[Death · Bailu] Flower Story

"Snapped."

It was the light sound when a premature plum fell from the branch to the ground, and when the branch shook, it dripped two or three drops of water again.

The rain last night had stopped, and the stone road was washed clean and moist, and from time to time, a few green and yellow grass leaves were still found somewhere.The "da" and "da" sounds made by clogs stepping on them always remind people of the Muhua Festival full of candy on summer nights, and the grand fireworks that were encountered by chance on the banks of the Shuimei that year.

The pond where the koi swims is shimmering, and from time to time, colorful fish tails flash past, and the crystal water drops from the "wow--" area are shining with colorful light under the sunlight.

What you can see along the way is the greenery washed out by the summer rain. Those large leaves and slender grass stems are stretching vigorously to find the reappearing sun while still hanging from the raindrops.

In this Nanyuan, which is wetted by the night rain, your breath is peacefully everywhere.

It seems that as long as my footsteps are heavier, you will brush aside the curtains and open the sliding door. Wearing a light-colored uniform, you will appear indifferently and peacefully in the bright morning light.

Then he glanced sideways, and asked as usual, "What's the matter, Rukia."

Rukia hugged the giant pink rabbit that was almost as tall as herself, and hurried into the lush green cherry forest amidst the slightly surprised expressions of the Nanyuan servants.

Before going to bed the previous day, she realized that the diary behind the screen in her cabin had disappeared.

After asking, I found out that Bai Zai took it back to the Technology Development Bureau for maintenance while she was away some time ago, and then our master, who is always busy with everything, just "forgotten" this giant rabbit in his living room. middle.

Declining the kindness of the old housekeeper who seemed a bit cramped no matter how you looked at it to "help get it back", the "busy" Miss Kuchiki who was supposed to be in the Kuchiki house preparing to go to the royal court, but at this night when the rain stopped In the early morning, wearing only plain clothes, he walked into the bedroom of the Kuchiki Patriarch on his own.

"Your Excellency Yeyi, shop manager-san?! You..." After Rukia put away the rabbit and had breakfast, she appeared in Bai Zai's training ground in a domineering outfit, but was shocked by the person and cat in front of her. You have to completely give up the elite expression on the face.

"Well, Boy Byakuya's training ground is not bad. I like the green one. Hey Kisuke, go back and plant some trees in your basement..."

Even in the pose of a cat, His Excellency Yoruichi's gesture of holding his head up and waving his paws is still full of queen demeanor.

And the profiteer in the green bathrobe at the side showed a dog-legged expression as expected, and kept talking while taking off his hat in an exaggerated salute: "Hey~~ Speaking of it...wasn't Ye Yisang the one who decided to be naked in the first place?"

Then, as expected, a strand of hair was pulled.

"Ah, Rukia-chan~~ Come here to practice so early, no wonder you haven't seen your strength increase so much in just ten years~" A strand of silver hair was still held by the cat's claws, Kisuke Urahara turned around with his head tilted and grinning, After seeing Rukia, he showed a bright smile like a morning glory.

"By the way, Rukia, I'm very curious about what Byakuya has taught you. It just so happens that the two of us are here to 'assist' you. Come on, let's fight first!" The black cat Jintong narrowed his body and jumped , by the time it landed, it had turned into a hot purple-haired woman.

"Ah...Speaking of which, isn't it just about preparing for the royal court..." Of course, Rukia would never say such words, and she could get the guidance of two super captains. , But it is an opportunity that others can't ask for.

What's more, Rukia, whose self-doubt and self-loathing are about to reach the extreme, has caused the Kuchiki family to suffer all kinds of doubts and rumors due to her own reasons.

The crystal clear blade seemed to be covered with a thin layer of cold mist, and the snow-white streamer flowed smoothly. Under the streamer was her crystal clear and calm purple pupil. Rukia held tightly the sleeve Shirayuki that had begun to untie, and posed a white Zai commonly used offensive posture.

"Then, Lord Ye Yi, please enlighten me."

"Captain Jingyue, this is the analysis report of mirror spirit particles sent by Captain Nie. In addition, Captain Kuchiki and Heiko sent a letter this morning, informing them that the fully unsealed scroll has been transferred to the Technology Development Bureau last night." Yi Shi Nanxu picked out the bright blue Nirvana Yuri cartoon head from a thick stack of documents, and placed it next to the uncle who was sitting at the captain's desk in a prostrate posture with a delicate expression.

