"Is that so?"
His fingers unconsciously rubbed the cup in front of him a few times, and a smile that Matsumoto Rangiku couldn't understand appeared on Kimura Muyang's face.
"But since it's something related to Ichigo, why did I send you? Rather than you, Rukia, who is more familiar with Ichigo, should be sent."
"Who made me the direct person in charge of the connection between Soul Society and you now? Moreover, Rukia is also here, but she just didn't come to find you. She must have other ideas."
"Don't sound so reluctant. It's hard for you to get this job. I remember that you asked a lot of people to help you make peace! - Okay, I know what you are thinking, go ahead. , I’ll give that fox a few days off.”
"Thank you, you are truly the best boss."
Matsumoto Rangiku jumped up and cheered, and then ran outside with her trembling chest raised, her face full of the excitement of a little woman.
"Ha~~The proud cat and the arrogant fox are really interesting."
Looking through the room, looking at Rangiku who ran over excitedly and pulled Ichimaru Gin out, Kimura Muyang showed a smile on his face.
"Compared to this."
His eyes fell on the cup, looking at the coffee with a layer of ripples spread out. Kimura Muyang's eyes were so deep that it was difficult to understand what emotions were hidden in them.
"What's wrong, what did Rangiku say?"
Suzuki Nan walked behind Kimura Muyang at some point, put his hands on his shoulders and beat him gently, with a soft tone.
"nothing."
Putting his hand on the other person's hand and holding Suzuki Nan's palm, Kimura Muyang's heart gradually calmed down. As long as there is such a person by his side, there is nothing to worry about.
"It doesn't matter what happened this time. It's not a big deal in the first place. As long as the other party doesn't provoke us, don't pay attention to it. Of course, if Soul Society makes a request, we will naturally assist. What I care about more now is Hueco Mundo. Although Stark has gone over to investigate the matter over there, I still feel a little bit uneasy."
Hearing Kimura Muyang's words, Suzuki Nan's body paused slightly. She also knew something about what happened in Hueco Mundo. This time, things were not ordinary.
"Don't worry, you also know Stark's strength. If you just investigate, there will be no problem. Just wait and see. You should be able to know the specific situation in the next two days."
"It can only be the."
Standing up, Kimura Muyang looked at the sky through the window. Is this quiet and peaceful life about to end? It's so hard to finally live such a life, but I really can't bear it.
but
Why is it that whenever I think about enemies appearing, my peaceful life being destroyed, being forced into battles, and fighting against all kinds of enemies I don’t understand at all, my body can’t help but tremble, deep in my heart? There will be a strong desire!
"As expected, you are still a person who likes to fight!"
Walking to Kimura Muyang, leaning into his arms and hugging his body, Suzuki Nan's voice was very soft.
"Although you enjoy a quiet and peaceful life, deep down in your bones, you still yearn for fighting. You like the crisp sound of swords clashing, and the excitement of the blade passing by. There is the satisfaction of sending your own blade into the enemy's body."
"Would it be uncomfortable for you to get along with me like this? I know that you don't like fighting."
"No, this kind of you is the most real you in my heart, and it is also the you I like the most. I love to see you wielding your Zanpakutō to kill the enemy."
The two of them stood in front of the window hugging each other, quietly watching the sun gradually setting on the horizon, and their hearts were filled with peace.
"Someone was attacked."
Suzuki Nan, who was leaning in Kimura Muyang's arms, suddenly said.
"Um."
"It's Ichigo's companion, the Quincy named Uryu Ishida."
"Um."
After a pause, Kimura Muyang continued:
"It must have been Ginjo Kugo who took action, but what does this have to do with us? As long as they don't offend us, let them do whatever they want. I still want to enjoy a quiet life for a few more days. Time is running out. "
"Um."
Burying his head into Kimura Muyang's chest again, Suzuki Nan slowly closed his eyes.
Through some recent events, both of them felt a sense of oppression brought by the storm. An unprecedented battle was about to break out. It was a battle more intense than the previous one, and no one could avoid it. , so, at least before the battle begins, enjoy this precious peace for the last time.
boom-
Putting the things in her hands on the table hard, Hiyori threw her body on the sofa.
"Well?"
His eyes popped out of the comic book, and he glanced at Hiyori beside him, but without saying anything, Luo Wu buried his head again, and then a burst of laughter burst out from his mouth.
"snort!!!"
Seeing Luo Wu's reaction, Hiyori snorted heavily.
"Um, what's wrong with you, Hiyori?"
