A foreigner's journey

Standing behind Rukia was a black-haired girl who was only about 1.4 meters tall.

[Fragile porcelain], this was Lucia's first impression of this girl.

She has black hair hanging down to her waist. She has an extremely beautiful appearance and a slender body that looks extremely fragile. She is wearing a green dress and holding a plastic bag in her hand. Her beautiful big eyes are watching Rukia Kuchiki quietly.

"Ah, it's Nanami. Lucia, this is Heather's sister, Nanami."

Ichigo quickly said: "Nanami, this is Rukia Kuchiki, she is Heather's classmate like me."

"Hello, Sister Nanami." At this time, Lucia also realized that her behavior of not speaking and staring at others was too rude. She quickly stood up from her seat and gave Nanami a curtsy with her skirts pinched.

Nanami also curtsied in return, more gracefully than Rukia: "Hello, Rukia Kuchiki. My brother has caused you trouble at school, and I hope you can forgive me."

Rebecca, who was holding a dinner plate not far away, couldn't help rolling her eyes.

After saying hello to Rukia and Ichigo, Nanami looked at Heather and said in a cold voice: "Brother, I'm back."

Heather smiled and nodded: "Welcome back, you can go to the second floor to rest first."

"yes."

Watching Nanami go up the stairs, Rukia hurriedly leaned into Ichigo's ear and whispered: "What's going on? Is she really Heather's sister? She is completely different from Heather and Rebecca! "

"Nanami is three years younger than Heather and two years older than Rebecca. She has not been in good health since she was a child, so she looks a bit slender. But Nanami is very smart and has started studying college courses at home." Ichigo drank. Oral oolong tea.

Rukia nodded and stopped talking.

Perhaps because Heather's father told regular customers in advance that the restaurant would be closed today, it was rare for Juxia downstairs to not have a long queue outside the door during opening hours.

This was a bargain for Ichigo and Rukia. They ordered an 'Avocado Katsuobushi Salad' (900 yen), Ichigo chose the 'Seafood Don' (4500 yen), and Rukia chose the 'Kikishita' Don' (3500 yen), and finally these are today's recommended dishes written on the small blackboard.

When the avocado and fish salad was served, Rukia didn't know if she was dazzled. She always felt like bursts of golden light, and then the fresh aroma entered her nose.

The katsuobushi flower is covered with cut avocado and fresh cucumber slices. When you eat it, you can taste the secret sauce made by Kikujistami. Rukia's eyes narrowed as she ate it.

tasty! Ichigo is not bragging, this restaurant is really delicious!

Then after the two people's rice bowls were served, Rukia saw the golden light again and had hallucinations?

Heather also thoughtfully gave me a small plate of spicy mentaiko, saying that Ichigo Kurosaki liked it.

Ichigo's seafood bowl was filled with sea urchin, tuna, scallops, fish roe and salmon, and was covered with rice. The look on Ichigo's face when he ate it in his mouth made Rukia want to take a photo of it as a piece of black history.

Rukia's Kikuxia Don was a luxurious beef rice bowl with fried shrimp tempura. After eating, Rukia had only one thought, that is, when Heather waits for a hundred years, she must be the first to lead him to Soul Society. Then help him open a restaurant closest to Division 13.

Just as the two were enjoying their meal, customers began to come in one after another.

"Eh? Didn't the boss say we're going to be closed today?" An office worker opened the wooden door strangely, and then he suddenly realized when he saw Heather standing in the kitchen behind the bar: "It turns out that Heather is temporarily subbing in. Fortunately, he came today. Okay. Then...a bottle of sake, an asparagus and bacon roll, and a Kikuxia donburi."

"Okay! One each of sake, asparagus and bacon rolls and chrysanthemum donburi!" Rebecca's loud and cheerful voice sounded in the store.

"Ah~~ It's Heather-kun! Compared to Boss Suzhan's coldness and indifference, Heather-kun's warmth is just as touching. I want to sit in front of the bar! Heather-kun, a bottle of beer and an avocado and bonito flakes Salad, a piece of squid tempura~~”

Looking up at the charming woman with a reddish face in front of the bar, Heather showed a gentle smile: "Miss Yuriko came very early. The avocado bonito salad and squid tempura are too much for you to eat alone, so I'll give you a half portion."

