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

"Ding!"

The elevator doors opened.

Onodera Zanne walked in front, while Kuroba Shido followed behind, limping along.

Yes, we made it through.

As for the senior student, her earnestness was hard to dissuade him from, and besides, he was always soft-hearted and couldn't bear to see her looking so pitiful, so...

Okay, actually, by the time Kuroba Shido tried to run away, his clothes had already been grabbed by Onodera Zannen.

The Black Feather Warrior said, "..."

Hey!

Along the way, Kuroba Shido was forced to agree and came along, kindly accompanying the "careless" senior to retrieve her forgotten items. The two of them were extremely cunning along the way.

Before the elevator doors opened, Onodera Zannen walked alongside Kuroba Shido, or even slightly behind, seemingly to prevent Kuroba Shido from running away.

On Kuroba Shido's side, they kept looking for an opportunity, trying to find an excuse to run away, like spraining their ankle or something...

But the thought that I only have one good leg left, and if I sprain it again, I'll be in a wheelchair, and there are several possibilities then.

One option is to be taken directly to the home of a vicious woman and subjected to inhumane humiliation and beatings every day; the other is to be taken in by a kind-hearted senior student and then subjected to another form of inhumane exploitation...

No matter which one it is...

No, there seems to be another way.

I almost forgot about that old codger!

Kuroba Shido looked around and discovered that Old Ox Horse was the only good person around!

And he's the kind of guy who's really good at getting gold coins. He's the oldest, that's true, but he's also the easiest to bully.

Looking around, everyone is so sinister. Some have their doors open and closed, some are malicious, and some have superhuman intelligence and uncanny predictive abilities...

They were all quite young, but they were all very skilled.

Why can't we learn from those old folks who are honest, old, lazy, and have no skills? Wouldn't that be better? Wouldn't everyone be happy that way? Why do we have to do it this way?

Okay, now everyone's unhappy. You're so cold, selfish, and heartless...

"Snap!"

"Shido-kun, over here."

Onodera Zanne opened the apartment door, blinked her clear eyes, and stared intently at Kuroba Shido, seemingly not planning to go in before he did.

I will absolutely not let Shido Kuroba out of my sight.

We finally managed to trick them into coming; if they run away, we'll lose a lot of money...

Don't think that Shido Kuroba is incapable of doing something like this!

Not only could Shido Kuroba do it, but he did it without any psychological burden. As someone who had been in contact with Shido Kuroba since childhood, Onodera Zanne could easily figure out such things.

Kuroba Shido had done this to her before.

They said it was some kind of game of hide-and-seek, but Kuroba Shido ran off to a secluded spot, hid, and slept all afternoon. He then insisted that he hid so well that she didn't notice him, which was incredibly lame...

Having learned her lesson in such matters, Onodera Zannen silently remembered it and would not expose Kuroba Shido's "well-intentioned" lie.

She believed that Kuroba Shido must have his own reasons for saying that, but... as long as he had his reasons, she wouldn't fall for it again and would reject any "good intentions".

Under the watchful gaze of Onodera Zanne, Kuroba Shido had no choice but to grit his teeth and walk towards her, his feet feeling as if they were filled with cement...

This is not an adjective; Shido Kuroba still has a cast on one of his feet.

Da da da……

As soon as Shido Kuroba stepped inside, his senior slammed the door shut.

Kuroba Shido's heart skipped a beat, and a hint of undisguised panic flashed in his eyes... Please spare me, senpai, I'm still a student!

"The wind is so strong..."

After closing the door himself, Onodera Zannen smiled and spoke softly.

The Black Feather Warrior said, "..."

Bull Demon's senior, you'll see if I believe you or not!

As I said before, what happens to others can be explained by coincidence, but when it happens to a senior, it can only be a conspiracy by her!

It's no exaggeration to say that if Onodera Zannen hadn't completely disappeared yesterday, Kuroba Shido would have immediately suspected her!

This is absolutely ridiculous! I went out for a meal and they skipped out on the bill, then I got caught red-handed, and finally, they all came to my rescue when I got home...

If this isn't a setup orchestrated by capital, then what is it?

The senior student comes from a wealthy and privileged family; she is clearly the embodiment and synonym of capital!

It's always better to be careful...

Come on, you evil senior, I've seen through all your thoughts. Before me, Detective Kuroba, no evil will have a place to hide!

"Shido-kun, please sit in the living room for a while, I'll be there as soon as possible..."

After saying that, Onodera Zanne walked towards the bedroom, leaving the door open.

One reason was to make Kuroba Shido see clearly her rummaging through things and the "accidental" appearance of a girl's personal belongings; the other was to prevent Kuroba Shido from running away.

The failure of the previous plan and their soft-heartedness have made Kuroba Shido more vigilant, and most of their time and energy will now be spent preventing him from escaping.

This is the price of being soft-hearted and failing!

She made her own choice, and she accepts it. However, this kind of thing will not happen again. Last time is the last time!

"What? There's no mysterious little drink to offer? Did I misunderstand my senior?" Kuroba Shido was shocked. He thought that as soon as he came in, his senior would immediately bring him a little drink of unknown origin.

It seems he thought too badly of his senior...

To express his apology, Shido Kuroba decided to check on his senior's condition.

"[Current state: thinking, repressed, summarizing the experience of the last failure, thinking about how to successfully pin the boy down next time, and when alone with the boy, strange thoughts always keep popping into my head...]"

"【Salted Fish Guide: Run! It's a yandere!!!】"

"hiss……"

Shido Kuroba gasped. This was another exceptional case, and it happened to his senior again.

Logically speaking, human emotions fluctuate; they look different one second and the next. After a period of time, the same descriptive words will almost never appear, even for a sleeping person.

There will be slight changes and adjustments, and as a result, the word "suppression" has become a recurring word in Onodera Zanne's vocabulary.

There's also a guide to salted fish...

It's like it's broken, the same repetitive message keeps popping up...

Nonsense, do you think I don't know to run?

Damn it!

Look at me, can I even run now?!

Can you even win a fight? If you start to resist now, you might just provoke the other party and unleash their beastly nature, and they might just take care of him. Anyway, the door is closed now. It's a high-end residential area with excellent soundproofing. Even if you scream your lungs out, it won't do any good!

Everyone knows that getting into the University of Tokyo is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so you should study hard and stuff...

I went to walk the horses, do I need you to tell me that?

I know there's money in banks, why don't you just let me rob a bank?

While Kuroba Shido was having a mental battle, Onodera Zanne had already finished packing and came out of the room. Kuroba Shido keenly noticed that Onodera Zanne had a white headband on her head.

This headband is the one that Kuroba Shido said looked good before...

Onodera Zanne came back specifically to retrieve this headband!

Kuroba Shido breathed a sigh of relief...

Oh, what a scare! It was just a headband. He thought it was a headband...

"Are you done yet, senior? Is there anything else you didn't forget?" Kuroba Shido kindly reminded her, afraid that she might use this as an excuse to come back again.

"Yes, I've got it. Thank you, Shido-kun, for coming back with me."

Onodera Zannen blinked and sincerely thanked Kurobashi.

Shido Kuroba was moved once again!

Senior, it seems I misunderstood you...

"By the way, Shido-kun, would you like some water?"

Onodera Zannen seemed to remember something, went into the kitchen, poured a glass of water for Kuroba Shido, and handed it to him.

"Here, Kuroba-kun, have some water."

The Black Feather Warrior said, "..."

When he didn't say it...
