[Comprehensive] The same return

I want to force the years to turn back, back to the time when children first met. --Kokichi Sawada

Even if the sky in the world of corpses and souls resembles the real world, it is still different after all.

Sawada Tsunayoshi thought so, but still kept his hands in the simple kimono, and looked up at the unknown high place that even if there was no cloud, his eyes could not penetrate.The breeze blew through his bangs.

The blue to cloudless sky imprinted into the eyes of the young boy standing by the stream, and lost its brilliance in an instant in the nearly golden red eyes that were like the last show of the setting sun.

However, the quiet and picturesque scene of one person and one scene was quickly broken.

The paper door leading to the courtyard was pulled open shortly after the sound of hurried footsteps. From the hurried voice of the girl, one could hear how annoyed she was at the moment.

"Brother Tsunayoshi! Renji has eaten Bawang Meal again! This is the third time this week!"

"Didn't I get used to it when I was in Xudiao? Didn't you give them money... Ouch, let go of my ears, Rukia!"

The melancholy in my heart was forcibly dispersed as soon as it was brought up, and Tsunayoshi Sawada looked back at the pair of live treasures helplessly, "Forget it, Rukia, after all, we have just moved to Area 60 not long ago, Renji still retains the old habits are inevitable."

A Sanjing Renji, who thought he was being supported, immediately became confident, "Did you hear that, this is instinct! Does instinct know!"

Gang Ji patiently listened to the pair of Huanxi lovers pinching for a while, and then said calmly, "But next time you encounter this kind of situation, you can just mortgage your Renji to the boss to wash the dishes. It also adds some income to the family.”

"..."

When A Sanjing Renji heard this, he just wanted to protest, but he was suppressed by the look of the young Piao Piao, who he regarded as his big brother.

Brother QAQ, I was wrong!Never dare again!Please don't force me to wash dishes in the store!

A Sanjing, the red-haired puppy, and Renji were crying and chirping.

"Don't show such a disgusting expression to big brother!" Rukia punched down and it was a bag.

After being teased by them, this residence located in a remote place has gained a little popularity.

It was the third year after Sawada Tsunayoshi came to this world that he met Rukia and Asai Renji.

His luck was a little bit bad, because the place where he first woke up, I later found out, was the entire Soul World—which is also the name of the place he came to now—area 80, where the law and order is the worst.

The last scene in his memory is the scene where he forgot Chihiro's advice and deviated from the path of time and space that he should take, and when he fell, Chihiro also jumped off.

At that time, he felt that he was falling very fast, so he didn't underestimate Chihiro's expression.But he thought, no matter what kind of differences they had, after all, he still wanted to go back to her, and Chihiro would not leave him alone.

But even so, in the end he and Chihiro were separated.

No, it might not be correct to say that they were separated. When he was told that this place was called Soul World, a place where only dead souls would come, he thought, so he was dead.

During the time when he and Jin traveled around, Tsuna had never heard of the movement of time and space, and even saw people and objects with such abilities with his own eyes, but they were all extremely dangerous without exception.

This is the case for time and space transfer in the same world, let alone traveling through different worlds?

So, is he dead?So what about Chihiro?Did Chihiro, who jumped down with him, also die?To become what they call 'whole', to this afterlife?

He doesn't know.

Not long after staying in Area 80, he had already seen the ugliness of human nature.Those who want to survive here will do everything they can.Children born here either died or were used as rations by the hungry.And children who can grow up to two years old already know how to hold a blade and plunge it into the heart of others.

It's like another Meteor Street.

Sawada Tsunayoshi thought, he always seemed to have a special relationship with such a place, but last time, Chihiro took him away under the protection of Chihiro; but now, he is the only one left.

There is only one person left...

There has never been such a real sense of loneliness. Only then did Tsunayoshi Sawada realize how wrong it was in the last world to think that their feelings would eventually fade with time, and it would be okay to leave each other.

I can separate because I actually know that the other party and I are still somewhere in the same world; I know that she is alive and well; I also know that the other party understands that I am also fine.That's why it doesn't matter, even if there is a brief separation, the subconscious is clearer than anyone else, and one day, we will meet again and come to each other.

And now, there is nothing.

But Tsunayoshi Sawada still has hope in his heart, that Chihiro can be found here.

If Chihiro had woken up in another place, she would have come to look for him, he firmly believed.

Then he slowly moved from Area 80 to Area 78, which took two full years.Then, I met Renji Asai, who was chased and beaten miserably, and Rukia, who stood in front of him and knew he was invincible, but had very strong eyes.

It was Rukia's unwavering eyes and the unyielding in the fiery red pupils of the boy protected behind her that were too dazzling. Tsunayoshi Sawada, who had learned the lesson many times before and rarely meddled in other people's business, made the move.

