Chapter 5: Captain Komamura Goes to the Human World

I have my supplies, the tools, and...

...ah, right. I can't forget the notepad with all the new words I learned.

Good. I'm all ready.

Time to head to the Senkaimon.

...-aptainnnnn!!!

Hm? Did I hear someone's voice?

Captain Komamura!

Oh, phew! I made it!

What's the matter?

W-Well, it's about that trip to the world of the living.

Ah, yes. I'm fully prepared to leave, so I was just making my way to the Senkaimon.

Yes, about that.

Captain, I'm so sorry, sir!!!

The mission I told you about was my misunderstanding!

Misunderstanding? What do you mean?

It was actually orders for another squad.

I mistakenly looked at Squad 10's orders. I saw that it was for the world of the living, and I rushed over to tell you, but...

...I'm very sorry, sir.

Is that right? Well, it can't be helped.

Captain...

Don't be so down, Tetsuzaemon. We'll just wait for next time.

But you went through all of that preparation.

It was a good opportunity to take care of my Gigai. I'm sure we'll get another chance eventually.

Well, I'll go relay the mission to Squad 10 then.

Captain Komamura's...

...Gigai?!

L-Lieutenant Iba! What does the captain's Gigai look like?!

Uh, actually, I've never seen it either.

Captain Komamura!

Huh? Where is he?

He just went to the Squad 10 barracks.

Aww, we must have just missed each other! I went to the Squad 7 barracks and they told me he went to the Senkaimon, so I came all the way out here.

What business did you have for the captain?

Well, you see, our squad can't make the next mission to the world of the living, so I came to see if Squad 7 could take it for us.

This next mission is a simple investigation order, so the Head Captain said we could ask anyone.

Ca...

Caaaaaaptaaaaaaaaain!!!
