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

The third floor of the cafeteria.

The air was unusually quiet.

Kuroba Shido stood next to the seat, one hand still clutching his stomach, his face still bearing the pained expression he had just concocted: "a weak, poor guy suddenly suffering from a gastrointestinal crisis."

However, his expression looks somewhat stiff now.

His escape route was blocked.

front.

Onodera Zannen stood there, a gentle, faint smile on her face.

Behind.

Miyazaki Kiyoshi sat calmly in his seat, with the book beside him.

A gentle touch.

A quiet and aloof atmosphere.

One is standing.

One is sitting.

Their eyes met in the air. Although there was no sound, Kuroba Shido inexplicably felt like a discounted rice ball caught between two knives.

It's even expired.

The slightest movement will result in it being cut open.

Kuroba Shido remained silent.

Kuroba Shido pondered.

Kuroba Shido decides to channel his advisory nature!

"ah."

He raised his hand as if he had just seen Onodera Resonance.

"Onodera-senpai, what a coincidence!"

As soon as he said those words, Shido Kuroba wanted to slap himself.

skillful?

What a joke.

If it were truly a coincidence, he would have transferred ownership of his house to Dahei on the spot.

Incidentally, he doesn't own any houses.

But it is not important.

The important thing is that if it happened to someone else, he could at least barely believe it was a coincidence.

For example, Yamamoto Shinjin.

That rice ball-shaped head can be explained as "having something wrong with his brain" anywhere it appears.

Another example is Ito Fusei.

Although it's a bit transparent, at least it's still a normal person, and it's not impossible for it to pass by.

But what if the target is Onodera Resonance...?

impossible.

It is absolutely impossible.

Every time the senior student appeared, she gave off the feeling that "I already knew where you were, I'm just giving you a chance to admit it yourself."

Kuroba Shido saw through it all.

But I won't say it outright.

Leave a way out for others, so you can meet again when you're on your way out.

Upon hearing Shido Kuroba's voice, Onodera Zannen slowly turned his gaze away from Kiyoshi Miyazaki.

She looked at Kuroba Shido, her smile still gentle.

"Shidou-san."

The sound was very soft.

Like flower petals falling on the water in spring.

But Shido Kuroba felt a chill run down his spine.

"What a coincidence."

Onodera Zannen said softly.

The Black Feather Warrior said, "..."

She admitted it.

She actually went along with it and said it was a coincidence.

This is even scarier than if she had just said, "I came here to see you."

Kuroba Shido's eyes became even clearer.

"Yes, is the senior here for lunch too?"

Onodera Zannen nodded slightly.

"Um."

The Black Feather Warrior said, "..."

it is good.

Another "hmm".

This topic can't be continued.

If you keep asking, it will turn into a deadly three-part barrage of questions like, "What are you eating, senior?", "Are you alone, senior?", and "Why are you standing right in front of my escape route, senior?"

Shido Kuroba decided to end the exchange.

immediately.

immediately.

just now.

"Um, senior, Minister."

Kuroba Shido clutched his stomach, a strong yet weak smile on his face.

"My stomach is a little upset, I need to go to the restroom first."

Miyazaki Kiyoshi looked at him.

He didn't speak.

Onodera Zannen was also looking at him.

He remained silent as well.

The fact that neither of them spoke made Shido Kuroba feel even more guilty.

No.

Say something, will you?

Your silence is making me very scared, okay?

Just as Kuroba Shido was preparing to grit his teeth and continue moving forward.

A fair hand reached out.

He was holding a pack of tissues.

The packaging was very clean.

It also has a faint floral scent.

It's not that cheap, pungent scent, but a very light, comfortable, and gentle fragrance, just like the scent of Onodera Zanne herself.

"Shidou-san."

Onodera Kanyin smiled and spoke.

"I just heard you say your stomach hurts."

"Here, take this."

Kuroba Shido was stunned.

He looked at the pack of tissues.

For a moment, a touch of emotion welled up deep within me.

Senior...

What a kind person.

What is this?

This is a timely help.

This is true human kindness.

This is a warm helping hand extended to a weak and poor person on the edge of a battlefield.

