him and his friends to stay in their house for a little longer and let them treat them as guest. So they ended up staying at Shiba's house in Rukongai for a few more days at the kind invitation.

Before leaving, Uryuu asked Kaien to let him enter the Seireitei again for a while and came to the Third Division to find Mazuru.

"Captain Mazuru!"

Uryuu bowed to Mazuru and saluted.

"It's you, what's the matter?" Mazuru looked at Uryuu and asked calmly.

Uryuu said, "When Captain Mazuru helped me and Inoue-san previously, he said that he was entrusted by others to help us..."

He mentioned the topic Uryuu was curious from that day.

Kaien who had led Uryuu to the Third Division and was listening quietly at first, suddenly felt a heavy gaze on himself after Uryuu said those words.

Kaien was a smart person. He immediately smiled awkwardly, and left the Third Division very consciously on his own.

After Kaien left, Mazuru nodded to Uryuu's gaze and said, "That's right, the reason I helped you, it's indeed because someone entrusted me with it."

Uryuu asked Mazuru again, "May I ask Captain Mazuru, who is that person?"

At first, he was very curious about this question, and suspected that it was Yoruichi who asked Mazuru. After all, through their understanding, Yoruichi and Mazuru were very familiar with each other. Later, when he asked Yoruichi about it, he found out that it was not her who did it.

That made him even more curious.

"It's a quincy named Ishida Soken."

Mazuru named the person who asked him to take care of Uryuu.

Uryuu who suddenly heard a familiar name, trembled, he was silent for a long time, and then he forced himself to suppress the excitement in his heart, and looked at Mazuru with some expectation, "Is he... all right, now?"

Mazuru said softly, "He is already dead, he died under the hands of Menos Grande."

Uryuu's body trembled again, with a visible sadness on his face.

Mazuru seemed to have thought of the corresponding rhetoric a long time ago, and said calmly, "Because of certain historical factors, the group of quincies were becoming rarer and rarer in the world of living. The few remaining quincy were under the surveillance of Gotei 13."

"Later an accident happened, I discovered that a Menos Grande had appeared in the world of living, so I went to the world of living myself and beheaded Menos Grande. During that process, I met Ishida Soken. Due to him also being one of the monitoring targets of the Soul Society, so I recognized him at that time, but unfortunately, he had fought five Menos Grande alone, and when I arrived, he was already exhausted and his end was already near… But before he died, he kept chanting a name, and then requested me in a very sincere way, he asked me to take a little care of the person whose name he was chanting if I ever meet him."

Facing the extremely sad Uryuu, Mazuru said the name, "The name was... Ishida Uryuu."

"Grandfather"

In the Third Division, Uryuu fell into grief alone.

(T.L Note: I am sure MC likes to mess with people)

After a long time, he woke up from his grief and realized that there were already tears in the corners of his eyes, and Mazuru was still in front of him. His face immediately turned a little red, and he felt very embarrassed.

He wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, got up and bowed to Mazuru, "Thank you Captain Mazuru!" 

He didn't know what happened at that time fully, but there was no doubt that Mazuru fulfilled his grandfather's last wish, which undoubtedly made his grandfather "rest in peace".

"It's no problem at all." Mazuru shook his head, and said to Uryuu, "If there is nothing else, you can leave. Today is the day when you and your group return to the world of living. Your partners are still waiting for you."

"Yes!"

For some reason, after Aizen defected, Mazuru became a sought after man instead.

First, Nanao came to comfort him in the middle of the night, so that he didn't have a good rest. After recovering a little bit, he had to take care of Gin's, the vice-captain's friend and went to comfort Rangiku. After comforting Rangiku, when he finally returned to the Third Division, there were again visitors coming to meet him.

After Kaien and Uryuu left, another person came to the Third Division.

Shihouin Yoruichi.

"This is not a place to talk, let's change to another place and let's chat while drinking." After Yoruichi's arrival, before she could speak, Mazuru spoke first.

Yoruichi froze for a moment, originally she came there to bid farewell to Mazuru.

But Mazuru had said so and it would seem a bit unreasonable not to have a drink with Mazuru anymore. 

(T.L Note: She just wants to drink)

After pondering for a while on the surface, she agreed to Mazuru's proposal.
