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

Kuroda Ryoshin remained silent.

The news department fell silent.

Ito Fusei also fell silent.

Shido Kuroba is still posing with the "golf club" he took off the broom.

Swing it to the left.

Swing it to the right.

He even bent down slightly, assuming an extremely standard... no, extremely abstract hitting posture towards a non-existent golf ball in the air.

call--

One swing.

The sound of something cutting through the air rang out.

A boy in the front row of the news department, who was holding a voice recorder, instinctively shrank back, his face turning pale.

"See that?" Shido Kuroba said earnestly. "That's the charm of sports."

Kuroda Ryoshin: "..."

"Kuroba-kun, I have to remind you that golf clubs are not normally shaped like this."

"Nonsense!" Black Feather Warrior retorted confidently. "Normally, I shouldn't be this poor!"

Kuroda Ryoshin: "..."

"You can't deny a poor person's determination to pursue an upper-class sport just because they can't afford proper golf clubs!"

Kuroba Shido became increasingly grief-stricken as he spoke.

"What your news department rejected today wasn't just a broomstick, but the dream of a young boy from the bottom of society striving for success!"

The news department staff: "..."

Ito Bosei: "..."

Yamamoto's eyes welled up with tears.

"Shido, well said!"

Kuroba Shido swung the stick back and hit Yamamoto Sento on the head.

"Don't you dare interrupt!"

Mr. Yamamoto: "???"

"Why did you hit me? I was clearly supporting you!"

"Because your head is round, it feels good to the touch."

Mr. Yamamoto: "..."

Looking at the small red mark on Yamamoto's head, Ito Fusei felt inexplicably relieved.

Cool.

This feels so good.

No wonder Shido Kuroba uses the Noah Spark on Yamamoto so often; it's a real stress reliever.

Kuroda Ryoshin took a deep breath and forcefully steered the conversation back on track.

"Kuroba-kun, no matter how you explain it, the fact remains that you barged into the newspaper club with a golf club."

"Intrusion?"

Kuroba Shido stared wide-eyed, as if he had been greatly insulted.

"I'm here on a friendly visit!"

"Have you ever seen anyone kill someone with a golf club?"

Kuroda Ryoshin remained silent for a second.

"It's in the movie."

"That's a movie!"

"It also appears in real news."

"That's abroad!"

"Neon colors are also available."

"That's a distinguished farmer!"

Kuroda Ryoshin: "..."

The news department staff: "..."

Where did you learn this logic from?

Kuroba Shido sneered.

"I'm a poor, kind, frail, handsome young man from Tokyo with my left leg in a cast, coming here for a friendly visit with a homemade golf club, and you're accusing me of trespassing?"

"Kuroda-kun, you really have a black heart."

Kuroda Ryoshin adjusted his glasses.

"News needs a perspective."

"Is this the right angle?"

Kuroba Shido slammed his stick into the ground.

"You're looking down on people, behaving dishonestly, speaking in reverse, and being utterly immoral!"

Kuroda Ryoshin: "..."

A very dirty way to curse.

But it is very contagious.

I even wanted to write it down.

"Make a note of this," Kuroda Yoshishin said, turning his head.

The news department staff member next to him immediately lowered his head and started typing.

Look at people askance, act rudely, speak in reverse, and be utterly immoral.

The Black Feather Warrior said, "???"

"You fucking still remember?"

Kuroda Yoshishin looked very serious.

"material."

"Your material is nobody's business!"

Kuroba Shido almost swung the pole at him, but luckily Ito Fusei reacted quickly and grabbed him around the waist.

"Calm down, Shidou!"

"Calm down my ass, I'm going to crack his skull open right now!"

Ito Fusei clung tightly to Kuroba Shido, lowering his voice.

"If you hit him now, tomorrow he might edit the video to make it look like you got so angry for Miyazaki-san that you stormed the news department with a golf club!"

Shido Kuroba froze.

Ito Fusei continues to increase his bets.

