Death's Hidden Mobile

Xia Yan was overjoyed. Being considered a couple with the woman he loved was a wonderful feeling.

But the next moment, he felt a tremendous killing intent. He turned his head and found Captain Soi Fon staring at him, saying, "Are you happy?"

Xia Yan quickly said, "Captain Soi Fon, I'm sorry, I didn't know it would turn out like this."

At this point, Xia Yan paused, then added, "However, I am truly happy to be able to tour with Captain Soi Fon, rather than just train. I am really very happy."

A happy smile appeared on Xia Yan's face, and Soi Fon felt a slight warmth in her heart for some reason when she saw this smile.

"Hmph, I'm not happy. Let's go see if there's anything fun to do."

Soi Fon took a step forward, and Natsuhiko, seeing that she wasn't angry, quickly followed.

"Captain, this, this."

Xia Yan called out to Soi Fon as they arrived at a small stall, saying, "Boss, I want a box of takoyaki."

"A box of takoyaki, okay, I'll make it for you right away."

The shop owner skillfully began making it. Soi Fon, standing next to Natsuhiko, sniffed the air and asked, "What is this?"

The shop owner smiled and said, "This is a local snack that I learned to make while I was on duty in the real world. It's made by takoyaki powder and boiled eggs to make octopus pieces, which are then fried in oil. After they're cooked, vegetables are added, and it's flipped over and baked again. Once it's done, sweet sauce is added. See, that's it."

After the shop owner baked the takoyaki, he placed six takoyaki in a box, put two skewers aside, handed them to the two of them, and said with a smile, "Cheng Hui."

Xia Yan handed the money to the shopkeeper and a skewer to Soi Fon, saying, "Captain, you go first."

Soi Fon picked up a skewer, stuck it into a takoyaki ball, lifted it to her mouth, and took a small bite.

"Well."

Soi Fon stared wide-eyed at Natsuhiko, her eyes filled with disbelief.

"Isn't it delicious?" Xia Yan asked, looking at Soi Fon.

Soi Fon nodded and said, "It's delicious."

As she spoke, Soi Fon stuffed a whole takoyaki into her mouth, chewed it up, swallowed it, and showed a satisfied expression.

Xia Yan immediately handed the box to Soi Fon and said, "There's more."

Soi Fon picked up a skewer, looked at Xia Yan, and said, "You should eat one too."

Xia Yan waved his hand and said, "I'll buy more if it's not enough. Captain Soi Fon, eat more if you like it. I'll eat after you finish. I don't really like it that much."

When you like someone, you want to give them everything you have, and seeing their satisfied expression makes you feel happy too.

Of course, in order to get the other person to eat it all, you also have to show an expression that says, "I don't like it, I don't want to eat it."

Hearing this, Soi Fon paused for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "Food is meant to be shared; it tastes better when eaten together. Let's eat quickly."

"Ah."

Xia Yan nodded, picked up a skewer, stuck a takoyaki on it, and swallowed it in one gulp along with Soi Fon.

The two chewed on the takoyaki and found the food in their mouths even more delicious.

Natsuhiko feels joy from eating with someone he likes, while Soi Fon feels joy from having friends to share with.

The first time I wore a yukata, the first time I changed my hairstyle, the first time I shared takoyaki with someone.

Soi Fon is changing more and more, and these changes are closely related to Natsuhiko.

Soi Fon is starting to enjoy spending time with others more and more, slowly emerging from her 'alone' lifestyle.

But even when she was no longer alone, there was always someone by her side.

Chapter Sixty-Seven: Fireworks

Besides takoyaki, the summer festival also features taiyaki, marshmallows, and candied apples. Most of the food here is from the mortal world, and is basically made by the Grim Reapers who go to the mortal world for their turn.

Each of these foods had its own unique characteristics, and Xia Yan and Soi Fon bought a lot, eating and touring at the same time.

Besides food, there are also some fun activities, such as goldfish scooping, ring toss, and bidding.

Xia Yan wanted to show off his skills, but Soi Fon was clearly more skilled. She scooped up a lot of goldfish with a net, and when she threw rings, she won the items. She was guaranteed to win every time she threw a bid.

Every shopkeeper who witnessed this scene looked dejected and sent Soi Fon and Natsuhiko away.

Xia Yan was also disappointed, as he didn't get the chance to give Soi Fon a chance, but instead received many gifts.

As the two were enjoying themselves, Xia Yan felt a weight on his shoulder, and a voice rang out, "Xia Yan, so you were wondering why you weren't with us. Turns out you have a female companion."

Xia Yan turned his head and saw Renji Abarai, Momo Hinamori, and Izuru Kira.

Xia Yan coughed, and Renji Abarai, still not having reacted, said smugly, "Your girlfriend is quite pretty."

Natsuhiko coughed again, and Renji Abarai asked, puzzled, "Natsuhiko, are you coughing? Be careful."

But Momo Hinamori pulled Renji Abarai back and said softly, "That's Captain Soi Fon."

"Captain Soi Fon?"

