Chapter 2: Kon-ta Claus Visits the Soul Society

I went and did my errands!

Huh?

Kon, you returned at just the right time.

What's with all those boxes behind you? Are they presents for me?!

No, they're not. You see, right after you left, I received a whole lot of orders from various Soul Reapers.

They seem to be in a rush for these, but I can't close up shop since we're so busy right now. I was stumped trying to figure out how to deliver them.

Just make them come pick them up!

They said they can't either, which is why I was in a bit of trouble.

But now that you're back, it looks like I'm saved.

I'm not gonna do it! If you can't make the delivery, just tell them you can't! It's not like you need to make all that money!

Well, I suppose you're right. Then I guess I'll have to call Rukia to let her know I need to cancel her order.

Woah, hold up. Did you just say Rukia?

Yes, I did. One of the orders is from Rukia.

All right, I'll go! I'll do it for her!

I knew I could count on you, Kon! And while you're at it, can you go make the other deliveries too?

Whaaaat?!

You're going to make the trip anyway. Might as well, right? I'm sure it'll be quick.

All right, I don't see anyone around.

And then Kenny said...

Wait! I know that voice!

Guh, I have to get away from here!

Helloooo! Delivery from Urahara's Shop!

Oh, that was quick.

If you weren't in such a rush, you should've said so! I hustled all the way out here just for this!

Well, no, actually. We did need them in a rush. Now we'll be able to make it in time for the Christmas party. Thanks a lot.

You're having a Christmas party?

It was a last minute decision. To add to that, Rangiku suggested we have a gift exchange, so I immediately made the order.

Oh, I see now. So that's why there was a sudden rush of orders.

Yeah, that's probably it. Huh? There's something else attached.

An invoice for a loan? Hey, I know it's not my place to say this, but you really shouldn't borrow money from that greedy penny-pincher.

I bought a motorcycle, but there's no other way to bring it over here. I didn't really have a choice. It's funny because Renji told me the same thing.

Of course he would. Well, just be careful dealing with that guy.

Anyway, I need to make these other deliveries. Do you know where I can find this guy?

Captain Hirako? I saw him by the barracks earlier. That'd be over in that direction.

Yeah? Great!
