Walking the Fox

Qianye walked through the long and narrow corridor, walking towards the only bright spot in the darkness.Passing through the corridor, a vast and winding dark space is imprinted in front of her eyes. The glimmer of light she saw before seems to be just her illusion. There is water under her feet, and she can feel the water under her feet. How deep it was, almost up to her knees.

Someone seemed to be approaching in the distance, and that person was holding a white paper lantern. As she got closer, she could clearly see the person coming, it was a young man, he was wearing a long black jacket with red trim, and he had short black hair combed. He has to be submissive and meticulous, with a pair of shallow-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose. He walks on the water, as if floating on it.

"April [-] brother."

"Finally got in touch with you, Qianye." In every world, the only people who still remember Qianye are him and Mokona.

On April [-], Jun Xun walked slowly to the girl, stretched out his other free hand, and rubbed her head.

"Looks like a good time." He smiled.

"What about you? Are you still...waiting for Yuko?" On April [-], Jun Xun's feeling was different from the past, and people would indeed change over time.

"En." He nodded with a gentle expression.

"Brother April [-]st, did you contact me through a dream because..." She didn't say the following words, but she knew that Jun Xun understood her meaning on April [-]st, and also knew why she hesitated to speak .

"Qianye, there is something wrong with your situation." The lantern in his hand hung in the air, and the flickering lights shone on the faces of the two, pale and colorless. Jun Xun stretched out his hand on April [-]st, slender, White hands brushed the strands of hair that fell on her cheeks behind her ears. "Qianye, do you know? Although the world has been restored to its original state, and the cloned coyotes and Sakura survived because of you, but...things that have been destroyed cannot be completely restored, and the reason for Fei Wang's destruction is the same. , one of them is yourself, and Xiaolang himself. In the closed circle now, it should be your parents' Echizen Ryoma and Echizen Satsuki who have completely cut off contact with you. The current daughter of those two people is also the only one. Your daughter is no longer Echizen Chiba, but... Echizen Chiya who exists the same as you. The ring was indeed broken at that time, but you still have Echizen Chiya, and she was also left behind...becoming a Individuals connected by place, in this regard alone, you are the same as Xiaolang, and I am the same as Echizen Chia."

"Is that why I was forced to leave Soul World?" she asked, a trace of calm in her voice.

"Yes, although in the beginning you stayed with Hitsugaya Toshiro in the form of a little white fox, but that was just a stopgap measure. After that battle, you almost consumed all your magic power, and turning into a little white fox was just to save you Only the remaining magic power. Chiba, you should have noticed it yourself. When you return to the half-beast state, your magic power is much stronger than when you were a little white fox. When you are no longer in the half-beast state , your magic power can be said to have returned to the original... The magic power that Fei Wang forcibly stripped from your body...leaved Sakura's body and returned to your body... After all, there are fragments of your soul in that magic power. It will eventually return to the original owner's side."

"Regaining strength, but losing the qualification to stay with him is meaningless to me." She said softly.

"Qianye, now you can't stay in one place for a long time. Even if you don't want to, the rules will force you to take you to the next world." The pale light shone on Jun Xun's face on April [-]st, reflecting His expression at the moment is a little cold.

"In order to keep my parents, the price you paid was [the relationship between everyone and you], and Ikuko used what I owed you to pay for your wish [to be with Hitsugaya Toshiro] The price, because of your wish, the rules brought him to another world." The girl didn't speak, so Jun Xun continued on April [-]st.

"What is the difference between my price and what the little wolf paid?" The corner of her mouth curled up with bitterness, the girl lowered her head, looking much more depressed. "Brother April [-]st, Dongshiro can't continue traveling with me, can he?"

Jun Xun didn't answer immediately on April [-], he just sighed lightly.

"Brother April [-]st, in the revised world, in a sense, I, you, Xiaolang, and Qianya have all become [existences that do not conform to reason]. The impact we have on time and space It’s unknown. In order to minimize the impact, you chose to stay in one place, while Xiaolang chose not to stay in one place... As for me, I chose to stay in the place where Hitsugaya Toshiro is, Chia Over there, she doesn't know that she was created by my mistakes, and... because of my mother, her influence on this world has been reduced, hasn't it?"

"Yes, your mother Echizen Satsuki is an [individual not connected to each world]. Although I don't know her situation very well, she didn't destroy the principles of the world, so...after the world is corrected, after you From the moment she cut off all contact with your parents, Echizen Chia has become an independent individual who can continue to exist in this world."

"Now, my choice has changed. In order not to affect the world that was finally corrected, I must continue to travel like the little wolf until..." The lips trembled, but he did not say the following words.

"Until...you can find a world where you can stay and recognize your existence..." On April [-]st, Jun Xun answered Qianye's unspoken words. "Toshirō Hitsugaya belongs to that world after all. Although he is traveling with you now, the end of his journey will be his original world... Chiba, you should understand the wish [to be with Toshirō Hitsugaya]" , you are unable to pay the price, unless... the price is paid by Toshiro Hitsugaya himself."

