[Death Doujin] Ink dyed white smoke

The gentle and graceful mother once said that she yearned for the strength to protect her family, and that's why she became the god of death.

Although Moran Xianyi doesn't understand why such a gentle mother always has an involuntary attachment in her eyes when she talks about strength, but she really likes her mother who has a pure smile like a lily of the valley.

In the archives of the Zhenyang Academy of Spiritual Arts, Mo Ranxian found the graduation album of his parents according to the year.After being concerned by Room 46, she felt that it was necessary to investigate this, so she happened to go to the archives room while Zuo was a specially-appointed teacher of Ghost Dao.

"Miss Mo Ran looks like Senior Tsubaki." With just a casual glance, the man withdrew his gaze and took the previous textbooks off the shelf to read, before dropping a sentence lightly.

"You don't have to turn a corner and say that I'm not as good-looking as my mother, Captain Aizan." Mo Ran Xianyi sat at the only small table in the room, leaning his fingers on his cheek and squinting at the man who was sorting out the materials.She had a calm face and a soft voice, and she didn't feel the slightest displeasure about it.

Moran Lily of the Valley is a beauty in the true sense: beautiful and profound features, slender figure, and charming posture. Although her appearance is bright and extroverted, her temperament is very gentle and charming.

The only thing she resembled her mother was her fair skin and well-maintained hair—although her hair color followed her father's.The mother's hair is black and reddish, and under the candlelight, it will emit fine golden light.

Lan Ran raised the corners of her lips slightly when she heard the words, but did not stop her movements: "You have to face the reality."

"...Don't force me to find out your graduation photo." Mo Ran Xianyi smiled, she wanted to see how young he was during Mao's time.

"Please."

snort.Mo Ran Xianyi turned his head away, suppressed the urge to read thousands of graduation albums in front of the file cabinet, opened the schedule book he carried with him, and copied down the names of a few familiar people.

It turned out that Fujido Ryuichi and her mother were classmates, and her father graduated nearly 20 years earlier than them, and in terms of age, she was older than Kuchiki Byakuya's father Sosumi.

Can't tell, that baby-faced father.

Moran Xianyi looked at the childish parents in the photo with a little nostalgia, with a slight smile on his lips.

The sunlight coming in from the window hit the soft face of the woman, making that smile even more sweet.There were only the two of them in the archives room, and apart from the sound of pages being turned, the space around her seemed to be still, forming a landscape of its own.

Aizen stood in the shadow in front of the textbook cabinet, wondering what attracted him to this woman.

At first, it was because of the interesting Zanpakutō that caught his attention, but this novelty quickly disappeared, and the existence of Moran Xianyi was erased by him for a long time. He had to admit that the first time he saw the long hair cut When he saw her, he really forgot about this woman—fortunately, with his excellent memory, he quickly remembered her last name.

Later at the year-end party, he was a little surprised by her ghost ability, and her cooperation with Kuchiki was even more surprising.Without words, she can immediately judge what the other party thinks with just one movement; without discussion, she can give her back to the other party with peace of mind.At that time, Moran Xianyi showed a complex emotion of gratitude but sadness for Kuchiki's exact response to her thoughts.

What really made him remember this name was when she casually said that they all wore masks on the way back from the annual meeting of nobles.

After that, it will be after the present world.

He found a woman who armed herself with a smile. When responding to his question "Why did you deliberately transfer to the present world?", staring at those clear and pure eyes, she rarely stubbornly said that it was because she wanted to become stronger.Looking into those eyes, he blurted out "Maybe I can help you" by mistake, then suddenly looked back──

The hands are already connected.

Thinking of her mother's appearance, Mo Ran Xianyi's facial features are actually very ordinary, but she is very smart and knows how to distract herself.As a work, she let him see his growth bit by bit, and then as a woman, she sewed up her miss for him stitch by stitch.

"Hey, Captain Aizen." Holding his cheek with his right hand and drawing a circle on the graduation book with his left finger, Mo Ran Xianyi couldn't see the expression of the man in the shadow clearly, and turned his head slightly to call.

