Walking the Fox

"chiba?" (Japanese pronunciation of Chiba)

The silver-haired boy frowned and read the girl's name.

"Matsumoto, it's strange. I haven't known her for a long time, but it feels like I've known her for a long time."

Matsumoto Rangiku didn't reply immediately, she lowered her head and played with the curly orange hair that fell on her shoulders.

Alice Academy is really big, there is not even the sound of silkworms in the woods at night, and the silence is too eerie.

At this point in time, Echizen Chiba had already gone back to the girls' dormitory to sleep, and now the only people talking in this empty forest were her and Toshirō Hitsugaya.

Moreover, both of them are still in the spirit state.

"Captain, if you like someone, just say it straight, don't beat around the bush and give so many reasons." Stopping playing with his hair, Matsumoto Rangiku suddenly raised his hand to cover his lips, and smiled ambiguously at the silver-haired boy sitting on the branch stand up.

The evening wind blew across his cheeks, blowing the boy's silver hair into a mess. He didn't pay much attention to what his deputy team said. The silver-haired boy raised his hand and wrapped the green scarf around his neck.

"Chisen... her condition...seems to be worse than before..." During the day, he contacted the captain of the first team far away in the world of corpses and souls. Only this time, his heart rose again. The hatred for Aizen, that man, besides betraying his trust, also hurt Chisentao, someone he cared about.

As soon as the topic changed, and it turned to Himori, Matsumoto Rangiku immediately flashed a figure in his mind.

Silver hair, blue eyes... That man is always like this, so what if he just said 'I'm sorry'?Could it be that if she apologized, she would not be hurt?What a fool.

"Matsumoto..."

Frowning tightly together, he called his deputy team. The silver-haired boy didn't care about Matsumoto Rangiku's non-answer, probably he could understand the other party's mood, they were the same.

"Don't tell her about Inoue Orihime, our purpose is to protect her."

"understood."

This time, she answered immediately. She always kept a clear distinction between private and business affairs.

"However, Captain, Kurosaki Ichigo and the others don't intend to tell Chiba about their intrusion into the virtual circle?" Orihime was taken away by Aizen's Pomen, so Echizen Chiba's situation is more critical.

"Let's keep it a secret. It's not suitable to tell her now."

Closing his eyes, the silver-haired boy thought for a while and decided that it would be better not to say anything for now.

"Yes."

Hiding it?Even if you can hide it, you won't be able to hide it for long. The child looked dumbfounded, but he was actually very smart.

Forget it, forget it, why bother?Anyway, the captain will take care of these things himself.

After figuring it out, Matsumoto Rangiku felt relieved.

The beautiful orange-haired beauty stretched out her hand to brush her long curly hair, revealing her charm inadvertently, but the only silver-haired boy present didn't feel anything and just ignored it.

"Captain, it's getting late, I'll go back to bed first." She winked at the silver-haired boy, and Matsumoto Rangiku disappeared from his sight in a blink of an eye.

The shadows of the trees are mottled, the branches and leaves are swaying, and the boy is still sitting alone on the tree thinking about his thoughts.

Thinking of Hina Morita, thinking of Aizen, thinking of grandma, thinking of what happened over the years.

As he thought about it, another figure appeared in his mind.

Echizen Chiba, who was originally a travel accident and later became a benefactor of the soul world.

He couldn't forget the scene of the girl appearing in front of him for the first time, because the impression was too deep.

There are a pair of animal ears on her head, and a fluffy white tail flicking behind her. She holds a persimmon cake in her hand. Yes, it is the persimmon cake that Ichimaru Yin likes to eat the most. She eats it in small bites, She ate one piece very quickly, and after she finished eating one piece, she ate the second piece immediately, and just like that, she ate up all the persimmon cakes in the bag piece by piece.

At that time, when the members of their [-]th squad informed him that they had arrived at the scene, they were also taken aback by the girl's appearance.

A girl with fox ears and a fox tail is sitting on the bright avenue and eating persimmon cakes. It looks weird, and although her appearance was a bit strange at the time, it is undeniable that her appearance is indeed very similar to that described by Ichimaru Gin Similar, a little girl with long black hair, black eyes, and a white dress.

Therefore, she was arrested by him.

Without a trace of resistance, she was grabbed by them obediently.

Looking at him with strange eyes, he followed him into the prison of the tenth squad.

Although she didn't say anything, she unexpectedly understood him. It was strange, and he didn't intend to treat her like a prisoner, and the two got along in a strange way, until...he discovered the world of soul strange... and then...

There's nothing left to say, it's just like that later, the relationship between him and the girl suddenly became better than before, just like... a good friend for decades so let the flow take its course.

That kind of feeling is really strange, obviously we have only known each other not long ago, but it feels like we have known each other for a long time.

And he didn't hate that feeling.

That's fine now.

