Chapter 181

"Present World", Empty Seat Town.

On the afternoon of the second day after Heiqi Yihu became a trainee Shinigami, Heiqi Zhenxiao, Heiqi Yixin, Heiqi Youzi, and Heiqi Xiali, who had gone out traveling, finally returned home.

Brother Yihu, I brought you a specialty~

When Heiqi Youzi opened the living room door, rushed into the room, and ran straight to her longed-for older brother, she made an astonishing discovery: a black-haired girl had appeared in the living room.

Wuuu...

Exactly when Heiqi Youzi saw the girl, her big, watery eyes instantly filled with tears; before the girl could explain to Heiqi Yihu, Heiqi Youzi turned and ran out of the house, then shouted at her parents in front of her: "Mother, Father, it's terrible! Brother he, brother he is starting to bring girls into the house! Although I had long anticipated this day's arrival, it's still too early, far too early!!"

Ah la?!

Heiqi Yihu he actually opened his apertures, it's really not easy~

That kid is fierce all day; I thought besides Longgui and Zhiji, no other girls would associate with him~

After Heiqi Zhenxiao heard her daughter's words, she smiled and gently stroked her left cheek, recalling her first child, Heiqi Yihu, from birth to the present, she couldn't help but emit a sigh of emotion.

In Heiqi Zhenxiao's memory, her good son Heiqi Yihu was fine at home, but as soon as he stepped out the front gate, he seemed to become another person, directly entering rampage mode—either fighting someone or on his way to fight someone……

Originally, in Heiqi Zhenxiao's view, a child like Heiqi Yihu would not associate with any other girls besides Longgui, whose reading is female but writing is berserker, and Zhiji, a soft and cute girl; but now she sees she underestimated her eldest son's charm.

Mother, how can you say that?

No matter how you look at it, Brother Yihu is only fifteen!

Love right now is still too early!

Heiqi Youzi retorted angrily after hearing Heiqi Zhenxiao's words.

Really?! I think it's still okay~

Heiqi Zhenxiao looked at the angry Heiqi Youzi and answered hesitantly.

In any case, absolutely not!

Heiqi Youzi emphasized forcefully upon hearing that. Now Heiqi Youzi has initially revealed her brother-complex attribute! In fact, Heiqi Yixin has always been completely at ease with his two daughters, never worrying that Heiqi Youzi and Heiqi Xiali would have their hearts and bodies taken by blond delinquents, because his eldest son Heiqi Yihu is the blondest of blonds in all of Empty Seat Town!

Together with Heiqi Yihu, who is the king of delinquents and the king of minotaur-people, Heiqi Youzi and Heiqi Xiali, who grew up with him, have no interest whatsoever in other blond delinquents……

Anyway, let's go in and have a look!

If Heiqi Yihu that guy does something unforgivable to that girl, I will never forgive him……

At that moment, Heiqi Yixin spoke, his eyes firm, revealing a hint of killing intent.

Father is right!

Heiqi Youzi finally showed a relieved smile after hearing Heiqi Yixin's words.

Hehe~

Heiqi Yixin smiled faintly upon hearing that.

Yes, the reason Heiqi Yixin just spoke such firm words is precisely because he clearly knows that as long as he says this, his daughter will surely bring him a happy smile; in Heiqi Yixin's view, nothing in this world is more important than his daughter's smile.

Then……

Kurosaki Residence, living room.

Heiqi Yixin, Heiqi Zhenxiao, Heiqi Youzi, and Heiqi Xiali, the four of them, sat on the living room sofa like judges of Room 46.

Standing before the four people were Heiqi Yihu and Xiumu Luqiya.

"So, do you have any questions?"

Heiqi Yihu had his hands in his pockets, his brows furrowed; today's Heiqi Yihu was still handsome.

"Brother Ichigo, so handsome~"

Youzi glanced at Ichigo, and little stars appeared in her eyes.

"No! Impossible! Youzi, you must become resolute!"

"You must protect your older brother well, and not let him keep making mistakes."

Youzi muttered to herself, she decided to properly protect Heiqi Yihu.

Thus, Youzi looked at Rukia Kuchiki beside Ichigo with a gaze slightly tinged with killing intent, thinking to herself: "It's this guy, the bad woman who seduced my brother!"

"Uncle, Aunt, and Ichigo Kurosaki's sisters, good afternoon~"

"Nice to meet you, my name is Rukia Kuchiki~"

"I am a classmate of Ichigo Kurosaki's class; due to some special reasons, I plan to temporarily stay at your home today, hoping not to cause you any trouble."

Just as Youzi, like a teacup dog, used her cute eyes, trying her best to look fierce, glaring fiercely at Rukia Kuchiki, Rukia Kuchiki, composed and generous, began to introduce her background to Isshin and the others.

