25 The blood-bathed bird, the sea of ??fire and the glaciers
The first areas in the east, west, north and south of Rukongai are all very close to Seireitei, so Kibuneri and Tachibana Shikyo arrived at Junlinan very quickly:
I saw that the houses here are simple, mostly one-story low wooden houses with thatched roofs, and the appearance is very much like an ancient modern village.
However, the streets and alleys are clean, surrounded by green grass and trees, and there are many rivers and lakes, so the residents here have no worries about food and clothing, and their life is very comfortable!
Kibuneri's previous home was a dilapidated and decaying old house on the west side of Runlinan Tanshu Street. It was originally the place where he and his parents depended on each other——
About 50 years ago, Kifuri's parents both passed away. From then on, his only remaining relatives in the world were his childhood sweetheart Saori. The two lived together, foraged together, and grew up together...
It wasn't until more than three months ago that they "picked up" Tachibana Kyo who was unconscious on the roadside while foraging for food, and then embarked on the long journey to become the God of Death together——
But without seeing a few words, Tachibana Shikyo suddenly discovered that Saori was lying on the tatami in front of the door, using a brush to copy calligraphy on a copybook?
"Hey! Saori!"
When Kifuri was far away, he saw Saori trying to figure out someone's calligraphy. He felt very uncomfortable, so he opened his mouth with a sense of resentment——
"Oh! Ali! Shi Jingjun! You are back!"
Saori got up from the tatami, waved to Tachibana Kyo and Kifune, "Come here quickly, I'll introduce some friends to you!"
Kifune walked over angrily, kicked away the calligraphy stickers on the tatami, then sat down with his arms crossed: "Who cares to know your friend!"
"Ali! Stop losing your temper!"
Saori picked up the calligraphy post and put it away, then glanced at Tachibana Shikyo, and greeted into the house: "Yongyin! Hanada! Tatsuma-kun! Come and see who is here!"
"Tachibana-kun!" Hanatarō Yamada, who had a low eyebrow and a pleasant look, poked his head out of the room and said to Tachibana Kyo with a shy expression, "Long time no see!"
"Long time no see! Yamada!" Kyo Tachibana was quite excited to see Hanataro Yamada, because the latter is most likely the only kind-hearted Shinigami in "Bleach".
"Don't stand in my way, Hanataro!"
Kotetsu Yuune raised his right foot and kicked Yamada Hanatarō to the ground, and then said to Tachibana Kyo with a smile:
"Oh hello Tachibana Ukyo! We haven't seen you for a few months, and you are becoming more and more handsome!"
"Yes!"
As if she had discovered a new world, Saori stared at Tachibana Kyo for a long time before praising her:
"Yongyin, if you didn't tell me, I really wouldn't have noticed! Shi Jingjun has really become different from before!"
"cut!"
Kibuneri jumped up from the ground like a Persian cat whose tail was stepped on, and muttered dissatisfiedly towards Saori and Kotetsu Yuine: "When did you... become blind?! This guy -"
Halfway through his words, Kifuri suddenly realized something. He turned back and stared at Tachibana Seokkyo for a while before saying calmly:
"It seems that he has really changed a lot...but when he was in class a few days ago, he was still in that annoying dead look..."
"Oh! This is probably the jealousy between men, right?" Saori covered her mouth and snickered.
"What a shame! I'm not jealous! I just think it's abnormal for a man to be as beautiful as a woman!"
"Okay, okay! Just smooth it over, don't be scared~"
Saori rubbed Kifuri's brown hair and said softly: "Then Yongin and I are going to prepare lunch. Ali must entertain his friends!"
"Hey! This young master doesn't need any friends!"
Kifuri turned his head and stopped talking to Saori. The latter secretly winked at Tachibana Shikyo, and then went to prepare dinner with Kotetsu Yuune.
Tachibana Seokyo had long known that Kifuri was a tsundere with a cold face and a warm heart, so it was not surprising that the latter would behave like this.
He sat down on the tatami and stared blankly at the horizon. At the right time, the sun rose three o'clock in the sky, and large swaths of orange sunlight spread on the streets of Runlin'an——
I saw the blond boy Fujiwara Tatsuma and the red-haired girl Ah-Dai walking hand in hand from the entrance of Runlinan against the orange sunshine...
"Good afternoon, Mr. Tachibana!"
Fujiwara Tatsuma greeted the dazed Tachibana Kyo with a smile: "Sure enough, I guessed it right... You... are also a guy who is unwilling to be lonely!"
