[Comprehensive] If you don't agree with one word, you will dry the boat
Chapter 44 Caught off guard by a mouthful of dog food
At the end of this annoying summer, the new store of Manfuya has finally been renovated, and the only thing left is to decorate the storefront.
Zhou Jianwen, who was only in charge of funding from the beginning and left all problems to Bai Lan, naturally did not intervene in this step.
On the one hand, this new store can be said to be Bai Lan's painstaking effort. She didn't worry about it from the beginning, why should she point and point at the end to make people annoying; Rufiore uniform does not talk about words.
Bai Lan also accepted Zhou Jianwen's personality, but as Zhou Jianwen's boss, she had to take care of some things even if she didn't want to, such as...
"When will it open..."
Zhou Jianwen shook her fan to drive away the last trace of heat, Bai Lan's topic changed too quickly, and it took her a few seconds to realize what he was referring to after being dazzled by the late summer heat.
Bai Lan, who finally didn't have to run errands for the past two days, was enjoying the ice products specially provided by Mansune's house. This was his suggestion to the steward of a certain dessert shop at the regular meeting of Mansune's house in the early years.
The other party was still a little reluctant at the time, but finally adopted this suggestion because of Zhou Jianwen's face. Who knew that since the launch of a series of ice products in the summer of that year, the profit of that shop has doubled compared to previous years. several times.
That is to say, since then, no manager has ever sneered at Bai Lan's suggestion, or even begged him for an idea, but Bai Lan's reaction has never been enthusiastic.
From the outside world, it seems that he is relying on Zhou Jianwen as a big backer so he ignores other people, but only Zhou Jianwen, who knows Bailan well enough, knows that this guy will only benefit him. Use your brains.
If it wasn't for Bai Lan himself who was also greedy for this, how could he suggest ice products.
"Miss Jianwen can't leave this problem to me." He poked the smoothie in the cup with a special long-handled spoon, "This is the responsibility of the owner, and I remember that in Jianwen's hometown, Choosing an opening date is a very delicate thing, right?"
"Tsk, you have to be a professional, I'm not even a layman."
Zhou Jianwen didn't like to hear the word "responsibility" at first, especially after she came to Soul Soul Realm, but even so, Zhou Jianwen waved her hand, "Go and take me from this world to you. Bring the things that came back, and let the butler bring the calendar from Soul World as well."
In Zhenzhou's house, Zhou Jianwen's order was the biggest. After Bai Lan ordered it, he put the desserts that had only smoothies on the tray, and then ran to carry out Zhou Jianwen's order.
After about a quarter of an hour, Bai Lan, who had already left, walked in again holding three thick books.Although his movements were not big, he still woke up Zhou Jianwen who had already closed her eyes and dozed off during his departure.
"Hmm... let me take a look," motioning Bai Lan to put the book on the ground, Zhou Jianwen yawned and got up from the ground.
She spread the three books on the floor, and after asking Bai Lan for a few dates, she began to look them up.
Bai Lan, who brought two of them back from the present world, naturally knew what was in them, but he felt dizzy no matter how many times he read them, so Bai Lan simply looked away.But when his eyes only stayed on Zhou Jianwen, who was still a little sleepy but had an extremely serious expression, for a moment, he immediately turned his head away while covering his nose.
"That...Jianwen," Bai Lan's voice sounded a little dull, probably because she covered her mouth and nose with her hands.
Zhou Jianwen, who was all focused on the book, didn't notice the other party's strangeness at all, but subconsciously responded casually, because she just woke up, her voice sounded a little lazy usually, "Well, What's wrong."
"Clothes..." Bai Lan paused, as if he was wondering if it was appropriate to be so straightforward, "You should tidy up your clothes first."
Since she came to this world, Zhou Jianwen has lost touch with suits...even all modern clothes.
It's not that Zhou Jianmin didn't complain about the cumbersome kimonos that she wore—especially every major festival, as the head of the Manafune family, she had to change into a gorgeous and heavy twelve singles.But luckily there was Yeyi, the difficult sister of Sifengyuan, there, so Zhou Jianwen felt better.
Fortunately, Zhou Jian Minzi has become addicted to pretending to be sick. When she doesn't need to go out and has no visitors, her attire is mainly in bathrobes.
But here comes the problem...
Zhou Jianwen, who heard Bai Lan's reminder, lowered her head to look at her clothes, and then found that the bathrobe on her body had become a little loose because of the previous nap.
But Zhou Jianwen didn't pay much attention to it, she just sorted it out casually, and then looked at the book in front of her again.
But after a while, Zhou Jianwen realized something was wrong.
She moved her eyes away from the book again, but this time what she wanted to look at was no longer her kimono, but Bai Lan who was sitting obediently and eating melons by herself.Zhou Jianwen looked at the other party suspiciously for a long time, until Bai Lan almost couldn't stand it, then asked——
"Are you just now... are you embarrassed?"
"...No, no! Don't talk nonsense, Lord Bai Lan, how can I be embarrassed!"
"Oh, so..."
Zhou Jianwen nodded, and then studied the things in front of her again regardless of the other party's flustered appearance.Two of those three books were brought back by the way when she asked Bai Lan to purchase new store equipment in the present world, just for today.
Those two things are the almanac and Liuyao.
That is to say, even if Bai Lan didn't ask her to pick the date of opening, Zhou Jianwen originally had this plan - but she didn't tell Bai Lan.
Seeing that Zhou Jianwen had no voice, Bai Lan didn't know whether to be thankful or disappointed. He picked up the glass that he had put down before and fiddled with the smoothie in it until the smoothie was about to turn into ice water. Jianwen's voice finally sounded.
"Just this day," Zhou Jianwen, who finally chose an auspicious day after comparing three calendars, pushed the book in front of him, "On the third day of September, just that day."
"Oh, oh..." Bai Lan nodded subconsciously, and then realized what Zhou Jianwen was saying. In order to cover up his previous strangeness, he quickly changed his words, "Then I'll let the housekeeper prepare the invitation?"
After studying the auspicious dates for the opening of the business, Zhou Jianwen was no longer sleepy, "Well, the five noble families all want it, and there are also a few noble families who are relatively close. In the thirteenth team, the few who had a good relationship with me back then The captain should also prepare one."
In fact, except for the captain of the [-]th squad, Oni Yancheng Kenpachi, she has a good relationship with the captains of several other squads.
As for Oni Yancheng Kenpachi... It can only be said that he has a bad relationship with anyone in the [-]th division.
"Your Excellency Yinling, Yeyi, and the invitations from Haiyan, you personally send them." Zhou Jianwen thought for a while, and thought that it should be fine, "As for the other people, let the housekeeper worry about it. "
No, there is another problem.
Zhou Jianwen glanced at Bai Lan who had complied with her order. Although she felt that the other party was a little strange today, as long as she was still this person, it would be fine. "Speaking of which, what was the thing you told me earlier?" ?”
