Chapter 5: Like Water and Oil

Next, we'll be interviewing Squad 12.

I hope nothing goes wrong.

I-I'm sure it'll be fine!

Let's pray that it does.

Ah, what impeccable timing for you to arrive. You sure are lucky souls.

I've just finished creating this new medicine and would love to show you how it works.

No, it's fine. We're just here to get an interview to write up a recruitment ad.

Hold that thought. Let's try not to get him upset for interrupting what he wants to say.

We can do the interview after he finishes showing us. Let's just follow Captain Kurotsuchi for now.

I suppose.

You see, this chemical agent is used in battles against Hollows. When thrown at your opponent...

Hey, you're in the way.

Hold on right there!

Not only did you carelessly bump into me, but you've ruined my newly developed medicine!

How do you plan to take responsibility for this?

Huh?

Kenny, you need to apologize.

I've always felt irritated by your presence, but it seems I need to teach you a real lesson.

Oh? You wanna fight?

I was starting to get really bored. I'll take on a fight if that's what you want.

Uh oh, this can't be good!

If they end up fighting, the entire Seireitei will collapse!

Please! Calm down, both of you!

It's against rules for captains to fight against each other within the grounds of the Seireitei!

Tch.

What a way to ruin the moment. We're going home, Yachiru.

Okay!

Phew.

That seriously scared me for a moment.

What an irritating bastard, that damned brute! My new medicine is ruined!

Nemu!

Yes, sir.

C-Captain Kurotsuchi?! Why am I being captured?

You'll be coming with me as my test subject for my in-progress medicinal experiments until I feel satisfied.

Why am I getting dragged into this?!

Shut that little mouth of yours!

All of you will be staying here with me until I'm done with my experiments. All of them!

R-Run!!!

Hey! Don't leave me behind!!!

*Pant* *Pant* D-Did we lose him?

I-I think so.

That was terrible.

I couldn't even get an interview from him.

I guess I'll just explain in the article that the squad develops cutting edge technology.

I should write this down in my notes.

Huh?

Is something wrong?

Where are my interview notes?

Maybe you lost them while we were running.

We have to go back and find them. But watch out for Captain Kurotsuchi.

Here! I found the notes!

Really?!

Yes, I found them alright, but...

Huh? What's this pile of trash?

Don't tell me...

I think you dropped them when we were trying to stop Captain Zaraki and Captain Kurotsuchi from fighting each other.

So you're telling me these bits of paper are my interview notes?!

No, this can't be...

Do you want to go back and interview everyone again?
