Chapter 55 My boyfriend sent me home
"What's the kidnapping thing?"
After their captain left with the cute red-haired girl, the smile disappeared from the orange-haired woman's face.
"Huh? Captain Hitsugaya didn't tell you?" Urahara Kisuke expertly opened his folding fan. "It's said that there was a leak of information from within the Time Government about her relationship with the Hongo family. And this time, the kidnappers claim to be members of the Port Mafia."
"The Port Mafia?" Matsumoto Rangiku turned and looked at the man in front of her. "Sounds like an ordinary mafia in the modern world. Why is he connected to the government of time?"
"It just sounds like that. Their subordinates are indeed ordinary people, but the cadre-level—" His gaze was sharp under the shadow of his hat. "They are all psychics without exception. But don't worry, the Psychic Special Agents have assured us that Miss Jiujing's case has nothing to do with the struggles among these psychics."
"I hope so."
The woman frowned slightly, leaned against the wall, and placed her right hand on her neck.
"The world has become less peaceful."
-------------------------------------
On the way home, I took the opportunity to talk about the sword-wielding men in my family.
For example, Utsusemi Kanesada who always talks about elegance, Kashuu Kiyomitsu who likes to paint his nails, his former owners were Oda Nobunaga's Yasukiri Hasebe and Sozo Sahimone, one of the precious Five Swords of the World who actually looks like an old grandfather, Yamaubakiri Kunihiro who grew up with me and is like an older brother, and so on.
"Does Toushirou also work for the Government of Time?"
"No, Urahara and I are just cooperating with each other. Strictly speaking, we have little to do with the current... government."
"So... can I ask about the job description? Oh, if it involves a confidentiality agreement, forget it."
Some organizations, like the Time Government and the Secret Service in the present world, keep their work secret. Even family members can't be told. I have some common sense; after all, I'm a member of a confidentiality organization. Auntie and Saburo are the same way. Although they know my work might be a bit strange, they're both considerate and don't ask any questions.
"Well, sorry, I may not be able to tell you the details."
"So..." Well, even though I was mentally prepared, I still felt a little disappointed and a little worried. "Is it a job more dangerous than being a Shinsengumi? Yes, does it come with a salary? Just a subsidy or something. I'm a civil servant, so the benefits are pretty good!"
“You even know this word.”
"Hehehe." Every profession has its own specialties.
He managed to laugh. "Yes, I do. I get a salary, subsidies, benefits, and even housing. It's just that I'm usually quite busy with work." We stopped at a street. "As for the level of danger... not that bad?"
Cars were coming and going on the road, and the roar of engines and the honking of horns were a bit noisy.
I suddenly felt uneasy: "Really?"
Toshiro's swordsmanship is obviously much better than that of ordinary people. He can knock out all the gang members without batting an eye. He and the profiteer Urahara also have dealings with the Government of Time.
Is this kind of work really not dangerous?
"You didn't lie to me?"
"It's not dangerous to me, after all—" He frowned and looked down at me, taking advantage of his height. "Why do you always pay attention to strange things?"
"ah?"
"Rather than worrying about this, shouldn't you be more suspicious of whether I lied?"
"Uh, like...like?"
The sidewalk light turned green and the people next to him left, but Dong Shilang didn't move.
"For example, whether Urahara and I are related, my so-called lack of connection with the mafia, and my so-called 'work'."
His brows furrowed again, as if he really disapproved of me.
"You don't have any questions about this?"
This question actually touched me. "Actually... everyone has said this." I pinched my cheek in confusion. "But I just feel like you're not lying. It's like, a girl's sixth sense?"
"And from the first day I saw you, I felt—"
I was about to say that from the first day I met him, I felt he was very kind, a sense of familiarity. But the moment I looked up and saw Toushirou's expression, the words suddenly got stuck in my throat.
His brows were furrowed and his lips were pursed as if he was unhappy, but when I saw his deep blue eyes, I was very sure that he was not angry or unhappy.
It was an expression that, how should I put it, made my nose feel a little sore.
Why is this happening?
"winter--"
Just as I was about to speak, a sudden gust of wind blew, ruffling my long hair. Dust and hair mixed together and clung to my face. I subconsciously closed my eyes and began to comb my hair with my hands.
