Walking the Fox

Leaving the old lair of the Phantom Troupe and safely returning to the downtown area, no one spoke a word until they saw Leorio waving at them at the entrance of the hotel. Qiya and Xiaojie were really relieved. Too strong, not something they can easily solve.

Back at the hotel room where they were staying, Chiba looked around curiously. Unexpectedly, she was very close to the silver-haired boy before. The residence arranged by Paknotan was across the street from this hotel. It is very close to the Youkexin Auction, so there are a little more people living in than usual.

Sitting on the sofa, the girl gave Leorio a sweet smile against the curious gaze he sent him.A certain young man who poured her a glass of water, who was definitely not young in appearance, was hit by this smile, his face turned red instantly, and Leorio scratched the back of his head embarrassingly.

"Thank you." She picked up the cup and drank directly, facing the protagonist trio of Hunter World, she was not too restrained.

"What's the name of this young lady?" Leorie had a rough idea in his mind. The moment the girl appeared with his arm around Hitsugaya Toshirou, he knew that the black-haired girl was the one the silver-haired boy had been looking for all along. .

"Just call me Qianye, uncle." She put down the teacup in her hand, and shifted her gaze to the silver-haired boy standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.

Toshirō Hitsugaya didn't look at her, but stood in front of the window with a cold face, looking at the commotion outside the window with a stern expression.As soon as Xiaojie came back, he flung himself on the bed. He looked at the silver-haired boy, and then at Qianye. For some reason, he always felt that the atmosphere was a bit depressing, but it seems that now is not the time to speak out.

"Hey, what method did you use to break that guy?" Qi Ya still can't let it go, he thought he was the most powerless person, but he turned out to be so powerful.

"It's useless, just snap his wrist away." Looking sideways, this is the first time Chiba has looked at Qi Ya, with short silver hair and big cat eyes, so cute, no wonder he likes Qi Ya There are so many three-dimensional people, especially this kid and Xiaojie in green clothes are so passionate. "What? Do you think I'm weak?"

I don't think so, it's just weak at all!

Qi Ya slandered silently in his heart, but at the moment when the black-haired girl broke Nobunaga's hand away, he felt a bit of coldness from her body. A shiver, maybe others were far away and didn't notice it, but he, Hisoka and Nobunaga who wrestled with her all felt it.

Leorio didn't speak, he just smiled awkwardly, and while smiling, he gave Qiya a look, telling him not to talk nonsense.

Xiaojie got up from the bed and sat cross-legged. He stared at Qianye for a long time before saying something. "Qi Ya, Chiba has no thought power." At that time, Chiba beat Nobunaga by arm wrestling, and even he was surprised. The opponent looked so weak. Could it be that this is the kind of legend that Qi Ya kept mentioning? The strange girl?

"Yeah, I don't have any mental power at all, I look weak." After finishing speaking, the beautiful Maotong still glanced intentionally or unintentionally at Toshirō Hitsugaya who stood at the window without saying a word.When he saw this boy with the same silver hair for the first time, he was really taken aback. As far as he knew, only people in the world who beat the enemy's family would have such light hair color. At first, he thought Could it be that his father owed a romantic debt outside, but when he thought about his mother's temperament, and felt that the possibility of his father having an affair was zero, how could he explain his hair color?It can't be dyed, can it?The color isn't that bright either.

These days, he has been struggling with this problem.

Qianye didn't speak, she did look weak, not only her, even the silver-haired boy looked weak, one of them deliberately suppressed their own spiritual power, and the other deliberately hid the magic power in their bodies, naturally they were just like ordinary people. same as people.

"Ah, I'm exhausted, and Kurapika can't be contacted." Scratching his silver hair, Kiya mumbled, took off his shoes, and sat cross-legged on the sofa.

Afterwards, no one spoke, and the depressive atmosphere eroded everyone's nerves little by little. After a long time, unable to bear this atmosphere, the talkative and boisterous Leorie broke the silence. "Hey, what are you going to have for dinner tonight?"

