While Yukio was playing the game with the handheld device in his hand, he spoke calmly towards Kurosaki Ichigo and others who had completed their training in the game space.
"Is it finally finished? Because you guys are procrastinating, I can only plug in the computer and play games all the time, which consumes a lot of battery."
"Ah, I'm sorry to bother you."
Kurosaki Ichigo scratched his head in embarrassment.
Hearing this, Yukio glanced at him lightly: "Anyway, you should go home early today. If you stay here for so long without contacting me in advance, your family will be worried, right?"
"Uh! Oops!"
After the other party reminded me, Kurosaki Ichigo finally reacted, "I just remembered it when you said it! I didn't notify my home or school! How many days have I been here?"
"Less than a day."
Yukio pointed calmly at the electronic clock on the table. The time at the moment was 1:05 in the middle of the night. Kurosaki Ichigo came in the morning. Strictly speaking, less than twenty-four hours does not count as a day.
"I wipe it? But I feel like several days have passed?" Kurosaki Ichigo looked at the clock with a confused expression.
"Because I adjusted the time in the game world, thank me." Yukio continued to play the game with his head down as if nothing had happened, as if this kind of thing was just a piece of cake for him.
"Changing 'time'? Is this kind of thing possible?" Kurosaki Ichigo was shocked when he heard this.
Each of these guys' full-bringing jutsu abilities are like cheating. In comparison, my own full-bringing jutsu feels very ordinary. It feels like it's just a degraded version of the 'Swastika' when I had the power of the god of death. It doesn't even work.
I can't even think of a name.
"Okay, go back quickly."
On the side, Ginjo Kūgo waved his hand to see the guest off, "Even if it's so late, your sisters will definitely be waiting for you to go back while rubbing their eyes."
"All right……"
Hearing this, Ichigo Kurosaki nodded slightly and left the club together with Orihime Inoue and Yasutora Chadatari.
On the way, he frowned slightly and looked at Chad Taihu and asked: "Chadu, did you tell these guys about me? I always feel like they know everything about me."
"No……"
Chatata Taihu shook his head slightly, "Actually, they have been eyeing you for a long time, and they took the initiative to come to you, including me. It seems that in order to eliminate the power in themselves, they have made a lot of efforts secretly and done many things.
Meticulous investigation.”
"Is that so..."
Hearing this, Kurosaki Ichigo scratched his head and stopped worrying, "Well, forget it, these are not secrets anyway."
Soon, he returned to his home clinic and opened the door carefully: "I'll be back..."
Sure enough, just as Ginjo Kugo said, his sisters were waiting for him to come home.
Before he could finish his words, the sound of hurried running and the surprised voice of his sister Youzi could be heard.
"You're back!?" Kurosaki Yuzi came towards him with a smile, "Great! Brother, you are finally back! You've worried us to death!"
"Uh... I'm sorry, it's so late..." Kurosaki Ichigo apologized awkwardly.
But the Black Rider did not dwell on this matter, but happily pulled him towards the living room.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time! Today we have a guest we haven't seen for a long time!"
"Forehead?"
Hearing this, Kurosaki Ichigo was slightly startled, "I haven't seen this guest yet? Who is it?"
At this moment, his mind was full of doubts, thinking that he should have no so-called 'distant relatives'. After all, his father was the God of Death, and his mother... had already passed away long ago, and he had never heard of the relatives over there.
.
"Hey, what do you think?" Youzi smiled, with a mysterious look on his face.
"There's no warning, who knows?" Kurosaki Ichigo pouted slightly. After passing the clinic on the first floor, he changed his shoes and followed his sister towards the living room upstairs.
He thought to himself that it couldn't be someone from the Soul Society who came to visit wearing a prosthetic body, right?
Soon, the two came to the second floor.
However, when he saw the figure sitting on the sofa in the living room, Kurosaki Ichigo not only was not surprised, but his pupils shrank sharply and his eyes became wary.
"Look! Are you shocked? Brother, it's Axiu!" Kurosaki Yuzi chuckled and introduced this person she shouldn't have known to her brother, "Ever since Grandpa Lin's funeral, I haven't seen him for several years.
Have you? I miss you so much! You haven’t forgotten it, have you?”
As if in agreement with Kurosaki Yuko's words, Tsukishima Hidekuro, who was sitting on the sofa, turned his head and greeted Kurosaki Ichigo: "Oh, long time no see, Ichigo."
