"Ah... ha..."
"What's wrong, Wu Biao? You look so listless first thing in the morning!" Kurosaki Masaki set the rice cooker on the dining table and turned to look at Wu Biao with concern.
"Yeah, it's rare to see Brother Biao looking so listless!" Yuzu chimed in.
Wu Biao pulled out a chair and sat beside Shyarly. With a frustrated scowl, he cursed, "I spent half the night dreaming... No wonder I'm exhausted. That bastard!"
"Huh?" Shyarly turned to him, looking curious. "You actually have dreams?"
Wu Biao was famous for sleeping well. He almost never dreamed.
"It wasn't really a dream. Some old geezer who hadn't talked to anyone in who knows how many years barged into someone else's dream and wouldn't stop running his mouth!"
Hearing this, Kurosaki Isshin immediately looked over. "What, something going on over there again?"
The only one who could enter someone else's dream was Wu Biao's cold, machine-like boss, so Isshin asked.
"It's not work. He said he wanted to help me with something, but I don't know what, exactly." Wu Biao shook his head, then looked up with a grin. "Boss, I'm taking some time off. I'll come back whenever something comes up in the Human World!"
Help him?
Kurosaki Isshin frowned, unsure what kind of help that cold machine could offer Wu Biao. But with Yuzu and Shyarly there, he didn't press for details.
"Then go ahead," Kurosaki Masaki said with a warm smile. "Just be sure to stay safe, Wu Biao!"
Just then, the door to the second floor opened, and Rukia hurried out. She immediately asked Kurosaki Isshin, "Uncle, have you seen where Ichigo went?"
"Ichigo?"
Everyone was taken aback. Yuzu looked at Rukia in confusion. "Sister Rukia, is Big Brother not in his room?"
