Chapter 3: Who's Calling?

I have to wonder why Kisuke is doing all this.

I know he helps out with the town's shopping district events, but this doesn't seem to be one of those.

And seeing how you two are here, I have a feeling I'm gonna end up running into other people I know.

You'll find out as we move along. All you have to do is stay in the event. You can run around confused the entire time for all I care.

You're lucky it was only me that you fought before, but you have to get more serious. Be prepared to snatch those treats away from the enemy!

Okay, so who thought of those weird rules? Was it Kisuke?

Stop asking so many questions and get focused. You're not going home unless you win. I don't think you want that to happen, do you?

Why such a harsh rule? No one told me about that earlier!

I'll just have to keep going and bring the event to an end.

Finally! Took you long enough. I was starting to worry that you might not show up.

I apologize for the wait.

Rangiku's in on this too? So does that mean Toshiro's here with you?

The Captain's doing work back at the barracks.

While you guys are enjoying Halloween, huh? I guess it's good to know things are peaceful around here.

Hey now, don't make it sound like I'm lazy. I have my own things to deal with too.

So Ichigo, you have your treats on you, right?

Yeah. It's only what I got at the beginning though.

Well, lucky you! This is your big chance! If you win against me, you'll get double the treats!

Really?! That's great. This could be easier than I thought.

That doesn't mean I'm gonna go easy on you though. Are you ready?

Panpuru! Pinpuru! Hainekkon!

Gotcha!

Hey! That's cheating!

Sure, but a win is a win.

Fine, whatever. Here, you can take this.

Thanks. How many of these do I have to gather in order to win?

...-mpkin... Pu-...

Huh?

What's wrong, Ichigo?

Did you hear something?

I didn't hear anything.

Neither did I.

Maybe you're just tired.

Well, if I am, it's definitely your fault.

Don't blame us. We're only following orders to complete our mission here.

Don't make this sound like it's a big deal.

...-mpkin... Pu-...

Huh? I heard it again! You had to have heard it this time!

I think it's coming from over there!

Wait, Ichigo!
