Chapter 51 The Handsome God and the Artifact
According to the evaluation of the famous detective Conan Edogawa himself, the only bright spot in this captain's death case, which actually shocked Soul Society, was that the murderer relied on a perfect fake death disguise to eliminate himself as a suspect from the very beginning.
And his biggest failure was that he used a superfluous suicide note to narrow the scope of suspects to [people familiar to the deceased (and murderer)].
Therefore, as long as the investigators do a detailed elimination, they can easily find the biggest loophole in this case.
There's a killer missing here.
"Compared to this failed crime plan, I'm actually more curious about how he faked his death."
The famous child detective said thoughtfully, "Leaving behind a body that's completely unrecognizable makes it easy to detect it's not the deceased. Simply disappearing isn't enough to conclude he's dead. I do remember a case where the murderer drew a vial of his own blood every day for two weeks, preserved it, and then sprinkled it at the staged murder scene on the day of his fake death, misleading the police into declaring him dead based on the amount of blood he bled—"
Yuanzi hung up the phone expressionlessly.
The drunk Huo Jinshen lay on her back like a boneless person and asked in a sticky voice, "What's wrong?"
Suzuki Sonoko thought seriously for a moment and said, "It just suddenly occurred to me that the unfortunate guy already knew there were Shinigami in this world. I could have just said that the deceased, Aizen Sosuke, was a Shinigami captain, and that it was another captain who killed him. Why would I bother making up a company setting to fool him?"
How many brain cells did she lose to come up with that setting?
wrong.
Sonoko shook her head violently. She looked at Yato and announced bluntly, "The savior of the Japanese police said that Aizen is not dead."
...Not dead?
The man and the god stared at each other in confusion for ten minutes. After sobering up a little, Yato asked tentatively, "Is there... a conspiracy here?"
Sonoko nodded slowly, narrowing her eyes in a serious manner: "It must be a big conspiracy!"
That’s right. If it wasn’t a big conspiracy, why would Captain Aizen cancel his household registration and make himself an illegal resident?
Yato looked at her blankly, "So what do we do now?"
After a moment of silence, the two of them ran out one after the other.
Still asking what to do?
——Of course, I should quickly inform Hei Yin-chan who is still fighting for her life!
It was the same distance from the door, and Yato knocked down the two Shinigami who were in charge of guarding in two quick moves, and jumped onto the beam with a tip of his toes.
Suzuki Sonoko stepped over the threshold with her long dress lifted up. She looked to the left and saw a long row of stairs. She looked to the right and saw another long row of stairs.
The eaves where Yato was standing was at least twenty meters away from her in a straight line. Sonoko jumped a few times on the spot and felt that instead of catching up with Yato, she would most likely fall to her death if she jumped.
Yato subconsciously turned around, and it seemed that he wanted to pick her up and take her away.
Sonoko waved her hand righteously and shouted to Yato who was standing high above: "No need. It's not convenient to bring me along in a fight. That guy called Aizen has caused such a big thing, he must take advantage of the most chaotic time to close the net. Kurone-chan might have been taken advantage of by him now. Go and help quickly, don't let your own people suffer——"
Having said that, Yuanzi looked at the distant stairs leading to the Bipolar Tower and gritted her teeth: "I can just run over there slowly by myself!"
Yato stood on the roof and felt the location of his divine weapon with an expressionless face. In the past few days, Kurosaki Ichigo's spiritual pressure had undergone some more powerful changes, but although this change was drastic, it was not enough to suppress the feeling of suffocation he felt a few days ago.
In other words, with his current strength, Ichigo Kurosaki still does not have the qualifications to fight against certain beings in the Seireitei.
Suzuki Sonoko had rolled up her trouser legs and was ready to run when she saw Yato standing on the roof and suddenly stopped moving.
She sighed in frustration, thinking that Ichigo had been fighting for a few days while you were still here living a life of luxury and sleeping, and you felt so unloved by your companions. Now that a big conspiracy has been discovered, you should try to save the situation at this critical moment, right?
How come after not seeing them for a few days, their lazy and shameless guardian angel is still like he has procrastination disorder, and has to pose for a while before taking any action?
Yato, who was hanging on the eaves, took a deep breath with a cold expression, suddenly jumped down from the roof, grabbed Yuanzi into his arms, and sniffed on her shoulder.