"Huh?" Bai Lan looked at Zhou Jianwen who suddenly asked her a question in a daze, not understanding what the other party was talking about, "What's the matter?"
"Didn't you say before that if the new store opens, I need to promise you a small request," Zhou Jianwen frowned, "Although it hasn't opened yet, it shouldn't be a problem to say your request first, right? "
"Ah, that ah..."
It was only then that Bai Lan came to his senses, but he didn't answer right away, he just said with a smile, "It's not urgent, I'll talk about it after I finish decorating the store."
Zhou Jianwen's strong condemnation of Bailan's obvious act of selling out, but this kind of innocuous condemnation did not bring substantial harm after all, and Zhou Jianwen himself did not want to be in such a big place. In the hot weather, I don't want to hear the sound of gunfire, so someone escaped the disaster logically.
After that day, Bai Lan, who had rested for a few days, started to get busy again, and the invitations from the Mansune family were sent to several nobles and the captain of the thirteenth division.
"You'll find something for yourself to do."
On the night of receiving the invitation from Bailan, Yeyi came to Masune's house.
"It seems that you really don't want to go back to the thirteenth team of the court anymore."
"Even if I return to Huting Team [-] with my current physique, I will cause trouble."
Back then, she half-truthfully told about the problems with her Zanpakuto and the ability to go to the virtual circle unintentionally, to the Central Room 46 and the head of the team, and then proposed to quit the team and go to the virtual circle to clean it regularly Apply.
Although her application has caused headaches for the central room 46 and the captain for a long time, after all, the captain-level god of death is a precious resource in the world of souls, but after considering her noble status and the benefits her application can bring, she still agreed.
But she kept it a secret for a few years, and then was forced to confess by Ye Yi and the others.
"But I'm relieved to see that you're fine in the virtual circle," Ye Yi and the others still understood Zhou Jianwen's decision, "At first we all thought you were crazy, but now it seems that you just chose a better one. the right path."
As the great nobles that everyone admires, they actually have too much helplessness. Compared with personal likes and dislikes of the family glory, it is the most important thing. Becoming the god of death is just the inevitable outcome of the family arrangement.But if Zhou Jianwen finds a way that can not only maintain the honor of the family, but also satisfy her own preferences, they are still blessed.
What's more, going to the virtual circle alone and regularly reducing the proportion of souls there is not something that everyone can do.
Zhou Jianwen is now taking a dangerous and lonely road. It can be said that her contribution alone is comparable to that of a team, but her contribution is unknown.
"Although the virtual circle is empty and quiet, it's actually more enjoyable to fight than in the Soul Realm."
Zhou Jianwen smiled, not to mention that the captain-level Reaper is usually restricted even in the beginning, but in terms of destructive power, her fleet will inevitably have to be tied up in the Soul Soul Realm.
But it's much more enjoyable to be in Xuquan, don't worry about the buildings and don't worry about hurting innocent people, she just needs to blow up.
Seeing the side of his friend who didn't hide his true nature at all, Ye Yi couldn't help sighing, "It's the first time I've found that you are so aggressive. Compared with the [-]th or [-]th squad, maybe the [-]th squad is more suitable for you."
"Squad [-]..." Zhou Jianwen sighed thoughtfully, if he really became the captain of Team [-], he would probably be slaughtered by Sword Hachi in a few years.
"Speaking of this, have you heard?" Yeyi probably knew what Zhou Jianwen was lamenting. Although she said that just now, she didn't think that the eleventh team was really suitable for her friends. "Twelve Hikko of the Fan Squad has been promoted."
"Eh? Promotion? You mean Team Zero?"
The familiar surname and noun made Zhou Jianwen react immediately. Since Hikishu Kiryu has been promoted, it means... "Then there is any reaction from the captain?"
The resignation of the former captain needs to be filled by the new captain, but the god of death at the captain level is rare in Sei Lingting, so Zhou Jianwen's resignation made the central 46th room and the chief captain so entangled.
If it weren't for the benefits brought by Zhou Jianwen's retirement from the team, they wouldn't let go so easily.
——In fact, the [-]th Division has yet to have a suitable captain.
Knowing what Zhou Jianwen was asking, Ye Yi didn't hide his intention, "I'm going to recommend Xisuke."
This was expected, but when he thought about what would happen to Urahara Kisuke as the captain of the [-]th Division, Zhou Jianmin couldn't help worrying, "Kisuke is suitable regardless of character or strength, that is..."
What is it?
Ye Yi looked at Zhou Jianmin who was inexplicably worried, and felt that if there was anything about Kisuke Urahara that would make Zhou Jianmin worried, then only his unreliable appearance would be the only one.
So she persuaded, "Don't worry, that guy looks unreliable at ordinary times, but he is very reliable in critical moments."
"I naturally believe in Kisuke's brains and ability," but I don't believe in the character of the fifth team|||wife's wife, Zhou Jianwen thought about it, and finally sighed, "Forget it, let it be Naturally, since you recommend Kisuke, you naturally have your considerations."
But Zhou Jianwen's words didn't reassure Ye Yi, she looked suspiciously at Zhou Jianwen who acted a little strangely on this matter, "You seem to have something on your mind?"
"It's a little bit," Zhou Jianwen took a sip of tea and sorted out his thoughts by the way.
Although she had known for a long time that the day when Hikifune Kiryu would retire from the team, Urahara Kisuke would become the captain of the [-]th Division and establish a technology development bureau would come sooner or later, she never expected it to come so suddenly.
From a friend's point of view, she should remind Yoruichi a few words, at least let her tell Urahara to be careful in everything.
But she said that before the other party was tested by the captain, which seemed a bit deliberate; what's more, it was still a few years before that incident happened, and it was useless for her to remind her now.
Rather, even if she reminded Urahara about that matter, it would be useless.
"I remember that the vice-captain of the [-]th team seems to like Hikko very much." Zhou Jianwen thought for a while, but decided not to mention that matter for the time being, "Do you think that hot-tempered girl can accept Xisuke?"
"Uh..." Thinking of Sarkaki Hiyori's famous fiery temper and her special skills in Goute [-], Ye Yi suddenly felt a little sympathetic to his friend, "Leave this to Kisuke himself Let’s deal with it, I believe he can handle it well with his character.”
"……Too."
—Come on, Kisuke!
……
No third person knew about this conversation that only Zhou Jianwen and Sifengyuan Yeyi participated in, but Bailan still heard from Zhou Jianwen afterwards that Yeyi recommended Urahara as the captain of the [-]th Division.However, after seeing the other party's expression that seemed to be full of sympathy, Bai Lan couldn't help but asked the reason.
"What do you think is wrong with the [-]th squad?"
Zhou Jianwen, who was walking with Bai Lan on the way to the new store, asked with a smile, but no matter how you looked at it, the smile was a little gloating, "Well...the [-]th division team is fine, the problem is how does Xisuke get along with the new subordinates?" It’s been a headache for a while.”
"Huh? What's going on?"
Probably Bai Lan's puzzled look was really interesting, which made Zhou Jianwen explain to him in a good mood, "Have you ever heard of teasing || Yin|| legs?"
