West Rukonagi.

It's been a few months since I have arrived in the Soul Society and to my surprise, the first person I have gotten myself acquainted with is none other than Gin Ichimaru himself.

Yes, he is not the Gin Ichimaru who has already become a captain however he is the Gin that we all know and he is just a young boy at present.

He is yet to enter the Shino Academy or even met Rangiku Matsumoto.

That day when I visited his shop he was selling Persimmon which he had made with a few months of hard work and he wanted to sell them to earn some money to buy a new cloth as the old one is beyond repair now.

After that, I bought all his Persimmon and took him to the chipset cloth shop, and fought two black robes, and pants for one each of us.

Afterward, I asked him for directions to stay but didn't get a suitable house to stay in the first 40 divisions of Rukonagi and finally decided to build a house with his help but when I wanted to pay for his service he asked my permission to stay in the house as he doesn't have any place ti stay.

From then on he is leaving in my/ our house that we have built together.

"Takashi we are out of rice." while I was swinging a wooden sword in the forest I heard Gin shouting from the house.

"Then we need to get some from the market." with that said we left the house and started our journey to the market.

=====

Division 40 of Rukonagi marketplace.

Arriving at the market Takashi and Gin bought a few kilograms of rice and vegetables within only 1 Soul Coins before they decided to return home.

While they were about to leave the market they heard a meat shopkeeper shouting "2 kilograms of meat for only 0.5 Soul Cion."

Hearing this announcement Gin who was walking beside Takashi seems to have frozen on the spot as Takashi who is walking and speaking to himself finally discovered he is walking alone and Gin is far behind him.

After glancing at the place Gin is starting at Takashi asks with a smile "Why don't we have meat today Gin?"

Hearing Takashi's offer a wide smile appeared on Gin's face before vanishing into a grave one as he shook his head before saying "No if we buy meat that will cost us the money equivalent of 8 kilograms of rice and 2 days of our combined earnings. 

So it is wise for us to just return home with what we have already bought. 

Maybe when we become strong and have a lot of wealth we can eat meat as much as we want."

"Don't worry it will be alright just trust me today I want to eat meat and that is final." Takashi said with a smiley face as he looks at Gin who was trying to hide his desire to eat meat for a reason but the drool on the corner of his mouth said something else.

"But if we don't get any work then what will we eat." Gin asks with a serious face looking at Takashi's face as Takashi shook his head with a smile before announcing with a chuckle "Don't worry just leave that to me and if worst comes to worst we will eat your Persimmon. "

"Fine." Gin said with a serious tone but the excited smile on his face is evident he is happy that he will get to eat some meat finally.

=====

After we bought the meat we also bought the ingredients to cool the meat for 0.01 Soul Coin before we started our journey to our small bamboo house.

While on our way home we found an Orange haired girl at the same age as Gin lying on the road as Gin said with a serious face pointing at the girl "Takashi someone is on the road." 

"Are you asking or notifying you fool?" I asked in annoyance because of his double-meaning sentence before I look at the girl on the road to say with a nod "Yes I can also see her."

Arriving by the side of the girl we found she has dry lips and her body also has malnutrition and said with a sigh looking at her "She has clasped because of malnutrition."

"She is like us." said Gin with a serious face as I asked him to carry the bags before taking the unconscious girl in a princess carry before we started walking towards our small house.

=======

Rangiku who was being carried by Takashi opens her eyes for a moment when she felt something warm in the cold of the snow touching her and saw an average handsome boy not so older than her carrying her before falling unconscious once more because of hunger.

Arriving at the house Takashi put's Rangiku on his bed as he covers her with his blanket before asking "Gin get the firewood while I prepare the ingredients for cooking today we are going to eat Curry rice."

"I am on it." Gin said with a smile before going out of the house in excitement as he only thought how good the meat is going to test.