"Huh?" Putting the old materials in his hand back on the shelf, Lan Ran leaned against the wall with arms crossed, looking at the other party with a sly smile.

"Do you know my parents?"

"I've only seen it a few times from a distance." Although Aizen didn't know why, he still answered honestly.

Moran Xianyi suddenly became interested: "Would you like to guess which team they belong to?"

Aizen smiled in a low voice: "I know that Senior Tsubaki is the chief officer of the first team, but Senior Suzuran hasn't heard of it."

"They met on the line of duty," the story of father's love at first sight for mother she was forced to hear countless times as a daughter, "Guess what!"

The image of Mo Ran Lily of the Valley appeared in his mind, and Lan Ran saw her face full of anticipation, thinking of going along with her occasionally, so he gave him the most likely answer: "Squad [-]?"

"My mother knows nothing about healing ghosts."

"Squad Thirteen?" Thinking that Fuzhu seems to be an old acquaintance of Mo Ran and his wife, Ai Ran guessed again.

Seeing Mo Ranxian shaking her index finger left and right, Aizen read the teasing meaning from her expression.After the Sixth Division and the Ninth Division were denied respectively, he simply asked her to announce the answer directly.

Slowly getting up from the chair, Moran Xianyi put the graduation albums back into the filing cabinet in order.The shadow made her unable to see the man's expression clearly, so she had to look closer.

With a proud face, she stood in front of Lan Ran and raised her head to face him, announcing the answer majestically.

"My mother is the vice-captain." Mo Ran Xianyi smiled and squinted, proud that something happened that he didn't expect, "The [-]th team."

Ink-dyed lily of the valley, which looks weak and slender, is actually an out-and-out combatant—and a combat fanatic who loves flowers.

When Mo Ranchun was in trouble fighting Xu, he led the [-]th team to come to support, and then when Mo Ranchun went to the [-]th team to thank him, he didn't have long eyes and stepped on the daisy she planted next to him. He slapped loudly.

The beautiful and gentle mother is strong and fierce when facing the enemy.Although there are times when she is vulnerable and sad, that is her father's chance to show off.

"Just let you not judge people by their appearance." Moran Xianyi happily stretched out his index finger to poke Lan Ran's chest, feeling the pleasure of successful revenge.Hmph, why did he always say she wasn't good-looking enough!

Gently grabbing the woman's paw, Ai Ran liked her proud look: "Miss Mo Ran, I don't know if I should say something."

Without waiting for Mo Ran Xianyi to respond, Lan Ran let go of her hand and teased in a low voice: "If I really judge people by their appearance, you may not have a chance at all."

"...Captain Lan Ran, I'm injured," Mo Ran Xianyi lowered his head, with a sad tone, "Really."

"What can I do for you?"

"I need a hug," Mo Ran Xianyi shook his shoulders, "maybe I need a compliment."

Seeing this, Lan Ran smiled in his eyes: "Is that so..."

Under the mask in front of everyone, his young lady had a face that he couldn't get tired of seeing.

"Miss Mo Ran, your hands are white and tender, with long and slender fingers, and it's just right for me to hold you." Lan Ran held her hands hanging by her sides, and she was not surprised to see her ears turn red, and she pulled her into it with a chuckle. In her arms, she lowered her head and whispered in her ear, "I have done everything I can to help your wounded heart, and remember to wait until the blushing on your face fades before going out."

If you can't find an opponent who can stand by his side, then it doesn't hurt to find a woman who can lean on his shoulders.

After finishing speaking, Lan Ran smiled and retreated away from Mo Ran Xianyi with squinted eyes, opened the door and walked out with the materials he needed.

Before closing the door, the captain's haori fluttering in the wind raised a beautiful arc in front of Moran Xianyi's eyes, just like the happy smile on her face at the moment.