As soon as the word 把||阴||legs came out, Bai Lan immediately showed a toothache expression that all men can empathize with. He couldn't help but gasped, as if he had also suffered a blow from the front Same.
"That's the one?"
"That's the one."
"His..."
That painful word made Bai Lan not say much after that, judging from his appearance, it is not difficult to find that he is mourning for Urahara Kisuke who has been good with his brothers all these years.
"But this is not a big problem," Zhou Jianwen, who was standing and talking without back pain, patted Bai Lan's shoulder, "I'm concerned about another thing now."
Bai Lan originally wanted to say "No, you don't understand" to Zhou Jianwen, but after seeing the other party's appearance, he immediately understood that Zhou Jianwen was not joking... Uh, although the previous one was also in a sense Not joke level pain.
"What do you think?"
However, Zhou Jianwen didn't answer immediately.
Whether Urahara and the others should avoid the blurring incident, she has been thinking about this since she came to the world of souls.From a friend's point of view, she doesn't want Urahara and others to suffer those blows, but she also knows that some things are inevitable.
After all, as long as Aizen is around, the Soul Society will suffer big and small hardships in the next hundred years. It is not a bad thing for Urahara and the others to leave earlier, but she still feels a little bit reluctant.
"Forget it, let's talk about it later."
Zhou Jianwen thought for a while, and felt that even if this issue really needs to be discussed with Bai Lan, it should not be in such a large audience.
She chose to quit the team back then. Apart from the problems of spiritual power and virtual circles, she actually didn't want to have too much direct contact with Lan Ran—whether it was herself or Bai Lan.
"Jianwen is really a little strange recently," Zhou Jianwen Bailan who is worried has never seen it before. When she first came to this world, Zhou Jianwen often showed this expression.
But never has it lasted as long as this time, as if the sky is going to collapse tomorrow.
And the origin of everything is the news that Ye Yi brought and the core of their topic just now.
"Is Jianwen so worried about Xisu-kun?"
Bai Lan couldn't help frowning.
In his opinion, all problems are not a problem in front of Zhou Jianwen. Her brain turns quickly and her adaptability is strong. Even if she was cheated by the system quietly back then, she can immediately find the reason and come up with a solution .
Where is it like it is now, it is obvious that you care too much.
And what made Bai Lan feel uncomfortable the most was that it was Kisuke Urahara who Zhou Jianmin paid too much attention to, not him, "If it's Kisuke-kun, there's nothing to worry about."
He said angrily, even he himself didn't realize that his tone was very much like a child who has no candy.
"Are you jealous?" Zhou Jianwen, who has always been slow in this regard, seemed to have a rare enlightenment today, "Don't worry, although I am worried about Kisuke, it is definitely not what you think, or Kisuke is just innocent. The main character involved in something that worries me."
Seemingly seeing what Bailan wanted to ask, Zhou Jianwen continued, "As for what it is, we'll talk about it when we go back, it's not convenient outside..."
Bai Lan looked at Zhou Jianwen for a while, and then nodded reluctantly after she was convinced that she was not lying, let alone perfunctory herself.
Zhou Jianwen felt like she was coaxing a child now—in fact, Oscar, who had become fatter and more arrogant over the years, was not as difficult to coax as Bai Lan, but she didn't say anything, just changed the subject , "Now tell me what you plan to ask of me."
She stopped suddenly, and in front of her was the new shop that Bai Lan had been busy with for a long time.
- Photo studio.
The newly renovated shop has not yet opened yet, but it is the only one in Seireitei with the name of a photo studio, so it is inevitable that passing gods will come to ask what this shop is for.
But now, after seeing Zhou Jianwen and Bai Lan in private clothes, some people couldn't help but stop and watch, as if they saw some rare animals.
In fact, it is no wonder that they are so curious, after all, the main customers of this commercial street are still the god of death.
Although there are not no customers who wear private clothes on weekdays, the feeling of these two people is different from others: neither are they like commoners or noble servants, nor are they like wearing their heads in their belts all day long. The Grim Reaper who lived.
But if you really want to say that they are nobles—how many nobles in this world of corpses and souls don't pay attention to ostentation when they go out?
It's not that Bai Lan and Zhou Jianwen didn't notice other people's gazes on them, but neither of them paid attention to them.Bai Lan, who is also half in charge of the store, didn't even take the opportunity to promote the new store that was about to open to the onlookers, and took Zhou Jianwen to the store that cost him a lot of hard work.
"My request is very simple."
He opened the door and opened the curtain to let Zhou Jianwen enter the room, then closed the door with a smile to block the inquiring eyes from outside, "I want Jianwen to be the first customer of this store."
"In other words, you want to take a picture of me?"
Zhou Jianwen tilted her head and asked.
"It would be even better if it was a group photo," Bai Lan said, holding Zhou Jianwen's hand and walking towards the sofa placed in the center of the room.
The layout of the store is actually not much different from the photo studios in the past. Apart from the photographic equipment, there is only one sofa and one background board in this store, which is extremely simple. "I don't know if Miss Jianwen is willing to promise me this A humble request?"
With that said, he gave Zhou Jianwen a gentleman's salute.
Zhou Jianwen couldn't help laughing at such words that were not Bai Lan at all.
"Come on," she said with a sideways glance at Bai Lan, no wonder the other party told her to dress better today.
But this kind of request is actually not too much, and it's so cute that Bai Lan would not ask it at all, so Zhou Jianwen, who is very generous in this kind of place, just sat down on the sofa as Bai Lan wished, " There is no reason for me to refuse Master Bai Lan's request."
Hearing the conversation between Zhou Jianwen and Bai Lan, Sato, the manager in the store who had followed Bai Lan's order from the beginning, couldn't help but wipe the sweat dripping from his forehead.
The steward was originally a member of the Masune family, but he was personally selected by Bai Lan and had undergone relevant training. Besides him, Bai Lan also trained a few helpers who were responsible for the related business of this photo studio.
It's just that although he is a manager, Sato was able to see Zhou Jianwen very few times in the past. Now seeing the relationship between Zhou Jianwen and Bai Lan, he felt that he might be silenced. He couldn't help shivering.
"Are you nervous? Don't worry."
Bai Lan, who didn't miss the other party's expressions and small gestures, asked with a smile. He was in a good mood now that Zhou Jianmin agreed, "You have nothing to worry about. After all, this photo studio is the first one in Seilingting. With the current technology, even if you shoot a bad guest, you still don’t understand.”
"...If you don't teach the good, you can teach the bad."
If there were no other people present, Zhou Jianwen really wanted to roll her eyes at Bai Lan.
"Are you really not afraid that I will beat you up by saying this?"
Zhou Jianwen's words made Sato who was already nervous couldn't help but sweat again. Although Zhou Jianwen was not overwhelmed, Zhou Jianwen was one of the five nobles, and his aura was different from other people and ordinary gods of death.
