[Reaper Lanping] Dark River

Patroled all night and nothing happened.It wasn't until early in the morning that Toshiro and Heiko returned to the Urahara store, followed by Aizen who was still full of energy all night.

"Since the opportunity is rare, how about we go have breakfast, Mako-kun?"

"No! I'm so sleepy! Ah——!"

While talking, Hirako stretched and then yawned long.Walking to the door, Pingzi bent over tiredly and knocked on the door weakly.

It sounded like someone's footsteps, slowly swaying over, the lock was opened from the inside, and Jinghua Shuiyue appeared in front of them rubbing her eyes.

"Welcome back, master, Mr. Hirako, brother Toshiro."

Dongshiro woke up immediately, his green eyes widened: "It's not Dongshiro, call me Captain Hitsugaya! And why is Dongshiro called Brother Dongshiro!"

Maybe because it was morning, Jinghua Shuiyue was not very clear-headed, and said in a daze: "Maybe because Dongshilang brother is a child in the master's heart, so I called him that."

Dong Shilang's head was throbbing with blue veins, he gritted his teeth: "Lan, Ran—"

"What's the matter Hitsugaya-kun, I'm behind you."

A soft voice recalled from behind, Dongshiro looked back in surprise, he was so sleepy that he forgot that Aizen was still behind him.

"Well, forget it, he is such a bad person." Hirako pushed him lightly on the back, took off his shoes and stepped on the tatami, "Dongshiro, go to sleep quickly, the child is grown In the long run, sleeping more can grow your body."

"Hey, you called me Toshiro just now! Call me Captain Hitsugaya! And I'm not a kid anymore!"

"It doesn't matter." Hirako covered his mouth with his hands and yawned.Going out for a walk at night is really good for the recovery of the body. Now the hair has been shortened a lot, and it has just reached the level of the shoulders.

Aizen from behind stared at his hair all night, this guy's mind is really hard to understand.While saying that he wants to understand him by himself, he keeps silent about the thoughts in his heart. Don't be so contradictory!

He must have heard the movement at the door, and it was Luanju who ran out of the room first, stuffing Dongshiro's head into his chest: "Ah, captain! Welcome back! Go to sleep, I'm going out to patrol! Don't sleep If you don’t, you won’t grow taller!”

"Matsumoto!!!"

Aizen smiled silently from behind, and today looked like a very good day.

It's just that he still has some things to care about.

Looking back at the sky thoughtfully, a few traces of gold flowed in the whitish sky, floating among the clouds.He narrowed his eyes slightly, the floating clouds reflected in his light brown eyes.

five years ago, huh?

"Good morning Xia Li!"

"Good morning, Chizuru."

After the two girls greeted each other, Chizuru sat down and opened the book, looking in a good mood.

"Hey, what's the matter, you seem to be in such a good mood——ehhhh???"

If you look closely, there are huge dark circles under Chizuru's eyes.Xia Li didn't see it because she kept her head down to tidy up the table just now.

She opened her mouth halfway and looked at Qianhe: "Hey, what did you do last night?"

Qianhe smiled easily, but also a little embarrassed: "Well, last night——"

【"Since Qianzuru is still worried about her inability, let's come to special training!" Orihime Inoue raised her hands to cheer her up.

Qianhe also nodded excitedly: "Thank you! Please, Senior Orihime!!!"

"First start with a knife! I prepared cucumbers, potatoes, and pumpkins for Chizuru! Start by quickly cutting vegetables with a knife, so that the knife does not stick!!"

"good!!"】

Qianhe finished recalling, raised a smile and looked at Xia Li expectantly.

"...Then I had a special training all night! Although I couldn't reach the level of Kurosaki-kun who could solve it in one night, I always felt that I had become a lot stronger! Because when I was a shrine maiden, I used it all the time. They are all short bows, and I was in the Kyudo club when I was in school, and I am not very good at using the sword—but, I will definitely work hard!"

Seeing Qianhe clenched her fist confidently, Xia Li lowered her eyes and looked at Qianhe, her tone was very reluctant: "Ah...ah, that's it, thank you Qianhe..."