Heather's words immediately attracted a burst of sweet shouts: "Heather-kun is so considerate~~!"

Ichigo whispered to Rukia: "Usually when Heather's father is here, the atmosphere in the store is even more lively."

Lucia imagined the middle-aged version of Heather and nodded immediately: "...I can imagine it."

This meal made Ichigo and Rukia very satisfied. That is to say, when paying the bill, Ichigo's heart twitched slightly when he looked at the deflated small wallet. The pocket money he had accumulated in daily life melted away like spring snow in the sunshine. It seems that I will have to find a place to work part-time in my spare time in a while.

The street lights illuminated this not-so-prosperous street, and Rukia and Ichigo walked side by side on the street.

"I didn't expect Heather's cooking skills to be so high. I'm really impressed." Rukia said with satisfaction: "I have never eaten better food than this in all my years in Soul Society."

Ichigo shrugged: "Heather, his father's cooking level is higher."

Lucia's eyes lit up: "Really? Then let's eat again another day!"

Ichigo immediately dismissed: "Come on, my wallet will be empty if I eat this time. If you eat again next time, you will treat me."

The two of them walked noisily in the direction of Kurosaki Clinic. There was one thing that Rukia didn't mention to Ichigo, and that was Heather's sister [Nanami].

For some reason, Rukia always felt that there was a familiar feeling lingering on Nanami.

It must be...an illusion, right?

…………………………

After closing time, Orihime and Heather cleaned the kitchen and dining room and returned to the house next to Kiku's downstairs.

This is also a Japanese-style two-story building, and its area is larger than Juxialou. Heather, Nanami, Rebecca and Orihime all had their own rooms. Orihime said good night to everyone and then went back to her room to sleep. For some reason she always felt very sleepy today.

Heather and her two sisters were left sitting on the sofa in the living room on the first floor, watching TV and chatting.

Heather sat on the soft sofa, crossed her legs and looked at the constantly switching images on the TV screen, and asked casually: "Are there no 'ears' around?"

"It's all cleaned up. Ah, it's almost 10 o'clock. Please switch to TV Asahi. Thank you." Nanami shook her two little feet and directed Rebecca to operate the TV remote control.

"Asahi? Are you an elderly person? Let's go back to TV Tokyo! I want to watch "The Gunslinger"!" Rebecca couldn't help complaining. The main audience of Asahi TV is the elderly, so it is also called the station for the elderly. Most Japanese dramas are the type that last for more than ten seasons and are long and stinky.

Heather couldn't help but complain: "Aren't you a gun demon? Why do you like watching cartoons?"

"Brother, you don't even know how boring hell is! He was beaten away by the United States after he arrived in the human world and didn't play for long. After accumulating strength for a few years, he wanted to come back, but he happened to encounter that bastard Chainsaw when he came to the human world. As a result, he was killed by him. It was sawed into pieces and then picked up by the Soviets. Of course, the chainsaw didn't fare much better either. He was shot several times by me and was dying before being picked up by that boy named Denji."

Rebecca sat cross-legged on the sofa, with a potato chip bag and a large bottle of Pepsi in her legs, her eyes fixed on the cartoon on the TV screen:

"I finally got a human body from you, brother. I want to eat, drink and have fun! I want to make up for it! Now don't talk to me, the cartoon has started!"

Hey, it's not so much a devil of a gun as a devil of a house. Heather regretted spending ten flames to create a human body for the Gun Demon.

"Qishi, how are you doing there?" It seems that Qishi is more reliable, although his methods may be a bit... over the top.

Qishi patted the plastic bag next to her gently: "I got it. The resistance was fierce, so I used some rough methods."

"Uh... that guy is dead. You didn't hurt any innocent people, right?"

"Of course not. After all, it is the master's order. Although the master is perverted and useless, he still likes big..."

"Okay, okay, that's enough about me."

Heather quickly stopped Qi Shi from talking further: "Show me the thing you got."

Qishi nodded and took out a strange bookmark from the plastic bag beside him, and handed it to Heather:

"This is Tsukishima Hidekuro's [Book of the End]."