"Kuchiki? Kuchiki Rukia classmate?"

Upon hearing Rukia Kuchiki's self-introduction, Isshin's feet kept moving up and down, tapping the living room floor; he seemed a bit nervous.

"Here~"

"May I ask, Mr. Kurosaki, what are your orders?"

Upon hearing that, Rukia Kuchiki looked toward the questioner, Isshin Kurosaki.

"Why do you want to temporarily stay at our house? Because……"

Isshin Kurosaki asked Rukia Kuchiki.

"I had a fight with my family, and right now I'm in the middle of running away from home……"

After hearing Isshin's question, Rukia Kuchiki showed a sad expression, her eyes brimming with tears as she looked at everyone and said: "Besides here, I have nowhere else to go; I don't know if kind uncle and aunt could take me in?!"

"Take her in! She's really too pitiful……"

As Rukia Kuchiki's words fell, the previously extremely stubborn Youzi immediately gave in; she is kind-hearted and cannot bear to see others act pitiful.

"Youzi, your surrender speed is too fast?!"

Xiali, hearing that, spoke somewhat speechlessly.

"But, Sister Rukia is really so pitiful!"

"Xiali, you wouldn't mind Sister Rukia, would you?"

The wanderer heard him, looked at Xia Li, and spoke.

"I didn't care from the start~"

Xia Li waved her hand, and with a punch drove off a spirit that had suddenly approached the wanderer.

"In that case, Rukia, you can stay~"

"You can stay as long as you like, until you reconcile with your family!"

Immediately after, Isshin and Masaki exchanged a glance, having understood each other's meaning from the look in each other's eyes, and the two of them smiled at Rukia.

"Thank you for your generosity~"

Kuchiki Rukia heard the words and showed a somewhat happy smile.

Hah?!

For a moment, only Kurosaki Ichigo, who wanted to drive Rukia away, stood frozen in place.

This is completely different from what he imagined!

Kuchiki Rukia, if I'm not mistaken, she should be the adopted daughter of the Kuchiki family?! I remember she's from the 13th Division, which is the subordinate of that Kaien guy, right? Oh wow! I was really scared; I originally thought, given her knowledge of our Shiba family, she would immediately recognize my identity!

After all, her gaze toward me from start to finish was like looking at a stranger. Turns out the Kuchiki family's adopted daughter is face-blind—what astonishing news! I'll have to find time to tell Kuchiki Sojun and Kyoka them; no matter what, we're companions of the 'Five Great Noble Families,' we must learn to help each other.

But speaking of which, my son's charm is not bad! He actually conquered the Kuchiki family's adopted daughter in one fell swoop. If Ichigo and Rukia were to marry, would their child take the surname Kuchiki, Shiba, or Kurosaki? What a headache!

But speaking of which, I'd love to see the expression of that insufferable current head of the Kuchiki family, Byakuya Kuchiki, when he sees that I've used the Kuchiki family's resources to cultivate his older sister, only to have my brat kidnap her—what face will he make? This is truly something to look forward to~

After Rukia entered the house, Kurosaki Isshin had been worried sick, silently thinking to himself. In fact, Kurosaki Isshin didn't realize that, after coming to the 'mortal world' and losing his Shinigami powers, becoming like an ordinary human, over these twenty years of natural aging, his appearance has undergone an earth-shattering change—from a handsome young man to an old lecher.

Such a heaven-defying change, even ordinary Shinigami wouldn't recognize it! It's completely normal that Kuchiki Rukia didn't recognize Shiba Isshin's identity~

As for Masaki, under Kurosaki Isshin's nourishment, she has become even more gorgeous and charming. Even though she's now in her forties, just looking at her appearance she still looks like she's in her twenties or thirties. Added to that the unique allure of a mature woman, Masaki looks like a blooming sunflower, constantly radiating golden light~

After that, Kuchiki Rukia successfully took up residence in Kurosaki Ichigo's home.

What annoyed Kurosaki Ichigo the most was that Rukia lived in the closet of his room, making him feel immensely uncomfortable; his personal space just vanished without a trace……

The next day.

Taking advantage of it being Monday, Kurosaki Ichigo casually ate a few bites of breakfast, then hurried off to Karakura First High School; he'd had enough of this household, and enough of getting along with Rukia, and he needed some time to himself.

Good morning, big brother~

On his way to school, Kurosaki Ichigo was met with deferential looks from countless delinquents and biker gangs, who then bowed and repeatedly greeted him—whether they were students of his own school, outsiders, or even graduates who had half a foot into the underworld, upon seeing Kurosaki Ichigo they would all bow and offer greetings.

