Chapter 18 - Chapter 17: Resting after the cold

???: "Oh! You are back! How are things going with you?"

Hoshito: "I don't want to talk about it."

???: "Hehe, it's too much for you, right? Well, this is what you get when you push your wounded body."

Hoshito: "But my body wasn't wounded after turning into Shinigami."

???: "Wrong, your body wasn't fully healed, it only healed some, so you can stand up and fight Hollows for a few minutes. And you pushed it to the limit… Anyway, can you tell me what your dream was again? Last time I couldn't hear it."

Hoshito: "Oh, that? Well, my dream is to become a hero just like in games and anime since I looked up to them."

When I said that I saw a silhouette, my eyes couldn't grasp the image, but I noticed a soft smile on their face. Then my eyes opened, and I saw Yui sleeping on my bed.

I looked around and found that I'm in my room.

Hoshito: 'Did I dream the same dream again? And when did my body turn back?'

As if the world answered my question, Ichigo and Orihime entered my room to check on Yui.

Ichigo: "Ah! You finally wake up…!" he said with a grumpy face and low voice, so he doesn't wake Yui up.

Orihime: "Kurosaki-Kun shhhh…" she said, putting a finger on her mouth.

Ichigo's expression became awkward, and he rubbed the back of his head. I chuckled at this and patted Yui's head.

Hoshito: "Thank god, she is alright…"

Yui slowly opened her eyes, and it seemed like she had had a sweet dream. Her eyes went from around the room to me. It widened up, and she hugged me tightly.

Yui: "Hoshito!! Thanks god you are not dead!! Don't do that again! don't be reckless, brother!"

I softly smiled when I heard that and hugged her back. No words came to my mouth for a moment. Just then, I noticed Ichigo smirking and Orihime genuinely smiling happy to us, and I felt embarrassed.

Hoshito: "The hell are you guys looking at?!"

Ichigo: "Nothing."

I glared at him, but Yui slapped me on the back of my head.

Yui: "Brother, you shouldn't talk like that to the people who saved you!"

Hoshito: "Saved me?"

Yui: "Yes, they're from those strange fireworks that came from the streets."

Hoshito: "Fireworks???"

Ichigo: "Yui, I think we should explain to him. Why don't you make some tea for Kasami?"

Yui: "Okay. And you, Aniki, don't start a fight with them, do you understand?"

I nodded awkwardly as I couldn't understand a thing yet. Yui then left the room, leaving us alone.

Hoshito: "So… What's happening right now??"

Ichigo: "What's happening right now is Urahara uses one of the items Shinigami use to change memories of your sister and took the blame for destroying your backyard."

Hoshito: "Wait, Urahara did that?! Does that mean he is here?!"

Ichigo: "Yes, he is here with Tessai. He said he was walking around and got lost because of the fog, then came when he sensed your spiritual pressure."

I looked annoyed when Ichigo explained it, and made it worse, he told me I was unconscious for half a day.

Hoshito: 'Great, now the other least person I want to meet is here… is there a way things get worse?'

And to my luck, things went worse when Ishida entered the room.

Ishida: "May I have a moment with Yuru-San?" he said with a serious look on his face.

Hoshito: "I don't know, maybe you can wait for me to get rested enough?" I said with a grumpy face.

Ishida: "I wanted to ask you about the one who helped you since I sensed someone else was with you when I looked into your backyard."

Hoshito: "If you want to know who he is, then sorry, I couldn't ask for his name."

Ishida: "That's not important, I just wanted to know if he used a bow that looked like this." He said while showing me his Quincy bow.

Hoshito: "Yes… he used one just like that one."

Ishida's expression turned more serious and intense. 

Ishida: "I see… then it confirms the one who helped you is Quincy."

Ichigo's eyes are widened at this confirmation; the fact that there is another Quincy other than Ishida made things complicated.

Ichigo: "Ishida, things get complicated here…"

Ishida: "You are right, things get complicated, and I need to find that Quincy before a Hollow comes to him."

Hoshito: 'Dude, the excitement in you showing through your eyes…'

Ichigo and Ishida began talking about the Quincy and how to find and approach him. I got irritated since this is my room, and kicked them both out of my room. Then I noticed Orihime, who was in deep thought and was quiet for some time.

Hoshito: "Umm… Orihime-San? What are you thinking?"

Orihime: "Ah, Hoshito-Kun… sorry, I was lost in thought about what kind of bread you would like to eat so you can recover faster."

Hoshito: 'Wow… Was she thinking about that…? I really can't understand her quite right…'

V came out from the shadow after checking no one was around. His expressionless face stares around him to see where he is.

V: 'It seems I didn't move far from Hoshito's house.'

 V didn't care if he was far or not; he only cared about no one seeing him. He began moving aimlessly, didn't know where this world was heading him.

Then he pumped into a girl who was carrying groceries from the store. V glanced at her; she had long black hair, and her eyes were brown.

V: 'Huh… is the black hair and brown eyes a common color here?'

He ignored the girl and continued moving, and that made the girl angry shouted at him.

Girl: "Hey!! Shouldn't you at least apologize when you pump into someone?! Hey, I'm talking to you!"

V: 'What noise, girl. Are all humans like this? What a pain.'

The girl is trying to get his attention, but V keeps ignoring her. Then, V crossed the road without looking. A car came fast and was about to hit him. Luckily, the girl pulled him before he got hit. That moment made V surprise when she touched him; he sensed high pressure from her.

Girl: "Hey, you should look around before you cross the road, you deaf fool." She said in a loud voice.

V: "Hey, what's your name?"

Tatsuki: "Huh? It's Tatsuki Arisawa, why are you asking?" she said with a puzzled expression.