"What are you talking about?"
Tachibana Shikyo frowned, not understanding what Fujiwara Tatsuma meant. He turned his head and glanced at Ah-Dai, and then said to the latter: "Why are you here too?"
"I--"
As soon as Fujiwara Tatsuma opened his mouth, he saw Kotetsu Yuune showing half of his body from the room next to him and shouting to Tachibana Shikyo: "Tatsuma was invited by me, and we have known each other for a long time!"
"Oh!" Tachibana Shikyo looked at the smiling Fujiwara Tatsuma in front of him in slight surprise. He really didn't expect that this guy would have such a deep friendship with the future deputy captain of the Fourth Division——
"Tachibana!" Fujiwara Tatsuma sat down on Tachibana Shikyo's right hand, then looked at the bright sun on the horizon and asked in a low voice: "You have already condensed the Zanpakutō, right?"
"What the hell?!"
Tachibana Shikyo was shocked. He had just obtained the Zanpakutō last night, but Fujiwara knew about it this morning? What happened?!
"Stop making such a fuss! Tachibana!"
Fujiwara Tatsuma glanced at the Zanpakuto under Tachibana Kyo's arm, and a strange light flashed in his eyes:
"But I'm curious, is your Fire Sea chess better, or is my Glacier better? What... do you think? Tachibana?"
"..." Tachibana Shikyo realized that Fujiwara Tatsuma seemed to simply want to compete with him and had no other bad intentions, so he lowered his head and muttered:
Fujiwara Tatsuma's Zanpakutō is Qingluan. From his mouth, I learned that it seems to be an ice-type Zanpakutō, which coincides with his own fire-type Zanpakutō, Fire Phoenix——
Although the name Qingluan Huofeng has a sense of CP, Tachibana Ishikyo confirms that he is a straight man and will never let the trend of being arrogant happen to him and Fujiwara Tatsuma!
So, if he wants to fight, let’s fight!
Tachibana Shikyo also had endless fighting spirit in his eyes. He also wanted to test his strength by fighting against the so-called "genius" Fujiwara Tatsuma!
However, when he thought that the fluctuations in spiritual pressure caused by the battle would attract the prying eyes of the powerful members of the Seireitei, his reason finally suppressed Tachibana Shikyo's heart.
He had no choice but to suppress his excitement and asked in a low voice: "Actually, I'm more curious, how did you know?"
"King's Seal!"
Fujiwara Tatsuma lay down lazily on the wooden board, and then said with a relaxed look:
"I left the power of the King's Seal on you that night, so your changes in spiritual pressure cannot escape my eyes!"
"turn out to be--"
Tachibana Shikyo thought of the sixteen-petal black chrysanthemum left by a crow on his chest that night, and felt very angry:
"You invaded my privacy! I will report you asshole when I get back! Let the royal agent lurking in Jinglingting kill you!!"
"snort!"
Fujiwara Tatsuma turned over gracefully on the ground, then waved his hand and said: "Whatever you want, Tachibana! I just want to remind you that now you...have already boarded my pirate ship!"
"..." Tachibana Shikyo knows that Fujiwara Tatsuma is referring to the fact that he has the royal seal on his body. If he reports Fujiwara Tatsuma, he will also be targeted by royal agents!
Even though he was furious at this moment, he still felt helpless. He could only lie on the wooden board angrily and said to Tatsuma Fujiwara in an almost whispering voice: "I accept your challenge, when?"
"tonight!"
"Where?"
"Go all the way out of this courtyard to the end, where there is a small river!"
"Okay!" Tachibana Shikyo sat up again, stared at Fujiwara Tatsuma's back, gritted his molar teeth and said, "I will make it impossible for you to take care of yourself by then!"
“Each other!”
After Fujiwara Tatsuma finished speaking, he remembered something again and said to Tachibana Kyo: "You don't have to worry about the reiatsu riot - I will use the king's seal to open up space and move us to other places! So..."
"So?" Tachibana Shikyo glanced sideways at Fujiwara Tatsuma, already guessing what the latter wanted to say——
"So, feel free to release all your power!"
Fujiwara Tatsuma stared at Tachibana Kyo with burning eyes and said word by word:
"No matter where that power comes from, I will tell you with strength!
You sparks of fire can only surrender under my monstrous glacier! Kishikyo!"
"cut!"
Tachibana Shikyo firmly grasped the handle of the Zanpakutō Fire Phoenix, and the flames in his eyes were burning:
Chapter completed!
