"Hey, Ayahara-san, is your brother coming to pick you up today?”
Fortunately, today was a club activity day, so when school was over, even though they knew that Dong Shilang would still appear, the girls could only sigh and go to the club dejectedly.
What greeted my eyes was a small figure about ten meters in front of me. He probably thought that the school gate would be very troublesome, so he changed his location today and waited for me at the corner of the street. Then today, I'll change my method of pranking.
As if I had blended into the air, I concealed my aura and sneakily approached.
"Dong Shi Lang!"
“！”
When we were standing at the back, I suddenly hugged the small man from behind. The frightened young man cried out in surprise and struggled, but I cleverly used my joints to stabilize him.
"... Bai, idiot, let go!"
"You have too many openings. You haven't reached the peak of your cultivation yet, Dong Shiro!”
"I don't need you to tell me that…let go of me!”
"Alright, call me sister!”
“……”
The passers-by all smiled when they saw us hugging each other affectionately.
"Oh, oh, it's really the beautiful sisters!”
Eh? Hearing this voice, I lowered my head-beautiful face, beautiful eyes-but my little brother is clearly so manly. No matter how beautiful he is, he shouldn't be treated as a girl!
"Dong Shilang, isn't your hair too long?”
" What are you talking about all of a sudden…" The little ghost, who was struggling to save himself, shook his head impatiently.
"Do you remember the last time you cut your hair?”I let him go and ran my fingers through his hair.
"…How can you remember something like that?”
"Then, let's go to the barbershop later ~"
"…Idiot!" He suddenly turned his head and ignored me. Why was he suddenly angry? I was baffled.
At this moment-Beep beep, ringtone? He took out his phone from his pocket and quickly browsed through the screen. His expression became solemn.
"…I'll go deal with the task, you hurry home-walk in a straight line, as fast as you can, got it?”
Dong Shi Lang's back disappeared in a flash. I…would only be a burden if I followed him. He clenched his fists tightly, then loosened them, then clenched them again.
Right now, I can only do what I can.
"That's enough. How long do you want to follow me?!”
In front of me, Ichigo, who was carrying his school bag on his back, suddenly stopped and said without looking back.
He really likes to put on an act…Ignoring his handsome behavior, I waved my index finger."Promise, promise."
"Promise my ass!" Ichigo couldn't keep up the pretense anymore. He turned around and pointed at me." I didn't make any promises with you!”
"Oh? Shinozaki-kun was the one who said he would help me fulfill my wish, right?”
" Tsk... that, that..." Ichigo choked and cursed," Damn it! What kind of wish is that!"
"But you've already promised, right? As a man, wasn't it natural for him to keep his word?”
"Specters should look like specters! Can't you just make a wish of an ordinary spirit, like 'send a message to someone' or 'take care of XXX for me!'”
Just like that, she walked home with Ichigo while listening to him argue. When he passed by the park in the middle of the street, he saw a group of delinquents putting out some strange things that were suspected to be sacrifices and making a lot of noise. Above them floated the soul of a little girl.
Noticing our gaze, the little girl floated over happily and poured out all her troubles.
"Oh? Was he being quarreled? I understand. Leave it to me."
After listening carefully to the little girl's story, Ichigo threw down his school bag. His actions still looked like he was deliberately trying to be cool, but that serious expression…actually made me feel that he was a little reliable?
" Hey, you guys-" The corners of his mouth curled up in disdain. With a faint excitement, he walked towards the delinquents with an imposing manner. At this moment-
The pale-blue wind whirled them up into the sky, along with the mess at their feet. Although they were blown dozens of meters away, they landed gently. At most, they felt like they were on a roller coaster and their stomachs were slightly uncomfortable. As for the psychological discomfort, they had to overcome it themselves.
"You bastard!" At the same time, Ichigo was also shocked. He took two or three steps towards me and said angrily," Why didn't you tell me in advance?”
"Oh? Did I disturb the savior Shinozaki's heroic act?”I said lazily.
Then Ichigo angrily grabbed me by the collar as if he was a boy.
"What are you thinking? Why are you following me?"
What am I thinking? It would have been better if he didn't ask, but I got angry the moment he asked.
" Are you kidding me?" I said darkly." Can you be more promising?”
Ichigo looked angry and confused after being scolded by someone for no reason. Seeing his unconscious appearance, my anger rose.
"Is this level of small trouble enough to satisfy you?”I grabbed him by the collar and narrowed my eyes dangerously." You think you're playing a game, defeating waves of enemies and leveling up as long as you accumulate enough experience points, right?”
This little rascal…he lived a passive and negative life. He never took the initiative to think about his own situation, let alone do anything to improve his situation. He accepted the provocation and was proud of himself for being able to defeat his opponent every time.
"Idiot, listen up! No matter how many enemies you defeated, you would not gain anything!”
