In the novel " Shinigami the Unforgiven," Chapter 55, it's time for the eldest brother to honestly cook red bean rice Renji Abarai has always had a knot in his heart, which is his decision to let go of Rukia when they were at the Shin'ō Academy.
The reason is Byakuya Kuchiki.
At that moment, he was terrified. As they brushed past each other, the Reiatsu released unintentionally was as heavy as a mountain.
It was so overwhelming that he could hardly breathe, and he even thought to himself, "Ah, I am absolutely no match for this man."
Rukia goes to the Kuchiki Clan with him, her life will definitely be better than hers.
He was like a wild dog encountering a lion, desperately trying to curl up and cover his mud-stained paws. His trembling body made him appear all the more pathetic.
He loathed that kind of man and could never bring Rukia happiness.
We must put an end to the past and defeat Byakuya Kuchiki.
With this thought in mind, Renji Abarai walked down the mountain, and a group of people immediately surrounded him.
" Renji, how did it go?" "Judging from Rukia's flushed face, I feel there's a good chance." "How's her recovery?"
Renji Abarai scratched his head and said, "There's still no result. Sorry for your help, we didn't even set off fireworks."
"The coordination is lacking."
Kūkaku Shiba remarked that perhaps they should have installed surveillance cameras on the mountaintop, but Orihime Inoue disagreed, believing that those sweet moments should be a closely guarded secret shared by both of them.
Renji Abarai's gaze swept over Ikkaku Madarame, Yumichika Ayasegawa, and finally settled on Shiraishi. " Captain-Commander, I wish to duel with 6th Division Byakuya Kuchiki. I hope you will grant my request."
" Abarai..." Ikkaku Madarame's expression was solemn. He knew Renji Abarai's goal, just as he longed to defeat Kenpachi Zaraki.
Renji Abarai has always trained with the goal of defeating Byakuya Kuchiki, ever since he hoped that Byakuya would teach him Bankai.
He remembers it was at the dojo, holding a small wine cup, when he said that the goal was too unrealistic.
What did Yumichika say again? Ah, right, he also said that the other person will get tired of it, because disillusionment is always easier than dreaming.
Now they've really gone this far.
" Captain-Commander, please grant Abarai's request."
Ikkaku Madarame couldn't help but speak up.
Private fights between team captains are prohibited.
Shiraishi stated this rule, and seeing that Renji Abarai showed no sign of giving up, said, "However, a fight between the brother-in-law and sister-in-law is allowed, so go ahead and do it."
"Yes." Renji Abarai nodded emphatically, his expression resolute. He was determined to defeat Byakuya Kuchiki and bid farewell to the stray dog of the past.
"Until then, let's have a good drink!" "Let's hurry up and set off the fireworks we didn't set off earlier."
Rukia was the first to return to Soul Society, using Shunpo to travel Shunpo to the Kuchiki Clan's current residence. The wind was strong, but it didn't affect her rosy cheeks, and the temperature continued to rise.
The thought of Renji confessing his feelings to her is so overwhelming that it makes my brain burn out.
She rushed into the Kuchiki Clan's house.
In the courtyard, Byakuya Kuchiki was still practicing calligraphy outside, honing his character in this way. Seeing her return, he called out, " Rukia, is your birthday party over?"
Rukia was preoccupied with Renji, so she didn't answer and hurriedly left the courtyard.
Byakuya Kuchiki blinked, somewhat puzzled. He thought his voice should have been quite loud, so why hadn't Rukia heard him?
He frowned slightly, wondering if something had happened at the birthday party, but who should he ask?
Thinking about this question, he pursed his lips. It seemed he didn't have any friends, and didn't even know who to ask.
Is my interpersonal relationship really that poor?
He wasn't aware of this until he used it, and only then did he realize that it didn't really matter. The nobles were an exception; those were the natural network of relationships that the head of the Kuchiki Clan possessed, and he didn't need to bother maintaining them.
Byakuya Kuchiki's mind flashed with Shiraishi's image, and he hesitated. He had always harbored a sense of unease towards that Captain-Commander, both in the past and present.
He was conflicted.
A gentle breeze stirred, Byakuya Kuchiki's gaze turned cold as he turned and asked, "Who?"
"Oh my, Byakuya- kun~ Your reaction is pretty good."
The frivolous voice reminded him of a less-than-pleasant childhood memory: that demon cat would always use the excuse of playing ghost-catching games to leave him in the yard while it went off to find Kisuke Urahara, leaving him to chase after it for ages without ever catching a glimpse of it.
" Yoruichi Shihōin, what are you doing here?"
A slender figure leaped down from the branch, a purple ponytail swishing across her face, a sunny smile spreading across her brown cheeks. "Well, I came here specifically to comfort my lonely little brother who practices calligraphy all by himself with no one to accompany him. You should be happy."
"I didn't invite you here."
Byakuya Kuchiki kept a cold expression on his face, showing he had no need for this woman's sympathy.
Yoruichi Shihōin spread her hands, smiling, and said, "Is this really a good idea? I know why Rukia strangely."
"..." Byakuya Kuchiki pursed his lips and fell silent, wanting to hear her explain the reason.
Yoruichi Shihōin deliberately kept quiet, avoiding joining Inoue the fun with Inoue, wanting to tease the now-grown Byakuya.
Unlike when they were kids, they don't get angry easily anymore.
But the higher the difficulty, the more challenging it becomes.
I'm suddenly a little thirsty and want a cup of tea.
Yoruichi Shihōin put his hands behind his head, swaggered a few steps, and shook his head, saying, "Without tea, my throat feels so dry, and I lose interest in talking."
"You seem to talk a lot," Byakuya Kuchiki replied calmly. His figure blurred and then became three-dimensional again, creating this visual effect only when the figure was about to disappear and then returned.
He handed me a cup of tea.
Yoruichi Shihōin took the drink, sipped it with relish, and said, " Byakuya, your Shunpo has improved greatly; you haven't let my teachings down."
Stop talking nonsense.
Byakuya Kuchiki answered coldly.
Yoruichi Shihōin chuckled and said, "It's really not cute. You clearly had more emotions when you were little, so why did you turn into such a poker face when you grew up?"
Byakuya Kuchiki felt his anger reaching its limit and struggled to suppress it, saying, "Don't make me repeat myself."
"Okay, I'll tell you. Renji Abarai confessed to Rukia. I heard it from Kūkaku. It seems the girl is falling for him."
Yoruichi Shihōin answered with a smile.
" Abarai." Byakuya Kuchiki murmured the name, the image of the Red-Hair youth flashing through his mind, his expression turning grim.
Unlike the original story, Renji Abarai had time to train alongside Byakuya Kuchiki, so now the two could easily be considered strangers.
Some random kid who appeared out of nowhere actually tried to harm his sister?
I will not agree.
"Shouldn't the eldest brother be preparing red bean rice at this time?"
"Shut up."
Byakuya Kuchiki coldly replied, "This concerns Rukia's lifelong happiness, and I must personally oversee it."
