Suddenly, a piece of shard pierced into his fingertip.
In the silence, the air seemed to have gained weight.
Through the air, she could feel Dong Shilang's frown. His heart felt like it was being clenched by a fist.
What made him hesitate all night and stuck in his throat for a long time was actually something that was so difficult to face-going back…was parting. " Go back?" There was nothing to ask. Even if he asked, he wouldn't say anything. The point was that we were going to part ways.
After a second of pause, I picked up a piece of broken glass nonchalantly."Is it because of the recent abnormal situation?”
"No, it's not that. "As the captain, I-" He answered too quickly, so I interrupted him.
"Is it because of me?"
This time, he didn't even try to cover it up. Dong Shilang was speechless.
Once again, the living room was quiet and empty.
Pieces of broken glass fell into the trash can, making a "crash" sound.
While I was enduring the test of the heavy air, another person answered me.
" Indeed, because of you, a certain troublesome fellow-" There was a dramatic pause, and then the man continued," Someone's attention was drawn here by you.”
As always, he was playful and elusive. This man who barged into a private house in the middle of the night without any guilt was Urahara.
His eyes were hidden in the shadows. He looked like a profiteer today. To be more specific, Urahara seemed to be playing the role of an intelligence dealer today.
The sofa was a little narrow. I invited him to sit down at the dining table, but he didn't say a word for a long time. He had a flash of inspiration, and it was as if a notification had come from the void-he was waiting…
I brewed a pot of hot tea. After serving the fragrant tea, Urahara said happily,"Shiren, if there is something that is coveted and very dangerous, what will you do?”
It was impossible to tell what he was thinking from his expression, but it didn't feel like a test. It felt more like a " prelude." Realizing that it didn't matter how I answered, I quickly replied,""Destroy it."
"What if even the creator himself can't think of a way to destroy it?”
"Hide."
" Indeed." He tapped the table with his folding fan." That's normal logic. So the question is "-the tapping stopped abruptly-" where?”
"Don't say such useless things." Dong Shi Lang suddenly stood up.”The child then turned to me." It has nothing to do with you. You don't have to think about it."”
It was obvious that they were divided into two completely different factions when it came to me. Fuyunshiro and Yayoichi were firm overprotectors, while Urahara…He had been testing me intentionally or unintentionally, as if he had some expectations, but he couldn't be honest with me. His attitude was very contradictory. Therefore, I placed 120% importance on his sudden gift of information today.
Urahara yawned listlessly, his mouth occupying one-third of his face.
" You'll think about her, right? Hehe…" I heard a hint of mockery in his tone." That person has been watching her. He came here personally when he found you here. There are many interesting things here. He probably left satisfied…"
"So I will go back and settle everything!”Dong Shiro interrupted him with a strong aura. His tone was solemn yet relaxed, and his green eyes were bright and full of confidence, thus revealing his decisiveness.
Urahara shrugged, his thin and slender fingers holding the teacup, not saying anything else.
I didn't speak. If I asked him, I would probably be blackmailed for a large sum of money. I had a hunch that this was the case. I always felt that I couldn't let my guard down when facing this person, and he seemed to be avoiding me, so I had nothing to say to him.
Outside the window, the sleet had turned into a downpour. Urahara had already taken his leave, and the large living room was now silent.
The cold, damp air drifted through the crack in the window. Sitting on the windowsill, I looked at my pale reflection in the dark glass.
So, before this, Urahara didn't allow me to go out on my own…So, ever since I appeared, the danger level of Kurazacho has been increasing day by day…A certain fellow that even Urahara finds troublesome has been watching me? That's why Ye Yi hasn't been around lately, and Dong Shilang is going back somewhere…Are they dealing with something that I should be doing?
"…Then, what am I doing…to suddenly lose my memory at a time like this…" His forehead gently touched the cold glass.
"It's useless to think too much." A huge lion head appeared in the reflection.
When I thought about how I wouldn't be able to see this face soon, I said in a bad tone,"It is impossible for a person who is hiding something to understand the feelings of the person who is being hidden.”
