Death: This Death is a bit unorthodox.

"Because it's more fun this way." Yoruichi Shihouin grinned. "Look how good I am to you. When something fun happens, you're the first person I think of."

"..." Aozaki Mayuki covered his face; he should have guessed it sooner.

Suddenly, he saw a black cloak hanging on the wall and his eyes lit up.

"What benefits would I get if I went to steal with you?"

"That thing ultimately belongs to Kisuke. At most, you and I can borrow it for a while, but it will never truly belong to us."

"If you want me to go along with your nonsense, you have to give me something in return..."

"Huh? What do you want?" Yoruichi Shihouin was taken aback; she really hadn't thought about that question.

"I want your... secret technique to turn into a cat!"

Mayuki deliberately dragged out her voice, and Yoruichi shrank back halfway through hearing it.

He originally wanted to say "Instant Harmony," but then he thought that Yoruichi had already promised to teach him Instant Harmony, so there was no need to mention it again. He simply changed it to the secret technique that allows one to turn into a cat.

"What use do you have for that thing?" Yoruichi seemed a little embarrassed, as if recalling some unpleasant memory. "I don't use it much anymore."

She also had some doubts. The Cat Transformation Technique couldn't enhance her strength, so Zhenyue shouldn't be interested.

“You don’t understand. I have my own clever uses for it. Teach me first,” Aozaki Mayuki said confidently.

"You haven't taken a fancy to some female kitten, have you?" Yoruichi found Mayuki's statement really strange, and she felt that this "ingenious use" was not simple.

Zhenyue looked directly into her eyes: "That's right, it's the one in front of me."

Yoruichi's pretty face flushed slightly, and her voice became barely audible: "You bastard, you're so mean..."

"what?"

"Nothing?" Yoruichi became embarrassed again and shook her head. "I'll teach you, just don't get so close."

"However, this secret technique is very difficult. Yushiro has been studying it for many years but still hasn't mastered it."

"You don't need to worry about that. Just teach me the method. It's okay if I can't learn it. That's because I don't have the talent. I won't force it." Zhenyue shrugged.

“In that case, I’ll teach you the Cat Transformation Technique.” Yoruichi looked up and smiled at Mazuki. “This technique requires talent, so don’t end up crying in my arms because you can’t master it.”

"Now that you mention it, I'm not so keen on mastering it anymore."

"loquacious……"

It took nearly fifteen minutes for Yoru to explain in detail the principles and cultivation methods of the Cat Transformation Technique.

After listening to Yoruichi's explanation, Aozaki Mazuki finally understood why a genius like Yuushirou couldn't learn this secret technique.

To learn this secret technique, one must have an extraordinary ability to control spiritual particles and alter the spiritual structure of the soul at the spiritual particle level.

True Moon's strength lies in his control over spirit particles, but he has never yet attempted to manipulate the spirit particles that constitute him.

After reviewing the method that Changye had described from beginning to end in her mind, Zhenyue seemed to have gained some understanding.

He raised a hand, shook his head, unsure of his own feelings. He sat up, about to pull his hand back, when suddenly he was startled.

His palms changed; they gradually shortened, the hair grew, and a small fleshy ball grew in his palm.

Yoruichi was drinking tea to soothe her throat when she saw this scene. Her eyes widened in shock, and she choked and coughed incessantly.

This is clearly cat-like, but I've only just explained the method once, and haven't even officially started practicing yet!

True Moon's right hand quickly transformed into a cat, looking somewhat comical, but the comicality was only temporary.

Because his cat-like transformation began to spread throughout his body, and at an increasingly rapid pace.

Under Yoruichi Shihouin's watchful gaze, Maki Aozaki's body gradually shrank.

In the blink of an eye, the handsome man sitting there disappeared.

She leaned forward and found a small thing moving slowly inside her clothes.

Yoruichi reached into her clothes with both hands, pulled out the little thing, and placed it on the tatami mat.

To humans, it's a cute and handsome black and white kitten; it's just a matter of whether it's considered good-looking in the eyes of a cat.

Shinju looked up and saw Yoruichi Shihouin looking shocked.

The difference was that Yoruichi, who was usually half a head shorter than him, had become very tall, like a giant.

He looked down and saw a pair of claws covered in black and white gradient fur.

Looking back at its body, its eyes were first drawn to a swaying tail, then down to its black and white fur-covered body.

He instinctively lowered his thick, bushy tail to cover his exposed, fatal weakness, so as to avoid being attacked by the enemy.

"I succeeded." Zhenyue nodded, looking at the cat paw that popped out from between her fingers, accepting her new form.

"Hey! How did you do that? How could you be so fast?" Looking at Shinju, who could barely walk, Yoruichi leaned over him and asked excitedly, "Did you already know this move?"

