Chapter 81 Nelliel

"Hehe, Where are you? Dondochakka, Pesche, Bawabawa"

The hollow like child seemed to be finding someone. No, She seemed to be playing hide and seek with her friends.

And those names were kind of weird.

This made Yoruichi absolutely shocked. A hollow could be so much human like. She had never seen anything like this before.

"Um, Where are you? Why don't you answer Nel? Humph! I will find you, and I will make you chase me for eternity!"

The hollow spoke in hollow language, then ran quickly (for her little body) toward a direction. Yoruichi kind of understood what she said, as she had learned some hollow language from Kisuke and even Aizen.

She stalked her silently to see her behavior more. This hollow like child was going to change everything that she perceived as hollow.

'Did we misunderstand about hollows?'

They didn't know much about hollows because they deemed them dangerous and sealed the gate after that. They were busy keeping others at bay and didn't pay any attention to them anymore.

Until what happened a few years ago.

Then the little hollow ran around with a happy smile and snorted on her nose. She then stumbled upon a family store.

She looked at it with curiosity before she ran inside without even thinking!

Yoruichi followed her inside. She couldn't feel any aggression from her, so it was okay to let her go in order to observe her behavior a little bit.

If she did something bad, Yoruichi would be able to stop her in less than a millisecond.

"Oh, What a cute child! Are you on an errand for your parents?"

An old lady who watched over the family store asked the little hollow. 

She tilted her head a little because she didn't understand what the old lady said.

"Hel me ne me Nel De ye li fred ale?" (Hello! My name is Nel, Do you know where my friends are?)

"Oh, A foreigner. No wonder she dressed like that. But it looks very cute on her."

The old lady smiled. She thought at first that her outfit was weird, but if she was a foreigner, then it was another matter.

"A he gu ri eh ce me et teh?" (I am very hungry, Can I eat that?)

The little hollow pointed at snack in front of her. Even though she didn't understand her language, she understood her body language. 

It should mean that the little child wanted to eat it.

"You want that? I'll get it for you."

The old lady then gave her the snack. The little hollow didn't know how to open it. So the old lady helped her. She didn't ask for money, as she saw that she shouldn't have money on her.

She tried to look for her parents but didn't see anyone. She started to think that maybe this child was abandoned by her parents.

But before she decided to ask the police nearby for help, Yoruichi showed up and spoke to the old lady.

"Sorry for the trouble, granny. That kid is my little sister from another country. She ran here before I could catch her. She's a little bit naughty."

The old lady looked at Yoruichi and saw that she was a beautiful girl with a foreigner's trait, so she believed her.

"Is that so, Don't worry, she is very cute. There are not many kids that act like her now a days."

The old lady looked at the little hollow with nostalgia. Yoruichi must admit that she thought the same as her.

She looked at the little hollow. Her name should be Nel or something. She heard her name when she shouted earlier.

"De li us!" (Delicious)

The little hollow smiled widely as she ate the snack. Who told her that Hollow could only eat souls? This little hollow could eat snack!

The little hollow looked at Yoruichi, and then she did something even more unbelievable. She wanted to share her snack with her.

'Oh, my soul king, I might have to change my perception of hollow. They are like us.'

Or just Arrancar, They didn't know much about Hollow because they didn't venture deep inside the Hueco Mundo before sealing the entrances.

Yoruichi thought about something. She couldn't bring this hollow to her or Kisuke's place.

She could only think of a place that might be able to keep her. And that was Ichigo's house.
