translated by shiroro on quincyman.org


4th Division Lodge - Hanatarou's lost item

Hanatarou: It's not here, it's not here! It's not anywhere!!
Ichigo: What's wrong, Hanatarou?!
Hanatarou: I wonder where I put it
Ichigo: Did you lose something?!
Hanatarou: Oh what am I going to doooo??!!
Ichigo: Is it something important?!
Hanatarou: I wonder if I dropped it somewhere. . .
Ichigo: HAH! *WHACK*
Hanatarou: GAH!!
Ichigo: Listen to other people speak!!
Hanatarou: oh, Ichigo-san
Ichigo: Not Ichigo-san! I'm asking you what's wrong!!
Hanatarou: I didn't notice you
Ichigo: Notice me, damnit. And? What happened?
Hanatarou: Well, in the 4th division, to make the division members that are tired work like a horse on a carriage, there's a nurishment medicine that is distributed to everyone. But, I think I dropped it somewhere.
Ichigo: If it's distributed to everyone, why don't you get it again?
Hanatarou: I can't. Mine was made by Unohana taichou that my senpai asked especially and so it's a special one.
Ichigo: Uh huh?
Hanatarou: It even has a cool skull mark on it and it's three times more powerful than the normal ones.
Ichigo: You serious?
Hanatarou: I'm going to go look for it now. Umm, first. . .
Ichigo: Alright, where do you want to search first?
Hanatarou: Ehhh?! You're coming too, Ichigo-san?!
Ichigo: I'm bored anyway.
Hanatarou: Umm, but within the seireitei, there are many places where we can't show to outsiders. And having you who's a drifer (ryoka O_o how do translators translate that?) is a little. . .
Ichigo: Quit saying things like a hard head
Hanatarou: Alright. . . well, please try not to be so attention catching.
Ichigo: ok ok, let's go.
Hanatarou: Oh wait! Ichigo-san, your zanpakutou stands out so let's leave it here.
Ichigo: Eh?
Hanatarou: Then no one will notice who you are.
Ichigo: You serious?!

Central 46 rooms entrance at the guard room - The 11th division's bet

Ichigo: What's this place?
Hanatarou: To not allow non-associates enter the central 46 rooms, each division take turns in patroling. And this is the guardroom.
Ichigo: I see. . .
Hanatarou: This week should be the 11th division.
Ichigo: Oh, them. . . Can the fighting dorks properly do patrolling?
Hanatarou: Oh look, the captain is there too today.
Ichigo: Let's see. . .
Yachiru: Here, it's your turn Ken-chan!
Zaraki: Ok, this one.
Yachiru: Yay~! You got it! You got the joker!
Zaraki: Tch, oh well.
Ichigo: What the. . . they're totally slacking off!
Zaraki: Next, draw it!
Ikkaku: Draw? What's up with this suspicious card sticking up so purposfully, taichou?
Zaraki: Just hurry up and draw!!
Ikkaku: Ok ok. So, this one!!!
Zaraki: Damn, you won't be tricked.
Ikkaku: Normally, people won't be tricked like that. I'm not the vice-captain.
Yachiru: Shut up, bald lightbulb! *SMACK*
Yumichika: Quit acting like an idiot and take out your cards. It's my turn next.
Yachiru: Yeah yeah, what the shroomie-narci-chan said. (shroomie= mushroom haired, narci- narcisstic)
Yumichika: Uhh, that name is a little. . .
Ikkaku: It's a nice name, Yumichika.
Yumichika: Shut up! Quit saying extra things and let me draw.
Ikkaku: Here.
Yumichika: All is set. Now I only have one card left. Once the vice-captain draws my card, I'm done.
Yachiru: Okay~ Well, I'll take that last card and. . . I'm done!!
Zaraki: So only me and Ikkaku is left. So, draw.
Ikkaku: Well then. Without hesitation!! AND I'M DONE!!!
Yachiru: Yay~ Ken-chan lost again!
Ikkaku: Yay! Taichou, you're so weak!
Yumichika: That'll make your 70th loss in a row.
Yachiru: Ken-chan you're so weaaaak~
Zaraki: SHUT UP! Don't talk extra crap about matches! Do it in a better manner, damnit!!
Ikkaku: That's crazy.
Yumichika: Yeah, it's not some battle. . .
Zaraki: What did you say?!
Ichigo: I think there's a very bad aura spreading.
Hanatarou: Let's go ask if they saw what I lost.
Ichigo: Wait, no! Don't go! Can't you sense the situation spreading now?!
Hanatarou: Umm, excuse me~
Ikkaku: What the hell?!
Hanatarou: I came here to search for what I lost.
Zaraki: get lost!
Hanatarou: It's a nurishment medicine that has a cool skull mark on it.
Zaraki: If you really want to see skulls that much, want me to drag it out of your body?!
Hanatarou: Huh? *muffle muffle*
Ichigo: IT'S NOTHING!! EXCUSE ME!!
Ikkaku: Huh? Wasn't that Ichigo?
Zaraki: Whatever. I'm going to play till I win!
Yachiru: Okay~ Well, let's go on!!

