Tokyo: After years of stagnation, the heiress of the yakuza arrives.

"Speak!" A slightly irritable voice came from the phone.

"Huh? Oh... 123..." Kuroba Shido was startled and hurriedly started counting on his fingers.

"Hmm?" Aoko Jingu's displeased voice came accurately from the other end of the phone to this end once again.

"Oh, 321..."

Aoko Jingu: "..."

"Are you kidding me?" Aoko Jingu's tone was very calm, but you could hear the undisguised anger and murderous intent in her heart.

Although Kuroba Shido didn't understand why these noble ladies and young women liked to speak in such a tone, always talking about killing and burying people alive, it was like the male protagonist in some fantasy novels, all he had were sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes...

With my sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, who do you think you are, the Bull Demon King?!

Although he didn't understand, Shido Kuroba expressed his respect... well, actually he couldn't help but disrespect her, as he was no match for that vicious old woman.

Two fists can't beat four hands. This society is no longer the one where you could make a name for yourself just by being strong and good at fighting... Are you really that good at fighting? What good is it if you're good at fighting? In this world, it's all about power and influence!

Moreover, Shido Kuroba's fists aren't even strong enough, and she has a lot of underlings and henchmen. In a one-on-one fight against Aoko Jingu, without using the "Three-Second True Man Experience Card," the odds are likely to be 1/1.

He was killed seven times in three minutes...

Under these circumstances and conditions, it's best to be pragmatic, otherwise you might end up getting beaten to a pulp.

"squeak--"

The Black Feather Warrior said, "???"

What the hell is that noise?

Big Black didn't seem to be screaming that badly, did it?

Upon hearing the mouse's squeaking, Shido Kuroba instinctively thought that something bad had happened to Daikoku. However, he discovered that the mouse's screams were coming from the phone, along with a person's screams, or more precisely, his wife's screams.

"ah--"

"Don't pinch it, it hurts, waaaaah..."

"Shut up, you idiot old woman, if you move again I'll crush you like a dead rat."

"Waaaaah..."

Two voices came through the phone at the same time, the voices of Jingu Yoshiko and Jingu Aoko. Judging from the way they were talking, they seemed to be close together. Don't move... Uh, what's going on?

Kuroba Shido subconsciously imagined a few possibilities, and found that there were quite a few, like some old lady sitting there like a horse, helplessly watching Omi being manipulated by the other party, staging a scene of "committing a crime in front of Miko" or something...

Of course, it's entirely possible that they'll be used as benches or made to kneel on keyboards, after all, they're a loving mother and daughter...

"Little Shido, please don't make Qingqing angry! My beautiful girl is dying, waaaaah..."

A pitiful voice came from the phone.

The Black Feather Warrior said, "..."

Although, but... what does Da Mei's life or death have to do with me? She's not Da Hei.

Faced with Jingu Yoshiko's moral blackmail on the other end of the phone, Kuroba Shido simply read the message and didn't reply... Sorry, there's no such thing as morality. So what if you die? You're just a mouse. You're a mouse for a day, and you're a mouse for a lifetime!

After hearing Jingu Miko's pitiful voice and complaints on the other end of the phone, Kuroba Shido heard beatings and kicks coming from the other end.

It took a while for things to calm down, and Kuroba Shido was sweating profusely from listening.

Holy crap, this is too brutal. It seems that the wife only looks glamorous on the surface. She suffers in private, even though she appears noble in public. It's not easy for her. She even gets beaten up late at night.

"I'll ask you one more time. If you don't answer properly this time, and try anything funny, I'll crush this dead rat."

Aoko Jingu spoke in a cold voice.

Miko Kamiya: "???"

The Black Feather Warrior said, "..."

Um, well, if you want to kill me, then kill me. It's none of my business...

"It's a tonic, Shido! You have to answer carefully! Do you remember? I'm going to treat you to dinner later!" Jingu Yoshiko panicked, as if grasping at the last straw, and hurriedly spoke up.

"Um, I might not remember what happened after that..." Kuroba Shido said hesitantly.

"Tomorrow, tomorrow, no, tonight, right now, I'll treat you to a midnight snack!" Shingu Miko interrupted Kuroba Shido before he could finish speaking, afraid that if she was too slow, Kuroba Shido wouldn't cooperate and she would hang up.

"Oh, I'm so sorry about this..."

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. We're all family, it's only right. I have more pocket money than I can spend each month, so you can help me spend it!"

"Oh dear, I can't accept this... But speaking of which, aren't you the head of the family? Why do you still get a monthly allowance?"

"Well... that's a long story. It was a bright and sunny morning, and I had just woken up when..."

"That's about it. By the time I found out, it was too late. All my bank cards had been blocked, and I couldn't use the company account anymore. I couldn't even get credit for meals at the company. They wouldn't let me use my facial recognition; they insisted I pay. Sigh..."

