Chapter 4: Wealthy Circumstances

Here it is, Lieutenant Abarai.

Oh, thanks.

Guess this is the last file. I thought it'd be busy at Squad 5 because there's still no captain here, but it's not that bad.

All the squad members know how to help each other out. I feel like they're being more helpful to me than anything.

I know Momo had a lot to take care of, but it looks like she prepared everything for me in advance so that I can work through it smoothly.

When I'm done with all this, I need to thank Momo and the squad.

Well, that's done! Time for me to go turn all this paperwork in!

Renji.

Hello, Captain. Oh, so this is who went to Squad 6.

I thought I'd enjoy this week away from Captain Soi Fon, but I feel like I'm being treated the same way.

I mean, minus the constant jabs and kicks. I guess it's better in that sense.

Huh? Is the swap not working out for you guys? I thought you two would get along because you're both wealthy.

You thought we'd get along?

I take offense at such nonsense. The Kuchiki Clan is one of the Four Great Noble Clans.

Offense?! What part of that was nonsense to you?!

Dignity demands that I not allow the nobility to be treated on the same level as someone like you.

My sword will teach you the weight of my pride as a member of the Kuchiki Clan.

Ow, ow, ow...

Wh-Why did you have to hurt me too?

My grandfather built the history and pride of the Kuchiki Clan as one of the Four Great Noble Clans of the Seireitei. It is beyond comparison...

...especially to that of a profiteer merchantman. Never should they be spoken about on the same level.

If you dare speak such words again, your head shall be severed from your body. Understand?

Y-Yes, sir. I promise I'll never say that again. I'm sorry.

Grhh! Why do I have to end up getting hurt no matter where I go?! Dammit!!!
