[Death · Bailu] Flower Story

"Gloria [1], why don't you wear that white, ugly one like some dudes..."

"Masquerade."

"Oh! Why don't you wear a mask? No, there are white ones here too..." The soft little hand stroked the forehead of the mother next to her, where there were three remnants of the mask in the shape of a six-pointed star, "The shape of this star is so beautiful, Much prettier than the ones in the sky."

"By the way, Gloria, why can't we live in the forest before?"

"...Bellalor [2], do you like masks?"

How could he, who was still young at that time, understand the sudden flash of water in his pupils when his mother, who usually didn't change her expression in the face of continuous attacks?

So he could only suppress the questions that surged in his heart, and bury himself in that cold but warm embrace again.

"...I just like Gloria."

"Wow——" The man in the Japanese room who was in a daze facing the constantly spinning amethyst suddenly got up, and the long dress trailing behind him left a heavy shadow on the tatami.

Gloria, the only trace you left in this world is the name that remains in my mind.

I've waited so long that I've almost forgotten it.

The slender hand caressed the smooth and full forehead, and the fingertips slowly slid down along the eyebrows, and the place where it touched was soft and greasy.Except for the too pale complexion and too gorgeous lips, this face is no different from other souls in the spirit world.

"Gloria, even if I told you then that I like masks, my whole life might just be what I am now."

Due to the severe lack of pigment, his almost transparent long fingers finally touched the huge spar under the purple light, and the man raised the corners of his lips to show a weeping smile.

"This is the six-pointed formation you like. I still remember that you used this formation to borrow the power of the last fifty watts of Stodd, and pushed me into this future."

When the long-lost sunlight pierced through the cracks in the clouds and sprinkled on the drizzle-drenched Confession Palace, the gods of death who were routinely patrolling Seireitei or suppressing riots in Ruukon Street were all shocked by the purple light rising from the surroundings instantly. I was stunned for a moment.

What shocked them even more was that the irrational civilians who had been imprisoned by the spirit circle and could not move at this time slowly blurred their outlines like snowmen exposed to sunlight in winter, and gradually dissipated into shining spots of light , Floating towards the center of Seiling Court like falling star sand.

At that time, she had just picked up the awn flower stained with rain and dew beside her, and she was staring blankly at Rukia behind her, but she was shocked by this beautiful and strange scene, and then she silently recalled the scene. A white and soft awn flower was tucked into the armhole, and the hood of the cloak was lowered. Under the gaze of many gods of death under the cliff, they turned back and disappeared into the void with more and more light spots.

It is also those brighter and brighter purple lights and gradually converging light spots that make a figure follow the melting slender figure at an almost decisive speed without alarming anyone, and disappear together in the distance. Come to the ever-brighter Penitent Palace.

After a long time, someone discovered that the rotating light ball in front of the confession palace, which was expanding rapidly due to the disappearance of more and more people, did not know when it slowed down. People who thought they were doomed, most of them escaped in the end.

Of course, this is all for later.

"Did-di-di-di-di-"

The huge instrument that occupies most of the laboratory is making a sharp cry at this moment.At the same time, the rows of buttons on the milky white case are also flashing with various lights in a mess.Nirvana quietly walked forward with a pure white airtight container in her arms, and after putting it securely into the instrument, she nodded to Nirvana who was grinning beside her with bright eyes.

"Director, the unknown space that is rapidly approaching the outer protective shield of Seireitei has been located!"

"Very good, just take this opportunity to try it—" Nirvana Yuri rested her chin with one hand and showed a cute expression, and pressed the trigger button without hesitation while twisting her orchid fingers with the other hand.

"...Let's leave the next thing over there to that guy from Kuchiki's family with eyes above the top. Otonashi, Otonashi, I've been holding back things to deal with the dust of those void crystals, I've been holding back for a long time."

"Young Master Baizai, oh, now you are the head of the Kuchiki Patriarch, it's been a long time."

