Chapter 24 Memory

"It would be nice if I let you hold on for a little longer, I'm sorry..."

The moment when I last saw Ichimaru Gin appears here in my memory. There is something incredible about memory. When I was actually there, I almost didn't realize the scenery, and I didn't feel there was anything sultry about it.

However, in the following time, what appeared in Matsumoto Rangiku's mind was the flash of Ichimaru Gin's last moments, even if there was only a certain degree of sadness.

"I hate this kind of place like you the most." Then he smiled bitterly, "Like a fool."

"Who are you talking about? Fool?" Captain Hitsugaya's voice suddenly came from behind.

The scenery was suddenly shattered and returned to reality.

Rangiku Matsumoto reacted in an exaggerated manner, "I was so shocked that I almost fell out."

"What?"

Matsumoto Rangiku demonstrated, "This."

"You don't have to do it again!" Captain Hitsugaya's face darkened, but he didn't react much. He seemed to be used to it. He pointed his hand behind his head and said, "There are guests who want to see you."

Rangiku Matsumoto looked along the line of sight, said "Huh", and then said: "Kira?"

Kira Izuru, who was standing outside the door, responded awkwardly: "Well, Miss Matsumoto."

Matsumoto Rangiku unexpectedly smiled softly.

He took out a plate of pancake-shaped food from the cabinet, "Come and eat, little steamed buns." He also took out a bottle of wine from under the table, and poured a glass for Kira and himself with a little excitement: "There is also wine. .”

An hour later...

Kira waved his hands with some difficulty, "No... no... this is the limit."

"What are you talking about? Keep going." Matsumoto Rangiku was still minding her own business and pouring him wine.

Another hour later...

The table was piled with wine bottles, and both of them were lying on the table. Captain Hitsugaya has disappeared.

"Ms. Matsumoto..."

"What?"

"I was sorry at that time..." Kira pointed to the fight between him and Matsumoto during the Aizen incident.

"That's enough, no need to say more."

"but……"

Matsumoto Rangiku slapped the table, stood up, and said seriously: "You are really serious." In an instant, it turned into a big smile again, "But, I'm not hurt at all."

"Well..." Jiliang suddenly felt his self-esteem was frustrated and stopped talking.

"So, it's nothing." Matsumoto Rangiku put her hands on her face and looked out the window and said, "You came to see me like this. Although you can't understand everything by talking about it in person. If you don't meet in person, you won't be able to understand it." I don’t understand anything anymore…”

Kira Izuru lowered his head. Of course he knew what Matsumoto was referring to, and he couldn't help but think of his former captain, Captain Ichimaru.

"Yes...that's really the case."

After Hitsugaya left, he went to the emergency ward of the Fourth Division alone.

Hinamori had an oxygen tube inserted into his mouth and lay quietly on the bed in the emergency room with his eyes closed.

Captain Hitsugaya looked at the girl who had grown up with him since childhood, frowned, and was about to turn around and leave.

"Can... can I talk to her?" Captain Unohana's voice came from behind, "She is waiting for someone very important to her to speak to her."

Captain Hitsugaya stood like this for a while with his back turned, as if he was thinking, but seemed not to be thinking about anything. Then he lowered his head and said, "I have nothing to say to her now."

This seemed to be what Captain Unohana expected, "Is it now?"

"I'm sorry..." and then left.

At the same time, in Kuchiki Byakuya's hospital room upstairs, Renji sat aside and carved on the wooden board with a knife.

"Renji, why are you here?" Byakuya Kuchiki suddenly asked.

Renji was stunned for a moment, lowered his head and said, "I...because I am the vice-captain.

"Why do you think I am still alive?" Byakuya Kuchiki said quietly.

"How could it be? If you die, who should I target to become stronger?"

Kuchiki Byakuya did not answer.

"Captain, I..."

More than half of the day in Soul Society has passed, and the sun is slowly setting.

Broken Bee clasped his shoulders with both hands and lay down in front of the table, quietly looking at the sky that was as red as blood outside. She, the captain of the Second Division and the commander-in-chief of the Xing Army, has never been so vulnerable.

"what's wrong with me……"

Close your eyes, release all your strength, and listen to the monotonous sound outside. A line of tears flowed down almost without warning, giving a warm feeling to the cheeks. It overflowed from the eyes, flowed down the cheeks and stopped at the corners of the mouth, where it slowly dried.

Never mind, she told herself, just one line. I even felt that those were not my own tears.

"What do you want, Su Yi..."

The screen jumps to Shiba's courtyard in Rukongai.

"It's no longer possible, sister."

Shiba Kukaku stepped on the Shiba Rock Eagle who fell to the ground, "What's wrong! There are still a thousand more times!"

"A thousand times! Please, sister." Shiba Iwajiu begged for mercy on the ground, "The injury has not been completely healed. I have been working hard in the previous incident."

Shiba Kūkaku was filled with anger and said, "Hmph", "Don't miss important things. I know that you were almost completely useless in the second half."

"Who would do such a thing..."

"I'll make you regret coming back alive." Shiba Kukaku held his brother on the ground hard, "Die quickly, die, die now."

"That..." At this moment, a voice came from the side.

Shiba Kongkaku looked at the person in front of him, stepped forward and asked in a heavy voice: "What's the matter, Kuchiki Rukia..."

Kuchiki Rukia lowered her head and remained silent, knowing that it was not her time to speak yet.

"Rukia Kuchiki, the god of death who killed my elder brother, I'm asking you what's wrong."

Kuchiki Rukia opened her mouth, but bowed first, and then said: "I'm sorry, I always wanted to come here to apologize earlier."

Shiba Kūkaku and Shiba Iwajiu stood in front of them and listened quietly.

"But...because I am timid and timid, and only know how to escape, I came here so late. I'm sorry, I really have to..."

"That's enough." Shiba Kongkaku waved his hand at this time, and his tone became less heavy, and said, "That's enough, there is no need to apologize repeatedly."

"but."

"Enough said! I have heard what happened from Ukitake. I understand that it is not your fault, but you are the one who regrets it the most. So as long as you apologize, then everything will be wiped out. This is what I have decided in my heart. , so...that's enough..." ..
