“It’s nice to meet you, Mitsuhide-san.” She murmurs respectfully, raising to her full height only to see Mitsuhide looking at the two of you with a blank expression.
“Oh hell nah, you cunts are way too polite… Shin, ya prick! Ya brought kids from the Seireitei without tellin’ me first?! Look at the state all my shit’s in! Yer the fuckin’ reason all of these lot think we’re country fuckin’ bumpkins!” He punctuated that statement by leaping up to kick Shin in the face, you surprised he was able to jump that high.
However, Shin countered, grabbing the kick long before it reached him, throwing Mitsuhide to the ground, the smaller man seemingly surprised he’d been able to do that. “They ain’t like that.

“Well, it’s true. So I’d stop antagonising him, Mitsuhide. Danketsu could probably kill you if he wanted.” Shin confirms, causing the man to back up and scratch his head.
“I forget, all ya shinigami types have all that weird magic and all. Guess I should judge yer cover by yer book… or however it is ya say that.” He looked up at you all, shaking his head. “But besides all o’ that crap! Ya wanna eat, right!? So come on, let’s eat!” He shouted, beckoning you into the shack.
