Chapter 3: Rushing in Without a Plan

Along with a rise in costs, there are now more preparations we'll need to make in advance.

It isn't efficient if all of us work on the same thing. Why don't we assign tasks?

Yes, we must find a pyrotechnician and a location. We must also set up food stands and prepare yukatas.

*Giggle* I know the perfect spot, so I'm going there right now!

Let's go, Nemnem!

Understood, Miss Chairwoman.

I think I have an idea for the food stands. Let's go, Kiyone Kotetsu.

Huh? Me?! Captain Soi Fon, wait up!

I think I'll join them, too. Help me, Momo!

Huh? R-Rangiku?!

Good grief. Everyone's just doing as they please.

Well, this is how it usually goes. Should we look for a pyrotechnician?

Yes, let's go.

That being said, where exactly are we supposed to find a pyrotechnician?

From what I've heard, there's a pyrotechnician living in a peculiarly-shaped building on the outskirts of the Rukon District.

That's not much to go off of.

Oh, what are you two doing? It's quite unusual to see you two together.

Captain Kyoraku, I could ask you the same thing. What are you doing in a place like this?

As you can see, I'm enjoying a drink all by my lonesome self.

Captain, I don't believe you're off duty today.

Sorry, sorry, I was only joking. I was over at that dessert café because of a request I received.

I see.

And? What are you two doing?

The Women's Soul Reaper Association is planning a fireworks festival and we're looking for a pyrotechnician.

Captain, do you know of anyone? I heard there may be someone in the Rukon District.

I see.

I do know of someone, but if you're going to go ask them for a favor, you should probably bring him with you.

Bring who?

Hanataro Yamada from Squad 4.

Huh? Seventh Seat Yamada?!

Then, we need to return to the barracks.

Thank you very much, Captain. Please return to the squad as soon as you're done here!

You've got it. I'll be looking forward to the fireworks.
