Chapter 22 Returning home safely
Fortunately, Hasebe and Beibei were not here today. Based on my experience of dealing with these two swords for more than ten years, the former would probably kick himself down on the spot and blame himself for his negligence and would not give up until he found out who was behind it, while the latter would most likely cover himself with the sheet that he had just taken off and fall into depression.
Although the situation between us is quite complicated, after so many years, everyone, especially the kidnapped, like my brother, is still the captain of the first echelon of the Honmaru. If he knew that I was injured in the kidnapping, he would definitely feel very uncomfortable.
Thinking of this, I grabbed Kasen Kanesada who was about to leave and said, "Kasen Kasen, don't tell anyone."
Dong Shilang was right next to them. Ge Xian opened his mouth to say something but stopped.
“…We’ll talk about what happens next later.”
I'm saying this now because I'm afraid you won't admit it later and confront everyone when you get back. Otherwise, why would I deliberately say this in front of outsiders!
"I'll go pour some tea and get some medicine for the kid." Ge Xian glared at me, "You two can chat slowly."
Humph, you don’t fall for it. Watch me try to coax you into it!
"You and your family..."
"Um?"
Dong Shilang looked at me and smiled: "We have a good relationship."
Ah... ah wow wow... my face suddenly feels so hot!
"Is that so? Hehehe..."
No, that's not right. I can't smile foolishly at this time. How should I explain the relationship between Gexian and me? Are we distant relatives?
Speaking of which, it seems that Mr. Urahara is dealing with the government of time...
While looking at the wound, I secretly glanced at my boyfriend who was looking down at the messages on his phone.
If Urahara-san knew about the sword man, would he know about it too?
Before I could figure out how to ask, Gexian came back with a medicine box.
"Let me see if the wound is serious."
"ah?"
"Ah what? I need to see if there are any broken bones."
Although...it's still a bit embarrassing to do this in front of the person I like!
And the wound hurts so much...
"Hmm, it seems the bones aren't broken," Ge Xian said, looking up. Our eyes met mine, grimace in pain as he pressed his hand around the wound to check. "...Does it hurt that much?"
It was embarrassing, really embarrassing. It felt like his strength had decreased a lot.
"Um……"
But it was really painful. Not only was a large piece of skin gone, but there was also bruising and swelling. My other leg wasn't as badly injured, but I did have a lot of small abrasions on my calf.
I didn’t feel anything when I was kidnapped, but now I feel really bad.
Ge Xian sighed: "Why don't you apply the medicine yourself? Don't be so happy, I'll come back to check after I finish cooking. Besides, if the wound becomes festered, you'll be the one who feels the pain." After saying that, he glanced at Dong Shilang who had been silent all the time, put the medicine box down, and went back to the kitchen.
There were only two of us left in the room again.
"Uh, just, don't worry about it, Gexian is just like that, hehe." I didn't know what else to talk about, so I just turned on the TV and put the remote on the table. "You watch TV for a while, I... I'll apply the medicine..."
Even though Gexian and the others are the swordsmen who have taken care of me since I was a child, they're all very heavy-handed. If they were to apply the medicine, I'd be in a state of despair. Yaoyan's hand is very gentle, but was I kidnapped this time, or was it my own fault? Help! I'm sweating just thinking about it.
It would be great if it were in Honmaru. The shikigami in the hand-entertainment room are all professionals, their hands are light, and the bandaging is also very professional.
Anyway...anyway, deal with the less serious leg first!
"Let me do it."
Five minutes later, I don’t know if it was because I was moaning too loudly, but Dong Shilang came and sat next to me.
Uhhhhh he's so close to me!
"Your wound is too large, and your hand is injured so it's difficult to move. Let me do it. If it hurts, just tell me."
Then he put my legs on his legs, took the medicine box and looked inside.
"No, I don't want that liquid Band-Aid. It hurts so much when I apply it!"
"Yeah?"
"Yeah, they say it's waterproof, but it hurts like rubbing alcohol when you apply it. And I don't know how to remove it once it dries."
My hands were worn out from kendo practice last time, so I tried it out for convenience... It's too difficult to use. What a weird thing!
"Your wound won't be suitable for that. Ordinary disinfectant iodine, gauze, and cotton will be enough."