Xia Li didn't know how that clog hat trained her brother, but this kind of training method sounds a bit strange anyway... a bit unreliable.

At this time, the bell for class rang, Xia Li turned her phone to silent mode and put it in her schoolbag, and Qianhe did the same.The head teacher came in from the door to roll the roll, and everything seemed normal.

Urahara put down his mobile phone, and looked at the three words not connected on the screen of his mobile phone with a troubled face.

"This time may be in class, yawn—"

While yawning, Hirako opened the door with one hand and walked into the reception room, holding the dinner plate with the other hand: "Good morning, Kisuke!"

"Huh?" Urahara looked up, changing the direction of his head following Hirako's movement, "It's so early, I thought you would sleep until noon."

They came back at about five o'clock in the morning, and now it's only nine o'clock in the morning, and Hirako didn't sleep long.

"Well, it's hard to fall asleep—eh, looking through the mirror?"

There is also a familiar knife on Urahara's right hand.Pingzi pointed to the knife with a dark green handle unexpectedly: "Why, did Aizen go out? And he didn't bring a knife?"

"The original words are 'even if you don't have a knife, there is no problem, stay here and be ready to contact him at any time'." Urahara spread his hands and expressed that he was also confused, "Obviously Hell Butterfly or a mobile phone is fine, I don't know if he is there hold on to something."

Sitting opposite him, Hirako looked at his breakfast, which was white rice porridge, pickles, and dried shrimps, and when he was about to put down the spoon, he raised his head and asked Urahara, "Kisuke, who made the breakfast?"

"Hey, why do you ask this... Ah! The porridge is made by Mr. Tie Zhai, and the other side dishes are bought from outside." Urahara looked down at his phone again, planning to send a text message to the two girls so that they could read it after class. Will reply in time.

Pingzi nodded: "That's right."

That being said, he looked visibly absent-minded.Urahara saw his state, and didn't say anything. After sending the email, he threw the phone aside and asked Hirako, "I put on Yikui early in the morning, where are I going?"

"It just so happens that this is the only set of clothes left for you to change and wash here, and the Shiba outfit and haori are also washed." Hirako tugged at the school uniform of the first high school in Karakuzacho, "I plan to go in for a stroll, just Just wear this suit."

Urahara lazily pointed to his long gray trench coat: "Hey, wearing that doesn't look like a student at all."

"Kisuke, I'm just talking." Hirako scraped the bottom of the bowl clean, clasped his hands together, "I'm done eating, thank you for the hospitality!"

Urahara was lying on the table, looking at Hirako from under the brim of his hat: "Well, the time with the automatic camcorder... um... Hinamori-kun...how is it?"

Hesitatingly, it seems that he wants to ask what is going on between him and Chisen.For this kind of matter, if no one took the initiative to ask him, Pingzi himself would definitely not want to talk about it, and it is impossible to have a positive attitude to solve it.

"Peach, that's it...that's it." Pingzi's expression was indifferent, showing no signs of happiness or anger, "It's not like I haven't thought about this in the past two days."

When Ranju came back with Daimori last night, although she saw that Daimori was somewhat relaxed because of the rare relaxation, but when Matsumoto asked inadvertently, "Has Captain Heiko gone on patrol?", Daimori's expression instantly Become very guilty and ashamed.Combined with the appearance of Hina who came back with red eye circles that day, and Heiko's blurred appearance that day, Urahara knew that the problem was with Hina, but he was still unable to ask.

It seems that as long as the accomplice in this world is found, things will make great progress, and the matter of catching Misaki and that accomplice should be completed soon.

But because Pingzi is his good friend, he also wants to care about other things to some extent.For example, the relationship with his own vice-captain.While thinking this way, Urahara was also worried that he would be considered nosy by Hirako... In terms of his character, he definitely didn't want others to talk about such things.

"I've thought about it, Kisuke - look up, don't hide under the hat, it's ugly."

Hirako stretched out his hand, curled up his index finger, and flicked lightly on the brim of Urahara's wide hat, and Urahara exposed his surprised eyes in his field of vision.

"I think it's my fault as the captain."

He smiled weakly, his oblique bangs drooped slightly because he looked down at Urahara, and the shadows parted and fell into his dark brown eyes.

