The Hangover 3

(Ryoto's pov)

We were heading to the restaurant we were partying. I want to know what happened, and maybe they know where we went afterward. I doubt I got the tattoo there.

Rin: "Hey, Yoruichi. I was meaning to ask. I know that you can turn into a cat for some reason because you scared me that one time when I tried to feed you, and you started talking out of nowhere, but why are you still in that form?"

Yoruichi: "You would be surprised how comfortable Ryoto's head is. Besides, I'm too lazy to walk right now. You should know why, don't you, Ryoto~."

Ryoto: "Keep me out of this conversation, please, or I won't make you fish anymore."

Yoruichi stopped her teasing as she loves to eat fish almost as much as teasing people.

Yoruichi: "You're lucky that you can cook great."

She said under her breath, but since she was still sitting on my head, I could hear everything perfectly.

Ryoto: "Also, please keep your claws hidden. I don't want to have a new haircut just yet."

During our conversation, Isane seemed out of place. She is the only one new to our group. She is also the oldest one here. I decided to attempt small talk.

Ryoto: "Did you sleep well, Isane-san?"

She was startled by my attempt to ease the mood. I would joke about me having this effect on women, but as someone who has a harem and a guy who literally had a foursome with three girls, I feel it wouldn't be funny.

Isane: "Now that you mention it, I slept really well. I didn't even have a nightmare about kamaboko that I had for a few nights in a row."

(A/N It's a type of fishcake.)

She had nightmares about what now?

Rin: "You don't like kamaboko?"

Isane: "Yes, I can't stand them..."

Ryoto: "Then what would be your favorite food?"

Isane: "It's porridge! I could eat it 3 times a day without getting bored of it!"

It looks like she is very passionate about it, but at least she is not shy about it. It also helps that the conversation keeps going.

My job here is done.

After an enjoyable walk to the restaurant, we finally entered the building, but in our sight, the owner screamed like a high-school girl that witnessed a boy entering a changing room while she was fully naked.

Owner: "Get out right now!!!"

He tried to throw us out almost immediately, but after a short persuasion and a few lollipops, he was willing to talk.

Lollipops haven't let me down as of yet, and I doubt that day will come anytime in the future.

Ryoto: "So, can you tell us what happened after I won the drinking contest."

I asked the owner.

Owner: "After you put your foot on the unconscious man, that girlie over there."

He pointed at Isane.

Owner: "Came inside. Seeing her, you walked up to her and challenged her. To my surprise, you won, but it looked like she just couldn't handle alcohol. After that, she fell to the floor. I thought that it was the end of it, but first, you looked at the floor for a few moments, I think. Hard to say with your eyes always closed. How do you even see?"

Ryoto: "You are going off-topic."

Owner: "Right, right. You looked at the floor and yelled, 'Stop mocking me!!!'. After that, you laughed at yourself and looked pretty proud of yourself. I don't know what this was about."

I hid my face behind my hands. I was embarrassed at my drunken self. It's not about the fact that I did the reference, but I was proud of it. I didn't even destroy something big. I just punched the wooden floor. I could even see the hole I made from here.

I'm disappointed in myself.

To my embarrassment, the girls looked weirdly at me. They think it's normal drunken behavior because they don't understand the reference I was trying to make.

Owner: "After that, I threw you away from my restaurant and banned you for the next 100 years."

He looked at his lollipop.

Owner: "Until today, of course."

Another satisfied customer, but right now, I should ask him about where we went afterward.

Ryoto: "Do you know where we went afterward?"

Owner: "I think you went with the white-haired man. You are lucky that he paid for the damages and food."

It looks like we have found our next destination. I'll also need to thank Jushiro-senpai for his help.

We are walking to the barracks of Squad 13 this time. Usually, we wouldn't be able to do that since we are still just students, but since Isane was with us, we got a pass. Me being Yama-jii's student helped a bit.

As we walked to Jushiro-senpai, I had something on my mind. Since we had sex and I always have my eyes open during it, I wonder if they saw them.

Ryoto: "Hey, I have a question. Did all of you see my eyes? It's not that I mind, but..."

Yoruichi: "I saw them, but you should probably keep them closed and never show them to anyone."

She sounded serious, not that I disagreed with her. If, for example, some crazy scientist saw my eyes, he would probably try to examine them... thoroughly. And that's only because of their appearance. If anyone knew of their power, Central 46 would be on my ass.

Ryoto: "I know, but what about you, Isane?"

Isane: "I also saw them but don't worry, I won't tell anyone. I think they are pretty, though."

As soon as she said it, she hid her face behind Rin, which looked incredibly adorable because of her height. If someone told me that tall girls can't be cute, I would punch him in the face because I have a fantastic example in front of me.

On our way there, we met Isane's younger sister. Kiyone Kotetsu was her name, and she wasn't even a seated officer at the moment. She looks familiar, but I don't remember her.

Kiyone: "Isane, you look different. I don't know what it is, but you seem... more feminine. Did you finally find a boyfriend?"

She asked in a joking manner, but she was pretty close to the truth. Now that I think about it, what are we? Friends? Friends with benefits? A couple? We'll need to figure it out later but first comes this mystery.

Ryoto: "Kiyone-san, do you know where Jushiro-senpai is?"

By asking that I changed the subject before she asked too much. I don't even know how I would answer it.

Kiyone: "Captain Ukitake? He is in the dojo. I heard from others that he is acting strange today."

We all looked at each other.

Ryoto: "Strange?"
