Chapter 2: A Convenient Item

Ugh, which way did it go?

I wish I could just get another Combat Pass. But there's no way that'll happen. I can see myself getting yelled at from all corners.

Why, hello there. Looks like you're in a bit of a pinch, Ichigo.

Kisuke... Maybe you can help me out.

Let's hear it.

Well, so it happened like this...

Interesting. I understand your situation now. Then, perhaps I have the perfect thing for you.

You see, your Combat Pass emits a special type of Reishi in trace amounts. Guess what? This item right here can detect just that!

Why were you carrying it around? That's way too convenient to be a coincidence.

By using this handy item, you'll be able to find your Combat Pass in no time.

Did you just ignore me?

But this is coming from you. I know it can't be free.

Well, if you don't want it, then I'll just go back to my shop. I'll see you next...

Wait, no! I didn't say I didn't want it! Can I use it, please?

Thanks for your business!

If you can come by the shop later, I have a few things I could use some help with.

So you are gonna make me work for it.

According to Kisuke's item, it says it should be around here somewhere.

Woah, he's really here.

Sorry, but I'm gonna take that back! You can't even eat it, so what good is it to you?

*Hollow!* *Hollow!*

A Hollow at a time like this?! See, you dropped it too! It surprised you, didn't it?!

Phew, finally caught you.

Well, well. It looks like you've found it already.

I knew that the Combat Pass emits a special type of Reishi, but I wasn't sure exactly what it was.

I'm glad it was pretty accurate. Thanks for the valuable experimentation results.

Y-You used me?

What if it didn't work like you said?

Well, let's see...

There's a possibility that you might've been lead into a nasty Hollow's nest, or maybe you would've just wandered in circles around nothing.

You should've told me the disclaimers first!

But I guess your invention helped me out this time. So, thanks.

Not a problem. I'll take payment in the form of hard physical labor.

See, he's telling you to make it free too.

Unfortunately, that's not going to be an option.

Although, you did help me with my experiment, so I suppose I can provide you with a free meal.

See, just the other day, Ururu went to get Yoruichi some food and mistakenly bought dog food instead.

What about me?!