***

There is no so-called god belief in the world of corpses and souls. Occasionally, I see shrines similar to the real world on Liuhun Street. Most of them are symbolic buildings built by the souls who came to the world of corpses and thanked for their beliefs during their lifetime. The closer to the center The large shrine even holds various festivals according to the current season.

After Moran Xianyi returned to the world of corpses and souls, she especially liked to walk around these places, which reminded her of the freshness and joy of visiting with friends in the present world.

But in fact, compared to faith, what she likes is actually the small vendors at the festival.

The Autumn Harvest Festival is for the residents of Ruhun Street, and the Moon Viewing Festival the next day is the product of the Seireitei nobles and Shinigami arty.But no matter which side, it is generally a lively day. Except for the three teams responsible for security and hard work, all the gods of death can be laid off on time to participate in the celebration.

"Auntie, when is Daddy coming?" The pink and jade-carved little man was lying on the wooden floor with his hands on his cheeks, and there were a few volumes of picture books with exquisite pictures beside him. Moran Xianyi asked after reading half of the storybook.

This year, the [-]th, [-]th, and [-]th divisions are in charge of the security. As Chuan Yuni's parents and elder brother are on duty, and the elders of the Miyajima family are away on a trip, they ask Mrs. Suzuki to help them take care of the little girl, and Moran Kanyi is laid off to participate Before the ceremony, help them take the children to the Baidaomen where the handover takes place.

Mo Ran Xianyi saw that it was still early before the appointment with Lan Ran, so he wasn't too nervous: "Auntie will take you to find your dad later."

"Okay──" the girl's sweet voice was soft and sweet, "Is the prince going to find the princess?"

"Not yet, because our little Youni hasn't helped the prince out of the maze yet." Putting the storybook on his lap on the floor, Moran Xianyi pointed to the interactive games in the book and smiled, "Little Youni can help the prince get out of the maze." Are you busy?"

"Okay──" The ending sounded long, Ji Chuan Youni obediently stretched out her index finger and gestured on the book. After walking for a while, she got stuck on the wall. She turned her head to look at her aunt, her almond eyes widened. OK?"

Mo Ran Xianyi was taken aback when he heard the words, the five-year-old child actually knew Shunpo: "Perhaps a Western prince can't learn it."

"This prince can't do it." The little girl shook her head like a grown-up, "Daddy is better."

"I know your dad is better, but little Youni still has to help the prince out! You just hit a wall." Mo Ran Xianyi smiled, knowing that she was making excuses for not being able to get out of the maze.

Ji Chuan Youni pursed her mouth, this trick was useless to Aunt Xianyi.He lowered his head and continued to draw in the maze on the paper, and finally got stuck in the wall before the exit.

As soon as the niece raised her head, Moran Xianyi raised the corners of her lips and shook her head, and the girl turned her head back when she saw this.About a quarter of an hour later, she finally broke through the maze, and raised her hands happily: "The prince is going to find the princess!"

"Yes," Mo Ran Xianyi, sensing the familiar spiritual pressure behind him, clipped the bookmark into the page to make a mark, closed the book and said with a smile, "Our little Youni is also going to find Dadbi!"

"Yeah──" Youni jumped up excitedly, looked up and saw herself in a beautiful kimono in the full-length mirror, and happily turned around twice, unexpectedly tripping her feet and falling back.

"Your niece is quite like you."

The man's deep and deep voice was full of teasing, Mo Ranxian stood up and adjusted the kimono indifferently, and took the Patriarch Haori from Suzuki Sumire to put it on: "For your sake of helping Yuni, my lord does not agree with you a lot. You care about it, Captain Aizen."

Oikawa Yuni looked at the tall man who suddenly appeared, and seemed to hear some key words, and shouted loudly: "Aizen belongs to mother---mother---"

She excitedly wanted to show off her knowledge, but unfortunately she got stuck at the beginning.

"Boss." Mo Ran Xianyi answered kindly. It was no surprise that the girl who liked the handsome brother and uncle climbed onto Lan Ran's body in three steps and two steps, wrapping her short arms around the man's neck.

