Chapter 6

Here you go, Rukia.

Is this the lobster from the contest prizes?! You won?!

Of course. I thought it would be best if we grilled it. I wanted you to have some, too.

But you're the one who won this. I couldn't possibly...

I cannot eat it all on my own.

Let me at least do something to say thank you!

How about making a sand sculpture after we eat? I'd like to try creating something out of that flash of inspiration I had while surfing earlier.

Oh, sure! I'll do my best to help!

Geez, look at them both beating around the bush.

At least they're getting to know each other better.

Man, today was a pretty busy da--

You cold-hearted bastaaard!!!

Gah! What the hell, Kon?!

How could you leave me behind?! This was my shot at a summer fling with Rukia, filled with chitchat and darling giggles!

I should be the one saying "What the hell?!"

When are you going to snap out of this daydream of yours? There's no way any of that chitchat or giggling is ever gonna happen.

Shut up! A real man never gives up on his dreams of love!

You're the one who needs to shut up. Look, I got you a souvenir and everything.

Wow, really?! Wait, what is it?

It's an Ambassador Seaweed cell phone strap. From your beloved Rukia, no less.

But I don't want this Seaweed thingy! I wanted to hold on to Rukia nice and tight! Wahhh!
