[Death] and listen to the singing

"Ichigo, tell me"

"……say what?"

"Your choice." Byakuya raised his eyebrows and looked at him. Ichigo found that the expressive Byakuya had a little bad personality, and the future Bingshan had an invisible black belly, um, he also had hidden demonic tendencies. .Side note: Especially at some point.It seems that the personality when you grow up is somewhat related to when you were a child.

Ichigo surrendered in embarrassment, "Byakuza, I understand, I will call you when I come to Liukun Street in the future, I promise you."

"You'd better remember your choice today, Ichigo." Byakuya narrowed his eyes dangerously, as if he would do something if Ichigo didn't keep his promise.

There is no other way, with Bai Zai's appearance, he would never want to get rid of him, and since he promised, he will definitely do it. "Then Bai Zai must also promise me that he will protect himself at all times."

Bai Zai lifted his chin slightly, narrowed his eyes slightly, "What do you mean by that?"

Ichigo chuckled, "That's the literal meaning~!" In addition to protecting himself from getting hurt, now there is an additional prerequisite, protecting Byakuya is the priority!

Byakuya strode forward and grabbed Ichigo's collar with his right hand, with sullen eyes that seemed to burst out, "Literally? What is literal? Don't make me laugh! Do you think I can't protect you? You look down on me?!"

It's too bad, Bai Zai seems to have exploded with anger.Although Ichigo has already acquired a perfect ability to resist Byakuya's low-pressure air-conditioning, but if he is really angry, Ichigo is still a little scared... and this little volcano in front of him is really too much for Ichigo, after all, he has a guilty conscience first, The back is not straight.

"Bai, Bai Zai, that's not what I meant! I didn't mean to look down on Bai Zai!"

"Oh? Then tell me, what do you mean." That tone seemed to say that he would not look good unless he was given a satisfactory explanation!

Because of the action of grabbing the collar, the heads of the two were very close, and because of his height, Bai Zai looked up at him slightly, which was similar to that of Bai Zai when he was an adult, so dark that he wanted to suck himself in. It's different, Bai Zai's black pupils are so black that they are still a young man, and it seems that all emotions can be expressed through those pupils.

Too similar to myself.

Ichigo softened his expression, with a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth, he stretched out his hand to cover the hand holding his collar, and said, "Baizai, can you let go first? This posture is very uncomfortable."

It was only then that Bai Zai realized what he had done in a moment of anger. The height difference of half a head forced him to look up at each other, getting too close, and the warm and sunny aura unique to the orange-haired boy hit his face one after another. , Bai Zai clearly saw his figure imprinted in the other party's clear and beautiful amber eyes.

only myself.

This distance is too close.

It was so close that I could hear the heartbeats of the two of them, "Boom, boom, boom." It was beating vigorously, as if it was next to the ears, very clear, terrifyingly clear.

Bai Zai shook off the collar he was clutching as if he had burned his hand and took two steps back, pinching his right hand again and again, as if he wanted to relieve the inexplicable burning sensation on his hand.Stuck his neck and turned his head away from looking at Ichigo suspiciously, his dry tone seemed very blunt, "Okay, you can explain now."

Ichigo scratched a few orange hairs on the top of his head, although he didn't understand why Byakuya suddenly repelled him, but this is not the problem to be solved now.

Ichigo withdrew his smile, looked at Bai Zai firmly, and said solemnly, "It's not that I look down on Bai Zai, nor do I not believe in Bai Zai's ability. It's just that neither I nor Bai Zai know about unknown dangers. Do you have the ability to deal with it, so I don’t want Byakuya to take risks.” Ichigo paused, “And Byakuya is the heir of the Kuchiki family, if I get injured because of me, my crime will be very serious.”

"Bai Zai's family will definitely be worried."

"What about you?" All the explanations only mentioned him, but not yourself, Ichigo.

"Yes, yes. My family and friends will also be worried." Ichigo smiled, and the faces of the Shiba brothers and sisters, Qingyin's face, Gin and Rangiku's, Rukia's and Renji's faces, Natsuri and Youzi's face, and Bai Zai's handsome face that is almost paralyzed but can turn one's heart into a pool of spring water. "So I swore to myself that I would never let myself get hurt again."

"Then, what about Byakuya?"

The young man who spoke like this, without hypocrisy, looked at himself with the most sincere and sincere expression, Bai Zai found that he could not continue to question, so he could only compromise, "Okay, I swear."

"I swear, I will protect myself from getting hurt. Are you satisfied now? Ichigo."

