Chapter 25: Finally meeting each other
Urahara Kisuke seems to be very kind and has no temper, but in fact he is very difficult to get close to. Many people are deceived by his appearance and cannot see his true cold temperament.
However, Urahara Kisuke showed genuine concern for Natsume at this time. However, let alone Hitsugaya Toshiro and Matsumoto Rangiku, even the keen Natsume did not notice this. This shows how much Urahara Kisuke is. is good at disguise.
"My name is Urahara Kisuke. I am the owner of Urahara Grocery Store. Nice to meet you, Natsume." Urahara Kisuke did not pretend to be like Matsumoto Rangiku just now. After introducing himself, he called
Natsume's last name directly.
Although they clearly knew that they were under investigation, the actions of Rangiku Matsumoto and Kisuke Urahara gave people completely different feelings. At least Natsume had a smile on his face when he was talking to Kisuke Urahara, although the smile was so shallow that you couldn't see it unless you looked carefully. the point.
Rangiku Matsumoto was puzzled by the fact that she was not treated as well as a wretched uncle, but she comforted herself in her heart - it was all because Natsume was too young, and she didn't know what kind of people, especially women, were more attractive
. , that’s why he can’t see his own beauty!
"For humans, your physical fitness is very good. You can recover from your injuries after going home for two days."
Urahara Kisuke then said to Natsume.
"Yes, I understand."
Natsume nodded slightly and took note of Urahara Kisuke's words. Then he hesitated and asked Urahara Kisuke, the "attending doctor", about Tomoe's situation, even though Matsumoto Rangiku had told him before It happened once.
"My friend was injured so seriously, will there be any sequelae?"
This is what Natsume is really worried about. After all, Tomoe completely withstood Kilian's spiritual pressure without any resistance. This has a great impact on the body. The damage is very great.
"Don't worry, your friend's physical fitness is not worse than yours, and since he is a monster, he will recover faster without leaving any sequelae." Urahara Kisuke said while waving his fan, and his casual attitude made Natsume thoroughly relax -
even if it was the first time for Urahara Kisuke and him to meet, if Tomoe was really seriously injured, his attitude would not be so relaxed.
As everyone knows, Urahara Kisuke looks carefree on the surface, but the villain in his heart is so distressed that his brows are almost broken - in order to prevent the fox demon from leaving any sequelae, he even took out his own inventory
. However, the special medicine that I have been researching for a long time has not only few raw materials, but also extremely expensive!
But for some reason, Urahara Kisuke didn't tell Natsume about his sacrifice, and Natsume didn't know about it until a long, long time later, and by that time, their relationship was completely different from what it is today.
Of course, this is all a story for later.
At this time, Natsume had just calmed down when the door over there was opened from the outside again without any notice.
"Xiao Zhi!"
Ba Wei, who was wearing only a coat, exposing a large bandage on his chest and belly, put one hand on the door and called Ba Wei's name weakly but happily.
No, Tomoe's expression can no longer be called joy. It should be described as ecstasy:
"It's great that you're okay!"
Tomoe shouted as he walked towards Natsume. However, as soon as his steps were too fast, He was in too much of a hurry, and secondly, his injuries were not completely healed, and his body was very weak. As soon as his hand left the door, his body swayed a few times, and he fell to the ground as soon as he saw it.
"Be careful, Mr. Ba Wei!"
The little girl's anxious voice came from far away, but because the distance was too far, even if she saw Ba Wei falling to the ground, there was no time to help her.
The three gods of death in the room were quite close, and whoever could reach out a little bit could save Ba Wei from falling down.
However, none of the three gods of death moved!
In other words, it was not that the three Shinigami did not move at all, but when they wanted to make a move, they found that someone was already one step ahead of them to support Ba Wei's weak body.
——
"Why are you running around if you don't just lie down and rest after being so seriously injured!" He
staggered under Tomoe's weight, but Natsume had no time to rejoice, so he blurted out to blame Tomoe.
