"Death is such a strange creature!"
Lying on the table with a drink in her hand, Lilynit looked at the noisy Hiyori and Makoko Hiroko and said.
"What's wrong?"
Hearing Lilynit's sigh, Kunan Bai, who was lying on the other side in the same posture, blinked and asked.
"Obviously, if you invite them in the name of Kimura, Kurosaki Ichigo will definitely agree to join. Why do you have to invite them in the name of the 'Masked Legion'?"
"Hey, it seems that's what you said, - why, little Riri?"
After listening to Lilynit's words, Kunanbai tilted his head and thought for a long time, then turned his attention to Hiyori who was beating Mako to the side.
"What?"
"I said why don't we invite Kurosaki Ichigo in Kimura's name? In that case, he will definitely not refuse."
Hearing Kunan Bai's words, Hiyori, who was teaching Hirako Makoto, suddenly stopped, with a strange expression on his face.
"Idiot, how can it be the same!"
"What's wrong?"
"What we want to invite are our companions, our 'Masked Legion' companions."
"But isn't Kimura also our companion?"
"It's different. Kimura is just our companion, but not our kind."
"Hey, Hiyori!"
Hearing Hiyori's words, Hirako Mako shouted in a low voice, her face becoming a little ugly.
"What's wrong? Don't you think so too! I know Kimura is our good partner, and we have indeed been indebted to his care over the years, but in the end Kimura is not our kind, isn't he?"
After hearing Hiyori's words, everyone in the room was silent. They didn't know how to answer Hiyori's question. This was indeed a difficult question to answer. Although Kimura Muyang was indeed their good friend, However, when Mako Hirako invited Ichigo Kurosaki to join, he insisted on using the name "Masked Legion", which may not be without this consideration.
"We who have been transformed into the Hollow, who have abandoned our identity as the God of Death. Even though our friends are still around us now, we will never be the same as before. We are the 'Mask Group', those who have stepped into the realm of Hollow from the God of Death. We Nothing."
The room suddenly became quiet, and only Hiyori's deep voice sounded in the room.
Hirako Mako was sitting on the side with his eyes lowered, not knowing what he was thinking; Luo Wu was holding his comic book in his hand, but his eyes were not sure where it was; Lisa also looked absent-minded, and the A book in her hand was also She couldn't get excited; Kensai held a cloth in his hand and wiped his Zanpakuto unconsciously; Ross's fingers were tapping unconsciously; Hachi sat there with his hands folded, silent; Even Ku Nanbai stopped swaying his legs.
In the silent room, a depressing atmosphere gradually rose, making everyone inside feel unspeakably awkward, but no one broke the strange atmosphere first.
"Hey, what's wrong? What happened? Why doesn't anyone say anything?"
A lazy voice suddenly sounded, breaking the weird atmosphere in the room.
Brush brush brush~~~
The moment the sound fell, everyone in the room turned their attention to Stark, who appeared in the room with sleepy eyes.
"What's wrong?"
Suddenly being targeted by the eyes of a dozen people, Stark suddenly felt a pressure. Even he was a little at a loss when faced with such a strange situation. The hand that was rubbing his hair couldn't help but stop. When he came down, the smile on his face seemed a bit stiff. After hesitating for a moment, Stark spoke again with a hesitant tone.
"No, it's nothing!"
Hearing Stark's voice, Hiyori turned her head and left Stark with the back of her head. Obviously she didn't want to answer Stark's question. Although they had lived together for so many years, she still had a crush on Stark. She was very unhappy. His lazy look was just like Kisuke's, making her feel uncomfortable just looking at him!
"Although I don't know what's going on, I always feel as if something big has happened."
He was noncommittal about Hiyori's attitude. After so many years, Stark had long been accustomed to Hiyori's attitude towards him. He rubbed his slightly messy hair and made it even more messy. Stark He walked to the bar, took out the wine from the cabinet below, poured himself a glass, took a sip, and let out a comfortable groan.
Leaning on the bar, Stark supported his chin with one hand and swung the wine glass in his other hand, looking calm.
"So, can you tell me what happened? After all, we have lived together for so many years and we have become like each other's family. Although our identities are different, I don't think this will affect our relationship. .”
"family!?"
Hearing these two words uttered from Stark's mouth, everyone in the room was shocked. For them, this is such an unreachable word!