These greetings were earned by Kurosaki Ichigo with his own fists, one punch at a time……

Morning~

Ichigo slung his backpack over one shoulder with one hand; his eyes regarded everyone equally, or rather, he basically looked down on anyone—whoever greeted him, he merely gave a slight nod and then said nothing more.

Thus Ichigo, like a gang boss, arrived at Karakura First High School amidst the praises of countless underlings……

Ichigo, good morning~

As soon as Ichigo entered high school, a classmate ran over to greet him.

But that classmate's appearance was too lewd, so Ichigo ignored him and replied, 'Good morning, Asano~'

Ichigo, you didn't even look at me!

Asano, the brown-haired boy, spoke to Ichigo dissatisfiedly.

No need to look at you; hearing your voice is enough……

Ichigo, with his backpack on, casually replied.

Hey, Ichigo, good morning~

When Ichigo strode to the year where the first-years were, at the entrance of his own class, coincidentally arriving at the same time was a gentle boy with excellent noble bearing and immaculately groomed hair, who smiled at Ichigo.

Oh, good morning, Mizushiro Kojima~

Ichigo glanced at the boy before him and gave a slight nod.

Immediately afterward, Ichigo opened the classroom door and walked in……

Ichigo seemed not to stop his steps for anyone.

Ichigo, I heard your family went out traveling over the weekend?

Just as Ichigo had entered the classroom, he heard the voice of his childhood friend, Tatsuki Arisawa.

To be precise, everyone except me went on a trip.

Ichigo, upon hearing that, corrected him.

Hahaha, you've been left behind again……

Arisawa, upon hearing that, slapped Ichigo's shoulder hard and laughed.

'Yeah.' Ichigo, hearing Arisawa's words, was speechless, pursed his lips, then stubbornly said: 'I myself wasn't planning to go anyway.'

You're still as stubborn as ever!

Arisawa said, then promptly locked Ichigo's neck in a playful headlock. Looking over all of Karakura Town, the only high schooler who dares to put Ichigo in a headlock is his childhood friend Arisawa—since they've grown up together, there's no need for restraint between them.

Nonsense! I wasn't being stubborn back then……

I'm telling the truth; I just love speaking the truth~

Ichigo knows Arisawa too well, so he naturally knows which incident Arisawa is referring to.

Probably back when they were kids, in karate class, every time Arisawa beat him, he would cry out, 'I'll definitely defeat you in one go!'

Although Ichigo has never actually defeated Arisawa, who let him, after turning twelve and entering junior high, his body began to develop uncontrollably, his strength, speed, and technique already surpassing normal human limits; sometimes Ichigo wonders, maybe even the cartoon hero Ultraman—or a failed Ultraman—wouldn't be his match?!

Stubborn again!

Arisawa, upon hearing that, exclaimed angrily.

This guy Ichigo is just unbearable in this regard—he's never once given in from childhood to adulthood!

Ichigo, Arisawa~

Just then, a soft, cute voice sounded, attracting Ichigo and Arisawa.

Only a pair of ample breasts first entered the sight of Ichigo and Ryuki, then a head of orange hair appeared, drawing their gaze.

"Orihime!"

Ryuki, upon seeing Orihime, immediately released his embrace of Ichigo.

Then he ran to Orihime's side and gave her a big hug.

Perhaps because Ryuki used too much force, Orihime's proud ample bosom bounced up and down.

Of course, all this was ignored by Ichigo, who now had a completely tranquil demeanor, after all that annoying guy probably wouldn't come bother him today~

"Everyone, hurry back to your seats!"

Just as Ichigo sat in his seat spacing out, Orihime looking at Ichigo, Ryuki looking at Orihime, Ichigo's homeroom teacher Etchi Miyu, known as Xiaomei Laoshi, a woman wearing glasses, her eyes flashing with wise light, walked into the classroom.

"Okay, Xiaomei Laoshi~"

When everyone saw Etchi Miyu, they all returned to their seats.

"Today I'll introduce a transfer student to everyone~"

Miyu, after seeing everyone return to their seats, smiled at the girl outside the door: "Alright, you can come in!"

"Okay, teacher~"

After Miyu's words fell, a voice suddenly sounded outside the classroom door, a voice Ichigo found extremely familiar, and there walked in a person with an onion-head, strutting proudly.

"Hello everyone! I am Kuchiki Rukia!"

"From today onward, I'll be your classmate~"

"Please guide me, everyone~"

Then, under everyone's astonished gaze, the onion-headed person spoke his name.

"Huh?! What kind of joke..."

When Ichigo heard the name Kuchiki Rukia, he finally snapped out of it, staring at Rukia with widened eyes, he shouted angrily.

"Then dear Ichigo Kurosaki classmate, let us begin, let us start our happy, wonderful school life~"

Rukia smiled at Ichigo and replied.

"Not happy at all! Bastard!"

Ichigo, in response, shouted angrily.
