1-5 The Lost Agent

Hey, Ichigo! Guess what?!

Check it out! It's the very first test I took this year! And I scored 95% on it! Aren't I awesome?!

That is awesome! Way to go! You should go and show Dad. He'll be thrilled!

Speaking of Dad, do you know where he is?

I dunno. When I woke up this morning, he was gone and he hasn't come back.

Oh, yeah? Well, I'm gonna go relax in my room.

Where'd that old man go?

If I still had my Soul Reaper powers right now, I could trace his Spiritual Pressure.

Ah...!

Guess I still haven't gotten past it yet.

Ichigoooo! Hey, Ichigo!

Huh?

Wanna have some tasty bread? I've got plenty to share!

So hey, we can't eat this much bread.

Oh... Are you sure?

Only four of us live here and that's a ton of bread.

I mean, I'll take some of it since you're offering.

Hey, uh, why are you fidgeting so much?

I-It's just... Uh, I wasn't expecting that you would invite me up to your room.

Well, it's not like this is the first time you've been up here, so what gives?

You better take some of the bread home with you. I mean, your boss was nice enough to give you these odds and ends, right?

They're not odds and ends! They're unsold bread!

It's the same thing.

Not the way you say it!

So, hey. I'm wondering... Has anything happened to you recently?

Not really. Why would you ask me something like that?

Well, I just had...this feeling.

It's just that, how should I say this?

I guess I'm concerned you might be in trouble. Has anyone suspicious been following you?

What's that? Someone following me? I guess I'm usually in trouble of some kind. But being followed? That sounds more like your style.

Haha. No one's following me. Oh, well. I guess that feeling I had was all wrong.

Sorry to bother you. Guess I was imagining things and got concerned.

Hey, don't worry about it. You're just looking out for your friends. That's not a bad thing.

Oh, hey. Lemme give you back that manga I borrowed.

Oh, it's okay! There's no rush, really!