Yuanzi's eyes were dead: "What's wrong with you?"
From an angle she couldn't see, Huo Jinshen gently closed his light blue eyes and promised seriously, "This is definitely the last time."
Yuanzi let out an "Oh" in confusion.
Yato suddenly loosened his grip and pushed Sonoko out of his embrace: "I swear this is the last time. After I'm done with that naughty kid Kurone, I will never let this happen again."
Yuanzi touched her shoulder that was pinched and hurt, and rolled her eyes tiredly: What happened?
——Of course, it’s because as the guardian angel, I left and left you behind!
After making a heroic promise in his heart, Yato touched his face against the wind, and the bib on his chest rustled in the mountain breeze. He nimbly jumped onto the fence in front of him and disappeared on the roof in the distance in a few seconds.
Yuanzi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly squatted down, pressed the back of her hands tightly against her face. She found that her face was indeed blushing and her heart was beating fast, and she couldn't help but start muttering to herself.
"Why do I suddenly feel that Yato's turn just now was a bit handsome..."
However, being handsome cannot make a living. Miss Suzuki used the critical situation to suppress her inappropriate fangirling and began to climb the stairs with a deep hatred.
Looking from a high place, the Bipolar Hill, which serves as the execution platform, seems to be quite close, but apart from the fact that one will only run slowly along the planned route, Jingling Garden is essentially a large-scale building complex.
She ran panting until she felt like she had lost all hope in life, but the two poles were still as far away. Fortunately, the Jingling Court had become chaotic, and there were no patrolling Death Gods along the way.
Before she could suppress the idea of taking a break from her busy schedule, Yuanzi ran around a corner and saw a group of death gods standing quietly just a corridor away from her.
The captain of the 13th Division, Ukitake Jushiro, was originally observing the changes in the spiritual power of Bipolar Hill. After sensing the unexpected light, he subconsciously raised his head.
The moment their eyes met, both of them were stunned as they looked at each other across the corridor.
Suzuki Sonoko frowned uncontrollably: What's with this inexplicable feeling of familiarity?
Seeing her frown, the thin, white-haired man had a faint smile in his eyes.
As the chief officer, Kotetsu Qingyin carefully tugged at his captain's sleeve: This guy in front of me doesn't look like a travel disaster...
In fact, the reason why Ukitake Jushiro was so impressed by this divine lady whom he had only met once was all because of a certain officer in the squad.
After dealing with the returning spirits from Komatsu Castle, the official who had accompanied him began to persistently mutter about being targeted by the gods of Takama-ga-hara. The gods of fortune were especially kind to their worshippers. The female god of fortune stood by the sidelines, watching the entire process with such force that she must have been gritting her teeth.
Ukitake just smiled at what he heard. Instead, he felt that: as a god, the princess protected the believers, but she also knew to obey the will of heaven and did not stop them from extraditing the souls back to the Soul Society. This proved that the goddess was polite and would not vent her anger on others.
So every time Brother Xiguan started to mutter, he would always laugh and joke back - hasn't it been five hundred years and still nothing has happened?
Thinking of this, when Fuzhu looked up again, the funny face of the young official who was fidgeting and muttering, which was left in the depths of time, suddenly emerged in his mind.
At this moment, he and the princess were still looking at each other from a distance. Her face remained unchanged, her eyes were still pure, everything was not much different from five hundred years ago.
——But the young official who was supposed to be standing behind him died in a battle, and this time, the one pulling his sleeve was already another young girl...
At both ends of the corridor, two male Grim Reapers, one tall and one short, with waist-length hair, suddenly laughed brightly.
It's quite rare...
Seeing the female god of fortune tilting her head in confusion, as if she didn't recognize him at all, this clarity, as if looking back over the years, made the Death Captain, who was very impressed, soften his eyes involuntarily.
So, under Suzuki Sonoko's puzzled gaze, the male Shinigami with waist-length hair recalled the greeting he had used when they first met on the battlefield. He leisurely took a half step back, lifted his long hair to one side, and bowed gently.
The water lilies are just beginning to bloom, and the rain is hitting the banana leaves.
——It was as if a colorful butterfly flapped its wings and landed lightly on the branches of a slender willow.
