[Death] and listen to the singing

?Hmm...my body is so hot...so uncomfortable...

Ichigo... Ichigo... Be good, take it easy...

Ah——there, there...it hurts, slow——

Ichigo, Ichigo... raise your waist up a bit... yes, good boy...

Ah, ah... no, I'm going... I'm going to come out... Well, Bai...!

Ichigo opened his eyes suddenly, sat up, panted heavily, wiped the sweat from his forehead with one hand, touched his cheeks, his hands were so hot, he could almost imagine how red his face was dripping blood .

Ah, don't be like this... It's just that I haven't seen that guy for a few days...

"Kurosaki-kun, are you in a hurry to go back? 』

Urahara's words sounded in his ears, he was different from the profiteer with a hippie smile more than 100 years later, but the pair of unfathomable eyes hidden behind the stupid expression were as unfathomable as more than 100 years later, making Ichigo believe in him without hesitation and put his future To commit to him.

『If Kurosaki-kun is not in a hurry, please give me more time to study it carefully.It's interesting, but I probably have to ensure Kurosaki-kun's safety first, right? ~” The words implied something, although he was just a young man of unknown origin, the conspicuous family crest on the young man’s clothes alone was enough for him to worry about.And if what this boy said is true, heh, more than 100 years later~

『So, until the relevant results are obtained, I would like to ask Kurosaki-kun to stay here for a while. 』

"Oh, that's it..." The expression of disappointment is obvious, but in the current state, the only person I can rely on is the person in front of me who believed what he said without any hesitation, no matter how far-fetched it sounds.

"Of course, during this period of time, Kurosaki-kun should not reveal too much about his background.It would be a very bad situation if anyone with a heart finds out about his origin and identity if he recklessly finds someone to directly show his identity like this. 』

"I know that too, but since it's a clog hat, you—eh, I'm talking to Urahara-san, so it shouldn't matter. 』There is complete trust in the amber eyes, and a natural expression on the face.

Ah, when it came to why he believed what this boy said without the slightest hesitation, it was probably because of the boy's trust in him. ——Almost whatever you ask yourself, the other party will answer.

Although he is really interested in the matter of traveling through time and space.

Are you in a hurry to go back...?

His arms slowly wrapped around his bent knees, resting his chin on them.

Who would... be in a hurry to go back...

Kuchiki Byakuya……

"Ichigo, are you awake?"

"Ah, that's it." The knock on the door interrupted Ichigo's thoughts, and Ichigo hurriedly got up and made the bed.Seeing the neatly folded moon-white kimono on the bedside, Ichigo stroked the delicate cherry pattern marks on the clothes with his hands a few times, sighed, packed them into the closet, and changed into another ordinary plain-colored kimono .

Opening the door, what greeted my eyes was the familiar black deadly costume, with an inexplicable sense of intimacy.

"Yo, Ichigo, good morning." The owner of the dead bully turned around with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Haiyan, good morning." Ichigo returned a sincere smile.

"Don't call Ichigo 'Sir', 'Sir', it makes me look very old, Ichigo looks so much like me, it seems like I have a younger brother, since Ichigo will protect us from today It’s time to go home, don’t be so unfamiliar, Ichigo can call me Haiyan!”

"Ah, well... Haiyan... so?"

Haiyan reached out and rubbed Ichigo's orange hair, her eyes narrowed into a line, her eyebrows arched, "Haha, that's it."

Ichigo turned his head to the side, trying to avoid the hand that was holding his hair, but failed, "Hair is messed up!"

"It's okay, it's okay, only when you're in a mess! Be like me haha~"

Ichigo pursed his lips, suddenly made up his mind and asked, "Haiyan, can I ask you a question?"

"What? Ask. I will try my best to answer any questions that are beyond my knowledge."

Ichigo didn't catch his breath. He still couldn't accept that the legendary "Shiba Haiyan" was such an incomprehensible person. When he thought of Byakuya's relationship with this man... Ichigo couldn't help cursing, "Stinky Byakuza, rotten wood, what are you?" His eyesight actually fell in love with this kind of man!I didn't realize that I had demoted myself into it by the way...

"Actually, it's nothing, I just want to ask..." Ichigo muttered a few words, but couldn't continue.People kindly take in me whose background is unknown, but I have doubts here, even if the target is Shiba Haiyan, Ichigo still feels guilty and guilty.

"Huh? What are you asking? Dinner is about to start, and if you don't go to the dining room, Konghe will go crazy. Hurry up and finish asking and let's go eat!"

Ahhh, how can you be so careless!Should he be said to be too naive or too idiotic? "Actually, I want to ask, why are you willing to take me in? Not only do I have an unknown origin, but also a suspicious identity, right? Just relying on Mr. Urahara's promise, this is too..."

"Let's just talk about this? I still have to think about this kind of question for a long time! If you want to take it in, you can take it in~"

Hello! "—I said, you are not afraid of my conspiracy or something..."

"Ah, why?" As if wondering herself, Haiyan held her forehead in annoyance, "I want to take in you who are homeless and have nowhere to go, because I found out," Haiyan suddenly turned serious, and Ichigo was startled After a jump, I couldn't help becoming nervous. What is the reason that people can take in a stranger with completely unknown origin?

"Ichigo, you have a nice face!"

...are you a narcissist? !

"And Ichigo's eyes are amber!"

…………… Blue veins, I really can’t expect too much from this guy!

"Haha, just kidding, don't be so angry. But, you really want to know why?"

Ichigo took a deep breath, calmed down, and looked at Haiyan persistently, "Of course."

"Okay, okay, don't look at me so seriously, I'm not used to it!" Haiyan spread her hands helplessly, "Ichigo doesn't know, some people's eyes can tell others about their master. Isn't there a saying What, are the eyes the windows of the soul? That’s pretty much what it means.”

"Ichigo's eyes are very clean and clear." It is the kind of clarity that has not experienced tricks, darkness, ups and downs, pure and without a trace of impurities, and is well protected by others. "I believe Ichigo will not harm Jing Lingting."

"How do you know that I just..."

"This is intuition~"

"Huh?" Judging people by intuition?Do all thirteen fans do this?No wonder no one can see through Aizen, how capable that guy is!

"Hey, but-"

"but?"

"—Compared to trusting you, I actually trust my intuition~ It's very accurate!"

"……"It's enough……

"Huh? Ichigo, what's wrong with you?"

out of force. "...Let's go to the dining room quickly..."

Adhering to the principle of "the strong eat the weak", the dining table at Zhibo's house has always been very lively.A hundred years later, Ichigo has eaten at Shiba's house many times. He has already learned about this, and it feels like returning to his own home.

But in Kuchiki's house, such a scene never appeared, and Ichigo regretted it for a long time.The Kuchiki family that will be lively is not the Kuchiki family.

It was only now that Ichigo suddenly realized that the man had changed so many rules and broken so many rules for him, but the Kuchiki family was still the Kuchiki family.This will never change.
