Chapter 2: Rumors at Karakura High

So, what's the next mission about?

It says here that there's a strange rumor going around Karakura First High School. We are to investigate this rumor to make sure it's not caused in any way by a Hollow.

When it comes to rumors, the best person to ask would be...

Hey there, Ichigo. Looking for me?

Yeah, you'd be the one.

I'm here too!

No one ever asked for you.

Oh, right. No one ever needs me...

Do you know about any weird rumors going around school recently?

Oh, you're probably talking about the nightly parties at the abandoned building.

There's a really old run down building that doesn't even have electricity, but for some reason, it lights up at night and you can hear people partying in it!

Oh my. Is this true?

Some people saw the lights, and some actually heard voices coming from inside. Rumor is that ghosts are living there.

Ichigo, if these are Hollows who have formed some sort of unique lifestyle, it could be a serious problem.

Yeah, I know.

Mizuiro, tell me about this building. Do you know where it is?

Hold on a second! Are you planning a fright fest?! I want to be a part of it too!

It's nothing like that!

You probably know of the building. It's the one at the edge of town.

Hm?

Wait, don't tell me it's...

I knew it! It's you guys!

What's your problem?! Don't come in shouting at us for no reason!

There's a rumor going around town about this place. Something about an abandoned building with lights and parties at night.

Well, there's nothing we can do about that. We actually do live here.

Is there anything you can do about it?

Why should we care about what humans think? We need a place to live.

Well, can you at least try not to cause problems?

Request denied! If you want us to quiet down, how about you try and make us?!

All right! You asked for it!

Yeah! I won!

Phew... That was good exercise for stress relief.

If the rumors spread and we get the cops called on us, it's just more trouble for us, so we'll calm down like you said.

Woah, wait a minute. Did you just say this was "stress relief?!"

I'm sorry we caused trouble. I will make sure to strengthen the barriers at night.

Yeah, that would probably be best. Well, take care, guys.

So now that you know what that rumor was about, the mission's complete, right?

Yes, thank you for taking care of that. The truth behind the rumors had no relation to Hollows. No problems detected. All right, that's been noted.

We have one more mission to go. Ready, Ichigo?