Sonoko was almost stunned, watching this god of death, whom she didn't even know, using his honey trap on her: while she was shouting "I really want to touch his hair!" with all her heart, she couldn't help but take a half step back and swallowed almost imperceptibly.
Hold on, absolutely hold on!
Sonoko glanced at Ukitake Toshiro's profile with a look of both fear and amazement, and warned herself: This is a trap. If you go over there, they will definitely jump up and catch you in an instant!
The next second, Water Lily spoke.
"So the prince that Captain Hitsugaya mentioned who accidentally entered the Seireitei is actually you?"
Oh my god, the voice is nice too...
Sonoko restrained herself and uttered a "hmm", not knowing what to say next. Seeing that the atmosphere was either extremely awkward or she was directly exposed, a loud noise suddenly came from the direction of Bipolar Hill in the distance.
Kotetsu Kiyone: "Captain——"
Yuanzi was startled by her sudden voice.
As the female officer exclaimed, the softness that seemed to have recalled something immediately faded from the white-haired man's face.
Ukitake looked seriously at the place where the spiritual pressure suddenly changed, knowing that Kyoraku Shunsui should have obtained the Shihouin family's divine weapon and started to take action.
This was originally just a precaution, but Kyoraku Shunsui actually took action, which meant that the worst-case scenario they had suspected from the beginning was likely to come true...
Thinking of this, he looked hesitantly at the goddess standing on the steps.
The incident of the gods causing a commotion a few days ago is still fresh in our memory. Hitsugaya had previously said that the gods who had strayed in had been settled, but now she is wandering around alone in the Seireitei Garden. There is obviously something wrong.
But the situation is urgent now, and it is impossible to determine how many traitors there are and who they are. If those guys think that the trouble caused by Lihuo is not chaotic enough, they will be cruel enough to kill the god of Takama-ga-hara and put the blame on him——
Fuzhu took a deep breath, and because the movement was a bit too big, he coughed twice, neither light nor heavy.
"If you don't mind."
Suzuki Sonoko heard Water Lily's generous invitation and said, "Would you please condescend to join us?"
Miss Suzuki, who could no longer find the way, looked around and nodded decisively.
"good!"
Among the Thirteen Court Guard Squads, the Seventh Squad is the guard team within the court. In order to ensure the patrol range, they set up ghost formations at fixed locations specifically for transporting personnel. Sonoko followed behind a group of death gods, and the scene in front of her eyes suddenly went dark and bright. The Bipolar Hill where Wangshan almost ran her to death was already in front of her.
Even from a long distance away, she keenly caught Ichigo Kurosaki's voice.
At this time, he had basically lost his ability to fight, and was lying on the ground with half of his body covered in blood. Sonoko didn't dare to run too close, and only saw that Rukia Kuchiki seemed to have been kidnapped.
Yato stood close by with a serious expression. From Sonoko's perspective, the blue in his eyes seemed so pale that it was almost transparent. He stretched out his five fingers and called out to the blood-soaked Kurosaki, "Black Weapon!"
This is really a - mind-boggling operation!
Suzuki Sonoko couldn't help but slap the railing in front of her and yelled at him: "What kind of black weapon are you talking about, Yato? Are you stupid?"
The place fell silent.
Suzuki Sonoko was so anxious that she jumped on the spot, trying hard to see if there was any crack on the "sword" in Yato's hand. After trying for a while, she gave up judging Ichigo's condition by the state of the artifact.
She met the eyes of Yato who was standing on a high place, and pointed decisively at Aizen Sosuke.
"Isn't he a god of death?"
Although it was just a rhetorical question, Yato miraculously understood what Sonoko wanted to express.
——In this situation, isn't it crazy to fight a god of death who has toyed with the entire Jinglingting?
——If you’re not careful, you might even bleed. Instead of fighting a Death God boss of this level with the half-dead Kurone Ichigo, wouldn’t it be better to just recite the long string of spells that you chanted when you captured the artifact?
Just turn him into a knife and hold it in your hand. It is safer than beating him into submission!
Anyway, the soul body is Aizen Sosuke, and the sword body is still this soul. It is impossible that the Soul Society will not recognize it just because the appearance has changed, right?
Yato paused as he gripped the knife: "Sonoko..."