God knows that when he saw Tomoe staggering and about to fall, Natsume's heartbeat stopped for a moment. Even if he knew that even if he did fall, the monster's strong physique would prevent him from getting more injured, but even if In this way, the body was still faster than the brain. Before the brain could think, the body had quickly climbed up from the tatami and caught Ba Wei's tilted body in time.
"How can I have the time to rest when I can't see you safe and sound?"
Tomoe seemed not to have heard Natsume's reproach. He stretched out his hand and hugged Natsume fiercely in his arms, as if he was going to crush him. , and I don’t know where he got such great strength from his body that can’t even stand still now: “
I will definitely protect you from now on and never let you get hurt again, Xiaozhi!”
Natsume raised his hand and touched it. With the gauze on Ba Wei's waist, the expression on his face softened for some time:
"Fool, you have protected me. If you hadn't appeared in time, I would have died long ago, and you wouldn't have suffered. Such a serious injury!"
Speaking of Tomoe's injury, Natsume's eyes darkened, and something flashed in his eyes.
How could Natsume be indifferent to Tomoe who risked his life to save him? If he had acquiesced to Ba Wei staying at home because of his meticulous care for him, then there was no reluctance at all now.
What else could I be dissatisfied with about a guy who risked his life for me?
——
"Ahem..."
A cough broke the warm atmosphere between Natsume and Tomoe, and everyone in the room simultaneously turned their attention to the guy who ruined the atmosphere—
Matsumoto Rangiku!
Rangiku Matsumoto pretended not to see the suddenly cold glare in Tomoe's eyes, shrugged innocently, and said with a smile: "Although the
scene of Shota and the handsome boy hugging each other is very loving, have you forgotten something? Important things?"
Matsumoto Rangiku asked and answered directly without waiting for anyone to answer:
"You two are still sick. There will be many opportunities to show your affection. Isn't the most important thing now to recover from your injuries. Let's not talk about Tomoe, who is almost unable to hold on anymore. Well, let’s talk about Natsume boy, your sudden action also caused the wound to burst, right? Don’t take Urahara’s efforts seriously!"

Turn each otherNext chapter: Chapter 27 Healing
"Uh..."
Matsumoto Rangiku's words made Tomoe stiff up, and he pushed Natsume's body away conditionally.
Natsume, who was already weak, was pushed by Tomoe and almost fell to the ground. He looked at Tomoe's ears that were stained with a blush and looked at him speechlessly. He really didn't know what to say - nothing happened between the two of us
. Isn’t it okay? But why are you so red-faced and guilty now?
Sometimes Natsume feels that Tomoe doesn't look like a cunning demon fox at all.
But this time Natsume looked down on Tomoe. After all, Tomoe had lived for so many years. Although he would be a little dazed when facing Natsume, it was because he cared too much about Natsume. He had no feelings for Matsumoto Rangiku.
It was Toshiro Hitsugaya who killed Killian, not Rangiku Matsumoto!
"Are you so envious of the relationship between me and Xiaozhi?"
Ba Wei stretched out his hand to pull Natsume back, and then the two of them sat on the tatami together. After all, they were both seriously ill at this time, and standing was too strenuous.
Then Tomoe looked up at Matsumoto Rangikuchi, and as his eyes moved, against his pale face due to excessive blood loss, Tomoe looked a little charming at this moment: "Is it because I didn't show affection to you, Miss Matsumoto?"
As soon as Tomoe's words came out, the corners of Matsumoto Rangiku's mouth twitched. However, before she could say anything, Tomoe immediately continued: "Your request is a bit difficult for me, even though you are one of my saviors, but don’t like to force myself. Your figure is indeed good, but that’s all. As for your face... tsk..."
After uttering an inexplicable syllable at the end, Ba Wei stopped. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to continue talking. I went down, but I really had no strength.
Tomoe's injuries were more serious than Natsume's. It had taken most of his strength to walk here alone from the resting room. Now that he had spoken like this again, he already felt that it was a little difficult to breathe. .
"Am I that bad?"