"As for Aizen, I had a conversation with him last night—at first, I was thinking, since I told him to understand and trust him, why didn't I answer properly when I said something? Do you not refuse reasonable requests?"

At the beginning, I was still very upset, thinking about how contradictory the other party was, and clearly saying things like come and get to know me, but turning a blind eye to some of his problems.

"After thinking about it, Tao is the same way. When I praised her for her high work efficiency, she was very happy. When I went out to play self-willedly, she would take over my job. At the beginning, she was honest with me about her. Thoughts, for me, for the Fifth Division, for Aizan..."

But it never happened again after that, it was just an ordinary relationship between the captain and the vice-captain.After thinking about it, for Tao, he is more responsible, he wants to protect her, and wants her to smile happily; for Aizen, while he cares about being on guard, he just wants him to stay by his side like this, that's all. That's all.

Then I realized that it wasn't that they were not honest enough with themselves, but that they were somewhat resistant to understanding the nearest person.

"...It's just a fear. After getting along day and night, understanding others will also be understood at the same time. If you become someone the other party hates, or find that the other party is not as good as you imagined, a personality like mine is unbearable. Bar."

Jing Jing and Hirako looked at each other, and Urahara's eyes were honest and clear.

"Let's not talk about that first, because of my attitude, the questions I ask are also very irrelevant."

It was because I realized that "my captain is not willing to come to understand me", so I just did things according to my own heart.In Aizen's words, he used his later resistance to deceive them; Tao chose to help his former boss when Aizen might be wronged, so he concealed some things from his current boss.He was more or less aware of the latter, but he didn't expect to hide such important information.

"So knowing that I don't want to understand them, they also don't want to understand me." Hirako sighed softly when he said this, "Kisuke, no matter what you say, you must protect the soul world and be responsible for the fifth squad , In fact, I am not a qualified captain..."

"nonsense!"

Urahara interrupted him, and refuted him righteously: "Mako-kun, it doesn't look like you at all to give up on yourself like this!"

Pingzi looked at him blankly.

"It was you who helped me get out of the confusion in the first place! If you waver, wouldn't I feel like a failure even more?!" Urahara resumed his lazy tone, but his eyes were still extremely serious.

"Actually, you are a person who takes responsibility too seriously! That's why you became like this! Whether it's Hina Mori-kun or Aizen, you're not worrying about the cumbersome things like 'if they don't like me' It's a small matter, but because you have assumed the responsibility that should have been handed over to the vice-captain, and you don't want to hand it over to them! Rather than saying that you are not a qualified captain, it is better to say that you are too qualified!"

It's just that he shoulders all the responsibilities and moves forward, and when asked, he will pretend to be fine and perfunctory.If it is because Aizan didn't give him the responsibility and trust that belonged to the vice-captain because he felt that Aizan was not a good person, Hirako's overprotection unknowingly caused "I don't deserve it" for Hina Mori. He trusts" feeling.Compared with Aizen who would discuss everything with Hinamori before, even though she knew it was acting, Hinamori would compare Aizen and Heiko to some extent, so she would feel disappointed with Hirako.

"The vice-captain is someone who helps you when you are working, and may also be your usual friend. Whether it is work or fighting, you must trust your vice-captain. Because you have to remember that it was not just you who chose them , they also chose you, trusted you, and followed you."

Not to mention whether Aizen really followed Hirako, after the turmoil caused by Aizen calmed down, Hinamori, who was physically and mentally hurt, also chose to accept him after learning that Hirako became the captain.

"In the end, you are still carrying it alone, leaving only their backs. How can that be?"

Urahara straightened his body and said this to Hirako.

Although because of the phrase "you have to trust your vice-captain", he arrived at the scene much later, so that Hiyori was chopped off and blurred.

But he firmly believed in the sentence "you have to trust your vice-captain", which is correct.

After hearing this, Pingzi sat there in a daze and thought for a while, and then suddenly smiled relaxedly.

"That's right, thank you again, Kisuke."

Urahara also laughed, "You're welcome—huh?"