Maybe the journey alone is too lonely. When seeing the two people who have experienced countless injustices and still have no haze in their eyes and support each other, Tsunayoshi Sawada seems to see a similar figure.Although in fact, they have nothing in common, but he just couldn't help it, couldn't help but want to help them a little more.

After that, at Rukia's suggestion, he was recognized as their eldest brother.

Many people in Liuhun Street have no relatives after their newborns. If they grow up together and are very close, they will spontaneously regard each other as family members. This is already a default rule.

Even after death, people are still social animals. They don't want to be alone and lonely, and hope to have someone who can trust, tolerate and be close to them.

With two babies【…】, Tsunayoshi Sawada, who has shrunk and looks like only seventeen or eight years old, is about to start thinking about three mouths, which saves a lot of time Sad feeling autumn.In the end, relying on his excellent fonts and drawing ability—it was only then that he realized that hunters have learned skills that can keep him from starving to death in any world—Sawada Tsunayoshi slowly brought back two meats The children moved to Liuhun Street near the front.

After all, even if I can sit and draw pictures and write at home for a long time, but if the two brats are going out for a while, the law and order should be better.

Tsunayoshi Sawada, who consciously promoted to become a baby daddy, felt that his heart was broken.

"Rukia."

The next morning, when Tsunayoshi Sawada went out to deliver the ordered scrolls, Asai Renji sneakily knocked on the door of his childhood friend.

"Why, look like you are going to do something bad." Lukia grew up with this guy, and she has seen through him completely, and said vigilantly, "Let's say that if you mess with me again today, I will really leave you behind." You don't care!"

Lianji rolled his eyes, "I can't tell you, I'm not so naive." He rolled his eyes, with a big bad wolf's face seducing Little Red Riding Hood, "Tell me, should we also help big brother make money? ah?"

"What? You?" Rukia looked suspicious + contemptuous.

It's not that she looks down on Renji, but to be honest, not to mention Renji, she herself was only recently taught to read by Brother Tsuna.Before meeting Big Brother Gang Ji, they were running around for survival every day. Apart from fighting and escaping, the two of them were more proficient. She really couldn't think of anything they could do to help Big Brother now. It would be nice if they didn't hold back.

"Forget it, it's better to listen to my brother and learn to read honestly now. I will naturally help my brother in the future."

These are also Tsunayoshi's original words, but Renji firmly believes that the elder brother is just coaxing children, and for precocious little adults like them, this trick is useless.

"Didn't elder brother teach us how to draw pictures before? We can go and see what elder brother draws, and then try to draw together. If we sell a few more cents in this way, won't we have more income?"

Rukia still thinks it makes sense at first.

but……

"Brother seems to have finished painting and going out. Those paintings must have been taken out together."

"I won't take them all away, there will always be some left, such as broken paintings, my brother's own collection. Let's go and have a look." Knowing that Rukia has been shaken, Renji felt that his idea was really too much. Okay, "If we can also make money, we can give big brother a surprise. It will be big brother's birthday after a while..."

Rukia finally nodded.

The two little devils who were thieves in their own house estimated that it would take a long time for Tsunayoshi to deliver paintings or something, so they were very relieved that they didn't leave anyone to let the wind go, and they sneaked into Sawada Tsunayoshi's place without any concealment. Room.

The room is not big, clean and simple.Just a tatami mat, a writing desk with drawers and a chair, it is easy to see where things are stored.

Sure enough, when Lucia opened the third drawer, she saw a stack of folders placed one by one by some delicate plastic transparent paper.

"Love..."

"Found it?" Renji also leaned over his head, very happy, "This is it!"

But when he saw clearly that the paintings inside were figures, he was at a loss just like Rukia.

"Who are these...?"

It's not that they haven't seen Gang Ji's paintings and Gang Ji's paintings, but those are landscape paintings. In their impression, he has never painted figures.Even if sometimes someone does pay him to paint a portrait, but how?Are these paintings in front of you too simple?

There are no complicated draft lines and background paintings that make people's eyes shine. It's just a few simple strokes that outline the upper body of a character.

Although it was concise, for some reason it made Rukia feel like crying.

After a long time, Rukia realized that it was because each of these pictures contained the painter's extreme longing and the softness hidden deep in his heart.

The first one is a young woman with a family scarf and short hair; the second one is a boy with two strange crutches in his hand, sharp and indifferent eyes, and short short hair, with hiragana on the side The strange pronunciation is noted, it seems to be pronounced as [Wow]; the third one is a hedgehog head; the fourth one is a portrait of a character with a face similar to the third one, but it looks like a girl at first glance.

One after another, until the last one was turned.

This is a different portrait than before, because it can be seen that the person who painted it should have wiped the painting repeatedly, and the paper was a little worn after painting, but even so, this painting is still not completed.

