[Comprehensive] Notes on Cat Raising by Benmaru

Because of the drug dealer Bell, Chihiro couldn't see Tsurumaru and Yiqi Yizhen at all, so her eyes were still focused on the friend in front of her who seemed surprised by her words, he unconsciously raised his hand and pulled himself With black hair, it seems that she doesn't know how to deal with Chihiro who suddenly becomes emotional.

However, after a brief struggle, he gave up trying to find out what Chihiro was thinking.He reached out and rubbed Chihiro's silver-white hair, and then let out a slight laugh from his throat.

"If you praise me, let's wait until your spiritual body is stable." He moved his hand down and gently pushed Chihiro's shoulder. "Come on, relax."

Chihiro knew that he was going to implant the Soul Sealing Stone into her body, so she lay down obediently, and then closed her eyes.

What happened next was the scene that Tsurumaru saw. Nura Kobi, who was squatting next to Chihiro, was brushing away the broken hair from her forehead, and was about to integrate the soul-sealing stone from her forehead into the depths of her soul. .

But Tsurumaru and Yiqi Yizhen didn't hear anything other than "confession", and many possible scary scenes immediately appeared in their minds, and then they rushed forward.

They didn't realize that they were thinking too much until they saw the yellow light that entered Qianxun's eyebrows.

Tsurumaru turned around silently, patted Ichiki's shoulder with his hands, and said fearlessly, "Ichiki, you can't do this, if you are seen by those knives..."

His voice stopped, because he saw Yi Qi who had been smiling gently, and his half-fisted hands clenched slightly.

This was an unconscious threat, as a colleague, Kuninaga Tsurumaru knew it very well, and felt that the other party would probably be angry if this continued, so Tsurumaru shut his mouth very 'obediently and sensible'.

Although Chihiro closed her eyes, her consciousness still existed. At this moment, she clearly remembered that Li Ban once said that in order to completely relax himself, he waited for her to fall asleep before he began to fuse the stones into himself. in the soul.

But what I didn't expect was that when she encountered a nightmare in her sleep, instead of relaxing, she became more nervous, and almost failed to fuse.

No...it probably failed...

She opened her eyes amidst the doubtful voice of Nura Kobi, and under her frown slightly frowned because of the pain, there were eyes with a thin mist, and then, in her blue right eye, a golden spot appeared. coat of arms.

The dim gold gradually eroded the sea-like blue, and the pain of being squeezed became clearer even in dreams.

In this pain, she suddenly remembered what the drug seller had said to her, that if you have been obsessed with pain, you can't see the surroundings.

At that moment, she suddenly saw the worried face of Li Ban in front of her, and then remembered that in the street full of battle marks, when she opened her eyes, what she saw was the panic of the squad leader who stayed with her expression.

What did he say then?

Chihiro felt puzzled. She thought about it for a long time but didn't remember it. However, she did see a relieved expression on the other party's face.

Is that so...

She couldn't help but smiled wryly, she really seemed to have overlooked a lot of things because of the huge blow, she tilted her head slightly, and suddenly wondered what she had dreamed before the nightmare.

Just when she had the idea of ​​"I want to know what the dream I had before", the bells on Tsurumaru and Yiqi Yishin suddenly vibrated lightly, and then, the fine bell sound was transmitted to Chihiro ears.

Immediately afterwards, the surrounding golden and green osmanthus trees suddenly peeled away little by little, and the figure of Nurliang Carphan was like a willow tree reflected in the water and blown by the wind.

"Ki Ban?" Knowing that the dream had come to an end, Chihiro subconsciously called out her friend's name, she stretched out her hand, but her fingers didn't pass through Li Ban's body as expected.

Huh?She tilted her head in some doubts, then exerted a little force on her fingers, and squeezed a few times on the arm she was holding.

The distorted scene gradually stabilized, and the familiar water mirror reappeared under her feet. Chihiro silently looked at Tsurumaru Kuninaga, who was being held by her arm. After the two looked at each other for a long time, Chihiro showed a somewhat horrified expression.

She didn't know why, and immediately let go of her hand, but Tsurumaru's expression looked even worse.

Next to him, Yiyi looked at this unfamiliar space, holding the sword at his waist, as if he was on guard, but when he saw the medicine seller appearing on the edge of the water mirror, he let go of his hand .

Chihiro silently stretched out her finger and pointed at Tsurumaru who was held by her arm just now, but now she was thrown aside, "Why...he and Yiqi appeared in my dream?"

