Return of the Mask

A week after the incident, Yukimura and Otoki's wounds are almost healed, and the tennis club is about to usher in the next match of the Kanto Tournament.

However, just two weeks before the game, Yukimura fell ill.His condition was so serious that he needed to be hospitalized. It is conceivable that he would not be able to participate in the competition.

When Yinshu heard the news, she was silent.She didn't know what kind of mood Yukimura was in when he asked her about the Soul World.

Humans are really fragile, and any kind of illness can knock them down.However, having said that, as the god of death who is already a soul, how strong can he be?

Every god of death has another self in his heart, and they may be defeated by another self at any time.

The scariest thing in the world is this, but she has already experienced such a nightmare.

"elder sister…"

Hearing the faint voice, Otoki turned his eyes away from the book and looked at Zhishu standing beside the bed.

"What's wrong?" Yinshu smiled and touched Zhishu's head.

"Sister... Is Yukimura-senpai sick?" Zhishu frowned, looking like he was about to cry, "What kind of illness is it? Is it serious? Is Yukimura-senpai unable to play during the tennis match?"

"..." Yin Shu stroked Zhi Shu's head slowly, pursed his lips, and suddenly didn't know how to speak.With a forced smile, she said, "It's not serious, it will definitely get better, huh?"

"Sister..." Zhishu opened his eyes and looked at her, "I want to go to the hospital to see Yukimura-senpai..."

She knew it would be like this.

Yinshu sighed, nodded, and put down the book in his hand.

She didn't really want to go to the hospital, either before or now.

In the past in Seireitei, as soon as she entered the fourth division, she would meet Captain Unohana. Every time she saw her, she would be terrified, because she knew that the captain was a black-bellied person.

But now, the reasons for not wanting to go to the hospital are completely different...

There are often patients who die in the Fourth Division, but the people who die there are all from the battlefield.Most of their wounds were too severe to be cured, and they could only die in the hospital beds of the fourth team.

Human hospitals are different.

The human beings who died there lived in a comfortable environment during their lifetime.There is no battlefield, no gunpowder.

As a god of death, one must fight to the death.

She insists on this.

Therefore, Yinshu felt a little powerless and disgusted by the death of human beings like this.Even the air in the hospital made her irritable.Even knowing that humans are different from Shinigami, she still couldn't control her emotions.

Bringing Zhishu to Yukimura's ward, Otoki walked to the row of chairs by the corridor and sat down, planning to wait for Zhishu to come out.

After an unknown amount of time, the door of the ward was opened.

Yinshu raised his head, only to see Monobe coming out.

She was stunned when she saw Yinshu.

"Aren't you... going in, Yinshu?"

"Not disturbing my sister is what a sister should do." Yin Shu shrugged.

"You seem to really like Zhishu?" Monobe said with a smile, and then sat next to her, "Why did the relationship suddenly become so good? I remember that you didn't like your sister very much before."

That's right, in the memory that Otoki has, Gennai Otoki hates his sister very much.

Gennai Tomoki is very popular with others and has a cheerful personality, but he is always full of confidence in himself at a young age.This is completely different from the in-source sound tree.Gennai Otoki envied her self-confidence, she couldn't believe in herself at all.

The younger sister likes the older sister, but the older sister is indifferent to the younger sister.

"You've really changed a lot, Tone Tree," Monobe laughed, "Sometimes I really feel like you're not Gennai Tone Tree at all."

Otoki looked at Monobe's side face calmly and said nothing.

Monobe turned his head to look at Yinshu, his smile faded a little.She said softly: "The me now is sometimes even a little afraid of you, Yinshu."

"Like that afternoon, you..."

But Monobe's words were interrupted.

The door of the ward was suddenly opened, and Zhishu ran out with a smile on his face, and got into Yinshu's arms.

Glancing at Monobu, Otoki stood up.

Yukimura came out after Tomoki, and smiled when he saw Otoki.

"It's getting late, you should rest well."

After saying goodbye to Yukimura, Otoki, Monobe, and Kazuki turned around to leave.

However, before taking a few steps, a voice behind her suddenly stopped her.

"Source!"

Stopping, Otoki turned his head to look at Yukimura with some doubts.

He smiled and said, "The place Gennai mentioned is so scary, I don't seem to have the courage to go there yet, so..."

"Thank you for your concern."

Walking out of the hospital, Zhishu tugged on Layinshu's sleeve.

Yinshu lowered his head.

"Sister, what is Yukimura-senpai talking about?"

Yin Shu smiled and said, "He's talking about Zhi Shu's dream."

Tomoki's eyes widened in disbelief, and then he said aggrievedly: "—Eh? Sister, is Zhiki's dream so scary? Even Yukimura-senpai didn't have the courage to go in?"