(*note*- Zaraki n'crew were playing a game called baba-nuki in Japanese. It's like go fish where you draw and toss the same numbered cards till the last person is left with the joker and that's who loses)

6th Division Guard room - Byakuya and Renji's controvercy

Ichigo: Say, what were you doing yesterday?
Hanatarou: I was out distributing medicine to each division.
Ichigo: So, that means you have to go to every division till you find it?
Hanatarou: I didn't go to every single division so it shouldn't take long. This is the guardroom for the 6th division.
Ichigo: Oh, it's Renji's place. It feels uncomfortable going in.
Hanatarou: Don't worry about it. Excuse me~
Renji: Kuchiki-taichou. . .
Byakuya: What do you plan to do, Renji?
Renji: I will do what I believe in.
Byakuya: You may not.
Renji: I will!
Byakuya: Why is that?
Renji: Whatever it may be, you can't let me pass?
Byakuya: I won't say it twice.
Renji: It's not convicing enough! It's not like you, taichou! Getting tricked like this in this sort of manner! I understand what you are trying to say logically in my mind, but that's not enough! You can't stop me!
Byakuya: You're very verbose. What makes you so tense?
Renji: No, just this. . . even if it's going against you, taichou, I can't give in. If anything, will you look at my true skills?
Byakuya: Have you. . .
Ichigo: Wait a sec!! What happened, Renji?! Byakuya? I don't know what happened, but talk about it calmly. What's the point of you two battling here?!
Renji: What the hell are you saying, idiot?
Ichigo: Eh? Well, I heard you two arguing from outside so. . .
Renji: Arguing? What are you talking about? I was explaining to taichou about which catering service we'll choose to bring to the division drills.
Ichigo: Eh? But you were saying something about showing your true skills or not. . .
Renji: That was about whether we'll order samples and taste it.
Ichigo: You guys. . . quit talking in a confusing way!
Renji: Shut up! What are you doing here anyway?!
Hanatarou: I came here to find what I lost. It's a nurishment medicine that has a cool skull mark on it.
Byakuya: A cool skull. . .
Ichigo: You react to that part?
Renji: It wasn't in what was delivered here yesterday. More like, there wasn't enough medicine to stop the blood.
Hanatarou: Oh, I'm sorry! Then I'll leave some new ones here. It's a blood stopping medicine that was newly made and it works really well.
Renji: Oh? It's that great?
Hanatarou: Yes it is!
Byakuya: Then shall we try how well it works using you. Don't move from that spot.
Hanatarou: Eh?
Ichigo: Haha You're being teased, Hanatarou. Quit saying such harsh jokes, Byakuya.
Hanatarou: Oh, it's a joke?
Ichigo: Well, it seems like it's not around here so let's go to the next place.
Hanatarou: I'm sorry for disturbing you.
Ichigo: See ya!
Renji: Taichou, was that really a joke?
Byakuya: What are you saying?
Renji: I knew it. . . they saved their life right there.

The Cafeteria of the Seireitei - Carried away by Taichou Ranks

Hanatarou: Next is the cafeteria
Ichigo: Those with spiritual energy get hungry so there's got to be a cafeteria. What do shinigami eat anyway?
Hanatarou: Normal stuff. It looks like broiled fish is today's special.
Ichigo: Other stuff are like Natto (fermented beans) set, sweet potato stew, mackerel with miso (soy paste). . . it's almost like a meal at a store in town. . . . hey, there's a person piling up dishes like in a manga over there.
Hanatarou: Oh, that's Soi Fong-sama. When you reach the rank of a taichou, I think in proportion to their spiritual energy they get hungry more
Ichigo: How does all that fit in that body?! More like. . . I think she ate more than what she weighs!
Hanatarou: Probably fast metabolism.
Ichigo: You serious?
Hanatarou: Well, I'll go search over there.
Oomaeda: Taichou, I think you ate too much.
Soi: You don't know when a battle is going to start so eat while you can. That is a warrior. Oomaeda, is that enough for you?
Oomaeda: I don't eat much.
Soi: What part of you doesn't eat much. You ate so many bags of fried rice cakes before. Since you snack so much, you can't eat a normal meal.
Oomaeda: It's fine~ My mommy said that if I'm hungry, I'll do bad in my missions so she prepares a lot of snacks for me.
Soi: Eating stuff like that will make you do bad in missions. Take all three meals in a day as an importance.
Oomaeda: Alright. . . I understand. But, taichou. . . there's so little things here that actually meet with my tastes. I only came here today since I was asked to go by you. If not, I would've had my first class chef we have at our house make a classy dinner for me.
Soi: Stop being selfish! *WHACK*
Oomaeda: Ow! Not even daddy hit me!!!
Ichigo: Moron.
Yoruichi: Hey, Ichigo.
Ichigo: Yoruichi-san!
Yoruichi: What are you doing here?
Ichigo: Just visiting.
Soi: Yoruichi-sama!
Yoruichi: Oh, Soi Fong!
Soi: Here for a dinner? Do you mind if I accompany you? I will make them prepare a seat for you here.
Yoruichi: Is that so? Ok, Ichigo, you come too!
Soi: Him too?
Yoruichi: Don't treat him badly.
Soi: If you say so, Yoruichi-sama. You, be thankful to Yoruichi-sama!
Yoruichi: Well, what should I eat. . . first, dumplings. . . fried liver and leek, fried vegitables and meat, fried chicken, spring rolls, mackerel with miso, hamburger, fried pork, sashimi, instead of miso-soup, some stew and ramen.
Ichigo: You plan to order more?
Yoruichi: Make that for 10 people and rice in 15 boxes
Soi: How amazing, Yoruichi-sama. Impressive eating habits!
Yoruichi: The same for you is good too, right, Ichigo?
Ichigo: Yes. Wait, I can't eat that much!!
Soi: You! Do you plan to waste Yoruichi-sama's kindness?!
Yoruichi: It's fine, it's fine. People have differences. For now, make all of what I ordered to 5 people's worth.
Soi: Yoruichi-sama, how kind of you.
Ichigo: Keep my rice bowl a normal size.