This is nonsense, without any nutrition, but at least it has some effect.

Chiba, who is already fond of food, looked at Leori eagerly, and was obviously aroused by this topic. She didn't seem to have eaten much since she came out. No wonder she felt that she seemed to have forgotten something important. It turned out to be I forgot to eat.

"What's there to eat? I'm hungry," she said.

"I found a nice restaurant nearby, let's go now?" The only one who counted as cheering was Chiba, who made her love it?

"Okay, okay." Nodding, Qianye quickly stood up from the sofa.

This time, she didn't go to see the silver-haired boy, probably because she knew he was angry. Although she didn't know why he was angry, she didn't ask any further questions.The meeting with Junxun on April [-] made her think through a lot of things. In the near future, her journey with Toshirō Hitsugaya will end, the silver-haired boy will return to his place, and she will continue to Travel until you find a world that can accept her.

It will be a long and endless journey, and perhaps, after her death, this journey will not end.

When Leorie proposed to eat, Xiaojie and Qiya naturally jumped up and down, and Toshirō Hitsugaya had a cold face, but he still came along.

In the restaurant, there were a lot of people eating. At this time, everyone stopped their chopsticks and looked at Chiba's table with surprised eyes. The girl looked small, but her appetite shocked many people. .How edible is this?In the future, whoever dares to marry a girl who can eat so much will probably be poor... I'll see, but you can't forget to eat, Leorie picked up the knife and fork, silently poked the chicken chop in front of him, and raised the corners of his mouth to freeze With an arc, said: "Hehe, little Chiba, it's really delicious."

"Is there?" Tilting her head, the girl who had just stuffed a piece of meat looked at Leori.

Leorio didn't reply, but his expression already answered.

This is really not ordinary edible.

Qi Ya, who was grabbing food with Xiaojie, slandered silently beside him.

After they finished eating, the night had quietly fallen. From the beginning to the end, Hitsugaya Toshirō just refused to say a word to her, and she didn't take the initiative to go to him.Along the way, she has been walking beside Leo Li, chatting with you and me about some particularly unnutritious topics, but generally speaking, chatting with uncle is still very pleasant.

When arriving at the hotel, Hitsugaya Toshiro spoke.

"Chiba, it's time for us to talk."

As soon as she stopped walking, she didn't turn her head back immediately. She paused for about a minute before turning around to look at him and nodding. "good."

Yeah, it's time to talk, she's sure the silver-haired boy must have discovered something.

"Xiaojie, go back to the guest room with Leorie and rest. I have something to talk to Chiba alone. Don't worry, we'll be back soon." After the silver-haired boy finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the rest area in the lobby past.

There is always a sitting area in the lobby of a big hotel, which is a convenient place for hotel guests to rest while waiting.Qianye moved his steps and followed the silver-haired boy to the rest area in the corner of the lobby, where almost no one would pass by. The green bonsai covered most of the lights in the lobby, making it very dark and infiltrating.

Seeing the two of them leave, Leorie winked at Qi Ya and Xiao Jie, and said, "Hey, are you curious, what does Shiro Dong want to say to Chiba?"

"Leo Li, eavesdropping is wrong." Xiaojie looked at him and said.

"Hey, what is eavesdropping? Let's find a seat close to them and sit down. That's an aboveboard listening, not eavesdropping." Leo Li said this with confidence.

"Then let's go." Qi Ya actually wanted to eavesdrop. He really wanted to know the identities of these two people. Even if the other party didn't have any malicious intentions, it's always good to be vigilant.

After finishing speaking, regardless of the entangled Xiaojie, he directly dragged him and Leorie to the sofa near the corner.

Here, neither of the two people who had already sat down spoke first, Chiba was waiting, waiting for Toshirō Hitsugaya to ask her.

"Qianye, do you have anything to say to me?" After a while, the silver-haired boy spoke.

"...En." She was obviously waiting for him to speak, but now that he asked, she didn't know how to answer, how should she say those words?

