Chapter 206: Temptation
"As for Ichigo, it would be nice not to tell him. www.biquge.infoBesides, we don't plan to fight his neighbor, he won't stop us at all."
As for the obstacles that Ichigo might have in the way of Koiji's mention, Rukia smiled confidently after a moment of thought. For some tentative investigations, Ichigo, who is an afterthought, is unlikely to be aware of it at all.
"So, let's talk about the plan. Rukia, I'm sure you've already made a plan, or you wouldn't have mentioned it to me rashly."
Rukia suddenly brings up many of Gabriel's weirdness to Koiji, and naturally it is not for Koiji to analyze. Rukia said so much, it was obvious that she was already planning to let Koiji go with her to carry out the plan, and Koiji didn't plan to think about anything more, just let Rukia say the plan first, and then make additions.
"Again, like last time, we tried to extract some useful information by talking to him. Judging from the last time I came into contact with him, Ichigo's neighbor was a good talker, and whenever he found a little interesting topic, he would talk to us endlessly. And what we have to do is try to get him to say why he has been stuck at home these days. Of course, it is unlikely that he will say it directly, and we should also pay attention to whether there are any changes in his family."
Rukia now seems to be a detective, about to go to the suspect's home to search for clues, not just trying to extract useful information from the words. According to Rukia, it seems that she even has the decoration of Gabriel's belongings last time in her mind, and she will notice the slightest change.
Soon, Rukia and Koiji knocked on the door of Gabriel's house under the pretext of going for a walk. Although Gabriel's appearance has not changed significantly from the last time they met, his spirit is very different. Not only is his spirit a little sluggish, but he is not as enthusiastic about Rukia and Koiji's visit as he was last time. It's not just not enthusiastic, it's a little more indifferent, and the feeling of rejecting people thousands of miles away.
"Koiji, Rukia, you two haven't come to my house for a long time to play, why did you suddenly remember to come to me today?"
It's not like last time, and he took the initiative to pour tea for Koiji and Rukia. This time, Gabriel didn't plan to prepare anything for them, and after welcoming them into the house, he sat down directly and tiredly, it was obvious that he did not welcome the arrival of Rukia and Koiji today.
"The reason why I have come to visit today is because I have noticed that Mr. Gabriel, who seems to have been at home these days. Because you have a very close relationship with Ichigo, as Ichigo's friends, we are also very concerned about your living situation, have you been in any trouble lately?"
The reason why Rukia confessed her intention as soon as she came up was because whenever Rukia observed Gabriel, she had a feeling that her gaze was noticed by the other party. In order not to make the other party more vigilant, Rukia decided to directly confess her previous concerns.
"Ichigo, that kid didn't notice anything unusual about me, why did you two friends who "temporarily" live in his house suddenly care about me as a neighbor? Or maybe you two really think of yourself as the masters of Ichigo's house after living in Ichigo's house for a long time?"
At this time, Gabriel was like two people in the past, and in the past, Gabriel treated Rukia and Koiji as friends of Ichigo, so they were often amiable. However, not only did they not welcome their arrival today, but he also directly pointed out that they had been in Ichigo's house for too long.
"We've been in Ichigo's house for a long time, so it's not your turn to talk about it!, and besides, we stayed at Ichigo's house because we had a last resort, do you think the two of us would like to?"
When Koiji heard that the other party regarded the two of them as people who relied on Ichigo's family, he couldn't continue to be silent, and defended himself and Rukia with anger on his face. As for the reason why he said that he had no choice but to fight to the death with the Grim Reapers. As long as Koiji dares to move away from Ichigo with Rukia, it is estimated that soon, the Corpse Soul Realm will seize the opportunity to take revenge on Koiji and Rukia. So, just for the sake of safety, Koiji and Rukia will have to live in Ichigo's house for at least a few more years, and only after the hatred has been diluted by time will Koiji and Rukia move out. Of course, this specific reason will not be confided in this neighbor.
"Koiji, calm down, in the eyes of others, we do look like we're in Ichigo's house. But, Mr. Gabriel, why do you look so unpleasant to us to-day, is it because of our sudden visit that some of your preparations cannot be carried out at home?"
Rukia saw that Koiji was suddenly angry by the other party, and Rukia reluctantly patted Koiji's shoulder hard, signaling that she would leave it to her next. Subsequently, Rukia was no longer polite, as if she was tempting, guessing that the other party had some ulterior secrets.
"Rukia, you have too much imagination, I have some secret secrets, if you don't believe it, you can search for it. After all, I haven't seen the suffering between Ichigo and you firsthand, and I don't know how deep your friendship is. Given Ichigo's desperate style as a partner, I was worried that he would be taken advantage of by you for nothing, so that's why I said those words. After all, in my eyes, you haven't done anything for Ichigo, but you've just been living in Ichigo's house as a matter of course!"
Gabriel stood up as he flashed the way for Rukia and Koiji, and held out his hand for them to inspect, like a servant, begging for his master's entry. Naturally, Rukia and Koiji wouldn't go in and search, and it was obvious that the other party was sarcastic about their meddling.
"Mr. Gabriel, since everything is going well for you here, then we don't have to worry about it, just say goodbye! Don't worry, we will move out of Ichigo's house as soon as possible, and you won't have to worry about this matter either!"
Although Rukia and Koiji left helplessly as if they had found nothing, but when they were about to leave, Rukia's eyes never left, and at the dinner table not far away, several cups of coffee were poured at the same time, until Rukia and Koiji left, the heat that came out of it did not seem to dissipate.