The mobile phone placed under the low table beeped, Urahara turned on the mobile phone and saw that it was Xia Li who replied to him.

"A man named Fukumune Junichiro." Urahara muttered. Is there no other information?

Pingzi stood up holding his knife: "Then I'll go next step."

"Wait." Urahara raised his hand to make him stop, "Student Tianman sent another email, let me take a look—this is it!!"

Urahara's eyes widened, his pupils constricted.

[To: Mr. Urahara

From: Tenma Chizuru

Teacher Fuzong is our new teacher, and it was also the teacher Aizen that you mentioned that day to approach me, so I temporarily took his identity instead.

He said that Karakura Town is not safe recently, and he was still very worried about us. If he hadn’t stopped by to see our situation in the park that day, maybe that person would continue to attack me, right?

He said that he is a native of Karaza, and he used to work in a big city, but because he felt that the big city was not as good as he imagined, that was my own guess. He said that he returned to Karaza this year and has settled down When I get down, I won't run away like before in big cities and empty seats.I am also very concerned about my health recently. Xia Li said that although he is good-looking, but mother-in-law, no one is perfect www

He is an ordinary good person, I hope Mr. Urahara finds this information useful. ]

From between the lines, one can still feel Amma Chizuru's full trust and love for this teacher.

Even if the two of them imagined Tianma Qianhe's seriousness when typing, and maybe Xia Li complaining impatiently on the side, they felt a shudder in their bodies.

[...I am a native of Karaza, and I used to work in a big city...I have returned to Karaza Town this year, and I have settled down, so I won't run away like before in a big city and Karaza...]

"Urahara! I'm going to Karakura-cho Daiichi High School right now!" Hirako immediately got out of his body, put on his windbreaker and ran outside.

Kyoka Suigetsu, who was by Urahara's side, suddenly materialized and chased after him, grabbing the long hem of Hirako's windbreaker: "I'm going too!"

"Huh? I'll just go by myself—"

"Take me!" Jinghua Shuiyue insisted, looking up at Pingzi, "Take me!"

No time to listen to Kyoka Suigetsu's explanation, Hirako picked up Kyoka Suigetsu and hugged her in his arms, let her lie on his shoulder, and walked away in a blink of an eye, leaving only Urahara stunned.

no solution anymore.Sighing, he pointed a hell butterfly at his fingertips and sent it to Aizen with a message.

The only thing that can't be explained now is the roof.But if the person in question is the teacher there, he can also understand - that rooftop is Xu's lair.It may have been transformed by Misao Akira, so the spiritual power of the god of death and the spiritual power of ordinary souls mixed together, plus Misaki's own breath, will weaken Aizen's feeling and make Hirako unable to control it. Live virtual.

"What happened just now, Urahara? Seeing that Hirako hurriedly disappeared."

Dongshiro opened the door, rubbing his eyes.

"Suspects, identify one—but now Tenma-san and Kurosaki-san are both in danger." Urahara put his hat on his head and stood up, "And that one hasn't eaten for a few days, maybe it's out of control I'm going to attack them."

If he really couldn't bear it, there was no guarantee that Fu Zong could control the bird; even if he could control it, it didn't mean he wouldn't let the bird out to kill people.

And Hirako, who was in the sky above Karakura Town, was even more anxious.

Too bad, Chizuru and Natsuri... If something happened to them, he would have no face to face Ichigo first, if he couldn't even protect his sister... and Chizuru who had already been hurt by Kou once in Aizengawa, no matter what ...

Hirako gritted his teeth while Shunbu was running fast in the sky.

"I contacted the master, but the master didn't reply..." Jinghua Shuiyue, who was lying on his shoulder, whispered in his ear.

Pingzi continued to grit his teeth and squeeze out the words: "It doesn't matter whether that kind of person comes or not, remember not to come when you are fighting later, if you die, I don't know what Aizen will do. "

Jinghua Shuiyue opened her mouth and closed it again, not knowing what to say, she just closed her eyes silently, and finally said: "I see, Mr. Pingzi."

Before reaching Soraichi High, he felt a huge spiritual pressure erupting from Karakura Daiichi High School.He stopped and looked into the distance.After taking a deep breath, he continued towards Karakura-cho Daiichi High School.

