Chapter 1: A Lieutenant's Duties

Hey, Hiyori?

What?

I can't take my hands off of this right now, so I was wondering if you can go turn these documents in for me.

Huh?! I did that for you yesterday! I'm not your little errand girl!

Oh, there you are. Don't make me look for you.

We're about to perform a rather large scale experiment. You are to assist.

What's that?!

I'm not asking you to perform a difficult task. Just transport the chemicals and sort out the empty bottles like usual.

You can at least do that, can't you?

Oh, if you're going to the storage room, can you bring me these medicines too?

I haven't had the chance to go get them yet.

Urg... You guys need to knock it off!

You use me like a slave every day! And it's always for the most mundane tasks!

Why don't you just do it yourself?!

Damn that duo! What is their problem?

I'm not their convenient gofer! I'm a lieutenant for heaven's sake!

Is that you, Hiyori? What are you doing looking so bored?

*Sigh* I've been so busy. I think I'm gonna die of fatigue.

I can't even take a lunch break and I work overtime. Dang, I miss sleep. I'm jealous that you get to wander around like that.

Bored? You think I look bored?!

Say it again! I dare you, you bald-ass!!!

Bwah?!

Wait, Hiyori! Time out!!!

I'm already super pissed off at the two idiots who keep making me do their odd jobs!

Oh, uh. I see. You've got it tough too, huh?

I guess all the squads are really busy right now.

You said you were swamped. Did something happen there?

We got orders asking for Sosuke to be an instructor at the Soul Reaper Academy for a while. So all his work comes to me now.

Ugh, just thinking about all the work makes me depressed.

Sure, Sosuke's a lieutenant, but would the captain really become that much busier just because his lieutenant's gone?

Could it be that lieutenants are doing a lot more work than captains in general?
