3-3 Let's Have a Barbeque!

Ahh, such a relief that's over. Phew! You know, if that girl were a little more open and friendly, she might even be cute.

But boy, that Rangiku. She's...

Just let me handle this. Pretty please?

Oh, oh, oh... Rangiku...

What about me, Kon?

What?! Rangiku!

But! Rangiku, why are you...? Where's Nozomi?

What's that? What do you mean? I haven't seen her.

What?

Oh!

Damn it! This is all my fault! I let her out of my sight!

It's a vital assignment. We need you.

............

Let me go! I said, let me go!

Now, then. We'll talk more on the other side.

Hm!

Foolish girl! Now you've done it!

Stop, you imposter! Damn you!

I'm sorry I took so long!

Imposter, huh? I'm no imposter! From here on out, we're gonna be the real ones!

Gah!!!

Are you...?

Nozomi, hurry... Get outta here.

I'll defeat the imposter. No problem!

You fool. You can't stop her.

Nozomi, I'm so sorry I left you alone like that.

You're sorry?

Hrrrr-yaaaahhhh!!!

Gh!

Well, that was weak.

Now, then. Shall we go, Nozomi?

No, stop!

............

Ichigo!

Don't move. It's time to give it up, you imposter!

Hmm? So this is my imposter, huh? She's quite a good-looking woman, but no match for the original.

Growl, Haineko!

Damn it, she got away.

............

Nozomi! I'm glad you're okay!

Of course, it was all thanks to my awesome and timely assistance. Where's the thanks?! Hahahahaha!

Ow! Hey!

What are you talking about? This all started 'cause you took your eyes off of her in the first place.

What made you think it was a good idea to leave her? Wasn't Rukia clear enough?

Well, I... It's just that... I, uh...

Perverts.

Hey, Ichigo. You too, Nozomi. The food is all ready!

Here, I'll bring it over to them for you!

That Kon. Look, don't worry about it, Nozomi. From here on, we'll protect you.

Are all of you really this stupid?

Yeah, maybe.

Nozomi, have a shish kebab. It's tasty!

Come on, try it!
