Chapter 5: All's Well That Ends Well

The summer special edition of the Seireitei Bulletin is out! Get your copy!

Care to try out our Ambassador Seaweed buns?

They're hot out of the oven!

You'll be missing out if you don't try one now!

Next, I want shaved ice! Let's get some!

Alright, alright. Just hold on a second. Hey, you two! Don't run! It's dangerous!

Mmm! Strawberry shaved ice is the best!

No, melon is the best! Right?

Of course, they're all very good.

Your responses are so vague, Momo. Well, I still think soda flavor is the best!

Sorry about this, Hyorinmaru. I know they worked you hard over at the other squads, and we're still making you work here.

It's nothing. These festivals aren't so bad.

Looks like everyone's having fun out there. It's good to see.

Captain Kyoraku, have you heard anything about Squad 12's show?

Oh, right. I forgot about it. Well, I'm sure they'll start soon.

Easygoing as always, huh?

What's the point in worrying about it? Come on, we need to go back to our section soon.

How's the progress?

Everything is moving along as planned, Master Mayuri.

Well, then. I've prepared so many things for this day. Now...

...which shall I begin with? Heh heh... Nemu!

Yes, Master Mayuri.

We'll start with the one that's been modified to 500 times its normal size.

*Screeeech!*

Ugh, what an inconsiderate Hollow!

I'll get rid of it immediately.

G-ghi... *Screech!!!*

Now, Nemu. Will you please bring me that Hollow?

Yes, Master Mayuri. It's right over here.

An ingredient decided to present itself to us of its own accord. Let's use it for an extra flare in our fireworks.

Ghi?! Gee-eee-eee!

Do me a favor and burst bright in those skies.

Ghi-aaaahhhh!!!

Ooh, fireworks. Those are magnificent.

A nice touch to the seasonal theme.

It is. But I have to wonder. Didn't that firework have a strange color to it?

Well, considering the entire show was left up to Captain Kurotsuchi, I'm sure it was something special created at the Department of Research and Development.

Does it matter, though? It's beautiful. Look at everyone. They're in awe.

I suppose you're right.

By the way, Captain. I should remind you that you took no part in planning Squad 8's booth.

Not only that. You left me to handle all of the expenses, plan the event, and coordinate everything that happened today. Do you have any thoughts?

Wow, you did a wonderful job! I'm a lucky man to have such a talented lieutenant.

You're gonna make this up to me as soon as the festival's over!

Huh? But I'm planning to go drink with the others after this.

I won't allow it!

Come on, Nanao. Pleeeeaaaase?
