Tea has been served along with rice cakes. Awkward small talk continues between the Captain and your mother. The little girl, meekly sitting next to you, goes through her rice cakes rather quickly, without having touched her drink.

"They go down easier with tea." You offer some advice, pushing your share of the snacks closer to her. She takes a moment to carefully examine you and the rice cakes you're offering, and after a nod, Miyu nibbles on a cracker and then takes a sip of her tea. The pale haired girl continues the pattern until she runs out of snacks again. She seems to have enjoyed eating like that more... or so you think.

The easy topics for small talk seem to have run out by now. Urahara Kisuke decides to get to the point, addressing your mother by your family name. "Tsukuda-san, I would like to speak with you in private before I get into the thick of the matter. Would that be okay? It's about Ryouta-kun, you see..."

"...Very well." Shiori agrees after a slight pause. She glances your way and you nod, take Miyu by hand and step out of the room.

Even though you're going to be the subject of their discussion, you weren't allowed to stay. You can't help but wonder about that. But perhaps the Captain has reasons for that?

The little girl continues her quiet stare, waiting for you to do something.

>>46094609
I think it MIGHT be as simple as Urahara not wanting Miyu left alone, but on the whole I think this whole situation is a great way for Ryouta to continue experimenting with feeling irritation and anxiety which he's dabbled in before (with Moeka and finding his doppelganger).
Like on the irritation side, if Urahara has found our sister, then doesn't that mean he's already figured out what we are? Logically it seems like there were a lot of steps he could have included us in-between when we last spoke with him and now. And now he's in our house talking to our mother when we're babysitting someone we've never met before?

And on the anxiety side: Looking at Miyu, is this what other people see when they look at us? Someone so blank? How are other people able to manage it? And just what is Urahara talking about, is he telling mom about our clone? Is she going to reject us once she realizes we're a counterfeit entity? Would this have been better if we opened up about our copy earlier?

You show the little girl around your house, explain to her where's what. By the time you've shown Miyu every room in the house, the Captain and Shiori still haven't finished their discussion. You lead Miyu to your room. Your bookshelves aren't quite as tightly packed as your mother's, but you still read plenty. After a small inspection, you take out something that should be easy and suitable for a child to read and pass it to the girl. Holding the book in her hands, Miyu looks at it in slight confusion.

"Have you ever read a book before, Miyu?"

The girl shakes her head.

"Can you read?"

The girl nods. She decides to open the book and look over the contents. Because this is Soul Society, the appearance of a person is an unreliable way to judge their appearance; despite that, Miyu feels like a child, and it's hard to imagine her as anything else.

"How old are you?"

Her manner of speaking is just as lacking as her expression. Speaking in flat monotone, the girl makes an awkward, strained emphasis at the end of her sentence, as if to clearly announce its end, in case that wasn't obvious. "I do not KNOW..."

A few minutes pass. She's still at the first page.

"Can you understand it?" You ask her. Her reading seems to be going awfully slowly. Or are you being impatient with her? You and Shiori can easily finish a book in a day. You don't feel irritated at her, but it still feels unusual.

(1/2)

>>46096279
The little girl shakes her head. "I do not know how to read this WORD..."

You lean in a bit closer and explain it to her.

After a few pages, Miyu speaks up about unfamiliar words of her own initiative. Even so, she looks a bit lost. Perhaps you've picked something too complex for her, after all...

"For how long would you like me to continue READING...?" She asks.

"You don't have to do it if you don't want to, Miyu." You tell her. Miyu shakes her head.

"It's not that I don't want to..."

...But she doesn't 'want' to, either. The girl trails off, unable to properly finish her thought, as evident by the lack of that jarring emphasis of hers.

Asking her questions that relate to her preferences or answering her questions in vague ways that leave it up to her is going to lead nowhere.

"Let's continue until they've finished talking." You decide for her. She doesn't seem to have any preferences at all, so it's not like you're being pushy: she wouldn't mind either way. With a firm nod, Miyu directs her golden eyes back at the contents of the book.

A few more minutes pass. There are more unfamiliar words here and there, and leaning around is proving to be rather uncomfortable on your arms and sides. After a brief search for a better sitting pose, you settle on having the small Miyu sit on your lap. You can explain the complicated words without having to pull the book away from the girl, making her reading that much faster.

(2/3)

>>46096332
The door to your room slides to the side. Your mother once again finds herself surprised. Her small mouth helplessly melts into a doting smile.

"My, my... sitting together like that you really do look like a pair of siblings. That's... so adorable...!" Catching herself slipping away into some kind of cuteness overload mode, Shiori clears her throat. "...But, well, we're finished. Urahara-san wants everyone present for what he's about to say."

The four of you gather back in the living room. After everyone settles down, the Captain wastes no time.

