Memories of Nobody, 2-3

Thanks! It looks great!

You could've saved us both a lot of time. If you said you were treating, I'd have answered right away.

So let me get this straight. You don't have any money?

Okay, what do you know about them?

Who are you talking about?

I just explained it to you.

The Blanks and the Shinenju, remember? You need to tell me everything you know.

I would if I could. It's the first I've heard of them.

*Sigh*

So someone's using those pointy hat things to try and find this, uh... This, Shinen-amabob?

Shinenju.

Right. They're using them to find it?

So, who is this someone?

That's what we're trying to figure out.

And then what will you do?

I'm not quite sure.

Have you got any idea what this Shinen-thingy looks like?

Not a clue.

You're not making this easy.

Well, it sounds to me like you're just gonna have to wait for those pointy-hat guys to show up again.

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

You know what? I'm gonna help you out!

There's just one condition.

I knew it...

First, we gotta do that! Take me for a ride on that and I'll help you with whatever you want.

Just what is it with you and heights?

I dunno. I like it when I'm way up high. All the things that seem confusing or messed up suddenly become clear.

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

Hey, that ribbon.

Oh, you noticed!

The red looks better than the yellow, don't you think?

Yeah, but how'd you get it with no money?

I wandered into some shop to look at stuff and tried this on to see if I liked it.

I guess I must've forgot I had it on. It happens all the time.

Not when I'm around.

Thank you very much!

Here, take it.

I can't believe you actually did that. You're so uptight.

I hate that kind of thing. Just take it and shut up.

Thanks so much, Ichigo.

Now, the Ferris wheel!

Yeah, right. Forget about it.

Meanie!

We high schoolers aren't exactly made out of money, you know.

Hmph!

Hey!

I'm going to the restroom. Is that all right with you?

Hehe. He's not a bad guy once you get to know him.

Sweet! All right!