"!!!"
Kurosaki Ichigo was stunned on the spot.
But the wanderer beside him and Xia Li, who was also in the living room, continued to talk as if it was serious.
"Axiu came here in the evening. We had dinner together today! It's been a long time since I had dinner with brother Axiu. I'm so happy!"
"He suddenly came here without saying a word... Brother Axiu was always like this. He hasn't changed at all."
"..."
Listening to the words of the two sisters as if they were reminiscing about the past, Ichigo Kurosaki felt an inexplicable feeling of fear in his heart.
What's going on? Have they ever known Tsukishima before?
Why don’t you have any impression at all!?
"Sorry, did I cause you any trouble?"
Hidekuro Tsukishima looked at Kurosaki Ichigo's puzzled expression with a smile, and apologized slightly to Kurosaki Ichigo's two younger sisters.
"No...nothing!"
"Hey? Aren't we just like family? What's there to care about?"
The two sisters seemed a little confused about this.
"!"
tread--
Finally, Kurosaki Ichigo couldn't help but stepped forward and picked up Tsukishima Hidekuro's collar, "You bastard...why are you here!? What on earth...have you done!?"
"!?"
Seeing Kurosaki Ichigo's radical behavior, the faces of the two sisters on the side changed slightly.
"elder brother?"
"Ichigo-nii!?"
"Wait! Brother! What are you going to do?"
The two of them pulled at Kurosaki Ichigo's body with anxious expressions on their faces, as if trying to calm him down.
"What's wrong with you? Brother Ichigo? Brother Axiu will have trouble breathing if you do this! Let him go!"
"Are you angry because Brother Axiu came suddenly?"
"You're so weird! Ichigo-nii!"
"Youzi...Xia Li..."
Cold sweat broke out on Kurosaki Ichigo's forehead. Seeing his two close relatives questioning him about the guy in front of him, the fear in his heart became more intense.
He did not let go of Tsukishima Hidekuro's hand, but asked again: "You guy... what on earth did you do to them!?"
"It doesn't matter, Ichigo has an old-fashioned personality. He must be angry because I stayed so late, I won't care."
Who would have thought that Hidekuro Tsukishima ignored his question and even began to comfort Yuzi and Xia Li.
However, Kurosaki Ichigo saw clearly the way Tsukishima Hidekuro looked at him at this moment. The other party glanced at him casually, the look in his eyes was full of contempt.
It was unmistakable. At this moment, Kurosaki Ichigo was convinced that there was nothing wrong with his memory. The person in front of him was definitely an enemy and could not be a friend he had not seen for a long time! This guy must have done something to his two sisters!
"Answer my question! Tsukishima!"
Kurosaki Ichigo roared and questioned again.
However, at this moment, the doorbell rang.
"Ah, wanderer, go and open the door."
Tsukishima Hidekuro didn't care about Kurosaki Ichigo's threat, and even directed Kurosaki Yuzi's actions, "It should be... Mizuiro and the others are here."
Soon, as Yuzi ran to open the clinic door, one after another, Kurosaki Ichigo's very familiar voice came from downstairs.
"Axiu--we are here!"
"Wow, is Ichigo home too?"
"Yeah!"
"Hey, Ichigo! You seem to be leaving early and coming back late lately! Don't let Yuzi and Xia Li worry, do you understand?"
"..."
Kurosaki Ichigo looked at the people swarming upstairs and his expression became extremely ugly.
Longgui, Shuise, Keigo...these are his classmates and close friends from childhood to adulthood!
"I asked them to come."
At this time, Tsukishima Hidekuro's nightmare-like whisper reached Kurosaki Ichigo's ears.
He smiled and held the mobile phone in his hand to indicate, "I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss everyone so much, so I called them to come.
Don’t put on such a scary expression~ Although I’m embarrassed to call everyone here in the middle of the night, but tomorrow is Sunday, it’ll be fine. By the way… why don’t you call Sadatari and Orihime too?”
With that said, he pressed the dial button again and prepared to continue calling people as if nothing had happened.
"..."
Looking at the terrifying man in front of him, Kurosaki Ichigo's expression became extremely gloomy.
He didn't know what exactly happened, he just felt extremely scared.
It's almost two o'clock in the night now. Would ordinary friends agree to such a request and come to your home as a guest at such a late hour?
