Even after hundreds of years, Kuchiki Rukia still remembers the scene when she first met Meru.
At that time, she and her companion Asai Renji were still struggling in Ruukon Street in order to survive, to join the Shino Lingju Academy and get out of Ruukon Street, fighting with those who were also struggling like wild dogs in order to survive. At that time, the other party fell from the sky.
Since she could remember, it was the first time she saw a woman with such a delicate appearance, with blond hair like a waterfall and blue eyes like the blue sky, her temperament was as pure as the clearest water they had ever drank, and even the exquisite kimono was just a foil for her. Behind her were two Reapers dressed in death tyrant costumes, who threatened the people around them to stay away with fierce expressions—no one thought anything was wrong, and such a girl deserved such protection.
She just stopped here, and the dirty and chaotic streets seemed to have the illusion of being purified for a moment.
Everyone was shocked by this battle, and naturally they couldn't fight anymore.
"Is that Miss Rukia?"
The girl walked towards her slowly, and finally stopped just at the edge of her warning distance. After Rukia nodded in acknowledgment, the girl bowed her head and saluted her.
"Our wife, your biological sister has been looking for you for a long time."
From then on, her fate began to change dramatically.
"Lu... Rukia!" When the older woman who looked very similar to her rushed over to hug her with tears in her eyes, Rukia didn't know how to react, "Lukia, Rukia, Lukia Ya!"
Feizhen hugged the stiff Rukia and cried uncontrollably. It has been two years since she married into Kuchiki's family, and she finally found her sister back!
From being taken away from Ruukon Street, to Seireinoen, and then into this mansion of the Kuchiki family, which is said to be the head of the four great nobles, being hugged and cried by someone who claimed to be her sister and was indeed her sister Rukia, who had half of her shoulder wet, has been in a state of confusion so far.
"Ma'am, if you continue to be so excited, you will hurt your body." Finally, someone rescued her, and the blond maid stepped forward to carry her away, "Have a little tea and rest, and let Miss Lucia digest it." After the news, you have a lot to say to her, don't you?"
The over-excited Kuchiki Feizhen recovered his senses and calmed down a lot. He just turned his head and looked at his younger sister's face that was 80% similar to her but more immature. Tears still couldn't help but flow down.
"Lukia, I'm sorry for you... for causing you to suffer for so many years!"
After listening to the story told by her relatives in the drug-stained bedroom, the frail elder sister was taken care of and lay back on the bed to rest because of the previous incident. Rukia was led out and walked on the veranda, Looking at the lush courtyard and the many pavilions and pavilions outside, his expression is complicated.
"I'm very sorry, Miss Lucia, I brought you here suddenly. After working so hard, you must be hungry." The maid walking in front said suddenly.
"No, no, no, no!" Rukia, who was already extremely nervous and confused after hearing about her background, waved her hands in a panic when a poor man fighting for food at the bottom suddenly came to the residence of the noble at the top, " I'm not hungry! Not at all...!"
Gululu.
Her belly betrayed her shamelessly, and the young girl with short hair immediately turned her whole face into a red rag.
The maid in front suddenly laughed.
"Please use."
In the empty restaurant, the maid placed the freshly made Japanese food one by one on Rukia's food table, and she, who was still trying to sit upright, immediately failed, staring at the food and drooling: "These... are you Did you do it?"
"Yes." The maid nodded, and then she held the tray with a worried look, "Because I don't know what taste Miss Lucia has to avoid, so I have to serve the dishes according to the usual dining habits of the gentlemen in the house. If there is anything you can't eat Please..."
"No, no, it's very good, it's already very good!" Lucia was flattered. In the past, she could only grab other people's water and catch fish and fruit by herself in Xudao District. The first time I ate it, how could I dislike it.
After finishing speaking, he grabbed the bowl and chopsticks and started eating quickly. When she picked up a piece of fried salmon and put it in her mouth, Rukia's eyes, which were not too small, suddenly widened a bit, and then... she ate faster.
It wasn't until after all the dishes were emptied, and even the miso soup was emptied, that Rukia burped happily while stroking her swollen belly, did she realize how embarrassing she was for wolfing down just now. Covering her mouth, she cautiously glanced at the maid who had been sitting quietly next to her. Seeing that she maintained a gentle smile from the beginning to the end and did not feel the expected disdain, Rukia relaxed her mood.
"Has it calmed down a lot?"
The food table was removed and the tea was served again. When Rukia was no longer tense, the maid who had been with her asked softly.
"Yes." Lucia nodded, "Thank you for being with me all the time." After thanking the maid, her slender eyebrows could not help but frown again.
"Are you still brooding about your life experience?" the maid asked again.
"No." Lucia shook her head, "I've seen... seen my sister before, and she told me a lot. Xudiao District is the most chaotic area in the entire Liuhun Street. She is so weak and has no self-protection ability , I can’t live with it anymore. I can’t say she was right to leave me behind, but she was right to do that.” It’s a cannibalistic world over there, and the children of the weakest class are like a group of Living like a wild dog, her sister's appearance probably doesn't even have the fighting power of a wild dog. If the two sisters stay together, neither of them will survive.