10th Division Lodge - At the anteroom

Ichigo: Where are we . . . *burp* going next?
Hanatarou: To the 10th division lodge.
Ichigo: Uh huh. . . . sorry, can you walk a little slower?
Hanatarou: You ate too much. . .
Ichigo: Yeah. . . blah I feel sick.
Hanatarou: Lodges are separated by divisions and each one has work rooms, training rooms, conference rooms, and even resting rooms and this is the division's anteroom. Excuse me~
Ichigo + Hanatarou: Wahhh!!
Rangiku: What are you doing? If you don't open it carefully, it'll crash!
Hanatarou: I'm sorry
Ichigo: Woah! What a dirty room! There're empty snack bags left on the floor!
Rangiku: What do you want?
Hanatarou: Um, yes. Yesterday, when I was delivering to each division, I think I dropped my nurishment medicine somewhere and so I'm here to search for it.
Rangiku: Hmm, I wonder if it was around. Sure, you can go ahead and search here if you want.
Hanatarou: Thank you!
Ichigo: We're going to search from here? More like, where are we supposed to walk?!
Rangiku: How rude. Here's a path for people to walk right here.
Ichigo: You mean, a beast's path?
Rangiku: Oh, and can you give me that magazine over there?
Hanatarou: Umm here. Is it this one?
Rangiku: And can you throw this away too?
Ichigo: Fine fine.
Rangiku: Sorry~ can you put this back in the shelf too?
Ichigo: Ah? Wait, we aren't here to do your chores!
Rangiku: Oh who cares~ It's just a little extra work.
Ichigo: It's not good! More like, you haven't moved from that spot and all you do is make us do your work.
Rangiku: Well, that's that. . .
Ichigo: What's what?
Hinamori: Rangiku-san, I brought your papers.
Rangiku: Thank you, Hinamori-fuku-taichou.
Hinamori: Wah! What is up with this room?!
Rangiku: I trashed it a bit.
Hinamori: It's not a little bit! If Shiro-cha-- I mean, if Hitsugaya-kun comes back, you'll get in trouble again.
Rangiku: I'll clean it up by then.
Hitsugaya: I'm back already
Hinamori: Wah!
Rangiku: Oh, taichou, what a fast return.
Hinamori: Hitsugaya-kun, when you come back, you say "I'm back", right?
Hitsugaya: Not -kun! It's Hitsugaya TAICHOU!
Rangiku: Taichou, good work on your mission. Well, I shall go and prepare a report over there
Hitsugaya: Matsumoto. . .
Rangiku: Yes?
Hitsugaya: I have something to speak to you about
Rangiku: That can be done after I finish making the report.
Hitsugaya: This is the anteroom for ALL the people in the division and it's not your room only!! And not only that, you tend to go to places during work, nor do you return things you used, and do you even have any awareness of your position as a vice-captain?!
Hinamori: You don't have to yell like that. . .
Rangiku: Yes, that's right~ Let's hurry up and clean, taichou!
Hitsugaya: You shouldn't be talking!!!
Rangiku: You guys, carry off all the stuff there over there.
Hanatarou: Ok, I understand. . .
Ichigo: Ehhh?!!!
Hitsugaya: She doesn't seem like she's listening at all. . .
Ichigo: Why the hell am I cleaning too?
Hanatarou: It's just a little extra work while searching
Ichigo: geez. Hmm? Is it this?
Hanatarou: Which one? Ohh this one isn't it. This is just a normal nurishment pill. Mine has a skull mark on it and it's specially made.
Ichigo: Oh, it's a fake.
Hanatarou: It looks like it's not here either.
Ichigo: Hey, what about inside this closet? WAHH! It's an avalanche of garbage!! RUN!!!
Hitsugaya: MATSUMOTO! I'm going to cut your pay!!

seireitei big hot springs story - part 1 - before bathing

Ichigo: Ugh that was a bad experience! My entire body smells like garbage!
Hanatarou: next is the large bath of the seireitei, it's going to be the seireitei big hot springs story. Let's take a bath.
Ichigo: It sounds like a name that I heard somewhere.
Hanatarou: This hot springs was made for injured shinigamis and it has water that heals wounds.
Ichigo: in the basement of the soukyoku to do training that Urahara-san made had a spring that healed wounds too
Hanatarou: Oh, he secretly drew some of it from here. There was one point where there wasn't enough water.
Ichigo: That's a crime. . .

seireitei big hot springs story - part 2 - the relaxation room

Shunsui: This isn't good. There's more fat on my body. . . but then my weight didn't change much. What do you think, Nanao-chan?
Nanao: You drink too much alcohol. I suggest you to restrain a bit.
Shunsui: Ahh giving me such a harsh attitude. But knowing you worry about my body that much makes me so happy~
Nanao: This is just a duty as a vice captain.
Shunsui: Oh come on~
Ukitake: Shunsui. . . you should be careful of your body. There's no need to ruin your healthy body with useless things.
Shunsui: Ukitake~ you ok? Goodness, getting dizzy in the hot water like that.
Nanao: Here's some water.
Ukitake: Thank you.
Shunsui: Oh! I suddenly feel dizzy~ I think I was in the hot water too long as well. Nanao-chan, please give me water too~
Nanao: You don't have to do that suddenly, since I have a glass for you prepared as well!
Shunsui: That's my Nanao-chan! How kind of you~
Nanao: Who's YOUR Nanao-chan?! *THWAP*
Shunsui: Oh that hurt! Quit it~
Ukitake: I never get bored watching you two.
Shunsui: If you're jealous, I suggest you to get a pretty vice captain as well.
Ichigo: What the hell are those old guys doing?
Hanatarou: It looks like they're measuring their fat.
Ichigo: The fat of a shinigami. . .
Hanatarou: Even shinigami's bodies are important as well. Everyone is careful about their health.
Ichigo: More like. . . my image of a healthy shinigami is a little different too. . .

