Chapter 175 - Family

“Shinigami is really a strange creature!”

Holding a drink on the table, Lilynette looked at Hiyori and Shinji who were noisy in front of him.

“What’s wrong?”

Hearing Lilynette’s sigh, Kuna Mashiro, who was lying on the side in the same position, blinked and asked.

“If you had invited him in the name of Kimura, Kurosaki Ichigo would have agreed to join you. Why did you invite him in the name of the ‘Visored’?”

After hearing Lilynette’s words, Kuna Mashiro tilted her head and thought for a long time, then turned her eyes to Hiyori.

“What?”

“I say, why don’t we invite Kurosaki Ichigo in the name of Kimura? In that case, he definitely won’t refuse, right?”

Hearing Kuna Mashiro’s words, Hiyori, who was originally lecturing Hirako Shinji, suddenly stopped. The expression on her face was somewhat strange.

“Idiot, how can it be the same!”

“What’s wrong?”

“We want to invite our companions, the companions of our ‘Visored’.”

“But isn’t Kimura our companion?”

“It’s not the same. Kimura is just our companion, but not our kind.”

“Hey, Hiyori!”

Hearing Hiyori’s words, Hirako Shinji whispered, and his face became a little ugly.

“What’s wrong?” Don’t you think so too? I know that Kimura is our good friend. We have been taken care of by him for so many years, but in the end, Kimura is not the same as us, isn’t he? “

Hearing Hiyori’s words, the people in the room were silent. They did not know how to answer Hiyori’s question. This was indeed a difficult question to answer. Although Muyang was indeed their good friend, Hirako Shinji stubbornly wanted to use the name of the ‘Visored’ when inviting Kurosaki Ichigo to join. It was not without this consideration.

“We are half hollow,

After abandoning Shinigami’s identity, even if our friends are still around, we can no longer return to how we were before. We are the ‘Visored’, the Shinigami who stepped into the Virtual Realm. We are nothing.”

The room suddenly became quiet, and only Hiyori’s low voice echoed in the room.

Hirako Shinji sat on the side, his eyes lowered, and no one knew what he was thinking. Love held his comic book in his hand, but his eyes fell on somewhere. Lisa was also absent-minded. The lewd book in her hand could not make her excited, and Kensei was unconsciously wiping his Zanpakuto with a cloth in his hand. Rose’s fingers were unconsciously tapping on the other side, and Hachi sat there with his hands crossed, silent. Even Kuna Mashiro stopped shaking his legs.

In the silent room, a depressing atmosphere gradually rose, making everyone in the room feel awkward, but no one broke this strange atmosphere first.

“Ah, what’s wrong? What happened? Why aren’t you talking?”

"

"

A lazy voice suddenly sounded, breaking the strange atmosphere in the room.

Swoosh, swoosh —

At the moment the voice just fell, everyone in the room turned their eyes and aimed at Stark who appeared in the room with sleepy eyes.

“What’s wrong?”

Suddenly targeted by the eyes of more than ten people, Stark suddenly felt a pressure. Even he, in the face of such a strange situation, was a little overwhelmed for a moment. The hand that was rubbing his hair stopped involuntarily. The smile on his face also seemed a bit stiff. After hesitating for a moment, Stark spoke again with a hesitant tone.

“No. Nothing!”

Hearing Stark’s voice, Hiyori shook his head and left a back of her head for Stark. Obviously, he did not want to answer Stark’s question. Although she has lived together for so many years, she is still very uncomfortable with Stark. That lazy look is just like Kisuke, making her feel uncomfortable!

“Although I don’t know what’s going on, I always feel like something big has happened.”

For Hiyori’s attitude, it was noncommittal. After so many years, Stark had long been used to Hiyori’s attitude towards him. He rubbed his slightly messy hair and made them more messy. Stark walked to the bar counter, took out the wine from the cabinet below and poured himself a cup. He took a sip and let out a comfortable groan.

Leaning on the bar counter, Stark held his chin with one hand and shook the wine glass with the other hand, looking calm.

“Then, can you tell me what happened? After all, we have lived together for so many years. We are like each other’s family. Although our identities are different, I don’t think it will affect our relationship.”

“Family?!”