"I see. That's a real shame."

Kuroba Shido nodded in agreement, and the two of them sighed repeatedly, as if they had met a kindred spirit. They began to chat in front of Jingu Aoko, oblivious to everyone else.

So here's the question... what's the pity?

Jingu Yoshiko's bank card was suspended, and she was given a fixed monthly allowance, the amount of which would be deducted or added depending on her behavior. However, because Jingu Yoshiko's behavior was consistently poor and she frequently caused trouble, there was never any talk of adding money; it was always just deductions...

Once they have money, they start spending it recklessly, often eating out and buying things without paying, especially in the Jingu family's own businesses, where bad debts frequently occur.

The finance department always reports the situation to Aoko Jingu in a pitiful manner.

After all, Jingu Yoshiko is the head of the family. If the other party wants something, she can't just refuse to give it to them, can she?

Do you still want to stay with the Jingu family?

Especially with someone as petty as Jingu Yoshiko, after refusing, she won't treat you any differently or say anything like "you passed my test" just because you upheld the rules of the Jingu family. She'll just say, "Password? I see you can't tell the difference between the King and Queen, can you?"

Eating and dashing, or not paying for things, are considered mild cases; there are even more egregious ones, which I won't list here.

This resulted in the Jingu family not having any major problems, but constantly having minor ones. Eventually... Jingu Aoko ran out of energy and severely punished a certain idiotic old woman. Thus, the terrifying era of the Jingu family being ruled by the head of the family came to an end, and now it is a new era full of hope under the rule of the young lady!

In addition, the powerful talent and outstanding abilities displayed by Aoko Jingu led all the elders to easily defect. As the head of the family, Yoshiko Jingu became the only head of the Jingu family in history who was alive but practically dead.

Before, you could use your connections to eat out without paying, but that's no longer possible. Now, if you don't pay for a meal, it will be reported to Aoko Jingu, and she'll severely deduct ten times your allowance.

Now, Miko Jingu has become the most law-abiding citizen of Japan in the family...

We are mortal enemies with organized crime!

"Right, it's a pity, isn't it? Oh well, there's nothing I can do about it. I'm just too kind-hearted. Otherwise, I would have just pulled out two watermelon knives..."

"squeak--"

"ah--"

"Slap, slap, slap..."

"Waaaaah, I was wrong, I was wrong, waaaaah..."

A watermelon knife, huh!

You're kind-hearted, aren't you!

I'll teach you to use a watermelon knife, and I'll teach you to be kind-hearted!

For the next minute, Yoshiko Jingu received a vicious beating from Aoko Jingu, her screams never ceasing. Shido Kuroba grew increasingly silent as he listened, cold sweat pouring down his forehead, and his posture straightening involuntarily...

A handsome young man from China, transported to Japan by a large-scale shipment, stands at attention!

A minute later, the screams of Jingu Yoshiko on the other end of the phone stopped, and Kuroba Shido's heart skipped a beat... Could she have been beaten to death?

What about the dinner you promised to treat me to before?

Can we deduct it directly from my wife's allowance?

I need help urgently...

"How many women?"

"I don't like any of the three—one young, one old, and one even older. I only like you, Qingzi, who's neither too young nor too old!"

Not only did Shido Kuroba answer, but he answered perfectly, even answering before the question was asked. After answering the question, he didn't forget to give it a big lick!

Miko Kamiya: "???"

No, buddy!

You're good at talking, aren't you? Are you playing me?

The already deceased Miko Jingu was jolted back to her senses by the speed and attitude of Shido Kuroba's reply... She died with her eyes wide open in disbelief!

"Why are you over there?" Aoko Jingu was clearly satisfied with Shido Kuroba's answer and didn't press him further about the woman.

Of course, she was also confident that she wouldn't be outshone by any other disreputable women, so there was no need to worry...

"Well, Aoko, this is a long story. It all started with a few small things..."

"You have one minute to explain yourself. If you can't explain it clearly, then don't say anything at all," said Aoko Jingu.

"But then again, this isn't a complicated matter, so I can make it short. When I got home, a kid tried to extort money from me, so I kindly took him to the police station. When I got back, I found out my house had been burgled, so I ran back to report it to the police. After reporting it, I discovered that the burglar was that kid's mother. She felt really bad about it and insisted that I stay at her house for a while..."

Kuroba Shido gave a "brief" description, and Jingu Aoko on the other end of the phone became more and more silent as she listened.

"Are you kidding me?" Aoko Jingu asked in silence.

"No, a normal person wouldn't say something so outrageous if they were lying, right? It's just that what happened to me was a bit outrageous. Aoko, are you willing to believe me?" Kuroba Shido suddenly became affectionate.

Aoko Jingu: "..."