This is a picture without facial features... No, it might not be correct to say that. You can see a lot of smears on the paper, and you can barely see the various eyes and the curvature of the mouth, but they were all wiped off in the end. , leaving a blank face on the paper.

Not only that, the careful Rukia saw that there were wrinkled edges on the side due to water stains.

Who is the unfinished portrait?

Are these people people that brother Gangji knew before?So where have they all gone now?

Although Rukia and Renji are careless, especially after having the big brother Tsunayoshi, the two children who know what it is like to be pampered and even go shopping, but they still understand what they should understand.

Everyone has a restricted area in their hearts that cannot be touched. Today, it is their fault, they are too reckless.

In the end, the two children stood obediently in a row after Gangji came home in the afternoon, confessed what they had done, and hoped to be forgiven.

Tsunayoshi Sawada, who was startled by the suddenly depressed child, laughed softly after listening carefully to what they said, and even patted the heads of Rukia and Renji in a good mood.

"It's okay. Since I didn't lock it on purpose, it's not something I can't see. They are my former family and friends."

When a person dies and comes to the soul world, he will not have the memory of his life.So Rukia and Renji took it for granted that Tsunayoshi was talking about things before they met them; and Tsunayoshi, who knew this, didn't intend to really reveal that he had memories of his previous life. If a Seling Court is caught by them as "a person with memories of his life", he will probably be overwhelmed and walk around.

However, he had been thinking about it alone for long enough, and he also hoped to be able to confide selectively.

Turning out the portraits that he had painted with his heart, Tsunayoshi Sawada introduced them one by one, "This is Nana's mother, she is a very gentle person, and everything is delicious; this person, named Hibari Kyoya, is mine. Friend... oh, but don't let him know I call his friend, or he'll beat me to death; this is another friend who boxed very well..."

Tsuna Yoshi's voice is softer than Rukia has ever seen. Although Tsuna Yoshi is usually gentle with her and Renji, when Tsuna Yoshi talks about these family members and friends, it feels as if she has given up all of herself. tenderness.

Finally, he turned to the last page.

The thumb subconsciously rubbed over the face of this figure, and the smile at the beginning has disappeared.

"Her name is Chihiro." This time, Tsuna was silent for a while, "If I have any wish in this world, it would probably be to meet her again..."

"Is she also an important friend of Brother Tsunayoshi?" Rukia asked, tilting her head.

"It's a very important family." Gang Ji corrected, "It's very important."

"Since it's so important, why did brother Tsunayoshi separate from her?" Renji asked puzzled.

Provoking Rukia kicked angrily, "Idiot Renji!" If you can't speak, don't speak!Don't you see, Brother Tsunaji looks like...

Are you about to cry?

"Yeah, since it's so important, why did they separate?"

Sawada Tsunayoshi said softly, and closed the album.

At the very beginning, he chose to leave him behind, and it was Chihiro who only left him with a back; then he decided to also leave Chihiro with a back, and walked the opposite path to Chihiro.To prove that Chihiro was wrong.But in the end, no one is right, and no one is wrong.

It's just that two people chose different ideas to live their own lives.

When I first drew these, it was out of fear.I found out with horror that maybe too long time had passed, and the impression of my relatives and friends around me at the beginning seemed to gradually blur.

Gang Ji was afraid, he was afraid that because of the passage of time, one day he would forget them - just like the others who forgot their previous lives.

He is not afraid of death, and death itself has nothing to fear.What people fear is nothing but the unknown and forgetting after death.

Forget what you have done, the important people you have ever had, why you were happy, why you were crazy, why you were sad—afraid to forget yourself.

It's not that I didn't think about it, if I didn't look back at that time; if I didn't want to hold Chihiro's hand again, but just walked back obediently along that road, would everything be different?

Maybe he will return to the original world, return to Nana's mother, reunite with his friends again, and tell them: he is back.

It's just that there is no Chihiro in the world after going back.

Is this what he wants?Sawada Tsunayoshi thought about it seriously, and the answer was no.

Remember, he thought.

He still remembered that day, because he was worried about Chihiro, the anxiety in his heart became more and more severe, so he chose to knock on Qianxun's door in the middle of the night, and then found that Chihiro was not at home.

Since he was a child, he had an amazing intuition, which was greatly affirmed and praised by Jin when he was looking for the ruins with Jin.

At that time, his directness kept urging him to find Chihiro.That's why he ran to the back of the school, because he thought Chihiro would be there.

In the beginning, he just wanted to keep Chihiro.That being the case, if Chihiro cannot be brought back together, then what is the point of everything he has done and suffered?

So, Tsuna thought, this is probably his only obsession.

He had a feeling that Chihiro was somewhere in this world.That's why he slowly moved towards the place where Ruhun Street was closer to Seireitei.

He wants to find her.