seireitei big hot springs story - part 3 - thinking it was a private tub

Hanatarou: This is the big bath. Looks like no one is in yet.
Ichigo: It's our own then.
Hanatarou: I don't think we can stay here long. . . Oh, Abarai-fuku-taichou!
Renji: Ah what? You two were still loitering around here?
Ichigo: What? Is it bad that we're here? And what about you? Don't you still have work? Quit slacking off!
Renji: Today was my early shift! I'm not like you who is bored all year long!
Ichigo: What the hell?! Quit talking with attitude with a nasty loincloth on!
Renji: What the hell?! I thought about taking a nice bath and it just turned horrible!
Ichigo: It's horrible for me too!
Hanatarou: Come on, you two! Calm down! It's a nice naked relationship, let's relax!
Ichigo: That's enough! I'll come back later to take a bath.
Renji: Yeah, hurry up and go somewhere!
Ichigo: Humph!
Hanatarou: Ichigo-san~!
Ichigo: Hm? It seems like someone is coming.
Rangiku: Ahh I'm so tired. Taichou's lectures are so long.
Hinamori: But I think that was your fault, Rangiku-san.
Rangiku: I'll be more careful from next time.
Isane: That's very much like you, Rangiku-san.
Rangiku: You're lucky your captain is very calm
Kiyone: Even Ukitake taichou is a really great taichou too!
Isane: Kiyone, the 13th division doesn't have a vice captain yet?
Kiyone: It's fine since I'm supporting the Captain!
Isane: Isn't the other 3rd seat also helping you support the captain too?
Kiyone: No! That funny beard is bad!
Ichigo: What what what? Why are women here?!
Hanatarou: Ah, I think this side was the women's side today. It changes every day.
Renji: WHAT?!
Ichigo: Why didn't you notice?!
Renji: Shut up!! You too!
Hanatarou: Come on. . . calm down.
Ichigo: How can we calm down? Uhh, where's the escape route?!
Hanatarou: There's none.
Ichigo: None?!
Renji: Crap! They're coming in!!
Ichigo: What will we do?!
Hinamori: Wow, that's a lot of steam.
Rangiku: Well, let's go in. Ahh, it feels so good.
Hinamori: It's so soothing.
Hanatarou: It was good that this was a rocky tub. They shouldn't be able to see us hiding behind the rocks.
Renji: I thought I was going to die.
Ichigo: Hey, let's escape hiding in the steam
Hinamori: Rangiku-san, your chest is so big.
Rangiku: Well, sort of.
Hinamori: I envy you a lot.
Kiyone: Tada~ Actually my big sister is a hides her big chest too~
Isane: Stop that, Kiyone!
Rangiku: Oh wow. You can't tell with your clothes on.
Isane: Please don't stare so much.
Kiyone: My big sister wraps her chest up and she hides the fact that it's big.
Hinamori: You don't have to hide it.
Isane: It's not like. . . I'm trying to hide it.
Rangiku: It's all about how you wear your clothes. If you want me to, I can lend you my shihakushou (the shinigami outfit)
Isane: Oh no, it's okay.
Ichigo: What the hell are they talking about? What the? Renji! You're nosebleeding!
Renji: No I'm not!
Hanatarou: Are you alright?! I'll cure you-- woaaah!
Hinamori: Huh? What's that sound?
All: Eh?
Rangiku: Is someone there?
Hinamori: Should I go and look?
Rangiku: Oh, it's the sound of the pails collapsing.
Hinamori: The floor is wet from the hot water. Everyone please be careful when walking so you won't slip.
Hanatarou(?): Okay~
Ichigo: That was close. . . How did you do that, Renji?
Renji: In the trashcan, there was a ball with a skull mark on it and I chucked it at the pails to make it fall!
Ichigo: GOOD JOB!
Hanatarou: Hey, isn't that the nurishment pill I was looking for? Ahh so it was here. . .
Ichigo: Give it up. If it's washed away in the hot water, no evidences will be left. It's too dangerous to go pick it up
Hanatarou: But, since senpai especially asked Unohana-taichou to make it for me. . .
Ichigo: Ask her to make it again!
Renji: What are you talking about?! No one is looking this way. I'm going ahead of you!
*check check check* Phew. That was close.
Nanao: Excuse me, mind if I accompany you?
Renji: GEH! The 8th division. . .
Nanao: Abarai-- AHHH!!!!
Rangiku: What happened?!
Hinamori: Ahh! Abarai-kun!!
Renji: No! This is a misunderstanding!!!
Rangiku: It doesn't matter! YOU PERVERT!!
Renji: AHHHHH!!!!

