"In short, thank you Captain Yoruichi for attending my return ceremony!"

As he spoke, Kuruyashiki bowed slightly to Yoruichi Shihouin in gratitude.

“Where, where…”

Upon hearing this, Yoruichi smiled politely at Kuruyashiki.

To be honest, she would never have gone if Araki hadn't insisted...

"Then, Captain Yoruichi, I have a favor to ask. I wonder if you would be willing to grant it?"

Immediately after Kuruyashiki treated Yoruichi with great courtesy, he planned to launch a counterattack. As he smiled at Yoruichi, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.

"Oh? What is this unreasonable request you're referring to?!"

After hearing what Kuruyashiki said, Yoruichi narrowed her eyes slightly and then asked a question.

"Captain Yoruichi, I would like to have a match with you."

Kuruyashiki bluntly stated his purpose to Yoruichi in front of her and drew his Zanpakuto from his waist.

"Heh, you just got back from Hueco Mundo, and you're already planning to challenge my captaincy?!" Yoruichi was taken aback by Kuruyashiki's words, but her anger subsided quickly. She looked at Kuruyashiki coldly and said, "Looks like I was really underestimated! Don't think that just because I'm from a noble family, I don't have the ability to be the captain! You bastard!"

"No, no, no, Captain Yoruichi, you've misunderstood..."

"I am not here to challenge your position as captain! It's just that I was somewhat resentful after losing to Captain-Commander Araki! So I want to spar with the captains of the Gotei 13 and take this opportunity to understand just how big the gap is between my strength and yours!"

After hearing Yoruichi's words, Kuruyashiki smiled slightly.

"Oh? Then I really misunderstood you..."

"However, if you've come to me just to test your strength, you've probably chosen the wrong opponent!"

"Because I can defeat you in an instant! But that's fine too, at least fighting me won't take up too much of your time. You still have time to challenge others today to test your strength~"

As Yoruichi spoke, she stood up from her seat, a confident smile appearing on her face.

"Really? I'm really looking forward to it!"

As he spoke, Kuruyashiki also became eager to try it out.

"Well then, here I come..."

It happened so fast!

After deciding to fight Kuruyashiki, Yoruichi immediately used Instantaneous Movement to appear behind Kuruyashiki.

"Hey! Big guy, don't say I'm bullying you! Don't let my short stature fool you, I'm known as the 'God of Instantaneous Movement' in this 'Seireitei'! So, if you can just touch me, you win this battle, okay?!"

Yoruichi looked at Kuruyashiki's retreating figure and spoke with a smile.

To be honest, Yoruichi was confident that the big guy in front of her wouldn't be able to touch her at all...

"boom!"

However, before Yoruichi could think any further, a sudden gust of wind swept towards her.

The man who looked like a standing brown bear suddenly displayed a speed that was not commensurate with his height. In an instant, he turned around, clenched his enormous fist, and attacked her.

"what?!"

Yoruichi momentarily lost her focus, and immediately unleashed her secret technique.

The third installment of the Four Peaks Temple series: Cicada Molting!

"boom!"

As Kuruyashiki slammed his fist into the ground, the floor of the entire 'Second Division' captain's room was instantly covered with cracks. And at the spot where Kuruyashiki had chosen his target, a white 'Second Division' captain's haori was left behind.

Yoruichi's agile figure had somehow appeared behind Kuruyashiki. She was dressed in a black, sheer night outfit and stared in astonishment at the floor that Kuruyashiki had smashed with his fist...

If that punch landed on her, her body would probably break. Yoruichi thought to herself.

"That really gave me a fright! If that punch had landed on me, I probably would have broken my bones!"

"I never expected your skills, big guy, to be so different from your simple and honest appearance! Your punches are much faster than I imagined!"

"But don't let your guard down, because the battle has only just begun! I need to get serious too..."

After Yoruichi confirmed Kuruyashiki's strength, she finally abandoned her contempt and entered battle mode, looking at Kuruyashiki with eager anticipation and speaking.

"I'm sorry, Captain Yoruichi, but our battle is over!"

After hearing Yoruichi's words, Kuruyashiki slowly turned around and then, in front of Yoruichi, revealed an orange hairband he was holding in his left hand.

"Hey? That hairband in your hand looks so familiar! Could it be...?"

Yoruichi stared at the hairband in front of her, slightly taken aback. She felt that the hairband looked familiar, giving her a sense of déjà vu.

"Wow!"

Before Yoruichi could think further, her suddenly loosened hair had already given her the answer.

"Then thank you, Captain Yoruichi, for the battle with me."

