Chapter 204: Spending time with Isane

(Ryoto's pov)

God dammit!!!

That old man pisses me off more than he should. bLaH, bLaH, bLaH, my ancestors were killed by Shinigami. bLaH, bLaH, bLaH, and Shinigami don't work fast enough, and that's why they need to fight Hollows by themselves, bLaH, bLaH, bLaH.

I had already returned to Soul Society with Jushiro-senpai, and I was calm on the outside, but on the inside, I was boiling. I may tolerate stupidity but stupidity that can cause genocide of his own people is something I can't stand. I know, shocking.

Does he really not expect the Shinigami to do anything? With how much he was talking about the war 800 years ago, I would expect him to at least suspect it, but no. His Quincy pride wouldn't allow him to have such thoughts or what?

My thoughts were broken by my Captain.

"Thank you for your work Yuuki-kun."

"I didn't do anything worth thanking for. Instead, I should be apologizing for acting out of line."

At my words, Jushiro-senpai smiled kindly.

"You can't fool your superior Yuuki-kun. I know exactly why you did what you did, but I would appreciate it if you would discuss your plan with me beforehand."

"Sorry, but this time it was kind of spontaneous. I didn't expect the village chef to be this ignorant about his and his people's situation."

"But not everyone is like that, am I right?"

He was implying my talk with Isamu.

"Of course, they aren't all bad. One bad apple doesn't mean that the whole tree is rotten, but it doesn't make me any less annoyed."

Hearing my answer Jushiro-senpai took out a notebook and started writing something in it.

"You have ways with words Yuuki-kun. I'll use this phrase in my next novel." He then continued. "But this meeting wasn't without victories on our part. We agreed on a second meeting, so not all hope is lost, but we must hurry nonetheless. We don't know what Central 46 will decide if Quincies refuse our request. I fear for the worst to happen in that case."

As expected of Jushiro-senpai. He can see the whole picture perfectly, unlike some demented old man!

"Wow, he really got under your skin."

Zangetsu spoke to me.

'You should know. You're an expert in that department.'

"Eh, it's just easy to make you mad when you know which buttons you need to push. Right, Jacob~?"

I could basically see him smirking in my inner world, and I got embarrassed remembering our first meeting.

"How did it go? 'Don't you ever call me that again?' Good times."

I wanted to find a big hole to bury myself in, and it was noticed by my Captain.

"Are you alright, Yuuki-kun? You suddenly got quiet."

"Nothing... Just my Zanpakuto reminding me of my dark past."

"I... see."

I decided to spend some time with Isane. She is the most distant of my girlfriends at the moment, even after three years, but I feel like I'm slowly destroying the walls that she built around herself. She just needs to be more confident. That's all she really needs.

---

I went to Isane's house. Instead of surprising her in the barracks, I got the idea of surprising her in her own house. I'll even make her favorite food.

I got inside using the spare key that she hid under a flowerpot. Not the most original, but sometimes classic is just what you need in life. Besides, what kind of madman would try to steal from a house of a lieutenant. What's more, this house belongs to Unohana, so doing that would not only be stupid but also suicidal.

I stopped thinking about useless things and focused more on cooking. I still enjoy doing that, but as of late, I don't cook as often as I used to. Rin took over my duties sometimes and was the one making food. Not that I don't understand why she wants to make her loved ones eat her food happily, but apparently, it's not the only reason.

The girls agreed that my food is reserved only for special occasions since it's so delicious they are afraid that it would make them lousy eventually.

"I'm home... not that anyone will answer."

"Hey, that's not true."

I answered while walking out of the kitchen in an apron. It was made specifically for me. You could tell by the pattern on it.

It was lollipops. I paid a lot for this apron. Money well spent if I could say so myself.

"Ryoto-kun? What are you doing here?"

"Do I need a reason to visit my girlfriend?"

I walked up to her and gave her a hug and headpats. Although she says that she isn't girly, which I disagree with, she enjoys being treated gently. Not in bed, though, but she is embarrassed afterward almost every time. I enjoy watching her face in the morning as she realizes what happened the previous night.

(E/D: Yet there is no lemon! Lemon!!!!! Whitemail the Author and get me lemon!!!!!!!!!!!)

Isnae melted in my arms and hugged me back with a small smile enjoying the warmth of my body. Most, if not all, of the men in her Squad, are shorter than her, which makes her insecure. She has a complex about her height, but I'm taller than her making her feel like a normal girl.

"I've made some meals with porridge, so let's start eating before it gets cold."

Hearing her favorite food being mentioned, she instantly perked up but calmed down shortly after remembering the agreement.

"But wasn't your food reserved for special occasions?"

"Visiting my girlfriend is a special occasion, though, but we can also treat it as a little secret between just the two of us. What do you think."

I winked at her playfully.

Around my girlfriends, when we are alone, I open my eyes. It's the thing I always did, even back home. There's no particular reason. It started when Lala asked me to do it because she liked how my eyes looked, and it just became a habit to do from then on.

After breaking up the hug, we went to the dining room to have a great meal, and I attempted to start some small talk.

"So, how was your day?"

I didn't get an answer as Isane's mouth was full of food, and she just gave me a look like she tried to answer me telepathically. It was honestly cute, but I was happy seeing that she liked my food so much and waited patiently for her to finish eating.

Afterward, she was embarrassed by her behavior, but I didn't mind and was smiling the entire time, watching her eat. Moments like these are worth living for.

"Ryoto-kun, can I ask you something?"

"The secret ingredient is love." I answered instantly.

"Not that. Did something happen to upset you?"

Well, this is surprising. I wasn't expecting Isane to notice anything. I thought that I was behaving as usual but talking about problems is also part of the relationship. I learned that with Lala.

"It's nothing too bad for now. My Squad is responsible for negotiating with the Quincies, and I don't like where this is going. The leader we are meeting is very closed-minded, and there is a big chance that the negotiations will fail. If that happens, knowing the higher-ups, war could break out, and it's never a good thing."

After I said what was on my mind Isane walked up to me and put my head on her breasts, and gave me a headpats. Huh, now that I think about it, the last person to give me a headpat was Koro-sensei. Otherwise, I'm the one giving it to people, but it feels nice.

"You know, you don't need to put on a bravado in front of any of us."

Does it really look like that?

"It's not that I'm trying to put on a bravado. That's how I'm normally behaving, and if it's not something big, I usually won't show or tell what's on my mind, but I'm trying to be more open. If this was the old me, then I would keep my problems to myself no matter what, so I think there's progress."

Flipping the mood 180, I picked up Isane in my arms and went to the bedroom, and she knew exactly what was going to happen next...

(E/D: Wow, I guess didn't have to whitemail him with the gun in my pocket after all. Huh... Anyways, I'm touching myself tonight.)

(A/N I don't know how to tell you this...)