"Ah~~Xiao Nanao~~Looking at so many data is very short-lived, why don't you read the results directly for me?" The uncle wearing a bright pink cherry blossom pattern kimono, looking resentful from the mountain of piles He raised his face from the pile of documents, but his dark brown eyes were light at this time, with an overworked and godless look, "Ah, I have to sign so many documents, and the urgent report from the other side is also a piece of paper." One after another, let’s talk about it… Fourteen Lang sent a letter last time to say that there were also incidents of Daxu hurting people in several small towns around Luo の cho?”

"Captain...you just woke up, okay? Don't act like you're overworked. Besides, Captain Ukitake's message was three days ago. The latest news is that Captain Kuchiki, Captain Hirako, Captain Saraki jointly asked for orders to go to the virtual circle, is it really okay for you to still look like this..." Nanao frowned and pushed her glasses, and took away the small wine cup that appeared on the desk at an unknown time with extremely skillful movements , handed over a new cup of tea.

"Well, there are now five captains in this world. Although this formation is not as good as when old man Shan came to Kuza Town in person, it is also a great formation in the past ten years. Besides, I am not the group of stubborn old men in Room 46 of the Central Committee. Loyalty still has confidence." Carelessly brushing aside the curly hair in front of him, Jingle Chunshui took a sip of tea, "Hiss—it's so bitter..."

"Captain, didn't you say before that desire is the most secretive but also the most terrifying thing?" Nanao Ise, who was looking through the report sent by Nirvana Yuri with a bitter face, thought about it, but finally couldn't help it. Zhu raised his head and asked, "Then why did you choose to trust the Kuchiki family this time?"

"...Who is Kuchiki Byakuya? That man is truly like a cherry blossom, and he values ​​glory above everything else." Sensing that Nanao was trying to refute and opened her mouth, Jingle Shunsui smiled and raised his hand to stop her from taking The words came down, "However, his glory is different from that of the Kuchiki family, and his desire and ambition have never been in power and strength."

"Then this time, why do you support Captain Kuchiki in sending Rukia back? What if the ruling in Room 46 is the same as before?" Finally getting a chance to speak, Nanao angrily expressed her feelings for this time. The central idea of ​​the conversation.

"...However, it is unavoidable that if the enemy's calculations are too precise, Captain Kuchiki is extremely calm and wise, but with his aloof personality, he has never even heard of many sinister twists and turns. Being used by others... besides..." The curly-haired uncle stretched out on the chair with soft hands and feet, mysteriously took out a small flagon from his sleeves again. Naka took a leisurely sip of the wine, then squinted his eyes happily with the aroma of Daiginjo.

"Framing and framing costs money. It's clear now who is the one who loses everything in the end."

"Everyone, the secret document just sent by the Technology Development Bureau," the thin, white-haired good man took the small metal tube with blue luster from the hidden guard who passed by, and made complicated gestures when everyone looked back. Quickly press a few buttons, and after a quick glance, there is only a flash of light, and the metal barrel has disappeared.

"The analysis report of the remaining spirit particles obtained from the mirror in the enchantment that day has come out, Bai Zai, as you said, it is completely consistent with the data of the spirit particle specimens left in the virtual circle back then, but the specific location of the spirit particles Not sure yet." Ukitake patted Byakuya on the shoulder, then turned to look at Hirako, "In addition, the captain has agreed to Captain Kuchiki, Saraki and Heiko to go to Xuquan to have a look, and the [-]th team will accompany us. Captain Zhihua leads the third team to stay in the present world, and they can set off immediately."

"Haha, it's time to fight again!" Kenpachi Saragi, who had been lazily nestling aside, regained his energy in an instant. Little Lolita, "Let's go, little brats, hurry up and get ready to go through the gate..."

"..." Bai Zai, who was sitting by the side, squinted at the figure that disappeared after a few ups and downs, and narrowed his long and narrow phoenix eyes.

Immediately leave?With the current time... it is not a big problem to go back to Seilingting before the Mu Hua Festival.

"Why Baizai? Don't you want to go? Are you still worried about that little girl Rukia?" Hirako straightened his scarf, and after explaining a few words to Kira, he turned his head and saw the calm and immobile figure, baring his clean white teeth. come over.

