From Spring to Death

Hikigaya Hachiman and Hikigaya Komachi went upstairs and heard the sound of "dong dong dong".

Kamiya Yuma took off his shirt and was training his reaction ability.

"Brother, do you want to exercise with Brother Kamiya?"

Hikigaya Komachi suddenly disliked her brother's otaku figure.

"Komachi, I don't think it's a good thing to over-exercise like Kamiya."

"Normal exercise is enough. If you pursue muscles, it will cause many irreversible effects on the body."

"I think the intensity of my daily exercise at school is the most suitable."

"Brother, don't make excuses for being lazy!"

Hikigaya Komachi knows her brother very well.

Hikigaya Hachiman was not embarrassed to be exposed, after all, she is her sister.

"Brother Kamiya, I have prepared the meal."

"Then you go downstairs to eat first, I still need a little time."

"You are the host, we are just guests, how can you do this?"

Hikigaya Hachiman shook his head.

"Okay, then you guys help me put the things away."

Kamiba Yuma took off the sandbags on his body and threw them on the ground with a thumping sound.

Hikigaya picked up the small sandbags, which were very heavy.

I don't know how he trained with so many sandbags tied to his body.

"Wow, these things are so heavy!"

Hikigaya Komachi picked up a dumbbell.

"Be careful, handle it with care, don't hit yourself."

"Don't worry, Brother Kamiya, I will be careful!"

...

The next day, Kamiya Yuma received a holiday notice from Sobu High School.

Hikigaya Komachi's school was also on holiday.

It seemed that the school was damaged and needed to be repaired.

And Chiba had just experienced a chaotic incident. For the safety of students, most schools planned to have a holiday for a while.

During this holiday, Yukinoshita Haruno met with Kamiya Yuma.

The two met at a tea restaurant, and soon after, Hiratsuka Shizuka also came.

"Kamiya-san, it's been a long time since we last met."

"It's only been a few days, how can it be so long?"

"Isn't there a saying that goes "One day without seeing you feels like three years have passed?"

Yukinoshita Haruno squinted her eyes and smiled at Kamiya Yuma.

"Ms. Yukinoshita knows Chinese?"

"A little bit."

"Then can you say a sentence in Chinese to me?"

"Of course, little brother Kamiya, is your sister pretty?"

Yukinoshita Haruno said this in Chinese. What surprised Kamiya Yuma was that Yukinoshita's Chinese did not have a colonel accent.

"Ms. Yukinoshita is a little narcissistic."

Kamiya Yuma replied in Chinese.

"Kamiya-san actually knows Chinese?"

Yukinoshita Haruno investigated Kamiya Yuma and found no signs that he was learning Chinese.

So Kamiya Yuma was very surprised that he spoke fluent Chinese.

And he thought he didn't know Chinese, so he was caught teasing him in Chinese.

"Haruno, what were you talking about just now?"

The only person who didn't know Chinese was Hiratsuka Shizuka.

So she didn't know what her best friend said to Kamiya Yuma in Chinese.

"It's nothing, Jing."

"Kamiya-san, I want to ask what happened before?"

"What exactly is that invisible monster?"

This is the purpose of Yukinoshita Haruno meeting Kamiya Yuma.

"It's a hollow."

"A monster that feeds on human souls."

"After a person dies, the soul will leave the body."

"The soul wandering in the world will have a causal chain on the chest."

"For various reasons, the causal chain on the chest of these souls disappears, and they are devoured by their hearts, and they will be transformed into hollows, becoming monsters that devour human souls and fill the emptiness in their hearts."

Kamiya Yuma drew some images of hollows, the most obvious feature of which is the white bone mask on his face.

"The best way to destroy the Hollows is to destroy the masks on their faces."

"But ordinary people can't see Hollows."

"So when facing Hollows, ordinary people have only the option of running away."

"But you can deal with this kind of Hollow, right?"

"I'm not an ordinary person, so I can deal with Hollows naturally."

Kamiba Yuma took out the Quincy Cross.

"This thing is useless to me. If you can use its power, maybe you can fight those Hollows."

Yukinoshita Haruno was not polite and took the Quincy Cross.

"But you probably can't use this thing."

"Because you are not Quincy."

"Quincy is a group that runs in the bloodline and is born with the ability to control spirit particles."

"I am very sure that you are not Quincy."

Kamiba Yuma gave the Quincy Cross to Yukinoshita Haruno just forI asked her to find someone to study it.

Although I know the probability is very small, what if they find a way to let ordinary people use Quincy tools?

"By the way, there is one more thing, that is, people who have been attacked by Hollows will attract the attention of Hollows more easily than others."

"But you don't have to worry too much, at least in the short term, those Hollows will not appear again."

"Is it because I was attacked by Hollows that I can barely see those Hollows?"

Yukinoshita Haruno asked.

"Yes, people who have been attacked by Hollows will have some changes in their souls."

"A very small number of people who have been attacked by Hollows will stimulate some special abilities."

"But most people, except for being able to barely see Hollows, will not have other changes."

"Don't take risks to gain the power to protect yourself."

"I don't have time to save people who are looking for death."

"I'm not such an irrational person."

Yukinoshita Haruno looked at Kamiya Yuma with a smile.

"Instead of taking risks myself, I might as well act cute to Kamiya-san."

"I believe Kamiya-san will not watch a beauty like me die."

"You can only watch but not touch. I won't give special protection to a beauty who doesn't belong to me."

Hiratsuka Shizuka listened and found that the direction of the two people's conversation had deviated.

Aren't they discussing how to deal with those Hollows?

"Kamiya, there must be other Quincies in this world besides you."

"Why are there so many Hollows this time?"

"Have all those Quincies disappeared?"

This is what Yukinoshita Haruno wanted to ask.

Since Quincies are inherited through blood, there should be quite a few.

"Unfortunately, I am probably the only Quincy in this world."

Originally, even I shouldn't have existed, and those Hollows shouldn't have appeared.

"Why?"

"It's too troublesome to protect humans."

"Besides, you can't make money as a Quincy."

"Quincy also needs to make a living."

"We protect humans silently, but who knows?"

"If you can't make money, you can only starve to death."

"So most Quincy choose to abandon this ability."

"I just took back this power because I was interested."
