Chapter 2: Mission Accomplished?

What's the deal? You made such a fuss about not going, and you're here!

Ugh, shut up.

Ichigo!

I'm, uh, sorry for the other day.

Whaddya mean?

It's just that Tatsuki was telling me you really can't stand TV shows like this one.

And I had no idea.

That's cool. It's really no big deal.

Look at those two. They know it drives me nuts, but they do it anyway.

But you still showed up. Why is that?

Oh, yeah. Well, my dad and my little sister go out of their minds for Spirit Hunter.

And that's why you're here?

Guess so. I couldn't just let them come alone, ya know?

Wow, you've got such a good heart, Ichigo.

Why? Isn't that normal?

Uh...

Oh, yeah. That's normal.

Mmhm. Very normal.

Hey, Orihime! We're gonna head on without ya!

Oh, hey! Hold on, Tatsuki! Wait up!

Hurry up, Ichigo!

The spirits are always with you!!!

Hold on to your seats, my babies. It's time again to hear the spirits cry!

The stench of the spirit world hangs in the air around us.

I'd have to say, it smells like bad spirits!

Bohahahaha!

Bohahahaha!

............

Hey, what's with the serious look?

As long as you're here, you might as well try and have fun.

Shut up, I'm always like this.

Between all of your school work and your duties as a Soul Reaper, you must be exhausted.

Use tonight to enjoy yourself a little.

What? Are you...

By the way, tell me, what is this festival all about?

You mean you showed up here without even knowing?!

I see. It's television. I get it. So that's what the festival's about.

(Yeah, she doesn't get it at all.)

Seriously, you'd think there'd really be spirits in a place like this?

Rooaaarrrr...

So there is one here.

Hey, shouldn't you perform a Konso for it?

We don't want the spirit to become agitated with this many people around.

We'll do the Konso after the show.

Hmm, this is bad. It's a pretty evil spirit.

Very well. By the power of my Super Spirit Cane, I'll wipe him from the earth!

All right, let's send you over to the other side, baby!

The fool!

What the hell does he think he's doing?!

Stop it!

Huh?! What's wrong with you, kid?

Oh, wait! I get it! You're dead, but you're a fan, aren't you?!

Don't make me kill you.

Gaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!

He's gone.

Yeah! Mission accomplished, baby!

Are you kidding?

Did that really get rid of the spirit?

Roooooaaarrrr!

Look out, Ichigo! Above you!!!