The girl lowered her head quietly, not looking at the silver-haired boy.

"What are you hiding?" The iconic frown appeared.

She looked at the hands on her lap, but said nothing.

"Originally, I didn't intend to ask, but this time... I have to ask, there are too many mysteries about you. When we were brought into this world by that strange force, I didn't think much about it until you and The moment the man wrestled his wrists and faintly exuded that force, I seemed to understand something. Chiba, please answer me honestly. At that time, the target of that sudden force was you, right? It wanted to Take you away from the soul world?"

There was still no answer, but the corners of his mouth curled up with a bit of bitterness.

The person she likes is really smart.

There are many things that she doesn't need to clarify, the other party can figure it out by herself.

Seeing her silent, Hitsugaya Toshiro realized that what he said just now was not his guess.

"I know I'm missing part of my memory, and those memories are about you." As he spoke, he glanced at Chiba who raised his head at his words and showed a surprised expression. "Don't deny it, I know, I've always known, it's not accidental that you appeared by my side... You know me very well, even sometimes, I think you know me better than myself, you know a lot of things in the soul world, and you know There are many people in the Thirteenth Section of the Court, you are familiar with them, I can feel it. At the beginning, the captain wanted to investigate you, but under my guarantee, he chose to turn a blind eye to you, Because at that time, he discovered that you were just an ordinary little white fox, without any threat. Although I noticed a strange power in your body, but that power was too weak, simply put, it can be ignored Gradually, you turned into a human, and although the ears and tail have not disappeared, the power hidden in your body has become stronger and stronger until... now." Speaking of this, he looked at the He glanced at Chiba.

Qianye's body trembled a little bit, she never spoke, but her face turned pale a little bit.

The silver-haired boy didn't speak after that, he just stared at Chiba.

Being looked at like that, Chiba pulled the corners of her lips, showed a wry smile, and said: "Dongshiro is Dongshiro, no matter how you hide it, you can always guess something, just like the Aizen incident, the only one who found something wrong People, and only you. You are right, we have known each other before, and we have known each other for a long time, not only you, but also Sister Luanju and Brother Yihu know me, but now... none of you I remember. The power you mentioned is magic power, not spiritual power, not demon power, it is another power different from yours. I... am not born with magic power, because of a certain incident, I was forcibly Infused with this magical power, as I grew up, this magical power merged with my soul and became a part of my body. I met you in the Aizen incident, and Brother Ichigo went to save sister Rukia At that time, I was caught by you as a travel accident...We got to know each other later." She still couldn't tell the truth, should she tell him, in fact, it was more than that, they knew each other a long, long time ago, but You have already died once, it was she who went back in time and made a wrong decision, which caused many things to happen later, causing the fate of many people to be rewritten, and then...

There are some things that I can't tell Hitsugaya Toshiro, since the world has been corrected, there is no need to mention the past, she avoids those things that they don't remember because she doesn't know how to say it.

The silver-haired boy was obviously stunned for a moment when he heard her words. He had thought about many possibilities, but he never thought about this possibility. They knew each other, and they knew each other quite early. Even Matsumoto and the others also treated her She is familiar, but...why don't they remember her?The question in his heart was expanding, no matter how he imagined, this question could not be answered, and the other party obviously didn't want to answer his question very much.

Staring at the girl's pale face, Hitsugaya Toshirō sighed softly, but finally did not continue to ask.

Standing up from the black hard sofa, he walked towards her, rubbed her head, and said, "I'm sorry, it doesn't mean anything else, it's just... I don't like that you hide everything in your heart, and you don't want to tell me .”

Biting her lip, Chiba stretched out her hands, wrapped her arms around the opponent's body, and buried her face in his collarbone, tears could not help but fall, for some reason, she just wanted to cry.

He raised his hand to hug her, the expression on the silver-haired boy's face became very gentle, he rubbed her head, didn't speak, just quietly let the other party hug him tightly and cry.
