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

"Um, senior, I'm not that thirsty..."

Kuroba Shido glanced at the bottled water that had just been brought out of the kitchen and was handed to him. He swallowed hard, cold sweat beading on his forehead, but he still refused.

This water...

You can't drink it!

Although the ruthless leader didn't warn him against drinking water this time, Kuroba Shido had learned his lesson from his previous experience.

Especially when checking Onodera Zanne's status, I frequently came across keywords related to drugging...

Although the senior seemed to be an absolutely good person, as the saying goes, you can't judge a book by its cover, and first impressions can be deceiving. If he could, Kuroba Shido would rather go back to that afternoon when he first met the senior.

At the time, he naively thought that his senior was just a simple, rich, and foolish person who was sent by God to give him benefits. Little did he know that all the gifts of fate come with a price tag.

He was only after the small amount of bait the senior threw out, but it turned out she was after his body!

Look, this is the true Lao-Zhuang philosophy!

This senior student is clearly a shrewd capitalist; she knows what it means to play the long game...

"Is that so? Okay then..."

A rare look of disappointment appeared on Onodera Zanne's face, which was usually impassive. It was fleeting, but Kuroba Shido still managed to catch it.

This water...

It's definitely not safe to drink!

Great horror!

Kuroba Shido felt like he had survived a disaster, thankful that he had managed to stick to his principles and hadn't drunk the water his senior had offered him.

"Would you like a drink?" Onodera Zanne put down the water in her hand, then opened the refrigerator, which was filled with all sorts of beverages.

Kuroba Shido's eyes lit up. Great! They were all unopened!

"Then have some..." Kuroba Shido, "unable to be persuaded by such hospitality," finally chose a bottle of his favorite sweet drink and drank it.

After opening it, I gulped down two mouthfuls, which relieved most of my fatigue. I let out a sigh of relief.

"Senior, I didn't expect you to have iced tea!" Kuroba Shido was quite happy. This kind of thing couldn't be found in convenience stores. Before he was transported here, this was his favorite drink.

Unfortunately, once you come here, you can't see this thing anymore. Sometimes you can see it in the import section, and the price has increased several times over.

It has lost its original meaning.

If it's a four-yuan iced tea, it's like a premium liquor if it's chilled. But if it's ten or more yuan, or even more, it's just a beverage that could easily cause diabetes.

Drinking it will only harm your health; it's just a poor person's low-level pleasure...

If you got the free version from your senior's wealthy family, it would be the best of the best!

Wuhu!

Onodera Zanne nodded, a faint smile appearing on her face: "Yeah, I like to buy some things and keep them at home so I don't have to go out to buy them when I want to drink..."

Kuroba Shido nodded in agreement: "Indeed, a very good habit. But senpai, you're still at a disadvantage. When buying iced tea, you should always buy the big bottles. These cans are such a waste..."

"Hmm? Why do you say that?" Onodera Zanne tilted her head and asked "puzzlingly".

"Hey, senior, you don't understand. Come on, let's talk as we walk." Kuroba Shido took the opportunity to put his hand on the doorknob, opened the door, and prepared to run away.

Onodera Zanne nodded: "Okay, Shido-kun, let's talk as we walk..."

"Bang!"

The door to the room was closed, plunging the room into complete darkness, with only the light inside the refrigerator on.

Under the special white light inside the refrigerator, the contents are clearly visible, including various bottles and jars, most of which are aluminum cans that can be drunk directly from the bottle.

If you look closely, you'll also find a faint lip print on the can...

All the aluminum cans have this faint mark on them...

The moment Onodera Zanne opened the refrigerator, a new trap was dug, just waiting for Kuroba Shido to take the bait. The glass of water earlier was taken out on purpose, and even the disappointed expression that Kuroba Shido caught was something Onodera Zanne deliberately let him see...

Everything was designed to make Shido Kuroba subconsciously think that there was something wrong with the water.

Actually, there's nothing wrong with this glass of water, especially compared to the glass of water that Onodera Zanne offered when Kuroba Shido came to the house before. It's perfectly normal!

The most dangerous thing is precisely the safest thing.

Onodera Zanne deliberately led Kuroba Shido into a mental trap, making him believe that the water was dangerous and that she had "seen through" his intentions.

This will allow us to proceed to the next step, the beverage session...

This is why, no matter how many times Kuroba Shido checks, the system's prompt always tells him to run...

Because Onodera Zanne's next move was unpredictable; from the moment he entered the room, Kuroba Shido had no other choice...

All the system can do is make Shido Kuroba run faster.

As for the iced tea... it couldn't possibly be a coincidence. Onodera Zanne went to great lengths to have someone go to China to buy it!

I bought it directly from the factory at the source!

She clearly remembered the wildly nonsensical things Kuroba Shido used to say when she was a child. She realized that the outside world was so big, and that the kind of sweet, energizing drink Kuroba Shido described actually existed, it wasn't a lie...

Unfortunately, the orphans in the orphanage at the time thought that Shido Kuroba was just bragging and might even have some mental issues.

Everyone else didn't believe it, except for Onodera Zanne, who believed what Kuroba Shido said...

After she left the orphanage, she verified everything that Kuroba Shido had said about things in the Dragon Kingdom, and they were all true.

So... she believed what Kuroba Shido said about being reborn, about being transported to Japan to be a handsome young man...

Instead of becoming a handsome young man, he ended up in an orphanage and imprisoned with these Pokémon...

Eh...

Kuroba Shido probably doesn't even remember these words, just like a person won't remember how many boasts they've made.

But Onodera Zannen remembers it very clearly...

Because Kuroba Shido is her most, most, most... important person!

Kamikawa University.

On campus.

"Bye-bye, senior, I'm going up now!"

"Okay, goodbye..."

Onodera Zannen and Kuroba Shido parted ways at the school building. Kuroba Shido waved and then quickly ran away!

Not far away...

"Snap!"

The shutter clicked, and a handsome newsboy wandering around the school captured this moment perfectly...
