Chapter 4: The Need to Fight

I didn't expect people would actually come up to me outside of school.

It must be rough being so popular.

Sorry, guys. I'm gonna go home for today.

Huh? You're not gonna hang out with us?! C'mon, Ichigo! Please?

Don't you think it's a bit pathetic for a guy to be begging for someone to stay, Mr. Asano?

Man, the way you treat me feels really harsh these days!

It's so much quieter walking the back alleys. I should take this path for a while.

You, what are you doing there?

Woah?! Don't just pop out of nowhere! You scared me!

Oh, Ichigo, it's just you. Try not to talk to yourself while walking through these dim streets. You looked really suspicious.

Mind your own business. What are you doing in a place like this anyway? Hunting for Hollows again?

It's not hunting! I defeat them!

Right now, I'm taking care of errands as student body president. You have no right to complain about what I do.

Speaking of the student body, I've had to deal with a lot of trouble because of your event!

That's because you've been trying to make quick cash by renting yourself out to clubs!

Why did you guys decide to do that event anyway? It wasn't in the original plans.

The president from last year insisted we do it and wouldn't budge.

The previous president being...?

Keigo's sister.

I can't see anyone winning against her.

I'm glad you understand.

Being a rental helper is nice and all, but you should go home. Won't your sisters get worried if you come home late?

What are you, my dad?

I guess I'll just keep things on the down-low until the Culture Festival's over.

Wait, I feel like I'm forgetting something.

Hmm, oh well.