He suddenly had some admiration for Bai Lan who could chat and quarrel with Zhou Jianwen, and then he couldn't help sighing in his heart Bai Lan's status in Zhen Zhou's family—or in other words, Bai Lan's position in Zhou Jianwen's heart was as special as the rumors said. How could the rest of the Masune family have such treatment.
"Jian, Lord Jianwen, Lord Bailan..."
Sato held the sweat-soaked handkerchief and looked helplessly at the two people in the room—no matter who they were, he couldn't afford to offend them, "Can we start?"
"Ah, wait a minute... I suddenly changed my mind."
Bai Lan, who had already stood beside Zhou Jianwen, said suddenly, and then walked to the fixed camera regardless of Sato's expression as if struck by lightning, "As expected, I still took the first photo of Jianwen. I don't want to give it to anyone else."
"This sounds a little strange."
"This must be your illusion, Miss Jianwen."
"Let's talk about it first," Zhou Jianwen couldn't help raising her eyebrows even though she knew that the other party was omnipotent, "My requirements are very high, so don't try to meet those bad photos. I."
People in the soul world are laymen, but she is not.
"You don't have to worry about this, Miss Jianwen, I'm a professional."
Ignoring Sato who was already dripping with cold sweat, Bai Lan stuck her head into the veil just like that.
"Come on, read se with me..."
"...According to common sense, shouldn't you read 'two'?" Zhou Jianwen complained softly. Imported products such as cheese have not yet flowed into the soul world-it is estimated that it may not be in the next hundred years. , Is it a bit dangerous for a photo studio to use this as a slogan?
Because of the hood, Zhou Jianwen couldn't see Bai Lan's expression clearly, but she could still hear her voice, "This is for Miss Jianwen."
"Thank you I don't need it."
Even so, Zhou Jianwen still showed a standard smile.
Manager Sato on the side said that civilians don't understand the way of intercourse between nobles.
After taking the first photo, Bai Lan adjusted the film, then gave up the position to Sato, and returned to the place where she was standing, "Although the digital camera is more convenient, it feels like taking pictures with Jianwen like this. It's pretty good too."
Zhou Jianwen snorted and didn't speak, not to mention that in Bai Lan's era, mobile phone photography has gradually replaced digital cameras, the key is when did she take pictures with Bai Lan before today?
Zhou Jianwen, whose thoughts were disturbed by Bai Lan's words, immediately got a suggestion from Sato, "Master Jianwen, please smile."
Zhou Jianwen: "..."
Bai Lan: "Pfft..."
Although he was a little dissatisfied with Bailan's reaction, Zhou Jianwen still showed the same smile as before, and after receiving Sato's "shooting done" signal, he stretched out his hand and twisted Bailan's waist.
"Hiss...Jianwen, lighten up, lighten up."
"Ok?"
"Oh, I was wrong, Jianmin, let go first... it hurts!"
"Hmph, let you talk nonsense again."
Sato who felt like he was being fed a mouthful of dog food: "..."
——The method of intercourse among the nobles, as expected, civilians like them still don't understand.
After getting Sato's promise of "I will deliver the photos to my door tomorrow" from Sato who ate dog food for about a year in one day, Bai Lan took Zhou Jianwen away contentedly, "What does Jianwen think of Sato?"
"Your eye for picking people has always been reliable." Zhou Jianwen still trusts Bai Lan's eye and his brainwashing skills. "The character is upright and honest, but not dull, but a little nervous."
"Hahaha, facing Miss Jianwen, those who are not nervous are the odd ones."
"Then there are quite a lot of aliens in this soul world."
Whether it is Sato or Bai Lan who are nervous about her existence, they are just afraid or in awe of the names of the five nobles. If they do not have this title and then hold back their spiritual pressure, Zhou Jianwen feels that he is just an ordinary person. Ordinary Tong does not have any distinctive features.
Maybe even if you put on the death tyrant costume and throw it into the god of death, no one else will find anything abnormal.
On the contrary, Bai Lan would still become the focus of the crowd even if she put on the most common Deathly Domineering outfit in Seireitei, "Speaking of which, do you have any plans to go to Mao?"
"Mao? Is Jianwen talking about Maou Institute of Spiritual Art?"
Bai Lan recalled what Zhou Jianwen had taught him about popular science, and when he thought about what Mao did, he felt bored.
"Forget it, I have no plans to experience student life again."
This answer is not surprising, but Zhou Jianwen did not expect Bai Lan to choose the former between the boring life of retirement and the boring life of death.
"First of all, if you choose to stay by my side, then you may continue to be as boring as you are now for the next 100 years. But becoming a god of death may not necessarily make you more spiritually fulfilled. .”
In fact, she didn't want Bailan to go to Mao, and then become a god of death, and then plunged into the center of the chaotic whirlpool.
It's just that after thinking about it these years, Zhou Jianwen always feels that if Bai Lan really wants to complete the task, perhaps becoming the god of death is the best choice.
Although she was more or less reluctant, but...
"But you can always tell me if you change your mind."
Although Zhou Jianwen said so, Bai Lan seemed to have no intention of thinking about this question at all, "If I had to choose between 'a boring life with Jianwen' and 'a boring life without Jianwen', I would definitely choose Choose the former."
He lowered his head to look at Zhou Jianwen's profile, and smiled as sweetly as if he was still in the original world, "So let's forget about going to Mao, even if it's just living there for a year, it will drive me crazy. "
——He still has the confidence to complete the six-year course in one year.
Looking at Bai Lan, she felt as if she was looking at a "rarely seen genius in XX years". Zhou Jianwen twitched her lips, and suddenly felt that if Bai Lan really became the god of death, she might really be able to replace some of the characters in the original book. It is rare to see a genius every ten years, 50 years, or even 100 years.
It's just that it's better not to let someone know about her thoughts, she doesn't want to see the other party's complacent appearance.
"Although I know you don't mean it, it sounds like you're saying that your life is just as boring with or without me."
"Let's forget about this unpleasant way of understanding, Jianwen."
Bai Lan, who was still smiling like honey, wrinkled her face into a bun in an instant, and she missed the extent of Zhou Jianwen's disturbing scenery. Bai Lan, who originally wanted to say something nice to make Zhou Jianwen happy, suddenly deflated.
It's not that he doesn't know how to flirt, it's obviously because Zhou Jianwen is too difficult to deal with!
"However," just when Bai Lan felt that it would be better for her to keep her mouth shut, Zhou Jianwen suddenly changed the topic, "The Zhenzhou family can still afford a free meal right now, and you don't need to be a pawn just yet. Death is the breadwinner for the family, so live here with peace of mind."
Bai Lan blinked, and after understanding what the other party meant, he suddenly showed a brighter smile than before.
"Jianwen, let's forget about such spoiling things."
"...Hey, be careful I blow you up!"
Bai Lan, who knew what Zhou Jianwen meant by "bombing", shivered symbolically, but the performance was a bit exaggerated, "Let's forget about the aircraft carrier brigade." frightened
"But if Jianwen does it herself..."
