Chapter 1

Tetsuzaemon, what's with the emergency summons? Did something happen?

Well, you see, I caught wind that some of the Soul Reaper women had a girls-only Christmas party yesterday!

So that's what this is about? Yeah, I heard that Rukia organized it.

Yes, and it looks like Momo had a great time, too. She was talking about it with Captain Hitsugaya.

That's right. All the Soul Reaper women who were there seemed to be in a good mood.

Their girls-only Christmas party, or whatever it was, must have been a blast!

So I got to thinking! Why can't the men enjoy a bit of Christmas fun, too?!

We could, but Christmas has already been and gone.

Nonsense! A man's Christmas lasts from today until New Year's Eve!

Now that's just unreasonable.

Regardless! Us Soul Reaper men are gonna hold a Christmas party, too!

First, we need to get Captain Hitsugaya on board! He already knows about the girls' Christmas party, so that should make things go smoothly!

Shuhei, Izuru, come with me!

Will Captain Hitsugaya really agree to join us?

I'm not so sure.

No.

I knew it.

What?! But you knew about the girls-only Christmas party just like Shuhei and Izuru, right?!

I just happened to be there when Momo got invited, that's all.

Don't you agree that we Soul Reaper men also have the right to have some Christmas fun?!

I'm not saying we don't have the right, but I won't be participating. Go do some work if you really have that much free time on your hands.

Um... How about giving yourself a break, Captain? That's what you told Momo to do.

Don't push it.

Work has been piling up here thanks to that damn party. I don't have time for a break.

Maybe you guys would like to help me pick up the slack and get all of this work done. How about it?

S-Sorry to bother you!

Tetsuzaemon, let's get out of here!