Before he could say anything, the gentle man in the air suddenly sneered and reached out nonchalantly to take something out of the girl in his arms.
Seeing that Rukia Kuchiki began to bleed profusely and Yato was still hesitating on the eaves, Sonoko's mind suddenly flashed through the equation: "If something happens to Rukia = Ichigo remains obsessed = the artifact stabs the Lord of God = and cannot be released, the artifact and the Lord of God will have to perish together."
She gritted her teeth and stamped her feet, not intending to care about the overall situation that seemed to have been paused. She thought that judging from the situation and treatment of the Shinigami, she was not much different from Yato now. What Yato could do, she might be able to do too!
After a brief moment of self-encouragement, she reached out her hand towards Aizen Sosuke in mid-air.
The brown-haired man wearing black-framed glasses narrowed his eyes and smiled, waiting for her leisurely.
Yuanzi held her breath: "Fengweiyuan China——"
country……
What's behind the country?
Yuanzi raised her hands and was stunned: It’s not a matter of forgetting the words halfway through, it’s that she actually didn’t remember how to pronounce the word from beginning to end!
Although it was very awkward, after she actually said that half of the sentence, Aizen Sosuke, who had been very at ease, suddenly had a change of aura. The pupils hidden behind his glasses suddenly shrank to the size of a needle tip, and even the fingers that were pinching Rukia's shoulder twitched slightly.
You're really brave...
Below, Suzuki Sonoko subconsciously looked up to ask Yato something. When she turned back, she heard a clear sound in her ears. When she came back to her senses, the perspective had changed.
Yato held her and stood on the steps on the other side of Ukitake. The squinting-eyed fox-like silver-haired man whom she had seen in front of the East Great Holy Wall earlier was standing where she had stood before with a cold expression. The short knife in his hand was so shiny under the reflection of the scorching sun that it was eye-catching.
Yuanzi immediately took a breath of cold air.
"...I was ambushed?!"
Yato lowered his head and rubbed her hair with the side of his cheek.
"It's okay, don't be afraid."
Ukitake sighed as he glanced at Ichimaru Gin's smiling face, and finally accepted the reality wearily: As expected, there are still accomplices...
=====
The completely exposed rebels left under the guidance of the Hollow. The Shinigami of the Seireitei gathered for a meeting with heavy expressions. Sonoko sat in the gorgeous reception room and listened to Yato's explanation.
Except for the gods who were born first, all other gods were born from human prayers. They exist to protect humans and respond to human prayers.
The Soul Society is where the dead souls wait for reincarnation. The Shinigami who have awakened their spiritual powers exist to protect the peace of the souls.
Strictly speaking, Soul Society is actually just a part of Yomizu Country. It follows the will of Izanami-no-Mikoto and maintains order in the afterlife. As long as the gods of Takama-ga-hara don't want to commit suicide, they will never provoke them.
Hearing this, Sonoko subconsciously thought of the passive artifact Kurosaki Ichigo.
"Is this okay?"
Yato waved his hand indifferently and continued his science lecture.
After a living soul becomes a dead soul, it will appear in three states.
Representing the origin [zero], which is the normal state, are the millions of souls waiting for reincarnation. After death, they are guided to Soul Society by the God of Death or the Hell Butterfly, and live quietly in Rukongai, waiting for reincarnation;
The God of Death is the positive pole of Zero Point, the state in which the soul awakens its spiritual power. Due to some essential breakthroughs, they can transform weapons from their souls and fight.
That weapon is the Zanpakutō, which is said to be the other half of the soul of the God of Death.
The [negative pole] of [zero point] is generally the soul that loses its memory immediately after death due to incompleteness.
Only the obsessive soul will degenerate into nothingness, while the completely blank dead soul will become a wandering soul, wandering aimlessly in the human world.
The fates of these wandering souls vary. The luckiest ones will be collected by the gods as artifacts before being devoured by demons. In this case, it is the Lord God who will inspire the essence of their souls and transform them into weapons with their own nature to fight.
In order to maintain the normal order of reincarnation, gods are not allowed to restrain souls that can be reincarnated, nor can they move the god of death at will.
In fact, the Shinigami who have learned Shikai have already developed a certain degree of resistance to the summons of the gods because they have a clear understanding of the form of their own weapons. Once they further learn Bankai, they can basically guarantee their own autonomy.
