Return of the Mask

After school, as soon as he walked out of the school gate, Yinshu saw Kinoshita Erlang who was still hiding beside the tree.She can see him almost every day these days... Although she told him that this would affect her work, this kind of rhetoric didn't seem to be able to persuade him to go back...

The whole school has gradually gotten used to this situation, so the strange eyes staring at them at the beginning gradually decreased.

But...things seem a little different today...

Yin Shu looked at Uesugi Tensuke who was entwined with Kinoshita Erlang, and couldn't help but want to sigh.

"Sorry, God help him..." A helpless voice came from behind.

Yin Shu turned his head and saw Hashiba Ryogo walking over with a headache on his face.

"What's going on with him," Yinshu raised his eyebrows and said, "Does he think it's okay to figure out all of that kind of thing?"

"This... may be true for him," Hashiba Ryogo sighed and said, looking at the two people under the tree, "For such unknown creatures, everyone will regard them as enemies from the beginning , and the way to make yourself feel at ease is to know the enemy... Isn't it?"

"Is the unknown creature the enemy..." Yinshu's voice gradually dropped.

Hashiba Ryogo was taken aback for a moment, then lowered his head, only to see Yinshu looking at the two people under the tree indifferently.

"What, what's wrong?"

"No...it's okay..."

"Sister!!" A crisp voice came from not far away.

Yin Shu turned around, only to see Zhi Shu running towards her with a smile.

Smiling, after saying goodbye to Hashiba Ryogo, Otoki walked over to Tomoki.

When I got home and finished my homework, it was time for dinner.

"Huh? Tennis match in a week's time?" Gennai's mother was surprised when she heard Zhishu's words.

"En!" Zhishu nodded and said excitedly, "There is only one weekend, can I go, mom?"

"If it's a weekend," Gennai's father rubbed his chin and frowned, "then we'll have to spend the night outside... No! Chiki! How can I rest assured that you go to dad alone!!!" Said and crossed He got out of the dining table and hugged Zhishu's head, crying.

The corner of Yinshu's mouth twitched, and he decided to remain silent.

"But, but!" Zhishu also began to sob after hearing such words, "But Zhishu really wants to go!"

"My dear, what are you doing!" Seeing these two people hugging each other and crying, Gennai's mother was a little at a loss, and couldn't help blaming the people sitting next to her.

"The tennis match that Zhiki said was a match between Tachikai Junior High School and Rika Junior High School," Otoki wiped his mouth and said after finishing the dinner, "Yukimura and the others will go there together, so don't worry. "Yin Shu frowned and glanced at the man sitting across from him who was a father but was crying without image.

"But! But!" Someone who was cast a contemptuous glance by her stood up excitedly, and broke down with her head in her arms, "Those tennis players are all men!"

"It's a boy!" Yuannai's mother said helplessly.

"They're all males anyway, it's too dangerous to put Zhishu among them!" Gennai's father resolutely said.

Yinshu laughed at him and said: "You are also a male, Dad, Zhishu, you have to be careful with him in the future, it's too dangerous." Then "tsk tsk".

Zhishu hugged her hand, and looked at Gennai's father timidly.

"Yinshu!! How can you say that about me, Dad!"

"Honey, you made Zhishu cry!" Gennai's mother disagreed.

"Uh... eh? Chi-chichi! Oh, don't cry, it's my father's fault..."

Sighing, Gennai's mother looked at Yinshu and said worriedly: "Yinshu, do you know what's going on?"

Yinshu shook his head.

"It should be nothing special. Didn't Zhishu go out with a group of them before? No problem."

"Really..." Gennai's mother pondered, then suddenly raised her head and said, "Why don't you follow Yinshu, I'm still not at ease when Zhishu goes alone."

"Huh?" Yin Shu was taken aback.

Frowning, she was about to refuse when a question suddenly occurred to her.

"That... Zhishu, the place where they competed is Karakura Town?"

Zhishu nodded.

Yinshu rested his chin on his hand, thinking deeply.

Even though it's a weekend...but maybe we can meet Hirako and the others...

"Well, okay, I'll go with Zhishu."

