Chapter 1: Girly Stuff

We will now begin today's meeting for the Women's Soul Reaper Association. First, the Chairwoman would like to suggest an idea.

If you please.

Let's go out and have some fun, right now!

What?!

Oh, that sounds like a good idea. Especially since the incidents with the Sword Beasts are finally dying down.

That's great! I really needed a break. You guys make me work way too much.

Really? I don't ever recall seeing you work. To be honest, it looked like you were always playing.

Well, why don't you go work alone if you love working so much? You don't have to come with us, you know?

I never said I wasn't coming!

Stop fighting, you two. This is a great opportunity. Let's all go together.

But hold on. We can't just suddenly decide we're going to go somewhere.

I don't think it'd be a problem if it's just a little group outing after this meeting.

She's right, Nanao. It's not like we're going on a vacation trip for several days.

Well, I suppose that should be fine. So, where did you plan on going?

To Byakky's!

Hey, isn't that Zabimaru's snake boy over there?

Yeah, it is. That's strange. It's not often you see them separated from each other.

............

Hi, there. You're not with the monkey lady and Renji today?

Don't even talk to me about him!

Huh? What happened?

Don't worry about it, Momo. I'm sure it's just another one of their stupid quarrels.

It's not stupid!

We promised each other that we'd always be together from now on! Renji even said he wouldn't have it any other way!

But just earlier, he told me I can't come with him anymore.

Oh, no... Did Renji really say that?

What's that? I thought I heard my name.

Hey, Renji. I know he's your own Zanpakuto and all, but don't you think you're being a little too harsh on such a little kid?

You're the lowest of the low.

Renren's so mean!

Men are so worthless. The entire lot of them.

Woah, what?! How come I'm being bashed by all of you?!

That's a complete misunderstanding!

I just told him to stop following me into the bathroom all the time!

Oh, uh... Right. That's understandable.

Then, can I stay with you all other times?

Well, I mean... Yeah, of course. I kinda need you to stay by my side.

Renjiiii!!!

Boy, you guys made such a scene out of this.

Sounds like Snake caused a little trouble for you guys. By the way, what are you ladies doing in such a big group?

We're going to Byakky's.

To Captain Kuchiki's manor? What for?

To have a tea party!

Since you're a girl too, would you like to join us? Our girls' days out are a lot of fun.

Just Snake?! That's not fair! I wanna come too!

Then we can all go together!

Yeah!

Does that mean Renji's coming too?

Of course you are, right?! You promised we'd always be together!

Is this seriously happening...?

By the way, you did get permission from Captain Kuchiki to visit his house, right?
