Belphagor: Vitals look fine. Annoyingly fine.
Belphagor: normally you should’ve been bedridden for a few more weeks, but your abnormal body tends to heal fast than any patient we have here.
Ichigo: So I'm cleared?
Plague Doctors: Everthing’s all in place, sir. Clean bill of health. you’re free to go.
Belphagor: You're officially dismissed. Just… Take it easy, and avoid anything exciting.
Ichigo: Yeah, yeah. I know.
Belphagor: I mean it, I don’t want you here mortally wounded again and very soon. after reading your medial records, you tend to get hurt a lot.
Ichigo: Y-yeah, it tends to happen when I fight strong enemies.
Belphagor: Don’t remind me… I fucking hate Quincies. It’s bad enough that they caused quite a mess with the cosmic balance which stirred up Heaven and Hell.
Belphagor: It’s annoying and troublesome. so please for once take it easy, so try not to get hurt again. I don’t want to deal with it again.
Ichigo: I’ll try not to. Later, Belphagor.
Ichigo: I might as well go back to work now.
Ukitake: Welcome back, Ichigo. How are you feeling?
Ichigo: Good enough to get back to duty.
Ichigo: So what’s next?
Ukitake: Yeah, about that.
Ukitake: The Damashigami interrogation is currently pending, given your recent attack. You and your team are currently relieved of duty for some RnR.
Ichigo: RnR? just like that?
Ukitake: trust me, with the drama that occurred between you and Denji, you definitely need it. the same goes for everyone.
Ukitake: and knowing you, I bet you’re pissed about it.
Ichigo: Punk nearly hacked me in half, of course I’m pissed. speak of which, is he still contained?
Ukitake: No, we let him out and let him clear his head for a while before we can reinstate you.
Ichigo: So where are they?
Ukitake: Lady Yoruichi is invited to one of Lady Beelzebub’s parties.
Ichigo: Going all out huh? she must know something if she’s binging with the Sin of Gluttony.
Ukitake: you’re not worried about her pigging out?
Ichigo: I’ve learned that we Soul Reapers have an insane metabolism. Especially since I was invited to Kirio Hikifune’s grand feasts.
Ukitake: her feasts are indeed great, shame it didn’t help with my prior illness.
Ichigo: I assume Denji is at the Lust Ring, gooning?
Ukitake: …I’m not familiar on what that term means, but yes he is at the Lust Ring. in some seedy den of ill repute… which reminds me.
Ukitake: I heard that Akira’s in Wrath.
Ukitake: He said he needed to do some personal business there and will not be back for a while.
Ukitake: I’ll notify you when we have something big, just get some rest and spend time with your family. I’ll even extend your stay there without any issues.
Ichigo: thank you, Captain Ukitake.
Ichigo: It’s rich of me to call it a miracle, but I’ll take it. Orihime must be missing me lots.
Ichigo: well don’t worry, love. I’m coming home.
Ichigo: I’m home
Orihime: Ichigo!
Kazui Kurosaki: Daddy!
Orihime: So how long do you think you’ll stay with us?
Ichigo: Don’t know, long than I hope. provide that Heaven and/or Soul Society doesn’t bust through the doors.
Kazui Kurosaki: they should leave daddy alone. I want Daddy to stay.
Ichigo: so do I, Kaz-kun, so do I.
Ichigo: I really do hope this lasts. but it’s only wishful thinking. The damage did in Hell long ago will take a while for me to pay off.
Zangetsu: I still think we give that old scratch another beating and make him clear you of all charges.
Ichigo: and risk being tossed into Tartarus? No way. this here is better than nothing. it ain’t perfect, but it’s enough.
Zangetsu: it won’t last, King.
Ichigo: I know, it but I’m fine with it. now shut up and let me have this.
Zangetsu: …sure thing, king.
