Chapter 1

Oh? Are you going somewhere, Nanao?

Yes. Captain Soi Fon asked to see me, so I'm visiting Squad 2.

Soi Fon, huh? That's a surprise. Well, take care, then.

Thank you. However, please do not drag your feet just because I am not around, Captain.

Yeah, yeah, I know.

I'm here, Captain Soi Fon. Oh, pardon me, Shuhei. I didn't realize you were here as well.

Oh, yeah. I was actually the one that recommended Captain Soi Fon contact you.

What for?

Allow me to explain. I need your help, Nanao. There's a new product that I absolutely need.

Um, sure? But, why me?

The next Seireitei Bulletin is actually short a few pages. I was trying to think of a solution when--

He was muttering in the middle of the street, which I found very annoying, so I called out to him. I ended up telling him about my predicament then.

We were discussing how I would go about obtaining that product, and he said that it could be good material for your column, Nanao.

Soi Fon gets what she wants, I get the pages I need for the Bulletin, and you get new material for your column! It's a great plan!

I call it "Seireitei Bulletin: Out and About!" I think it's got a lot of potential!

Please, help us save the Seireitei Bulletin!

So that's why you picked me? Though I must admit, it certainly will be easier to get this product you want if there are multiple people helping you.

Exactly, but I can't use my subordinates for personal matters. Your column is all about helping readers in need, right?

Please, Nanao!

All right, then.

Thanks a bunch! We owe you one!

Thank you.
