[Death] and listen to the singing

"Yo, Ichigo!"

Carelessly waving at Ichigo, compared to sitting upright with sleeves folded and eyes closed, Haiyan's half and half civilian temperament is vividly displayed in her gestures.Of course, as a born nobleman, no matter how ordinary she is, Haiyan knows the basic etiquette that should be followed at this time, "Master Kuchiki, my Ichigo bothered you~ I'm sorry!"

The white-haired old man opened his eyes slightly, and said calmly, "No, Ichigo-kun is Byakuya's friend, and Kuchiki's family welcomes him very much."

Haiyan chuckled, waved her hand as farewell to Master Kuchiki, got up and walked towards Ichigo.

Ichigo suddenly felt inexplicably nervous. He had made up his mind not to cause Haiyan any more trouble, and didn’t want to owe him more, but now he seemed to have done something superfluous, so he couldn’t help but dodge his gaze towards Haiyan, "Well, Haiyan, I... Feel sorry……"

Haiyan rubbed Ichigo's hair, "Why did Ichigo apologize?"

Ichigo blushed a little, annoyed why he didn't dodge in the first place, and stretched out his hand to protect his head to save his hair. He lowered his head and pulled the orange hair a few times to straighten it out. It's short hair anyway, so don't worry too much about it. "...Actually, Haiyan...you don't need to pick me up, I can go find you by myself..."

Haiyan rubbed her chin in doubt for a few seconds, then suddenly smiled with her eight shiny teeth, "If this is the case, it's the first time for my precious brother to be a guest at someone else's house. Wouldn't it be remiss of a big brother not to pick him up?"

"..."==##

"After all, it's Kuchiki's house, tsk tsk, no matter how many times you come to this place, you'll feel a little bit of a gimmick in your heart. It's too serious and rigid. It's completely different from ours. Hehe, with Ichigo's personality, I don't think you'll like it either. .”

Yes, there is nothing wrong, no matter how long you live in this family, or how long you stay with that person, you will never like everything in this family.Because I like that person and Bai Zai, I voluntarily stay by his side, trying to understand everything about him and the world he lives in, so I gradually get used to the seriousness and rigidity of this family, and the ruthless indifference of knowing that the rules are paramount. People use the so-called rules to bind themselves to maintain this family with great authority. What they shoulder is not just the responsibility of being the head of the family, but the entire Kuchiki family.

But habit doesn't mean liking, I don't like to see that person being harsh on me, although I will gradually restrain this harshness because of my own existence as a lover, and learn to relax, but Ichigo has always known that at a deep level In fact, there is no change in the inside, as in the past.Perhaps for that person, falling in love with themselves, choosing themselves, and living with themselves is already the biggest change.Habits allow Ichigo to live in this place and be with that person all the time, but he will never like this kind of life, this home.

At first, Ichigo naively thought of changing this family, but when he was Mrs. Kuchiki for the first time—well, his lover who was the head of the family (Raku: Is there a difference? Ichigo jumped out with a red face and shouted: Of course there is. You are only a wife and your whole family is a wife!! Luo: ... The little one doesn’t dare, the little one still wants to live well=△=/////////) —— the day when I moved into Kuchiki’s house, Facing the servants who bowed respectfully and bowed all over the place, he was a little stunned and inexplicably dazed. From now on, will he use this place as his home?

The rules and traditions that have been passed down from generation to generation for thousands of years can't be changed even if they are changed.This cognition gradually deepened in Kuchiki's not-so-long days.

Ichigo lowered his eyes and fell silent, yelling that he didn't want to be bound by the rules, if he had to abide by them, then he would break all those so-called rules, the change is the biggest.

"Okay, let's go, let's make an appointment with Captain Urahara after get off work today, but the captain is not very patient~ I wonder if he can abide by the agreement and stay and wait for us."

Haiyan patted Ichigo's not-so-broad shoulder, signaling to follow.

Ichigo lowered his head and slowly followed Haiyan's pace, raised his head subconsciously, and looked at the familiar and unfamiliar buildings around him, obviously so familiar with the pattern, but in fact it was the first time he came into contact with strange things without any sense of tacit understanding.

