Chapter 4: Essentials for the Human World

We also need to gather the supplies we'll be needing in the world of the living.

You're right. What do you two do in preparation for these trips?

The basics aren't that different from a usual mission, actually.

Yeah, I just take the same things I'd need for a normal trip. Other than that, it's figuring out what to wear over there.

That's true. I'm always careful about my appearance. Their trends in fashion are always changing.

I see. Then I should make sure to groom myself before I leave.

Oh, right! There's a shop Orihime recommended to me the other day, just for you Captain.

I can go get you the supplies I think you'll need.

It'd be great if you can do that for me. I appreciate your thoughtfulness.

I was able to prepare everything without problem, thanks to all of you.

It's interesting how luggage for vacations and long missions can really differ from people to people. Hm?

What's wrong, Renji?

Wait... Is this dog shampoo and a dog brush?

Is something the matter?

N-No, it's nothing!

So, is there anything else I should be careful about when I visit the world of the living?

Let's see. Hmm... Maybe your speech.

The way you talk might come off a little too formal over there.

And they're always coming up with new words. I don't understand a lot of them when I read their books.

I should learn those new words, and work on my speech, just in case I need to converse with the humans.

We can help you if you'd like.

Yes, I would appreciate that.

Yo peeps, turn up, hashtag BFF...

Veggies-to-the-peaks with mixed-garlic-plus, mic drop, YOLO...

You're really getting the hang of it!

Hmm. These words are really complicated.

Alright, now let's try using them in normal conversation.

Ahem. Can I take your order, sir?

I'll take a tall-iced-extra-shot-latte-light-whip.

Wow! That was perfect, Captain Komamura!

You'll have no problem getting around in the world of the living.

You think so? I do feel a more confident now.

It's all thanks to you, Shuhei and Renji. I'm very grateful for your assistance.

Any time, sir. I'm glad I could help.

Good luck on your trip!

I'll do my best to not let your efforts go to waste.