"I wish to ask the Tsukuda family to adopt Miyu." Urahara declares, bowing his head. It doesn't seem to come as a surprise to your mother. They've probably discussed this already.

"...What do you think, Ryouta?" Shiori asks you. That's rather surprising. Why you?

"I think this choice should be up to you, mother. You'll have to take care of Miyu on your own whenever I'm on duty, after all."

"I understand that. But Miyu is... she really is like your sibling. You may not look alike at all, and yet you feel similar. You understand what I mean, don't you? That's why I want you to make this choice. I feel like this has more to do with you than it does with me." She explains. Perhaps she's right.

This girl is like your mirror. But do you need to see your reflection on a near daily basis? No, you have no hope of answering that right now. There is only one way to figure out the answer to that question, so perhaps you should be looking at this matter from another angle.

This isn't only about you or Shiori... it's about Miyu as well. Little has changed for you under Shiori's care. Is this really the best choice for the little girl? What if she ends up just like you? Neither you nor your mother know how to prevent such a thing from happening. Perhaps this girl is better off with someone else... and if you do think so, then it's best that you refuse Urahara's request and let him take care of the rest.

(3/4)

>>46096451
Of course, the Captain is still leaving some things unsaid. Not only that, but he doesn't show any signs of being willing to share them. Perhaps he has his reasons, but should he be allowed to keep those reasons to himself after asking you for something like this?..

Damnit I was attempting a big complex write-in and trying to make it in-character.

How about this, can we please ask Urahara and our mother their honest opinion if they think we can help her? Like that's the variable that's missing when Ryouta reflects upon his past, someone similar to him who might be able to reach an understanding through relfection? Or maybe ask to talk to Shiori while Urahara and Miyu wait outside because I don't really feel like sharing vulnerabilities with him.

>>46096993
>Damnit I was attempting a big complex write-in and trying to make it in-character.
You can still go for things like these even after the voting is over, as long as it's not too long after! If it gains a ton of support or I really like it, I might implement it anyway!

>>46096993
>>46096451
Like, she's right that we feel similar, but doesn't that mean that despite decades of living with Shiori, we've barely changed at all? And if we CAN'T change, I can't really imagine a better environment, to suit us, and we have made some subtle progress, but if Arata is any indication then we could have changed faster in a more challenging environment (sure he was kind of a layabout, but there's little reason to think he couldn't have been less of a loser in a healthier situation). Is it okay for her to grow up to be like us? Is it okay for -us- to be like us?

>>46097079
The thing I was struggling about with this is a way of phrasing it that isn't (unintentionally) really cruel to Shiori. Like the closest we came to feeling happiness seems to be when we saw how grateful she was when we bought her that house, and despite feeling like we haven't changed at all, we nonetheless became a shinigami who seems to have a decent value for human life. Also it's possible that Arata felt as empty as us and was just acting out in a way to get attention.

>>46097079
>>46097172
Also the missing variable would be us interacting with Miyu regularly. Like we didn't have anyone like us around when we were growing up, so it's entirely possible that we might help her move along faster by understanding what she's going through, and she might help us through her responses and just by being someone we can relate to. But I don't know if Ryouta believes in himself enough to think that.

I'm not sure if Ryouta is capable of saying any of this.

>>46097278
You've really given us a big handicap here, Mushroom. And here I thought playing as someone with near suicidal guilt and depression was challenging enough.

You nod. "We'll take her in..."

Urahara Kisuke sighs in relief, lifting up his head. "Thank you, Ryouta-kun, Tsukuda-san! You've saved me there..."

You haven't finished. "...However, may I ask why you chose to entrust Miyu to us?"

"Well... Miyu has no family, no home of her own, and no relations with anyone in Soul Society. I myself am too busy to take care of her, and I couldn't place this kind of responsibility on my subordinates. But honestly, there is another reason why I'd rather not entrust her to anyone other than you. Miyu is special, I'm sure you've noticed. She really does resemble you, Ryouta-kun. So I thought that, well, who could be a better family for her than you? Nobody else - including me - knows what this kind of responsibility entails."

"So our 'experience' is your reason, Urahara-san?" Shiori rephrases his words. She glances away, her head stooping a bit.

'Experience' in dealing with people like you; perhaps that kind of reasoning isn't too farfetched. Well, there is one contradiction in his logic that you can't bring yourself to mention - yourself. You are still like Miyu. A bit more knowledgeable about the condition than her, but still the same. If it hasn't worked once, does he think that it'll work on the second try?

Perhaps that reason is simply a lie, and his true motives lie elsewhere. That kind of thinking doesn't befit a scientist like Urahara Kisuke, after all. Or does it? How could you know for sure?

...Either way, there's more to it than that. For example, where did Miyu come from? That's probably the main question. No, there's actually something else that's also important. You look at the pale haired girl.

"What do you think about all of this, Miyu?"

