Chapter 9: Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto
"Masatsuki, I'm here."
Rangiku Matsumoto couldn't hide her excitement as she looked at the rising star of the Shin'ō Academy, sitting cross-legged on the sofa, hands constantly caressing his Zanpakutō. But soon, confusion clouded her expression.
Masatsuki had only obtained his Zanpakutō less than a day ago, yet the bond between them was unusually strong—so strong that it felt a little strange. She knew Masatsuki had always wanted a Zanpakutō, and she expected him to be attached to it once he finally got one.
But she never imagined Masatsuki would be completely enamored with it!
"Masatsuki, is this what you called me here to see? I'm going to be mad!" Rangiku pouted angrily and reached out to pat Masatsuki's face.
I'm standing right here! I may not be fully grown yet, but that's no excuse to be fawning over a sword!
As if to drive away the fox spirit that had suddenly appeared in Masatsuki's life, she deliberately settled herself onto his lap.
"My dear, it's me you like, isn't it?"
"...I really didn't expect that beneath Banshō Senran's pure face and modest clothing, such an exquisite figure would be hiding. Truly amazing... Ah, yes, Rangiku, it's you I like."
Masatsuki, who had been murmuring absentmindedly, suddenly snapped back to reality. His dazed gaze sharpened, and he wrapped his arms around Rangiku's slender waist.
"Masatsuki, you didn't do anything improper with your Zanpakutō, did you? A Zanpakutō is the extension of a Shinigami's soul—they are two beings with one heart!"
