This Was Very Abnormal

"Fine. Since you say so, I'll believe you for now."

Yoruichi stared at Ichigo for a long time. In the end, she merely frowned slightly and withdrew her piercing gaze.

It was not that she truly believed Kurosaki Ichigo's feeble explanation.

What truly made her hesitate was where Inoue Orihime had appeared.

The fact that the girl had appeared in the Fifth Division was itself full of contradictions.

If Aizen really was the mastermind behind everything, why would he hide such an important hostage in his own division barracks at such a critical moment?

Wouldn't that be the same as exposing himself?

If Aizen was suspicious, Inoue Orihime should have appeared in the territory of the Eighth Division or the Tenth Division. That would have fit the logic of framing someone else far better.

If Inoue Orihime had been anywhere but the Fifth Division, Yoruichi Shihoin would never have cleared Aizen of suspicion.

But Inoue really was in the Fifth Division...

"Forget that for now. Check where Shunsui Kyoraku, Rukia, and Ross are."

Kurosaki Ichigo could not help saying.

Rather than dwelling on the Fifth Division's affairs now, they might as well investigate everything that needed investigating, then hurry to the Fifth Division to save her.

"I'll check right now."

Yoruichi Shihoin nodded. She knew this was not the time to fuss over such things.

Whether Aizen was involved or not, they had to finish what was before them first.

Her purpose in coming to Soul Society this time was to drag the mastermind out into the open.

No matter who that person was, they were her target.

She would never forget the grudge of the past hundred years.

As Yoruichi Shihoin continuously tapped at the console, information recording the traces of the three people's Spiritual Pressure appeared before them.