seireitei big hot springs story - part 4 - Chatting with the head Captain

Ichigo: Forgive me, Renji. I will not waste your sacrifices.
Hanatarou: It's good that we were able to sneak out in the mess that Abarai fuku-taichou caused.
Ichigo: Yeah. Well, I wasn't able to go into the hot water so my body is all cold now.
Hanatarou: This time it's the men's tub so we can relax. And. . . I lost my purpose anyway. . . We have all the time we want
Ichigo: Agh! Don't cry! It's too bad that happened. Have them make a new one for you again.
Hanatarou: Oh, Hitsugaya-taichou!
Hitsugaya: What?
Hanatarou: Yes, I was guiding Ichigo-san around the seireitei. So I figured I'll have him use the facility here.
Hitsugaya: You're going in now?
Hanatarou: Yes.
Hitsugaya: I see. Well, be careful you won't pass out.
Hanatarou: Thank you for your concern.
Ichigo: Is it that hot?
Hitsugaya: You'll see when you go in.
Hanatarou: Both the men and women's side have the same water so the temperature is the same. We don't use boiled water or powdered hot springs here.
Ichigo: Which place are you talking about?! (shiro note- there's been a few issues in Japan where they discovered that a few hot springs were fake)
Yamamoto: Who is that?!
Hanatarou: Wahhh! Head captain Yamamoto Genryuusai Shigekuni!!!
Ichigo: Eh? Who is it? An imporant person?
Yamamoto: What are you doing?
Hanatarou: We. . . we'll come back again!
Yamamoto: It's alright. The tub is where all is shown, a place where communication of the nude is done. Come here into the water.
Hanatarou: Y--yes.
Yamamoto: I want to listen to some stories from lower ranking members sometime. When you do something like a head captain, you end up only speaking with taichou ranked people.
Hanatarou: well. . . well then. . . I will accept your kind words. . .
Ichigo: Woah! You have an impressive body, old man!
Hanatarou: Ichigo-san!!
Yamamoto: It's fine.
Ichigo: How old are you this year?
Yamamoto: I don't know. I have forgotten it by now.
Ichigo: Oh.
Yamamoto: Is there anything else you would like to ask me?
Ichigo: Um. . . your beard. . . crap, I can't continue speaking. . .
Hanatarou: Uh. . . uh, it's a very nice temperate water, isn't it!!
Ichigo: Really? I think it's a little luke warm. . .
Yamamoto: Oh. Is it luke warm?
Ichigo: Oh, it's no problem!
Yamamoto: Don't be hesitant! I'll make it warmer for you. Here I go! Banshou Issai Kaijin to Nase! Ryuujin jyakka!
(*note*- it's the incantation to release his zanpakutou. . . .)
Ichigo + Hanatarou: AHHHH!!!
Yamamoto: Hot water should be around this temperature or else I don't feel like I've bathed. . .
Hanatarou: After being pulled out from the hot springs that was like lava, due to Renji's testimony, we were caught being in the women's tub and was nearly killed by the female shinigamis. My nurishment pill was just a prank that my senpai pulled and it was only a ball made of flour, that was revealed the next day. And it results with what was all that trouble for?
Ichigo: I swear I'll NEVER come to SOUL SOCIETY AGAIN!!! NEVER!! NEVEEERRR!!!

Drama CD 3: The Night Before the Confusion

5th Division Lodge - Training Facilities

Aizen: So, is everyone gathered here, Hinamori-kun?
Hinamori: Abarai-kun-- I mean, Abarai fuku-taichou isn't present yet.
Aizen: Oh, that is no problem. He has seen it several times back when he was in the 5th Division. As long as the people who haven't seen the powers of my zanpakutou are here, that is fine.
Hinamori: Why are you holding an explanation meeting such as this?
Aizen: My zanpakutou, Kyoukasuigetsu is a flowing water type zanpakutou and using the mist and water currents to create diffused reflections and allows the enemies to get confused and result in attacking each other. But with one mistake, it has the danger of involving your own allies as well. That is why I am taking this opportunity now to show my ability around.
Ikkaku: Why bother about something like that during battle?
Yumichika: I agree. Getting involved in your own ally's attacks and dying is their own fault.
Iba: Hold back those words, will you? Geez, you 11th Division members.
Hisagi: But Iba-san, you were part of the 11th Division as well. . .
Iba: What?!
Matsumoto: Cut it out you guys, we're in front of the taichou.
Izuru: That's right. Aizen taichou is taking his time for us like this. . .
Oomaeda: What a bunch of idiots
Hinamori: Everyone, please be quiet. It's going to start.
Aizen: Everyone, please stay back a little more.
Aizen: Shatter! Kyoukasuigetsu!
Matsumoto: What?
Isane: The mist. . . it's moving rapidly. . .
Aizen: Isane-kun, don't move.
Isane: Yes!
Ikkaku: This is. . .
Yumichika: Oh?
Matsumoto: You start to lose the sense of distance around you. . .
Hisagi: This room feels like an endless space
Isane: I can't sense any presenses. This is some ability. . .
Iba: What's that? There's another group of us!
Aizen: This is the illusion that Kyoukasuigetsu shows.
Ikkaku: We're surrounded?
Yumichika: Indeed, if you are in this situation unknowingly, you would start to panic.
Ikkaku: Stretch! Houzukimaru!
Iba: What the hell are you doing?!
Ikkaku: Oh, it was you, Iba-san! I was wondering what would happen if I attacked at this state, but the people who are here can dodge this, right?!
Iba: Are you an idiot?!
Aizen: I think this is good enough.
Ikkaku: The mist is clearing up
Isane: The illusions are disappearing
Oomaeda: The sense of distance is returning.
Hisagi: The presenses are returning too
Hinamori: Aizen-taichou thank you for the work.
Aizen: How was it?
Izuru: As always, it was impressive.
Aizen: When I actually use this power, I will try and signal the people around me. But during times of harsh battle, when you cannot let your eye off, remember your experience here today and be cautious.
Everyone: Yes.
Oomade: Uh huh
Ikkaku: Even if you tell us to be careful, this is pretty tough.
Yumichika: If you're involved, that is the end.
Hisagi: What a scary ability.
Gin: I was wondering what you were doing collecting everyone, but it's your usual explanation meeting?
Izuru: Ichimaru-taichou!
Aizen: It's been a while, Ichimaru. Would you like to listen to the explanation as well?
Gin: I shall pass. I've seen it many times and I'm pretty bored of it by now. And it's probably not common to have captain class members go to battle together anyway.
Aizen: Are you saying it is useless for me to collect other fuku-taichous from other divisions and holding an explanation meeting?
Gin: Oh, did I sound like I said that? I didn't say such a thing, though. But if you thought I said it like that, I will apologize.
Matsumoto: Ichimaru-taichou please hold your words.
Gin: Rangiku, you don't need to talk to me as if we don't know each other.
Rangiku: I cannot speak in a poor manner before a higher officer.
Gin: What? Don't look at me with such a scary expression. Looks like I'm intruding so, I will excuse myself. Izuru!
Izuru: Yes?!
Gin: You can get off for today.
Izuru: Yes.
Gin: Well, everyone, good bye.