After dinner, Otoki told the Gennai couple that he wanted to go to the supermarket to buy something, and went out.

Open the door of the house, walk to the small street near the door, turn around and see Kinoshita Jiro leaning against the wall.

"Deputy, deputy captain?"

"I knew you would be here." Glancing at him, Yinshu turned and left.

Kinoshita Jiro rushed over behind her.

"Ah... It's hard to be able to act together with the vice-captain." Erlang Kinoshita smiled while touching his head.

"Go to and from school with me? Is this the action you expected?" Yin Shu laughed.

"Eh?" Kinoshita Erlang was taken aback when he heard Yinshu's words, "Vice Captain, are you... intending to continue like this?"

Yinshu was silent for a while.

"Captain Yamamoto has no intention of letting me return to Goutei [-]. It is more suitable for me to return to the present world. As for when I can stop this kind of life..." After a pause, she said softly, "Actually It's almost over..."

"What... mean?" Kinoshita Jiro asked doubtfully.

The two of them walked slowly along the quiet street.

There was no one on the road.

Although it was a summer night, it was still dark at this time, and the street lights on the street were turned on.

"Does the vice-captain mean that you will be able to return to Seireitei soon?"

Yinshu shook his head.

"That is……"

"Don't ask so many questions," Otoki said wearily, and Otoki glanced at him, "And even if I can never return to Seireitei, it's okay to be like Yoruichi and Urahara Kisuke."

Kinoshita Jiro frowned, and said in a deep voice, "What does the vice-captain mean? 'You can never return to Seireitei'? Did something happen to you?"

Yinshu sneered, didn't answer, but quickened his pace.

Soon, the two walked to the street.

The sound of car horns and the noise from both sides of the street quickly reached the ears of the two of them.

Yinshu crossed the road to the opposite side, and Kinoshita Jiro just followed her silently.

"In this competition, our Lihuazhong will definitely win your Lihaida!"

"Tch, wait until the end of the world!"

"What did you say?!"

"Hey, stop arguing..."

"Pfft, it looks like you have a good relationship in the eyes of others."

"Who has a good relationship with him!"

"Who has a good relationship with him!"

The two who were arguing suddenly turned their heads and stared at Nioh who was making sarcastic remarks.

With a helpless sigh, Hashiba Ryogo said: "But now there is only Kirihara Chiya left in Likai Junior High School?"

"Ah, it seems that Yukimura's former junior high school tennis team led by Yukimura has a deep impression on other people's minds," Nioh said with a smile, "Why do you think that there will be no more talented players at Ritsukai University, Hashiba classmate?"

Hashiba Ryogo looked at him slightly surprised.

"Likai will not lose!" Hearing the conversation between the two, Marui Fumta turned his head and stared fiercely at Hashiba Ryogo and said.The latter stared helplessly at him.

"Tch, don't cry to your mother when you lose." Uesugi Tensuke turned his head away after saying this disdainfully.

Suddenly, he froze for a moment and stopped.

Noticing the strangeness of his companion, Hashiba Ryogo walked up to him and asked, "What's wrong?"

Uesugi Tensuke pointed to the center of the street.

A group of people looked over and saw a girl they were very familiar with and an uncle who had been wandering around the school gate for the past few days crossed the street and walked into a dark alley, and the four of them suddenly had different expressions.

After turning into the alley, Yinshu stopped.

Kinoshita Jiro finally noticed something, stopped, and looked at Yinshu with a frown.

Turning around, Yinshu crossed his arms and looked at him coldly.

"Did you see that person today?"

"……what."

"Have you reported this matter?"

Kinoshita Jiro was taken aback.For a long time, he lowered his head and shook his head.

After looking at him for a long time, Yinshu said slowly: "Is the captain sent you to monitor me?"

Kinoshita Erlang was startled, and after a long while, he smiled in frustration: "Vice Captain, you really found out a long time ago, right?"

"No."

"……what?"

"I just found out today," Yinshu paused, took a deep breath, and said, "I was thinking about other things a few days ago, so I didn't find out. I just noticed it today." Opening her mouth, she wanted to say What, but after a long time, he finally swallowed the words back.