Frankly, applying medicine to the wound would have hurt anyway, but when I thought about the person applying the medicine, Toushirou, I became so nervous that the pain wasn't that intense. Especially since his hand was holding my leg, resting it on his knee.
So... so shy!
"If it hurts, you can hug a pillow."
"oh!"
I quickly picked up the pillow next to me, but not because it hurt, but because my face was too hot and I was afraid that he would see my red face when he looked up.
The TV was still on, but I had no intention of watching it. My eyes and mind were filled with my boyfriend's every move.
He seemed a little unhappy, and his brows furrowed again when he looked at the wound, but the strength in his hands was very light. My leg trembled, and the speed at which he applied the medicine slowed down significantly.
"Is Dongshilang-kun practicing kendo? I'm practicing too, so..."
"Huh? Ah, you guessed it right, I am practicing."
"As expected! You're really amazing! I can't even follow your sword swinging speed." After praising him, I felt a little depressed again. "If I keep practicing, can I get stronger?"
"Otherwise, I'd always be kidnapped. I'd be...too weak."
"First, when you were kidnapped, it was a one-on-many situation, and they were well-prepared. Even an adult male would be at a disadvantage in such a situation. Second, there's a disparity in upper body strength between men and women. Of course, weapons and systematic training can narrow that gap."
Dong Shilang said this as he slowly applied cool ointment to the bruised and swollen part of my leg.
"Finally, of course, constant practice will make you stronger. You have great talent. But if you want to surpass most people, you'll have to endure some hardship."
The bloody wound was cleaned and wrapped with clean gauze and bandages.
"Have I given you enough details?"
Yes...it's quite detailed. Is this consolation?
"But before you make any plans, you should heal your wound first." He reached out and poked me between the eyebrows. "You can't practice kendo if you don't calm down, you know?"
“Hmm…”
This is true, and everyone who taught me in Honmaru also said so.
"Is Toushirou trying to comfort me?"
His hand supporting my leg stiffened for a moment. "Stupid...! Don't ask that kind of question to the person involved! Besides, this is called encouragement."
"Hey hey hey."
In the end, because the date fell through, Dong Shilang had dinner at my house before leaving.
"Can you come over during the holidays?"
Before leaving, while Ge Xian was cleaning the kitchen, he carried me to the bedroom on the second floor.
"To be honest... I don't know. Because work might suddenly become available."
I feel a little lost.
"If I have time, I'll let you know in advance, okay?"
Ah, again, not feeling so lost anymore.
"Then...it's a deal."
Not long after he left the room, Kasen Kanesada came in with some snacks he had prepared for me.
"Lord, Hitsugaya-kun has left."
"Um."
I don’t know if I can see him during the Golden Week.
"Although after getting to know him, I don't think he's a bad person, but...it still remains to be seen."
I was about to retort to Gexian when he suddenly frowned and turned his head away. "Huh? Someone's back."
Then I heard someone closing the door.
But the problem is, besides Kasen and I, the only one who has the key to the house is Hasebe, ahh ...
"It's over, it's over, it's over! Gexian, hurry up and get out and lock the door!"
"ha?!"
"Master, we are back!"
"Master... excuse me, I brought a little tiger with me."
"Huh? Why is no one here?"
Ahhhh, I've already come up the stairs!
However, even if Kasen went out to block, he was unable to stop Hasebe, who had the highest mobility among all katana.
Anyway, before I could cover the wound with the blanket, he rushed in.
“… This, this is…?! Lord, you…?!”
"Master?! How, why are you injured so badly?!"
"Woo-wah, ow?"
"Gexian, what happened?! Isn't the Lord supposed to go on a date with that person today?"
"Uh... well, it's a long story."
"It doesn't matter how long it is, tell me now, now!"
It’s over, it’s over, my life is over——!
The author has something to say:
----------------------
Well, since there are a lot of foreshadowing, I won’t explain anything.
Let's assume that this is a story that takes place after the Bleach plot ends, and Ichigo should be in college at this time.
And as everyone can see, Daodao and his friends are not considered the second male lead in this story, but are considered... a big group of friends and family!
I uploaded the cover that my friend drew. Hey! Looks great, right?
