Just as the students were hiding from the gravel, a barrier fell from the sky.Reaper's help to the students has never been so timely.

The silver-haired boy stood at the corner of the square barrier surrounding the landslide mountain, looking down at the flustered students: "In case of emergency, all activities are suspended. Please gather at the exit."

"There's one more person who hasn't come out—" shouted an impatient person.

"I know." Gin Ichimaru interrupted him, "We've been watching you. Now, everyone, please go back."

The boy's soft tone carried a well-thought-out calm, and the students who knew their limited strength left out of obedience to their superiors.After all the students disappeared, the corner of Ichimaru Gin's mouth dropped slightly.

"Vice-captain Ichimaru?" The Shinigami who was maintaining the barrier asked him for instructions on what to do next.

"Among the students who just left, is there Kuchiki Byakuya?" Ichimaru Gin asked.

The gods of death were all taken aback.

The boy went on to say: "I just saw him rush in." He raised his pale finger and pointed to the thick pile of rubble behind the barrier, "Remove the barrier."

Sweat appeared on the foreheads of the gods of death almost immediately. There were more than 60 students in a class, and they couldn't take care of each of them.But if something happened to Kuchiki Byakuya, they would definitely be held jointly and severally responsible.Before Ichimaru Gin finished speaking, they had already withdrawn the barrier in a hurry.

The gravel crashed down.

"How did you get in?"

"You have to go."

"Why do you want to come in?"

"You are my partner."

"...how is it outside?"

"Reaper is here, very timely." The boy paused, "I saw Ichimaru Gin."

Aoki Qingtong leaned against the rock, Kuchiki Byakuya clung to her.They are now in a triangle between two rocks and are not in danger for the time being.They dared not move for fear of another collapse.

"I don't understand." Aoki Qingtong said, "Since the god of death has already arrived, why did you rush in? We don't seem to know each other that well?"

"People from Kuchiki's family will not leave their companions and escape alone." Kuchiki Byakuya replied sternly, "It has nothing to do with familiarity." The young man was a little puzzled, "Did you hear what I just said? Ichimaru Gin is here."

"I heard it." Aoki said with a smile, "He is the god of death, he must have accepted the task to do security work. It's not for me."

"Hey, Kuchiki, I think you are getting more and more rigid. It's not on the battlefield, it's just collapsed. Why are you so serious? What are you talking about escaping..."

"It's a habit, it has nothing to do with timing."

"I'm really not used to it." She and Byakuya Kuchiki are people from two worlds.

"How do you know you are familiar?" Byakuya Kuchiki suddenly asked.

Aoki was stunned: "Why do you ask this?"

"If the definition of familiarity is the way you get along with Ichimaru Yin, then I am afraid that few people in the world can be called familiar."

"Familiarity has many ways of getting along, and Ichimaru Gin and I are just one of them." Aoki felt a little confused, couldn't figure out why Kuchiki Byakuya would bring up this topic, and felt a little evasive in his heart.Then suddenly inspiration flashed, "You, don't you know how to treat others well?"

Kuchiki Byakuya hesitated for a moment: "You can say that." It was rare for him to say much, "How should I express it? Could it be that 'Do you want to be friends with me'? It's too naive. But if I don't say it, how can I convey it? Want to make friends? I want to make friends, but I don’t want to be selfish for friends, so what can I do for friends? What’s the point of making me a friend?”

"Why can't you say that?" In the darkness, there was a slight smile in Aoki's voice, "'Will you make friends with me' is a formal and direct sentence. A straight line can save a lot of trouble than a roundabout way. As Deadwood The next Patriarch of the family, your status is a great reliance of your friends, even if you are not selfish... your friends can also get a lot of convenience. You don't have to think too much about others, you are different, dead wood, as long as you If you want friends, you can be hugged—”

"That's not a real friend."

"...So, you have developed the temperament you have now?" Aoki tilted his head slightly, in the darkness, only Kuchiki Byakuya's vague outline could be seen.

That's not a real friend.

Kuchiki Byakuya actually knew everything.Aoki was a little ashamed, he brought up this topic not because he was at a loss, not to listen to Aoki's opinion, but just to talk.Aoki's impression of Kuchiki Byakuya is always that of the irritable nobleman he saw for the first time. Even if he behaves calmly in the future, the girl still looks down on him a little.In Aoki's perception, nobles with a good life are always young children - just like her who was once protected under the wings of her mother.

She was wrong.As she herself said, Kuchiki Byakuya is different.

"Then, you should be more domineering, and replace 'will you be friends with me' with 'will you follow me', although it sounds a bit dandy, but it is absolutely solemn and powerful when you say it from your dead wood." Aoki temporarily changed his mind. I am sorry for the irrelevant preaching tone, "After getting along for a long time, you will be able to tell which ones are really thinking about you and regard you as a leader. At that time, if you treat them as friends again, I believe they will feel your heart."

"Long time, how long?"

"It varies from person to person, I don't know."

"Three years, is it enough?"

"……what?"

"Tsuchimikado, do you feel my heart? I have always regarded you as a friend."

The Kuchiki family will not give the young master's partner a gift for no reason.

The perfect score given by Kuchiki Yinling made Tsuchimikado Atsushi enter Kuchiki Byakuya's sight from the very beginning.For three years, Kuchiki Byakuya has been silent day by day, and Tsuchimikado is still active. The existence of the girl undoubtedly adds color to the boy's life.Because Tsuchimikado is his partner, and because Aizen behind her is very popular, Kuchiki Yinling always asks Kuchiki Byakuya about his homework when he comes home from vacation.The girl is indeed excellent, living up to the results given by Kuchiki Yinling.

"Byakuza, you are much calmer now than before, which is good, but young people tend to become lifeless so easily, communicate more with others, such as Tsuchimikado."

This is approval.

"It's not convenient for Captain Aizen to go to Mao, so you can bring something to Tsuchimikado for him."

Then, there was further communication.

It's not that Grandpa Kuchiki Byakuya doesn't understand his intentions, and it's more or less utilitarian, but he doesn't reject at all contact with that seemingly indifferent girl who is actually a weird elf.

Kuchiki Byakuya is not stupid, born into a noble family, he will not be a simple-minded person.See, the topic finally came to the end he wanted.

Qingmu Qingtong paused for a moment, and said in a low voice, slowly: "I also regard you as a friend. But—"

"I can't do anything for you." She was very serious about the last sentence, she couldn't tell Aizen's plan because of Kuchiki Byakuya's words, she could only use this as a warning known teenagers.Aoki knew that this sentence would not have any effect, but by saying it, she could find an excuse for herself in exchange for a little peace of mind.

Living in the dark for a long time, those tiny lights are always extraordinarily moving.So many people who are familiar with intrigues have embarked on the road of eternal doom.Because Matsumoto Rangiku, Ichimaru Gin is one.

Aoki didn't want to be the second after him.So Kuchiki Byakuya's next words made her extremely uncomfortable.

There was a rare briskness in the boy's voice, as if he returned to the innocent kid who didn't know how to hide his feelings when he met for the first time: "I don't need you to do anything."