"As for that guy Hei Yin..."
——As mentioned earlier, compared to the God of Death, Ichigo Kurosaki is actually just a living soul that has obtained the power of the God of Death. He is an illegal person no matter where he is and is not subject to any restrictions at all.
Yato stopped fighting and obeyed a few days ago. Firstly, he found that he was no match for the old man named Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, and secondly, he suddenly realized that if he insisted on challenging the authority of Soul Society, he would most likely be on the wanted list in Takama-ga-hara before he could get a residence permit there.
Of course, as a wandering god without household registration, these rules were explained to him by the head of the Soul Society nobles who was responsible for guarding him after he was beaten by old man Yamamoto a few days ago.
Suzuki Sonoko listened for a long time and finally understood.
Then she became even angrier: "So, even if I didn't forget the words, I couldn't really turn that Aizen into a divine weapon. If that's the case, why did Squint-Eyes attack me?"
"Basically, I'm not absolutely sure," Yato yawned. "If you fight him to the death, you might actually succeed."
People who engage in such a big conspiracy would never gamble on that one in ten thousand possibility - wouldn't they have to kill you before that "one in ten thousand" thing happens?
After they finished their popular science lecture and the conference was over, Ichigo Kurosaki was officially promoted to the acting Shinigami, and all the troublemakers who came with him were pardoned.
After the fight, everyone went back home to their mothers.
=====
The affairs of Soul Society have come to an end here. As Rukia Kuchiki is not dead and his obsession with the divine weapon has disappeared, it means that Ichigo will not stab Yato again. As a household god who should have taken up his post long ago, Yato should also do his job as a guardian god well!
When they came back, they took the regular gate of Soul Society. Not far from the gate, there was a crossroads where there was trouble. Sonoko called a taxi and planned to take the guardian deities and guardian artifacts home to familiarize themselves with the intersection first.
The car is spacious and has good privacy. There is a No-Brain on the left side of the garden and an Unhappy person sitting on the right side.
The relaxed Yato puffed up his cheeks and began to daydream: "Rather than sleeping, I'd rather find a place to have a big meal..."
Kurosaki Ichigo curled his lips: "You've been entertained for three days, haven't you had enough?"
Yato immediately exploded, gesticulating and arguing, "Do you think waiting is easy? I have to worry constantly about you getting frustrated, or stabbing me out of your wits, and then I have to worry about you accidentally dying. For three whole days, I've been drinking to drown my sorrows and can't even eat, okay!?"
Ichigo rolled his eyes and said nothing.
Yato, addicted to acting, had tears in his eyes. He angrily scolded the unfilial son with deep sorrow: "I am risking being hunted down by the Takama-ga-hara Kaishenyi to help you, an unfilial son, to sort out the beginning and the end. Is this how you talk to the Lord of the Gods?!"
Unfilial son...
Yuanzi's mouth twitched: Oh no, Heiyin is going to explode!
The car was silent for a long time. Kurosaki Ichigo yawned lazily, as if he hadn't heard anything. He leaned back in his chair with his legs crossed, looking at the scenery. Just as Yato was about to burst into tears because of the overwhelming feeling of impending disaster, he whispered, "Thank you."
The car suddenly became quieter.
Ten minutes later, Yato, like a rooster that tries not to show off after crowing, folded his arms and rubbed himself against the chair, suppressing an excited smile and saying in a very hypocritical manner, "You're welcome~"
When Kurosaki Ichigo and his group were crossing the Dangai, seven days of time were swallowed up by Kuto. That is to say, although they fought for several days in the Soul Society, in terms of real time, they left in the morning and came back in the evening.
As a god who has lived for 1,800 years, Yato had no feelings about this. However, Ichigo, because the human 8th dimension was still in charge, said indifferently: "It's nothing. We gained a week of life for nothing, didn't we?"
Miss Suzuki, who lived for more than three months five hundred years ago, rolled her eyes without reservation.
"So, I earn much more than you..."
"What's the meaning?"
So Yuanzi got out of the car and described to the two of them with his hands and feet what he had seen and heard hundreds of years ago, and highlighted the seven golden seeds left on his belt.
——G said that when living together, we should respect each other, not leave things around, and keep our personal belongings safe. Yuanzi hesitated for a long time, but still tied those golden seeds on his belt as buttons. Now that he passed through the gate, he put them back on in the same way he had before.
