(Ryoto's pov)
After so waiting, soone finally appeared to take us back. We were currently surrounded by mbers of a Stealth Force. It seems that as soon as they got the notice that sothing strange had occurred, they deployed the unit to ensure Yoruichi's safety. After so questioning and taking the assassin back with them, they left us in the hands of teachers. I'm going to milk the Shihoin clan later. Having the clan owe sothing may co in handy in the future.
After we returned, we were imdiately sent to the Squad 4 barracks to heal up. We also took the three bodies of our classmates. The mood wasn't the greatest as we lost these people today, but that's the life of Shinigami.
In the barracks, we were being treated by the mbers of the squad. I was being treated by a nurse. She just bandaged a bit since all I had were so cuts here and there. Other students have it worse than , and currently, more experienced mbers of squad 4 were focusing on them.
As I was getting my arm wrapped in bandages, the door to the room suddenly opened, and a Captain and lieutenant entered.
Am I in trouble? I don't think I did anything wrong, but it feels like when a teacher is coming to you, and you start going over everything to think about any possible trouble you caused so you can think up an excuse in ti.
Joking aside, I could probably guess why they are here.
Retsu: "Ryoto Yuuki-kun, it seems you can't stay out of trouble."
She said with a gentle smile. Next to our very gentle, kind, and definitely not murderous Captain stood a tall silver-haired woman. The lieutenant of the 4th Division. She is still shorter than , though.
I love being taller since, in my previous life, I was relatively short. I wasn't a dwarf, but I still developed insecurities. Thankfully they didn't transfer to this life, and I can look down on people now. If I wasn't tall, I would probably have a habit of sleeping on the trees and not under them.
My thoughts drifted away a bit too much. Better focus on the Captain in front of .
Ryoto: "That's not true, Captain. I was trying to have a peaceful day with my classmates, and an assassination attempt happened. Thankfully I wasn't on one of my famous walks. Otherwise, the results would be grimr."
I said with empty eyes.
They didn't know how to react to my comnt and decided to ignore it. I think people tend to do it more often as of late. It may be that more experienced people don't want to humor my stupidity.
Retsu: "We ca here to ask so questions because of the unusual circumstances, and since you were in the centrum of this event and are practically unhard, you are the first to be questioned."
Ryoto: "And why are you the one doing that? I would assu that it would be the Stealth Force that would interrogate since the target was Yoruichi and all."
Retsu: "That would certainly be the case if I didn't stop them. mbers of Stealth Force aren't known to be delicate with hospital patients, so after I asked them nicely, they allowed to do it in their stead as they take their ti taking care of the assassin."
She threatened them, didn't she, and she said it without breaking a smile.
Retsu: "So I would like you to explain to what happened."
Ryoto: "Well, in short, the assassin used Hollow bait and gathered a big number of Hollows to our location. We were forced to fight them, but the situation didn't look good for us. The appearance of nos Grande didn't help. Thankfully I managed to drive it off, and after that, we killed all the Hollows. They were all weak, but their numbers were the problem."
Retsu: "You are awfully calm for soone who just escaped death, Yuuki-kun."
Her gaze pierced through , trying to uncover my secrets. That's scary.
Ryoto: "Not the first ti near death, as you probably noticed."
I pointed at my currently visible scars. I was without a shirt, and not everything was covered in bandages, and they could still see so of my old wounds.
Retsu: "An experienced young man, I see. But what was that about nos Grande?"
It seems that I'll get so kind of reaction out of her. Her lieutenant was already making a platter of expressions which I enjoyed greatly.

After answering all of their questions, they let go since I didn't need dical attention. As I was leaving the building, I t Rin, who was waiting for . We walked around in silence. I was looking for a good place for us to relax, and I finally found a great tree that we could sit under.
Ryoto: "You probably have a lot of questions since you saw the world of the living but let explain a few things first. The first thing is that it may not be our world. Sothing similar happened to before, and I was able to co back after so ti. Interestingly no ti passed back ho. This situation reminds of that ti. I had my suspicions before, but I didn't tell you for a few reasons. You have the right to be mad at for making you think that we can't return, so hit if you want to. I won't defend myself."
I was waiting for at least a slap to co to my face, but the only thing Rin did was put her hand on mine.
Rin: "Were you expecting to slap you or sothing? Don't you know by now? I'm sure you had your reasons for doing that. I would want to say to believe in , but we both know that I wasn't in the best of mind. I will work hard so you can put your trust in but for now, just know that I believe in you full heartily. At least now I know that we will be able to return soday, and for now, it's enough for ."
Her words were warm and sothing I wasn't expecting to hear but also sothing I needed to hear at the sa ti. I could also feel her warmth through the hand that I was holding. Being trusted like that by soone other than Lala is strange.
I think Rin deserves to know a little bit about myself that I'm reserving to only my family and doctor. People from the Assassination classroom world are an exception since there I went a little bananas. After living with her for a few months, I think I could count her as family.
Ryoto: "Rin, do you know why I have my eyes always closed?"
Rin: "Huh?"
She was surprised by my question, but I continued speaking without waiting for her answer.
Ryoto: "My eyes look pretty unusual, so I keep them closed most of the ti. Especially now since who knows who is marking in the shadows... planning. However, I think that you deserve to see them."
I turned towards Rin to look her in the eyes, and she did the sa. Then I slowly opened my eyes, revealing my crystal blue eyes.
Rin: "Beautiful."
That was the only word that she said, at which I smiled.
We spent the rest of the evening under the tree as Rin was using my shoulder to take a nap.
I enjoy these quiet monts.
