Chapter 6

Captain Ukitake, here is my new report.

Also, in order to showcase the various traditions involved that I couldn't fit in my report today, I have prepared a small event of my own.

Is that so! I'm looking forward to it.

And to those of you who have gathered here to join us, I hope you enjoy yourselves as well!

Let's start off by watching the magnificent dragon dance.

I also made a dragon that looks like Chappy!

You did an excellent job.

Thank you very much!

Please take over for the next part, Lieutenant Matsumoto.

Okaaay! I've got a bunch of pork dumplings ready. Don't be shy, everyone! Eat as much as you like!

Uh-oh.

Why are they so red?

Didn't you know, Captain? Red is a lucky color during the Lunar New Year!

I asked Orihime about it. It was tough to get all the ingredients together!

Are they safe to eat?

Oh, quiet, you! Quit fussing and just have some already!

Don't they? Try some, Captain Ukitake!

Sure, it'd be my pleasure.

So, how was my report this time?

Both the report and the event were wonderful. I learned many things. But the best thing was that everyone here really enjoyed themselves.

You did a great job.

Thank you, sir!

Aw, you got praised by Captain Ukitake! I'm so jealous.

Captain! Next time, I'd like to be the one to investigate this-and-that in the world of the living!

No fair, Sentaro! I mean, I'd also love to help out the captain!

Hey, now. You know that I'd worry if you two went to the world of the living.

C'mon, Captaaain!

I promise we'll never, ever leave your side!
