Chapter 1: The Warrior of Hope Emerges!

Good morning, Ichigoooo!!!

So hey, did you finish that art assignment? Let me take a look!

No way.

C'mon, please? I'm so curious about what other people see as their ideal selves!

"Orihime: The Warrior of Hope"?!

Wait, are you serious about this?

With our town under attack by hundreds of monsters, a hot hero arrives! Me, Orihime!

Can this feminine fighter vanquish the violence from her village? Let's hope that she and her six underlings can save the world! And that's my ideal self!

Aww, you're so adorable, Hime! You're both cute and strong! How can anybody beat that?!

If I were ever in danger, you'd come and save me, right?

Of course!

But in reality, a dangerous threat like that would never happen.

Don't give up! You're a Warrior of Hope! You might not run into a scene like that, but small dangers are lurking all over the place!

I used to dream of becoming a hero of justice too. If you run into danger, you have to let me join you in the fight!

Okay!

Ichigo, I need to talk to you.

You boys are late! What's wrong with you guys? You better take this more seriously!

I told you to meet up right after school!

I'm sorry, okay? It was hard getting the guys together.

Sorry.

So, why did you gather us here anyway?

Well, duh! I now present to you Orihime, the Warrior of Hope, and her six underlings!

Hime! How's it feel having your dream come true? Does it excite you? Isn't it thrilling? We should choose a costume for next...

That's nowhere in the plan!

Ichigo, were you able to get it done?

I mean, I did what I could. I don't know how it's gonna turn out, though.

All right, Hime. Let's set out on a midnight patrol with me and these five extra...

I should vanquish you right here and now! It'd be way too dangerous at night! Of course we're gonna go home before then!

Orihime, let's go out on a patrol together as the Warrior of Hope and her friends.

Tatsuki, Chizuru, thank you so much!

I still wonder why you spoil Orihime so much.
