Part Two of my epilogue in three parts.

Five months later, Matsumoto bounced happily past the baggage carousel towards the exit of Milan airport. This was her fist stop of her tour of Europe, the shopping paradise.

She turned back to her porter.

"Hurry up! The bus is going to leave!"

Hitsugaya scowled.

"Try lugging fifty-plus suitcases and hurrying up."

"Aw, Taichou, don't be so mean!"

Hitsugaya tugged at his clothes.

"And why do I have to wear this?"

"Because it looks good on you, and I confiscated your normal clothes, anyway."

"You've got to be kidding me."

On one of their previous stops on Hong Kong, they had gone to Disneyland, and Matsumoto had happily dragged him to the clothes store.

To his immense horror, it was the section for 5-year-olds.

To make things even worse, it was the female section.

So now he was stuck wearing an electric pink Disney Princess dress that made him feel and look like a cupcake.

Plus, Matsumoto had made him her official porter, which was no easy task. Matsumoto picked up five purchase-filled suitcases with each destination.

He sighed.

The soutaichou had better be prepared to empty his coffers for the next ten centuries…

Never had he realized how much he missed paperwork.