"sorry, I……"

Frowning, Yinshu interrupted him.

"The captain also sent someone to monitor Kurosaki Ichigo?"

"I don't know." Kinoshita Jiro said with his head down.

Yinshu looked at him expressionlessly for a long time, let out a breath, folded his arms around his chest, raised his eyebrows and said coolly: "I'll give you three seconds to think, if you don't say anything, I can beat you until you say it," After a pause, she said coldly, "What news did Jing Lingting get?"

Kinoshita Jiro opened his mouth, as if hesitating.

After being silent for a long time, he looked up at Yinshu's face, finally sighed, and said in a low voice: "Vice Captain...do you still remember the appearance of your mask when you blurred?"

Yinshu didn't expect him to ask this question, so he froze for a while.After thinking for a moment, she frowned and said, "How can I remember such a thing?"

At that time, because the aura was completely forced out, she removed the aura because of lack of physical strength after she finished fighting Dongxian Yao, and she didn't have the energy to pay attention to the mask on her face during the whole process.

But when it comes to the mask when blurring, it should be the same as Kenxi and the others when blurring, right?

"Is it the same type of mask that covers the entire face like normal Holi?"

However, after a long time, Kinoshita Jiro shook his head.

"Actually, I... went back to Seilingting after you returned to this world."

Yinshu frowned, quietly waiting for him to speak.

"Then, because I was a little confused about this mission, I did some research. In fact, there is no way to investigate why Seireitei suspected the captain. The news was all accidental, because Captain Unokana Said that the deputy captain, your spiritual pressure completely broke out when you fought with Dongxian Yao and Aizen," he paused, scratched his hair, and said with a sigh of relief, "So, I went to ask about these two battles. Renji Asai, who has seen it all."

Yinshu was taken aback.

"A Sanjing said that he saw your aura. Captain Kuchiki felt your spiritual pressure at that time, so he asked A Sanjing about this matter, and he reported the situation truthfully."

With a bad feeling in his heart, Yinshu couldn't help but clenched his fists.

"Listen, I heard." After a pause, Kinoshita Jiro glanced at her, and said, "The mask you wear when you avatar is different from the mask Kurosaki Ichigo used when he avatar."

"Kurosaki Ichigo's mask covers the entire face, which is the same type of mask as the general Kon, but yours, the vice-captain, is an incomplete mask."

"I heard from A Sanjing that your mask only covered half of your face."

Yinshu's mind was empty.

"I think the vice-captain was also killed in that incident 100 years ago, and what kind of mask should appear in the normal virtualization, the vice-captain... should understand..."

"..."

Yin Shu took two steps back and leaned against the wall, his face pale.

"Half mask..." she murmured.

Ha... what is this...

Of course she remembered the mask of Kenshi Fukuro, and she also remembered the mask of Fukuro who was an unfinished product of Aizen's experiment...

What the hell is this?

Is she a ghost or a god of death? !

"Vice Captain, you..."

"Hello, Kinoshita Jiro."

Kinoshita Erlang was taken aback: "...Vice Captain?"

Yinshu leaned against the wall, raised his head, and looked at the night sky in the alley.

"Do I have a bad taste?"

"...Ah, yes."

"Have you discovered it long ago?"

"……what."

"As a Grim Reaper, do you think I'm a ghost or a Grim Reaper now?"

"vice captain……"

Kinoshita Jiro looked at Yinshu and remained silent for a long time.

He scratched at his tangled hair, then sighed and stood up straight.

"As a god of death, he has enough ability to judge whether a soul is void, and the vice-captain probably doesn't need my answer."

Yin Shu was startled and looked at him.

"It's rare to see the vice-captain look so confused," Kinoshita Jiro said with a "haha" smile, "but if it's the vice-captain, he must be able to figure it out."

"The person wearing the death costume is not necessarily the god of death. This sentence is said by the vice-captain. To judge a person, shouldn't you believe in your own feelings after getting along with the other party for a long time? I... believe in the vice-captain."

Pursing his lips and looking away from him, Yinshu lowered his head and remained silent.

However, at this moment, there were some small sounds behind them.

The two exchanged glances, turned around at the same time, and frowned.
