Chapter 2: World of the Living Work

No waaay! Hahaha! That's so cuuuuute!

Hahaha! That girl's got the most unbelievable taste in-

Zip it. Stop squealing.

A-Are you okay?

Hey, Ikkaku. You don't have to wear that shirt my sister gave you. I'm pretty sure it doesn't suit your fashion sense.

She gave it to me as a gift. I have no right to complain.

Anyway, show us around town.

But there really isn't much to show. It's not like we have any famous places or unique foods.

I mean, what are you two here for anyway? Oh, are you planning to move into town? Did you want to check it out before you decide?

No, I told you already. We're here to do research on Karakura Town.

But you won't even tell me what you're researching. I'm not sure where to start.

You're such a nit-picky guy. I don't care where we start. I just want information about this place.

Information...research... Oh, are you two detectives?

Detectives? Who's that?

It's not a specific person. It's a type of job, I believe.

Yeah, uh, you don't know?

It doesn't matter what it is. Don't you have anything you can think of?

Hmm. But what can I show you?

Oh! I know one! There's this guy who I think is gonna get real famous soon.

He wears this black kimono and does these action scenes with monsters all around town.

I'm pretty sure he's filming for some TV show, but I haven't seen it air yet. Maybe it's on the local channel.

Anyway, there's a chance we might be able to catch a glimpse of him today! Let's go!

There he is! That guy, over there!

Tahhh!

How ya doing, Fro-Man!

Hey, Ikkaku. Tell me if I'm wrong, but he's not human, is he?

I think he's the guy in charge of this town. What was his name? Kurumadani?

Meaning, we just came to see a day in the life of a typical Soul Reaper assigned to the world of the living.

Yeah, exactly.

Ah, that was great, don't you think?

I didn't see the filming crew, so maybe he was doing a rehearsal. Well? Did that help?

He might become the next top-star! Isn't that exciting?

Gotta stay ahead of the times, ya know?

Nah. Sorry, but that was nothing out of the ordinary.

Whaaaaat?

You mean, you see this kind of stuff all the time? Wait, don't tell me. Are you guys TV talents?

What's a "TV talent?"

Oh, you should've told me!

And you should listen when people talk.

Aw, man! That's crazy! I had people on TV stay at my house?

Hey, can I get your autograph when we get back home?

I totally want to boast about it when you guys become famous!

Quit yapping! And stop circling us like that!