" You're very energetic." The expression on his face was neither mocking nor encouraging." Even though you realized that you're different from the one in my memory, you're still living well based on your intuition. You're so evil that you're justified. You're no different from before.”
I adjusted the curtains and turned to face him."Hey, Dong Shilang, I want to know what kind of person I am in your eyes.”
He turned his head, crossed his thin arms in front of his chest, and a layer of haze appeared on his face.
Which of his reverse scales had he touched? I bent down and stroked the top of his head as I asked,"Are you hungry?"
He answered me too quickly,""No."
"Why are you so hot-tempered all of a sudden?”
He could not answer and shook his head in frustration.
"I'll go make supper." When she turned around and walked to the kitchen, a low voice came from behind her."Cooking porridge! Don't waste the other ingredients."
"Will it be too sweet?"
Dong Shilang did not even raise his head and only snorted.
"It's alright."
It was already the third bowl, and he clearly liked it…How dishonest.
The rain continued to fall. I sat on the windowsill as the night wind blew through the window that was as tall as a person. The coldness of the wind would only warm me up. The whistling of the wind was a sweet whisper. The night tainted my body and mind with a wonderful tranquility. On the right was the vast curtain of rain, and on the left, Dong Shilang was walking over.
"You still have classes tomorrow. Go to sleep quickly.”
He tilted his head. The little lion, who had filled its stomach and was no longer irritable, stared at me and said indifferently.
This was too smug. I grabbed him and pressed him against my knees.
"Idiot, idiot, let go!" In a flurry, the curtains were also messed up by his struggle.
"If you can't do it, think of a way yourself.”Where's Pride, who ordered me just now? Humph.
" You've become just like that unrestrained fool-" He abruptly stopped talking.
What an unrestrained fool…I felt an inexplicable emotion in my heart. I subconsciously let go of my hand after being hit by the impact.
Dong Shilang gripped the curtains tightly. He didn't speak, nor did he look up. I sighed in my heart and said gently,"If I go to sleep, I'll probably dream of Dongshiro. Compared to being forced to look at those unreal pictures, I'd rather hear Dong Shilang tell me about you personally.”
Seeing his wavering expression, I continued,"The past that I found out about in that way, my original feelings, and the bonds that bound me were all destroyed.”
Dong Shi Lang lowered his head. Under my gaze, her fan-like eyelashes gently opened and closed. Her beautiful and clear eyes were like precious emeralds. Seriously, why is a boy so beautiful? Just as she was thinking about this, her beautifully shaped lips opened slightly.
"My bad luck started when I met you.”
With this opening remark that made me laugh and cry, the night slipped away quietly in his narration. When the sky turned navy blue, he jumped off the windowsill.
"With the captain's rank, unless there are special circumstances, it's impossible for him to be assigned a mission to station in the main world, nor can he leave the Tranquil Palace for too long.”
He had his back to me and clenched his fists by his sides. He said in a deep voice,"I have to go. I will change the Death God assigned to this place to one of my own. I will inform you in advance. You…"
He probably wanted to remind her of something, but he didn't know what to say. Finally, he turned around and smiled at me.
This expression really had a lot of meaning. His furrowed brows relaxed slightly, and his expression was firm yet uncertain. It seemed to be both worried and relieved. It was dazzling because of its confidence, but also because it felt a heavy responsibility, and it had a trace of solemnity.
Finally, I smiled and said,"Cut your hair before you leave."”
He widened his eyes and returned to the expression that a child should have. She patted his head. When I heard him talk about the past, I remembered that I had cut his hair myself for many, many years. So when I said "go to the barbershop" that day, he was naturally angry.
After that, when I pressed him in the bathroom to wash his hair and cut it, his face in the mirror kept showing an awkward expression that kept urging him to hurry up and blushed slightly. It was really familiar.
After trimming his long hair, he felt much more energetic. I smiled and waved my hand as he disappeared from my sight. At this moment, it was impossible to see that Winter Shiro, who was behind me, suddenly raised his right hand and waved casually.
Do all boys like to act cool?
