Chapter 3: Here We Are, But...

Oh, hey Ichigo. What are you doing here?

You're not with Rukia?

Rukia? Haven't seen her.

You're not with Toshiro and the others? Rangiku's looking for all of you to help her carry a bunch of stuff.

You think I'd want to meet up with her after hearing that?

I know you probably don't want to help out, but you're here for a reason, right? Are you sure you don't need to join them?

Well, no, but Kisuke asked me to come to his shop.

I'm sure Ikkaku and the others have gone over to Rangiku's.

Kisuke summoned you too? What's he trying to do?

Beats me. I have to hurry up and get this over with so I can meet up with the others.

Now get a move on.

Don't make it out like I'm loitering around!

What? He's not here?

I had a look, but it doesn't seem like anyone's here. The door's also locked.

What's the big idea summoning us and then going off somewhere?!

There's something posted here.

A change of venue notice?

So, he wants us to go somewhere else?

Is this addressed to us? I'm just here to get detergent.

No chance of getting detergent or anything if no one's here.

You either buy it somewhere else or give up and go to where he wants you to go.

I wouldn't have come all the way here if I could buy it at any old place.