The color on Matsumoto Rangiku's face changed with Tomoe's words. In the past, she was very confident in herself. She felt that even if she was not a peerless beauty, she was still a great beauty. Otherwise, why would she? Why are there so many male Shinigami in Soul Society vying to pay attention to him?
But now, after listening to Tomoe's words, Matsumoto Rangiku had doubts about her appearance for the first time -
are those men really just interested in her figure?
This was the first time Natsume had seen Tomoe's poisonous tongue. In front of him, Tomoe had always been gentle and even "virtuous". Natsume looked at Tomoe in surprise, with a smile in his eyes.
Tomoe seemed to be talking to Matsumoto Rangiku, but in fact he was secretly paying attention to Natsume's expression. After seeing that he was not angry because he was disrespectful to his savior, he felt relieved and relieved at the same time. Feel.
Natsume has never made it clear that she wants to stay by his side before. In order not to be driven away by him, Tomoe naturally wants to show his best side, so his nature is naturally a bit repressed.
But now Natsume's expression lets Tomoe know that he doesn't care about it, which means that she no longer has to suppress her true nature in front of him!
How could this make Ba Wei not be overjoyed?
——
"Do you two lie down by yourself or let me help you lie down, Mr. Tomoe, Natsume-san?" Suddenly, an unkind voice sounded in everyone's ears, Natsume and Tomoe shivered at the same time, and it was clear that
Urahara The threat in Kisuke's voice was not strong, but the two of them knew intuitively that if they really dared to choose the second option, the end would definitely be very tragic.
It is said that those who understand current affairs are heroes. Even Natsume and Tomoe are very creative people and do not like to be threatened. However, at this time, they both decided to obey Urahara Kisuke. After all, it is better to listen to the doctor. Hurry!
Is this really true?
Well, only Natsume and Tomoe know that.
Poor Matsumoto Rangiku, let alone others, even her captain ignored her who was pretending to be pitiful!
However, whether Natsume and Tomoe were lying down or not, there was an episode in the middle - Tomoe held
Natsume's hand and refused to let go, clearly showing his desire to stay in the same room as Natsume!
Urahara Kisuke didn't say much about this, and just asked the girl Xiao Yu who had screamed before Tomoe was about to fall to help him bring another set of quilts.
After struggling for a long time, Natsume and Tomoe were really tired. After all, their injuries were not fully healed and they had just woken up from a coma, so after closing their eyes, they both fell asleep in a short while.
Speaking of which, both Natsume and Tomoe are very vigilant and rarely fall asleep in front of strangers. However, perhaps because the three Shinigami in front of them saved them, Natsume subconsciously felt that they could be trusted, so Natsume Hebawei was really asleep, not pretending.
Unbeknownst to one person and one demon, after the two of them fell asleep, the three Death Gods in the room stopped showing various expressions on their faces. After looking at each other, they stood up and walked out at the same time.
"What do you think of this man and this monster, Urahara?"
After changing rooms, the first person to break the silence was Mr. Shota Captain Toshiro Hitsugaya.
"It's just a human with spiritual power and a demon fox who is loyal to his master. It has nothing to do with Soul Society or Hueco Mundo." Urahara Kisuke's expression was serious at this time. How could he still have the gentleness he had when he faced Tomoe just now
?
Even though Urahara Kisuke looks unreliable, in fact, he is also very reliable when it comes to serious matters.
"Should we erase their memories of meeting Killian?"
Matsumoto Rangiku asked.
"Of course."
Hitsugaya Toshiro glanced at his vice-captain with cold eyes: "
After all, they are not the gods of death. They cannot keep the memory of Killian, as that would easily cause chaos in the world." -
"I think so . There is no need to do anything to their memories."
Just when Matsumoto Rangiku had taken out the memory replacer, Urahara Kisuke suddenly said, and then after two pairs of confused eyes looked over, he explained calmly: "You have already seen the results of the investigation of Natsume Takashi and Tomoe, but one thing you may not know is that Natsume Takashi's new guardian, Ishida Ryuken, is not an ordinary person."
