Chapter 5: More Mysterious Incantations

Well, we're gonna go chill somewhere.

You guys stay out of trouble.

Yeah, see you later.

Huh, wait! Me, too! I'm coming with you!

Hey, you haven't finished showing us around town yet!

Well, there he goes. What now?

What choice do we have? Guess we'll just figure it out ourselves.

Hey, what are you two doing here?

I should ask you the same. Aren't you supposed to be with Captain Hitsugaya?

The Captain's been out since morning checking on the east side of town.

And you decided to leave his side to enjoy the world of the living instead, I see.

Don't make it sound like I'm just playing. This is part of the investigation too, you know?

I'm having Orihime show me where the popular shops are for girls. It's valid research.

And where's Orihime? I don't see her around.

She's still shopping in the store over there.

I got thirsty, so I stepped out to get myself a drink.

I want something to drink, too. Can we come with you?

Oh, I already bought them, so I won't be going anywhere.

Huh?

But you're not holding anything.

I'm sorry to keep you waiting, Rangiku!

Thank you! That was quick.

Anything for you, Rangiku! Here's the tall-iced-light-ice-extra-shot-latte you requested.

And this is Orihime's short-blue-Hawaiian-mango-soy-tea.

What the hell did he just say?

I'm guessing it's another spell.

But Shuhei hasn't even been to the world of the living that often. You're telling me he's already mastered some spells?

It sounds like it.

Sorry, Rangiku! I didn't mean to take so long!

Perfect timing, Orihime! Shuhei just got us our drinks. Here, this one's yours.

For me, too? Thank you so much!

The pleasure's all mine.

I think it's time we start heading back. I didn't expect to buy so much stuff.

But that's what guys are for! You two are gonna help us carry these home.

Huh?! Rangiku, you're such a-

Yeah, yeah. Here, you take these.

And you hold these.

Wow! This is heavy! What in the world did you buy?!

It's all in the name of research! Come on, let's get going.

Shuhei! Can you bring those other bags too?

Of course. Right away!

Boy, am I fatigued. I bet Rangiku's planning to expense all of it.

There's no way it'll go through.

Thank you for helping us carry all the stuff.

I'll go brew some tea. Please, make yourself at home and watch some TV.

And feel free to flip the channels!

What does she mean by "flip the channels?"

Maybe she means for you to flip that Soul Pager-looking device. Try it and see if that does anything.

What are you guys doing?

Is it really that much fun spinning a TV remote?

Remote? I thought it was "channels."

Are you serious? You are both way too ignorant about the world of the living!