"Hey, satisfied! Very satisfied!~"

Although I was a little worried about Byakuya's safety, Ichigo was very happy to have Byakuya by his side, and he had already decided to deal with Aizen's "killer weapon", as long as he paid a little attention, he would never implicate others. "Then Baizai, let's go back to Lin An, I want to see Dong Shilang and Xiaotao."

Pointing to the earth pit filled with muddy water on the ground. "Here, what do you want to do?"

"Well, I'd better go back and tell Haiyan. At least I have to find out who Bai Fu's spiritual pressure is. It may be related to the disappearance, or it may not be. Anyway, let's find out first."

The two returned to Runlin'an's residential area, and walked to the hut that they visited yesterday. Ichigo knew that Byakuya was not good at communicating with people, so he had to do the knocking on the door by himself.

"Excuse me, is anyone home?"

After two more knocks, the door slowly opened.

"Is...you...?"

Ichigo was also a little surprised, the one who opened the door was not Toshiro's mother-in-law, but Toshiro himself.Facing those emerald green eyes that revealed strong hostility and vigilance, Ichigo rubbed his temples with a headache, sure enough, he still remembered the rough thing he did to him yesterday, right?

"What are you doing here today?" Toshiro only had to open the door ajar, blocking the open door with his whole body, obviously unwilling to let the two "saviors" Ichigo and Byakuya enter.

"Toshiro, can you let us go in first?" Ichigo asked tentatively.

Dong Shilang didn't even want to reject him, "No, I'm already in good health, and I don't need you anymore. You don't want to come to me anymore." He was about to close the door behind him, Bai Zai couldn't see it, and stepped forward Putting one foot against the door, "White-haired brat, is this how you treat your savior?"

"Oh, lifesavers, thank you for your life-saving grace. There is no way to repay this kindness, and I will repay it when I have a chance in the future." Dong Shilang said obviously perfunctory words, stepped on the foot that was against the door, pushed his hand, and the door opened. Then it closed crisply.

"This—damn brat!" Stepped on his foot? !How dare a commoner in Liuhun Street step on his foot? ! !

Bai Zai got angry and began to roll up his sleeves and was about to break in. Ichigo quickly stopped Bai Zai, sweating profusely to appease the young master who was about to go berserk, "Bai Zai, calm down, calm down! Dongshiro is still young, and he doesn't understand nobles. In terms of respect and etiquette, don't be as knowledgeable as a child!"

Byakuya had a ferocious face that wanted to raze the house in front of him, and he gritted his teeth viciously, "This brat! You've tarnished my honor as a nobleman! I must make him look good! Ichigo! Get out of the way!" "

Ah, what is the Kuchiki family's education like? Let's forget about the grown-up Byakuya. Why is the obviously underage (?) boy Byzai also full of glory and glory!Byakuya, don't you have anything else in your mind besides the glory of the nobility? !And what you are doing now!How can there be any glory that is worthy of nobility!

Of course Ichigo didn't dare to say these words to his face, he probably would run away on the spot if he said someone, so his heart broke, he hugged Bai Zai's waist and began to drag him back, patiently admonishing him, "Bai Zai, I just came to see how Toshiro is doing, we see him now, he's fine, goal accomplished, let's go home!"

Bai Zai probably finally realized how embarrassing it was for the two of them to argue, so he struggled in embarrassment and anger, "Let go!"

"Bai Zai promised me not to bother Shiro Dong, and I will let him go!"

"Is he your friend or am I your friend?!"

"Of course it's Byakuya!"

"Are you helping him or me?"

"Help you! Ah, no! Byakuya, you really don't want to go to level Toshiro's house, do you? It's immoral... and it doesn't conform to the rules of the nobility!" Ichigo seemed to have caught at straw General raised his voice and reminded, "How can a nobleman destroy other people's private property at will!"

"How do you know this?"

"...As a normal person, you can't deprive others of their private property at will." There are teachings in the modern textbooks, and this should be common in the world of corpses and souls.

Bai Zai was depressed for a while, before saying, "Okay, let go, I just don't do anything."

"Really?"

"Am I so untrustworthy in your eyes?"

"Haha...not anymore..." Ichigo let go as promised, Byakuya straightened the messed up clothes on the spot, and returned to his meticulous and dignified appearance.

"Is the other girl still going to see it?"

Ichigo tilted his head and thought for a while, "Xiaotao...Xiaotao didn't wake up yesterday, even if she wakes up today, she must not be in a good mood. Next time, bring some condolences when you come next time."

"Okay, let's go, go home."

"Well, Byakuya, I'll see you off!"

"...You said it the other way around?!"
