Chapter 228: Why Lisa Reads R-18 Books?

When Mazuru woke up, it was already noon. He looked at the time and realized that he had slept for quite a while. Last night, he finally didn't go to Orihime's house to disturb her but instead brought her to Sado's house and threw her on the bed of another independent room and he himself went to sleep in another room.

He knew for a fact that Rangiku was still sleeping like a dead-pig and he needed to wake her up otherwise she will continue to sleep. He went to the other room and awakened her.

"Rangiku, wake up! We have work to do."

Rangiku who was sleeping soundly was stunned for a moment, and then woke up with a resentful look, but then she was suddenly surprised looking around and realizing that she was not in Orihime's house.

She looked at Mazuru with an embarrassed face and asked, "Captain Mazuru… could it be that… we…"

Mazuru stopped her before she said further, "What the hell is going on in your mind all day long! You had passed out drunk yesterday night! Place yourself in my position, I, a dignified captain of Gotei 13 bringing you to Orihime's house while my subordinates and even the substitute shinigami Kurosaki Ichigo were fighting hollows in night, what would my image be in their minds?"

"I…"

Rangiku was speechless. Indeed, a male captain of Gotei 13 brought over a drunk female vice-captain while the members of his squad were guarding against hollows. No matter how you look at it, it would give people a bad impression.

"Then… I… here?"

"This is Sado's house. I explained him yesterday night, fortunately he is a man of few words and understands complications quite well. As for what you are thinking, don't worry, I haven't done anything. If I had done something, haven't you realized it, after all, it is your own body."

"Ah! Yes, yes, sorry captain. I shouldn't have asked this kind of thing."

Rangiku realized that Mazuru was indeed correct, if something had happened yesterday night, she must have felt some kind of physical discomfort but clearly there was no such thing other than the mild headache due to the hangover.

"Also call me Mazuru from now on. We have been friends for a long time. No need to be formal always."

After freshening-up, the two slowly left from there, and then went to meet up with Ichigo and others.

It seemed that because Mazuru personally went to find Ichigo the previous day and told that his friend were worried about him, so that day Ichigo went to school. Of course, although he was going to school, but in fact, he couldn't stay in school because as usual something happened and he immediately turned into a shinigami and went to deal with the sudden appearance of hollows.

Previously, Rangiku also took up the identity of a student earlier as it seemed that she was very interested in the real schools that were in the world of living, so she stayed at the school after meeting up with Ichigo and others.

With the means of the Soul Society, if Mazuru wanted to enter the school, he could have also easily tampered with the memory of the school leaders and then snuck into the school.

But he obviously had no interest in such a thing.

After all, it took him many years to get out of school in his previous life, so he didn't want to go into school to experience that life again.

(T.L Note: I still sometimes wish to go back to my school days)

After Rangiku joined Rukia, Renji, and others, Mazuru went to the headquarters of the Visored. As before, he used his Zanpakuto's ability to infiltrate through the barrier around the factory, and then sneaked into their base easily.

Of course, during this process, the members of Visored also discovered his existence.

When Mazuru just stepped into the barrier, Shinji and others appeared in front of him, "Mazuru-kun, do you regard our base as a public toilet? You come and leave whenever you want, do you know that if you do this, it will be a big slap on our dignity as the Visored."

Obviously because the headquarters of the Visored was broken into more than once, the Visored didn't have a good face, so Shinji dumped the blame on Hachigen in his mind at this moment.

"I'm really sorry if I caused trouble to you." Mazuru apologized, but there was no hint of apology on his face, and they he continued to say to Shinji and others, "There are two things for which I came today, the first, Ichigo will not be able to come during the day today, he has been absent from school for two days, so he has to go to school, and so he will come to continue training at night."

Hearing Mazuru's words, Hiyori snorted at him immediately, "That bald guy is a stupid brat as I thought. He is clearly in danger, yet he still has the mood to go to school."

"Well, after all, he is a student and he hasn't been a shinigami for too long, so it is understandable." Love explained.

(T.L Note: Love refers to Love Aikawa if anyone is confused)

Hiyori pouted, obviously not very much agreeing with Love's remarks.

"I already know the matter, Ichigo is really a handful, moreover he even made you come and inform us." Shinji said.

"Well, there was no one else free at this moment, so I can only do more work." Mazuru said.

(T.L Note: Dude was literally sleeping some time ago)

After this topic ended, Shinji and others were very curious about the second reason for which Mazuru came there, then they saw Lisa come out of their crowd and going to Mazuru's side.

The second thing was no more needed to be asked, they pretty much figured it out already.

Seeing Lisa and Mazuru leaving from there together, Shinji couldn't but help feeling jealous, and he immediately complained about Kensei.

It's not that there were not no handsome guys in the Visored, especially Kensei, who had a standard protagonist's face, so why was it not useful?

When Kensei heard Shinji's slander, and saw the eyes of Hiyori, Mashiro and others looking at him, he became a little speechless.

'So am I going to be targeted just because I am handsome?'

After Mazuru and Lisa went out, they actually had nothing much to do, they were again reading books.

Yesterday was because Ichigo was training and they had to take Ichigo into consideration, so the two of them didn't stay together for too long. Today, Ichigo went to school during the day and wouldn't come there until evening.

Since Mazuru didn't want to go to school to kill time, he had to find another place to kill time.

Books were the source of human progress, reading with Lisa, Mazuru felt that he has improved a lot.

(T.L Note: Improved in what exactly?)

Flipping through the book he didn't finish the previous day, Mazuru couldn't help but ask Lisa, "You guys have been hiding in this kind of place for a hundred years, don't you guys go out somewhere?"

Lisa responded while still reading the book in her hand, "In the earliest years, because we had to avoid Aizen and at the same time, in order to control the power of the hollow in our body, we kept hiding. Although we had the help of Urahara Kisuke, we also had to spend many years to learn how to control the power of hollow in our bodies and master hollowfication."

"After mastering hollowfication, we went out from time to time for a while, trying to adapt to the life of the world of living. This world is indeed more exciting than Soul Society, but unfortunately, because of our identities, because of Aizen, we are destined not to be able to indulge in it."

"So, that's why you like reading this kind of book."

"Well…"

Lisa was taken aback for a moment, she didn't expect Mazuru to go around and come back this issue again, so she couldn't help but give Mazuru a supercilious look that seemed to say, 'It's as if you didn't read these.'

However, Lisa still gave Mazuru an explanation, "You also know that when I was in the Soul Society, I liked reading books. When I came to this world, for the reasons I mentioned, I couldn't go out openly, and so I could only find about this world from books. It was a type of consolation. Although there are more books in this world than in Soul Society, the style was generally similar to the ones in Soul Society. I even discovered that after some writers died and went to Soul Society, they started creating their works there, you can even find their works during their lifetime in Soul Society."

"But this kind of book is different. Because of the old-fashioned and strict rules of the Soul Society, it is obviously impossible for this kind of book to be published. This is a kind of unique book limited to this world."

Lisa explained it so thoroughly that it really made sense.
