Chapter 309: Aftermath
(3rd's pov)
Currently, Squad 4's headquarters are busier than they have been in a long time. All the members are running around in haste, moving around the medical equipment and checking on the patients.
Multiple Captains and Lieutenants were hospitalized because of the Quincy invasion, some more damaged than others, but in the end, Squad 4 was overworked. It didn't help that some patients were more rowdy.
"Captain Ryoto! Please stay in your bed! You are still injured and not in a condition that you should be moving!" A member of Squad 4 begged Ryoto, who just stood up from his bed.
"Don't be like that. I need to move around a bit. I also want to check on others. You are not heartless enough to stop a loving father and lover from checking on his family, are you?"
Ryoto asked with a raised eyebrow, clearly trying to pull some emotional strings on the poor medic. He almost succeeded, but it all stopped when a new medic arrived.
"I would kindly ask you to stop trying to emotionally manipulate my squad member, Captain Ryoto."
Hearing this voice, Ryoto flinched, and the reason was understandable since it was the voice of the Captain of Squad 4, Retsu Unohana.
"Captain Unohana." Ryoto started with fake excitement. "Do you truly believe that I would steep so low as to manipulate this poor little guy? Do you really think so lowly of me? I'm just a worried father and lover." Ryoto wiped the nonexistent tear. "This lack of trust really hurts, you know."
