What surprised Senju Makoto was that the stealth technique that Zaihou learned from stealth maneuvers seemed to have made great progress. If it were not for the existence of the "Forest Seed", Senju Makoto would not have been able to detect the existence of Zaihou.
'The Broken Bee...are you really hiding from me? '
Senju Makoto continued to deal with the team affairs calmly, while thinking about related matters in his heart.
…
Outside the tent, the whole person was completely shrouded in the special black clothes of the Secret Mobile Team. The Broken Bee seemed to be completely integrated into the night, and the fluctuations in spiritual pressure were suppressed to the lowest level.
During this period, several members of the Fourth Squadron walked by less than one meter away from the Broken Bee, but did not notice the existence of the Broken Bee at all.
However, Broken Bee's gaze looked at the shadow of Senju Makoto reflected on the lake in the tent, and his seemingly cold eyes were touched from time to time.
[Enter the tent to protect the safety of Senju Makoto, deputy captain of the Fourth Division. Mission time limit: one night. 】
This is an urgent mission notification received by Broken Bee.
However, as Broken Bee arrived here and realized that he was the only member of the secret mobile team here, he realized that this was probably Senju Makoto's arrangement.
Otherwise, based on the style of the secret mobile team, normal missions will require the cooperation of multiple people in order to confirm the mission success rate and respond to various unexpected risks.
'Senju Makoto, what do you want to say to yourself...'
Realizing this, Shatterbee rarely disobeyed the requirements of the mission and simply stayed outside the tent.
Time passes little by little...
In the tent, Senju Makoto seemed to be completely unaware of the appearance of Zai Bee. He approved all the team tasks that needed to be handled that day, and then stood up and moved around in the tent as if he was a little tired.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Senju Makoto walked to the side of the tent close to the broken bee...
At this moment, there was only a tent between Senju Makoto and Zai Bee. Zai Bee could clearly see every detail of Senju Makoto's shadow silhouette on the tent, and could even hear the gentle sigh. Voice.
"Alas~"
That sigh was full of worry and helplessness, like a spring breeze wrapped in sorrow blowing through Sui Feng's heart.
"Sao Aya, you really haven't forgiven me yet? Didn't you even give me a chance to apologize?"
Senju Makoto murmured to himself, his words full of regret and helplessness.
For a moment, Zhanfei, who was feeling an inexplicable fluctuation in his heart outside the tent and wanted to change positions, stopped involuntarily.
'Cheng, I didn't know I had arrived...'
The broken bee turned out to be different from the past, as if it were a piece of indifferent eyes filled with waves.
Although Broken Bee has instinctively refused everyone to approach him, but... Broken Bee still couldn't help but want to listen to Senju Makoto's heart at this moment.
"Sao Aya, for that very important day for you, I have prepared a lot of blessings for you and gifts for you..."
"I... really want to witness with my own eyes the moment when you take on the name of 'Broken Bee', and as an important friend, let you know that you are not alone..."
"Oh~ It's just that even the huge expense of asking Vice Captain Ohmaeda didn't give me a chance to talk to you?"
When he said this, Senju Makoto's shadow made a gesture of reaching out to wipe the corners of his eyes, as if wiping away tears.
And Senju Makoto's voice was a bit more sad and lonely, his words revealed a kind of loneliness, and he mocked himself sadly.
"Tsk~~ After all, I was abandoned. As expected, I didn't even get a chance to explain myself in front of Shou Ling..."
These words slowly reached Zai Bee's ears, but they... completely penetrated Zai Bee's seemingly hard psychological defense, causing Zai Bee's eyes to unconsciously leak out of the soaked mask.
That kind of sadness, that kind of despair, that kind of loneliness... deeply resonated with the Broken Bee.
Originally, Zui Feng cherished Si Feng Yuan Ye Yi so much, and regarded Si Feng Yuan Ye Yi as the person he admired to whom he would devote everything.
However, after the "hollow incident" occurred, Si Fengyuan Ye Yi left without saying a word, as if... completely ignoring the existence of Sui Feng.
'Obviously...even if you want to escape Soul Society, you can take your own...even if it's in this world or Hueco Mundo, you can abandon everything and follow Lord Yoruichi...'
After learning this result, Zhanfei felt that his entire soul had been hollowed out, and... nothing was left.
The belief that I had held onto for countless years completely collapsed!
Then, Zhanfei, who fell into despair about everything, almost cut off all contact with the outside world, and frantically performed one task after another, trying to anesthetize himself in this way.
Or... it doesn't matter when you die during the mission...
…
And inside the tent, Senju Makoto, who had been waiting for several breaths, felt that the position of the broken bee still hadn't moved at all, which made Senju Makoto frown slightly.
'Is there no way? At this time, with the departure of Si Fengyuan Yoruichi, Zhanfei couldn't listen to anything at all? '
Thinking of this, Senju Cheng couldn't help but feel helpless.
From the perspective of a friend and his identity, Senju Cheng did not want Suihou to be immersed in this wrong sadness and despair.
However, without the permission of Yoruichi Sifengin, and because the cooperation between him and Yoruichi Sifengin was very involved, it was not suitable for Senju Makoto to tell Zaihou the truth on his own.
More importantly, once Zaihou learns what happened between Senju Makoto and Shifengin Yoruichi, it is not certain that Zaihou's mentality of being obsessed with Shifengin Yoruichi will completely explode.
'Why? Obviously I should be the person Ye Da trusts the most? '
"Why... why would Mr. Yoruichi believe such a thing, Mr. Cheng, and not choose to tell me?"
'Could it be...could it be that my position in Ye Da's heart has been replaced by Cheng-kun? '
Just by thinking about it, Senju Makoto guessed the scene of the relevant conversation.
Comparing his feelings, this is probably similar to how one night, Senju Cheng was shocked to find that Teacher Unohana actually asked Kotetsu Yuine to sleep with him instead of letting him sleep with him?
Can this be tolerated? !
At the very least, you have to join me!
Therefore, Senju Makoto's concealment of what happened with Yoruichi Shifouin was entirely for Zaihou's sake, as he was worried that Zaizu's future interpretation of the swastika might be distorted into a "self-destructive" "one-hit kill" .
'In that case, let's finish it together, hohohohoho~~~'
Thinking of the possible Honkai version of the Broken Bee, Senju Makoto felt that it would be better for him to hide it.
At this moment, Broken Bee's position finally moved and appeared directly at the entrance of the tent, followed immediately by Broken Bee's familiar voice.
"Senju Makoto, deputy captain of the fourth division, I have been ordered to come to protect you."
