Chapter 2: Collecting Information

Anyway, I should go talk to the other squads for their input, too.

I've got a lot of people I need to go talk to today, so I'm counting on you, assistants.

I was worried when you suddenly called me up out of nowhere.

I'll try to do my best, Lieutenant Hisagi!

So, which squad do we start with?

How about Squad 4? I'm sure the medics of the 13 Court Guard Squads can always use more help.

To Captain Unohana's it is! Let's go!

So, yes, I think that's about it. Was that enough information?

Yes, it's perfect. I'm sure there will be a lot of people who will apply for the job.

Squad 4 is severely lacking the members we need, so I'll be counting on you.

Thank you for your time!

I'm glad that went smoothly.

I feel like I was able to learn from her stories, too. I hope you can turn it into a good article.

Um, hey!

I heard you're writing about Squad 4. Is that right?

Then, can I suggest a few things to mention in that article?

Huh? But we finished interviewing Captain Unohana already.

You see, Squad 4 mainly focuses on healing, so some members aren't as good when it comes to fighting, and there's been a bit of bullying because of it.

I want to stand up for the members of Squad 4 and take away the bad reputation that's been going around.

I'll show you right now that even the members of Squad 4 can fight when we need to!

Huh? Wait, just hold on a-

Lieutenant Kotetsu! Stop! We get it!

B-But I...

We all know that the members of Squad 4 work very hard for us.

It's thanks to your squad that we're able to fight knowing that we'll be alright if anything happens.

A-Are you sure?

I'll be sure to mention that there are strong members like you and Captain Unohana in the article.

Thank you so much. I look forward to the recruits, then!

Whew. That was a surprise.

I see Squad 4 has a set of their own problems they have to deal with.