Not to mention Stark and the others, they were born in Hueco Mundo and never knew what family was. In the cruel environment of Hueco Mundo, there was only killing and death. Stark and the others are like this, and Hirako Mako and the others are no less generous. Most of them were born in Rukongai and have never experienced the beauty of family ties. 'Family' is a word that can only be seen in books, and now Stark K said they were family! !
"Family?"
These two words were whispered in the mouth, and everyone couldn't help but become obsessed for a moment. Although there was no verbal communication, just savoring these two words carefully was enough to fill their hearts with warmth.
"Tch, who is family with this bald man like Mako?"
Hiyori looked at Hirako Mako, suddenly jumped down from her stool, uttered a disdainful word in her mouth, then turned around and walked towards the backyard, but her tone was not at all imposing, and there was a hint of disdain on her face. Although the blush was not very obvious, everyone present could see it clearly.
Bang! !
After entering the backyard, Hiyori did not forget to close the door with a loud noise.
"Hey, Xiao Riri's face seemed to have turned red just now."
Jiunabai put a finger in his mouth, looked at the shaking back door, suddenly tilted his head, blinked his big eyes and said playfully.
"Hahahaha~~~~"
Just after Jiu Nanbai's voice fell, a burst of violent laughter suddenly erupted in the room. Looking at everyone sitting together, smiling and laughing, the corners of everyone's eyes suddenly became wet, and they looked at their companions around them. , a feeling stronger than before slowly brewed in his chest.
"Those idiots, who are family members to them?"
Leaning against the door, listening to bursts of laughter coming from inside the room, feeling the joy in everyone's laughter, Hiyori bit her lip and said, but her eyes became a little red, and her eyes seemed Something crystal clear is shining.
——————————
"Haqiu!"
"What's wrong, Mr. Kimura? You seem to have a cold. Do you want me to take a look at it for you?"
"Um, no need, Captain Unohana, I'm fine. You should just take a look at Kenpachi's injuries."
After hearing Unohana Retsu's words, Kimura Muyang quickly waved his hands. He didn't want to have Unohana Retsu examine his body for no reason, just in case her 'meat-sucking' swallowed him. Thinking of this, Kimura Muyang Yang suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach.
"Captain Zaraki's injury doesn't matter anymore. There are no fatal wounds on his body. It's just that he is still unconscious because of the excessive consumption of the fierce battle. - Mr. Kimura, on the other hand, it really doesn't matter to you. I see you Your face looks a bit ugly, do you want me to treat you?"
"No more!"
Hearing Unohana Retsu talking about this terrible thing again, Kimura Muyang quickly refused. However, the uglier expression on his face made the look of concern on Unohana Retsu's face more intense, which made Kimura Muyang feel a little sad. Shocked, he was really afraid that Unohana Retsu would suddenly release his Zanpakutō and swallow him in one gulp.
"Since there is no problem with Kenpachi's injury, I will leave first, and I will come to see him after he wakes up. Goodbye, Captain Unohana, thank you."
After saying that, Kimura Muyang turned around and left quickly. The sense of oppression given to him by Uozhihua Lie was too strong. He was really a little afraid of this evil sister, whether it was before or now, or even... future.
"Oh, he ran so fast, as if he was something scary."
Looking at the back of Kimura Muyang running away in embarrassment, Unohana Lie covered his mouth and laughed softly, with a trademark kind smile on his face, which made people feel good about him, but only familiar people can Feel the horror behind her smile.
"but."
Turning his eyes to Zaraki Kenpachi on the bed, the smile on Unohana Retsu's face faded away, instead showing concern and thought.
"This is the fourth time he has sent Zaraki Kenpachi to the fourth division. Each time he fainted after fighting to the limit. However, there are not many scars on Captain Zaraki's body. Even if there are any, they are the kind that can be An injury that recovered in a short period of time.”
But what worries Unohana Retsu more is the growth of Kenpachi Zaraki's strength. Regarding the growth of Kenpachi Zaraki's strength, Unohana Retsu is very clear about it. Every time he comes back from life and death, Kenpachi Zaraki His strength will be greatly improved, which is when he gradually unlocks his own power in life and death battles.
The figure of a young boy full of wildness flashed in his mind, and Uozhihua Retsu couldn't help but feel a ripple in his heart.
I really hope you can regain your strength, the only man who can please me!
