Chapter 6: A Possible Candidate?!

Welcome back. Were you able to find any candidates?

No luck here. But tell me, what happened?

Well, just a little trouble, I suppose.

Are you even listening to me, Chairwoman?! Oh, stop that! You're spilling the candies as you eat them!

This may not be a good place to talk.

Maybe we should step outside.

So in other words, we've all got nothing.

Nanao, I don't think this is gonna work. Let's give up on this idea of the beauty pageant and think of another...

I realize you're in the middle of a conversation, but excuse me.

Is this where I sign up for the Mister 13 Court Guard Squads contest?

I was told you were accepting applicants whether they be recommended or self-nominated.

I would love to take this chance to present my best suit that I secretly had tailored in England in case an event like this should arise.

I've heard that the Head Captain has been recommended by Lieutenant Kusajishi and plans to participate as well. I understand this may be a close battle, but...

It sounds like different information's been getting mixed up into this.

Um, Lieutenant Sasakibe? May I ask who you heard about this from?

From both Lieutenant Hisagi and Lieutenant Kira.

Oh no, those two? I told them I was looking for girls, not guys!

I'm so sorry. We're looking for candidates for a Miss 13 Court Guard Squads. All the other information you have is wrong.

But I...

I kinda feel bad for him.

You say that so easily but whose fault is it?! Why do we keep getting all these men?!

I'm sorry, all right? But you were the one who came up with this beauty pageant idea without warning us.

I suggested the idea because I want to resolve our funding issues! If we hadn't wasted money, we wouldn't be in this situation!

Excuse me. I was told to deliver a recommendation letter to you from my brother. Is Lieutenant Kotetsu here?

A recommendation letter?

That's right! Captain Kuchiki said he would write a letter to introduce a candidate to us! I'm glad he pulled though.

That's great! At this rate, we might only have one contestant, but one is still a start!

This is Captain Kuchiki's recommendation. I think we can count on it. Let's take a look!

Hmm... "I write this letter to recommend the following candidate." Who does he mean?

Maybe he's talking about this drawing that was included in the letter.

What is this? It's so weird!

I think it's called Ambassador Seaweed or something.

It's a character that my brother came up with! Unfortunately, I think he's male...

Did you explain to Captain Kuchiki the purpose of this contest at all?

Well, I thought we did.

I can't do this anymore.

Someone explain to me what the hell is going on!!!