He showed a bright smile, and his whole body seemed to be shining under the setting sun.
"I'd love to."
Zhou Jianwen, who was only in charge of funding from the beginning and left all problems to Bai Lan, naturally did not intervene in this step.
On the one hand, this new store can be said to be Bai Lan's painstaking effort. She didn't worry about it from the beginning, why should she point and point at the end to make people annoying; Rufiore uniform does not talk about words.
Bai Lan also accepted Zhou Jianwen's personality, but as Zhou Jianwen's boss, she had to take care of some things even if she didn't want to, such as...
"When will it open..."
Zhou Jianwen shook her fan to drive away the last trace of heat, Bai Lan's topic changed too quickly, and it took her a few seconds to realize what he was referring to after being dazzled by the late summer heat.
Bai Lan, who finally didn't have to run errands for the past two days, was enjoying the ice products specially provided by Mansune's house. This was his suggestion to the steward of a certain dessert shop at the regular meeting of Mansune's house in the early years.
The other party was still a little reluctant at the time, but finally adopted this suggestion because of Zhou Jianwen's face. Who knew that since the launch of a series of ice products in the summer of that year, the profit of that shop has doubled compared to previous years. several times.
That is to say, since then, no manager has ever sneered at Bai Lan's suggestion, or even begged him for an idea, but Bai Lan's reaction has never been enthusiastic.
From the outside world, it seems that he is relying on Zhou Jianwen as a big backer so he ignores other people, but only Zhou Jianwen, who knows Bailan well enough, knows that this guy will only benefit him. Use your brains.
If it wasn't for Bai Lan himself who was also greedy for this, how could he suggest ice products.
"Miss Jianwen can't leave this problem to me." He poked the smoothie in the cup with a special long-handled spoon, "This is the responsibility of the owner, and I remember that in Jianwen's hometown, Choosing an opening date is a very delicate thing, right?"
"Tsk, you have to be a professional, I'm not even a layman."
Zhou Jianwen didn't like to hear the word "responsibility" at first, especially after she came to Soul Soul Realm, but even so, Zhou Jianwen waved her hand, "Go and take me from this world to you. Bring the things that came back, and let the butler bring the calendar from Soul World as well."
In Zhenzhou's house, Zhou Jianwen's order was the biggest. After Bai Lan ordered it, he put the desserts that had only smoothies on the tray, and then ran to carry out Zhou Jianwen's order.
After about a quarter of an hour, Bai Lan, who had already left, walked in again holding three thick books.Although his movements were not big, he still woke up Zhou Jianwen who had already closed her eyes and dozed off during his departure.
"Hmm... let me take a look," motioning Bai Lan to put the book on the ground, Zhou Jianwen yawned and got up from the ground.
She spread the three books on the floor, and after asking Bai Lan for a few dates, she began to look them up.
Bai Lan, who brought two of them back from the present world, naturally knew what was in them, but he felt dizzy no matter how many times he read them, so Bai Lan simply looked away.But when his eyes only stayed on Zhou Jianwen, who was still a little sleepy but had an extremely serious expression, for a moment, he immediately turned his head away while covering his nose.
"That...Jianwen," Bai Lan's voice sounded a little dull, probably because she covered her mouth and nose with her hands.
Zhou Jianwen, who was all focused on the book, didn't notice the other party's strangeness at all, but subconsciously responded casually, because she just woke up, her voice sounded a little lazy usually, "Well, What's wrong."
"Clothes..." Bai Lan paused, as if he was wondering if it was appropriate to be so straightforward, "You should tidy up your clothes first."
Since she came to this world, Zhou Jianwen has lost touch with suits...even all modern clothes.
It's not that Zhou Jianmin didn't complain about the cumbersome kimonos that she wore—especially every major festival, as the head of the Manafune family, she had to change into a gorgeous and heavy twelve singles.But luckily there was Yeyi, the difficult sister of Sifengyuan, there, so Zhou Jianwen felt better.
Fortunately, Zhou Jian Minzi has become addicted to pretending to be sick. When she doesn't need to go out and has no visitors, her attire is mainly in bathrobes.
But here comes the problem...
Zhou Jianwen, who heard Bai Lan's reminder, lowered her head to look at her clothes, and then found that the bathrobe on her body had become a little loose because of the previous nap.
But Zhou Jianwen didn't pay much attention to it, she just sorted it out casually, and then looked at the book in front of her again.
But after a while, Zhou Jianwen realized something was wrong.
She moved her eyes away from the book again, but this time what she wanted to look at was no longer her kimono, but Bai Lan who was sitting obediently and eating melons by herself.Zhou Jianwen looked at the other party suspiciously for a long time, until Bai Lan almost couldn't stand it, then asked——
"Are you just now... are you embarrassed?"
"...No, no! Don't talk nonsense, Lord Bai Lan, how can I be embarrassed!"
"Oh, so..."
Zhou Jianwen nodded, and then studied the things in front of her again regardless of the other party's flustered appearance.Two of those three books were brought back by the way when she asked Bai Lan to purchase new store equipment in the present world, just for today.
Those two things are the almanac and Liuyao.
That is to say, even if Bai Lan didn't ask her to pick the date of opening, Zhou Jianwen originally had this plan - but she didn't tell Bai Lan.
Seeing that Zhou Jianwen had no voice, Bai Lan didn't know whether to be thankful or disappointed. He picked up the glass that he had put down before and fiddled with the smoothie in it until the smoothie was about to turn into ice water. Jianwen's voice finally sounded.
"Just this day," Zhou Jianwen, who finally chose an auspicious day after comparing three calendars, pushed the book in front of him, "On the third day of September, just that day."
"Oh, oh..." Bai Lan nodded subconsciously, and then realized what Zhou Jianwen was saying. In order to cover up his previous strangeness, he quickly changed his words, "Then I'll let the housekeeper prepare the invitation?"
After studying the auspicious dates for the opening of the business, Zhou Jianwen was no longer sleepy, "Well, the five noble families all want it, and there are also a few noble families who are relatively close. In the thirteenth team, the few who had a good relationship with me back then The captain should also prepare one."
In fact, except for the captain of the [-]th squad, Oni Yancheng Kenpachi, she has a good relationship with the captains of several other squads.
As for Oni Yancheng Kenpachi... It can only be said that he has a bad relationship with anyone in the [-]th division.
"Your Excellency Yinling, Yeyi, and the invitations from Haiyan, you personally send them." Zhou Jianwen thought for a while, and thought that it should be fine, "As for the other people, let the housekeeper worry about it. "
No, there is another problem.
Zhou Jianwen glanced at Bai Lan who had complied with her order. Although she felt that the other party was a little strange today, as long as she was still this person, it would be fine. "Speaking of which, what was the thing you told me earlier?" ?”
"Huh?" Bai Lan looked at Zhou Jianwen who suddenly asked her a question in a daze, not understanding what the other party was talking about, "What's the matter?"
