Shinji

Hey, Shuhei? Goin' somewhere?

Shuhei

Yes. I'm off to the world of the living to work on an article for the Seireitei Bulletin.

Shinji

Huh? It's back in print?

Shuhei

No, not for a few more months, but we're doing a special edition looking back on the big war.

The next part of my job is to go interview Kisuke Urahara.

Shinji

*Sigh* Going to Kisuke's place, huh? My condolences. He ain't the type to give straight answers to an interviewer.

Shuhei

Huh? Oh, man...

2. Before the boss

15 lines

In Karakura Town, there exists an unusual store unlike any other.

The puzzling candy store, Urahara's Shop.

On the surface, the residents of Karakura Town know it as the old shop built on a lonesome street, but for those aware of the existence of Hollows and Soul Reapers, it is a different story.

The mysterious man who is sometimes seen out and about with a hat pulled low over his face is an influential man behind the scenes in Karakura Town.

He was once the captain of Squad 12 in the Soul Society.

To the residents around him, he is just the strange candy shop owner who looks good in hats.

However, those aware of his abilities know of him as something else.

The founder and first chief of the Seireitei's Department of Research & Development, Kisuke Urahara.

Shuhei

So, that's how I was thinking of introducing you.

Kisuke

Whoa, Shuhei, I can't believe you were able to read that entire thing with a straight face.

Shuhei

Huh? Was something wrong with it?

Kisuke

Oh, but the phrase "puzzling candy store" is funny, so please leave that in.

You should write "Mystery Market" after it in parentheses.

Also, feel free to describe me as "shady" instead of "mysterious."

Shuhei
