Chapter 6

So, that seasoning was something you specially prepared for me, Lady Yoruichi?

That's right.

Oh, I can't believe this! You are so considerate! I am so grateful!

I feel bad that your subordinate accidentally ate it, though. My apologies.

It's not your fault! Marechiyo's the fool for eating something that was sent to me without my permission!

Just forget about that blockhead.

H-Hold on a second! That seasoning was made for cat consumption, so...

...we should consult with Captain Kurotsuchi to make sure it won't kill Lieutenant Omaeda!

Oh, yeah. Go ahead and take Marechiyo along, if you want.

Where'd all your anger from earlier go?!

Anyway, Shuhei's already on his way to Squad 12, so let's get Lieutenant Omaeda looked at as soon as possible!

Sorry to keep you waiting, Shuhei. Where is Captain Kurotsuchi?

Well, uh...

Master Mayuri is currently in the middle of a very important experiment. Please leave.

You heard her.

Hey! I used all my strength to drag myself out here because I was told I'd be cured! Urgh, I feel sick again!

Hang in there!

Please, Nemu! Can't you at least tell us what's wrong with him?

It is merely indigestion.

What? Indigestion?!

Why are you surprised? You ate three bowls of rice with that seasoning, which was made to be sprinkled over cat food in small amounts.

B-But...

Will the seasoning have any long-term side effects?

Who can tell? Just know that you'll probably be stuck in the bathroom for two or three days.

What? I have to deal with this for another three days?!

That'll teach you to eat something addressed to me without my permission.

Aw, give him a break, Soi Fon.

Oh, Lady Yoruichi! You are so kind!

So, our special article will end up being about a lieutenant getting a stomachache after eating something weird? There's no way it'll get published.

Ugh, what should I do? I don't have any more material to meet the deadline. My stomach hurts just thinking about it!

Come on now, my columns are always about not getting too carried away!
