Chapter 189: Party
(Ryoto's pov)
A week has passed since the accident in the living world, and today is the date we set for a celebration party. Not all our classmates were coming since not everyone wanted to party after witnessing their friends' death. In my opinion, coming back alive is enough of a reason to celebrate.
We were partying in some restaurant that I didn't know the name of. Unfortunately, I couldn't show off my cooking skills.
...
Who am I kidding? I decided to hijack the kitchen and cook whatever I could. I left some lollipops to the sulking cooks who tasted my food. Their confidence was shattered at that moment.
After I had made the food, I returned to my group.
Rin: "Are you done?"
Ryoto: "Yep~ The food should be great."
Kisuke: "So you went to cook our food? But why?"
Ryoto: "We are celebrating coming back home alive so I made sure that the food was top-notch."
Shortly after, the food arrived, and I was awaiting the surprise to come. Since it's a party, we should play a fun game, right? A Russian roulette, to be exact. One of the dishes was made to strip someone of clothes. Even I don't know which one it is, but that's the fun of this game.
Everyone was hungry, so they started eating right away, and so did I, but I was observing everyone.
Then I heard clothes ripping off, and the one who got the best food was Tessai. He didn't change his expression and was continuing eating as if nothing had happened, but right now, he was without his shirt.
Most of the students didn't even notice as they were busy eating their food, but the ones who witnessed it couldn't get their eyes away as it's not every day that something like this happens. I also couldn't stop smiling at this event, and it was noticed by the trio of my friends.
Rin: "What did you do?"
Ryoto: "I just made the food. Whatever do you mean~."
Her gaze pierced me, but I was enjoying myself nonetheless.
Shunsui: "Oh my, oh my, I did not expect a group of students today~."
Shunsui-senpai entered the restaurant and he wasn't alone. With him, there was a man with long white hair.
Jushiro: "Kyoraku, I said that it looked busy from the outside. Why were you so stubborn to come here..."
Shunsui: "But they have the best sake in the whole Seireitei."
Shunsui-senpai looked around to find an empty seat, but then he noticed me. Seeing me, he waved his hand at me.
Shunsui: "Ryoto-kun~, I didn't expect you here of all places. Knowing you, you would be training like crazy with Yama-jii."
What kind of opinion does he have of me?
Ryoto: "I'm not a training junkie, Senpai."
At my words, people closest to me looked at me strangely. At that, I looked back at them.
Ryoto: "What?"
Rin: "Ryoto, are you not aware of that?"
Ryoto: "Of what? I don't deny that I like improving myself, but I'm not a maniac."
Yoruichi: "You know that the only one that can rival you in the craziness of your training would be Kisuke."
Hearing that, Kisuke scratched the back of his head awkwardly while laughing sheepishly.
Kisuke: "I don't think that I'm doing something out of ordinary though..."
Yoruichi: "That you don't see any problems is a problem in itself. If I didn't check up on you, I could bet that you would die of hunger or thirst. Maybe both."
Ryoto: "OK! So we agree that Kisuke is overfocused on certain things, but how does this translate to me?"
I pointed at myself.
Rin: "I've seen you meditating with your Zanpakuto on your laps for hours at times. Sometimes you would even throw up blood when you wake up."
Zangetsu can be violent at times, and when we are training, he roughs me up too much sometimes.
Ryoto: "It's not like I'm doing it every day..."
Yoruichi: "What about the times you train your so-called secret technique?"
I may have trained some extra to master Tsubame Gaeshi. I feel like I'm so close, but I'm missing something. The problem is that I don't know what that something is, so I tried a little this and that to figure it out.
I didn't figure it out, but there was something strange with it. Zangetsu always knew all of my techniques and used them to the maximum of their potential, like using that cloth of his to attack, or the stickiness of our bodies(Spider Stickiness). The only thing he didn't show to know is Tsubame Gaeshi. He never used it against me, and knowing him, he would do it at least once. Something fishy is going on here.
Ryoto: "No comment."
My mind returned to the conversation.
Jushiro: "Oh, so you must be Yuuki-kun that I heard about. Nice to finally meet you. My name is Jushiro Ukitake, and just like Kyoraku here, I was Genryusai-sensei's student."
Ryoto: "Nice to meet you, Ukitake-San."
Jushiro: "Now that we introduced ourselves, let's not keep bothering the children as they are having fun *Cough* *Cough*."
He coughed a few times.
Jushiro: "Excuse me."
Ryoto: "Why don't you join us? After all, we are celebrating."
I decided to invite them but not before asking others about it.
Ryoto: "Is that okay, everyone?"
Even though I asked, everyone was very tense. Maybe being in the presence of two Captains is making them nervous.
Shunsui: "And what are you celebrating?"
Ryoto: "Being alive. Do you know about the accident in the living world one week ago?"
Jushiro-senpai widened his eyes.
Jushiro: "So it was your class!?"
Ryoto: "Yep."
Shunsui: "Then it's really a bug reason to celebrate~."
Shunsui-senpai sat at the nearest free table and ordered sake. Seeing this, Jushiro-senpai just sighed and joined him. He seems used to Shunsui-senpai's antics.
Shunsui: "Since you got back alive then you need to drink!"
Hearing that, Rin butted in.
Rin: "Excuse me, but we are minors."
Shunsui-senpai smiled gently at her.
Shunshui: "Young or adult, it doesn't really matter. Once you are dead, it's the end of your time here, so why not enjoy a drink before something bad happens."
He tried to argue, he just probably wanted to have a drink with me. But surprisingly, Rin was being swayed by him, and it did not help that Yoruichi was also encouraging this.
Yoruichi: "Come on Rin, lossen up a little. Even a Captain is telling us that it's not a big deal."
She wrapped her hand around Rin, and under this pressure, she gave up.
Rin: "Well, one time wouldn't hurt... I guess."
Yoruichi: "That's what I'm talking about!"
Soon the alcohol arrived.
(E/D: I have read enough hentai to know where this is going.)