Ahhh, everything about spring is good, except that the wind is too strong!
"Oh, sorry! Wait, wait a minute..."
I reached into my pocket and wanted to use a spare rubber band to tie up my long hair. At this moment, a warm hand suddenly rested on my neck and helped me to smooth my messy hair aside.
I subconsciously raised my head and saw Dong Shilang gently brushing away my messy bangs with his other hand. He looked at me and smiled gently.
It was just like the smile on his face on the day of the confession, after going through shock, regret, and confusion, and hearing my hesitant explanation.
Tears fell so suddenly.
"Huh?" My heart ached slightly, but I couldn't stop crying. Was something dirty stuck in my eyes? "Uh, I'm sorry..." I wiped my tears with the back of my hand, but the sadness wouldn't subside.
"Maybe sand got in."
"……Yeah?"
I sniffled, my vision blurred by tears. Dong Shilang wiped away the tears with his fingers, then stretched out his arms and gently hugged me.
His embrace was warm.
Later on the way, he held my hand tightly and didn't let go. Speaking of which, this was my first time, right? Being held in my boyfriend's arms, walking hand in hand with him down the street.
I should be happy, but that feeling of joy is accompanied by a slight pain. Is it because I am too happy?
"arrive."
"Ah, really, we're home."
The sun was almost setting, and the streetlights outside my house were on. Lights were shining through the windows of the small building; I guess they were still waiting for me to come home.
"You go back."
“…But…” Aren’t you leaving?
Dong Shilang put one hand in his pocket and shook his head gently: "It's okay, I'll just watch you go home and leave."
"Okay, fine. I'm going to school the day after tomorrow." Looking at my boyfriend standing under the streetlight at the door, I suddenly felt reluctant to leave. I wanted to ask him to stay and come over to my house. "If I have time, can I text you or something?" But in the end, common sense made me retract this impulse.
"Sure, just do as you like."
"Then... can you hug me again?"
“…”
I saw the smile on Dong Shilang's face disappear for a moment, and then the corners of his mouth curled up again, and his expression became a little helpless.
He took a few steps forward, reached out his hands, and hugged me again.
Unlike the previous comforting hug, this time, his hand gently stroked the back of my head, and the arm around my waist became a little stronger.
I reached out and hugged him back, resting my cheek against Toushirou's shoulder and nuzzling it with my head. He had a faint, incense-like scent.
Just when the other person's arms relaxed and his body was about to distance himself from me, I seized the opportunity, stood on tiptoes, and quickly kissed him on the face!
"B-Bye!"
Without looking at my boyfriend's expression, I took a few steps back and ran back to the door quickly.
After the door opened and closed, and I leaned against it, I realized my legs had gone limp. My heart was beating rapidly, and my face felt like it was burning.
Ahhhh, the blood just rushed to my head and I did something rude! ! ! !
But, but he smells so good, and his face is so soft... hehe...
“Ah—! No, I’m still a little shy…!”
I wonder if Toushirou has left yet. What would his expression be? Oh, why didn't I check just now? Am I stupid?!
"……Owner……"
"Wow!"
I looked up and saw Hasebe, Kasen, Kiyomitsu, and even Gokotai and his little tigers, all standing at the entrance and the stairs, looking at me in surprise.
………………That is to say, these knife-wielding people saw me standing at the door just now, grinning, screaming and jumping up and down.
"...Uh, you, you guys..." My face started to heat up rapidly again, but this time it was completely different from the feeling just now. "You guys, when-"
"We've been here since Mr. Hitsugaya dropped the Lord off at his doorstep."
"Mr. Hitsugaya, um, you hugged the master, is that a farewell?"
"Ahem, alright, now that the Lord has returned, shall we go back and eat?"
Hasebe was even more exaggerated. He lowered his head at first, "...Master, alright, since it's someone you like, I, Hasebe, can't force you to do anything. It's just... it's just...!" Then he got increasingly agitated, finally dropping to his knees and bowing to me. "You... you're only in junior high this year!"
No, shouldn't I be the one who caused the Big Bang? Aren't you a little too excited?
