You are very strong, but my painting style is better than yours!

"Skin contact between men and women?"

Unohana opened her squinting eyes and said seriously, "To stab each other in vital areas with knives, letting warm blood drip down the blades and mix together—this is undoubtedly the highest level of intimacy!"

"...Don't lie to me, I'm not well-educated."

Saito's eye twitched: "Even I know there's definitely something wrong with this!"

"This is just the general opinion. People like us naturally have our own definition of romance."

Unohana coughed lightly and changed the subject: "Judging from your dejected look... Did you confess? Was it a success or a failure?"

"I didn't confess..."

"I knew it. After all, no matter how brave you are on the battlefield, when it comes to relationships, you're always—"

"They were just hugging without any clothes on... Does that count as a confession?"

Am I out of touch with the times? Why can't I understand what she's saying? Unohana blinked.

"Seriously, what exactly is going on?"

"..."

Saito glanced at Unohana silently, his gaze lingering on her chest, then looked down at himself and suddenly clicked his tongue in annoyance.

"Lie, I wish I could be like you."

"What does it mean?"

Unohana is becoming increasingly confused.

"...It's something you can't understand."

That look seemed to say: Anyway, you don't have a man, so you won't understand my troubles.

—The veins on the temples of Ueno Hana bulge out.

She struggled to maintain her almost broken smile and continued softly, "Is that so?"

Saito's eyes lit up, and a sudden thought struck him: "Retsu, do you have any medicine here... that... that can make breasts more... feminine... um."

"What do you take the Fourth Division for?"

"Itsuki Hana said coldly."

"Ugh……"

Saito fell into melancholy, and couldn't help but recall the events of that day:

When she saw Iori wake up and she was in a "disarmed" state, she was both anxious and embarrassed. Suddenly, she thought that if she covered Iori's eyes, he wouldn't be able to see anything.

However, it was too difficult to cover it with one hand, while Iori was holding the other hand firmly—

hateful!

I must have been out of my mind! I actually did something I'll regret for the rest of my life!

She wrapped her arms around the back of Iori's head and pressed the man's head directly against her chest!

...I can't forget it.

The sensation of that moment... the warm breath... as to what places it touched... she didn't want to think about it at all!

She didn't remember clearly what happened after that—

Okay, she's just fooling herself. She remembers everything clearly, but they're all unbearable memories that make her want to be reincarnated!

That day, I basically lost all my dignity for my entire life... Sigh!

Why did you let the atmosphere get the better of you? It made the other person feel so guilty.

—Yes, it was Saito who felt guilty.

Because he was blinded by desire and shame, he recklessly dragged a seriously injured person into bed... Isn't that the epitome of scum?

Not to mention that she was his savior, who had finally defeated the enemy and even managed to heal him... and then, when he was at his weakest, this inexplicable woman forced herself on him!

Because of his lack of experience, his skills must not be very good. It is very likely that he will be the only one enjoying himself. Iori... will he be very troubled? Saito blushed at the thought.

She was very confident in her fighting abilities, but when it came to feminine charm...

Height, physique, speech, manners, cultural refinement—she had absolutely no advantage in any of these areas. And look at that almost fat-free, emaciated body… It might be convenient in combat, but no matter how agile she was, she wouldn't be able to perform well in bed.

Men would probably prefer a body like Yoruichi Shihouin's, right?

However, considering Iori's age and upbringing, she might be the type to be attached to her mother or older sister, so she might be more inclined towards a woman like Retsu, who is more tolerant.

But no matter which one it is, it's not for a flat-chested tomboy like me...

Tomboy and tomboy are different traits!

The tomboy that men like actually combines a man's straightforward personality with a woman's soft body.

But a tomboy really is just a "man"!

"The fact that you're bothered by this means... that you've already done what needed to be done?"

"……Yes."

"Oh ho~"

Unintentionally, she made a sound that a mature and composed captain shouldn't have, and Unohana quickly coughed twice to dispel the embarrassment.

"So... to what extent did you achieve that?"

"...That's up to your imagination."

"Is this guy showing off?" Unohana thought darkly.

Judging from her expression, she was simply too embarrassed to say it, but women are creatures who have a strange competitive streak, even an old woman who has lived for a thousand years... Death is no exception.

Of course, Unohana has no desire for men, so she won't be aroused by Saito.

"That's a good thing. You don't have any plans to get married and have children, right? Just treat it as a precious memory, keep it in your heart, and savor it slowly in the future."

Unohana said in a tone of someone who had been through it all, "Look at you now, you're just like a little girl who doesn't know anything about the world."

"..."

Saito didn't hear what Mio no Hana was saying; her mind was filled with Iori, like a student who had just finished an exam, constantly "reviewing" and looking for her mistakes.

Are the steps correct? Is the solution method too simplistic? Are the dimensions of this cylindrical geometric figure too large?

Is it too aggressive to jump straight into the difficult problems? If you can't solve a problem, you shouldn't give up and move on to the next one...