The girl spends a little time in thoughtful silence. You think she's trying to come up with an answer that doesn't revolve around the indifference she must be currently experiencing.

(1/2)

>>46099043
"Urahara-san had told me why we were coming HERE. I had no qualms with this before, and I still do not have them now; if Urahara-san thinks that this is the best choice for me, then I also believe that I would be better off this WAY..."

She still couldn't avoid basing her views on raw logic alone: this suggestion was made by a person who knows a lot, so if he thinks that this is the right choice, then this must be the right choice.

But the best you could probably do for her right now is respect her opinion, however little 'Miyu' there may be in it. You nod.

"It seems that we came to an agreement. I'm really glad. I apologize, but I must go. The position of a Captain is surprisingly busy, you see... If you'd really like to talk about it more, Ryouta-kun, feel free to find me." He says something like that, stands up, bows, and heads for the door. His exit is rather brisk, almost rudely so.

With Urahara Kisuke gone, Shiori visibly relaxes. There's one thing you forgot to do.

"I haven't asked you your opinion on this, mother."

"I don't know what Urahara Kisuke's motives are, Ryouta. The only one who can figure that out would be you. But to tell you the truth, I don't want to know. What matters to me is our happiness as a family, and I think this is the right way to go about it. To be blunt, I'm glad you've agreed to this. I hope that we can make Miyu-chan happy, and that Miyu-chan can make us happy in return. No, I'm sure that we can do it." With that, your mother stands up. She takes Miyu's hand, smiling kindly. "Come, I'll show you your room, Miyu-chan. Do you like the name 'Tsukuda Miyu'? I think it sounds cute..."

The two of them head out of the room.

After that incident, some time passes.

It's tricky, I feel like Urahara's never gonna tell us everything, but he might tell us -something-? Or at least tell us why he won't trust us to tell us anything.

But with Miyu, it would be neat to see if we can help each other at all and if our mother was right.

>>46099148
Miyu - Tsukuda Miyu - isn't experiencing any discomfort in the new environment she now calls her home. You think that the lack of particularly strong impressions should be considered a good sign in this girl's case. She's not too cold or too hot, the food is to her liking, suitable clothes have been found for her. While the house can't provide much in terms of entertainment, she seems to make do with books.

Miyu frequently asks you about the contents of the books.

"I don't understand this story, ONII-CHAN..."

"What don't you understand, Miyu?"

"Why does the hero do the things he DOES?"

"Isn't it explained in the book? He does it because he loves the princess."

"Why does he love HER?"

"Isn't that also explained in the book? I think he fell for her because she was beautiful. Of course, that feeling had grown into something more over the course of the story, but that's where it started."

"Does that mean that you and mother aren't beautiful, ONII-CHAN? Is that why I didn't fall in love with either of YOU...?"

"It's not something that can be explained so easily with logic alone, Miyu."

"I see. Then I will speak with mother later... thank YOU..."

If she ever doesn't understand something, she asks you first and mother later. For example, you already went over the definition of 'love' with her, inconclusively so. Most of the time her questions end up redirected to Shiori anyway, as you simply can't provide her with a good enough answer. Even so, you seem to be the person she trusts more. It's not a trust built on something sibling bonds, not like that. It's just that the two of you are the same, and Miyu seems to have noticed that. Your little sister doesn't seem to feel entirely comfortable about speaking her fully logical mind in front of Shiori, even though she has never scolded her for doing so.

(1/3)

>>46101272
Does Miyu understand her issues already? It took you decades to even recognize the fact that you had a problem.

Miyu will probably stop being so jarring in her speech once she grasps the standards of society. However, something like that would only be treating the symptoms, not the cause. It would conceal the problem, but it wouldn't solve it.

"Understanding beauty would be better done through art, I think. Unfortunately, I don't think mother is knowledgeable on that end. Neither am I..."

"Thank you ANYWAY."

She's grown quite skilled in the use of 'thank you'. Shiori taught her that it's the effort placed in the assistance that really counts, even if it didn't solve the problem. Miyu really is like a child. Although her face never shows any emotion, she seems impressionable. She believes everything she's told. Her problems are small and trivial, caused mainly by her incomprehension of the world instead of more direct conflicts. A person that's pure from top to bottom.

Another thing to note is that she has a healthy appetite. She clearly possesses spiritual powers. Not only that, but she hides them well: you can't get a proper read on her. It's suspicious, but you think that Miyu might not have anything to do with that. She might be up to something on Urahara's behalf, perhaps even unknowingly.

Time continues to pass. You're given the occasional job here and then, but it's nothing big. False trails, various research projects, unremarkable encounters with people...

In the Human World, it's the start of a new millennium. And with the start of the new year comes a new mission.

