Chapter 2: The New Captain?

Either way, there's no time. I need to decide on something fast.

What are you mumbling about over there?

I need to fill some pages in the Seireitei Bulletin, so I'm trying to come up with something to write about super fast.

Do you have anything in mind?

I'm still trying to figure that out. I do have a few candidates, so I was gonna go talk to the Women's Soul Reaper Association right now.

Oh, they've gone on some sort of trip if I remember correctly. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't envious of their ability to fund activities like that.

When it comes to budgets, they're in a completely different bracket compared to the Men's Soul Reaper Association.

Well, let's not talk about that right now. You said you needed an article, right, Shuhei? I've got a good idea.

Huh?! Really?!

Yeah, follow me!

This is Squad 7. Did something change here?

Yeah! The Captain just got his new robes and wrist guards.

Oh... Just new robes and wrist guards?

Scuse me, Captain! Shuhei here says he's in a bit of a pinch with his Seireitei Bulletin.

Would you be able to help him out by giving him a few good shots with your new robes?

(Eight pages of Captain Komamura's robes?!)

B-But... I'm sure it'd be too much trouble since I came without appointment.

Hmm. Would this pose work out for your photographs?

(And he's willing to do it?!)

Well... It's just that I wasn't ready for the idea, so I'm not prepared with a camera right now.

I see... I do have matters to attend to after this, so I can't stay here for much longer. It's too bad, really.

Come on, now. If you're gonna call yourself a journalist, you should always carry your camera.

I-I'm sorry.

I'll be leaving soon, but have you finished your task, Tetsuzaemon? You returned rather earlier than expected.

Oh, were you to helping me out while you were trying to get something done?

Actually, we're trying to expand the Men's Soul Reaper Association while the Women's are gone on their trip.

I was gonna begin by asking the reinstated captains.

I get it... Hey, wait a minute. The reinstated captains...

(That's it!)