"You are mother's boss," Oi Chuan Youni remembered the newly learned words in her mind, and then she wanted to say something else, "You are the captain of the fifth team!"

"Squad Five." Lan Ran corrected with a smile, just hugged her like this, and walked out of Mo Ran's house together with Mo Ran Xianyi.He made an appointment to meet her here, but he didn't know that he would have to take this limp creature with him.

"The captain of the fifth division," Oikawa Yuni nodded, then turned to look at the aunt beside her, "it's Aunt Xianyi's—huh?"

Oikawa Youni suddenly discovered a very serious problem, she didn't know who Aizen belonged to her aunt.Dad said that if you don't understand, you have to ask, so she upholds this spirit and asks directly.

"Is it my aunt's prince?" Tong Yantong said.

"No." Moran Xianyi shook his head reflexively, thought for a while and replied, "Boss."

Lan Ran raised an eyebrow when she heard the words, and listening to Ji Chuan Youni learning and selling, she was obviously not particularly satisfied with the answer.

After handing Oikawa Youni to the terrified Oikawa couple, the phrase "Aizen is my aunt's boss" still lingered in my ears for a long time.

After being laid off, there were quite a few Shinigami attendees at the shrine in the first area of ​​Liuhun Street. Among them were colleagues who knew each other well.The two didn't dodge other people's snooping, but they didn't explain much either.

Moran Xianyi was busy looking at the vendors on both sides looking for the apple candy she had been coveting for a long time, and didn't care about other people's eyes; beside him, Lan Ran folded his hands in his large robe, with his usual gentle smile on his face.

"Aren't you going to buy something?" When Moran Xianyi finally found the apple candy and was carrying an exquisite fox mask, she looked at the man with empty hands beside her and asked in confusion.

Lan Ran pushed his glasses, glanced unobtrusively at the [-]th Squad member who took out his camera, and asked softly, "Miss Mo Ran, what do you think we look like in other people's eyes?"

"Captain Aizen and his happy subordinates." Moran Xianyi felt that she was in a good mood now, and it was rare that Aizen agreed to go out with her, and even helped her block the crowds that crowded up.

"subordinate?"

Hearing the subtle tone, Mo Ran Xianyi raised the corners of his lips slightly: "Captain, what answer do you want to hear, this subordinate will tell you."

Alas, it is.

Lan Ran looked at the woman's ostentatious complacency, and suddenly realized that she didn't know what response she wanted to get from her mouth. Finally, with a helpless smile, she squeezed into the square with her, and found a corner near the temporary stage to sit. Down.

Captain Haori of the [-]th division was too conspicuous. After the ordinary team members who approached discovered that it was Captain Aizen and Fourth Seat Moran, they were very self-aware and stayed away to avoid disturbing them.

"It seems that you have always rejected my invitations in the past, and it is not unreasonable." Mo Ran Xianyi only realized the troubles of being a celebrity in Seiring Ting after getting close to Lan Ran, as if she simply liked someone It has to be known to the whole world.

"Regret?"

Putting the packaged apple candy on his lap, Moran Xianyi held up the white fox mask he just bought to cover his face. It was a rare wood carving, and there were one or two gemstones on his forehead. The delicate workmanship was reflected in the In terms of price, at that time she just bought it because she thought it would look like Ji Mumi just woke up—but it was a bit heavy, and the size was more like a wall decoration than a mask.

"You mean going out with you," the voice behind the fox's face was muffled, but every word was very clear, "or is it that I like you?"

The man next to her is the strongest sensor of Reiatsu—even though she made a fool of herself—she doesn't worry about their conversation being overheard by a third party.

Somewhat unexpectedly, she chose to say she liked it at this time, and Aizen pursed her lips thinking about how to deal with it.Until the fox's pair of glass eyes reflected his figure under the faint light of the lantern: "Maybe I still don't plan to make this matter public."

People began to form a circle around the stage, probably when it was time for traditional dancing.