The path leading to the 5th Division Lodge

Renji: I'm so late. Oh? Heey! Hinamori!
Matsumoto: We were waiting, you're so late!
Iba: Abarai, you're late!
Renji: I'm sorry, Iba-san
Hinamori: Abarai-kun, you're late. It already finished.
Renji: Aghh I thought so. I had a mission I couldn't get out of. Where's Aizen-san?
Izuru: He said he had something to do, so he left before.
Renji: So I couldn't meet Aizen-san again. After I left the 5th Division, I haven't seen him once.
Iba: Well, taichou, fuku-taichou jump all around Soul Society being all busy. It's really rare to have all this people together too.
Matsumoto: We're going to drinking now, but you're coming too, right?
Renji: Eh? Well, that's fine.
Oomaeda: I'm not going. I have the great food my mother made, waiting for me back home. It's impossible for a bar that I suddenly go to, to have food that will suit my taste.
Matsumoto: Uh huh, do as you wish
Oomaeda: See ya!
Isane: Umm, today I don't think I can. . .
Matsumoto: Isane, you better come! You can't always be unable to eat out without Kiyone. Hang out with us sometine by yourself!
Isane: . . . all right. . .
Matsumo: Well, let's go! Ikkaku and Yumichika went ahead and reserved the place.
Renji: Why are those two doing something like an errand boy?
Hinamori: Rangiku-san said those who are below third seat should listen to orders by fuku-taichous
Rangiku: Once the drinking starts, who cares of ranks! It's just now.

Soul Society Bar

Kyouraku: Hey~ Good work today, everyone!
Rangiku: And why are you here, Kyouraku-taichou?
Kyouraku: Since it's a drinking party! It'll be weird if I'm not attending. Even if I'm here, you can ignore ranks, so let's just forget about it and drink! Did you order yet?
Hisagi: Ah, then I'll gather it all.
Kyouraku: I'll leave it to you.
Isane: Then I want a rice set.
Matsumoto: Wha?
Isane: Eh?
Matsumoto: Isane, you come here to drink so why are you suddenly ordering a rice set?
Isane: But, I should eat before I drink, since that's better for the health. . .
Hinamori: Yes, that's right, Rangiku-san. It's deadly to have alcohol in an empty stomach.
Hisagi: Whatever, just hurry up and decide what you want.
Renji: Hey, the sake is here!
Hisagi: It's here already?
Ikkaku: All right! Let's go ahead and cheers!
Hisagi: But the orders. . .
Rangiku: Just order whatever!
Hisagi: Eh?
Kyouraku: CHEEERRRSS!
Everyone: Cheers!
Isane: Cheers. . .
Hisagi: Hey, wait a minute!
Ikkaku: So, Renji how is it being a fuku-taichou?
Renji: A lot of chores increased
Yumichika: That is the job of a fuku-taichou. Well, our fuku-taichou doesn't seem to do those kind of things.
Ikkaku: And? How does Kuchiki Byakuya seem after facing him once again?
Renji: He's big. . .
Ikkaku: I see.
Renji: Kuchiki Byakuya. . . the current master of the noble Kuchiki family that is said to be the strongest out of all in the family history. He's the most famous out of all the current taichous.
Ikkaku: But the strongest is our taichou, Zaraki Kenpachi. But then, Kuchiki-taichou seems very demonic as well.
Renji: I thought I got closer to him, but he's unbelievably far away still.
Ikkaku: You made a very bothersome goal.
Yumichika: Then will you simply give up?
Iba: What the hell are you saying?!
Yumichika: Tetsu-san! Don't intrude suddenly!
Iba: If you're a man, by having a high ambition is what it means to be. Abarai! If you can go, aim as high as you can!
Renji: Iba-san. . . Yeah, that's true.
Iba: Here, drink more.
Renji: Sure.
Hitsugaya: Matsumoto!
Rangiku: Taichou?! What's wrong? Oh, would you like to drink too?
Hitsugaya: I said we have an unfinished job still so I said to come back immediately after you finish
Rangiku: Oh whoops, is that so? Well, it was rare to have so many fuku-taichous gather like this so I was thinking of warming our relationship up. . .
Hitsugaya: Ma~Tsu~Mo~To~!!!
Hinamori: Shiro-chan! There are other customers here too, so don't shout like that! Come on, sit sit! I'll order an egg roll for you!
Hitsugaya: It's not Shiro-chan! It's Hitsugaya taichou!
Hinamori: Ahaha! Shiro-chan is mad!
Hitsugaya: Hinamori! You're. . . You're drunk aren't you?!
Hinamori: I'm not drunk~!
Isane: Oh, that drink has a high percentage of alcohol since I couldn't drink it.
Hinamori: Ahhh! Kira-kun~ Kira-kun~! What are you doing, sleeping?! Shiro-chan is here!
Hitsugaya: Kira. . . Kira, are you ok? Oh crap, his eyes are spinning. Someone, bring water!
Hisagi: Here, take this.
Histugaya: Thank you, Hisagi.
Rangiku: How pathetic you guys are. . .
Kyouraku: Don't try so hard~ There's something called your own pace.
Rangiku: Oh! Kyouraku-taichou! Your cup is empty! Here, let me pour it for you.
Kyouraku: Ah.
Rangiku: Oh this one is done. Someone order extras.
Hisagi: Oh, Rangiku-san I'll do it.
Kyouraku: Come on, 10th Division taichou-san, you shouldn't look that angry. Let's have fun together.
Nanao: Enjoy what?
Kyouraku: Oh? Isn't this my beloved Nanao-chan! When did you come?
Nanao: Just now. Come on, let's go back.
Rangiku: Nanao, why don't you join us?
Nanao: Rangiku-san, I always tell you to not make my taichou drink!
Kyouraku: Heeey, don't say something like 'don't feed the pets', Nanao-chan.
Nanao: It's the same thing.
Kyouraku: How strict. . .
Nanao: Well, let's go back.
Kyouraku: Eh? But it was just getting better!
Nanao: Taichou!
Kyouraku: Alright, I understand.
Hitsugaya: Matsumoto, you're going back and working too.
Rangiku: Ok~ Renji, what are you guys going to do?
Hinamori: I'm a-ok! I'm not drunk at all~
Renji: No, you're wasted.
Isane: Um, I have a pill that the 4th Division made that breaks down alcohol. . .
Hitsugaya: Ok, let them drink that.
Isane: If they rest a bit, they should be fine.
Renji: I guess I'll stay here with these two.
Hitsugaya: Alright, thanks.
Iba: I guess we should change places and redrink. Ikkaku, let's go.
Ikkaku: Sure!
Yumichika: Ok, then let's go to the store I always go to.
Ikkaku: No way!! The stores you go to always only has sweet alcohol!
Yumichika: The store I found this time is more tasteful.
Iba: I don't care, anywhere is fine.
Hitsugaya: We're going too, Matsumoto.
Matsumoto: Wait up, taichou! I'm making Shuuhei put all the left over food in a container.
Hisagi: Please wait just a bit.
Hitsugaya: You guys. . .
Matsumoto: I made extra orders of egg rolls.
Histugaya: Don't forget the bacon soup (?) as well. . .
Matsumoto: Understood!

