Chapter 20: Brothers, Rukia,

As soon as Ichigo got downstairs, he saw three people who were busy packing up - Ai, Natsuri, and Yuko.

Scratching his head helplessly, Ichigo wanted to come forward to help, but he didn't know how to intervene. After all, the family will be like this, but it has its own large part of the "credit"! Although, Rukia helped herself "cover up" the past, but she can't really act like she doesn't know anything, right?!

"I say! If you don't come to help, why are you still standing in the way here?! ”

"Huh?" Ichigo came back to his senses and found that his unscrupulous brother was standing in front of him with his hands crossed on his hips, and a chilling light seemed to flash in his eyes.

"Am I not here to help?" Ichigo turned his head a little weakly, avoiding his loving gaze.

"Then you don't have to, hurry up and eat your breakfast! Don't you have another class today? Orihime has already set off! "Love to hold your hands on your chest, it's very unlucky." And if you come to help, I'm afraid I'll help more and more! ”

"Hey! You ......" Without waiting for Ichigo to retort, Ai casually shoved something into Ichigo's hand. "Let's go! Otherwise, you'll be late! ”

"Uh......" Ichigo looked at the thing in his hand, it was a ...... Bento?! "Hey! What are you doing? ”

Ichigo was suddenly pushed by Ai and stumbled, and fell towards the door, but fortunately, Ichigo's body reacted well enough and didn't fall directly.

"Huh? Do? Love still said with an unhappy face: "Isn't this obvious? I'm going to get you out! ”

"Did you send it like that?" Ichigo's forehead was clearly visible with green muscles jumping, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Do you want me to thank you so much?!" ”

"Everyone is a brother, you don't have to be polite with me!" Love raised his head and chest, revealing a face of "Be grateful to Dade!" Unconsciously said something that would make Ichigo's lungs explode.

"You guy......" Ichigo clenched his fists when he was about to get close to his own "kawaii" brother.

"Bang!"

Love is directly closed.

“……”

Ichigo looked at the closed door alone, and it happened that a gust of wind blew and rolled up a few fallen leaves, so it was a desolate scene!

"Just ...... Little love him......"

"Be careful on the road! Brother! "That's what Love said when he just closed the door. At that moment, his eyes were unprecedentedly sharp!

"Hmph... Got it! Ichigo turned away in relief.

"Xiao Ai, it doesn't matter if you don't want to say it now, when you want to say it, you can say it again!"

The morning after becoming the Grim Reaper, Ichigo's life as an ordinary person begins again.

――――――――――――

Kuza No. 1 High School, 3 classes a year.

"Ichigo, I heard that your house was blown up by a gas pipe last night?" In the classroom, Keigo Asano and a few of Ichigo's better classmates gathered around Ichigo's desk...

"Well, even if it's..."Leaning back in his chair, Ichigo replied absentmindedly, remembering the events of last night, and still dreaming like ...... "Death?"

"Have you already packed it up?" Kojima looked at the text message in the phone and asked temporarily.

Ichigo sighed and said, "It's not that easy to clean up, is it..."

"Want to help?" Chadu asked in a deep voice, "Uh, no need...", if you are asked to go, it is better to help clean up, but it is better to demolish it......

While everyone was chatting highly, "Hello everyone, a new student has joined the class today." Let's get along well in the future. The young female teacher, who had a very energetic face, walked into the classroom and said loudly, but the other people in the classroom were just concentrating on their own things, and no one responded to the female teacher's words.

"Tsk! It's really a bunch of uncute imps, forget it, you come in. The classroom door was pushed open: "Introduce yourself first." Yue Zhi Mei said loudly.

"Hello everyone, I'm the first student to turn around, and my name is Rukia Kuchigi. Please advise me in the future! Rukia's delicate voice rang out.

"Bang", everyone looked in the direction where the voice came from, only to see Ichigo slamming his head on the desk, and then Ichigo raised his head to look at Rukia, only to see Rukia wearing an ordinary student's school uniform, looking at Ichigo with a smile on her face, Ichigo glanced at her, and his face was uncertain. "What did she want to do here?!"

"Alright, you can sit there first." Kochichi pointed to the empty space next to Ichigo, where there were two positions apart.

Rukia nodded and said, "Yes, teacher." Rukia then smiled meaningfully at Ichigo, and then sat down in that position.

"Okay, let's get to class then."

――――――――――――

"Jingle bell~" The bell for the lunch break rang.

"Ah, it's finally time for a bento." Orihime stretched her waist and said with a happy face.

"I don't know, what to look forward to." Long Gui looked at Orihime and asked cautiously, "Orihime, what did you bring with you at noon?" ”

"It's ramen." Orihime said excitedly, "I specially added the ramen with sea bream!" Well...... There's also wasabi and honey added to it! ”

"Sea bream ramen!" Long Gui muttered, and then his mind flashed ramen with sea bream, wasabi, and honey, and there were convulsions in his stomach. Weakly complained in his heart: "This child's taste ...... It's still so unique! ”

Just like the original book, Arisawa Ryugui and Orihime are good friends, but, because Orihime now lives in Kurosaki's house, so in normal times, Ryugui rarely goes to play with Orihime. And at school, the relationship between the two is better than in the original book.

