"It's not that easy to make me forgive you! Seven of Bamboos." Yamabuki snorted coldly.
"Pong. Don't be angry yet, we're really not good at clerical work, Seven of Strips." Shihōin Chika.
"Kan! The Old Man thought about it, and this job suits you best! And when the Gotei 13 has more people in the future, we can assign you more help. Two of Characters!"
"Kan-on-Kan! I'm going to win! Be careful, everyone!" Saitō Furōfushi said with a mischievous grin.
Yamabuki drew a tile. Hmm? East Wind?
There wasn't a single East Wind on the table. Could someone be going for a Big Four Winds?
No, the West, South, and North Winds had already been played quite a bit. At most, it would be a concealed Kan. Yamabuki casually discarded the East Wind!
"Win!"
"Win!"
"Won!"
One Shot, Three Wins!
Yamabuki's face twitched uncontrollably. Why did these three choose to go for a single East Wind at the same time? Are these three bastards colluding to mess with me? Why is my luck so bad?
"Um... how about I owe you for now? I'll pay you back when I get my salary!" Yamabuki asked.
Shihōin Chika smiled and brought over a pen and paper. "I'm sure the Chief of Staff wouldn't default on a debt. Come and write an IOU!"
"..."
Are we still good comrades who fought side by side?
You actually don't trust me like this!
You saw right through my intention to default!
How can you see me so clearly!
Can we still have fun in the future?
Under the coercion of Ryujin Jakka and the two Captains, Yamabuki wrote his first IOU in his life.
Sigh!
This frustrating life!
I'm already in debt before I even get paid!
"Oh, right, Captain Commander, I came to discuss something with you." Yamabuki quickly changed the subject.
"Hmm? Is there anything else?" Yamamoto asked.
Ever since Yamabuki joined the Gotei 13, Yamamoto felt like his brain had been liberated. No matter what problem arose, he'd just throw it at Yamabuki.
"It's about the Gotei 13. I think we should establish a specialized medical team. This would reduce casualties among the members." Yamabuki said.
Yamamoto nodded slightly. "That's a very good idea, but it's not feasible yet. The number of Gotei 13 members is too small, only a few hundred in total right now. When we have more people in the future, we'll definitely do as you say."
Yamabuki nodded. Indeed, the current number of Gotei 13 members was too small. If a portion were specifically assigned to medical duties, there would be even fewer people available for combat. This plan could only be implemented when there were more people and the situation was more stable in the future.
"Then I'll learn Medical Arts from Tenjirō Kirinji for now. It should be useful in the future." Yamabuki said.
Yamamoto's brow furrowed almost imperceptibly. He had originally wanted to advise Yamabuki not to learn everything, but to focus his energy on one thing.
If he practiced swordsmanship, he should concentrate on swordsmanship.
If he learned Kido, he should concentrate on Kido.
The things Yamabuki was learning were simply too complex, and a person's energy was, after all, limited.
However, thinking of Yamabuki's terrifying talent, he gave up. Maybe he really was a polymath?
"Yamabuki, you're still lacking in Hakuda. When you have time, the Old Man will teach you Hakuda to make up for your shortcomings in that area." Yamamoto said.
The Old Man is actually so generous? That's rare!
"Thank you, Captain Commander! Oh, right, where did you get your mahjong set? Do they have mahjong in this era?" Yamabuki asked curiously.
Shihōin Chika said with a smile, "This thing is very popular in the Human World, and it gradually spread to Rukongai. Luckily, I had a set in my collection."
Forget it, he didn't want to bother with these trivial matters. He'd better go learn Medical Arts first!
Among the Shinigami, there were three individuals with exceptionally high Medical Arts.
They were Tenjirō Kirinji, Retsu Unohana, and Yamada Seinosuke.
Among them, Tenjirō Kirinji's Medical Arts were the most superb, especially his invention of two types of hot springs, which could truly be described as "bringing the dead back to life and regenerating flesh and bone."
Retsu Unohana learned her Medical Arts from Tenjirō Kirinji and was already top-tier in the Gotei 13, but unfortunately, in terms of Medical Arts alone, she still couldn't compare to Tenjirō Kirinji.
The last one was Yamada Seinosuke, who didn't appear in the main story. He was Yamada Hanatarō's older brother and served as the director of a hospital specifically for nobles. His Medical Arts were no less than Retsu Unohana's.
Yamabuki hummed a tune as he arrived at Tenjirō Kirinji's residence, finding quite a few patients there.
Hanako bustled back and forth, acting as a little nurse.
After all the patients were gone, Yamabuki walked in.
"Brother Yamabuki? Why are you here? Are you sick?" Hanako asked nervously.
"No, I'm here to discuss something with Tenjirō Kirinji." Yamabuki looked at Tenjirō Kirinji, who snorted coldly.
"No good deed goes unpunished, and no one offers something for nothing. You coming to me can't be for anything good." Tenjirō Kirinji said coldly, "I'm very busy right now, so don't disturb me."
Yamabuki leaned over with a grin. "Don't be so heartless! We're good brothers who've been through life and death together. I even brought good wine to see you, how can you be so cold to me?"
"You brought me wine? You must have something to ask of me, right? Speak!" Tenjirō Kirinji, of course, knew what kind of scoundrel this guy was. A weasel paying respects to a chicken, no good intentions.
"You are the number one divine doctor in our Soul Society, healing the sick and saving lives, your merits are immeasurable! Could you share some of your merits with me?" Yamabuki asked with a cunning look.
"What do you mean?" Tenjirō Kirinji asked warily.
"I want to learn Medical Arts from you."
"Learn Medical Arts?" Tenjirō Kirinji was stunned. What was this kid up to?
"Why do you want to learn Medical Arts from me?" Tenjirō Kirinji asked.
"To heal the world, save lives..."
Tenjirō Kirinji silently drew his sword. "Tell me the truth!"
"...To make it more satisfying when I cut people! Think about it, how boring is it to just cut a heinous bastard to death in two swings? If I knew Kaido, I'd heal him first, then cut him to death, then heal him again, then cut him to death again. I'd absolutely make him wish he'd never been born... Hey, hey, hey? Don't push me!" Yamabuki yelled.
Tenjirō Kirinji's face was ashen. Even Satan would call you big brother!
Finally, under Yamabuki's sincere request (persistent nagging), Tenjirō Kirinji agreed to teach Yamabuki Medical Arts.
"I want you to swear that when you kill people in the future, you won't use the Kaido I teach you to heal them. Give them a quick death! Be a human being!" Tenjirō Kirinji said with a sigh.
"Mm-hmm-hmm! I swear." Yamabuki looked obedient.
I don't believe you for a second!
Look at the people the Gotei 13 recruits, is there a single normal one?
"Then let's start learning Kaido now!"
