Full Moon Dango Ruckus

September's almost over... It went by so fast.

Things have been pretty lively since Rukia and the others from the Soul Society came here.

It really feels as if time went by faster than usual.

We've been keeping busy with training and fighting Hollows.

Unlike summer, there aren't as many events in autumn, so I should be able to focus on Soul Reaper work.

That's not true, Ichigo!

There are plenty of events in autumn.

Besides, there will be a harvest moon tomorrow, remember?

Oh, you're right.

The night of a full moon, huh...

It's tradition to put pampas grass and dumplings somewhere in view of the moon, right?

Yeah! You eat dumplings while enjoying the view of the full moon.

Every year, I try to come up with new ideas for toppings that will go well with dumplings.

It's really fun to come up with new combinations with different ingredients!

Like strained bean paste with okra!

That doesn't sound very good...

Ichigo, does your family celebrate the night of the full moon every year?

Yeah, my dad and Yuzu love these events where the family can get together.

But my dad just uses it as an excuse to let loose and doesn't even bother to look at the moon.

Haha, your family always sounds like fun, Ichigo.

*Hollow!!!* *Hollow!!!*

Here we go again.

A Hollow?

Yeah.

Let's go, Ichigo, Chad!

Alright!

Ichigo, do you have a minute?

Hm? Is something wrong?

Could you do me a favor on the way home from school tomorrow?

What is it?

Tomorrow's the night of the full moon, right?

Well guess what? I made reservations to get moon-viewing dumplings at Hoteiya!

Their dumplings are super popular because they're so good.

It was really hard to get a reservation, you know!

I heard they sell out within ten minutes of opening every year.

So you want me to pick up those dumplings you reserved?

Why don't you just go and get them yourself?

I have to get dinner ready, so I don't think I'll have time to pick them up.

Alright, fine.

Hehe, thanks Ichigo!

I'll cook up a perfect meal for the full moon tomorrow.

Here's the reservation ticket and payment for the dumplings.

Got it.

I'll go pick them up after school tomorrow.

Okay, thanks!