When Byakuya Kuchiki recovered from the sudden shock in the space and the subsequent huge impact and the dizziness of the fall, the first thought that came to mind was how to go back and deal with this simple and rude problem Nirvana cocoon.

Then he raised his gray-purple pupils, looked at the man in front of him who was completely unfamiliar except for his voice, "Where is Rukia?"

"Oh hehehe, I see that you are still as joking as before - where is your sister, naturally, you, a dedicated brother, know best..." In front of him was a man dressed in a thick black silk drape with pine and crane patterns , Covering half of his face with his wide sleeves, he flew to Bai Zai with a "friendly look", but in exchange for the usually calm and calm Patriarch Kuchiki, he blocked Senbon Sakura's sword with one hand.

"...Your Excellency Bai Zai, please don't get excited," the man put down the wide sleeves covering his face, his pine and crane pattern embroidered with a slender luster reflecting the flickering purple light in the distance, "Of course we can protect your sister's safety." Guaranteed, a rare meeting is worse than a short talk."

After finishing his sentence, he actually ignored the thousand cherry blossoms in Bai Zai's hand, and Fuzhou just turned around and walked towards the short couple behind him, with a leisurely attitude as if the current moment of saber-rattling was just a drink invited by the nobles in March of Cherry Blossoms. feast.

"Zhou Fusang, no, it should be His Royal Highness Fu Zhou," keenly caught the slightly stagnant smile of the person in front of him, and Bai Zai, who was already kneeling opposite the man, still had a troubled face, "Identity is a mystery, The prince who has been imprisoned for a long time is also a traitor who caused riots and slaughtered blood relatives. I, Kuchiki Byakuya, think that there are not many people." He paused, looking at the black mist swirling in the eyes of the man with white face and red lips in front of him, his tone could not help but With some imperceptible emotion, "Why are you like this?"

how so.

Previously, the eyes of Fuzhou were almost completely covered, but at this time, the black mist that unexpectedly dissipated due to the sentence "old friend" caught Bai Zai's attention.However, before he could make any guesses, he found that the expression of the person in front of him was twisted like a convulsion.

how so.

When he saw his mother taking his young self to avoid the endless attacks and predation in the Great Void Forest, no one told him why.

When he saw with his own eyes that his mother, who was originally so strong and perverted, fell lonely and annihilated into ashes in front of the closed portal, no one told him why.

"Your Excellency Bai Zai, our mother is a natural Pomian. The offal that Aizen created with Bengyu is simply a disgrace to Pomian."

The sleepy words sounded like thunder in Bai Zai's ears.

how so.

When he was brought back to the royal court by that man, he was imprisoned in a small Japanese room and suffered cold eyes and bullying from the palace people. No one told him why.

When he finally got a little understanding of human affairs, and learned from the man who claimed to be his "father" that his mother was a shabby face, no one told him why.

"I have lived for nearly 400 years, and most of them were imprisoned in the forbidden area of ​​the royal court. We have experienced the warmth and coldness of human relationships, but we still don't understand what kind of fate caused the two parents to meet."

When he was looking forward to the impossible embrace countless times in the secluded Japanese room, when he was in the forbidden area because he was not used to the spiritual power of the royal court and his life was hanging by a thread, when his father created the virtual crystal for him but hand-crafted it. Set up an enchantment outside your own living room...

No one told him why.

"Your Excellency Bai Zai, do you know why the blood of the royal family has withered so far?"

Byakuya looked at the eyes that had been completely covered by the black mist in front of him, the colorless white face and the red lips that were dripping with blood, just like the Noh performances in those idle years when the nobles were having banquets. The mask worn when his obsession and obsession turned into a ghost.

Under a few tables, the slender fingers gently held Qianben Sakura by her side.

"It's going to be a secret forever—"

"Swastika solution, final scene, Baidi sword."