"Hey, hey, let's call it a name..." Tsurumaru muttered dissatisfiedly, he reached out and rolled up his sleeves, revealing his slender and tender arms, "My arms are all red from you pinching..."

If she didn't know that Tsurumaru must be trying to ease the atmosphere, Chihiro would have thought that there was something wrong with her eyes, so she simply ignored Tsurumaru and looked at the drug seller with her arms folded.

"You told me before that I had a dream about Zanpakuto, and I seem to have entered other dreams..." She wrapped her arms around her arms in a state of anxiety, "But I still can't remember, before that I What dream did you have?"

"Oh, I can tell you about this in the first issue." Tsurumaru said in a cool tone. "Probably the sword that I want to see the most is the story of Mikazuki, followed by the story of Izumi Mori Kanesada."

"... Huh?" Chihiro's expression became strange. "Although I really wanted to go to the museum to see Mikazuki, but it's not like I dreamed..."

She tilted her head and thought carefully for a while, and finally couldn't hold back and asked, "Did I really dream that I went to the museum?"

The expression of "if you think about it carefully, it's not completely impossible" on her face made Tsurumaru not know how to react for a while, he stretched out his hand without hesitation and messed up Chihiro's hair, very courageous ignoring Chihiro's resistance.

The drug seller has always watched all this with tolerant eyes, even when Chihiro's reaction finally came to an end and asked Ichiki Ikshin and Tsurumaru Kuninaga what they saw in her dream, he didn't take the initiative to speak.

In the end, Tsurumaru, who was holding the collar, cast him a look for help, and he asked calmly, "Now, have you made a choice?"

Qianxun was attracted by this sudden question, she turned her head and signaled the drug seller to continue talking with her eyes.

The drug seller took a step forward, and the bell he dropped on the medicine box made a crisp sound along with his footsteps.

"The Soul Sealing Stone can read the wish of the boarder. Since you dream of Zanpakuto, it means that you did have a nightmare for a moment, but as long as you can see it, it doesn't matter even if you repeat the nightmare." idea."

"..." Chihiro opened her eyes slightly, she did feel that even the past that had brought her harm, but that was the only time she really grasped the Zanpakutō.

Therefore, she did not refute the drug buyer's words, but pursed her lips slightly and listened carefully to the drug seller's explanation.

"Because of the failure of the fusion, you have not mastered the power of the Soul Sealing Stone. Instead, it has obtained spiritual power from your body. In order to obtain more spiritual power, it will continue to weave dreams for you along your wishes .”

Maybe the next dream is that she holds the Zanpakuto and becomes the god of death guarding Sifengyuan's family.

It sounds like no one will choose to be a spiritual power provider, but for Chihiro, who can only achieve her wish in a dream, which side will she choose?

In the first phase, he became inexplicably nervous, his honey-colored eyes stared at Chihiro without blinking, and then, the moment Chihiro turned his head, he clearly saw in the pupils of the other party who were a little stiff because of tension. of myself.

Chihiro would not choose to stay in the dreamland, and Yizheng knew very well that she is a person who pays more attention to reality than fantasy, but even knowing this, he still felt a chill emerging from inside his straight military uniform .

"Xiaoqian..." It was the first time he spoke to Qianxun so hesitantly, and then, under Qianxun's gentle gaze, he asked the question that Yaken had asked before, "Do you like Honmaru?"

Compared to the dream world, would you choose to come back to us?

However, Chihiro didn't seem to feel the sudden stiff atmosphere around her. As always, she nodded with a seemingly contemptuous attitude, "I like it, I like Honmaru."

She suddenly burst out laughing, then she turned slightly sideways, and said to Yiqi Yizhen very seriously, "Yiqi, I like Honmaru more than you think. I won't stay in the dream .”

Compared with the illusory, arbitrary dreams woven by her own wishes, what she prefers is the reality that she has always existed.

The drug seller seemed to smile slightly, and the corners of his lips, which had always looked a little cold, did hook slightly for a moment.

"I understand," he said, "then, please don't forget what you said, come back to reality from the dream, as long as you keep holding the desire to wake up..."

He handed Chihiro the bell that had been hanging on the medicine box, and the long red thread broke the moment it touched Chihiro.

"I can't force you to go out, but as long as you keep your heart, you can always come out of the dream."

He raised his head slightly, and the demon pattern in front of his eyes became flirtatious, "Then, we are waiting for you in the real world."