"Then add a sentence after the title: Jingu Aoko is suspected of being dumped, and Kuroba Shido stands up for his new love in public."

The Black Feather Warrior said, "..."

hiss.

What a vicious title.

Is this something a human could write?

Kuroda Ryoshin pushed up his glasses, neither denying it nor denying it; in fact, there was a hint of admiration in his eyes.

Ito Mokoko really understands the news department.

Kuroba Shido slowly looked at Kuroda Ryoshin.

[Current state: Excited, nervous, anticipating the boy losing control and taking action; I've already come up with thirty-seven sensational headlines and am preparing to send private messages to Jingu Aoko and Miyazaki Kiyoshi simultaneously.]

[Salted Fish Guide: Immediately admit you're a mysterious gigolo, cooperate with the news department to create a top campus celebrity persona, get a boyfriend, promote products, fleece your fans, and enjoy yourself to the fullest!]

The Black Feather Warrior said, "..."

Shut up, you dog system!

This isn't a question of whether or not to fight.

The question is whether I can leave Tokyo alive after the battle.

Kuroda Ryoshin, that heartless bastard, is actually planning to tattle on Jingu Aoko and Miyazaki Kiyoshi!

If you send a headline like that, Miyazaki Kiyoshi might just give you a cold look and say he's stupid.

It's different for Aoko Jingu.

That vicious woman really did have a gun!

Kuroba Shido took a deep breath, trying to soften his expression.

"Kuroda-kun, actually, I didn't come here today to start a fight."

Kuroda Ryoshin: "Oh?"

"I'm here to discuss cooperation."

"cooperate?"

The news department staff immediately perked up.

Kuroba Shido looked serious.

"You can write about me."

Kuroda's eyes lit up.

"real?"

"Of course it's true." Kuroba Shido nodded. "But you have to pay."

The news department staff: "..."

Kuroda Ryoshin: "..."

Ito Bosei: "..."

Yamamoto Senjin: "As expected of you, Shido!"

Kuroba Shido started counting on his fingers.

"Portrait rights, reputation rights, compensation for emotional distress, material usage fees, story adaptation fees, authorization fees for the title of 'mysterious gigolo,' maintenance fees for the image of the Tokyo pretty boy, and medical compensation for the recurrence of my leg pain after I was angered by you."

"Oh, and there's also the compensation for emotional distress caused to my dog, Dahei, who was frightened."

Kuroda Ryoshin frowned.

Who is Dahei?

"My roommate."

"A student too?"

"Rat."

Kuroda Ryoshin: "..."

The news department staff: "..."

Kuroba Shido slammed his hand on the table.

"What, don't mice have rights?"

"Your news department even discriminates against mice?"

Kuroda Ryoshin rubbed his temples.

He had originally prepared three plans.

The first set involves inducing Kuroba Shido to lose control and editing the footage to show him beating up the news department for the sake of a certain rich girl.

The second plan involves forcing Kuroba Shido to admit to having ambiguous relationships with several young ladies, creating a "gold digger" theme.

The third option is to send the videos to Aoko Jingu and Kiyoshi Miyazaki respectively if Shido Kuroba tries to deny it, and let the two "living fathers" judge for themselves.

But he didn't expect it.

Kuroba Shido doesn't understand logic at all.

This guy just rode a mouse and crushed logic.

"Kuroba-kun, our news department doesn't have that budget."

Kuroba Shido's face darkened.

"Why would you write such trivial news if you're broke?"

Kuroda Ryoshin: "..."

"You're taking pictures of me without any money? Trying to freeload, huh?"

"Shouldn't your news department at least have basic professional ethics?"

"We don't," Kuroda Yoshishin blurted out instinctively.

The news department staff: "..."

The Black Feather Warrior said, "..."

The air suddenly became quiet.

Kuroda Ryoshin realized what he had just said.

But it was too late.

Kuroba Shido's eyes lit up.

"Come on, did you record this part?"

Ito Fusei silently raised his phone.

"It's been recorded."

Kuroda Ryoshin: "???"