When Rukia woke up from the coma caused by the huge shock and the subsequent explosion and impact, the familiar arms that protected her before had disappeared.

The surroundings are no longer the scene when she just entered this space. At that time, the only path in the vast water reflecting the starlight, and the hexagrams scattered on the pure black sky shocked her so much that she forgot to move. .

Just when she finally came to her senses and stepped on Shunpo and was about to reach the end of the path, a huge shock and the ensuing monstrous waves caught her off guard and fell into the nearby water.

Faced with this sudden change, the first reaction that came to her mind was—whether the shock just now was due to the opening of the outer protective cover of the Seiling Court.

Only then did she realize that she hadn't touched the water surface, but fell head to foot quickly in the void that turned completely black in an instant.

Brother, do you have hallucinations when the blood rushes to your brain?

In front of my eyes is the green pine wind surging several months ago. At that time, the fragrance of flowers and water mixed with the bitter fragrance of pine and cypress could still be heard clearly. How could the world be empty and desolate in a blink of an eye.

Rukia closed her eyes for a moment and opened them again to confirm the authenticity of the feeling of being surrounded and the breath in her ears.

"Brother, why are you here?" Rukia thought complainingly as she lowered her head and blinked her sore eyes because the fluttering hair tip caught her eyes.

"...My girl loves to make trouble too much, so of course I have to watch it in person to be at ease."

"But...but..."

Then she felt a little pressure in the back of her head, followed by a soft touch on her forehead that made her feel dazed for a moment, and then came the deep voice that appeared in her mind countless times: "I Don't avoid people's eyes, but look at the miscanthus flowers. 【3】”

Until a bigger shock and explosion caused her to lose consciousness, Rukia could only widen her eyes in shock, engraving in her heart the gentle expression on the brows and eyes of the man who was hugging her tightly and gradually slowing down.

In fact, she wanted to tell him that this half waka was enough.

Rukia galloped among the sliding doors and corridors, struggling to distinguish the direction and Bai Zai's breath.Everywhere is dark and empty, and every sliding door opens a different scene.

Before arriving at this building, she had run in the endless silver desert without friends or enemies.The silence and emptiness were like the dreams that repeatedly disturbed her in early spring.

Fortunately, the eldest brother who was drifting away in the dream will finally not appear.

Earlier, she had passed through the Forest of Daxu, inhabited by the slow and clumsy Killian and the humanoid Daxu who bit each other, and she finally rushed out of the deep forest under the cover of the cloak without any danger.

In this way, she ran tirelessly all the way, searching all the way, until the light and shadow changes in the Japanese room in front of her startled her.

That's... my sister? !

How can it be?

The moment she raised her foot to chase after her, a hand touched her shoulder.

"Shh - Rukia, don't be afraid."

She finally let go of all the uneasiness and vigilance since she woke up, just like when she heard this voice during countless battles in the past ten years, she turned around with a smile.

"Ichigo, you're here."

[3] From "Ancient and Modern Waka Collection" love song one.The last two sentences are "Flower spikes bloom for a while, and passionate love has no boundaries." So Minnasang realized some magic horses? ?

I struggled all day, didn't do anything, and the result of writing the article was 0.0... I admire myself for my scumbag speed. . .Sure enough, Bai Zai, you look like your mother, A Zong, is about to shed her skin. . .The writing is so subtle, and I have to worry about whether Min Nasang will think that A Zong, the painstaking confessionist, has written Bai Zai too unrestrainedly, so he tosses himself by scribbling, changing, deleting, and deleting...

There is also this super sad man, whether it is possible not to steal the spotlight and take up such a large space, so I deleted, deleted, edited and found that Nirvana accidentally entered again. . .A Zong is really one head and two big...

So until now I have only squeezed out a chapter of finished products that I can see past. Dear friends, I have been waiting for a long time. I am happy to read the article. A Zong will go slowly and think about the ending by the way~~~
