Chapter 3: What's Most Important

Are you sure it was okay to leave them like that?

It's fine. They'll deal with it. Anyway, Lisa should be somewhere around...

There she is. I knew she'd ditch the cleaning to come to the book store.

What do you want? I finally have some free time and some of these books are only on sale at the end of the year.

Oh, then buy me my usual fashion magazine too! Thanks!

You wish. Go get it yourself.

Come on, it's just one magazine!

Well, fine.

See these books? One person can only buy up to two. If you help me buy more, then maybe I'll think about it.

I have no doubt they're erotic books, considering you actually want more.

Oh, isn't that Uryu over there? Hey, Uryu!

What are you doing here?

Is he your friend, Ichigo? Good timing, then. You help me out too.

Wh-Why do I have to get...those?

Hold on, let me start again. Why do I have to help someone who I barely even know in the first place?

It's not a big deal. Just help us out.

I refuse!

Let's not forget that we're also underage! Why did you even agree to it, Ichigo?

Yeah, you're right. Sorry to bother you.

Anyway, the New Year's Eve party is at Kisuke's place tonight, so make sure you come by before midnight.

I know. Thanks for the reminder, but I'm not finished with you yet!

As for you, Lisa, as soon as you're done with that, go back to the hideout and help clean!

Sure... Hmm, this one looks good. But I'm curious about that one too.
