Chapter 2: Soi Fon's Secret

See? This form is pretty useful, right?

I'm not so sure about that.

It seemed to me that you actually put yourself in danger there.

The Seireitei may appear to be recovering on the outside, but everyone involved in that battle is exhausted, both physically and mentally.

In times like these, don't you think everyone needs a bit of therapeutic healing?

My charming form should be very appealing to everyone right now for that exact reason.

O-Of course it is!

Your elegant stance, your smooth fur, your alluring eyes...

They're so irresistible! I must admit I understand the others' urge to touch you.

You can't imagine how many times I've dreamed of petting that silky, smooth body.

Hahaha. Let's save that for another time.

Aww, Lady Yoruichi!

Izuru! Come on! Drink up!

Stop it, Rangiku! I can't!

What? You don't want to drink with me anymore? Well, request denied! We're drinking until we pass out today!

Okay, fine! I'll keep you company until I start throwing up then.

Now, that's what I'm talking about! Keep it up!

What are you guys doing? The sun's still high and you're already drunk?

Ooh, would you like to join us too, Captain Soi Fon?

I'll pass.

*Hic*

Heyyyy! It's Captain Soi Fon!

You know? You're so lucky, Captain Soi Fon.

Didn't your former captain disappear once? I heard you were able to find her.

I know about these things, you know?

Like, whenever you saw a black cat or a cat-themed trinket, you'd mutter "Lady Yoruichi" under your breath.

What?! I would never!

Thanks to you, whenever I see fox masks and trinkets at those night markets, it reminds me of Captain Ichimaru...

So that's how you felt about Gin, huh?

What have you done to me?!

Huff... *Sniffle*... Captain Ichimaru...

Oh, forget about Gin already! Come on. Let's go drink some more over there! That sounds good, doesn't it?

Sniff...

I'll catch you two later!

Anyway, shall we head over to the sweets shop then?

(I guess everyone is trying to move on in their own ways.)

(Just like the old me.)
