[Reaper Lanping] Dark River

Kakuza-cho No. [-] High School.

Kurosaki Natsuri hung her schoolbag by the table, pulled out a chair and sat down.Because of Urahara's various strange sprays, she can stay away from the ghosts that haunt her at this time.As a sophomore in high school, she is still quite nervous about her studies. If she is always disturbed by various unknown people, she will feel very troubled.

It's weird though, even though there are times when she forgot to spray her clothes lately, there are very few ghosts coming.

"Students, today we welcome a new classmate from Kyoto."

The teacher said so when he walked in, with a smile on his face.

New classmate... Kurosaki Natsuri looked at the door with her chin in her hands.

"Student Tianman, come in." The teacher waved to the door.

The new classmate who was standing at the door came in, her smooth black hair was loosely tied into a bundle, hanging on her chest, her brows and eyes were full of tenderness, and she spoke with a soft and pleasant Kyoto accent.

"It's the first time I've met you. I'm Chizuru Amma from Kyoto. Please give me your advice."

After she finished speaking, she bowed lightly and waited for the teacher to assign her a seat.

"Misa-san took a long vacation this semester, Tenma-san will sit with Misa-san."

It turned out that the owner of the seat was Misaki Akira, a boy who sat next to Kurosaki Natsuri before. He was good at studying, but he didn’t like to participate in activities, and he didn’t see any friends at ordinary times. Even if he sat next to her, they rarely talked to each other. Pass.

Sitting in the single row next to the penultimate row by the window, Tianman smiled slightly at Xia Li who was looking at her, and sat down while pulling out the chair.

Well, it doesn't look cold.Xia Li also nodded in response, and then the teacher started the first class of the new day.

Because I am a classmate from Kyoto and a big city, there are many girls who come to talk to me after class. After a morning, I added a lunch break.Although it was nice to have a not-so-indifferent classmate sitting next to her, Xia Li felt a little irritated when there were too many people.

At this time, the discussions of other students attracted Xia Li's attention.

"Have you heard, the one on the rooftop?"

"That's the one, the one who said it was a hundred-test Bailing! If you invite me, you can answer all kinds of questions!"

As soon as I focused on it and tried to pass the time, the girl next to the new classmate finally dispersed and went to do other things.Tianman turned around, looked at her and smiled: "Is it Kurosaki-san?"

"Ah, I am." Xia Li also turned around, nodded with a smile.

"Kurosaki-san...does anyone have family members named Kurosaki Ichigo?"

Knowing her brother's troublesome physique, Xia Li immediately became vigilant, but Tianman didn't seem to feel it, and looked at her with a smile, waiting for her answer.

"He's my brother." Xia Li adjusted her expression slightly, trying not to show any vigilance or uneasiness.

Amma Chizuru still spoke with a soft Kyoto accent: "Is that so, that's great. Your brother helped me a lot before, and I'm very grateful."

"Student Tianman!"

There was a shout at the door, and Tianman looked up at the door.

"The new history teacher told you to go to his office."

"OK, thanks!"

He nodded to Xia Li again, and without waiting for her to react, Tianman got up quickly and walked out of the classroom, leaving Xia Li alone in doubt.

What, did my eldest brother get into some trouble again?

After bringing Hina Mori to the real world, Hirako had to deal with not only Aizen, but also the official documents that Hina Mori brought over "by the way", insisting "I ask the captain to approve these when I am patrolling in the real world".While waving the writing brush, he discussed the current situation with Urahara.After staying in this world for a period of time, he is used to using pens. Recently, he tried his best to recommend fountain pens to Jingle Chunshui to promote the pen in the world of souls, but was rejected by everyone, so he had to dial every day after returning to the world of souls. Take some time to practice calligraphy.

He originally thought that he would never return to Soul Soul Realm, let alone become the captain again.

"That is to say, you just said that to deal with Hina Mori-kun?"

"To be honest, I don't know either!" Mako Hirako continued to sway her brush with her head buried in her head, her signature was said to be unrestrained, but it was completely random graffiti, "Ah, really, that guy Aizen, could he have actually hypnotized Ichigo? ? Is he actually lying to us these days?"

