Chapter 2

I don't mind helping you find the sender of your chocolates, but...

Do you have any clue as to who might've given it to you?

I'm sure it has to be one of the female squad members.

Uh. Do you have any idea how many women work in the Seireitei?

It's impossible to find out who did it without some sort of hint.

Hmm. You're right.

Let's think of some people who could've done this.

There have been a growing number of people who have started sending gifts on Valentine's because of Rangiku.

But there's also quite a few who ignore the event because it's not as special as a birthday.

So it's someone who cares enough to celebrate the event. Momo, maybe Lieutenant Kusajishi... No, she would be on the receiving end.

Momo had errands to do for her squad, so she won't be back until the end of the day.

So it can't be her.

Hmm. Who else would have prepared for Valentine's?

Are you sure you can't think of anyone, Lieutenant Iba?

Actually, I might know.

I think...this is from Rangiku.

Well, she is sending chocolates to everyone in the Seireitei.

No, that's not what I meant.

Huh? What do you mean by that?

I've been hearing how shy guys have become a thing these days, but I still believe a man should be strong.

It's my overflowing manliness and my trustworthy reliability that Rangiku has fallen in love with!

Lieutenant Iba. Will you...accept my love?

I'm not sure that'd be considered a guess, but rather...

That's just wishful thinking.

I'm absolutely sure that isn't the case!

I agree that being manly is important, but what's most important is having a kind heart!

And it's me that has satisfied Rangiku's needs to the best of my abilities over the years!

Therefore, I should be worthy of receiving Rangiku's love!

Shuhei... There's something else I wanted to give you. Will you be my sweet Valentine?

What are you saying? Rangiku's chocolates are mine!

I won't yield to anyone on this point.

Oh, you've got some guts. The strongest, most reliable man should be Rangiku's sweetheart.

If you're not backing down, we're going to have to fight this out to see who is more worthy!

Bring it on!

Lieutenant Iba... Will you win this fight for me?

Ahhhh! Rangikuuuu!!!

Shuhei... I believe in you.

Rangikuuuu!!!

Y-You two! Calm down! Please!

We don't even know if those chocolates are from Rangiku yet!

I don't get why they're both mumbling to themselves while they're fighting. I wonder if they're hearing something inside their heads.

And they're not stopping even with Izuru yelling at them. What are we supposed to do?

What's this ruckus about?

Captain Komamura?!

Captain Komamura! Good timing! Please help us!

What's going on?