"Haiyan...maybe you are right, I...don't like this place." Ichigo suddenly stopped, turned his head and looked in a certain direction, knowing what was there, with a gentle smile on his face, "I never Haven't liked and never will like the vibe here, it's just—”

"...Ichigo?"

"—It's just that Byakuya is here, so I came here. It has nothing to do with the Kuchiki family."

It's just because of Bai Zai, because he deeply loves that man, that's all.

He changed for himself, and he changed for him, without hesitation.

"So, Haiyan, you don't have to pick me up next time, okay?"

Uncharacteristically, Haiyan didn't smile, but looked deeply at the orange-haired boy in front of her with pure and firm eyes, without saying a word.

After looking at each other for a while, Ichigo suddenly realized something, looked away in embarrassment, and whispered, "That, can't it?"

Haiyan sighed softly, smiled imperceptibly and then raised her usual smile, "I see, if Ichigo doesn't want me to pick it up, then I won't come, and don't get lost when you go home by yourself in the future!"

Ichigo thought that Haiyan misunderstood his words, and hurriedly wanted to explain, "It's not that I don't want it, it's just..."

Seeing Ichigo's nervous expression, Haiyan was in a good mood, stretched out her hand to rub the orange hair that felt very nice, "Ichigo, I understand what you mean, Ichigo has a good relationship with that stinky brat from the Kuchiki family, right? Oh, speaking of which, Kuchiki’s house rules are very strict, and it’s not bad for Ichigo to have such a friend, I’m very envious!”

In fact, it is more than envy.

Haiyan thought of the clan crest on the clothes he wore when she first met Ichigo, huh, what about Kuchiki... It shouldn't be the first time I came here.As for the others, he didn't want to know more about the involvement, except that Ichigo had to go back. He knew that no outsider could get involved in the bond between others.

Patiently straightening out the boy's messy hair, the boy in front of him stiffened his body with an embarrassing look on his face, with an unconsciously gentle expression, "I've always wanted to be like this, to have a younger brother like Ichigo ..."

The corner of Ichigo's mouth twitched, his articulate words were a little blurred, "Hai, Haiyan... no... it's not that there is Griffin..."

Haiyan was taken aback for a moment, and then said cheerfully, "Haha, that's right, there's also that boy Griffin, I almost forgot!"

Hey, can this kind of thing be forgotten? !

After straightening out, before Ichigo could react, Haiyan kissed Guangjie's forehead in satisfaction, "Okay, let's go! I heard that Captain Urahara often arrives late and leaves early. Anyway, it's a headache for the team members. We don't know if he gets off work. Are you still here, alas~ Ichigo, let's go!"

Ichigo covered his forehead with a blushing face and responded indiscriminately with a quick step, ah, he clearly made up his mind before not to have too much contact with Haiyan, why can't he react!Damn it must be that his strength is not enough!

Fortunately, the clogs and hats were still there when they arrived at the research office of the [-]th Division. In fact, Haiyan's worries were unnecessary. Very keen, such as studying the problem of Ichigo's time travel.

"Welcome to Kurosaki-kun~~ No, I should say welcome to Shiba-kun now~~~ Is there anything important about looking for me in such a hurry? If it is a question about the progress of going back, I am honored to tell you that you don't have to worry at all! Everything is fine. Under control!" Still frivolous Kansai dialect as always, sounding greasy, with unshaven beard and messy golden half-long hair, white haori casually draped over his body, but Ichigo knew that the one in front of him was smiling silly This kind of guy is definitely not as simple as it appears on the surface, just like the implicit but unfathomable spiritual pressure implied under the frivolous and exaggerated appearance when we first met, just like this person, but also his hidden strength.

"...Call me Kurosaki..." Ichigo coughed lightly and looked at Haiyan, "Well, Haiyan, I want to talk to Mr. Urahara alone..."

Haiyan didn't ask too much, "Then I'll wait for you outside, call me if you need anything."

Urahara watched Ichigo send Haiyan away with a smile, and smiled meaningfully, "Kurosaki-kun, you will regret it in the future if you treat your guardian like this."

"Haiyan...he shouldn't be involved in this matter...that's what I think."

Urahara chuckled, didn't he voluntarily get involved in it from the beginning?And I see him very willingly.But this is not what he needs to care about, so he turned back to the topic indifferently, "Then Kurosaki-kun, what do you want to know from me this time?"
