Social Obligation or Genuine Feeling? Chapter 1

Rangiku!!!

Stop being lazy and help out a bit! You're the one who made this mess in the first place!

Ehh.

But you said you would do it yourself because I'd just make it worse.

Yeah, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't do anything! I mean, look at-

Oh, no! Captain, you need to separate the recyclables!

Empty cans and empty bottles need to go in different bags! You're gonna have to redo that.

Oh, right.

Muahaha. That should do for a while.

I'm sorry I'm making you do all the cleaning.

It's fine. Captain's really good at this stuff.

Oh! On a completely different note, I have a request for you, Orihime.

What is it?

I hear there's this event coming up called Valentine's here in the world of the living.

Something about girls giving boys chocolates, right?

I assume you'll be giving some to Ichigo.

What?! Well, yes, but I mean, I'll give them to everyone else too.

So, can you come with me to buy some?

Oh, yes, of course. Who were you planning to give them to?

Hmm, let's see. I'll give some to the Captain for sure, and the Head Captain, Kira, Shuhei...

...and pretty much all the guys I can think of!

Because you get something three times the worth back on White Day, don't you?

Huh?

That's such a good deal.

Anyway, now that it's decided, we're gonna go buy some chocolates!

R-Rangiku... But...

Rangiku, where do you think you're going? We're still in the middle of cleaning here.

Oh, did you want to come too, Captain?

What are you talking about?

There's no time like the present, they say! Come on, let's go!

Hold up! We need to finish cleaning!!!

Wow, look at this! Isn't this one cute?

You're right! I like the one next to it too.

Ran-gi-ku.

Oh, Captain. You took your time.

That's because you just went running off. Let's not forget about the-

Orihime! That shop over there has chocolates too!

Ugh.

I can't do this anymore.