Seeing Hiyori's reaction, Ariakida Hakugen, who was sitting on the side, suddenly spoke, his tone as gentle as ever.
"There's nothing wrong with my health! Damn it, Mako and those guys actually went back to Soul Society to become captains, bastards!"
"That's because Soul Society is very weak right now, and someone needs to fill the vacant captain position."
"Isn't there a captain of the third division here who defected before? Why didn't you ask that fox-like guy to go back and continue to be the captain?"
"Hiyori, didn't you say it yourself? He is the captain who defected before. Although he has his own reasons, Soul Society will not accept him returning as captain."
"What's the reason? Isn't it just for a big-breasted woman? Damn it, why can that guy not work? And the two of you, don't even do anything. Damn it!!"
"This is what you want to say most, Hiyori."
Luo Wu revealed his head from the comic book and complained lightly.
"That's what happened! By the way, Luo Wu, why don't you go back to Soul Society? Why do you have to hang around here and do nothing?"
"Because there is no Shōnen Jump in Soul Society, I won't be able to live without comic books now."
After explaining lightly, Luo Wu buried his head in the comic book again, and then burst into bursts of laughter again.
"So why didn't Ross stay? In this case, we can go out and play for a while. At least we can boost business. It's better than this bastard."
Picking up his things from the table, Hiyori walked to the front hall with a dissatisfied look on his face. Although he complained, the work to be done still had to be done. Thinking of the rules listed by Kimura Muyang, Hiyori gritted her teeth.
"That bald guy Kimura actually made those demands, you bastard!"

Suddenly stopping, Ichimaru Gin's eyes turned to the distance. He felt a burst of spiritual pressure. That direction was Kurosaki Ichigo's home.
"What's wrong, Silver?"
After his body was pulled, Matsumoto Rangiku turned his head strangely and looked at the silver-haired man standing still, with a trace of doubt on his face.
"No, it's okay. By the way, Rangiku, didn't you say you wanted to check out the clothes before? This is the shopping street."
"Ah, by the way! I remember I saw a very good store here when I came here last time. I liked the clothes in it very much. It seems to be not far ahead. Let's go there quickly. Come on, silver!"
"Yes Yes!"
With his arm pulled, Ichimaru Gin shuffled behind Matsumoto Rangiku. He took one last look at the direction where he felt the abnormality before, then withdrew his eyes and quickly followed Matsumoto Rangiku. He looked at the cheering woman in front of him with a look on his face. Showed a happy smile.
Although in the end, I couldn't get back what Rangiku had taken away, but at least I could always look at Rangiku's smiling face, and that was enough.

empty seat general hospital
"Ishida, what is going on?"
Looking at Uryu Ishida lying on the hospital bed, Ichigo Kurosaki asked nervously.
"It has nothing to do with you"
Ishida Uryu's voice came from behind the curtain. Although he was very touched by Kurosaki Ichigo's concern, he knew that Kurosaki Ichigo, who had now lost his power, was really not suitable to get involved in these things.
"How could it be irrelevant! You are already injured. If you can't handle it by yourself, of course we should all find a solution together! Just tell me!!"
Hearing Ishida Uryū's rejection, Kurosaki Ichigo waved his fist and said excitedly that although he himself had lost his power now, he could not watch his companions being injured and do nothing.
"The sharing of intelligence is very important. Do you want to let down the kindness of your companions?"
"shut up!!"
"Oh, what a pity. If your voice went higher than 5 Hz, the wound would open again."
Hearing his son roaring at him, Ishida Ryusei was not annoyed at all. Instead, he leaned against the wall and laughed.
"Ishida."
"Sorry, Inoue, I really have nothing to say now. You should go back first."
".Hmm. Kurosaki"
"Huh? Oh. It's so late, you're very sleepy, right? I'll take you back."
After coming back to his senses and looking at Inoue Orihime beside him, Kurosaki Ichigo said.
"Huh? Isn't this true?!?"
Hearing Kurosaki Ichigo's invitation, Inoue Orihime suddenly fell into a violent feeling of happiness, and said hurriedly, a blush rising on her face.
"I'll drive her back. You should go back early. If it's too late and she's still hanging around outside, your father will be verbose again."
Looking at Ishida Ryusei holding down Inoue Orihime's shoulders, a strange color flashed in Kurosaki Ichigo's eyes, and then he hid it.
"I understand, thank you."
After bowing deeply to Ishida Ryuuzhen, Kurosaki Ichigo turned and left Ishida Uryuu's ward and ran outside quickly.
