Chapter 2

What are you all doing in school?

I should ask you the same. Why are you here so late at night?

We were making sure that it's not Hollows who are causing the recent rumors.

Oh? We came to pick up our Gigai that we left over here in the world of the living.

Don't leave them just because you're too lazy to take them with you.

Do you leave them at school?

No, we keep them somewhere else. We just use this place as our exit point.

There's usually no one at school in the middle of the night, so it's convenient to use this spot.

We use the school pretty often, but we also use abandoned houses and buildings too.

Abandoned buildings... That's a phrase I've heard recently.

So, where do you leave your Gigai?

The department store.

Department store?!

We leave them with the other mannequins so that they blend in. We thought it'd actually be safer there.

Plus, they dress them up in different clothes, so I don't have to find my own set of clothes when I get here. Smart idea, don't you think?

Um, do you think the rumors of footsteps at the abandoned building and the mannequins at the department store are...

Yeah, most likely.

So they're all because of Soul Reapers.

At least we know what caused three of the seven wonders now!

We should be able to figure out all of them at this rate.

Seven wonders, huh.

Humans are so afraid of scary stories, and yet they love rumors and urban legends.

What other rumors are there?

Uh, the next one is a ghost of a woman dressed in white who flies around town.

Oh, that sounds so typical.

Why are there so many scary stories with woman ghosts in white clothes?

Hmm. Maybe because it stands out in the dark.

Like that person over there!

Orihime, could that be the ghost we're looking for?

Huh?!

You might be right. Hey!

Roooaaaaarrr!

Ahhhhh!

She's being attacked by a Hollow! We have to help her!

Come on, get ready to fight!

Already on it!

What's this? Is that Hollow causing you trouble?

Uryu!

Shut up! We're not having any trouble!

Sure thing.

Thank you for coming, Uryu! We were able to beat it faster thanks to your help.

No need to thank me for anything.

Well, it's time for her Konso.

Ichigo, she's dressed in white, but she's not floating.

Oh, you're right.

Hmm. Does that mean there's another white ghost who's wandering around town?

Are white ghosts that common?

What are you all talking about?

White clothes, flying...

What are you staring at, Ichigo?

Uryu, Quincies have a skill that lets you walk in midair like us Soul Reapers, right?

Oh, you mean Hirenkyaku?

There are fewer obstacles in the sky, so I use it whenever I need to rush somewhere.

In those Quincy clothes?

Of course. This is my formal Quincy attire.

If it's not an emergency, I make sure to change into it.

Ichigo, do you think...?

I'm pretty sure.

The flying ghost in white was Uryu.