Moran Xianyi likes the dance of the residents of Ruhun Street very much. There are no complicated dance steps, no need to hold back in circles, and even just need to move their hands to beat the beat, but everyone's faces are full of happiness, purely enjoying the festival.

Through the glass eyes, she could see Aizen's rare distress.

This man is too smart, never afraid of the unknown, and even enjoys it deeply. At that time, his pupils will dilate slightly, and his lips can't help smiling—like a child who just discovered something new.

It's just that such a wise man is now annoyed by the troubles of ordinary people.He is a metaphysical emperor, she never felt that she had touched his heart, but she was very confident in her liking.

"Let's try not to appear together..." Mo Ran Xianyi's expression was hidden behind the mask, her voice was steady and she couldn't hear any emotions, her fox face swayed from side to side with her trembling hands.

Unable to explain the frustration in his heart, Lan Ran stared at the pair of lifeless glass eyes, pursed his lips in silence, and even unconsciously retracted the deliberately raised arc.

"Will you be offended if I say that?"

"……Won't."

Captain Aizen, where's your signature smile?

Mo Ran Xianyi thought it was funny, but she also wanted to tease him occasionally.

"There are not many things that can make you unhappy." She was thinking about whether she should bully him for a while, and there were not many opportunities to take advantage of this kind of words—but in fact, she realized that she couldn't bear it. "But I am an ordinary person after all, and my troubles are higher than mountains."

"What kind of troubles are you?" Ai Ran snorted and despised her in a low voice, "Weight, nobility, appearance, Captain Ai Ran."

Mo Ran Xianyi frowned and resisted the urge to poke his forehead: "You are so ashamed to put yourself in."

"do not have it?"

"……Have."

This man is really hateful for bullying her with a few words.

Moran Xianyi tried to change her sitting position, stretched her numb legs, and took the opportunity to put down the fox mask in her hand to rest for a while, so Lan Ran saw her frowning slightly.

"So do you regret it, Miss Moran?" There were many people outside, he resisted the urge to smooth the brows for her, and said calmly.Although it is too late to regret, this is just a formality.

Moran Xianyi smiled softly, knowing what he was thinking: "If I mind those eyes, I won't think of ways to let you go out with me every year."

There are many talented women and beauties in Sei Ling Ting, and she is the one who finally walks to Aizen. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, she has heard vicious comments about herself:

The extremely ordinary fourth officer, except for the title of aristocrat, can't find a place that is enough to match Captain Aizan.Perhaps it was the privilege of the nobility that forced Captain Aizan to submit──

Everyone really thinks highly of her, and also looks down on Captain Aizen too much.

Every time she thinks about this, she feels that it is good that she is beside this man, at least she knows that one must be self-aware.

Hiding his face into the fox's face again, Moran Xianyi had a contented smile in his eyes, and said in a slightly mischievous tone: "But in terms of regret alone, there are probably some regrets!"

"Because I always say that you look ordinary?" Lan Ran looked at the pair of glass beads firmly, and the beads showed her ink-like pupils at this moment, with a smile on her face.

Hmph, she is so beautiful and low-key, she lost if she really cares about it: "Captain Aizen, you might lose me because of this joke."

"But that's not a joke." Ai Ran was also very distressed, "I just like Miss Mo Ran's appearance."

...well, barely acceptable.

Moran Xianyi was happy in his heart, and pulled off his mask calmly.

Folk music sounded and drums were played, and people in the square joined the big circle beside the stage in twos and threes.Lights, music, people's shouts of vitality, and several gorgeous fireworks bloomed in the night sky after a while.

The lively scene, 20 years ago, maybe even longer, she would put down the documents in her hand, and walk from the sixth division team building to the neighborhood alone, I really miss it...

"Actually, sometimes I feel regretful, why couldn't I become more confident earlier," Mo Ranxianyi unconsciously stretched out his index finger and thumb, and murmured, "Maybe we can be more confident again in this way." fell in love with you earlier."

The fox mask fell to his legs and touched the candy apple, and slid towards Aizen.