Urahara's fan was still fanning leisurely: "Well, anyway, you can choose to go back at this time, can't you? Anyway, Hitsugaya-kun and Matsumoto-kun are investigating here, and it's too wasteful to have two captains here! "

Pingzi rolled his eyes. Now that things are up to now, the diligent Xiaotao has taken care of the first team and room 46, and successfully got the official documents to come to the world with her.And when it comes to things about Aizen, Tao will become unexpectedly motivated, even if he goes back at this time, Tao will not go back.

"Speaking of which, after you went back suddenly that day," Urahara slightly deviated from the topic, "Ai Ran-kun also said hello to us and left first, and now his whereabouts are unknown - before you came back, Hitsugaya-kun had already gone to Lan Ran. Ran’s apartment was searched, and I’m still waiting for you to explain why there is your Reiatsu there.”

Great!

Pingzi quickly lowered his raised head to look at the document as if avoiding it: "I...wait a minute, I've been away for such a long time, why is my spiritual pressure still detected?"

While he was struggling between rational and intuitive choices, Hitsugaya Toshiro also entered the Urahara store, just in time to hear his complaints.Hirako also saw Hina Mori standing outside chatting with Matsumoto the moment the door opened, maybe it was by accident?

"Ah, Hirako." The captain of the [-]th squad with a cold face, took out from his arms something that looked like a magic messenger, but obviously smaller than the magic messenger, and handed it to Mako Hirako, "Ten The latest invention of the captain of the second squad, the spiritual pressure detection machine, he has collected everyone's spiritual pressure data before, and the response on it shows that you have stayed in Aizen's residence for a while."

Although he is young, Shiro Toshiro has been popularized for the incident 110 years ago. Logically speaking, Hirako has no doubts at all, but because he is not the person involved, this sense of trust has been weakened a lot.Maybe the two have settled their suspicions?He frowned, waiting for Hirako's explanation.

"Ah, Hitsugaya-kun, if you insist so much, I have nothing to say—" Hirako folded his hands in the capacious sleeves of Captain Haori, "So, not only do I have to be busy giving Aizen has been convicted and has to prove his innocence, which is a bit troublesome to be honest."

Toshiro Dongshiro is grateful for Pingzi who has solved Tao and sacrificed her life to save her in the thousand-year bloody battle; but it is also widely known that Pingzi Mako is doing nothing but doing important team affairs every day.He personally doesn't appreciate such an unreliable person very much, so it's inevitable that his feelings will be flat.

After all, when Pingzi led the captain and vice-captains to beat the heart of King Ling, he had just come out of the freezer, and he saw the half-dead captain of the fifth division; But he didn't have any special impression of Pingzi—in short, he really hadn't seen this man's reliable side.

"In short, if you want to investigate, the progress will be much faster with Captain Hirako." Toshiro turned around and walked out the door, "It's just that we need to investigate separately, you shouldn't object?"

"Whatever you want, go slowly! See you later!"

He waved his hand to drive Dongshiro away, the moment the sliding door opened, he also saw Luanju standing outside the door, nodded to him and left with his team leader;

"Vice-captain Hina Mori, now I want to give you a task."

"what?"

Seeing Hina Mori getting motivated, Urahara, who was on the sidelines, always felt that what Hirako said might not be a serious order.

"Go and pester Hitsugaya-kun." Hirako tilted his head, his eyes glanced to one side unnaturally.

Chu Sen first agreed reflexively, and then realized something was wrong.

"Eh, eh?? Captain! Didn't you say you want to investigate together?"

Facing the vice-captain's objection, Hirako began to run the train with his mouth full: "You can also see that just now Mr. Hitsugaya walked out without a smile at all, and the matter of my staying at Aizen's place before was also found out, he But don’t worry about me at all~”

"Captain, how is that possible—but Shiro-chan always keeps a straight face. After this, I will..."

"I'll leave it to you, anyway, when this kid meets you—"

"team leader!"

Urahara covered his face and couldn't bear to look directly at this scene, and only interrupted when they were at a loss for words in the middle of the argument: "Well, Mr. Hirako, even if it's an investigation, Mr. Hitsugaya has Seireitei to show you the direction. Your task The explanation is to assist Hitsugaya-kun..."