"No, I don't want him to pay the price. The price is too great. Asking him to give up everything and stay with me is too selfish. It doesn't matter. I have grown up, and I am no longer the self-righteous little girl I used to be. On April [-], brother, I really hope... I can meet you again, not in a dream..." It seems that she has figured out something, or maybe she has figured it out a long time ago, so she didn't force too much, and now she is happy enough, Why bother to ask for more that cannot be achieved?

"I'm looking forward to that too..." Kneeling down, Jun Xun took out a chain from his pocket on April [-]st. It was a silver chain with two small butterfly-shaped pendants at the end, which was very delicate. "This is for communication. We can communicate through this chain if something happens."

"En." Nodding, she put the chain on her right wrist.

The silver chain was pressed against the skin of her wrist, and there was a hint of coolness. She touched it lightly with her hand, and found herself awake after a while, staring at the ceiling with the luxurious crystal chandelier above her head, she sat up from the bed.Turning his head and looking around the room, he found that Paknotan, who was still in the room before, was gone, and there was a piece of paper pressed by a teacup on the coffee table opposite the bed.

******

Paknotan joined the members of the brigade. It seemed that no one had lived in the deserted house for many years. The walls and roof were made of ordinary cement, and messy stones were piled up all over the house. A few people dressed in different clothes sat inside, the night fell, it was pitch black, but there was no lighting in the room except for a candle with a faint orange light, in a dark corner, a man in a fancy windbreaker The man was sitting there, holding a book in his hand, not paying any attention to the dim environment at the moment.

Sitting in the corner and continuing to wait, Paknotan, who had nothing to do, soon remembered about Chiba. That girl was full of mysteries, even her appearance... That child should be a strange beast that can transform into a human. Well, her memory... when she touched that girl, she explored that child's memory, but those memories are all related to a boy named Toshiro Hitsugaya, and the others... can't be seen at all... That silver-haired boy is the one she is looking for, right?Silver hair is a rare hair color, and...

As if thinking of some possibility, Paknotan frowned unconsciously.

She thought of a family, in each generation there will be a silver-haired person, will it be from that family?But the last name is wrong.Thinking of this, she shook her head, feeling that she was a bit unfounded in worrying, she just picked up a cute little pet, why should she worry so much?A little less like myself.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and finally all the people from the brigade arrived. They will gather in Youkexin this time for the annual Youkexin auction. Items... Such a big move can be said to be unprecedented. This is almost an enemy of the mafia all over the world, but they don't care. If they care, they are not the A-level criminal gang Phantom Troupe.

******

The auction street is full of buyers and sellers. The boy in the deadly costume can easily attract the attention of the people around him, but he doesn't care about these gazes at all. He just sits by the fountain and thinks about things. When he comes here, then It has been many days, and I have met new people through Xiaojie and Qi Ya, such as the uncle next to him who is wearing a black suit and looks to be in his thirties, but his actual age is only 19 years old.

"Hey, Shiro Toshiro, don't you go to have a look around with Xiaojie and Qi Ya?" Leorio asked.

"I'm not interested in those." He just wanted to find Chiba now.

"..." The corner of his mouth twitched, and Leorio suddenly didn't know what to talk to the silver-haired boy. It was obvious that Hitsugaya Toshiro was not the type he was good at dealing with. Talking and acting are more orderly than adults, which was deeply discovered in the recent relationship.

The atmosphere of silence spread, and Leorio couldn't stand the atmosphere, so he chatted again when he was idle.

"Xiaojie said, are you looking for someone?" He asked.

"kindness."

"Who are you?" Leorie's gossip ignited, and he was a little curious.

"Important people." She lowered her head quietly and answered concisely.

"Important person? Hey, hey, it can't be the person you like, right?" Leorio can't be blamed for thinking wrongly, it's really... normal people would think wrongly.

He raised his head and glanced at Leori, he nodded without hiding anything.

Seeing the silver-haired boy admit it, Leorio was a little excited, but more melancholy.

Look, he has a girlfriend at a young age, and he is still a loner until now. He has lived for nineteen years and has never held the hand of a soft and cute girl. This is really... Too much mustard.

Just when Leorie was mourning that he had no relationship with the opposite sex, Xiaojie and Qiya came back. They returned empty-handed this time. Compared with the previous two days, today is really fruitless. There is still one day before the auction starts. How can they shoot GI games without collecting the necessary basic money?Besides, the auction price of the game is extremely expensive.

"No harvest?" Leorio asked.

"In the past two days, we have searched all the good ones nearby, so there are no good things left." Qi Ya curled his lips, clasping his hands behind his head, with a pair of round cat eyes full of impatience.

For the first time, he found that lack of money was a very worrying thing.

"Then why don't you try my method?" Pointing to himself, an idea formed in Leorie's mind. He felt that this method of making money was much better than their wandering around here.

"What method?" Xiaojie, with drooping shoulders, immediately regained his energy, and he looked at Leori expectantly.

"Well, we'll find out in the evening, let's go eat now, okay? You're not hungry." He basked in the sun for several hours, his eyes stared at him, and his stomach was almost flat.

It's okay not to say this, but Toshiro Hitsugaya also felt a little hungry when he said it.

The temperature here is very high, and for people who hate hot weather, it is simply torture.

"Then let's go, let's have a meal first!"

Leo Leo has always been a man of action.