Aizen looked down at the slender fox eyes depicted on it, and suddenly remembered that during the handover with the Eighth Division, he happened to meet Ichimaru Gin passing by, and he deliberately said with a smile: "Aren't you going back to change clothes? Captain Haori But it's conspicuous."

He ignored it.

"However, if it was earlier, I didn't like Kikyo at that time." Moran Xianyi turned his head and smiled at him, his eyebrows and eyes curved like crescent moons, "You wouldn't have any chance."

In fact, Aizen also thought about whether Moran Xianyi chose to express his love to Kuchiki after his transformation, would he let him go? Unfortunately, this is only a hypothetical question after all, and it is of no value to think about.

Judging from the current results, the only woman he can personally accompany is his. Even if she only likes white camellia for hundreds of years, he can still make her fall in love with bellflower.

"Miss Mo Ran, do you know what the headlines will be in the next few days?"

Lan Ran smiled and squinted her eyes, her voice was deep and mellow, which made Mo Ran Xianyi's heart tremble suddenly, with a premonition that a man wanted to do something: "No, I don't know."

After Moran Xianyi finished speaking, there seemed to be a call from her fellow Death God not far ahead, and she was about to stand up and greet her to stay away from Aizen, but she didn't expect her right wrist to be tightly clasped, unable to move.

Lan Ran raised the corners of his lips, revealing his usual gentle and doting smile, with a faint light in his eyes.Mo Ran Xianyi was distracted by the beauty in front of him, and was pulled to his side without paying attention.

The apple candy was swept to the ground due to a big move, and before it could be picked up, Lan Ran picked up the large wooden mask, and with the cover of the fox mask, put her handsome face close to the tip of the woman's nose.

With this angle and this movement under the mask, the surroundings seem to be much quieter, and some people even gasp suddenly.

"I didn't plan to do this at first, but I think I would like this accident very much." Blue Ran's forehead was pressed against Mo Ran Xianyi's, with a relaxed expression on her face, but the woman blushed when she realized what was going on.

Moran Xianyi could clearly see the man's beautiful eyelashes slapping up and down, and his eyes were full of joy of a successful prank.Behind the mask, their faces were so close that she could even feel each other's breath.

Thinking of who would be watching after taking off the mask, she was almost ashamed, and could even be said to be extremely angry.

Trying to suppress the turmoil in his heart, Moran Xianyi pulled the corners of his lips, and managed to say a few words from between his teeth: "You, you are really... so hateful, Captain Aizen."

He intentionally put his face in front of her, creating an atmosphere that could be easily misunderstood by both the front and back of the mask, and finally just gently pressed his forehead to his forehead.

Slowly backing away from the mask, Lan Ran smiled and pushed the glasses, and said with a low voice that only the two of them could hear: "I can't be the only one waiting, Miss Mo Ran."

Holding hands and hugging, he was very patient after that.Since the love she built for him is companionship, then the way he likes a woman is guardianship.

Guard her, protect her, and just like he has always told her, men must guard against.

Without Moran Xianyi's permission, he would not make any further moves.Although he considers himself a king, he considers himself a king of manners.

Patting Moran Xianyi on the shoulder, Lanran smiled and asked if he wanted to dance with everyone. The woman shook her head while holding the fox mask, saying that she wanted to go back, and he had to pay for what happened just now.

"I want a new apple candy, this one was dropped by you." Mo Ran Xianyi, who was hiding behind the mask, handed him the apple candy, then slowly got up, still holding on to the mask with both hands, "I also want cotton candy , you have to carry it for me, I want to go all the way back like this."

Although she really didn't eat any tofu from Captain Aizen, no one would believe her fantasy journey of being ridiculed by Aizen behind the mask.Even the person involved was almost deceived, so how could he convince others.

By the way, she still seemed to hear the sound of the shutter being pressed.

Aizen looked at the woman who pretended to be an ostrich, and found it interesting.

The woman he likes, under the mask, really has a face that he can't get tired of seeing.