"How could that be? If I knew it, I wouldn't have asked you to teach me. Do I look like the kind of person who would suffer a loss?"

When Shinjuku accidentally fell to the ground, he was still a little unaccustomed to becoming a four-legged creature for the first time.

Just as I was about to get up, I found that my body was being pressed down by something soft, and I couldn't get up for a moment.

He was shaking, still savoring the feeling from just now, when he suddenly felt a lightness in his body.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to just now." Thinking Yoruichi was angry, Aozaki Mazuki immediately looked up and apologized.

Yoruichi rubbed his face and laughed, "I think you did it on purpose. Accept your punishment."

She pulled True Moon into her arms and, taking advantage of the fact that True Moon couldn't transform into human form yet, caressed and rubbed her at will.

The kitten that Shinjuku transformed into looks a bit like a Norwegian Forest Cat, with long fur that feels silky smooth.

After touching it once at night, he became addicted and couldn't stop masturbating.

Feeling the delicate hands constantly roaming over her body, Mayuko felt a little embarrassed, but also very comfortable.

This feeling made him hesitate for a long time between rejection and acceptance.

"Genius is such a detestable thing. Do you know how many years it took to develop this secret technique? No one in the Shihouin family except me has ever learned it, yet you learned it so easily."

Yoruichi toyed with Shingetsu in her hands, and her words were equally sharp, finally culminating in a loud shout:

"That's absolutely outrageous!"

Chapter 34 Plan

Shinju felt very comfortable being touched, but he quickly realized a problem.

How can I change back?

"Hey! Yoruichi, stop playing around!" Shinjuku covered her private parts and smiled at Yoruichi: "Tell me how to turn back, don't forget we have important things to do."

Yoruichi Shihouin hummed in agreement, seemingly still wanting more, and said, "Just use the secret technique in reverse. After you turn back, we'll discuss the details of the operation."

Zhenyue tried it and found it worked. A few seconds later, she transformed back into human form and laughed:

"When we're about to take action, should we transform into cats and go to the Fourth Division?"

"No, if I turn into a cat, I won't be able to carry many things with me, it will be very troublesome."

Yoruichi Shihouin said it casually, and Shinjuku, unable to discern the truth in her words, simply smiled and replied:

"That's true."

The relationship between the two is really strange now. It seems that if they take a step forward, they will be inseparable, but if they take a step back, they will be worlds apart.

Zhenyue didn't know how to deal with this complicated situation, so she could only take it one step at a time.

Yoruichi Shihouin took out a small booklet from her pocket and patted it: "The plan is all in here. I studied it all night and I guarantee it will be foolproof."

"Didn't sleep all night?" Zhenyue finished dressing, sat opposite her, and said softly, "Why bother with all this? You can just leave this kind of mental work to Kisuke. It's his stuff anyway."

"What do you think covert operations do? I could go a week without sleeping."

Yoruichi Shihōin couldn't help but chuckle:

"You should care about yourself instead of me. Don't think you're so great. You don't know how to control yourself. Look how weak Xiu Mu Cang Chun is."

Zhenyue: "..."

Yoruichi Shihouin stopped rambling and got down to business:

"My plan is this: tomorrow night, you will use the excuse of learning kendo to stall Unohana, while I secretly sneak into the Fourth Division barracks."

Shinju listened attentively.

Yoruichi Shihouin was very satisfied with his attitude and continued to explain:

"Kisuke has figured out the location of the hot spring. To put it simply, I will find the hot spring without anyone noticing when Unohana is focused on you, and then make a clean getaway."

"..."

"It's that simple?"

"It's that simple!"

Zhenyue blinked. Had she come up with this thing after staying up all night?

Looking at Yoruichi's smiling face, he thought about it again and realized he could understand.

For her, it was just a fun little game to relax, so the plan didn't need to be too elaborate; unexpected events might make it even more interesting.

They had arranged to "visit" the Fourth Division together the following evening. It was already late at night, and Mazuki had been in Yoruichi's room for too long, so she said goodbye and went back to her dormitory at the Spirit Arts Academy to rest.

He left alone, and Yoruichi Shihouin stood upstairs, watching his departing figure indifferently, without trying to stop him.

Because she knew very well what kind of person Aozaki Mayuki was.

He may act frivolously, but he has his own ideas and enough composure to know what he can and cannot do, and he will never easily put himself in a dangerous situation.

Breaking taboos with Yoruichi would put them in a dangerous situation.

Yoruichi Shihouin herself knew, and so did Maki Aozaki; there was no need to consider this matter for the time being.

Unless Aozaki Mayuki becomes a captain-level officer and barely manages to protect himself in this turmoil, he cannot proceed to the next step.

…………

Aozaki Mayuki walked onto the familiar street again.

It was still a dark and windy night, the same biting cold wind, but the faint smell of blood was nowhere to be found.
