Chapter 91: Twists and turns
"Haiyan, is this the April imp you are talking about?"
Zhiba, who appeared in front of Qinghe, looked at him with his eyes up and down, left and right.
"It's a joke..."
Qinghe, who has a black line, no longer has any doubts about the identity of Zhibo who is about to stick to him.
After taking two steps back without a trace, Qinghe opened his mouth to correct his call: "Uncle Yixin, I am Izumi Qinghe... Not some April imp. ”
"Hmph, isn't 'Qinghe' April?" Zhibo snorted coldly.
"And there is such a thing as Mao Yue..."The depression in Qinghe's heart.
"Hahahaha... Haiyan, isn't this just a little ghost who loves more seriously? Xiaodu, there should be extra breakfast, right? ”
After rubbing Kiyowa's head, Zhibo sat down next to Kiyowa.
"Yes, uncle, please wait." Shibodu, who smiled sweetly, then began to help him serve the meal.
"What's going on, uncle?"
didn't dwell too much on Qinghe's name, and the expression on Zhibo Haiyan's face was a little solemn: their family was deprived of their aristocratic status and driven out of the Jingling Court, but the separation did not... It's just that he has been demoted from the original superior to the middle noble.
"Thank you, Xiaodu." Zhibo, who took the breakfast, had a helpless expression on his face: "Don't be so nervous, it has nothing to do with Zhibo's family... It was the 27th generation of the Kuchigi family, and he died in the middle of the night. ”
"Shhhh You mean the vice-captain of the Rokuban team?! ”
Today's breakfast was really full of twists and turns... The death of such a big man would affect the entire Jingling Court.
"You also know that the master of the Kuchiki family of this generation is just like your captain of the floating bamboo... Although he is very talented, he was born with a poor body, but he was still promoted to vice captain by Rotten Wood Silver Bell. ”
Speaking of this, Zhibo was a little embarrassed... That's the price you have to pay to be a nobleman: even if you're not fit to fight, you have to stand up for the sake of your family's honor and prestige... Even if it comes at the cost of death.
"The Kuchigi family is a model for all the gods of death... This realization is really admirable. An admiring expression appeared on Shiba Haiyan's face... It's not just lip service.
Qinghe and Zhibo, who were in the audience, didn't say a word... Because this is a conversation between two heads of the family.
"It seems that Kuchigi Hakuya is going to inherit the position of head of the family..."
Qinghe's expression was calm when he thought like this: this kind of thing can't affect him...
"This time, the old man asked me to come so that you and Xiaodu went to the funeral... By the way, let this April imp go with you as a servant. With his words, Shiba slapped Kiyowa in the face at the speed of light.
"Uncle Yixin, why do you want to go to Qinghe..."
It's about Qinghe, and Zhibo has to speak... It is normal for Haiyan to represent the Shiba family: because the existence of the split family is to maintain the clan and ensure the continuation of the Shiba family.
The only difference is... The Zhiba clan holds something that is very important to the entire Jingling Court, and the division has to be maintained: the relationship between the two is one with both prosperity and loss.
"The old man's thoughts... You won't say it to me, a son who doesn't want to be a god of death. Thanks to Haiyan you, I can refuse. Shiba has no sense of shame in evading responsibility.
"Uncle, grandfather's body..."
"Sunset... That's why I haven't been the captain of the Juban team, just to accompany the old man through this last stretch of the road. ”
"Qinghe, I've wronged you."
For this twilight old man's request, Shiba Haiyan has no choice... can only obey unconditionally: after all, the lives of him, the empty crane, and the rock vulture were saved by the old man's best efforts back then.
"Brother Haiyan, I know... I still yearn for being able to go to the Jingling Court to have a look. It doesn't matter in what capacity you go. ”
Qinghe is not angry about the identity of "servant"... He understands his current status: only the Shiba family treats him as a relative.
To outsiders... He's just a commoner with no power, no power, no strength: invited to the funeral of the Kuchiki family?
For the high-ranking nobles, it is simply impossible: unless he is now the vice-captain of the thirteenth team of the court, he can barely reach the level of the nobleman's status, or the qualification for equal dialogue.
"Looks like I'm going to take back what I said... April imp, you are very sensible. ”
For Qinghe, who "doesn't cry or make trouble", Zhibo didn't skimp on his praise.
"Call me Qinghe! Imp..."
"Well, this is a nickname, so you can accept it with a smile... This is your court card. ”
Qinghe, who was attracted by the white court certificate, didn't bother to entangle it and took the court card... I saw the back printed with the "Falling Sky Collapse Vortex Pattern" of the Zhibo family, and when I turned to the front, I only saw the words "Temporary Court Certificate".
"This thing has a three-month effect, which is a small compensation. It's just..."
"Don't worry, uncle, I know what to do and what not to do."
Although I wondered why I piggybacked... But Qinghe didn't have a good way: he could only cover up the water with soldiers.
"Uncle has anything else to do for a while? If not, then take Qinghe around the Jingling Court. ”
Shiba Haiyan, who opened his mouth, began to arrange Kiyowa's whereabouts... The 13th team of the Guardian Court, except for the fourth medical team, is not allowed to enter any non-team members.
"No problem... The funeral of the Kuchigi family will be at 7 o'clock, so remember to arrange the time. Kid, hurry up and finish eating, remember to change into black socks and bring a slasher..."
“…”
Qinghe, who looked confused, nodded... He had a bad feeling that there would be nothing empty in the Silent Spirit Court.
Shiba single-minded words voiceover... It's that someone may find fault, or he still has things that he hasn't said all.
"Qinghe, remember not to be too far away from Uncle Yixin, tell him what he wants, don't run around alone, don't stare at the nobles, and don't..."
Zhibodu's nagging words ended with Zhibo Haiyan holding her palm: "Xiaodu, Qinghe is very sensible, you can rest assured." ”
"Sister Du, don't worry, I will never leave Uncle Yixin."
Zhibo Yixin, who was listening, had a thoughtful expression on his face: this level of concern is no longer just the degree of boarding here... It's about really being part of the family.
"Time is running out, hurry up and end breakfast... Today we can go to the Silent Soul Court together. ”
With Zhiba Haiyan's reminder, several people began to speed up their meals...
Qinghe, who was ready in the room, put the slashing knife on his back, and the magic bottle thought about it and put it on the table: before he had the strength to protect the magic bottle, Qinghe naturally had to be more cautious.
"The person who split the family, why did he name you to go to the Kuchimu family?"
Xiao Qing's words made Qinghe shake his head slightly: "I don't know... Maybe you want to meet me as a genius? ”
"Hmph... I see that your trip to the Silent Soul Court has been an eventful one. ”
"At least it won't be life-threatening... It also happened to meet the people and scenery of the Jingling Court. ”
Squeak-Qinghe, who opened the door, spoke again: "Remember to ask the empty crane to help me replenish the magic bottle, she will probably come back at noon... If you can't come back, you'll have dry food. ”
