Frank talk!! with the 3rd Division lieutenant, Izuru Kira

The 6th Division, huh...? Their captain seems well, I'm a little jealous. It's a good place, isn't it, the 6th Division. And there's a captain, too. And Abarai-kun... We have good memories together, he's a really good guy. Not that bright, though.
