Chapter 3: Popular Ichigo

So, how much then?

How about five thousand yen?

Five thousand yen per week?! Get real! Next!

Ichigo? Oh, looks like he's busy.

He's talking some business, so he'll probably be a while.

This is for the treasure hunt, right? That's a really long line. I guess everyone wants Ichigo on their team.

This really sucks! Ichigo's not gonna have time to hang out with us.

Funny. You make it sound like he actually ever wanted to hang out with you.

What? Hey, what's your problem, man? I have better stuff to do than to make a total nuisance of myself by hanging around bugging Ichigo while he's working at his part time jobs all the time!

Ugh, that was a waste of time. Let's go home.

So you just declined everyone?

It's different from just normal club practice. It's not worth going through all the trouble for such little pay.

Ichigo.

Oh, hey, Chad. What's up? I thought you were still being rented out to the music club.

Actually... I have a favor to ask.

If you haven't decided on a club for the Culture Festival, do you think you can help me out with one of the clubs?

What? You too, Chad?!

They insisted and I couldn't say no.

I'm not taking any requests, even if it comes from you, Chad.

Then will you fight me? I'm sure they'd understand if I told them that I fought you and you still said no.

You're willing to go that far? Geez, what club is this?

But sure, let's do it.

Hey, uh, hello? You two? I don't think it's wise to have a big fight so close to school.

There you are! You're Ichigo, right?! I am Satoda, co-captain of the school's soccer team!

Hm.

I'd like to request your help!

He came to find you all the way from school? He must really want to hire you.

Sorry, but I've already decided I'm not gonna rent myself out for the Culture Festival.

Chad, tell your club I can't do it too.

All right. I'll let them know.
