Izawa's death was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for the familiar Grim Reaper. As the Grim Reaper, death is an inevitable word, and everyone knows that everyone's destiny will be like this sooner or later. However, no one would think that they love to laugh and make trouble on weekdays, like to run to the corpse and soul world to tell a bunch of unknown stories to a bunch of little beans, always cause trouble for their own family, the tail of the crane with ultra-low spiritual power, and Bai Ya's own brother will die suddenly.

I always feel that anyone will die, but the kid who smiled so heartlessly will always be in zài, and will always create painless trouble for them. Although that kid is sometimes hateful, in the end, everyone will continue to live happily.

Everyone thinks that the teenager should be like this...... I've been with them all the time.

With the exception of a few Grim Reapers, who were out on a mission, almost all of them attended Izawa's funeral. His body was not burned or buried in the ground, but was preserved by Hakuya in a special way and kept in a house of the Kuchigi family.

Everyone didn't understand what Bai Ya was doing this for. In their eyes, this is nothing more than Bai Ya's indefinite torture of self. The dead are gone forever, even if you leave his body, what can you do? I look at him every day and guard him, but he can't feel anything, can't speak, never smile at you again, coquettish with you, express his thoughts alive, and what he is left behind is just a cage that binds him.

One does not have to live for the dead, but one has to live for the living.

Why can't Bai Ya think about it? Or ...... He was punishing himself, he didn't say his true thoughts to Izawa, and in Ize's last days, he didn't accompany him well, not even a good look.

At that time, in the face of his cold words, what kind of mood did Ize have?

At the funeral, Uno Hanari told Bai Ya all about Izawa's previous physical condition. She hoped that by doing so, she could reduce Bai Ya's pressure on Hibanya Higashi Shirou, but Bai Ya's face seemed to be even darker.

The funeral was short, and Bai Ya didn't say anything during the whole process, just simply nodded to the guests. At that time, Bai Ya's face was a few points colder than before, if it was just indifferent and cold before, he didn't deal with people. Then this time it is an extreme cold that suppresses anger and grief to freezing point. At home and when performing tasks, no one dares to touch Bai Ya's moldy head, even how far away to avoid it. And the members of the Rokuban team are the real tragedy.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

Rotten wood house.

Shiraya sat silently in the room where he and Izawa often stayed together, with a burning brazier at his hand. There was already a layer of ash in the basin, and it was still burning, accompanied by a choking smell, choking the corners of Bai Ya's eyes.

On the side of the basin was a pile of things that Izawa had used, and this was the last pile. Everything related to Izawa has been burned by Bai Ya in the past few days.

There are many easier ways to destroy these things. However, Hakuya chose to do this little by little, watching them slowly consume by the flames, just as Izawa left his world too suddenly, and he wanted to make up for it in another way.

Many people don't understand why Izawa's body is left behind, but he has to burn what he used. Hakuya didn't know, but he felt that if the room he was in was full of Izawa's objects, he would have a fatal feeling of suffocating emptiness. The palpitations of irritability would cause him to lose all his mind, and only the place of his heart was, a dull dull ache.

As the heir of the Kuchigi family, Hakuya has been taught since he was a child to live for the honor of the family, to abide by the rules of the Silent Spirit Court, and to take on the duties of the god of death. He did it, whether it was a family member or an outsider, when it came to Kuchiki Baiya, it was undoubtedly the pride of the Kuchimu family and the Jingling Court.

At that time, he also thought in his heart that he would carry a very heavy burden to live. Even when his father died, he didn't feel how hard it was for him to take on the role of the whole family alone. Anyway, what I've been doing, no matter how tired and hard I am, there will be a day when I get used to it. For him, responsibility has long been melted into his flesh and blood, and has become a part of his life.

But Izawa is different, he doesn't need to bear anything, he just needs to do what he likes and wants to do. So, when he lost his spiritual power and faced death, he chose to let Izawa become independent and get used to living without him. But he was not a good brother, and he didn't know how to make Izawa learn to be independent, so he had to treat him coldly...... The younger brother who never left his protection.

He didn't know until Izawa actually died in front of him...... The person who has always been inseparable and has not been accustomed to being independent...... It's himself. Hakuya gently pressed his hand against the part of his heart, perhaps it was because he deceived himself that he lost Izawa in the end. I can't even find a reason to get rid of my regrets......

He had always thought that rules would be his own principle for dealing with things, but now, for the first time, he felt that the facts were contrary to the judgments set by life.

When everything was burned, the daylight was already submerged in the dark night, the long silence filled the air, the moonlight was gradually hazy, Bai Ya did not turn on the light, and in the dark space, there was only moonlight and lonely shadows.

Hakuya slowly closed his eyes, and the quiet silence captured all his thoughts in an instant, it was a dark world, silent, breathless, almost suffocated with ink. Suddenly, there was a slight light in the dark space, it was a young man's smile, always habitually with the corners of his lips slightly raised, completely without a conscience, and his dark golden eyes would glow with a bright and mischievous light, but they had always hovered in his mind.