"This level, Yachukas..."

In Hitsugaya's report last time, it was only written that it was ordinary Daxu, and the Reiatsu was also very strong.He has fought with high-ranking Daxu, and he will not be confused, and he will not fail to write down the characteristics of Reiatsu in detail.

In other words, in the last attack, this Daxu was completely hiding its strength.However, Yachukas is self-aware, so why was the Daxu seemingly described as not intelligent last time?In Tianma Chizuru's narration, he also learned that this Daxu was completely controlled by Misaki.

So, what exactly is this spiritual pressure...

Running closer and closer, Pingzi's heart sank more and more.The purple Reiatsu rose from the gate of Karakura Daiichi High School, gradually enveloping the school from bottom to top.The moment before the school's headspace was completely wrapped, he successfully stepped in and hovered directly above the roof.

Hirako put Kyoka Shuiyue down from her arms and let her stand beside her, feeling Chizuru's spiritual pressure first.But under the wrapping of the virtual turbidity spiritual pressure, it was difficult for him to perceive where Qianzuru was.

Just when he was still trying to perceive, he saw a figure wrapped in the door of the rooftop below was knocked out with a "bang", and then Qianhe stood up from the ground with difficulty holding a knife and rushed towards a man, while the strange The man quickly dodged Qianzuru's attack.Immediately after climbing up to the roof was Kurosaki Natsuri, who was dragging Amma Chizuru's body with one hand and the unconscious Kurosaki Yuko with the other.

Amma Chizuru over there used a knife to resist the attack from behind Fuzong's black cavity, struggling left and right.Pingzi turned his back to Huashuiyue in the mirror: "Go and take care of Xiao Xiali and the others."

After speaking, he kicked off the air and rushed down.

And in the first high school in Karakura Town, when the class bell rang, the students in the school felt a violent vibration.

"Ahh! Is there an earthquake!!"

Before they could react, the outside of the window was covered with a layer of light purple.Of course, Amma Chizuru and Kurosaki Natsuri felt a strong spiritual pressure.Before the two of them could react, the classmates around them fell down one by one, and finally including the teacher fell to the ground, unconscious.

Above their heads, Xu's screams emanated from within.

Xia Li clenched her fists and stared at the black cavity above her head.Suddenly a strong force came from her hand, Tianman Qianhe pulled Xia Li and ran towards the outside of the classroom. When she went out and turned left, she happened to meet a wanderer who also rushed out, but was obviously having difficulty breathing due to lack of spiritual power.

"Qianzuru! Sister!"

Xia Li also reacted at this time, grabbed the wanderer and ran in the corridor.While running, Xia Li turned her head to the obviously uncomfortable Youzi and said, "Hold on Youzi! Let's go out first! Then wait for the gods of death—"

The screaming sound spread throughout the corridor to interrupt her words, and suddenly there was a screaming sound from the stairs below, and a phantom head wearing a bone mask sprang out flexibly from inside.The three of them immediately decided to run up first.

"Xia Li, let's go to the rooftop!"

The huge spiritual pressure made it difficult for Qianhe to breathe, and this was also because she was suppressed by the spiritual pressure in her body.After arriving at the rooftop, she becomes a god of death, and she can find a way to drag it until Mr. Urahara and the others come...

"Huh? Tenma-san, Kurosaki-san?"

While rushing upwards, on the platform at the top corner, in front of the door of the roof, they saw familiar people who seemed to be running upwards. When they saw them, they showed surprise expressions and stretched out their hands to them.

"Teacher Fuzong!"

Youzi showed a surprised expression, and then became scared again: "Run away! Here——"

"Don't move, wanderer!!"

Xia Li stopped the wanderer who wanted to rush up, and stared closely at Fuzong.

This kind of thing happened just after Mr. Urahara asked about the person in front of him.Seeing him standing here intact at this moment, Xia Li looked at Fuzong suspiciously.

"Who the hell are you!" Xia Li asked him with a raised voice.

Fu Zong was a little troubled: "I am your teacher, history teacher Fu Zong! Just now I saw many students suddenly fell to the ground..."

