Soul Reapers' Christmas Eve: Chapter 3

It's so heavy.

Why is it always me?

What are you doing, Renji?

Hey, Rukia. Can't you see? I'm being slave-driven by Kisuke.

I know. I just wanted to ask anyway.

Let me guess. You were told they needed to stock up for Christmas, then they picked on you for being a freeloader, and now you're assigned with heavy labor.

It's as if you were there watching. You know them really well, don't you?

It's Christmas season, and you still can't escape from trouble.

If you feel any pity, you think you can help?

Sorry, but I actually have plans.

Oh? Are you off to buy some seasonal Chappy items or something?

Hahaha.

It's something you wouldn't understand, seeing as you've been forced into free labor for having excess time to spare.

Oh, I should get going. Merry Christmas, Renji!

Rukia's become so in-tune with the world of the living lately.

Oh, hello, Renji. You're still here?

What's with the party look?

It is Christmas after all, and Christmas is all about being in a festive mood.

Anyway, you sure took your time with that.

Sorry, I guess. What, did you come out to greet me?

Well, actually, I forgot to ask you one more thing.

Huh? What's that?

Can you take that load straight to the Soul Society?

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

What?

I would like for you to deliver that to the Soul Society.

I refuse.

Oh, and go prepare the Senkaimon on your own. I'm sure it'd be faster that way.

I said I refuse! That's way too much trouble, and this stuff is heavy! Really heavy!

There, there. No need for you to be so shy about helping me.

I'm not being shy about anything!

So once you're in the Soul Society, the person in charge should come greet you. From then on, just follow their instructions.

I have somewhere to go now, so I leave the rest in your hands.

What? Who's in charge? What instruction?

I'm starting to think I drew the shortest end of the stick.