"It certainly didn't take up too much of my time..."

As he spoke, Kuruyashiki left Yoruichi with a dashing back view, then left a bewildered Yoruichi behind as he departed alone.

"Eh? No..."

"Could it be that I've lost?!"

Yoruichi muttered to herself, "It seems like she set the rules for this battle..."

She had just arrogantly told Kuruyashiki that if Kuruyashiki could touch her even once, he would win. And since Kuruyashiki had her hair ribbon in his hand, it undoubtedly meant that he had touched her. So the outcome of this battle was simple: she had lost completely.

But she is so unwilling to accept it now!

"What happened to Lord Yoruichi?!"

Just as Yoruichi felt incredibly wronged by her defeat, the members of the 'Second Division' suddenly swarmed into the captain's room and questioned Yoruichi.

"Please tidy this place up..."

Yoruichi, upon hearing this, casually addressed the group of soldiers before her.

He then left his men behind and ran off...

"Your name is Kuruyashiki, right?!"

"The fight from before doesn't count. How about you fight me again?!"

"Yes," Yoruichi said, and followed Kuruyashiki's footsteps, running out of the 'Second Division' barracks.

"..."

Only the members of the 'Second Division' were left standing there, completely bewildered.

"So what do we do?!"

One of the team members asked in confusion.

"What else can we do? Clean up after the team leader!"

Immediately, a veteran member of the 'Second Division' answered.

Ever since Yoruichi Shihouin took over as captain of the 'Second Division', the most common thing these veteran members have done is 'clean up' their beloved captain's messes...

According to their squad leader, dealing with the mess left by Yoruichi Shihouin was the greatest honor of their lives as members of the 'Stealth Mobile' squad!

On the other side, Kuruyashiki showed no intention of turning back to wait for Yoruichi. He had already figured out Yoruichi's strength and did not want to waste any more time with her, so he strode forward.

Kuruyashiki's next target is the 'Third Division's' barracks.

"That Captain Kuruyashiki!"

As Kuruyashiki was leaving the 'Second Division' barracks, he happened to run into Asido, who was on his way.

"Yo! It's Ashido! My mission in the 'Second Division' is over, I'm going to the 'Third Division'!"

Kuruyashiki greeted Asido with a smile, then headed towards the 'Third Division' barracks.

"Huh? Your battle in the 'Second Division' is over?!"

"Impossible! Captain Yoruichi of the 'Second Division' is known as the 'Flash God'!"

"The opponent is the fastest in the 'Thirteenth Team' besides the Captain-General."

After hearing what Kuruyashiki said, Asido looked puzzled.

"Kuruyashiki, wait for me! That fight doesn't count!"

Just as Ashido was wondering, Yoruichi, who had chased after him from the barracks, came to Ashido's side. Ashido heard clearly what Yoruichi said to Kuruyashiki.

"Captain Yoruichi was actually defeated? That's unbelievable!"

Upon hearing Yoruichi's words, Ashido's expression immediately turned to surprise. To be honest, it wasn't that he couldn't imagine Yoruichi being defeated by Kuruyashiki, but rather that he couldn't comprehend how Kuruyashiki had defeated Yoruichi so quickly!

Most importantly, neither Kuruyashiki nor Yoruichi appeared to be injured.

"too weird!"

As Asido spoke, he chased after Yoruichi and Kuruyashiki.

The 'Third Division' barracks.

"Captain Soi Fon, do you have time to have a match with me?"

After finding the hardworking Soi Fon, Kuruyashiki didn't say anything extra and directly invited her.

As for why Kuruyashiki treated Soi Fon this way, it's because he knew Soi Fon's personality: she was upright and honest, and disliked flattery and anything that wasted time. Faced with such a straightforward person, Kuruyashiki naturally chose a straightforward approach to invite Soi Fon.

"I do not……"

Soi Fon sat in the captain's room, not even raising her head, and addressed Kuruyashiki directly.

"Soi Fon, be careful! This guy is very strong!"

At that moment, Soi Fon heard Yoruichi's voice in her ear.

"Lord Yoruichi?!"

Upon hearing this, Soi Fon immediately dropped the documents in her hand and looked excitedly at Yoruichi, whom she had been longing for.

Yes, Soi Fon's main characteristic is double standards. She doesn't even bother to put on an act; she ignores Kuruyashiki's invitation with indifference! But she's overly enthusiastic about Yoruichi's casual remarks...

If Yoruichi weren't a girl, and if Soi Fon weren't also a girl, and if it weren't for the fact that girls in Soul Society can't have children together, Soi Fon might have married Yoruichi and had children long ago.