"Didn't you say before that if the new store opens, I need to promise you a small request," Zhou Jianwen frowned, "Although it hasn't opened yet, it shouldn't be a problem to say your request first, right? "
"Ah, that ah..."
It was only then that Bai Lan came to his senses, but he didn't answer right away, he just said with a smile, "It's not urgent, I'll talk about it after I finish decorating the store."
Zhou Jianwen's strong condemnation of Bailan's obvious act of selling out, but this kind of innocuous condemnation did not bring substantial harm after all, and Zhou Jianwen himself did not want to be in such a big place. In the hot weather, I don't want to hear the sound of gunfire, so someone escaped the disaster logically.
After that day, Bai Lan, who had rested for a few days, started to get busy again, and the invitations from the Mansune family were sent to several nobles and the captain of the thirteenth division.
"You'll find something for yourself to do."
On the night of receiving the invitation from Bailan, Yeyi came to Masune's house.
"It seems that you really don't want to go back to the thirteenth team of the court anymore."
"Even if I return to Huting Team [-] with my current physique, I will cause trouble."
Back then, she half-truthfully told about the problems with her Zanpakuto and the ability to go to the virtual circle unintentionally, to the Central Room 46 and the head of the team, and then proposed to quit the team and go to the virtual circle to clean it regularly Apply.
Although her application has caused headaches for the central room 46 and the captain for a long time, after all, the captain-level god of death is a precious resource in the world of souls, but after considering her noble status and the benefits her application can bring, she still agreed.
But she kept it a secret for a few years, and then was forced to confess by Ye Yi and the others.
"But I'm relieved to see that you're fine in the virtual circle," Ye Yi and the others still understood Zhou Jianwen's decision, "At first we all thought you were crazy, but now it seems that you just chose a better one. the right path."
As the great nobles that everyone admires, they actually have too much helplessness. Compared with personal likes and dislikes of the family glory, it is the most important thing. Becoming the god of death is just the inevitable outcome of the family arrangement.But if Zhou Jianwen finds a way that can not only maintain the honor of the family, but also satisfy her own preferences, they are still blessed.
What's more, going to the virtual circle alone and regularly reducing the proportion of souls there is not something that everyone can do.
Zhou Jianwen is now taking a dangerous and lonely road. It can be said that her contribution alone is comparable to that of a team, but her contribution is unknown.
"Although the virtual circle is empty and quiet, it's actually more enjoyable to fight than in the Soul Realm."
Zhou Jianwen smiled, not to mention that the captain-level Reaper is usually restricted even in the beginning, but in terms of destructive power, her fleet will inevitably have to be tied up in the Soul Soul Realm.
But it's much more enjoyable to be in Xuquan, don't worry about the buildings and don't worry about hurting innocent people, she just needs to blow up.
Seeing the side of his friend who didn't hide his true nature at all, Ye Yi couldn't help sighing, "It's the first time I've found that you are so aggressive. Compared with the [-]th or [-]th squad, maybe the [-]th squad is more suitable for you."
"Squad [-]..." Zhou Jianwen sighed thoughtfully, if he really became the captain of Team [-], he would probably be slaughtered by Sword Hachi in a few years.
"Speaking of this, have you heard?" Yeyi probably knew what Zhou Jianwen was lamenting. Although she said that just now, she didn't think that the eleventh team was really suitable for her friends. "Twelve Hikko of the Fan Squad has been promoted."
"Eh? Promotion? You mean Team Zero?"
The familiar surname and noun made Zhou Jianwen react immediately. Since Hikishu Kiryu has been promoted, it means... "Then there is any reaction from the captain?"
The resignation of the former captain needs to be filled by the new captain, but the god of death at the captain level is rare in Sei Lingting, so Zhou Jianwen's resignation made the central 46th room and the chief captain so entangled.
If it weren't for the benefits brought by Zhou Jianwen's retirement from the team, they wouldn't let go so easily.
——In fact, the [-]th Division has yet to have a suitable captain.
Knowing what Zhou Jianwen was asking, Ye Yi didn't hide his intention, "I'm going to recommend Xisuke."
This was expected, but when he thought about what would happen to Urahara Kisuke as the captain of the [-]th Division, Zhou Jianmin couldn't help worrying, "Kisuke is suitable regardless of character or strength, that is..."
What is it?
Ye Yi looked at Zhou Jianmin who was inexplicably worried, and felt that if there was anything about Kisuke Urahara that would make Zhou Jianmin worried, then only his unreliable appearance would be the only one.
So she persuaded, "Don't worry, that guy looks unreliable at ordinary times, but he is very reliable in critical moments."
"I naturally believe in Kisuke's brains and ability," but I don't believe in the character of the fifth team|||wife's wife, Zhou Jianwen thought about it, and finally sighed, "Forget it, let it be Naturally, since you recommend Kisuke, you naturally have your considerations."
But Zhou Jianwen's words didn't reassure Ye Yi, she looked suspiciously at Zhou Jianwen who acted a little strangely on this matter, "You seem to have something on your mind?"
"It's a little bit," Zhou Jianwen took a sip of tea and sorted out his thoughts by the way.
Although she had known for a long time that the day when Hikifune Kiryu would retire from the team, Urahara Kisuke would become the captain of the [-]th Division and establish a technology development bureau would come sooner or later, she never expected it to come so suddenly.
From a friend's point of view, she should remind Yoruichi a few words, at least let her tell Urahara to be careful in everything.
But she said that before the other party was tested by the captain, which seemed a bit deliberate; what's more, it was still a few years before that incident happened, and it was useless for her to remind her now.
Rather, even if she reminded Urahara about that matter, it would be useless.
"I remember that the vice-captain of the [-]th team seems to like Hikko very much." Zhou Jianwen thought for a while, but decided not to mention that matter for the time being, "Do you think that hot-tempered girl can accept Xisuke?"
"Uh..." Thinking of Sarkaki Hiyori's famous fiery temper and her special skills in Goute [-], Ye Yi suddenly felt a little sympathetic to his friend, "Leave this to Kisuke himself Let’s deal with it, I believe he can handle it well with his character.”
"……Too."
—Come on, Kisuke!
……
No third person knew about this conversation that only Zhou Jianwen and Sifengyuan Yeyi participated in, but Bailan still heard from Zhou Jianwen afterwards that Yeyi recommended Urahara as the captain of the [-]th Division.However, after seeing the other party's expression that seemed to be full of sympathy, Bai Lan couldn't help but asked the reason.
"What do you think is wrong with the [-]th squad?"
Zhou Jianwen, who was walking with Bai Lan on the way to the new store, asked with a smile, but no matter how you looked at it, the smile was a little gloating, "Well...the [-]th division team is fine, the problem is how does Xisuke get along with the new subordinates?" It’s been a headache for a while.”
"Huh? What's going on?"
Probably Bai Lan's puzzled look was really interesting, which made Zhou Jianwen explain to him in a good mood, "Have you ever heard of teasing || Yin|| legs?"
