[Comprehensive] Notes on Cat Raising by Benmaru

Imamu seems to be in a bad mood.

He went to condolences to Chihiro, and was once again asked by the other party by the collar what he did in his dream. Tsurumaru finally got out of the way and pulled his messed up collar, and looked at him embracing his knees not far away. A little tengu huddled under a tree.

He walked over lightly, then suddenly poked his head out from behind the tree, and gave Jinjian a shout.

But unexpectedly, Kotengu was not frightened, he just glanced at Tsurumaru wearily, then lowered his head again, looking a little melancholy.

"It really scared me. What's the matter?" Thinking about it, it's really strange. I usually like to stick to Chihiro's sword today. Come forward.

Tsurumaru squatted down, his golden eyes were full of curiosity, and then stretched out his hand, intending to pinch the cheek of the small dagger.Imai slapped Tsurumaru's hand away mercilessly, and he turned sideways without even looking at Tsurumaru.

This really scared Tsurumaru, he shook Imaiken's shoulder without giving up, his original curiosity became a little worried.

"What the hell happened?"

Jin Jian slowly raised his head, he hesitated for a while, then shook his head again.

It's so obvious, who would believe it if it's nothing... Tsurumaru murmured to himself, although generally speaking, he wouldn't ask if people didn't want to say it, but now Imken's mood is too low, he thought about it , simply sat directly in front of Jin Jian, resting his chin on his hand and waiting for him to speak.

"..." Jin Jian glanced at him again with complicated eyes, and after confirming that the other party might indeed stay until he spoke, he sighed helplessly.

His eyes like a ruby ​​fairy sank slightly, and then he took out a few chapters of neatly bound papers from his clothes—that was Chihiro's contract.

"Yaoyan said that there is a thermometer in Xiaoqian's room and asked me to find it for me. I didn't expect to find this... because I really don't know what to do, so..."

He looked flustered, but managed to restrain himself.

"Could it be someone else's contract? The Government of Time didn't say that Xiaoqian's contract period is so short?"

Tsurumaru shook his head slowly, his eyes fixed on the approaching day on the page, and his voice became inexplicably low, "No, I heard her name in a dream, this is indeed Xiaoqian's contract correct."

Jinjian choked for a moment, he hesitated for a long time, and finally said as if he was not sure, "Xiaoqian, will she...will go?"

Tsurumaru didn't answer, his hand gripped the paper tightly and loosened it, and after a while, his hand dropped down.

"It doesn't matter whether she chooses to leave or stay..." His golden eyes were too calm at this moment. If it weren't for the slight trembling of his hands hidden in his wide sleeves, probably everyone would think that he was very concerned about Chihiro. I don't care if I stay or stay.

However, he was indeed terrified, but even so, thinking of Chihiro's bloody dream and her expectations when she was in Mao, he still told Imai word by word, "Whether she chooses Either way, we shouldn't stop her."

Imai raised his head blankly, he still seemed a little at a loss, especially after hearing Tsurumaru's words.He shook his head, trying hard to swallow the "don't" that was almost coming out of his throat.

"I don't understand..." he said, "Tsurumaru, don't you like Chi-sen? Why didn't you persuade her to stay?"

Tsurumaru didn't answer him directly, he stared at Imai, and suddenly asked, "Then why didn't you immediately ask her if she wants to stay or not, instead of thinking wildly here?"

"..." Because he was afraid.

Kotengu looked at Tsurumaru who stood up and blocked the sun, and replied in his heart.If Chihiro really chooses to leave, he seems unable to keep Chihiro, after all, if that is really Chihiro's wish...

He lowered his head again, feeling like he was about to cry in the next second, "But, but, I like Xiaoqian very much..." It was because I liked her that I wanted to respect any of his decisions.He stood up abruptly, and stretched out his hand towards Tsurumaru, "It's all right, return the contract to me quickly!"

It's like turning your face and denying anyone... Tsurumaru was surprised, he opened his eyes slightly, who just showed a crying expression and asked him for his opinion?He complained in his heart, and then handed over the contract with a sigh, but suddenly, the contract in his hand was grabbed, and the mustache with a slight smile looked at him with his head tilted, his voice seemed soft and soft. Soft like a buttercream cake.

"What are you talking about? Whose contract is this?" Tsurumaru subconsciously wanted to pull the contract out of Higakiri's hand, but Genji Shigeho, who was holding the contract tightly, seemed to be at ease at this moment, and he snatched it from Tsurumaru's hand. The contract, opened it slowly and looked at it.

Tsurumaru felt that he seemed to have an illusion, he seemed to see Higakiri who had always been indifferent to Chihiro, and seemed to have an almost blank expression for a moment.However, it was only for a moment, and Hidekiri, who closed the contract with a snap, returned to his usual smile.

"It's not good to steal other people's things," he said, then raised the contract in his hand and shook it lightly, "I'll confiscate it first."

"..." Tsurumaru and Imaiken were shocked at the same time by the shamelessness of the other party. The two looked at each other, and then Tsurumaru lowered his voice, "Hey, Hikiri, don't mess around..."

Mustache turned his head and glanced at them, then he took back the contract and responded lightly.

This reaction seemed too perfunctory, Imaiken puffed up his cheeks in dissatisfaction, he was about to say something, but was suddenly stopped by Tsurumaru.