"Although she left me behind, she never forgot me, and she tried desperately to get me back after she had the ability. I don't resent her." Maybe when she knew her life experience at the beginning, she was I complain, but seeing her sister's weak appearance, how can the kind-hearted Rukia bear it, not to mention that her sister just talked to her for a while and cried a lot, and she had to lie on the bed, what else could she do? to blame.
The blond maid listened quietly, looked at her and smiled gently: "Miss Lucia, like Mrs., is very gentle."
"Huh?" Rukia blushed suddenly after being praised, "No, let's not talk about this. I still don't know what your name is, sister."
"My name is Meilu, and I'm Madam's personal maid. Miss Lucia can just call me Meilu." The maid replied.
"I'll call you Sister Meilu." Lucia couldn't help smiling when she saw that the maid was a few years older than her, and then asked nervously as if she just remembered, "By the way , Renji... It's the red-haired boy who was standing with me before, how is he?"
"That Mr. Asanjing? We didn't bring him to Seireitei." The maid's answer made Rukia look disappointed, "However, both you and he have reached the third level or above in Reiatsu, If the souls before the age of 200 in Liuhun Street can reach the third class, they are all eligible to enroll in the Zhenyang Academy of Spiritual Art. I believe that Miss Lucia will definitely meet him in the school in the future."
Yes! And Maou Academy!
Rukia suddenly remembered that they had made an appointment to go to Mao to be the god of death together at that time, so as to completely get rid of the chaotic life in Rukun Street!
"Miss Lucia, let's take a shower and change clothes after a short rest." Melu's voice interrupted Lucia's thoughts, "The owner and the old man want to see you."
The petite and cute short-haired girl suddenly stiffened again.
...
Rukia temporarily lives in the mansion as the wife and sister of the head of the Kuchiki family, nominally taking care of her frail elder sister, but in fact everyone in the mansion knows it well. However, as the only relative of the mistress, the Kuchiki family is so big that they are not afraid to raise one more person and add a pair of chopsticks.
"It just so happens that school will start after a while, and then I will send her to Mao, and it will be up to her to see what happens."
Rukia has the aptitude to become a god of death, and the senior leaders of the Kuchiki family, from the head to the former head, don't worry much about her future arrangements. As long as she successfully graduates from school and becomes a god of death, she will be eligible to live in Seireitei without relying on them. At that time, looking at Feizhen's face and helping her for a few days, she will be able to live smoothly. Even when she is old enough, it is not difficult to introduce a small noble family to her to marry and be the mistress.
Before that, I really should learn some etiquette and rules first. After all, she is also a relative of the Kuchiki family. Although her sister Kuchiki Hima was born in Ruhun Street, her education, knowledge, talent and temperament are first-class. Well, being a younger sister can't always be a wild girl who robs people everywhere for food like before.
Men's thinking is just like that, but as a real sister, Hinjin is of course more meticulous.
Because she found her younger sister and her younger sister forgave her, Fei Zhen, who has no heart problems, has recovered a lot, and sometimes Yu Yu personally taught her some etiquette and rules, as well as dancing talents and the like.
... To be honest, Rukia is really not interested in talent or anything, but it is undeniable that every action her sister does is very pleasing to the eye.
Just like now, my sister is dancing with a juniper fan. It is said that her dance is quite famous and respected among the nobles, and her gestures are full of sacred beauty. But sometimes she would slip away, and would unconsciously focus on Mei Lu who was sitting in the corner with a musical instrument to accompany her sister. Now, holding the shamisen in her arms, she gently plucks the strings with an ivory plectrum, and the quiet and pure tune spreads out like flowing water. It is an unparalleled enjoyment to cooperate with her sister's dance.
Merle is really amazing. This is not the first time, Rukia thought in her heart.
Before you know it, the registration day for Zhenyang Academy has arrived.
"Lukia, remember to come back often when you arrive at Maou. If you need anything, just tell me, and I'll ask Meilu to send it to you." Knowing that Maou's place includes food and lodging, Feizhen is quite afraid that her sister will not come back. After all, it will take six years to graduate after entering.
"Don't worry, sister, I will take good care of myself. And... there is really no shortage of things." Lukia, who was carrying a huge burden, smiled dryly, while reluctantly accepting "sister's love".
However, Fei Zhen still felt that she was not enough, so she set her eyes on the capable personal maid for help: "Melu, it would be great if you could go to school too. You have given Rukia a lot of pre-class tutoring before, if you If you can go, Rukia will definitely be bullied, after all, she is still so young... "
Lucia, who was not even 1.3 meters tall before entering Mao, exploded on the spot: "I'm not young! I'm in my 90s!"
"Ma'am, those pre-class tutoring is the experience left by the graduates of the Kuchiki family, and it is not my credit." Comforting the little girl with fried hair, Mei Lu explained to Feizhen with a smile, "Although you can learn a lot when you go to Mao Interesting knowledge, but I still want to take care of you by your side, your current body cannot be separated from others. Miss Rukia is not a character who will be bullied, so don't worry too much."
As Rukia who has been in the most chaotic area, she nodded heavily. When she and Renji are together, who dares to bully them: "Sister, I will go home to see you every week during the holidays. Take good care of your body. When the time comes... I want to check if you are fat!"
Fei Zhen was amused by her younger sister's words, but in the end she just stood at the gate and watched her chic back gradually drift away.