The eyes of Huo Jinshen, who was so poor that he had never seen real gold in his life, suddenly lit up. He didn't even get out of the car and reached out to pull her buttons, but Ichigo kicked him out and pushed her out of the car by supporting Sonoko's back.
Sonoko originally wanted to follow up on the matter of Jinzhongzi and talk about the possibility that she had lost a part of her memory, but the two of them ended up arguing and walking away. When Sonoko stepped into the gate, she saw a girl walking slowly with a camera not far away across from the mansion.
In the next few days, the heir, guardian deity and guardian artifact of the Suzuki family were actually all at ease. Ichigo Kurosaki walked around the mansion, picked a room for himself to stay overnight, and strongly protested against living next to Yato.
Because it had been a long time since she read it, Yuanzi had almost forgotten the information she had read before. In the interval of drying the salted fish, she picked up the world aquatic distribution map again.
That day, Suzuki Sonoko seriously approached Kurosaki and asked, "As a reward for helping Soul Society uncover the conspiracy, or rather, as a test subject for this Shinigami agent system, can the Seireitei pay you a salary?"
Ichigo yawned lazily and glanced at her: "...What do you want?"
"I just want to ask if they are prepared to give you any reward!"
Ms. Suzuki gave an example: "For example, you could hand over their technology for breeding artificial skeletons to help your company raise piglets and oysters."
"My company?"
Yuanzi raised her head and pointed at herself: "It's my company!"
Holding a copy of "Oyster Instructions," she lamented earnestly, "It would be even better if Yihai's technology could make oysters grow only meat without the shell. Oysters have a high water content, so the meat yield is already terrible. They also have to be dried to make oyster sauce..."
"But speaking of meat yield," Yuanzi's eyes lit up. "Lobsters and crabs are also very expensive. What do you think about me buying a piece of coastal land next to a soybean farm and specializing in seafood farming? Using the technology of cultivating artificial bones, I can grow lobsters and crabs that only grow meat without shells."
Ichigo Kurosaki raised his hands to cover his ears with an expressionless face.
——If crabs and lobsters turned into shell-less soft-bodied monsters, he would rather give up seafood!
Half an hour later, it was time for afternoon tea and snacks. Yato, who was never late for food, showed up in the hall on time. The difference from usual was that he was holding an unconscious girl in his hand.
Yuanzi was shocked by his bold painting style: "Are you...going to rob believers?"
However, Kurosaki Ichigo, who followed in with a math homework under his arm, asked nonchalantly, "You actually brought her back?"
Now Suzuki Sonoko was even more confused: "Who is this girl?"
Yato put the girl on the sofa, then skipped over to the snack stand to pick out some cookies. While eating, he explained vaguely, "I don't know what she does, but this girl has appeared nearby many times, and she's always been well hidden. I remember you said before that you seemed to be being targeted by a black organization. Don't you want to see if this is someone from that group?"
Suzuki Sonoko bit a piece of puff and thought hard for a long time, but couldn't remember what the Black Organization did.
Kurosaki Ichigo bit the pen cap while checking the answer, and took the time to rub her head: "Don't think about it if you forgot, I'm here anyway."
Suzuki Sonoko suddenly stopped chewing the puff and blinked rapidly involuntarily.
——Why do I feel so impressed by the coolness of my own gods and artifacts lately?
=====
When Matsuoka Yuki woke up, a fierce-looking, bad-looking orange-haired boy was sitting not far in front of her. On the other end of the sofa, a frivolous-looking man in sportswear was leaning against it.
She subconsciously looked away and unconsciously pinched the corner of her clothes.
"Are you sure this is a killer..."
The fierce orange-headed guy was puzzled.
"I don't know," the frivolous blue-eyed man rolled his eyes. "I've never seen a killer who specifically lurks and stalks people."
The orange-headed man then turned to look at the other side: "What about you?"
"I?"
A pleasant female voice paused, "I've only ever seen one killer, a man. Now that I think about it, I only have a superficial impression of him, like 'he's super handsome'..."
When Yuuki slowly raised her head, she saw a girl walking down the stairs in front of the porch with a stack of books in her arms.
