Inoue-chan's place

I arrive in the building and smile at Hiro.

"I'm always right dear ~"

The young girl finally arrives and opens the door. She looks pretty joyful, and her smile might be as big as her... boobs. Well. Not worse than Matsumoto-san.
I glance at Hiro. There's no need for me to talk to him about that. I think he's already understood.
I put a hand on his shoulder and smile at Inoue'san.

"You're saving us. My name is Tsukihô Satori, of the 9th Squad. "

"Please have a seat!"

For a moment, her beautiful eyes seem to be lost on the path of life.
"Ah!? Would you like a pastry? Tea?"

The second after she offers us to eat, saliva is flooding into my mouth.
"That would be a pleasure, thank you! Is it okay for you to feed two hungry soldiers on a mission like that?"

"Hehe don't worry don't worry, I have loads of leftovers from work look!" As she says so she opens a cupboard, about to crumble under an enormous stock of cakes.

Guess she won't miss a muffin or two...
"I'd be more than grateful if you had a cup of coffee, miss".

While she is preparing a plate, I search for Satori's approval before starting the explanations.
"There are four of us. I think you'll get along well with our comrades Hoshino Mayu and Tachibana Ruyuz, they're lovely girls like you, Inoue-san. We all arrived this morning in the Real World because we're looking for...something very important and quite dangerous. It might be hidden for now, and we've been allowed to spend as much time on searching for it as necessary.
Since we'll be staying in Karakura, maybe for a while, we're hoping that people here will be able to welcome us.
We'd be delighted if you could help us find those hosts!"

Inoue Orihime put on a serious look as soon as she heard "dangerous".
"Of course we'll gather to help you out! You're friends of Rukia-chan, and of Kurosaki-kun. I can make room for two of you. Then, well... I guess I'll talk this out with Ishida-kun and Sado-kun, okay?"

Seems like a very motivating debut. Some people in this town will be able to shoulder us.


I glance at my wife while chomping a piece of croissant.
"Whadya think, Satori dear?"

I drink my cup of tea, listening to Inoue-san and Hiro dear, and then answer to him:

"Well, I think that if our hosts know about shinigamis and all, there's no problem. But we still have to know if we won't bother them too much, we don't know how long we're going to stay here like you said."

I look at Inoue-san's serious face.

"We're not going to lie to you, Inoue-san. It could be kind of dangerous, I just hope you're not gonna be involved in this."

After making her aware of the risks, I decide to smile. She seems to be nice, there's no need to scare her.

"But anyway, don't worry 'bout that. That's very nice of you, since we don't know them... That's like Matsumoto-san said, you seem to be very trustworthy. She talks a lot about you."

Inoue blushes as she hears Satori's words.
"Uwaa really? I wasn't sure if she really liked me... I've always thought I had bored her with my personal issues last time she came here!"

She compulsively swallows five muffins in a row.

The poor girl. I wonder if I could be of any help with her issues...

She interrupts my thoughts with a gasping sound.
"Oh wait! I gotta go or I'll be late for school!"

She springs up, and without a moment of hesitation takes her pullover off to change into her school uniform.

I freeze.
My mind, on the other hand, is boiling.
Eeeh!? What the hell? 
Dammit no way I could have expected that move!
Keep you eyes away! Resist temptation keep your eyes away...
I somehow manage to crawl on the side to keep the girl's privacy to a bare minimum.

A few seconds later she calls for us, this time with most of her body covered by the same uniform we bought earlier.

"So then... what are you planning to do, Yowaiseishin-san, Tsukihô-san?", she says as she leans towards us.

Damn, what's with her flaunting her humongous..!
There's no way I'll stay sane after staying for months next to a girl like that.
...
Plans?


"Er, cough, well our colleagues are already at school so I guess we'll go with you then."

We also change ourselves, tidy the plates and cups before following her.

"So then, let's hurry up to Kamina Avenue! The school is this way!"
