"Damn, I have to say this guy is a bit of a coward, but the identity he chose isn't bad at all!"
"With two little sisters like that, living comfortably for two and a half years would be pretty nice. After all, it's a place where you die for real if you die. Everyone for themselves, and the heavens destroy those who don't look out for themselves."
"Some people are still backtracking and saying 'everyone for themselves', while I've already started calling him 'brother-in-law'."
"Hehehe, Yuzu, Karin (heart eyes, drooling emoji)! My Yuzu, Karin (heart eyes, drooling emoji)!"
"The one upstairs is even more of a heavyweight!"
"Damn it, why does someone like him get to have two little sisters like that?"
Regarding Ichigo's identity, people online were envious and jealous, wishing they could take his place.
This envy reached its peak when Ichigo went out, changed the flowers for the little girl spirit who kept calling him 'big brother', then went to school where a few good friends gathered around him, including high-quality girls like Arisawa Tatsuki and Orihime, and the other female classmates weren't bad looking either.
Soon after, Honsho Chizuru arrived. She was a petite girl with red glasses and red hair, but very open and quite proud, a Yuri.
Seeing Orihime, Chizuru immediately hugged her, rubbing her face against Orihime's weapon: "Ah, replenished my Orihime energy! A beautiful day starts from here!"
Seeing Chizuru taking advantage of her good friend again, Tatsuki was furious: "Chizuru! Let go!"
Tatsuki threw punches at Chizuru.
However, even though she was beaten black and blue, Chizuru absolutely refused to let go of Orihime.
Ichigo, watching from the side, even felt like she was somewhat enjoying Tatsuki's punches.
"Such youth!" Ichigo sighed.
The people still lingering in Ichigo's stream sighed in unison with him.
"Such a wonderful school life!"
"Damn, if I could quit my job and go back to the past to relive my school days, I wouldn't want to fight for my life either."
"So, did we all think he was cowardly, but actually he's playing 4D chess by lying flat? Like that guy who went into seclusion in Hegang?"
"Although I don't want to admit it, it seems like it..."
"Envy!"
"Envy +1"
"Envy +9999!"
In the player livestream from the Shin'o Academy, netizens followed along to school.
In the player livestream from the 12th Division, netizens followed along with research.
In the livestream of the player who was a minor Hollow in Hueco Mundo, countless survival experts appeared.
But completely different from the striving vibe of these, and indeed all other livestreams, after being labeled a coward, Ichigo was reinterpreted as a recluse, attracting a large group of fans who yearned for the 'lying flat' lifestyle. (T/N: Lying flat can also means idler or lazy people.)
Everyone wanted to live Ichigo's life: having money spent on him, living carefree every day, and even having a youthful romance.
However, no one could have anticipated.
They thought Ichigo was lying flat, but in reality, he was a hustler more driven than anyone!
After an ordinary day passed, Ichigo returned home from school.
He went back to his room early, said goodnight to Karin and Yuzu, got into bed, and lay down with his eyes closed.
Because on his way back today, he had already encountered the Hollow that attacked the little girl's spirit and saw Rukia rescue her.
Just as the comments were debating whether Ichigo was scared by the encounter on the way home today, fiercely arguing about the conflict between reality and ideals, whether one should pursue ideals recklessly or face reality, a Hell Butterfly drifted by!
The next moment, Rukia stepped lightly in through the window, landing on Ichigo's desk.
Sitting up, looking at Rukia who walked straight through the window without needing to duck, Ichigo instinctively complained: "So short!"
It has to be said, Rukia, standing at only 144 cm, is just too petite.
'No matter what, she's still from one of the Four Great Noble Houses, the Kuchiki Clan! Look how they've starved the child!'
Rukia frowned, feeling like someone was saying something bad about her.
But at this moment, Rukia, fully focused on sensing where the Hollow was, hadn't yet realized something was wrong.
A mischievous smile crept onto Ichigo's lips.
He took two steps forward, reached out, grabbed the back collar of Rukia's Shihakusho, and with a single-handed effort, lifted the petite Rukia completely off the ground.
"Hey, I said, what are you doing sneaking into my house in the middle of the night?" Ichigo demanded.
Click.
The room light turned on. The bright light source allowed Ichigo to fully appreciate Rukia's bewildered expression.
She was so shocked that she even forgot Ichigo was holding her up.
"You can see me?" Rukia asked incredulously.
"Ah, of course. What kind of nonsense are you talking? You're right here. And we just saw each other on the street."
Ichigo put Rukia down, took two steps back, sat on the bed, and crossed his arms. "Explain, what are you?"
Rukia's expression turned serious, and she said slowly: "I am… a Shinigami!"
Using a comically drawn picture, Rukia began her explanation.