"That's why Tao was asked to help!" Pingzi said with confidence.

"—But actually, you want to prove Aizen-kun's innocence, right?" Urahara closed his fan and patted his knee.Pingzi was speechless for a while, and couldn't help but "tsk" in the strange silence.

"Placing an order will only increase your suspicion, and it will not be conducive to your investigation." Urahara pointed out this point calmly, "Mr. Hitsugaya's direction is to rush to the scene in time according to the abnormal spiritual pressure and soul disappearance detected. , if it's you, why don't you take a good look around in the empty seat, maybe you can find Aizen, and ask him face to face."

On one side, Chu Sen was a little nervous, but Pingzi put her hands on her hips: "Even if I want to prove his innocence, will he show up if I go to him?"

"This is..."

Urahara rested his chin in one hand and meditated, Hirako grinned, revealing a row of neat and white teeth: "Look——"

"correct!"

As if he just remembered, Urahara clenched a fist with one hand and tapped the palm of the other, "Let's try to call Aizen-kun first! I remembered his email address and communication number last time! How can we prove our innocence?" It's faster that way!"

The bewildered young Mori could only smile at Pingzi with a bewildered look: "Well, although I don't quite understand it, it seems that I can get in touch with Aizen-kun. It's really great, isn't it captain?"

Hirako seemed to react for a second, and then he punched Urahara, who was triumphant, on the head.

"You have already thought of it, right! You bastard!"

Before Hirako's fist swung down for the second time, Urahara quickly dodged it, took out the business card from Hirako's coat that he had turned out from a drawer of the closet beside him, jumped to the landline and pressed the speakerphone. Enter the number after pressing the key, without giving Hirako time to protest.The boring notification tone of waiting for a connection sounded for a while. During this period, in order to protect the landline from being hung up, Urahara protected the landline with his hand, and kept hitting Hirako's hand aside, who wanted to cut the phone line, with low-level ghosts.When the phone was picked up, Urahara heaved a sigh of relief.

"Hey, Aizen-kun?" - such a familiar opening line.

The call actually got through, which really surprised Pingzi.It doesn't matter if he got through last time. As a suspect this time, is he really ignorant of the abnormal event of the disappearance of his soul?

Urahara pressed the handset on the landline, and there was Aizen's calm voice: "Hello, Urahara-kun?"

"Ah, yes, there are Mako and Vice Captain Hinamori next to me, and I want to ask you a few questions." Urahara didn't give Hirako a chance to interject, and quickly finished speaking, then bent proudly under the brim of his hat Eyes, the small fan flapped happily.

Hirako's expression seemed to be stuck in her throat; Hinamori, who heard Aizen's voice, showed a surprised expression at first, but then lowered her eyes and rubbed her feet against the tatami of the Urahara store.

What should I say, and where should I start?

"Captain? And Chisen?"

There was only the buzzing noise produced by the current in the microphone. After he spoke like this, Aizen only heard a low response with anxiety, which belonged to a girl's soft voice.

"Chisen, I haven't spoken for a long time, how are you doing recently?"

"I... Captain Aizen... Aizen-kun, I'm fine."

Calm and gentle, with the same voice as many years ago, Chisentao almost shed tears when he heard it.

"Is the captain with you?"

"exist!"

Seemingly forgetting that Aizen was on the other end of the microphone, Hina nodded while answering, and stretched out her hand to quickly wipe away the moisture from the corners of her eyes.

Pingzi was still silent, so there was only a little silence on the other side, and he said, "I'm outside the studio now, and I'm going to the next model soon. Captain, what can I do for you?"

In fact, Hitsugaya should be present at this time.

Hirako thought so for a moment.

Even though he was betrayed, after everything was over, he thought that he hadn't learned much from this painful lesson.Why would I believe him? Is it because of that subtle and absurd feeling?

Even so, I can't find a reason why I still trust him after losing my memory. I don't know why I still choose him as my vice-captain after being reminded by Zanpakuto.

"Aizen." He finally asked him, "Did you really spend those four days with me?"