"I really still think..." He looked at Mustache who had turned away and muttered, "This guy may be different from what he appears on the surface."

Chihiro was thinking about her contract and Zanpakuto when she walked through the corridor. The condition of her spirit body is much better than before, which means that she is more likely to hear her Zanpakuto call again. Yes, she felt that she should be happy, but the strange thing was that she was in a very complicated mood now.

She raised her head to look at the interrogator's room on the second floor, and walked up after a brief hesitation.There was a creaking sound from the wooden stairs, Chihiro pushed open the door, hesitated for a while looking at the thin dust on the ground, and finally walked in.

She fished out from under the bed the little bear that she had wrapped in a ghost way, and then took out the diary left by Mao Youji from inside.

The messy handwriting on the eve of restoring the memory seems to indicate that the owner of the diary was in a state of collapse at that time. She was summoned by Chihiro's special spiritual power and thus endowed with a physical sword soul. In her last memory, she was indeed involved. In the gap of time and space.

Probably because of the collision of time and space, Chihiro lost her memory. Chihiro sighed, and then lay back on the bed.

After that, Daohun, who was discovered by the family and trained as a god-inspector because of his high spiritual power, and firmly believed that he was a member of the family, regenerated self-awareness under the circumstances of the conflict between the concept and the family .

"Am I really the same kind of people as them?" She swiped her finger across the pages of the diary, and then slowly read out the words in the diary.

Where is she now?Did he return to the Soul Blade Palace and fall into a deep sleep again?

Someone walked up the stairs and pushed open the door of the living room.Chihiro put the diary on her face and didn't move.

"What are you doing?" Luan asked who was standing at the door.

Chihiro put the diary aside, then looked back at him, "I'm just walking around, how about you?"

Luan quietly stared at her, and after a while, he said, "I heard from Brother Yiqi that your relationship with Wu..."

He no longer calls Wu by the title of lord. This is not because he is ruthless. On the contrary, Ranto Shiro, who is working hard for a new life, is now working hard to fulfill his promise to live a good life.

He looked a little tangled, and his long golden hair was hooked and loosened by his fingers. "If my previous lord was your knife, does that mean that I am also your knife?"

"Huh?" Chihiro didn't expect the other party to ask such a question. She blinked her eyes and said hesitantly, "Probably... eh... You came here just to ask me this?"

Ranto Shiro seemed to be dawdling at the moment, "No..." He muttered in a low voice, "I just wanted to say..."

Chihiro stared at him intently, and then Ranto Shiro, who was really speechless, exploded on the spot, "Don't you understand what I want to say?!"

"It's simply making trouble for no reason! Is it so difficult to just call me the lord?"

"Clearly knowing what I want to say, but still pretending not to know and insisting on forcing me to say it, it's too bad!"

The two started arguing like children, but suddenly Rantoshiro fell silent again.

"In short... In short... I'm sorry for killing your sword soul..." He pursed his lips slightly, and then said awkwardly, "I feel a little strange now..."

Yes, me too.Chihiro nodded solemnly.

The Honmaru that she once managed with Zanpakuto is now in her hands, and she still wants to find Zanpakuto with these knives on her back.

And this Honmaru's sword was once loyal to her Zanpakuto, and now it seems that he wants to give his loyalty to her, but her Zanpakuto is also loyal to her.

It's too confusing, what kind of new triangular Shura field is this? !

But even though she thought so, she still handed the diary in her hand to Luan, "Although it is indeed a bit strange, I still want you to take a look at this. I think that in her state at that time, it is best to kill her." choice."

Although it sounds cruel, what she said is indeed the truth.

But unexpectedly, Rantoshiro didn't put the diary away, he just smoothed the crumpled pages and put them back in the little bear's stomach.

"There's no need for that anymore," he said, "I understood it when you and Shinano went to find me last time."

Everyone has a past, if the past cannot be separated, it is impossible to move forward.Ranto Shiro, who broke free from the shadow of the past, knew very well that those obstacles that he thought were insurmountable were being eliminated bit by bit. One day, these wounds would be gently healed and even healed.

Therefore, there is no need to look back on the past.

"Let's put these things here." As he spoke, he pulled up Qianxun who couldn't get up from the bed.

"Although I don't know where Master Wu disappeared and whether he is still alive, if she knows that I met you, Xiaoqian, she will be very happy."

"...Really? Why doesn't she think so?" Chihiro looked at Ranto Shiro holding her delicately, his smiling face looked very cute.

"I heard Brother Yiqi said that Zanpakuto is very important to you, right?"

Chihiro didn't nod or shake her head, she just looked at Ran quietly, hope gradually appeared in the other's blue eyes, "I'm Ranto Shiro, during the time you can't find Zanpakuto, Can I be your knife to protect you?"

Chihiro didn't expect Luan to say such words, she looked at Luan for a long time, then shook her head lightly, "This is not acceptable, this is going too far."

"I like this Honmaru very much. Although I have said it many times, you still don't seem to believe it." She put her hand on Ran's shoulder, "Ran, you are different from Zanpakuto, you can't replace her , just like she can't replace you, but..."

"If you want, wait a little while before I make the hardest decision to make right now."