Hearing the word spat out from Stark’s mouth, everyone in the room was shocked. For them, this is an unattainable word!

Stark and several people don’t say it. They were born in Hueco Mundo and never knew what family is. In Hueco Mundo’s cruel environment, there is only killing and death. Stark and others are like this. Hirako Shinji they are not outdone. Most of them were born in Rukongai and have never felt the beauty of family. The word “family” can only be seen in books, and now Stark said they are family

“Family…?”

As he muttered these two words in a low voice, everyone couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment. Although they didn’t communicate with each other, just carefully tasting these two words was enough to fill their hearts with warmth.

“Tsk, who wants to be family with this baldy Shinji…”

Hiyori looked at Shinji and suddenly jumped down from her stool. She said a disdainful sentence and then turned around to walk towards the backyard. However, her tone was not imposing at all. Moreover, there was a layer of blush on her face. Although it was not very obvious, everyone present clearly saw it.

Bang!!

After walking into the backyard, Hiyori did not forget to slam the door shut and let out a loud noise.

“Hey, Hiyori just now, your face seemed to have turned red.”

Kuna Mashiro put a finger in her mouth and looked at the back door that was still shaking. Suddenly, her head tilted and she blinked her big eyes as she said playfully.

“Hahahaha —“

As soon as Kuna Mashiro finished speaking, a burst of violent laughter erupted in the room. Looking at everyone who was sitting together and laughing, the corners of everyone’s eyes suddenly became wet. Looking at their companions around them, a feeling that was even stronger than before slowly brewed in front of their chests.

“Those idiots, who is their family!”

Leaning against the door and listening to the bursts of laughter coming from inside the room, Hiyori felt the joy in everyone’s laughter. She bit her lips and said, but her eyes became a little red, and there seemed to be something sparkling in her eyes.

————–

“Ha Choo!”

“What’s the matter, Mr. Kimura? You seem to have caught a cold. Do you want me to take a look for you?”

“Er… no need. Captain Unohana, I am fine. You should check the injury of Kenpachi.”

Hearing Unohana’s words, Muyang quickly waved his hand. He did not want to be examined by her Zanpakuto for no reason. What if her ‘meat ‘swallowed him… Thinking of this, Muyang suddenly felt that his stomach was a little uncomfortable.

“Captain Zaraki’s injury is no longer serious. There are no fatal wounds on his body. It is only because of the intense battle that he is still unconscious. But Mr. Kimura, are you really okay? I see that your face is a little ugly. Do you want me to treat you?”

“No!”

Hearing Unohana talk about this terrible thing again, Muyang quickly refused, but the more ugly face made the concern on Unohana’s face become more and more intense, which made Muyang shocked. He was really afraid that Unohana would suddenly release hwr Zanpakuto and swallow him in one bite.

“Since there are no problems with Sword Eight’s injuries, then I will leave first. I will come to see him after he wakes up. Goodbye, Unohana Captain, thank you.”

After saying that, Muyang directly turned around and left quickly. The pressure that Unohana Retsu gave him was too strong. He was really a little afraid of this black-bellied sister, whether in the past or now, or even in the future.

“Oh, running so fast, as if scared of someone is a terrible thing.”

Looking at Muyang who fled in a sorry state, Unohana Retsu covered her mouth and laughed softly. There was a signature kind smile on her face, which made people can’t help but feel good, but only familiar people can feel the horror behind her smile.

“But…”

The eyes turned to Zaraki Kenpachi on the bed, and the smile on Unohana Retsu face faded, but with a concern and thinking.

“This is the fourth time he sent Zaraki Kenpachi to 4th Division. Every time he passed out after the battle reached the limit, but Zaraki Captain has few injuries, even if there is, it is the kind of injury that can be recovered in a short time.”

But what made Unohana Retsu more concerned is the growth of Zaraki Kenpachi Strength. For the growth of Zaraki Kenpachi Strength, Unohana Retsu is clear. Every time he lives from the life and death moment, Zaraki Kenpachi Strength will have a great improvement, which is his gradual release of his strength in the life and death battles.

The figure of a teenager full of wildness flashed in his mind, and Unohana Retsu heart could not help but ripple.

I really look forward to you recovering your strength, the only man who can please me!