Ichigo, how did you feel when you said you wanted to protect her? What about your desire to become stronger? What was with this apathetic look? What about the opportunity that gave you the courage to rush out of your house in the middle of the night with a wooden knife and chase after your enemy when you were eight?!
"Come and try. When facing a true expert, it would depend on how strong you were.”I threw him back contemptuously.”
This was a declaration of war.
Ichigo took half a step back, and before he could stand still, he threw a punch at him. His fist brought with it a whooshing sound.
" How stupid." I raised my left shoulder as I tilted my head to the right. My hard shoulder blade knocked against the meridian of my wrist." The fist that brought about such a loud wind... The attack route was inefficient, so the energy was worn away in the air, and the speed was even slower!”
Ichigo swung his numb right wrist, and when he tried to hit me again, he could no longer hold his fist tightly-I easily intercepted him. He grabbed his right hand and threw him on his back.
" You've learned karate before, Amagasaki," I said coldly as I looked down at Ichigo lying on the grass." Attack in a straight line, aim at your vitals, calm down, and see through your opponent's movements. Where did you learn that? It was replaced by the dirty skills of the street dojos, right?!”
He looked at me fiercely with an expression that said,"Why should I listen to a woman like you?" I sighed and reached out to him. Of course, he was ignored. Since that was the case, of course I could ignore his disregard.
I grabbed his hand and pulled him up. I pushed him to the little girl who was stunned.
"Now, please accept the gratitude of the people you saved, Mr. Hero.”
"Bastard!" She shouted at the loudest volume possible, making my ears ring." You bastard! Are you mocking me?"
I rubbed my ears with a bitter face, then picked up his ears and shouted back in revenge,"Idiot, you deserve this."
The little girl cleverly thanked him first, then thanked me. I smiled at her and shook my head, then turned to Ichigo. Carrying out the principle of carrot and stick, I put on a gentle smile and said to him encouragingly,
"Without you as a bridge, there would be many more ghosts in the world that could not be helped and could not be saved. Letting an emotionally unstable ghost wander around might cause some trouble. "That's why your power is very rare. Moreover, you've always used your power to help this world. Isn't that great?”
"Even if…even if you suddenly said that, I wouldn't feel happy!”Ichigo turned his head and folded his arms, looking embarrassed and proud. What an awkward fellow.
"But…" I kicked him." It's the most dangerous to deal with creatures from different worlds! If you were only half-hearted and satisfied with the power to defeat a few scumbags…you might be swallowed up at any time!”
He didn't know if it was his luck or misfortune that he hadn't met Xu Zhen yet. Because he had never seen great power, he was content with the status quo and did not want to improve. However, if he had met Xu earlier, then…Thinking of this, I broke out in cold sweat.
"There's a flaw!" Ichigo's eyes turned cold as he kicked at me. You're too naive. Do you think there's a flaw just because you see me in a daze?
I agilely turned to the side, and he couldn't stop his feet because of inertia, revealing the gap in his back. I pressed down on his shoulder, pulled his upper body close to his knee joint, and twisted his arm to keep him half-kneeling on the ground, unable to move.
"What the hell are you thinking!" Ichigo, who had been suppressed to the ground, was so angry that the veins on his face bulged. For some reason, this twisted face made me feel both interesting and nostalgic.
"You should enjoy the free teaching. Come, call me teacher.”I was probably smiling very brightly because provoking this kid who was easily triggered was a very interesting thing.
" Who would call you an unknown creature?" Ichigo's eyes lit up and he suddenly exerted his strength." There's a flaw!”
After pushing me away, Ichigo jumped up and stared at me warily. And I had already lost the mood to joke, because…
A huge, ominous spiritual pressure was slowly approaching. His body involuntarily trembled.
At the very least, he had to make sure Ichigo got home safely! Just as I was thinking about this, I felt the void stop, but the reason for it to stop was-
"Xiali!" I couldn't help but cry out, and my entire body instantly turned cold.
"What?!" Ichigo's aura suddenly changed. I've never seen him so anxious and serious.
"How do you know my sister?! Xiali, what happened to Xiali?"
"... Anyway, go home, I..."
"Stop joking!" Ichigo grabbed my collar. It seemed like he had completely overcome the psychological barrier of me being a woman." If anything happens to my sister..." He glared at me fiercely, his tone more violent than usual.
He felt a sharp pain on his forehead? I narrowed my eyes. What a good killing intent.
The thing that ignited him…the opportunity…I think I found it.
"Alright, I'll do it. Then…your sister is in danger, and the opponent is an extremely powerful existence. Even I can't guarantee that I can escape unscathed. Are you still going?"
"Nonsense! Where is it? Hurry up!"
Looking at Ichigo's fiery eyes, I laughed.
"Let's go."