The road back from the bar

Hinamori: It's been a while since the three of us walked like this.
Renji: Hinamori, are you sober now?
Hinamori: I'm fine.
Izuru: I'm not feeling that good still. . .
Renji: Heh, you're so pathetic like always!
Izuru: Ow!
Hinamori: Cut out the violence, Abarai-kun.
Renji: All right, I guess we can rest there for a bit.
Izuru: Ah, that's a nice wind.
Renji: Here. It's water.
Izuru: Thanks.
Hinamori: I can't believe it. It was only a while back when we entered the 5th Division together.
Renji: Hinamori, you're now Aizen-san's vice.
Hinamori: When we first saw Aizen taichou, that time I felt as if he was such a distant person.
Renji: Kira became the fuku-taichou of the 3rd Division too
Izuru: Abarai-kun, you're also the vice of Kuchiki Byakuya.
Renji: We've rose a lot from the 5th division.
Hinamori: But after Ichimaru-taichou became the taichou of the 3rd division, his relationship with Aizen-taichou became strange
Izuru: When Ichimaru-taichou is with me, there's nothing strange about him. Today, they did seem like they were rather ominous, relationship wise.
Renji: Well, it's not like other divisions are friendly with each other anyway. Maybe after Ichimaru-taichou got his own division, he changed. Like Kuchiki-taichou isn't too friendly with other taichous as well. Well, I haven't seen Ichimaru-taichou or Aizen-san lately, so I can't say much.
Hinamori: Oh, it seems like Kuchiki Rukia-san is not found in the present world.
Renji: She just cut off connections. Since the area she is supposed to cover, the Hollows are all slayed and sent here. Even Shrieker that devoured two shinigamis was slayed at the area Rukia was in.
Hinamori: Oh, then I guess there's not much to worry.
Izuru: But, doing her missions, but not being able to contact is strange.
Hinamori: Kira-kun. . .
Renji: It's ok, Hinamori.
Izuru: Sorry, Abarai-kun. I've said this before, but you shouldn't get close to Kuchiki-san anymore. I accept the fact that you got stronger to get close to the Kuchiki family but. . .
Renji: It's not like that. It's not about Rukia. I just want to get above Kuchiki Byakuya. But that person is. . .
Hinamori: Abarai-kun. . .
Renji: It's getting cold. Let's go back.
Hinamori: Hey, wait up, Abarai-kun.