Under the bright moonlight, the silver-haired boy was sitting on a branch, with a slight smile on his face that didn't smile often.

******

The next day, the school was as usual, and nothing major happened. The only major event was Hinata Zao and Sakura Mikan again, which caused a series of troubles.

Sitting in the seat and listening to the instructor's class, she continued to sleep on her stomach, while Toshiro Hitsugaya, the silver-haired boy, was paying attention to the movement nearby. Yes, from just now, he felt something was wrong, something Breaking through the enchantment of this academy and breaking in, the Reiatsu is a bit strange, and it is not yet confirmed whether it is empty or not.

When the bell rang for the end of get out of class, the girl opened her eyes, stuck out her tongue and unconsciously licked her dry lips, and slept for a class, she was so hungry that she was dying.I don't know why, but she is just hungry, and nothing can satisfy her hunger, as if a bottomless pit has appeared in her stomach, and her stomach is probably better than Taotie.

Taking out the lunch box that was supposed to be for lunch, she began to eat her after-school snacks.

Everyone in the class is used to it, and the girl's obsession with eating has calmed them down.

Isn't it edible?There are more people in the school who can eat.

They won't be surprised by such a trivial matter!

So, everyone did their own things, and they were not surprised by her difference at all. Anyway, there are many magical things in Alice Academy.

One bite at a time, the silver-haired boy sitting next to him suddenly ran out after finishing the food in the lunch box.

Quickly, there was no one in the blink of an eye.

The people in the class were surprised by this move, and Echizen Chiba received many people's eyes in an instant.

Accepting the curious gazes from everyone calmly, she silently put away the lunch box, slowly stood up from the table, and walked out of the classroom without saying hello to anyone.

Standing outside, there was a gleam of cold light in those dull dark pupils, and looking out of the window, I saw silver white and orange running towards the gate of the academy quickly.

Walking to the window and putting her hands on the window sill, she didn't look back, but said quietly, "Since you're here, why don't you come out?"

Unexpectedly, his whereabouts were discovered, and he saw a young man with the same silver hair as the young man wearing a white robe slowly walking out from the shadow of the corner.

"Well, how did you find out? I obviously hid the Reiatsu." The visitor was a very familiar person to Matsumoto Rangiku, but to the girl, it was just a person who had met before and was relatively kind.

In her memory, the spy, Mr. Death, ended his last life in the near future, that is, in the winter battle.

"Feeling and breath." She has no spiritual power, only magic power, and she doesn't know very well about the identification of spiritual power. Even after staying in the soul world for so long, she still doesn't understand spiritual power.

That is a power different from magic power.

Without raising her eyes or turning her head to the other party, she sighed, suddenly drooped her shoulders, and leaned lazily against the window frame.

"What are you going to do? I probably know, otherwise you wouldn't have tricked them into letting them go and arresting me yourself."

"Ah, I didn't expect you to be so smart." Gin Ichimaru narrowed his eyes, he walked up to the girl, and didn't grab her immediately. He thought the human girl in front of him was very interesting and had a keen intuition. Unfortunately, Aizen Those who are targeted will definitely be used to death.

"Thank you for the compliment." There was no wave in her voice, she kept her eyes open and looked at the scenery outside.

"My name is Ichimaru Gin. It's not right for the first time. It's the second time we've met, Echizen Chiba."

"Hello." It didn't seem like she wanted to know each other at all, her face was still turned out of the window, anyway, she wouldn't remember him in a while, it didn't matter whether she remembered or not.

"Then, should we go?" The silver-haired young man sounded like he was asking, but in fact his tone was a bit tough. He would not give the girl a chance to resist, and he didn't care who he sacrificed before his goal was achieved. .

"Okay." She will not resist, now is not the time to resist, the boy and Matsumoto Ranju are not this man's opponents.

She understands well.

Although she didn't finish watching Grim Reaper until she died, she knew one thing, that Gin Ichimaru was not a simple person.

Turning around, it was the first time she saw this man face to face.

Fair skin and fine eyes, blue eyes, silver hair... This is such a person, for Matsumoto Rangiku, who has been lurking beside the person he hates most for more than 100 years.

However, he couldn't compare with her young man, and soon this man's face would disappear completely from her mind.

Her prosopagnosia is really serious, it is a disease, a disease that cannot be cured.

Stretching out her hand towards him, the girl said without expression, "Let's go."

Holding her hand, Ichimaru Gin still felt a bit of surprise in his heart. The girl's reaction was really strange, but strange is strange, and it was a good thing to be able to take the girl away so smoothly.

With a twitch at the corner of his mouth, he bent down to pick up the girl, and jumped out of the window.

In an instant, a hole was cut in the sky, and Ichimaru Gin carried the girl into the black cavity.

The moment the black cavity closed, she seemed to hear the boy's voice in her ears.

But what about hearing it?She couldn't respond.

This time, she must use her own hands to change the bad luck that once fell on the boy...