As soon as the word 把||阴||legs came out, Bai Lan immediately showed a toothache expression that all men can empathize with. He couldn't help but gasped, as if he had also suffered a blow from the front Same.
"That's the one?"
"That's the one."
"His..."
That painful word made Bai Lan not say much after that, judging from his appearance, it is not difficult to find that he is mourning for Urahara Kisuke who has been good with his brothers all these years.
"But this is not a big problem," Zhou Jianwen, who was standing and talking without back pain, patted Bai Lan's shoulder, "I'm concerned about another thing now."
Bai Lan originally wanted to say "No, you don't understand" to Zhou Jianwen, but after seeing the other party's appearance, he immediately understood that Zhou Jianwen was not joking... Uh, although the previous one was also in a sense Not joke level pain.
"What do you think?"
However, Zhou Jianwen didn't answer immediately.
Whether Urahara and the others should avoid the blurring incident, she has been thinking about this since she came to the world of souls.From a friend's point of view, she doesn't want Urahara and others to suffer those blows, but she also knows that some things are inevitable.
After all, as long as Aizen is around, the Soul Society will suffer big and small hardships in the next hundred years. It is not a bad thing for Urahara and the others to leave earlier, but she still feels a little bit reluctant.
"Forget it, let's talk about it later."
Zhou Jianwen thought for a while, and felt that even if this issue really needs to be discussed with Bai Lan, it should not be in such a large audience.
She chose to quit the team back then. Apart from the problems of spiritual power and virtual circles, she actually didn't want to have too much direct contact with Lan Ran—whether it was herself or Bai Lan.
"Jianwen is really a little strange recently," Zhou Jianwen Bailan who is worried has never seen it before. When she first came to this world, Zhou Jianwen often showed this expression.
But never has it lasted as long as this time, as if the sky is going to collapse tomorrow.
And the origin of everything is the news that Ye Yi brought and the core of their topic just now.
"Is Jianwen so worried about Xisu-kun?"
Bai Lan couldn't help frowning.
In his opinion, all problems are not a problem in front of Zhou Jianwen. Her brain turns quickly and her adaptability is strong. Even if she was cheated by the system quietly back then, she can immediately find the reason and come up with a solution .
Where is it like it is now, it is obvious that you care too much.
And what made Bai Lan feel uncomfortable the most was that it was Kisuke Urahara who Zhou Jianmin paid too much attention to, not him, "If it's Kisuke-kun, there's nothing to worry about."
He said angrily, even he himself didn't realize that his tone was very much like a child who has no candy.
"Are you jealous?" Zhou Jianwen, who has always been slow in this regard, seemed to have a rare enlightenment today, "Don't worry, although I am worried about Kisuke, it is definitely not what you think, or Kisuke is just innocent. The main character involved in something that worries me."
Seemingly seeing what Bailan wanted to ask, Zhou Jianwen continued, "As for what it is, we'll talk about it when we go back, it's not convenient outside..."
Bai Lan looked at Zhou Jianwen for a while, and then nodded reluctantly after she was convinced that she was not lying, let alone perfunctory herself.
Zhou Jianwen felt like she was coaxing a child now—in fact, Oscar, who had become fatter and more arrogant over the years, was not as difficult to coax as Bai Lan, but she didn't say anything, just changed the subject , "Now tell me what you plan to ask of me."
She stopped suddenly, and in front of her was the new shop that Bai Lan had been busy with for a long time.
- Photo studio.
The newly renovated shop has not yet opened yet, but it is the only one in Seireitei with the name of a photo studio, so it is inevitable that passing gods will come to ask what this shop is for.
But now, after seeing Zhou Jianwen and Bai Lan in private clothes, some people couldn't help but stop and watch, as if they saw some rare animals.
In fact, it is no wonder that they are so curious, after all, the main customers of this commercial street are still the god of death.
Although there are not no customers who wear private clothes on weekdays, the feeling of these two people is different from others: neither are they like commoners or noble servants, nor are they like wearing their heads in their belts all day long. The Grim Reaper who lived.
But if you really want to say that they are nobles—how many nobles in this world of corpses and souls don't pay attention to ostentation when they go out?
It's not that Bai Lan and Zhou Jianwen didn't notice other people's gazes on them, but neither of them paid attention to them.Bai Lan, who is also half in charge of the store, didn't even take the opportunity to promote the new store that was about to open to the onlookers, and took Zhou Jianwen to the store that cost him a lot of hard work.
"My request is very simple."
He opened the door and opened the curtain to let Zhou Jianwen enter the room, then closed the door with a smile to block the inquiring eyes from outside, "I want Jianwen to be the first customer of this store."
"In other words, you want to take a picture of me?"
Zhou Jianwen tilted her head and asked.
"It would be even better if it was a group photo," Bai Lan said, holding Zhou Jianwen's hand and walking towards the sofa placed in the center of the room.
The layout of the store is actually not much different from the photo studios in the past. Apart from the photographic equipment, there is only one sofa and one background board in this store, which is extremely simple. "I don't know if Miss Jianwen is willing to promise me this A humble request?"
With that said, he gave Zhou Jianwen a gentleman's salute.
Zhou Jianwen couldn't help laughing at such words that were not Bai Lan at all.
"Come on," she said with a sideways glance at Bai Lan, no wonder the other party told her to dress better today.
But this kind of request is actually not too much, and it's so cute that Bai Lan would not ask it at all, so Zhou Jianwen, who is very generous in this kind of place, just sat down on the sofa as Bai Lan wished, " There is no reason for me to refuse Master Bai Lan's request."
Hearing the conversation between Zhou Jianwen and Bai Lan, Sato, the manager in the store who had followed Bai Lan's order from the beginning, couldn't help but wipe the sweat dripping from his forehead.
The steward was originally a member of the Masune family, but he was personally selected by Bai Lan and had undergone relevant training. Besides him, Bai Lan also trained a few helpers who were responsible for the related business of this photo studio.
It's just that although he is a manager, Sato was able to see Zhou Jianwen very few times in the past. Now seeing the relationship between Zhou Jianwen and Bai Lan, he felt that he might be silenced. He couldn't help shivering.
"Are you nervous? Don't worry."
Bai Lan, who didn't miss the other party's expressions and small gestures, asked with a smile. He was in a good mood now that Zhou Jianmin agreed, "You have nothing to worry about. After all, this photo studio is the first one in Seilingting. With the current technology, even if you shoot a bad guest, you still don’t understand.”
"...If you don't teach the good, you can teach the bad."
If there were no other people present, Zhou Jianwen really wanted to roll her eyes at Bai Lan.
"Are you really not afraid that I will beat you up by saying this?"
Zhou Jianwen's words made Sato who was already nervous couldn't help but sweat again. Although Zhou Jianwen was not overwhelmed, Zhou Jianwen was one of the five nobles, and his aura was different from other people and ordinary gods of death.
