Chapter 4: Grass Roots Activities

Getting them to help me out was another step forward, but I really wanna find them homes soon.

The longer we leave them out there, the weaker they'll get.

Hold on, Goro. I promise I'll take care of this!

(Oh, Lieutenant Iba... He must be really worried for the kittens. I must do something more to help!)

Let's go ask everyone we know. We might actually be able to find at least one person if we asked everyone, right?

You found kittens without a mother?

Uhh... Well, I have medicines that can revitalize small animals.

Medicines? That you made?

No, not really. It's just a part of the research we do here at Squad 12.

But kittens, hm... You said you're trying to find someone who can adopt them, right?

That's right.

If you're really desperate, I think our Captain would take them in as test subjects, but...

N-No, let's not! I can't let you take the kittens for that kind of purpose!

Yeah, I'd prefer not to have to sacrifice the kittens if I don't have to, so I suggest you go elsewhere before our Captain comes back.

Boy, Squad 12's got some strange ones.

I have to agree there.

We'll wrap up for today. Sorry for dragging you around all day, Rukia.

No, it's fine. I'm the one that should be sorry for not being able to be of much help.

Actually, you helped out a lot. Well, if there's any progress on my end, I'll let you know.

Please do! I look forward to hearing good news soon.
