Clearly, that was a look of self-awareness.

"I was introduced by Ms. Shino Aki."

Shirou Hashiba nodded slightly and asked with a smile:

Tell me, what's bothering you?

"Um... I don't have any worries."

"Are you embarrassed to say it? Well, people who would confide in strangers are ultimately a minority."

Shiro Hashiba was not surprised by this.

"Ms. Inoue Orihime, if it's troubles related to love, I regret to inform you that hope has become extremely slim."

"If it's a problem with family relationships, I can offer you help, but you probably don't want to know the answer."

"If it's a financial problem, I can introduce you to a good part-time job, but I think you probably don't have many problems in that area."

"Amazing!" Orihime Inoshita stared blankly at Shirou Hashiba, muttering to herself, "She got it all right."

For young girls, romance is indeed important, but it's not everything.

I do have these kinds of worries, but I can worry about them on my own; there's no need to discuss them with others.

As for the other two troubles, there's really no one to discuss them with.

"Huh...? I don't think I introduced myself to you yet?"

"Don't underestimate the Yorozuya boss! For someone in my line of work, intelligence gathering is of course of paramount importance."

"Wow, that's amazing! So... what do you think is the thing that bothers me the most?"

"Let me think about it..."

On the first day of business, this is a question that concerns the reputation of Yorozuya, so you absolutely cannot answer it wrong.

Recalling Aizen's memories, the manga "Bleach" in this world has many subtle differences from other worlds, especially the story before Kurosaki Ichigo went to Soul Society to save Rukia.

First, due to the activities of the Fifth Division Shinigami, Orihime Inoue's brother was quickly sent to Soul Society after his death and did not stay in the human world for long.

As a result, she was unable to say goodbye to her brother with Ichigo Kurosaki's help, and this regret must have remained in her heart forever.

In addition, after her brother's death, she is now able to live independently thanks to financial support from relatives.

In this situation, money might be a concern, but it's certainly not the most urgent issue.

When you're alone in an empty room, feeling utterly alone, what's the first thing that comes to mind when the night is quiet?

Is it the object of her secret love, or her deceased brother?

Romantic relationship or family relationship, must you choose one?

To be honest, whether it's a 50/50 or 40/60 split, there's always some risk involved.

Today is the first day of business, and if I answer this wrong, it will really damage my reputation.

After pondering for a few seconds, Shiro Hashiba decided to use a shortcut.

"It's probably...loneliness."

“Every day when I get home, my subconscious thought is to say ‘I’m home,’ but then I realize that there’s no way anyone will answer, so I can only sigh and silently go inside.”

"During holidays, I always unconsciously miss mealtimes, and when I come to my senses, I realize that the person who used to remind me to eat is no longer there."

"Lying in bed at night, after turning off the lights, I find it hard to fall asleep for a long time. Occasionally, I hear noises coming from outside the room, which scare me half to death, but in the end, it is usually just a false alarm."

Orihime Inoue stared blankly at Shirou Hashiba, and then said again:

"Wow, that's amazing! You're absolutely right. Um... how did you know all this?"

"What's so new about this? I used to live this way when I was single."

Shirou Hashiba paused for a moment, then smiled and said:

"Later, I realized that many people who live alone are like this."

"Before? Aren't you alone now?" Orihime Inoshita asked instinctively.

"That's right, I'm not alone anymore."

Shirou Hashiba smiled slightly and pushed the price list over.

"So, is there anything you need Yorozuya's help with? Anything is fine. Since today is the first day of business, I can help you for free."

"Thank you for your kindness! However, since you know me, you should also know that no one can help me with my troubles."

"Oh...? That's hard to say."

If it were a problem with her love life, she certainly wouldn't have spoken so definitively.

Therefore, her current troubles should be related to family relationships.

Having made his judgment, Shirou Hashiba immediately spoke with great confidence;

"When you were young, your brother took you away from home because your parents had violent tendencies, and the difficult journey of the siblings to survive began."

Five years ago, your brother passed away unexpectedly, and both of your parents have since remarried.

"I imagine you don't want to know where your parents are right now. Of course, if you need, I can take you to see them from afar."

"As for your brother, I can give you a chance to meet him."

Orihime Inoue looked surprised and said in a slightly angry tone:

Please don't make jokes like that!

Although she was curious about her parents' current situation, as the Yorozuya owner said, she didn't want to bother them.

As for my brother, he's been gone for so long, how could I possibly see him again?

"Don't believe me? Wait a moment."

Shirou Hashiba appeared instantly at the Yorozuya door and closed it.

"Huh...?"

Orihime Inoue's gaze darted back and forth between the counter and the door, her face full of surprise and doubt.

"Instant teleportation?"

"rise!"

Shirou Hashiba slightly raised his right hand, and Orihime Inoue, along with the chair beneath her, floated up at the same time.

"Oh...! You...you made this?"

"Yes."

Shirou Hashiba nodded slightly, explaining as he controlled her to move back and forth in the air:

"Just like that, there are actually many supernatural forces in this world that are difficult for science to explain."

"The afterlife also exists."

"When I said I'd give you a chance to meet your brother, I wasn't joking; it meant exactly what I said."

Finally, Shirou Hashiba put her down and reopened the door.

"Is...this really okay?"

Inoue Orihime muttered to herself, and quickly observed from Hashiba Shirou's eyes that he was indeed serious.

After much hesitation, I bowed my head and pleaded:

"Thank you for your help! I will pay as usual."

"No need, like I just said, it's free on the first day of opening!"

Shirou Hashiba paused, then chuckled and said:

"Moreover, if you really had to pay, given your financial situation, it would be quite a stretch."

Inoue Orihime couldn't help but glance at the price list, silently counting the zeros at the end, and immediately decided to go with her heart.

"With such high prices, will customers actually come?"

"The form I showed you was a special one. A normally operating Yorozuya (a general store specializing in odd jobs) wouldn't offer services like taking people to see dead bodies, would it?"

"I'm sorry for causing you trouble." Inoue Orihime quickly bowed her head and apologized. "Thank you."

"No need to be so polite, as I already said, it's free on the first day of opening!"

"Even on the first day, your willingness to provide a special form is a great favor to me. Thank you so much!"

"Even if it's not you, but other customers with the same needs, I generally won't refuse. Because that's what Yorozuya is all about."

Chapter 512 How Did You Die?

Chapter 512 How Did You Die? (Section 513)

Upon receiving Shirou Hashiba's notification, Aizen quickly arrived, looked Inoue Orihime up and down, and instantly understood the whole story.

"I see."

"Then, I'll have to trouble you."

Where are you talking about?

"They only said they could take her to see her brother, and didn't mention anything else."

"Am I supposed to explain this?"

"If you find it troublesome, you can have your clone take her there."

"How is this any different from my past? Forget it, I'll take her with me."

Orihime Inoue looked at the two men, puzzled. What were they talking about? A riddle?

Not only the visitor, but also the owner of the Yorozuya, they seemed to know everything about each other even though they had never asked each other about the background.

Aizen and Shirou Hashiba lightly bumped fists, then nodded slightly, their gazes shifting to Orihime Inoue.

"Then, I'll take you there."

"Ah...? Oh... then I'll trouble you." Inoue Orihime quickly bowed her head and thanked her.
