"Hearing you say that... does that mean you know me well?" Masatsuki Aozaki blinked, a trace of confusion flickering across her face.

"Yes, I do. I am your Zanpakutō now. I get along quite well with those girls—they seem to like you a lot."

Enrakyōten let out a soft sigh, her voice as light as a passing breeze.

"Someone's coming."

"Don't worry, she's very gentle." Masatsuki Aozaki stuck out his tongue playfully. "You don't need to worry about me—I'm perfectly fine..."

"To be honest, I never make a deal where I come out at a loss. Letting you stay here is basically like you renting my space."

"By that logic, shouldn't you be paying me rent?"

"It's a bit early to be talking about that," Enrakyōten chuckled. "Besides, you're not really taking this seriously."

"Hmm... I see. So what you want is sincerity?" Masatsuki Aozaki hesitated for a moment, trailing his fingers lightly across the water's surface, sending ripples outward. "You want to establish a true connection with me?"
