Chapter 197: The Hangover 7

Chapter 197: The Hangover 7

(Retsu's pov)

Yuuki-kun put his Zanpakuto on his shoulder, looking a lot more relaxed and not drunk at all.

Zangetsu: "I'm never letting him drink again. The body feels all weird. It'll take some time to get used to it."

He talks like this body doesn't belong to him. How strange.

He then looked at me and grinned.

Zangetsu: "It seems that introductions are in order. I'm Zangetsu, and I'm Zanpakuto of, the guy you call Ryoto."

Retsu: "It's the first time I have seen a Zanpakuto spirit possess his wielder."

Zangetsu: "I'm full of surprises, and Ryoto-"

He didn't seem to enjoy saying his name.

Zangetsu: "is even more full of them."

Retsu: "You have a pretty high opinion of him."

Zangetsu: "Huh? High opinion? Where? I'm just stating facts."

Not so honest, Zanpakuto spirit.

Retsu: "So what do you plan on doing now?

Zangetsu: "Well, since I got this chance literally on a silver plate, I'm going to use it."

He pointed his sword. Himself? At me.

Zangetsu: "I'm going to fight you until I'm satisfied!"

I put my hand on my cheek.

Retsu: "Ara ara, you think that I can satisfy you? I'm honored~."

Zangetsu: "Tsk, perverted woman."

This is the first time someone called or even dared to call me that. I'm not sure how to react.

He then rushed at me, and I could immediately feel that he was stronger than before, and his crazed smile showed me that he enjoyed fighting a lot.

I blocked his swing with my own Zanpakuto.

Zangetsu: "Nice reflex, but how about-."

His smile widened as he put his hand on the blade.

Zangetsu: "Getsuga Tenshou."

My eye widened as he used the previous attack. I decided to dodge it this time using Shunpo.

Zangetsu: "I love using this attack. Something about it makes it very satisfying when I surprise my opponent with my swingless attack."

Retsu: "Wasn't the name of this attack Excalibur?"

What a dangerous attack.

Zangetsu: "Tsk, it seems that if the opponent's strength and speed are a lot above the user, this attack won't work. He will need to work on that in the future."

He returned his sword to his scabbard.

Zangetsu: "I hope the next time we fight, I'll force the old you out."

What he said shocked me. He implies that he knows about me from the past. In the present not many know about it but before I could ask him for answers...

Retsu: "Wait, what do you mean by-"

Ryoto: "Huh, where am I? Did I lose?"

It looks like Yuuki-kun returned, and my questions will be put on hold for now.

But I must say, I'm anticipating the moment he really forces my old me out but that will be the day I'll die.

Yuuki-kun, maybe I should call him Ryoto-kun from now on. Just to mess with him when he meets me the next time.

Ryoto-kun stood up, walked up to Isane, and did a dogeza.

Ryoto: "Forgive me for my failure!!! To atone for my failure, I'll tattoo a dragon on my arm to both remind me of my failure and as a promise to be as strong as one!!! Also, because it looks cool!"

Isane: "Y-you'll do it for me?

Ryoto: "Of course!"

He turned then to me.

Ryoto: "Unohana, where can I get a tattoo!?"

(Ryoto's pov)

*Present day*

Retsu: "Afterwards, you got the tattoo, stole handcuffs for some reason, and went to the bedroom with all the girls here to 'rest'"

She then smiled at me, notifying me that she knew what we did there.

Retsu: "I hope that you're a responsible young man."

Yep, she knows more than she should. I put a lollipop on her desk in silence.

Retsu: "My subordinate is still worth more."

I was forced to give up ten lollipops to her while a single tear ran down my cheek.

END

(A/N The Hangover mini-arc has ended. It was fun while it lasted, but it will probably be the last time Ryoto gets drunk willingly. Can't blame the guy, really.)

(E/D: Me who knows Author is Zelretch's reincarnation and will probably turn him into a Magic Girl in front of everyone: ())