While Inoue Orihime and Ryuki Arisawa were discussing the lunch box, Ichigo walked up to Rukia.

"Rukia....classmate." Ichigo looked at Rukia in school uniform, his head twitched for a while, and he slowly spoke, "Don't you have anything to say...... Want to say it? ”

"Huh? Do you know each other? Ichigo. Long Gui, who was attracted by the movement here, asked suspiciously.

"No, no, no, this is just the first time we've met." Rukia said with a hint of coquettishness in her voice, "Right, Ichigo...... Schoolmate. ”

Ichigo listened to Rukia's pretentious voice and got goosebumps all over his body.

I sighed a little helplessly. The splitter grabbed Rukia's hand, "Is that so?" Then Rukia-san, who met for the first time, I will invite you to a drink as an apology for my 'rudeness' to you just now! As he spoke, without waiting for Rukia to react, he pulled Rukia out of the classroom in a bit of a rage.

――――――――――――

"Kurosaki-san, he's lying, right? This look, no matter how you look at it...... It's not like meeting for the first time! Orihime looked at the figures of Ichigo and Rukia leaving, and said with some hesitation.

"Huh? That's right! Ichigo and the transfer student Rukia must have known each other. And in this way, there seem to be some things that can't be said between the two of them. Long Gui spoke, and then said with a slight pause: "Moy, let's go, Orihime, let's find a place to eat lunch." ”

"Yes." Orihime nodded in response and followed behind Long Gui. However, Long Gui, who was walking in front, didn't see Orihime's eyes...... Some are erratic.

――――――――――――

"Tell me, why are you the way you are?" Ichigo hesitated for a moment, barely trying to find the right word in his head.

"Ordinary people can see you!" Ichigo dragged Rukia to the back of the classroom, where students and teachers were eating lunch boxes in the classroom, office, or rooftop. In other words, no one will come to this place now, and you don't have to worry about being overheard. "Also, what are you doing at school?"

"I don't know! This body I have now is called the Righteous Skeleton. Rukia stood up...... Ahem, the chest that has nothing, said with a sense of superiority. "The righteous remains are used urgently**, when we are seriously injured and unable to return to the corpse soul realm, the god of death will put on the righteous remains, and then wait for the spiritual pressure to recover in the righteous remains." Rukia glanced at Ichigo with disdain, paused, and continued: "Of course, I'm in a different situation now, last night, when I turned you into a god of death, I originally planned to only input half of the spiritual pressure for you and me, but you took away all my power, and even made me unable to maintain the appearance of the god of death, becoming like an ordinary soul, so I will temporarily hide in this righteous corpse now, waiting for the strength to recover." ”

"I see, righteous corpse? Interesting stuff too! Ichigo nodded, indicating that he understood. As for Rukia's disdainful look and her inexplicable sense of superiority, just ignore it.

"Wait, you need to recover the spiritual pressure in this so-called righteous corpse, so what if there is a void in the city again?" Ichigo asked suddenly.

"If there is another void, can't it be destroyed again?" Rukia said casually.

"Huh? Don't you need to restore spiritual pressure? How can you still destroy the void? Ichigo looked at Rukia suspiciously.

A sly smile appeared on Rukia's face, and she looked at Ichigo with a smile on her face and said, "Hmph...... Over here...... Isn't there also a Grim Reaper! ”

Ichigo was stunned for a moment, looking at the smile on Rukia's face, Ichigo pointed at himself hesitantly as if he understood something, "Wait, what did you say...... Could it be ......?"

"That's right, it's you." Rukia nodded and pointed to Ichigo, "Kurosaki Ichigo, you have now become the Grim Reaper, and you have taken away all my power, so until my spiritual pressure is fully restored, you must help me deal with my work as the Grim Reaper." ”

"Hey, hey, it's irresponsible for you to talk like this!" Ichigo said loudly, "At that critical moment last night, it was also a helpless move to become a god of death!" And how do I know I'm going to take all your spiritual pressure away! It's not what I want. Speaking of Ichigo's voice in the back, it became softer and softer, well, anyway, Rukia has a part of the unshirkable responsibility for becoming like this now, and besides, Rukia can be regarded as saving herself last night! Refusing Rukia like this, Ichigo was also a little embarrassed.

"Then it can't be helped." Rukia shrugged, a cold glint flashed in her eyes and said, "I don't have spiritual pressure now, and you don't want to help me deal with those voids, in this case, after the voids appear, I can only let those voids wreak havoc to devour my soul." By the way, Kurosaki Ichigo, Void is more interested in human souls with relatively high spiritual power, your spiritual power is so high, there must be people in your family who have high spiritual power, maybe when, those family members who are staring at you may not be able to say. ”

"Hey, don't you be alarmist here, okay?" Ichigo said with a little weakness.

"Am I being alarmist, you should know very well, right? Ichigo Kurosaki! Rukia looked at Ichigo's "dying throes" and said seriously. "Think about it! Last night's false performance, and then, you find another reason to reject me! ”
