Chapter 2: Big Beach Cleaning

It's summer!

The sun's shining bright!

And we're at the beach!!!

His excitement level is through the roof.

Let him have his fun. It's not often he gets to do this.

We've got a big group of people, and we're at the beach. That means we have to play beach volleyball, right?!

I don't know if "we have to," but a competition sounds fun!

Okay, then let's pick teams!

That's cheating! Ichigo and Chad are on the same team?! That's totally unfair!

We have no chance of winning!

You say that, but it was completely random. No use getting worked up about it.

Now, quit complaining and help us set up the court.

Woohoo! This is our chance!

Bpth!

Hey, what the hell was that?! How did that perfect toss suddenly twist and turn into a face spike?!

You know, it's really lame when you make it that obvious of a set up.

Can't you just play normal volleyball?

I didn't set it up! Seriously! Like, I'm super serious right now!

This is weird... Why can't I play right?

Well, you know...

There are way too many Hollows here.

Maybe the Hollows are here for summer vacation too?

Hmm.

It's really distracting. I can't play like this. Why don't we take care of them first?

Darn. I finally get a day off and I have to fight Hollows?

Maybe I should've just stayed home.

Hey, does anyone know where that idiot Shinji went?

Now that you mention it, I haven't seen him all morning.

He's in charge of cleaning and cooking today.

I don't think he went out to buy the groceries yesterday either. Where the hell did he go?

I saw Shinji this morning. He left with a big load of luggage.

Yes, that's right, I do remember him talking about the beach.

The beach?!

What?! Shinji went to the beach by himself?! No fair, no fair, no fair!!!

That stupid baldy! He ditched his chores to go out to play?!

This is unforgivable!!!