"...It's nothing." Although he was still a little concerned about the information brought by Kuchiki's private guard that day, but there are some problems, it's better to go to the virtual circle to confirm in advance.As for that little girl, now that Yaomao and Urahara Kisuke are watching, and paying homage to the Spirit King as a "cover", it shouldn't cause any big trouble.With this in mind, he stood up, supported Qianben Sakura at his waist with one hand, put the other hand in his wide sleeve, and gently twisted a paper sunflower ball that just rolled down.

Since when, this action is as skillful as a long-standing habit.

The familiar texture of the small flower ball between his fingers reminded him that when he was arranging the scrolls the day before, he realized that the careless child had forgotten to bring the small azure round fan left on the skeleton.

It doesn't matter, anyway, it won't be too late to bring it to her when the Muhua Festival is held in a few days.

"Well~ you can learn from Kong Chan if you want to, but first of all, you have to have a clothes that are easy to take off, like—this—" The bold woman with purple hair and brown skin stretched out her long arms, and someone next to her who had just put Hong Ji away Skillfully and deftly, he offered the dark green coat on his shoulders.

Yoshikazu, in a suit handed over by Kisuke Urahara, smiled charmingly at Rukia. Rukia only felt that the smile hadn't fully bloomed yet, and she already felt the sudden change of wind behind her.

So subconsciously, with sparkling flowers on her feet, Rukia narrowly avoided the hands that were about to pat her shoulders.

"Oh~ The reaction is not bad~" Although it was just a demonstration, Ye Yi used one out of ten of his usual speed, but the sensitivity of this little girl made her golden eyes flash, "Back then, Xiao Baizai was caught by me. Lucia has a better future than your elder brother!" She joked half-truthfully, and was surprised to find that the girl who stopped in embarrassment was flushed.

"I'm sorry...Your Excellency Yoruichi..." Lucia looked at the three Yoruichi beside her in a daze, and finally decided to salute and apologize to the one who spoke.

Then she remembered the battle ten years ago, when she was sealed off her movements and spiritual consciousness, she subconsciously remembered the twirling posture of the white clothes, and the continuous dripping to the ground during Shunpo. , his blood.

I also wrote down his sentence, "What can't be tolerated is that you face my glory with a knife."

Brother, how are you now?

When eating, what I think of is your frown when you asked the housekeeper for hot sauce; They are all your figure that seems to be shining in the morning light; and now, I am very happy to be able to learn a footwork that you once used.

I always feel that if this is the case, I can get closer to you.

The three people who walked out of the practice field found that the sun had already set, and under the dark blue night, only the west still had a faint crimson color.

"Ah~ it looks like it's getting late, time flies so fast with little Rukia-chan..." The profiteer in the green bathrobe stretched his waist and yawned, and raised his hand to put a hand on his shoulder. black cat lifted up.

"Ye Yisang, let's go eat, shall we~~"

"Stupid... idiot, let me down!"

The remaining warm wind brings the unique atmosphere of summer night, and the cool moonlight flows on the blooming camellias along the road.A group of people walked through the thousand cherry trees in full bloom in spring, through the lisianthus flower field filled with purple mist, through the winding stream connected to the koi pond, and on the vermilion trees straddling the white stones beside the water. wooden bridge.

Rukia looked at the scenery that Bai Zai might see when he was walking on a summer night, and for a while she didn't know what day and night it was.

Was it a long time ago when you followed him in a daze last time?

"...So, Shunpo's speed is very important. Anyway, I fought today, and Rukia-chan performed well. Let's go to dinner first. Don't we have to fix the things I brought to Ichigo tonight? Hmm ? Rukia?"

Ye Yi, who had turned back into a cat shape and walked a few steps, looked back, and saw Urahara Kisuke who was smiling helplessly beside her, and Rukia who was far behind her, still looking back while walking.

"What did you see, so focused?"

"... Firefly. By the way, Your Excellency Yeyi, the Mu Hua Festival will be held in a few days."

"Ah~ What a long-lost celebration."

——"Rukia, the second condition."

——"Yes, my lord brother."

——"The bracelet must never be taken off. And this kimono."

--"But……"

——"I won't say it a second time. But...if the time is right for you to come back from this world, you can consider going to the Fireworks Festival this year at the Muhua Festival."

The moon without water, the girl's mood lingers by the water where fireflies are flickering.
