Retsu Unohana smiled and said, "If you're willing to attend the ikebana gathering, I'll teach you flower arrangement."
"Alright, alright..."
Masatsuki Aozaki was just being polite, trying to strengthen his rapport with Unohana. He really didn't want to keep discussing flower arranging, so he chuckled and changed the subject.

Unohana was momentarily taken aback before laughing softly. This kid really never misses a chance to get stronger. She had just shown him a bit of warmth, and he was already bringing up swordsmanship.
She wasn't annoyed, though. Instead, she responded naturally, "You can start anytime. What do you want to ask? Or do you need to spar with me to pinpoint any issues?"
Masatsuki felt his heart melt a little. As expected, a gentle and understanding older woman was something else.
