Today was Saturday, and it didn't seem like Shinozaki Hospital was open yet. I pressed the doorbell lightly and Ichigo popped his head out of the second-floor window. When he saw that it was me, he shrank back within a second. Then, there was the sound of items crashing and falling.
I heard Ichigo stomping down the stairs. On the last step, he couldn't stop because he was too fast. After staggering but bravely maintaining his balance, he opened the door with slightly disordered breathing.
" Oh, oh, oh, this is really passionate--" Just as I said that, I was dragged to the alley next to his house.
" Why are you here?!" It seemed that it was not a welcome, but the exact opposite.
"How unlucky. Seeing your face so early in the morning, I'm sure I'll be very unlucky today.”Ichigo raised his arms and glared at me.
I couldn't be bothered to lower myself to his level. I raised the paper bag in my hand without changing my smile. I'm here to visit Xiali-kun."
He pressed his hand on my shoulder harder.
"Why are you always thinking about my sister?”Ichigo's expression was suspicious, and he said in an unfriendly tone,"I will never let a suspicious person like you get close to Xiali!”Then, she snatched the gift from my hand." Concealed!”
"Be careful! Inside was a detonator that would explode if it was moved.”I said very seriously.
Ichigo instinctively threw the paper bag away. The next second, he regretfully reached out to grab it. I saw panic in his round eyes. It took him another second to react.
"Do you think I'm an idiot? If you move, it will explode. How did you get it?”
Part of his rage was directed at himself, who had been tricked. Since he had already realized that he was an idiot, I could only spread my hands speechlessly. This guy's body always acted before his brain. Calling him an idiot was the most appropriate.
When Ichigo's eyes caught sight of the game disc that had fallen out of the paper bag, his eyes lit up with flames.
"Oh? Eleven people from the eighth generation? The newest! And it's a hidden version!"
" Ah, I was going to give it to Xialijun, but since Big Brother doesn't allow it…" I turned around as I spoke. He counted his steps, and when he took the third step…
"Wait!" Turning around, he saw Ichigo with his arms crossed, feeling conflicted. But soon, his brows relaxed. He raised his head and pointed his chin at me. He said arrogantly,"Under the care of this great elder brother, there is nothing to be afraid of a specter of unknown origins! Come in!"
Too inexperienced. I shook my head as I walked into his house. As soon as he entered, he saw the registration office. It seemed that medicine was also sold here. This was a small family clinic. The first floor was the hall and waiting room. From the open door, he could see a row of black benches with a few hanging rods for hanging bottles. There was a small operating theater and ward on the second floor. The house was probably further up.
After stepping into the entrance of the third floor, I stopped in a daze.
"Hey, what's wrong?" I heard Ichigo's impatient voice, but I couldn't react.
" Masaki…" I called out. The familiar face in the poster, the smile I had seen countless times…My vision was impacted by this, and for a moment, I didn't know where I was.
" That, that's my mother." Ichigo's face turned red and he turned his head uneasily. His reaction of feeling embarrassed was actually filled with pride for his mother, but he did not seem to realize it.
Just like a celebrity poster, it had the words " MASAKO " written on the bottom right corner, which saved me a lot of trouble. If Ichigo found out that I knew her mother's name, I don't know how suspicious I would be.
Just as I smiled and said," What a beautiful lady." A petite figure rushed into the corridor like a cannonball. She crashed into my arms.
"Caught you!" Xia Li's thin arms wrapped tightly around my waist, her head pressed tightly against my stomach." Do you still dare to say that I'm dreaming this time?!"”
The last time he had met with a fake, Ichigo's explanation would have been " Xiali, you had a nightmare, hahaha ". This simple-minded single-cell could only come up with such a level of lie. Sigh, thinking about how I used the same excuse the first time, I felt that my intelligence had been belittled to the level of Ichigo.
So I patted Xia Li's head and said gently,"" It's not a dream, Master Xiali." She let go of me in confusion, her face saying,"Why did you call me 'Milor'?"
At this moment, Ichigo, who had seized the opportunity, stepped angrily between us. Xia Li pushed him unhappily, but he crossed his arms and didn't move at all.
The Shinozaki siblings stood side by side in front of me, frowning and pouting as if they were from the same mold.
Looking at this pair of siblings who looked very similar, I smiled and lowered my head. My right hand elegantly touched my heart."Lord Shinozaki, I've been looking for you for a long time.”