The voice on the other side of the topic was a bit noisy, Ai Ran seemed to turn around and say something to someone, after a rustling sound, his voice sounded again: "It is true that I am with you, what's the problem? "

While fearing to startle the snake, Pingzi couldn't hold back the doubts and anxiety in his heart, and continued to ask him: "As a loser, it seems to me that it is perfectly normal to set up a new goal and pursue it—what do you think? What about Aizen?"

"..."

The current noise dispelled some of the helplessness in the silence, and Aizen's sigh blended into the sizzling signal, and he spoke again with a bit of dissatisfaction: "Why don't you call me Yousuke?"

Urahara didn't know whether it was embarrassment or wanting to laugh, he clenched his hands into fists and coughed abnormally by his mouth.Chimori was still a little dazed, looking at the phone and at her team leader, but Hirako Mako's face was dazed and surprised.

"What... what?"

"Obviously they would call me by my name before, right? I was in Kyoto before—"

"Hey! This has nothing to do with the question I asked!"

The faint red color spread to Hirako's ears, and both Hina Mori and Urahara saw that the normal-colored skin under the golden hair burned red within a few seconds.

"This side is about to start working, captain, if there is nothing else, I will contact you later."

I don’t know if it’s because of seeing through the predicament of Hirako on the other side of the microphone, Aizen said with a smile in his voice: “That’s it, I’ll go back to Karakura Town after work is over, if you’re not in a hurry, we’ll meet again later .”

The communication was cut off just like that, facing the willful former demon king, Hirako, who was the former demon king's boss, stood there dumbfounded, accepting the gazes of the other two people in the room.In the end, it was his new deputy captain who was kinder and covered his mouth to remind him in a low voice.

"Captain Pingzi, your ears are already red, why..."

The captain who was called quickly raised his hand to cover his ears, looked at Urahara who had turned his back and started laughing wildly, and the deputy captain who covered his mouth with curious eyes, and finally yelled heartbroken: "MM Hinamori! You have turned bad! "

So he looked at his lovely deputy captain's eyes quickly filled with grievances and doubts.

"Isn't it—I, ah, that—I'm angry at him! This Hundan just changed the subject casually like this! See it! This is that Hundan! He must be guilty!"

There happened to be another knock on the door outside, Dongshiro led Ranju into the Urahara store, and felt something subtly wrong as soon as he glanced at it.

"Excuse me. Urahara, Hirako, I'm here to share some information I've found." He said in a low voice, and now he and Ranju are wearing inflatable portable skeletons and modern casual clothes. It's like there are more siblings than subordinates.

Luan Ju tidied up the shirt that was about to burst out of her chest, and then the captain said: "I checked it almost before you arrived, but I went out and checked it a little bit-after Aizen escaped from the world of souls, he was in an empty seat. I worked as a graphic photographer in a company in the town. I used to work there all the time, but last week I suddenly said that I wanted to go to Kyoto, and after I came back, I was assigned by the company, and I am currently in Tokyo to shoot print advertisements for the models of the cooperative company.”

When it comes to models and print ads, Shiro Dong's expression is a little unnatural.

"And then, after asking the question, some people praised the captain and said, 'Your brother is very handsome, do you want to come to pick up the endorsement?' Thinking about it this way, the captain will look even more handsome than now when he is fully grown! After all, he is a professional star company— —”

"Matsumoto! Get to the point!"

"Hmm... In short, the timing is very suspicious. He left the empty seat immediately after the soul disappeared. As far as we know, the spirit vein of Aizanchuan in Kyoto reappeared before and disappeared inexplicably five days later. It is impossible that it has nothing to do with his activities. .”

Pingzi put down his hands, huddled in the feathers, frowned thoughtfully.

"According to what we found, your spiritual pressure appeared in Aizen's apartment at the same time when Aizanchuan's spirit vein reappeared and the soul began to disappear..."

"Ah, Captain Pingzi, your ears are so red!" Luanju pouted and pointed at Pingzi's ears.

The voices of the two captains sounded at the same time: "Matsumoto!" "The point of MM Ranju is not this!"

Dong Shilang couldn't help sighing: "Captain Hirako, judging from the past events, it is impossible for you to have any cooperative relationship with Aizen, at least that's what I think now."