"Get out of the way, Xia Li!"

When Qianhe turned around, she suddenly screamed and threw Xia Li onto the stairs. The three girls lost their center of gravity and rolled into a ball, falling down the stairs.

Xia Li struggled to get up from the ground, looked up and saw a floating head behind where they were standing.If it wasn't for the moment when Qianhe threw her down just now, she or the wanderer would have been bitten on the head.

There was no other way, she turned her back to Xia Li: "Xia Li, hold my body for a while and find a place to hide."

Because of the impact just now, Youzi has completely passed out.Qianhe came out of his soul, drew his sword and rushed towards Fuzong.

"Hmph." The black cavity in front of Fuzong opened, and countless empty heads and masks stretched out, opening their mouths and rushing towards Qianhe.Qianhe didn't choose to chop off with a knife, but held the knife to block those false impacts, and went directly towards Fuzong.

Fu Zong put away his smile and snorted coldly: "Young girl who is overconfident."

"Qianhe be careful behind your back!!!"

It was too late, Fu Zong stepped aside, Qianhe suddenly made a black hole from behind, pointed his head at her back and rushed straight, hitting her back with great force.There was not even time to react, Qianhe was directly hit by the door of the roof, and the door failed to stop the impact, she flew out directly with the door and others.

"Qianhe!!!!" Xia Li screamed.

After scanning Xia Li below, Fu Zong walked up to the rooftop with his hands behind his back.The strength of Tianma Qianhe, who was knocked out, was obviously slowed down a lot. She stood up holding the knife, saw Fu Zong also walked to the roof, and rushed over again holding the knife.

"too slow."

Fukumune dodged Chizuru's attack and jumped backwards.

"Student Tianman, you can't do it if you patronize me."

Immediately rushing over his head, Chizuru, who had lost his strength and was hanging on the railing of the roof, had an angry light in his eyes, and raised his sword again to aim at Fuzong.

"...Why..." Her sword tip was trembling, "Why did you do this! Why did you lie to us!"

Fu Zong shrugged his shoulders: "I never lied to you from the beginning, what I said is the truth."

Whether it's a settlement or anything else, if you're worried about students or something, you're actually just worried about these two little girls running to find the god of death for protection, right?Otherwise, even he is not sure what this bird will do.

Today I finally can't take it anymore, this greedy monster.

Suddenly, a virtual head hit, and Amma Chizuru fell to the ground again.She put her hands on the ground, her face was covered with blood, and she wanted to stand up again.

"Eat her." Fuzong said coldly, turned around and walked towards the door of the roof, while Xia Li, who was holding Qianhe's body and Youzi, saw Qianhe fell to the ground, her eyes widened in fear.

In an instant, behind Fu Zong, the black cavity in front of Tianman Qianhe opened, and countless identical virtual heads rushed towards Qianhe, Xia Li saw everything.

"No!! Chizuru!!!"

She wanted to rush forward, but it was too late——

"Chong!"

There was no separation of Qianhe's body and head as imagined, and Xia Li's footsteps also stopped in place.There was a sound of metal impact, Fu Zong turned around in surprise, and saw a man wearing a long gray windbreaker, half kneeling on the roof; it seemed that because he fell from above, the hem of the long windbreaker was still fluttering slowly. fall.

The man stepped back again and again, pointing at the man in the trench coat with trembling hands: "You... who are you!"

"Ah, is this Teacher Fuzong?"

The knife slashed cleanly, and Xu Xu's heads, big and small, fell to the ground.The man stood up slowly, his short blond hair fluttering in the wind.He held the scabbard in one hand, and with the other hand casually resting the knife on his shoulder, inside was the Karakuza Daiichi High School shirt and tie.

"I am a senior who has graduated from this school."

Mako Hirako said lazily, raised her chin, and grinned.

"I went back to school today, I didn't expect to save the school girls who were bullied~"

The man in front of him erupted a huge Reiatsu in an instant, forming a cyclone around him.He was still smiling, holding the knife with one hand, aiming at Junichiro Fukumune.

"Teacher, please teach me more...."

Hirako Mako narrowed her eyes, and there was a cold killing intent inside.
