Chapter 2: Lieutenant's Meetings & Errands

This package is heavy too. What's everyone buying from him?

I should finish these errands and get to the meeting soon.

Actually, I don't even know where the Women's Soul Reaper Association gathers.

Renji?

Captain Kuchiki! I've temporarily returned from the world of the living to attend the lieutenant's meeting today, sir.

Is that right?

What are you doing here, sir? Were you on your way somewhere?

Just...the lieutenant's meeting.

Huh?

I was planning to attend it as a substitute in case it was going to be difficult for you to return.

Your arrival was a little later than expected. Did something happen?

Everything's alright. It's nothing really.

I'll attend the lieutenants' meeting as planned! Please feel free to go back to your duties.

Alright. I'll leave it to you then.

Yes, sir!

That was a close one. I was about to make Captain Kuchiki go through extra trouble.

Hmm. I guess I can just give the package to Rangiku after the meeting.

Huh? I didn't expect you of all people to deliver this package.

Well, I didn't expect I'd come all the way out to make this delivery myself either.

And it was heavy carrying that thing. What is it, if you don't mind me asking?

It's a limited-time only, seasonal make-up kit. This popular cosmetics brand in the world of the living just released it!

Hey, everyone! We got the make-up we ordered!

Ooh! I was really looking forward to it!

So this is what you girls were talking about.

Let's open it up and try it out!

Oh! Let me go get the others! They'll be happy to hear that our orders have arrived!

Women are so energetic when it comes to this stuff.

Anyway, I've done my part in delivering the package, so I'll be heading out now.

Is Kisuke here?!

Oh, hi there, Rukia. Welcome to my shop.

How can I help you today?

What is the meaning of this?!

Uh, what do you mean? You'll have to explain a little more than that.

The stuff I ordered the other day! I got something completely different!

Oh, look at that. Seems Renji gave you the wrong package.

Hmm. I suppose it was a mistake for us to use the same wrapping for all of them.

I'm very sorry, Rukia.

I asked Renji to make the deliveries, but...

...it looks like he gave you the one that was supposed to go to the Women's Soul Reaper Association.

I believe your order is in the Soul Society with Renji.

What?! Damn that Renji! He can't even do a simple task.

I'll just have to go back to the Soul Society.

Oh, in that case, can I request you to take this package to Yoruichi?

I think that's where she's at right now.

Have you no shame? You're asking me, a customer who came in to complain, to do errands for you?

Oh, come on. We're friends here, aren't we?

Fine. I'll be going there any way, I guess.

Thanks a bunch!