The final paper turned out very messy, with so many corrections, it was really embarrassing.

I'm afraid I'll get a very low score on this test... Is it because I'm not good enough, or are the questions too difficult?

Although the man didn't seem to be in much pain (in fact, he completely took control in the latter half of the encounter), Saito still didn't dare to meet him afterwards.

There's no other way... this is the only thing we can do!

"Retsu, be my second!"

Saito took out his Zanpakuto and knelt properly on the floor.

"The damage is irreversible!"

"...What kind of logic led you to this answer?"

Unohana was utterly speechless at her friend who was completely obsessed with love. Although her personality was already quite eccentric before, once she got involved with men, her words and actions became even more incomprehensible.

Indeed, staying single was the right thing to do. If I ended up like that, wouldn't I become a laughingstock?

But after all, she was a close friend he had known for over a thousand years, and seeing her like this still made him feel somewhat sorry for her.

"Actually, I can more or less guess what's bothering you, but there's nothing I can do to solve it. I can only do you a favor."

"...Convenient? What's convenient?"

Saito was startled.

“Aizen Iori is receiving treatment at the Fourth Division’s base. I can inject him with an anesthetic like ‘Breakpoint’ to make you lose consciousness for a short time.”

"why is that?"

Saito tilted his head in confusion.

"The reason you're still being so dramatic is simply because you're sexually frustrated."

Unohana replied calmly, "What, do you need me to cripple his hands for you?"

"...Sometimes I feel like you're not a woman at all!"

Saito was filled with awe: "What do you take relationships between men and women for?!"

The God of Deception

Type: Bonds & Art Style.

Quality: Legendary.

Grade: EX.

Introduction: You have deceived the world; everyone is on a pre-designed stage, dancing to the tune of your fingers.

But there's no need to feel guilty.

For them, lies are the gentlest form of reality.

Rewards Overview:

【Worn-out eye mask E~EX】

The bond from "Saito's immortality" manifests as a special protection.

Only when wearing an eye patch on one eye does it surprisingly suit you perfectly, showcasing a unique charm. Anyone who likes this style (regardless of gender) will definitely be attracted to you!

The art style value only increases by an extra 7 when one eye is covered by an eyepatch.

【True Lies EX】

It's not a matter of words or coercion, but it makes it easier to guide the pace of the conversation and gain the trust of others through tone of voice, wording, and emotions.

If you can guide others to act according to your will, the power of your words will become stronger and stronger. If you can successfully guide a single person or a group more than three times in a row, you can have an effect similar to "prophecy".

Whether you believe in the other party or not, your subconscious will guide things in the way you expect when you act, and success or failure is full of uncertainty.

……

Iori had a fairly pleasant time during this period. On one hand, he successfully eliminated the hypothetical enemy "Toki-nada," bringing an end to the Tsuna-yayo family bombing incident and its aftermath. On the other hand, he recruited Lone Wolf before the war, and the two made a promise that if a way could be found to allow him to live a normal life, Stark could become a member of Las Noches.

In addition, there is another major event that has been hidden and not made public:

The results of research on the Hollowfication of Shinigami.

Aizen Iori used forbidden Hollowfication technology to save Saito from immortality—this will be revealed after they return to Seireitei, and it will surely cause quite a stir.

[Room 46] It is of course impossible for them to accept such a thing, but what's done is done, and Iori also has a legitimate reason.

The White Fang of Konoha next door was driven to his death by rumors after he saved his comrade but broke the rules. Iori, on the other hand, wanted to see if anyone in the Seireitei would come looking for trouble for her.

If we refer to the "original work," Hollowfication is taboo, but it's not entirely unacceptable. Kensei, Hirako, and the others went back to being captains! They just set a rule not to use Hollowfication within the organization.

But to be honest, their half-baked Hollowfication doesn't really improve their strength that much; they'd be better off focusing on mastering Bankai.

In short, Iori is not worried about the troubles that will follow her return to Seireitei; after all, it will just be a minor disturbance.

The reason he chose to use Hollowfication to save Saito was twofold: firstly, he couldn't ignore Saito, and secondly, out of personal feelings, he didn't want Saito to reach the end of her life like that, even if it was her own wish, Iori would never allow it.

Secondly, it was a matter of following the trend—in the eyes of others, what Iori did, although taboo, was very logical and in line with his character of valuing loyalty and affection.

However, there is another very important point:

This forces the Gotei 13 to recognize and come into contact with "Hollowfication," and breaking through the boundaries is undoubtedly the path for Shinigami and Hollows to evolve upwards.

Even though the Visoreds, who were Aizen's test subjects, could only use Hollowfication as a transformation technique and fight like Ultraman... their spiritual pressure intensity was indeed increased.

With the technology becoming more advanced, the Arrancars, represented by the "Espada," no longer have any obvious flaws and are very stable in both their normal state and their Resurrected form.
