"For the 12th Division, I'm not quite sure how to assign you, to be honest!"
Yamamoto said candidly.
In his era, even members of the 12th Division were war maniacs who could take a sword and fight.
But Mayuri, while also a maniac, wasn't a war maniac.
He had combat ability, but as for how strong he was, it wasn't certain. He mostly relied on his means.
So, Yamamoto, accustomed to direct confrontation, wasn't sure how to assign him.
So, he simply looked at Ukitake.
"Jushiro, you're the Captain-Commander now. You decide how the 12th Division should be assigned!"
"Whether to send them to the front lines, or what!" Yamamoto said.
"Have me decide..." Hearing Yamamoto's words, Ukitake fell into thought.
Then, looking at Mayuri's strikingly black-and-white face, Ukitake slapped his forehead: "Ah, I've got it!"
"Captain Kurotsuchi, you can act freely!" Ukitake said to Mayuri.
"Ah!!?" Hearing Ukitake's words, everyone was stunned again.
Then, Ukitake continued: "Whether you want to do research or conduct experiments, as long as you act freely, you must ensure your actions contribute positively to the war effort, do not hinder the missions of other divisions, and assist them when possible!"
"If you can meet these prerequisites, you will have absolute freedom in this war!"
"Well, do you accept these terms, Captain Kurotsuchi?" Ukitake asked seriously.
Hearing his words, Mayuri's lips curled into a maniacal grin.
"Of course, no problem, Captain-Commander Ukitake!" Mayuri said with a degree of sincerity.
"Hehehe, if I may be so bold, compared to Yamamoto's era, I prefer you, Captain-Commander Ukitake!" Mayuri said, then his expression turned serious: "So, I absolutely, definitely will not betray this trust!"
"Excellent! Then I'm counting on you, Captain Kurotsuchi!" Hearing Mayuri's words, Ukitake showed a satisfied smile.
Others in the room had mixed reactions seeing this.
They hadn't expected that Mayuri, who could even talk back to the Captain-Commander, would be won over so easily by Ukitake!
'This was the power of a compassionate king?'
'That's incredible!'
Seeing this, Yamamoto let out an unprecedented loud laugh.
"Hahahahahaha! Good, good, good, good!" Yamamoto looked at Ukitake with satisfaction: "Jushiro, I was not wrong about you!"
"You truly are more suited to be Captain-Commander than Shunsui!" Yamamoto said contentedly.
"Uh..." Kyoraku touched his nose nearby, feeling a bit helpless.
'What did praising Ukitake have to do with bringing me up?'
'Wasn't it common knowledge that Jushiro was more suitable than me?'
Kyoraku shook his head helplessly.
However, with this, the assignments for the thirteen divisions were complete.
The Seireitei was about to depart for battle.
But another serious question arose before everyone.
"By the way, the Wandenreich is within the Seireitei, but how do we get there?"
Kyoraku suddenly asked.
His question was like a wake-up call.
"That's right!" Everyone looked at each other: "How do we get there?"
Everyone looked at Yamamoto for an answer.
But how would Yamamoto know? He could only look at Ichibe'e.
Then, Ichibe'e looked at Sora.
Sora: "..."
"Alright, alright, it seems I have to step in again!"
Sora shook his head helplessly: "I thought you could find their location yourselves!"
"Fine, I'll do it." Sora looked at everyone: "I can open a portal for you to the Wandenreich."
"Gather your troops. When you're ready, I'll open the portal where you assemble."
"However, I can't fix the location on the other side. I can only open a door for you. Do you understand?"
Sora looked at everyone.
"Understand, understand, of course!"
"It's fine, my lord. Just opening a door is enough!" Everyone quickly agreed.
"Good!" Sora nodded with satisfaction.
Although what he said was actually false and he could pinpoint the location… he just didn't want to do it.
After all, where was the fun in that? A crushing victory wasn't interesting!
Since everyone said they didn't mind, that was even better!
Then, led by Rukia, Sora returned to the Kuchiki Residence to rest.
Elsewhere, preparations were underway with great intensity!
However, this had nothing to do with Sora, who was enjoying the feudal life at the Kuchiki Residence.
