Chapter 3: A New Game?

We're back!

Ahhhh!!!

Quit screaming! Calm down already, will ya?!

What's going on here?

I-I-I'll excuse myself... Ahhhh!!! An octopus monster?!

Huh?! What did you call me?! Did you come all the way to our barracks to pick a fight with me?!

N-No, that's not it! I came to drop off the medicines! But then, Yumichika here...

It's not like I meant to scare you. I just wanted to show you the pages in this book I found. I didn't think you'd freak out that much.

It's a record of the executions from the world of the living. It's not that exciting. This is why everyone thinks Squad 4 is a bunch of wimps.

You're here too, Tetsuzaemon? What brought you to our barracks?

I came by to drop off the files that Lieutenant Kusajishi left behind during the lieutenants' meeting.

Meanwhile, I was organizing files and found these illustrations that were too beautiful for being in an execution log, so I felt I should share with these two while they were here.

What's that? I wanna see!

I'm not sure you'd find them interesting, but there's a lot in our library archives. Would you like to go?

Yeah, of course! Let's all go together!

"Since that day, you could hear a bell jingling from deep within the wall." The end.

That's just a scary story from the world of the living!

If you know that, why do you panic each time you hear a story? You're so pathetic. Man up a little.

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

Wh-What was that sound?

Sounds like a bell.

D-Doesn't it seem like it's coming closer?!

Sure does.

Why are you all so calm? Ahh, it's getting even closer.

Ah... Ahhhh!!!

Hey, wait. It's dangerous if you go that...

Ahhhh?! C-Captain Zaraki?!

Huh? What are you all doing here?

Good morning, Kenny!

Just killing time, really. Is something going on, Captain?

We got orders from the old man. It's just another Hollow mission, but it's good enough for killing time.

Let's go, guys!

Did... Did I suffer through all those scary stories just for them to...kill time?

Eh, happens all the time.
