In the candy shop, Natsuhiko stepped on a bench and stood in front of the counter of the grocery store. He looked at the pink-haired girl in front of him and asked, "Vice-captain of Baqian Stream, what would you like to order this time?"
Natsuhiko had been in the candy shop for almost a month. Kusanagi Hachiryu came to the candy shop most often. She often came once every two or three days and bought a big bag of candy each time.
God knew why she liked candy so much.
Kusanagi Hachiryu stood in front of the counter and pointed at the candy on the counter. She said, "Give me this and this."
Natsuhiko quickly weighed the candy for her. After filling a big bag, he calculated the price. After receiving the money, he handed the bag to Kusanagi Hachiryu.
Kusanagi Hachiryu took the bag and couldn't wait to take out a candy. She peeled it open and put it in her mouth. A happy smile appeared on her lovely face and she walked toward the door with satisfaction.
However, Natsuhiko said, "Vice-captain of Baqian Stream, wait a minute."
"Xiao Yan, what's the matter?"
Kusanagi Hachiryu turned around and didn't know why Natsuhiko stopped her.
Natsuhiko didn't mind the nickname she gave him. Instead, he took out a box from under the counter and handed it to Kusanagi Hachiryu. He said, "This box of candy is for you as a thank you gift for introducing me to the job."
Natsuhiko would finish his work in two days. He had already received this month's salary in advance. He bought this box of candy and planned to give it to Kusanagi Hachiryu.
Kusanagi Hachiryu saw the box and her eyes lit up. But then she said, "This box of candy is very expensive. I can't accept it."
Natsuhiko scratched his head and said, "If it weren't for your help, I wouldn't have found this job."
"Then I'll accept it."
Grass Deer Eight Thousand Flow didn't refuse. It accepted the candy and hopped away.
Natsuhiko waited for Kusanagi Hachiryu to leave, but he felt a little sad. He got a job through Ba Qian Liu's recommendation. In addition, after a month of interaction, Natsuhiko was grateful to Ba Qian Liu, but he also felt a little regretful.
She would disappear in the future, and he was powerless to change that.
Kill Kenpachi Motegi's enemies in advance to prevent him from liberating the Zanpakuto?
However, the enemy Kenpachi Motegi encountered was very powerful. After unsealing, he still needed Shikai to defeat V. Even with Bankai, he couldn't defeat M.
Would he be able to reach the level of the Eighth Blade's ability to unlock the Bankai after the seal was unlocked in sixty years?
Natsuhiko felt that with his current training, it would be an extravagant hope for his spiritual pressure to be comparable to Kenpachi Motegi's without his blindfold.
Natsuhiko could only put this matter in his heart, and he could only find a solution bit by bit in a long time.
Natsuhiko worked in the candy shop for two more days, and then he finished his month-long work and returned to school.
There were seven days before the start of school. Itsuru Kira returned to the dormitory. At the beginning of the spring break, he applied for a temporary court permit and returned home.
Natsuhiko, Lucia, and Renji Asanai were unwilling to return to the Xu Diao District, and they all stayed in school.
After Itsuru Kira came to the dormitory, he put down the package he carried with him, took out a paper bag from it, and handed it to Natsuhiko and Renji Asanai, and said, "These are some gifts I brought from home. They are famous products of Jing 'an District. Renji Asanai, Natsuhiko, try them."
"What is it?"
After Renji Asanai took it, he opened the bag and found several round biscuits inside. He picked one up and asked in confusion, "What is this?"
Itsuru Kira smiled and said, "This is Tongluo Yaki, the famous food of Jing 'an District where my family lives."
Renji Asanai handed it to Natsuhiko and said, "Natsuhiko, try it first."
Natsuhiko had long been used to Renji Asanai's care for him. Every time there was food, he would give it to him and let him eat it first.
Of course, being used to it did not mean taking it for granted. Natsuhiko remembered all the good things Renji Asanai had done for him, and he would definitely take revenge, no, repay him in the future.
Natsuhiko took the Tongluo Yaki, put it to his mouth, and took a bite. First, he felt the soft and sweet taste of the bread crust made of honey and flour, followed by the smooth taste of the filling mixed with bean paste and syrup.
It was very delicious.
The rich taste mixed with the sweet taste was intoxicating. Natsuhiko soon finished the Tongluo Yaki.
Itsuru Kira asked with a smile, "How is it?"
Natsuhiko licked the bean paste at the corner of his mouth and said, "It's delicious."
Renji Asanai also picked up a Tongluo Yaki, put it to his mouth and took a bite. His eyes lit up and he said, "It's really good.
Kira, don't you want to eat it? "
Itsuru Kira waved his hand and said, "I'm tired of eating these. I brought them for you."
Renji Asanai finished the Tongluo Yaki in a few bites and said, "Forget it. I don't like sweet things. Let Natsuhiko eat the rest."
After Renji Asanai ate the Tongluo Yaki in his hand, he threw the bag in front of Natsuhiko.
Natsuhiko was slightly stunned. How could he not see that Renji Asanai said that because he said it was delicious and wanted to let him have it?
Renji Asanai had done this many times.
From the first meeting to the nine months in the hangout area, and nearly a year in the dormitory, Renji Asanai had already treated Natsuhiko as his younger brother.
He would let Natsuhiko eat everything first. As long as Natsuhiko liked it, he would give it to him.
Lucia did the same. She also treated Natsuhiko as her younger brother.
Natsuhiko would never forget Renji Asanai and Lucia's care for him. He thought about how Lucia would be in danger in the future. She would be locked up in prison and tied up. She would only be one step away from being executed.
Renji Asanai would also be seriously injured while protecting Lucia. These were all things that would happen in the future.
Natsuhiko did not want Lucia to be imprisoned again. He also did not want Renji Asanai to be seriously injured. However, the former's enemy was Aizen, while the latter's enemy was Kuroki Hakuya. One was a special force, while the other was a captain. It was not easy to deal with them.
This made Natsuhiko feel somewhat helpless. It was just like how he wanted to save Kusanagi Hachiryu, but he didn't have the strength to match it.
Was there really nothing he could do?
He had transmigrated into this world, but he couldn't change the fates of the people around him. How could he be willing?
Natsuhiko secretly swore in his heart that he had to change their fates.
For this goal, Natsuhiko had to work hard and not waste any time to increase his strength. Only then might he have a chance of saving more people.
With this in mind, Natsuhiko looked at the time. It was already evening, but there was still some time before lights out.
Natsuhiko took out his Bamboo Blade and walked out of the dorm. When Renji Asanai saw this scene, he asked curiously, "Natsuhiko, what are you going to do?"
Natsuhiko waved the Bamboo Blade in his hand and said, "I'm going to the training room to train."
With that said, Natsuhiko carried the Bamboo Blade and ran out of the dorm for the training room.
In the room, Renji Asanai said, "Natsuhiko is so talented, but he's still so hardworking. He's much stronger than us."
When Itsuru Kira heard this, he sighed and said, "Now that Natsuhiko has already skipped a grade and entered the fourth year, he will definitely graduate early. With his talent, he should be recruited by the Thirteen Regiments in advance and focused on grooming him. In the future, he might even become a captain-level Grim Reaper. When that happens, the gap between us and him will only widen."
"In that case, we have to work hard as well. We can't let him fall too far behind."
Renji Asanai suddenly stood up and said, "If he's much stronger than me, I'll lose face as a big brother."
With that said, Renji Asanai grabbed the Bamboo Blade and left the dorm. Itsuru Kira smiled and took out the items in his bag and placed them on the table.
