Chapter 183 A certain captain in the barbecue restaurant
Seeing the two Shinigami standing there blankly, Noel decided to go in first. After all, if he kept waiting like this, he might really become the first person to faint from hunger.
Because the two Shinigami were too focused on making eye contact, they didn't notice that Noel had gotten off the stretcher they were carrying and walked directly into the Omaeda Yakiniku restaurant ten steps away.
"Boss, are there any seats left?"
Walking into the store, the noisy sounds entered the ears first. The seats that could be seen were basically filled with diners. There were the God of Death in Death Overlord uniforms and some people wearing casual clothes. Noel guessed that these It should be a family member of the Shinigami, or an employee of another department in Soul Society. After all, the Gotei 13 are not the only ones in Soul Society.
For example, there are Central Room 46, Technology Development Bureau, Zhenyang Spiritual Arts Academy, Nobles, etc.
These diners did not look at Noel differently because of his "fancy clothes". They all ate their own barbecue, or drank a sip of soju with the partner in front of them.
"Ah, sir, because there are too many reapers on vacation today, the shop is full and there are no seats left. Sir, why don't you wait a while?"
Just when Noel was looking around, looking for an open seat, a tall, well-built clerk with a smooth face and a less sinister smile hurriedly ran up to Noel, poking his little hand and whispering Noel said.
The contrasting cuteness is vividly and delicately displayed in him.
"That's it..."
After hearing what the clerk said, Noel felt a little disappointed. It seems that he can only eat ramen today?
But at this moment...
"Brother, if you don't mind, you can drink with me!"
Just when Noel turned around and was about to walk out of the store, the voice of a lazy but magnetic middle-aged man reached Noel's ears.
When the clerk, who looked very much like the Ohmaeda family, heard the voice, he turned around and looked deep into the store in disbelief.
Noel followed the direction of the clerk's eyes and looked there.
Kyoryaku spring water? !
The current captain of the eighth division of the Gotei 13 in Soul Society, and one of the oldest captains.
Although he usually does nothing, he likes to sleep, go to pubs, and enjoy cherry blossoms.
But this person was unfathomable. After the death of Yamamoto Genryu Sai Shigekuni in the battle, he was appointed as the next captain by Room 46 of the Central Committee.
I didn't expect to meet him here. As expected, he can be seen wherever there is wine. Noel sighed secretly in his heart.
……
There is a row of semi-open partitions covered by screens against the wall of the entire barbecue restaurant. This is considered the elegant room of this barbecue restaurant.
Perhaps because he was afraid that Noel would not notice where he was, Kyoryaku Shunsui leaned out half of his body from the screen and greeted Noel with the hand holding the chopsticks. A kind smile appeared on his unshaven face, and his slightly narrowed eyes made people feel very friendly. .
"Thank you, brother, then I'm not welcome."
Noel came to Kyōraku Shunsui and sat across from him unceremoniously. Then he ordered several portions of his specialty beef to the clerk who followed him, and then observed the Death Captain in front of him.
Just like in the impression, he was wearing a pink feather-woven jacket with embroidered patterns, a slight beard on his chin, and medium-long brown slightly curly hair tied into a ponytail with two fancy hairpins.
"I wonder what you call this little brother? I wonder what important matters you have to do here?"
Jingraku Shunshui handed the small white porcelain cup filled with wine to Noel with both hands. He seemed to be very interested in Noel's identity and directly started the interrogation mode.
"Thank you, my name is Noel Black, and I am a school teacher. The reason why I am here today is because I have a student who has not been to school for a long time. I heard that her home is here, so I met some of her classmates Visiting her together can be considered a home visit.
but…
Now I have encountered a very difficult thing. I don't know where her home is. "
Noel took Kyoraku Shunsui's wine with both hands, placed it on the table, sighed, and explained to him why he came here.
As long as Ichiganmaru reports to the captain that the travel disaster has entered the Seireitei, these Shinigami's advanced intelligence systems will soon know that they are here for Rukia Kuchiki, so Noel does not need to report to the most important person in front of him. The coolest and most Buddhist Captain Death lies.
"I don't know what your student's name is. I know quite a few people here. Maybe I know your student's parents."
"I don't know, who are you?"
When he heard that the travel disaster in front of him was looking for his student, Kyoraku Shunsui had almost guessed it, but to be on the safe side, he still wanted to confirm it again.
When Noel first entered the store, he discovered that this person was not from the Serenity Garden, or even from the Soul Society. Although he was on "vacation" to eat, as the captain of the eighth division, he couldn't ignore the matter.
and so…
The above happened.
……
Our Eighth Division is an intelligence team. As long as I get information from this traveler, Mr. Yamamoto will not deduct my salary.
It's great to have barbecue and drink wine with this traveling guy, and be able to complete your job.
Thinking of this, Kyōraku Shunsui's face became even more amiable, and he began to fiddle with the triangular beef brisket he had just put on it.
……
"Hmm~ My name is Jingraku Shunsui, and I'm the head security guard here. Brother, the beef brisket I grilled is very good. Come and try it."
"Thank you. My student's name is Kuchiki Rukia. Although she is naughty and mischievous in class and does not study hard, she is generous and has a good staff in the class. My students and I are very happy after not going to school for so long. miss him.
I wonder if Brother Jingle knows her family or her home address? "
Noel picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of beef brisket grilled by Kyoryaku Shunshui. He dipped it in some of the sauce the clerk had just brought and put it into his mouth.
"I don't know the Kuchiki Rukia you are talking about, but I have a colleague whose surname is also Kuchiki. I can help you find out whether your student is from his family."
really…
After Kyōraku Shunsui heard that the travel disaster named Nour in front of him was really looking for Rukia Kuchiki, he paused for a moment while holding the barbecued meat with chopsticks, but soon returned to normal.
"Then thank you, brother Kyoryu. I'm here for the first time and have nothing. I can only toast you with your wine."
Noel picked up the wine glass and expressed his gratitude to Jingraku Shunsui. After the two clinked their glasses, they both laughed.
……
I don’t know who started the conversation first, but the conversation between the two changed from each other’s work content to the pros and cons of various alcoholic beverages and the unique wine culture of different regions.
In the end, Kyōraku Shunsui was like finding a confidant (drinking buddy), and he began to ask Noel Anri where the wine in Soul Society is strong, where the wine is gentle, etc...