(2/3)

>>46101340
"There's a disturbance in Hong Kong, China." Urahara Kisuke begins, staring at the large central display in the Monitor Room. You've always wondered why he emphasizes the names of these Human World cities and countries so much, as if it matters. The area numbers are a more practical designation usually utilized by agents of the Seireitei. He sounds just a bit longing, as if he wants to pay the place a visit himself. Not as an agent, of course. As a tourist.

"Unknown and random spikes of Reiatsu have been causing swarms of Hollows to gather around the city. A team consisting of Shinigami from the First Division has been assigned to the region to resolve this case, but they aren't doing well, Ryouta-kun, so they're asking us for help. Well, you know what your true mission is, but I'm still sending you under the pretense of providing assistance so that the local Shinigami will be more cooperative towards you." A few dots blink now and again on the gridded monitor, showing new arrivals of Hollows and movements of the Shinigami.

"This seems like a dangerous mission, doesn't it? It certainly is. This will be your most dangerous mission yet. I was thinking about sending Hiyori - that is, the Lieutenant - instead, but she... isn't feeling well." Urahara says. He obviously isn't telling you the whole story again, but this doesn't really concern you. He suddenly goes off on a bit of a tandem, his tone having grown more casual, more joking. "...Have you ever noticed something, Ryouta-kun? It's hard to measure a Hollow's potential. Well, not only is it nearly impossible, but there is no point. Hollows do not have 'potential'. It's a plain old 'zero'. Hollows do not have a meaningful limit to their growth, either. They grow and evolve for as long as they survive. That's why they don't have potential that can be quantified."

...So what is he trying to say with that? He suddenly clears his throat and gets back on track.

>>46101384
"Utilize the assistance of the deployed Shinigami to the full possible extent. Remain hidden as much as you can. If you find proof that the source of the anomaly is not the Hogyoku, withdraw immediately. Do you have any questions?"

"Now may not be the best time, but..." You begin. Urahara doesn't stop you, so you continue. "About Miyu and I..."

"Ryouta-kun, now really isn't the best time. That topic might take a while. Let's talk about it after the mission."

He might be avoiding the question right now, but he isn't outright refusing to answer. "Is that fine?"

"Of course it is. I'll answer whatever questions you might have when you return. Back then wasn't a good time, so I bailed before things turned awkward. But, well... I've been warned that you might not enjoy the answers. I can't disregard that notion entirely. Please think it over for a while and make sure that you really do want the answers, alright?"

"I'm... not sure what you mean, Captain."

"If you're already happy as you are now, then maybe that subject is best left untouched. It's not in my interests to scare you away from the truth, but you should think about it anyway, Ryouta-kun."

You nod. Urahara Kisuke suddenly remembers something.

"Ah, and one more thing... Have you been getting along with Miyu-chan?" He asks. Your 'yes' isn't as certain as you would like it to be, but it's as good as it can get right now. "Miyu-chan will become a great Shinigami in the future. I was hoping to make you two partners. That will make your future missions much safer and easier."

"Are you sure that's necessary?" You find yourself immediately questioning it. It wasn't a calculated action. Reflexive, impulsive; something that probably shouldn't have been done.

"It is necessary." He rebukes. "You see, Miyu-chan's spiritual powers, even now, are rather overwhelming. I've suppressed them for convenience, but that won't last for long. She'll need to learn how to control those powers. And there's only one way, Ryouta-kun."

"I have ample evidence that I'm not a real soul by now, and his inner world is literally an empty void, and I'm pretty sure that, despite Arata's failings, Shiori would have been a lot better off with him as her son instead of me. So 'happy as I am now' is not the term I would use to define myself."

Well no, but unless Urahara didn't really tell her anything at all, I can't see how she wouldn't

What'd you think of Urahara's explanation of being prepared for -everything- in the most recent chapter? Does that jibe with how you've been writing him?

That conversation took a bit of a turn that Urahara wasn't anticipating.

>>46103566
Huh, I guess we should have asked her what she spoke with him about, since she probably won't remember now about a talk that took place ten years ago.

>>46103562
I don't know if I can do that justice, but Urahara is pretty prepared here! Don't underestimate him!

>>46103629
It hasn't been nearly that long! It's been a couple of years since their talk at the most.

>>46103654
>Don't underestimate him!
Believe me, we're not. In fact, I'm pretty sure that it is literally impossible to OVERestimate Urahara.

So are you gonna have the Quincy be completely defunct in this quest, or in the next decade or so, will the Soul Society receive a grim reminder?

Or ~spoilers~

Ah, well, I can't say that I've enjoyed the Quincy arc all that much, so I most likely won't be writing about the big invasion. The idea of non-archery Quincy powers is something I've already used in both of the quests, but I'm not going to be straying too far from what I've laid out so far on that end.

I liked the first arcs the most, so I'm basing everything I do on those. I'm sorry if you're a fan of the Quincy arc, but I just can't help it if I'm not feeling it!
