Soul Reapers' Christmas Eve: Chapter 4

Ichigo, are you home?

Ichigo!

What's up? Why are you both here?

Did you have some homework you needed help with?

We were wondering if you could do us a favor.

Hehe. You see, we were hoping you could go buy us a Christmas cake.

You can do that, right?

Pretty please, Ichigooo?

Your daddy's begging you!

Annoying!!!

So, a Christmas cake? Did you have a specific store in mind?

In fact, we do!

Just have Dad go get it. Why me?

Too bad! Daddy is busy with a patient and he can't leave their side!

You're obviously not at their side right now!

We're begging you, Ichigo.

Please?

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

I felt like I had no other choice, so here I am, but...

...Dad aside, it seems like Yuzu and Karin are always trying to make me go out and buy stuff.

Do they think I have nothing to do?

Hmm? Talking to yourself during the joyous Christmas holidays?

You got a problem with me being alone?

I do. It's a big problem. You're wasting your once-in-a-lifetime youth.

Holiday season should be about going out on dates with pretty ladies.

Singing Jingle Bells as a solo guy under the Christmas illuminations just makes for a sad picture.

Why would anyone do such a thing?

And who are you to talk? You're alone too.

I'm popular with the ladies, so I'm not the one with the problem there.

Oh, okay.

Anyway, I have stuff to do. I'll catch you later.

Why the unfriendly attitude? I thought I'd come talk to you because I saw a lonely classmate.

I'm not lonely! Nor do you ever come to school!

We're eternal classmates at heart. You know it.

Alright, I'll see you later.

So you just ignore me like that? That's cold! Colder than this winter chill!

Ugh, what do you want? Stop bothering me!

I really need to get going.

Where to? I'm bored. Can I come along?

So you just wanted to kill some time.

I'm going to buy a cake. You won't get anything even if you follow me.

A cake, huh?

Sounds good. I'll come.

Do whatever you want.