Her chest-length brown hair was loosely braided and hung diagonally in front of her. She was wearing a long robe that looked very soft. The color was bright, but the overall look was surprisingly clean.
The girl's facial features were vaguely beautiful, but rather than beauty itself, Yuki's first impression when he saw her was exquisiteness.
——Her skin was smooth and shiny, her eyelashes were unadorned yet seemed to grow in the most perfect arc, her eyes were as translucent as brown glass beads, and a faint golden hue shone deep in her pupils.
Each of her finger bones and the flesh attached to them were kept in the most perfect condition; even the sheen of her nails seemed calculated.
This girl has a subtle sense of expensiveness from head to toe.
——Anyway, as soon as you see her, you will know that this person has never done housework, and her body must be the result of the most earnest efforts of various beauticians and skincare technicians.
When you meet this kind of person, your first impression will indeed be that she is very beautiful, but then you will naturally feel that the price behind her beauty must be very high.
Maintaining a refined appearance is expensive;
It is expensive to maintain the clean look in those eyes;
Maintaining her carefree and irreverent temperament is naturally hundreds of times more expensive.
But how to say it...
Matsuoka Yuuki pursed her lips. She is indeed a young lady...
She adjusted her nervous breathing and sat as calmly as possible.
Yuki Matsuoka's family is happy and satisfying, so she doesn't feel the pressure brought by having more or less money. But at this moment, the person in front of her is not just a young lady she has never met before.
This is still the person Simon likes.
Yuki and Ximen's acquaintance was actually very childish. At that time, Ximen Sojiro was just a friend of his friend Shancai and a friend of Daomingsi, who was his pursuer. However, due to the accidental "hero saving the beauty", he changed from a label to a charming man.
That kind of girlish heartbeat was not actually very obvious, it was just vaguely beating in her chest, so compared to really having something happen between her and Ximen, Yuki actually preferred the process of slowly getting to know him.
To what extent, it's probably somewhere between chasing after a male idol and observing a boy you have a crush on.
After Makino Shancai found out, she was surprised and distressed.
In her memory, Ximen was a playboy. Although he was openly philandering, he actually had someone in his heart that he was seriously thinking about.
Unfortunately, when Ximen revealed his dark history, she was busy thinking about how to escape. Apart from vaguely remembering that the girl's personality seemed very similar to Daomingsi, she had basically no other impression of her.
"Speaking of truth," Makino Shancai pinched Yuuki's face tiredly, "Think carefully before you become obsessed with her. It's hard to catch up with her in this situation..."
Yuki hadn't originally planned to pursue Ximen. At this moment, she was actually thinking like a fan who understood another side of her idol: I want to become better for him, and I also want him to become better.
By chance, she found out the name [Hinata Geng] and took the time to ask Ximen Sojiro about it, but got a half-truth story.
Yuki searched many places and finally found the mark that the girl left for Ximen before she left. She had clearly timed it so that he could see the message, but the man's reaction was beyond her expectations.
Ximen Sojiro seemed to relax suddenly, and smiled softly in the morning light. He closed his eyes with an expression that Yuuki couldn't understand, and slowly touched his heart.
"That way it wouldn't be a complete failure."
Yuuki: “Huh?”
Ximen opened his eyes, raised his head and sighed to himself, "It was just that I accidentally missed it when the fate came." "It's no longer a failure, so there's no need to keep thinking about it."
Yuuki didn't understand what he meant.
Shancai didn't understand what she said.
However, when Mei Zuoling was sitting in the store where they worked, she sneered at these words.
The playboy, who occasionally played the role of a sarcastic person, picked up a senbei from the plate and said, not knowing whether to mock or sigh, "For Ximen, it's enough to have a clear reason for Xiao Geng's departure."
As if speaking with considerable experience, he concluded, "Some things, like first love, are particularly profound because they happen so young. But as long as you understand the whole story and have a proper closure, whether the outcome is good or bad, you'll gradually stop caring about it."
Makino Shancai blinked: "...I still don't understand."
Mei Zuo snorted, then smiled and said, "Why do you think he's relaxing? His first love's departure without a word has come to an end. So, isn't there only one person left who deserves his unwavering remembrance?"
At this point, Mei Zuo curled his lips in disgust, crossed his legs and stretched.