"Brother. ”

Bai Zai clenched his fists silently, his cold eyes were cold, and there was a slight soft sparkle at the bottom of his eyes.

Suddenly, something occurred to him. Got up and walked out.

As soon as I stepped out of the door, I found a boy standing in the yard. He kept his head down, his hair completely covering his cheeks, and he couldn't see his expression clearly. He stood quietly by the stone platform, with no intention of meeting his master. If it weren't for the bright moonlight and the clear eyes of Bai Ya, no one would have noticed him.

When Bai Ya saw the boy, his eyes turned cold. The sharp gaze was like a sharp blade, eager to pierce the boy's heart.

"Get out. Bai Ya's eyes were cold.

Hibanya Higashi Shirou already knew the truth of the matter, he had already scolded himself countless times in his heart, and he also knew that coming here again at this moment would only make Bai Ya angry. However, those who did not listen to the command moved here.

"Brother Bai Ya, I just want to stay here for a while, and I'll leave after a while. ”

Hakuya's icy gaze swept at Hibanya Higashi Shirou.

"I'm friends with Izawa, he's... I just wanted to send him. ”

"Not necessarily. Bai Zai said coldly, "The next second he dies, you have nothing to do with him." Killing, man, murder, hand. ”

The latter sentence, Bai Ya said very slowly. He could clearly see that the expression on Hibanya Higashishiro's face became more and more stiff. For some reason, there was a faint feeling of pleasure in my heart.

"White ......."

What else the boy wanted to say was ruthlessly cut off by Shiraya. Cruel to the point of leaving no room for words, in a deep voice to say "You are here, he will not rest in peace." ”

The boy's figure shuddered, and he looked at the ground in a daze, his eyes hollow, as if his soul had been taken away. In the middle of the night, he barely moved his steps, forced himself, and left the courtyard step by step.

Bai Ya's gaze turned to the open space under the stone platform, where the shadows of the trees were swaying, hanging from each other. He walked slowly over and crouched down in one place. Slender fingers reached out to the earth and turned the dirt out without hesitation.

Every time I turn over the soil, it seems like I have exhausted my strength.

[As the younger brother of Brother Shiraya, I won't let anyone look down on me]

[Brother, in your eyes, is Izawa a good-for-nothing fool? Ah, I won't get hurt with the little lion here. 】

The white fingers were scratched by the sharp gravel, and the tiny mouth was squeezed into the dirt, and it hurt hotly.

[Na, although it's shameful not to do what I promised others, but ...... Since it is my brother's wishes, then I will abide by it unconditionally.

[How can there be a reason to be a younger brother and worry about your brother, brother, you are cheating. But it's good to forgive you this time, since I'm so generous, it's okay to wake up. If you keep sleeping, aren't you worried that Izawa will be bullied? Aren't you worried that Izawa will leave you? If Izawa disappears one day, see if you will cry your nose. Hehe. 】

The dirt in his hand seemed to splash into his eyes, and the pain was so hot that he didn't even listen to his fingers.

[Well, it feels like it's getting stricter and stricter.] Oops, I can't breathe. Brother, you said that if I die one day, will you hug me and cry?]

His hands trembled slightly, and the dirt he turned out seemed to weigh a thousand pounds. I silently thought in my heart that I was still close to digging up the seed that was planted at that time.

[Brother, I'm leaving]

But...... If the cherry blossoms don't bloom, won't Izawa come back...... Isn't there no reason for him to wait...

[Of course, because Izawa is the younger brother, the elder brother should let the younger brother and wait for the younger brother.] 】

The hand was beaten, and the damp dirt fell from his hand in pieces.

[In the future, let's see the cherry blossoms together.] 】

Shake off the soil in his hands, and fill them all back with all his might, pressing the soil with his palms, for fear that they will fall apart again.

The small wound on his finger oozed red blood and melted into the earth. But its owner didn't know it, and just carefully patted the land.

After making a good qiē, he quietly looked at the reburied place, and was stunned. Inky strands of hair cover the forehead, leaving only a dark shadow.

Remember the person who made the appointment...... Obviously he is so convinced...... He was the only one waiting under the cherry blossom trees......

Izawa's words haunted him like a nightmare...... It's because I care that I can't forget it...... It is precisely because I can't forget jì...... That's why I feel painful......

Even if he destroys something about Izawa and doesn't look, listen, or speak....... his feelings melt into his flesh and soul...... Nothing can strip it off.

The heart suddenly contracted at this moment, and Bai Ya pressed his heart tightly, and a tingling sensation that he had never felt before gradually spread from his heart, and the cold and sadness that penetrated deep into the bone marrow enveloped his whole body.......

"Tick", a drop of transparent liquid, slid to the ground and disappeared in an instant.

[Brother hasn't said yet, will you cry for me?]

[Actually, you don't have to ask...... Whatever I do, I won't. 】

The author has something to say: The manuscript of the next world was forgotten at home by a certain glass, so he could only write a story outside and send it first.

I was going to write a little healing, but after watching the pearl and the palace for a day, I [support the forehead]
