Izuru

I wonder if Rangiku will be okay.

Shuhei

I'm sure she'll be fine.

Chojiro

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

Izuru

Lieutenant Sasakibe, is everything okay?

Shuhei

We can help you, if you don't mind? Why do you have all this stuff?

Chojiro

The monthly tea ceremony is tomorrow, and I'm trying to get the final preparations done.

Izuru

Oh, the one by the Head Captain.

Shuhei

This looks like a lot of work.

Chojiro

Actually, it's not that bad.

Izuru

If you don't mind me asking, I was under the impression that you didn't like Japanese food. Do you enjoy the tea ceremony?

Shuhei

Woah, isn't that kinda rude?

Chojiro

I don't mind. You see, it is my duty to assist the Head Captain.

That being said, if we do get that special budget, I plan to suggest English style tea parties as well.

(Ah, so it's true that he doesn't like it.)

Chojiro

I've also tried to grow black tea leaves, but I haven't been very successful.

If the special budget passes, I hope we can build a facility with temperature and humidity control. That would be ideal.

Shuhei

I hope you get to see it happen.

Retsu

Is that true, Lieutenant Sasakibe?

We at the Flower Arrangement Club prepare flowers for your tea ceremony every month using the minimal funding we receive, and yet you complain that you don't have enough?

Chojiro

Well, no, that's not what I meant.

Izuru

C-Captain Unohana, please, calm down.

Retsu

May I assume then, that you will give us your portion of the upcoming special funds?

Chojiro

Tea ceremonies require a lot of supplies too, like cups and the sweets to go along with the tea.

And we always remember to send tea ceremony invitations to members of the Flower Arrangement Club.

Retsu

We do appreciate the invitations, but I think it would be a nice gesture if you gave us a little more.

Izuru

Uh, can we all calm down for a moment here? Please?

Shuhei

Lieutenant Sasakibe, isn't there anything? Maybe something you can give them as a gift?

Chojiro

Hmm, well...

What if we send you a set of sweets on the day of your monthly meetings like the one we have at ours?

Retsu

Oh, you would do that for us?

I'm sure everyone at the club would be very happy. I'll be looking forward to it, then.

Phew...

Izuru

Women are really scary sometimes.