"Actually, [parting because the engagement didn't work out] and [first love leaving without saying goodbye] are the same thing. The girl confessed her feelings to him but was missed and couldn't be together, that was [fate]. Doesn't it mean it's not [fate] because they're both heirs and can't be together?"
"There's no difference at all between the two things."
The gangster's eyes were filled with a cold smile. "Rather than saying that the matter of Hinata Geng has been clarified and there is no need to worry about him anymore, it's more that Ximen has changed his mind."
"He just wanted to [never forget] someone's [unintentional death], so when he figured out the whole story of the first incident, he gave himself a reason to let it go."
Mimasaka Rei's expression of watching the fun suddenly calmed down a little. Yuuki noticed that before he spoke again, he touched his nose with an unclear expression.
"Now, it depends on whether our invulnerable Miss Suzuki still buys it."
——The invulnerable Miss Suzuki that Mimasaka mentioned is Suzuki Sonoko.
Compared to Hinata Geng, who Yuuki had to find out privately with great difficulty, information about Suzuki Sonoko was actually very easy to obtain.
Shancai's classmates in Yingde would occasionally visit the Japanese confectionery shop where they worked, and the information revealed in those intentional or unintentional chats was extraordinarily useful.
She was going on blind dates non-stop with the goal of finding a son-in-law, and the latest candidate seemed to be the youngest son of a medical family. The female voice was teasing, and Yuuki noticed that she made a six gesture, as if to say that the boy was Miss Suzuki's sixth fiancé.
And Simon was her first.
At that age between youth and maturity, they went on a blind date, got along, stayed together, and officially got engaged.
Later, Ximen Sojiro became the heir due to family reasons and had to separate from her on the eve of their engagement.
Amid the frustrated discussions of the girls and the mocking sarcasm of Mimasaka Rei, Yuki realized belatedly that although the engagement, of which she knew nothing, had ended, compared to Miss Suzuki, who was still working hard to recruit a son-in-law for the family, Ximen had never been able to get over it.
He once accepted a woman on the precondition of marriage, so after her, he never looked at anyone else.
Thinking of this, Yuuki looked up at the orange-haired delinquent boy who was very fierce but very handsome when he spoke the truth, and then looked at the frivolous blue-eyed man who looked frivolous but was also very handsome when he spoke the truth, and sighed softly.
So, it turns out that Simon is the only one who hasn't come out yet.
This Ms. Suzuki really fits the character described by Mimasaka Rei...
"Is this a killer?"
"Shouldn't it be?"
When she came back to her senses, the hesitant female voice had stopped in front of her. Yuki saw that Miss Suzuki seemed to observe her carefully for a while, then sat down on another small sofa.
She looked at Yuuki intently and placed the thick stack of books in her hand on the desk beside her.
Yuuki Matsuoka glanced at him.
The first book: "Breeding and Postpartum Care of Sows".
The author has something to say: The only original plots that appear in this chapter are [Aizen catches Rukia to dig out the Collapsing Jade] and [Yuuki takes Ximen to see the sign]. Hinata is Ximen's destined first love in Hana Yori Dango. This is the name in the Japanese version, and I'm not sure what it's called in other versions.
The original plot is less than 300 words in total, and it is just a joke without any description of the original work. The original Jinjiang plot can only serve as a background board, and the background board cannot be written in too much detail. You can imagine the part where Aizen Juju ascends to heaven by yourself. Anyway, this ascension is rather hasty.
Let me give you an example of Ukitake’s attitude towards Sonoko.
After you become a corporate slave from a student, everything has changed. Then, you go to the gate of your alma mater and buy a delicious meat bun that is deeply engraved in your memory. It may not be particularly delicious, but it carries sentiment.
Fuzhu looks at the garden just as you look at that meat bun.
The settings of artifacts and Shinigami are the same as what was written in the middle paragraph. Shinigami can be considered to have awakened on their own. If a Shinigami is turned into an artifact, then its specific state and ability will be similar to his Zanpakuto.
Well, the admirer of the ex-ex-ex-ex-ex-ex-fiancé is online, but compared to the rumored aloof Miss Suzuki, she might see a Miss Suzuki with a magical style.
New characters will appear tomorrow, good morning everyone!
Finally, as usual, please leave a message, mua (づ￣ 3￣)づ