Within the seireitei

Renji: Kira, you aren't going back to your division lodge?
Izuru: I'm going back to my quarters.
Renji: Oh, so you're coming this way. Huh? What was that?
Izuru: It can't be. . . a ghost?
Renji: How can that be possible?
Hinamori: Let's go there.
Renji: This way.
Izuru: It doesn't seem like anything changed.
Hinamori: Wait a minute, there's a mark left on the pavement. I think this is the entrance to the sewer.
Izuru: Here?
Hinamori: Only the 4th Division knows how it is inside, so I can't say much but, I think that's it.
Renji: Someone is going in and out? Huh? Kira. . .
Izuru: Eh?
Renji: There's someone there. Track the spiritual energy.
Izuru: Oh, you're right. The way they are erasing their spiritual energy is not ordinary.
Renji: Kira, let me borrow the canteen from before.
Saidou: Ow!
Renji: Come out!
Saidou: Haha I was caught.
Renji: Who are you?
Saidou: Even if you ask me who I am, there are only shinigami around here.
Renji: Good attitude you got there. . .
Saidou: Hey! You guys are. . .
Renji: What?
Saidou: You're Kira, Abarai and Hinamori-chan.
Izuru: How do you know our names?!
Saidou: It's me! Don't you remember me? I was in the shin-ou reijutsu-in (aka shinigami school) and was two grades above you. I'm Saidou Eikichirou! I was pretty popular.
Izuru: Oh yeah, there was some upper classman with that strange name. . . He was said to have skill, but he was a weird one.
Hinamori: I heard of that too.
Saidou: When I was in the institute, I constantly checked all the ones who appeared to have a future. Of course I watched you guys well too. Wow, it's been a while!
Renji: And what is this popular upper classman doing sneaking around in the middle of the night from the sewers?
Saidou: I had an emergy duty. I came to hand in reports to the onmitsu-kidou head quarters.
Renji: You're part of the onmitsu-kidou?!
Saidou: Yeah. Even if I am part of it, I'm drawn back from the 1st line and it's more like a support army and sometimes I work like this to gain my daily meals like this.
Hinamori: What do you mean?
Saidou: Basically I live in the Rukongai and when I have work, I go into the seireitei. Well, what do you say, it's like a semi-retireing?
Izuru: There's something like that?
Hinamori: I don't know. . .
Saidou: It's really uptight in the seireitei. It's more laxed in the Rukongai.
Renji: Why did you have to go through the sewer though?
Saidou: Ah! Good question! The answer issss. . . *drum roll* Because it's my personal hobby!
Izuru: Hobby?
Saidou: Since it's annoying to going back and forth from Rukongai to Seireitei from the entrance. So it's easier to go in the evening sneaking in like this. Also you can experience a slight sense of adventure in the sewer as well.
Renji: Are you allowed to do that?
Hinamori: I don't know.
Saidou: It's fine It's fine. I allow it.
Hinamori: When you said duty, were you away somewhere?
Saidou: I went to the present world. A simple investigation.
Hinamori: Oh, thanks for working then.
Izuru: Can the onmitsu-kidou just babble like this?
Saidou: It's fine. Who cares about that.
Renji: Care about it.
Saidou: Oh yeah, you guys were in the same grade as Kuchiki Rukia-chan, right?
Renji: How do you know about Rukia?
Saidou: I met her a bit at the present world. Talk about Rukia-chan and you guys, I see a lot of old familiar faces these days.
Renji: What was Rukia doing?!
Saidou: What is it, all of a sudden?!
Renji: Oh, sorry.
Saidou: Calm down. Rukia-chan is fine and she's going around slaying Hollows.
Renji: Normally?
Saidou: Yep, normally.
Izuru: Then why can't anyone contact her?
Saidou: Hmm, I wonder why. . . Maybe she's just sticking around with a guy from the present world. . .
Hinamori: Ehh?! With a person from the present world?!
Renji: You idiot, how can a shinigami do something with a person from the present world?! Damn her, she was safe afterall.
Hinamori: That's good to know, right, Abarai-kun?
Saidou: Oh crap, I need to get to the guardroom before it closes! Oh yeah, what division are you guys in now?
Hinamori: I'm in the 5th Division.
Izuru: I'm in the 3rd Division.
Renji: I'm in the 6th Division and all three of us are working as a fuku-taichou.
Saidou: Ohh, is that so~ You guys are all fuku-taichous! You guys went up on rank! ahaha-- wait, fuku-taichou?
Renji: Yeah.
Saidou: Oh! I am very sorry!
Izuru: Don't mind about it.
Saidou: No no, ranks are a must! If I'm glared by a higher ranking officer, it'll affect my chance of going up on ranks!
Renji: More like, you were planning to go up on ranks?
Saidou: Well, please let us continue to stay on good terms. If there's a chance, let's meet again,
Hinamori: Ah, he left. . .
Izuru: We got information about Kuchiki-san from an unexpected place.
Renji: It's not like I was worried about her.
Hinamori: Well, I'm going to go now.
Renji: All right, be careful.
Izuru: I'm going too.
Renji: See you.
Izuru: Good night.
Hinamori: Let's go drinking together again.
Renji: The next time we were to meet after we parted today was not at a calm friendly meeting but, at the emergency division meeting within the seireitei when we had to go with our emblems of a vice captain for an emergency situation. At this time, no one even thought of that happening along with all the affairs that was caused around Rukia as well. . . At this time, no one even knew.

Aizen's Room

Aizen: I suppose I need to wash out all the old research records once. I guess I need to go to the grand spirit books cloister. It's you, Gin?
Gin: Yes.
Aizen: I thought I told you not to come here as much. Since you and I aren't that friendly.
Gin: I'm sorry. I thought I should report you something rapidly.
Aizen: What is it?
Gin: A person that seems like Kuchiki Rukia was discovered in the present world.
Aizen: Is that true?
Gin: In the television show of the present world, a glimpse of her was found by the weird guys at the technology development office. However, there is no official notice on whether that is really her or not.
Aizen: At where is this?
Gin: Karakura City
Aizen: I thought so. It seems like the onmitsu-kidou has been sent out, but an unclear report has been submitted. I suppose the shinigami that was sent there submitted a fake report upon contacting Kuchiki Rukia. . .
Gin: It seems as if the technology development office told the onmitsu-kidou to re-research it once again
Aizen: I see.
Gin: What will you do?
Aizen: It's only a matter of time until Kuchiki Rukia is found. Gin, call Tousen over. We're going to the 46 rooms. It's time to move.
Gin: Understood.
Aizen: It seems like the difference between the empty heavens will come to an end.

6th Division Lodge

Renji: Taichou! What did you just say?!
Byakuya: It's an order from the central 46 rooms. Kuchiki Byakuya and Abarai Renji will both go to the present world and capture the criminal, Kuchiki Rukia. If not, then execute her. That's all.
Renji: What is this order suddenly?!
Byakuya: Rukia was discovered in the present world. And she committed a crime.
Renji: Please show me the paper with the orders! Unknown whereabouts along with multiple crimes : Kuchiki Rukia. It's true.
Byakuya: Get ready to leave.
Renji: Taichou! What do you think about Rukia's crime?!
Byakuya: I will say it once again. This is an order from the central 46 rooms. Get ready to leave.
Renji: Yes. I understand. Rukia. .. you. . . what did you do? Agh damnit. I don't even want to think about it. Just wait Rukia, I'll ask you personally!
