I'm really not the number one slacker in Soul Society.

Unohana calmly asked, "Where are you going? Can you tell me? Soi Fon is still a wounded patient, and from a doctor's perspective, I can't let her leave so easily."

Soi Fon, who peeked out last, was immediately drenched in sweat.

This is the reputation of Unohana Retsu within the Gotei 13.

Although the Fourth Division generally presents a gentle and mild-mannered image, and the current members of the Gotei 13 are almost unaware of the original Kenpachi's reputation, the title of "a veteran captain from the same era as Yamamoto" is a golden brand. In addition, since no one dares to offend the doctor except for the muscle-bound 11th Division, Unohana's prestige has grown day by day. To this day, she is adorned with countless legends of Seireitei and is undoubtedly a great demon king-type character second only to Yamamoto.

However, Mima wasn't nervous at all.

It was within his expectations that Unohana would appear here. After all, he hadn't concealed his spiritual pressure or lowered his voice on this trip. It would be a miracle if he could hide it from the First Kenpachi who was right next door.

Rather, he simply needed Unohana to know that he was going out to do something with Soi Fon.

"Captain Unohana, greetings." Mima nodded and said, "I just intend to take Soi Fon to see some things... related to the current situation in Seireitei."

"Is that so?" Unohana chuckled. "Don't get involved in anything dangerous, Watanabe, the fifth seat."

“It’s true that ‘if the sky falls, someone taller will hold it up,’” Mi Zhen shrugged. “But I can’t just watch my captain work hard. Now that we have ‘grasped some clues,’ we should do our part.”

He deliberately emphasized a few words, the implication couldn't be clearer.

Unohana nodded, then walked away with her hands in her pockets, muttering to herself as she went, "Then I won't interfere in your affairs... but if you have any problems, remember to come to the adults for help anytime."

The two exchanged a few words, and both got a satisfactory result, except for Soi Fon, who looked completely bewildered.

"Watanabe... Captain Unohana, what's going on...?"

Mima sighed and explained briefly: "What we're about to do is somewhat dangerous. If we can't withstand it, we can seek help from the Fourth Division... that's what I mean."

This wasn't even speaking in riddles; it was practically stating the obvious. Yet, it still took Soi Fon a while to figure it out.

Does doing too much physical training really build muscle for your brain...?

With a bewildered Soi Fon in tow, Yama quickly left the Fourth Division barracks. Only after this incident did he explain his purpose to Soi Fon: "Get yourself in the right state. We'll go get something and then head straight to the Tsunayoshiro family."

"Huh... the Tsunayo family... isn't that..."

Soi Fon's face showed an instinctive look of retreat, and she whispered, "Trespassing on a noble's main residence is a serious crime!"

Mizhen laughed dismissively, "Heh, if you're not caught, it's not a crime, huh?"

Soi Fon "?"

"I'll explain as we walk."

Mima sighed: "In short, you have to know that the current situation of the Tsunayo family and the Seireitei is inextricably linked to this—and now, we have to investigate what conspiracy they are planning."

This is Yama's goal, and also the limit that the identity of "Watanabe Yama" can achieve.

Now that he has the Rabbit Talisman, he can handle this matter in some unethical ways.

For example, calling for reinforcements, calling for reinforcements, or damn calling for reinforcements!

The saying goes, "Shoot the arrow first, then draw the target," meaning that you'll hit the bullseye every time. Now that he knows what the Tsunayo family is up to, he just needs to sneak over and investigate. He can then pretend to have made a great discovery and directly report it to the old man, so that he can come over and quickly send this damned Dark Azure Mage away with a couple of slashes.

Then we can find a way to gang up on Shihouin Hyakugetsu and use our overwhelming advantage to resolve this incident. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

Of course, "Watanabe Yama" is ultimately a weakling, so it would be a bit inappropriate if he used this identity to accomplish something big.

Chapter 108: Different Paths to the Same Destination in Infiltration

Therefore, you need teammates, teammates who are neither too strong nor too weak. If they are too strong, it will be difficult for them to hide their strength, and if they are too weak, they will drag you down.

Why did you choose Soi Fon?

Because she has a very rare quality: her loyalty is to "Yoruichi Shihouin" rather than "the Shihouin family".

Yoruichi herself is a good person and doesn't even care about the petty power of the nobility.

So naturally, Soi Fon is also a very easy person to turn.

And there's certainly no problem with their abilities.

After all, she was one of the most outstanding members of the Covert Forces, having carried out countless infiltration missions, making her the perfect partner for such missions.

This is a good opportunity to show her the true colors of the four noble families, and it can also deepen our friendship. There are many benefits, so why wouldn't we do it?

.............................................

After leaving the Fourth Division barracks, Mima spent some time explaining the sinister nature of the Shihouin and Tsunayo families to Soi Fon in a way that even a monkey could understand. He easily shattered Soi Fon's worldview and gained a fangirl in the process... If only that were the case.

"what do you mean……"

Soi Fon stroked her chin thoughtfully for a moment: "You suspect that Tsuna Yayo... and the Shihouin family want to gain some kind of benefit by creating chaos?"

"Right, that is it."

Mima nodded, then couldn't help but add after a moment, "You don't seem surprised at all?"

Soi Fon returned a puzzled look: "Surprised? Why?"

Feeling vaguely that he had overlooked something, Mima pondered for a moment, then gestured and said, "Don't you think that me saying such things is maliciously slandering a great upper-class noble or something?"

