Chapter 3

So you guys haven't seen it either, huh...

Sorry we couldn't be of any help.

I guess I only have one choice left, then!

Huh...? What choice?

Apologies for keeping you waiting.

Nemu?! What are you doing here?

Master Mayuri has developed a shiny, round candy that can be worn as an accessory.

Thanks, Nemnem! This'll do the trick.

Uh... You know that won't work, right?

Master Mayuri's work is flawless. Of course it will work.

Hey, check it out! I found it!

Huh?! Um...

I'm afraid that's not it, Lieutenant Kusajishi!

Huh?

We found the earring and gave it back to Hidetomo a moment ago.

Whaaat? Really?

I'm sorry. I know you were just trying to help us.

Don't worry about it! I had fun! So, I get to eat this then, right?

Alrighty, I'm going now! Bye-bye!

(I guess leadership positions really do attract strange people...)

(I wonder if Ikkaku has to deal with this sort of thing often. I should be extra nice to him the next time we meet.)
