Chapter 6: Kon's Results

Finally... Today's the day Ichigo returns.

............

Did he say around what time he'd be back?

I think he said it'd be after school.

Uh, hey.

Hm. A Hollow.

Oh, boy. Here we go again.

It's in the direction of the park!

Hey, wait!

Roarr... Raaaahhh!

Over there.

Nothing seems out of the ordinary. Let's take care of it.

Ichigo and Rukia are coming home today. Let's welcome them back to a peaceful home!

Er, I guess I'll tell them later.

It's done.

Is anyone hurt?

We're all fine.

Hey, y'all! Good jo-

Oh, guess I didn't make it in time.

Ichigo! Rukia!

Thanks for defeating the Hollow. I'm sorry we couldn't come assist you sooner.

Don't worry about it.

How were things on your end?

Everything wrapped up on schedule. Sorry for leaving you guys for so long.

Starting tomorrow, things will be back to-

Gah!!! Let me talk! You all keep interrupting me when I'm trying to say something!

Calm down. What's wrong?

He's probably still hyper because he got to stay out and enjoy the world of the living for a long while.

I didn't get to enjoy it at all! They made me study for tests the whole time!

Although, thanks to that, I was able to score pretty good on those exams!

Oh? That's impressive.

Take a look! Here are my test results!

That's pretty average.

What?!

No way! These are super-high scores!

Ichigo's scores are usually higher.

They're still lower than mine.

Hey, shut up.

B-But I think it's pretty amazing for you to score so well with only a short amount of time to study!

At least you got that. Satisfied, Kon?

Grr... Dammit all! I tried so hard! I didn't even get to play.

And yet I get no praise! What is this?!