Her long silver hair was neatly tied up, and with a white shirt and black trousers, she should have no problem acting as a knight.
Ichigo was caught off guard as he retreated, making a piercing noise."Oh, I see."
"I've always wanted to meet Lord Shinozaki.”I saluted the two of them with impeccable chivalry.
Ichigo was completely confused. "Who the hell are you talking to?" he wailed.!”Unlike Ichigo, who was jumping up and down, Shari asked me rationally,""Um, who exactly are you…"
He knelt on one knee. Then, I held Xiali's small hand. When my soft lips touched the back of her hand, I whispered softly,""I am your servant, my Lord Ji Jun.”
Then, I looked up with a smile and saw that Shari's expression gradually changed from shock to happiness, and finally stopped at a brilliant smile. Ichigo looked as if he had seen a monster that could destroy the world, and he had to restrain himself to barely restrain his urge to run away.
"Why do you keep pestering us!”
Sitting in Natsuki's room and playing games together, Ichigo still didn't give up on his suspicion of me.
"Because you are my master." I said respectfully as I manipulated the striker to pierce his goal with a header.
"Wow!" Ichigo threw the controller away and roared at me,""Then why don't you be more polite to me! Kicking Master to a score of 5:0 is your loyalty?! I'll kill you!"
Xia Li kicked him. Those who can't afford to lose better not play!"
Then, it became me and Xiali happily playing a friendly match, while Ichigo, who was still unwilling to give up, sat between us with his chin in his hand, his dead fish face tensed up.
"Sister Shiren, why do you always appear at the critical moment?”
"Just like what I just reported, because of the bond between us in our previous lives, I can hear Xiali's call no matter where I am.”
Ichigo interrupted,"... Erm, so you have a name from your previous life too?"”I looked at him in amusement.
Just now, I told you a story that was full of ups and downs. In my previous life, they had a master-servant relationship with me. Ichigo is the great daimyo, Shari is the beautiful princess, and I am the loyal samurai. On the stage of history, his life was full of great waves, and I was always by his side. I couldn't bear to listen to it halfway.
When roaring and ridiculing me didn't work, he probably had no choice but to cooperate with my thinking mode to refute me.
So I smiled and replied,"Yes."”
"What was your name in your previous life?" Ichigo asked proudly.”
"Shiren."
"Ah?" Ichigo, who thought he could stump me, widened his eyes.
"No matter how many reincarnations we've gone through, our names and appearances have never changed. Don't you remember, Lord Ichigo?”
Ichigo was tongue-tied, and Shari welcomed this scene, giggling.
I went from kneeling straight to kneeling towards him, causing Ichigo to retreat. My forehead almost touched his knees as he leaned back, his hands behind his back, and his legs slightly loosened.
"Ever since I opened my eyes, I've been looking for you, Ichigo. Before I met you, I wandered despairingly in the mud of sirens on the dark, dead sea. And you are the light that cuts through the fog, pointing the way for me who is lost.”
I heard my soft and hoarse voice, like the melting of the first snow, sweet and calm, flowing slowly.
"It's great to find you, Ichigo.”
Although the narration was half true and half false, the emotions were real.
The dreams every night are driving me crazy. What was even more terrifying was that Ichigo's face began to overlap with Hitokun's body.
I had a dangerous guess that the hole in my heart was probably Hitomi, who had shared a short and happy childhood with me. However, he felt very certain that the person he was looking for was Ichigo. What was going on?
When my brain was in a mess, I couldn't help but place my feelings for Hitomi on Ichigo. I really couldn't tell whether my admiration and hope for Ichigo, as well as my strong desire to protect him, had anything to do with Hitomi. I was afraid that I would unconsciously mold Ichigo in the direction of Hitomi…
" Even if Ichigo is the reincarnation of that person, they are two completely different people," I told myself. I decided to restrain myself and not mix the two of them up. Ichigo was Ichigo. Although he was an idiot, arrogant, and grumpy, he was the best.
"Lord Ichigo, please let me accompany you. In this life, I will definitely serve the emperor and never leave his side. I'll protect you well and bet my life on it.”
"Oh! Sister Shiren's acting skills are amazing!" Xia Li clapped her hands happily and praised.
It was precisely because he predicted that he would not be taken seriously that he did this. It looked more like acting. That was good.