He is completely different from those who only know how to torment him, test him, threaten him, spread rumors about him, and cause his social death.

Shido Kuroba took the tissue.

"Thank you, senior."

Onodera Zanne's smile became a little gentler.

"You are welcome."

This moment.

Kuroba Shido even really wanted to say something.

The senior student is a good person.

And then the next second.

He subconsciously looked at the black words that appeared above Onodera Zannen's head.

[Current Status: Quiet, jealous, target confirmed to be attempting escape, toilet route determined to be the only escape route, considering whether to wait at the door, maintaining high vigilance towards Miyazaki Kiyoshi, reassessing threat level, planning to extend contact time with Shido.]

[Salted Fish Guide: Run! It's a yandere!!!]

The Black Feather Warrior said, "..."

He took back what he had just said: "The senior is a good person."

It was collected cleanly.

Not a single one left.

This isn't a tissue.

This is a gentle blockade!

And this floral scent... Is it really a floral scent, or is it something strange?

Thinking of this, Shido Kuroba's eyes became completely clear.

run.

We have to run.

If he doesn't run now, he'll be turned into a limited-edition meal on the third floor of Kamikawa University today.

"Um, senior, Minister, I'm really in a bit of a hurry."

Kuroba Shido clutched his stomach, his expression serious.

"Human dignity does not allow me to stay here any longer."

Kiyoshi Miyazaki: "..."

Onodera Zannen: "..."

Without waiting for their reply, Kuroba Shido immediately limped toward the toilet.

My leg isn't fully healed yet.

But at this moment, his speed was actually much faster than usual.

If the conditions weren't so restrictive, he would even like to directly activate the "three-second true man mode".

Of course, considering that this skill was too expensive and that using it for escaping from the toilet would be somewhat of an insult to his trump card, Shido Kuroba ultimately held back.

soon.

Shido Kuroba's figure disappeared around the corner of the third-floor corridor.

Only Miyazaki Kiyoshi and Onodera Tsuneo remained at the table.

The air fell silent again.

Miyazaki Kiyoshi put down his chopsticks and looked calmly at the girl in front of him who was a little older than him.

Onodera Zannen didn't sit down immediately; he just stood there with a gentle, faint smile on his face.

There was a table between the two people.

There was clearly no hostility shown.

But the students on the third floor around them instinctively lowered their breathing.

Kiyoshi Miyazaki had an impression of Tsuneo Onodera.

Of course there are.

Chairman of the Student Union of Shinkawa University.

Head of the Archery Department.

She is usually low-key, easy-going, and has a good character. Her presence at school isn't particularly striking, yet no one can truly ignore her.

Because her surname is Onodera.

The King of Kansai...

The only leading power in the Kansai region.

The Onodera family.

That was a family whose power was not in Tokyo, but was by no means weaker than the Jingu family and the Miyazaki family.

Because her roots are in the Kansai region, unlike the Jingu family and the Miyazaki family which are directly based in Tokyo, many students at school only know Onodera Zanne as a "gentle upperclassman," "student council president," and "archery club president."

But Miyazaki Kiyoshi wouldn't.

She knew very well what the surname Onodera meant.

It was also clear that the gentle, smiling senior in front of her couldn't possibly be just passing by.

Miyazaki Kiyoshi raised his eyes.

Onodera Zannen lowered his eyes slightly.

Their eyes met once again...

Of course, there is also the most important point: like Shido Kuroba, Kiyoshi Miyazaki couldn't figure out anything about Onodera Zannen!

Hello, Miyazaki-san...

This is the result Miyazaki Kiyoshi obtained after spying. Unlike the chaos on Kuroba Shido's side, Onodera Zanne's side was too clear, as if it was deliberately shown to her!

There are two possibilities. One is that Onodera Zanne is just as she appears on the surface, genuinely kind, gentle, and approachable.

The second type...

Onodera Zanne deliberately showed it to her!

Be wary of her!

"May I sit here?" Onodera Zanne asked with a smile, pointing to the seat in front of Miyazaki Kiyoshi.

"No." Miyazaki Seiji calmly refused, his expression unchanged.

The surrounding onlookers: "???"

Is this what a battle between the strong is like? It's terrifying!
