Chapter 3

Now we just need to find a spot and buy some food.

We'd better find a spot first.

It'll have to be a place where a lot of people can gather, and I can move around in peace.

That's a pretty tall order.

Especially the last part.

So, do you have any ideas?

There's a dry river-bed over that way. Let's take a look.

I wonder if there's a place that's hidden from public view.

We'll see.

No point in thinking about it. Let's go check it out.

I see you're all working hard.

Urahara.

I heard you're having a barbeque.

Yeah, we were just making preparations.

I have some good news for you!

You could hold your barbeque at the front of my shop.

Not only that, but I'll lend you my equipment for free! I'll even throw in a ton of food as a bonus.

Really?

Yes, really.

But!

That's only if you beat me in a fight.

If you lose, you will clean out my shop's warehouse.

Huh?

I'll still let you use the location and equipment even if you lose, though.

What's the point then?

Okay, here we go!

*Pant* *Pant* I-I won...

Ah, you beat me.

Well, remember our promise.

I have no choice. I'll lend you everything for free as promised.

I'm a little worried by your generosity.

Oh no, it's just a token of appreciation.

Finally, it's barbeque time! Yeaaah!

Rukia, Orihime, let's grill some meat!

Are you sure you don't mind lending us this place, Urahara?

Don't worry about it. I really just want to show you my appreciation.

It's a big help, right? Just accept it and be thankful.

Y-Yeah, you're right.

Oh, I almost forgot. I brought something with me today.

(I don't like where this is going...)

I'm actually working on an edible spiritual tool.

I put a lot of work into it, hoping you'd all give it a try.

So, what happens when you eat it?

There are many different effects, so it'll be a fun little surprise.

There are different flavors too, like consommé, caramel, and more!

It's not the flavor I'm worried about.

So anyway...

Open your mouth, please.

Whoa, wait-

Ahh?! Get away from me!

What's going on over there?

Who cares? Bring on the meat!

Looks like it's cooked.

Here, eat up!

O-Orihime is serving me food?

I'm not worthy!

You're the one that said you want to have a barbeque.

Enjoy it while it's nice and hot!

Orihime... Rukia...

(I didn't know it was possible to be this happy.)

(If this is a dream, I hope I never wake up!)

Well then, don't mind if I do.

Eat it!

Whoa?!

Ahhh?!

Th-That was close... It almost went in my mouth.

Ichigo? Something flew over here just now.

What was that? It went into Kon's mouth.

Oh...

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

H-Hey Kon, are you alright?

Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!

Eep!

Oh, how is it, Kon?

That one is death sauce flavor, and it increases the user's range of Spiritual Pressure detection!

Now's not the time!

And that flavor doesn't sound like it's worth it!

Waaaaaaggghhhh!

It just had to end like this! Whyyyyyy!