Renji Abarai looked at Soi Fon with surprise and quickly said, "Captain Soi Fon, I'm so sorry I didn't recognize you."

Soi Fon said coldly, "It's nothing."

Xia Yan quickly changed the subject, asking, "Where's Rukia? Isn't she with you?"

Renji Abarai remained silent, while Momo Hinamori scratched her head and said, "We didn't dare invite her."

Xia Yan frowned, and Kira Izuru quickly said, "Don't worry, she's with Captain Kuchiki."

Xia Yan knew they were still wary of Kuchiki Rukia's identity, so he didn't say anything. He waved his hand and said, "Then you guys go ahead. I still need to keep Captain Soi Fon company."

Forgive me for being a guy who values ​​women more than friends.

Renji and the other two left quickly. Natsuhiko looked at Soi Fon, who was no longer as shy as before, but said frankly, "Let's continue."

Xia Yan walked up to the cotton candy stall, bought two cotton candies, and the two of them held the cotton candies like two children.

The two continued forward. The highlight of the summer festival was on the mountain, the only time the central mountain was open, where fireworks would be lit soon.

"Captain Zaraki, Yachiru Kusajishi, where are you going?" Xia Yan suddenly saw a tall figure walking towards them in the distance, with a girl perched on his shoulder.

"Xiao Yanyan."

Kusajishi Yachiru stretched out her hand and waved. Kenpachi Zaraki saw Natsuhiko and said, "It's you, you brat. Yachiru wants to see fireworks. What's so interesting about fireworks?"

Kusajiro Yachiru immediately said, "The fireworks are beautiful. I heard it's by the number one pyrotechnician in Rukongai. I want to see them."

"This is really troublesome."

Kenpachi Zaraki said this as he walked away into the distance.

But Xia Yan was exasperated. "You guys went to watch the fireworks, why are you walking back the way you came?"

Lost again? But it seems like there's only one road.

Xia Yan was quite helpless. He glanced at Soi Fon and noticed that the corners of her mouth were turned up and she had a smile on her face.

Noticing Xia Yan's gaze, Soi Fon's smile faded, and she said, "Let's go."

Xia Yan and Soi Fon went to the mountaintop together and soon reached the central mountain. They then demarcated and isolated an area at the summit.

Xia Yan and Soi Fon squeezed to the front and waved to those inside, "Kuukaku-nee."

Today, the top pyrotechnician of Rukongai, responsible for setting off the fireworks, is Shiba Kukaku, along with Shiba family retainers Kinhiko and Ginhiko.

Hearing Natsuhiko's shout, Shiba Kukaku walked over and said, "Little Natsuhiko, you're here too. And this is... Captain Soi Fon? What's with your clothes and hairstyle?"

Soi Fon nodded awkwardly and said, "Hello, this was changed for me by Natsuhiko, but I don't like it."

Shiba Kukaku said with a smile, "It suits you very well, and you look very beautiful."

Soi Fon politely said, "Thank you."

Shiba Kukaku pointed into the distance and said, "I'm going back. My brother and sister-in-law are over there. You can go find them."

Xia Yan waved his hand and said, "No need, I don't want to disturb their private life."

Of course not, it's just that we don't want others to disturb our life as a couple.

Shiba Kukaku held up a finger and said, "I've prepared everything you arranged. Just wait."

Xia Yan laughed. After Shiba Kukaku left, he said to Soi Fon, "Captain, let's watch from here."

Soi Fon nodded, and the two stood quietly at the front of the crowd, waiting.

From afar, Shiba Kukaku had already shouted, "The fireworks festival is officially beginning!"

With her voice, Shiba Kukaku raised her right hand, which burst into flames. She then placed her right hand in front of a firework and lit the fuse.

Sizzle.

As the fuse burned, the fireworks exploded with a bang, a streak of fire shot into the sky and burst open, filling the sky with pale red sparks.

Hey, hey, hey.

Yellow, blue, and green flames filled the entire sky, making it even more spectacular when viewed up close.

After the monochrome fireworks came the dandelion fireworks. After exploding, they resembled dandelions, divided into three layers of three colors. The outermost layer was orange-red sparks. As the middle two layers disappeared, the orange-red sparks fell across the sky like shooting stars.

It wasn't too late; the meteor's end turned into a blue light, forming a sky full of stars.

"What a nice view."

When Soi Fon looked up and saw this change, she felt her heart filled with brilliant colors.

Seeing Soi Fon's expression, Xia Yan smiled and said, "There are even more beautiful ones."

As fireworks were released one by one, the crowd cheered, but gradually became awestruck by their beauty.

Boom, boom, boom.

A network of fireworks formed in the air, only to explode in an instant, turning into a sky full of stars.

The stars exploded again, turning into tiny specks of starlight that illuminated the night sky in an instant.

The fireworks display will last for half an hour and will soon come to an end.

Konghe lit several fireworks, and with a series of bangs, more than a dozen pillars of fire shot into the sky.

After these pillars of fire exploded in the sky, they suddenly transformed into a pattern: a bee.