Yinshu laughed and patted her on the head.

Perhaps the most touching thing about being a human being is that even in a desperate situation, you still have the consciousness to face reality and have the courage to fight for yourself and those around you.

As soon as he arrived at school the next day, Yinshu found something strange.

Wherever she went, the students around her seemed hostile to her.

This hostility came inexplicably.Thinking about it, Yinshu didn't seem to have offended anyone, right?

The morning training of the tennis club seems to have just ended, and when he was about to enter the teaching building, Otoki bumped into Marui Bunta.

"Did you do that?" He wiped the sweat off his face with a towel and asked casually.

Yinshu frowned. "whats the matter?"

"That's the one," he looked at the sky and thought for a while, "ah, that's the one, Liu said that many students around said that he didn't know who said it..."

Yinshu wanted to interrupt the person in front of him...

"The fall down the stairs was caused by you accidentally. The Monobe Chidori's family happened to deal with the Cotaya family's company, so by the way, they used your incident to hit their family."

Yinshu was taken aback.After a moment of silence, she asked with a smile, "What did the Department of Objects say?"

Marui shrugged. "I only heard about this in the morning. Chidori never comes to the tennis club during morning training."

"Really," Tone Tree scratched his messy hair impatiently, waved his hands and turned around, "Then thank you for telling me about it."

"Hey! And oh, they said that Mitani was once bullied by some school girls who admired you!" Marui shouted loudly behind her.

Some students around heard his words, and immediately focused their gazes. There was silence in the hall of the teaching building, and only Yinshu said as if he had heard some joke: "They said so? Worship my students?"

Marui looked her up and down, then raised his chin, and said proudly: "At least you are absolutely inferior to this genius!"

"It's just about tennis."

"What did you say?"

"Well... nothing..."

Otoki has every reason to believe that Fumta Marui would not have shown absolute trust in her if the rumor hadn't involved Chidori Monobe.At least as far as she knows, everyone in the tennis club welcomes Chidori Monobe, after all, she is really a good person in front of people.

Only, in front of people.

Entering the classroom, the classmates still read or chat early as before, but Yinshu can feel that the atmosphere is completely different.

As soon as she sat down on the seat, Monobe walked up to her and handed her a cup of hot milk tea.

"Have you heard about that incident?" She asked after taking a sip of hot milk tea.

Yinshu smiled. "Marui Bunta has already reported to me early in the morning."

"He's well-informed," Monobe curled his lips disdainfully, "I probably got it from Liu."

"It sounds like Liu is a very powerful person?"

"Ah, almost all the latest materials in the school come from him."

"Oh? Really."

Monobe Chidori glanced at Yinshu, as if mentioning it casually, asked casually: "Who do you think did this?"

Tone Tree shrugged.

"Do you think... it will be Misayachi West?" Monobe narrowed his eyes, and there was a trace of coldness in his eyes.

Yinshu smiled, looking directly into her eyes. "Really? It seems that we have the same idea."

Mobu was a little surprised. "You... feel the same way?"

"At least," Yin Shu said calmly after sorting out the books, "There are only a few girls who would suspect and frame an ordinary girl casually, and would do such boring things."

Monobe's body froze.

Putting down the milk tea, she looked at Yinshu and said softly: "After you change, few people will think you are an ordinary person."

"That's their wishful thinking." Stopping what he was doing, Toneki looked at her coldly, and pointed out unceremoniously, "What did you want to tell me last night?" Tired of it already, pointing it out might be the quickest way to end it all.

Monobe straightened up, frowning slightly.

"Want to say, actually that afternoon, did you come out after Yukimura and see everything and hear all the conversations?"

Monobe's face turned pale, and she bit her lower lip tightly.

"But you don't actually understand what's going on, do you?"

"You are not the sound tree in the source."

Yinshu smiled and said: "No, I am Yuannai Yinshu, and my name is Yuannai Yinshu."

Monobe Chidori brought his head closer, and whispered: "Then, why did you tell Yukimura that you are not Gennai Otoki? In order to attract his attention? You actually just changed your target by giving up Sanada?"

Stepping back a little, Yinshu's tone was somewhat disdainful. "Are these the only things in your life?"

She sat on her seat and glanced around.

"To be honest, no matter it was the matter that you found Miantu as a scapegoat, or the fact that you found a few so-called school girls who admired me to bully Miantu to frame me, or even the rumors that are spreading today, it doesn't mean anything to me at all. No effect, do you believe it?"

Monobe looked at her coldly. "You want to say that what I think has always been wishful thinking on my part?"

"That's exactly what it means." Yinshu said with a smile.

After a moment of silence, Monobe glanced at her and left her seat.

The moment they passed each other, Yinshu heard only one sentence.

"Whether those things will affect you, you will always know."