He suddenly had some admiration for Bai Lan who could chat and quarrel with Zhou Jianwen, and then he couldn't help sighing in his heart Bai Lan's status in Zhen Zhou's family—or in other words, Bai Lan's position in Zhou Jianwen's heart was as special as the rumors said. How could the rest of the Masune family have such treatment.
"Jian, Lord Jianwen, Lord Bailan..."
Sato held the sweat-soaked handkerchief and looked helplessly at the two people in the room—no matter who they were, he couldn't afford to offend them, "Can we start?"
"Ah, wait a minute... I suddenly changed my mind."
Bai Lan, who had already stood beside Zhou Jianwen, said suddenly, and then walked to the fixed camera regardless of Sato's expression as if struck by lightning, "As expected, I still took the first photo of Jianwen. I don't want to give it to anyone else."
"This sounds a little strange."
"This must be your illusion, Miss Jianwen."
"Let's talk about it first," Zhou Jianwen couldn't help raising her eyebrows even though she knew that the other party was omnipotent, "My requirements are very high, so don't try to meet those bad photos. I."
People in the soul world are laymen, but she is not.
"You don't have to worry about this, Miss Jianwen, I'm a professional."
Ignoring Sato who was already dripping with cold sweat, Bai Lan stuck her head into the veil just like that.
"Come on, read se with me..."
"...According to common sense, shouldn't you read 'two'?" Zhou Jianwen complained softly. Imported products such as cheese have not yet flowed into the soul world-it is estimated that it may not be in the next hundred years. , Is it a bit dangerous for a photo studio to use this as a slogan?
Because of the hood, Zhou Jianwen couldn't see Bai Lan's expression clearly, but she could still hear her voice, "This is for Miss Jianwen."
"Thank you I don't need it."
Even so, Zhou Jianwen still showed a standard smile.
Manager Sato on the side said that civilians don't understand the way of intercourse between nobles.
After taking the first photo, Bai Lan adjusted the film, then gave up the position to Sato, and returned to the place where she was standing, "Although the digital camera is more convenient, it feels like taking pictures with Jianwen like this. It's pretty good too."
Zhou Jianwen snorted and didn't speak, not to mention that in Bai Lan's era, mobile phone photography has gradually replaced digital cameras, the key is when did she take pictures with Bai Lan before today?
Zhou Jianwen, whose thoughts were disturbed by Bai Lan's words, immediately got a suggestion from Sato, "Master Jianwen, please smile."
Zhou Jianwen: "..."
Bai Lan: "Pfft..."
Although he was a little dissatisfied with Bailan's reaction, Zhou Jianwen still showed the same smile as before, and after receiving Sato's "shooting done" signal, he stretched out his hand and twisted Bailan's waist.
"Hiss...Jianwen, lighten up, lighten up."
"Ok?"
"Oh, I was wrong, Jianmin, let go first... it hurts!"
"Hmph, let you talk nonsense again."
Sato who felt like he was being fed a mouthful of dog food: "..."
——The method of intercourse among the nobles, as expected, civilians like them still don't understand.
After getting Sato's promise of "I will deliver the photos to my door tomorrow" from Sato who ate dog food for about a year in one day, Bai Lan took Zhou Jianwen away contentedly, "What does Jianwen think of Sato?"
"Your eye for picking people has always been reliable." Zhou Jianwen still trusts Bai Lan's eye and his brainwashing skills. "The character is upright and honest, but not dull, but a little nervous."
"Hahaha, facing Miss Jianwen, those who are not nervous are the odd ones."
"Then there are quite a lot of aliens in this soul world."
Whether it is Sato or Bai Lan who are nervous about her existence, they are just afraid or in awe of the names of the five nobles. If they do not have this title and then hold back their spiritual pressure, Zhou Jianwen feels that he is just an ordinary person. Ordinary Tong does not have any distinctive features.
Maybe even if you put on the death tyrant costume and throw it into the god of death, no one else will find anything abnormal.
On the contrary, Bai Lan would still become the focus of the crowd even if she put on the most common Deathly Domineering outfit in Seireitei, "Speaking of which, do you have any plans to go to Mao?"
"Mao? Is Jianwen talking about Maou Institute of Spiritual Art?"
Bai Lan recalled what Zhou Jianwen had taught him about popular science, and when he thought about what Mao did, he felt bored.
"Forget it, I have no plans to experience student life again."
This answer is not surprising, but Zhou Jianwen did not expect Bai Lan to choose the former between the boring life of retirement and the boring life of death.
"First of all, if you choose to stay by my side, then you may continue to be as boring as you are now for the next 100 years. But becoming a god of death may not necessarily make you more spiritually fulfilled. .”
In fact, she didn't want Bailan to go to Mao, and then become a god of death, and then plunged into the center of the chaotic whirlpool.
It's just that after thinking about it these years, Zhou Jianwen always feels that if Bai Lan really wants to complete the task, perhaps becoming the god of death is the best choice.
Although she was more or less reluctant, but...
"But you can always tell me if you change your mind."
Although Zhou Jianwen said so, Bai Lan seemed to have no intention of thinking about this question at all, "If I had to choose between 'a boring life with Jianwen' and 'a boring life without Jianwen', I would definitely choose Choose the former."
He lowered his head to look at Zhou Jianwen's profile, and smiled as sweetly as if he was still in the original world, "So let's forget about going to Mao, even if it's just living there for a year, it will drive me crazy. "
——He still has the confidence to complete the six-year course in one year.
Looking at Bai Lan, she felt as if she was looking at a "rarely seen genius in XX years". Zhou Jianwen twitched her lips, and suddenly felt that if Bai Lan really became the god of death, she might really be able to replace some of the characters in the original book. It is rare to see a genius every ten years, 50 years, or even 100 years.
It's just that it's better not to let someone know about her thoughts, she doesn't want to see the other party's complacent appearance.
"Although I know you don't mean it, it sounds like you're saying that your life is just as boring with or without me."
"Let's forget about this unpleasant way of understanding, Jianwen."
Bai Lan, who was still smiling like honey, wrinkled her face into a bun in an instant, and she missed the extent of Zhou Jianwen's disturbing scenery. Bai Lan, who originally wanted to say something nice to make Zhou Jianwen happy, suddenly deflated.
It's not that he doesn't know how to flirt, it's obviously because Zhou Jianwen is too difficult to deal with!
"However," just when Bai Lan felt that it would be better for her to keep her mouth shut, Zhou Jianwen suddenly changed the topic, "The Zhenzhou family can still afford a free meal right now, and you don't need to be a pawn just yet. Death is the breadwinner for the family, so live here with peace of mind."
Bai Lan blinked, and after understanding what the other party meant, he suddenly showed a brighter smile than before.
"Jianwen, let's forget about such spoiling things."
"...Hey, be careful I blow you up!"
Bai Lan, who knew what Zhou Jianwen meant by "bombing", shivered symbolically, but the performance was a bit exaggerated, "Let's forget about the aircraft carrier brigade." frightened
"But if Jianwen does it herself..."
He showed a bright smile, and his whole body seemed to be shining under the setting sun.
"I'd love to."
