Chapter 3: A Long-Awaited Reunion

What's with the look? It's been a while, hasn't it? You don't seem very excited.

Sorry, I guess. It's just that I feel like I'm about to die of hunger.

Welcome back. Why don't you take a seat?

I'll brew you some tea. Do you have any preference?

You know, I'll take anything right now. Even water sounds good.

I want royal milk tea! Piping hot, please!

There's a ton of donuts here. You should eat some of those, Ichigo.

Hey, excuse me! Those are MY donuts! Don't you dare lay your dirty hands on them!

We're only talking about one or two. You're so stingy, Riruka.

What did you say?! You're such a brat! Why don't we take this to my Dollhouse and talk about it there, huh?!

I apologize for the wait. Here's the perfect cup, brewed for the exact number of minutes.

We're drinking it here? Oh, whatever. Thanks for... Ah!

Sorry! It slipped out of my hands. Are you okay, Jackie?

I'm not hurt or anything. I just got some tea on my boots, that's all.

Dirty Boots, the dirtier they get, the stronger they become.

Uh-oh...

Say, Jackie. How about you take this chance to fight Ichigo for a round?

Why would you say that? You know I'm really hungry right now! You're gonna make me exercise on top of that?!

It's those excuses of yours that make you soft. Think about it this way. Everything will taste delicious if you eat if when you're in an extreme state of hunger.

Hey, I never said I was gonna do it!!!

That was fun, Ichigo. Thanks.

Sure, just go ahead and attack me without my permission, geez.

You say you're hungry and you're powerless, but that looked like a good fight.

That doesn't make me feel any better!
