Karakura Festival

Huh? Hey look, that's Ichigo over there.

Hey, Ichigo!

Ikkaku? I'm surprised to see you here.

I can't sit around doing nothing knowing that there's a festival going on.

Let me guess. Toshiro's here to watch over you guys.

I don't need any more trouble on my plate.

A festival? Yes! Let's go, Ikkaku!

Yeah! Festivities means drinks!

We're gonna drink all night long!

Let's see who's stronger, me or Renji!

I can see how that could stir up some worries.

Captain! We're gonna go on ahead!

Hey, wait! Don't go off wandering on your own!

I feel for you, Toshiro.

It must be a lot of work being a captain in the 13 Court Guard Squads.

I'd never want that responsibility.

By the way, Chad, did you want to go see any of the stalls in particular?

Hmm...

I wonder if they have turtle racing.

They might. You really like animals, huh?

Yeah.

Do you ever think about having a pet?

I thought about it, but I shouldn't right now. I'm away from the house too often.

Haha. That's true.

When things calm down, I might consider having one.

Huh?!

This Spiritual Pressure...

Let's go, Chad!

You're...!

Oops. It looks like I've been found.

What are you doing here? What are you plotting now, Gin Ichimaru?!

Oh, come on. I want to enjoy festivals too, you know?

I'm not plotting anything. Don't make such a scary face at me.

Quit fooling around with me.

I'll take you on right here, right now.

Hmm...

Alright, let's stop. I didn't come here to fight you today.

Hey!

You should enjoy the festival for what it's for.

Hey, wait!

Ichigo, stop.

We don't know what he's up to. It's not a good idea to launch attacks at him at random.

Grrr!

Gin Ichimaru...!