Obviously impossible.
The man in front of me didn't know what he had done to his companions, but it was obvious that everyone was bewitched by this guy!
"hateful--"
Finally, Kurosaki Ichigo couldn't help but exploded.
He mercilessly punched Tsukishima Hidekuro who was on the phone and knocked him against the wall.
"Wow!!"
"What?"
"Tsukishima!?"
"Ichigo! What are you doing?"
Shock and questioning continued to come from around me.
Kurosaki Ichigo's face became more and more ugly, and he angrily asked the man in front of him again: "Speak quickly! Tsukishima! You bastard... what have you done to everyone!?"
"Are you okay? Tsukishima?"
"Well...it's okay..."
"What do you mean it's okay? It's all bleeding!"
No one paid attention to Kurosaki Ichigo's anger. Everyone seemed to be more concerned about Tsukishima Hidekuro's injury and stepped forward to ask with concern.
But Tsukishima Hidekuro just smiled to indicate that he was fine, and looked at Kurosaki Ichigo who was forced into a desperate situation with a teasing look.
"Ichigo! What happened to you!?"
"I……"
Under the angry questioning of his companions, Kurosaki Ichigo was slightly stunned and couldn't help but take a step back.
"I……"
"I don't know what you're losing your temper about! But what are you doing to a relative you haven't seen for a long time? Apologize to Tsukishima!"
"No...I...Long Gui...he is not..."
Kurosaki Ichigo began to become nervous.
He even began to wonder if there was something wrong with his memory.
Why does everyone seem to have known the man in front of them for a long time?
Is there really something wrong with me?
"What is it not? Stop making excuses! Apologize now!"
"Ichigo!"
"elder brother!"
"Ichigo-nii!"
"What's wrong? Really... you are so weird!"
"you……"
The questioning continued.
Facing everyone's faces full of doubts and doubts, at this moment, Kurosaki Ichigo felt as if he was isolated from the entire world and completely lost.
boom--
He slammed the door and ran out as if he wanted to escape from this absurd world.
"What on earth... happened!?"
As he ran all the way, Kurosaki Ichigo kept thinking, "It's so strange. Is this... the ability of that guy Tsukishima?"
After much deliberation, he couldn't figure out what happened. He just kept running until he ran out of energy and stopped.
"Dudu——"
Just when Kurosaki Ichigo was completely confused and at a loss, a car horn sounded.
He raised his head and saw a familiar van parked in front of him.
"Ichigo? What are you doing here so late?"
It's the owner of the 'Unaya' where he works, Ikumi Unaya.
"I……"
"Let's talk after we get in the car first."
Ikumi Unaya pointed to the passenger seat.
Kurosaki Ichigo did not refuse and got into the car silently.
At this moment, he seemed to be isolated from the whole world, feeling extremely confused and desperate.
"Look carefully, you are all dirty and you don't even have any shoes on." Ikumi Ueya asked while driving, "What happened?"
"..."
Kurosaki Ichigo remained silent.
He didn't know how to explain the current situation. After all, Ikumi Unaya was just an ordinary person. Even if he said something, the other party would not be able to understand it.
Seeing that Kurosaki Ichigo didn't answer, Unaya Ikumi didn't continue to ask questions and drove quietly.
Soon, she returned to the 'Eel House' with Kurosaki Ichigo.
"Come on, drink."
After placing a cup of hot tea in front of Ichigo Kurosaki who was sitting in a daze on the sofa, Ikumi Unaya also sat down and said calmly, "Just stay here with me until you calm down. As for what happened
, you can talk about it later."
"Thank you... Ikumi."
Kurosaki Ichigo thanked him sincerely.
"It's okay." Ikumi Unaya replied calmly.
Just when Ichigo Kurosaki thought he had finally escaped from the strange world that made him despair, the doorbell rang again.
"Who is it? It's time like this. Here it is -"
Until now, Unaya Ikumi's reaction has been normal. Therefore, Kurosaki Ichigo did not think in a bad direction.
He just thought about it and thought that Unaya Ikumi could not be involved in this matter, so he was about to get up and leave.
But just when he raised his head and saw the person Ueya Ikumi led through the door, he froze in place again.
"Ichigo! That's great!"
Ikumi Unaya smiled and led Tsukishima Hidekuro to Kurosaki Ichigo, "Tsukishima is here to pick you up!"