Ranju also nodded in the back: "However, I still hope that if Captain Hirako knows anything about Aizen, please tell us. After all, when we came to this world, we were also instructed to exchange information."

"But I still want to investigate separately. It is very likely that he will do something in this company. In fact, where he has gone, Matsumoto and I will do our best to investigate." Dongshiro looked at Hirako.Hirako looked at those firm and unconfused green eyes, and his eyes shifted slightly for a moment.

"In that case, let me tell you the key points first, it's really hard for you to come back after leaving." He regained his laziness, "Mr. Hitsugani, this matter should actually start from a week ago—— —It only includes the week before the working day... Don't frown, if you tell him details such as going to the toilet, picking his ears, or sneezing, it would be a waste of life. Besides, you don't know how to work on weekends, do you? "

When Aizen put down the phone, he looked at the words that the call was over, and the word Urahara flashed below it, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

There were people coming and going around, and he was standing in the corridor, with his hair down, wearing black-rimmed glasses, and looking amiable.

"Hello teacher!"

"Hello teacher!"

He responded with a smile one by one, and put the phone back in his pocket.The casual suit is open, and the one-button shirt is unbuttoned, revealing a little collarbone.This kind of Aizen is gentle and seductive, and his habitual smile makes the passing women look sideways involuntarily.

"Why did you choose me in the end? Obviously, I am the chief culprit who caused you to be like this."

However, this is not Tokyo, nor is it a studio, there are no models, and there are no tasks assigned by the company.He is indeed not in Tokyo, because even if he is very handsome and amiable, if he does not have that dangerous temperament, in the eyes of models and agents, he is just a skilled photographer, and it is not worth looking back.

The female students whispered to each other, and some of the female teachers also cast appreciative glances.

Amman Chizuru stood in front of Aizen, raised his head to meet Aizen's eyes.

"Staying in the shrine will only bring trouble to my mother-in-law and other people around." Chizuru also replied without hesitation.

"It only took a weekend to figure it out, and I should give you a little compliment."

People come and go, and no one else cares what they're talking about.

"Even if the gods of death are here, there is no guarantee that they will come in time if they are in danger; and although Mr. Urahara gave me the contact information, but for Mr. Aizan, although I know some things you have done... But I would like to ask you Use the fastest speed to help me master the real ability that a god of death should have, after all, it was Mr. Aizen who turned me into a god of death, not Mr. Urahara."

Chizuru, who had spoken a long series of words, stopped to observe Aizen's expression.There was admiration in her eyes, and Aizen was obviously encouraging her to continue talking.

"Until I master the power of the god of death, I will stay in Karakura Town. Please, Aizen-sensei."

"Student Tianman, although your understanding of Kisuke Urahara is wrong." Aizen suddenly said this, but continued, "But this choice is very correct."

Aizen, who tampered with the company records and hid himself as a new history teacher at the first high school in the empty seat, was not impatient with Amma Chizuru when this opportunity came; Being around is a nice thing.Aizan himself took the experience of being a guest lecturer in the soul world as a hobby, and he also has a lot of experience in being a teacher.

Moreover, he is also very much looking forward to the special physique of Amami Chizuru—probably because he has "nurtured" a god of death like Kurosaki Ichigo, and being able to shape an outstanding god of death with his own hands is no less fulfilling than getting a collapsed jade.

"I have encountered some trouble recently. Although it is quite boring, I have to be here now." Aizen said to Qianhe, "Please keep this a secret-how about teaching you how to use the power of death on this condition?"

No reason, Amma Chizuru nodded: "No problem, Mr. Aizen."

"After the matter is over, it's not a problem to teach you how to effectively use the power of the god of death... But considering that this troublesome matter may affect you, I need you to master the use of spiritual power as soon as possible, so I will use some special methods. Is it okay?"

Chizuru nodded again.

"Start from the rooftop of this school, student Tianman, stay in school after school, I want to see your potential."

Starting from the roof?

Not knowing what Aizen said, Chizuru watched Aizen return to the office, and the bell for today's last class rang at the same time.

After this lesson, what will be waiting for her?