"Hmm?" Soi Fon looked at him with even more confusion. "...No matter what, the Fon family is still a noble family...Do you really think I wouldn't have at least a basic understanding of what nobles are capable of?"

Mima fell silent.

"You make a good point." He sighed, rubbing his forehead. "I was naive."

"Speaking of which, you really can let me see Lord Yoruichi, right?"

Walking towards the Eighth Division barracks, Soi Fon bit her lip and then asked Yama, "If you're lying to me, I will definitely..."

“You’ve asked this question eight times already…” Mima rolled her eyes. “Eighth time! I already said I’d show you the evidence later—let’s put it this way, if I lied to you about this, you can blow me up with your Bankai, okay?”

"Oh... there's no need to be so dramatic."

Soi Fon shrank her neck and waved her hand somewhat helplessly: "I just feel... uneasy."

“I didn’t force you to get involved.” Mi Zhen sighed. “If you think I’m unreliable, you can leave first—anyway, nothing bad has happened to your Yoruichi. Even without my help, after a few decades or a hundred years, once things have calmed down, you’ll be able to see her again.”

"what……?"

Soi Fon blinked, seemingly somewhat intrigued by this unexpected path.

She slowed her pace, and a strange light began to flicker in her eyes...

It was as if they were imagining that reunion hundreds of years later.

Mima: "..."

Isn't this... a little too humble?

This is to the point that even a heartless and emotionless person like me would feel saddened by.

In a brief silence, Mima led Soi Fon away from everyone's sight and secretly entered the 8th Division barracks. Then, crouching low, she returned to her room, rummaged through her wardrobe, and took out two cloaks, one brown and one white.

One of the items was given to him by Yoruichi, and the other was something Yoruichi took off and threw on the ground before leaving Soul Society.

He figured it would be a waste not to take it, so he brought the last piece back, washed it, and hung it in the closet.

This is exactly what came in handy today...

"Here you go." Mima tossed the one she hadn't worn to Soi Fon. "You should know what this is."

"..."

Soi Fon silently accepted the cloak, remained silent in the corner of the room for a while, and then buried her head in the cloak...

She burst into tears?

Like a child who has been wronged outside finally seeing her parents, she buried her head in the cloak that might still have a trace of Yoruichi's scent, sobbing uncontrollably, showing no signs of being someone about to rise to a high position.

Mizhen stood to the side, unsure whether to offer advice or not.

Fortunately, she didn't cry for long this time. In just a few dozen seconds, she controlled her emotions, then raised her head and stared at Mi Zhen with slightly red eyes, asking, "Where did this cloak come from?"

"It was given to me by Captain Shifengyuan."

With a subtle sense of guilt that she didn't show, Mima said, "I was the one who rescued Captain Hirako and her group. She gave me this and told me to wear it to cover my spiritual pressure."

Soi Fon sniffed, then asked very seriously, "Are you really not lying to me?"

That being said, she was clearly 90% convinced.

With that attitude, if I had any intention of lying, I could make you, you stupid girl, willingly count your money from selling yourself within three days!

"It's okay if you don't believe me." Mima sighed. "After this is all over, I'll take you to see your Lady Yoruichi. You can ask her then, right?"

"Then it's a deal."

Soi Fon nodded: "As long as you keep your word, I will do everything I can to help you."

Although this sounds a bit strange, at least we've successfully formed a team... right?

This girl is already a bit dim-witted, so is it inappropriate for me to keep fooling her like this?

Feeling a strange pang of guilt for taking advantage of an honest person, Mi Zhen coughed and changed the subject, saying, "Then let's not delay and set off immediately."

..........................................

The two stealthily made their way to the vicinity of the Tsunayo family's territory.

"In short, our first priority is to never be discovered."

Soi Fon, her face covered with a cloth, solemnly instructed Mima: "Trespassing on a noble's territory without permission is a serious crime. If you are discovered, it is only natural that you will be killed on the spot."

“Ahem… I’ll just mention this.” Mima coughed, “Neither of us can be considered ‘ordinary Grim Reapers,’ especially you, the future captain.”

“Don’t interrupt me, I’m just explaining the seriousness of the situation.” Soi Fon glared at him, then continued, “With Yoruichi’s cloak, we don’t need to deliberately hide our spiritual pressure. As long as we’re careful not to expose ourselves to others, this operation won’t be too difficult—provided you can keep up with my movements.”

Mima felt as if she had done something truly remarkable...

That's why they say doing good is like climbing a mountain, while doing evil is like a landslide.

Less than half an hour ago, Soi Fon was a well-behaved girl from a lower-ranking noble family who would never have dared to dream of breaking into the Tsuna Yayo family to investigate secrets—but ever since accepting Yayo's conditions, she has fallen into depravity at an astonishing speed.

Their actions include, but are not limited to, proposing various insidious and vicious schemes, such as releasing a gaseous poison near the Tsunayoshi family's residence to knock people unconscious before infiltrating, or capturing an important member of the Tsunayoshi family, severely torturing them, and then using the Execution Army's secret technology to make them forget the fact that they were tortured.

Such things are even more elaborate than what Mima does.

After all, Soi Fon, who comes from the Criminal Investigation Department, is the real expert in this field.

However, after much deliberation, they ultimately chose the most traditional method: to sneak in without alerting anyone and then slip away unnoticed.

The main reason for doing this is to take into account the background of the Tsunayo family. No one knows if they have any hidden cards up their sleeves. If we try to fight them head-on and end up kicking a brick wall, everyone's faces will probably turn quite ugly.
