Overview
With only a month past since Kentaro and his friends left the safety of their homes in the Seireitei to travel the Human World and have their own adventures, they begin to see that leaving may not have been the best idea they had ever made... Before leaving, Kenji had left his son a warning. "I'm trusting these three to you, because your the strongest by a fair margin. But listen and heed this warning; If you meet a group called the Imawashī, then you run and don't stop. Do you understand?" And with no more than two weeks into their journey, the whispers of that very group reached Kentaro's ears. Now, two weeks later, will Kentaro be fit to evade this mysterious organization? Or will he run afoul of their schemes?
