Chapter 2: Please Teach Me, Master Kon!

Now, listen! I'm gonna give you a crash course on the world of the living!

O-Okay, I'm listening.

First off, the world of the living is a lot tougher than you think. Education, work...everything matters. It's a dog-eat-dog world.

I-It's really that rough?!

Actually, there's a place we can go see all this. That place being the café!

The young and old, men and women, people of various jobs come together there, so it's a good place to gather information.

I see. So it's like a tea house or a snack shop of a sort.

Hmm, I wonder what's good there. Things must taste different in the world of the living.

What are you talking about? We're not going there to eat and drink.

Huh? But we're going to a café, right?

You think a quick drink of tea will give you an idea of this world?! And what fun is there in drinking tea with a guy?!

You're going there to work!

Wait... What?!

W-Work? Me?!

Who else? You think I can work looking like this?

You asked for a quick lesson on the world of the living. Working at a café where you can meet a variety of people is the most efficient way of doing so.

A-Are you sure?

Well, I suppose it's a valid way of broadening my knowledge. Alright, I'll work at a café.

That's the spirit! I'll take you to one of my favorite places.

Thanks!

W-Would you care for some delicious coffee? Please visit our café...

And he's immediately assigned to passing out flyers. Ugh.

The best part about that café is the girls' fabulous uniforms.

P-Please come visit our-

Woah?!

Ahh, the flyers!

Oh, my. That's a mess. Here, I'll help you pick them up.

Wait, what the hell?! What are you doing here, Hanataro?

L-Lieutenant Matsumoto? Lieutenant Hisagi...and Lieutenant Abarai?!

Woohoo!!! Passing out flyers is the best!

Pbth!!!

Why are you here passing out ads?

Well, you see...

That's why you're working? Wow, you're so diligent!

Huh?!

Y-You really think so?

I'm fine doing investigation missions like this one, but I can't imagine working, ever.

It seems like too much...work.

R-Rangiku! I can totally do this too!

No, I can probably do it even better!

Listen, Seventh Seat Yamada, we're gonna have a match to see who can pass out more flyers!

Huhhh?!

Come with me!

Eeep! No, get away from me!

Gr! Why doesn't anyone want to take my flyers?

Your face looks scary. You're trying way too hard.

Would you care for some coffee? We also have delicious sweets. Please visit our café.

Ooh, that does look good! I'll see if I can stop by later.

Th-Thank you very much.

That was my last flyer, so I'm done! Phew.

Good job! That was fast.

I'm glad no one refused to take them. Humans in the world of the living are very kind.

You're going back to your café now, right?

I'm getting tired from walking around on this mission. Would you mind leading me there?

Wait, what? Rangiku!

Come on! Let's be on our way!

Ah, uh... You don't have to push me.

Rangiku! You can't just decide you're gonna... And there she goes.
