Chapter 4

There you are!

We heard that you were hosting some kind of get-together, so we came down to join.

You've come at just the right time. Would you like some of the tea that Rukia brewed?

I wouldn't say no to some tea, but I've really come for the booze.

Hey now, we're all here together, why not drink some tea? We'll save the harder stuff for dessert.

Rukia, would you make another two cups?

Of course.

Huh? There's no booze left...

What?! You drink too much, Captain Kyoraku!

Hey, don't put all the blame on me. From where I'm sitting it looks like you've had your fair share too.

I know! Why don't we make Shuhei or Izuru bring us a refill?

Rangiku, what are you doing here? Besides avoiding work.

Uh... Captain! When did you get here?

Don't make the lives of other squads as hard as you make mine!

We're leaving.

Captain, why don't we do a little get-together for our squad?

If you stop loafing about and do your actual job for once, I might consider it.

Really?! Yay! That's a promise, right?

Oh, Shunsui. Nanao said that if I see you, I should tell you to head back too.

She's seen right through me, huh. Well, I guess it's time for me to head on home, too.

Take care.

Hnnn...

Captain Ukitake...?

Are you two awake now?

You mean I was asleep?!

Me too?! What happened to the party?

We were just thinking that it might be time to call it quits.

But before that, would you two like some tea?

Thanks, Rukia.

It's so good.

When you're done, it's time to clean up. Together.
