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

In Kaoru Amamiya's apartment.

Shido Kuroba stared at his phone screen, lost in deep, serious thought... A charmingly melancholic version of a poor, handsome guy from the Tokyo countryside pondering!

"How did you come to know Shimotsuki Takari?"

This statement sounds very calm.

But in Shido Kuroba's eyes, this was no ordinary problem. It was like an interrogation light shining on his face, and someone across the table holding a notebook, ready to record his crimes.

Kuroba Shido's mind began to rewind wildly.

Frosty moon and high glass.

Minister...

Old oxen and horses...

That good-for-nothing brat...

And then there's this incredibly handsome guy...

When exactly did these lines get tangled together?

Wait, how did Miyazaki Kiyoshi know about Shimotsuki Takari?

Kuroba Shido narrowed his eyes.

His contact with Shimotsuki Takari should not have been known to Miyazaki Kiyoshi, unless someone leaked the information.

Kaoru Amamiya?

impossible.

Although Lao Niu Ma is incompetent, stubborn, has no food at home, and was caught lying, she is currently in the kitchen heating milk for Shimotsuki Airi, and her intelligence shouldn't be too good to betray him for the time being.

Shimotsuki Airi?

Nor is it possible.

The good-for-nothing brat was just scared off by Big Black and is now lying on the sofa hugging a milk cup, looking at his backpack as if he were staring into some kind of abyss that could swallow people whole.

Shuangyue Gaoli?

Less likely.

That woman herself was afraid of being exposed, so how could she possibly give him away willingly?

Then there's only one answer left.

Kuroba Shido slowly lowered his head, opened his phone, and accessed the Kamikawa University campus network.

News Department.

Is that you guys?

It must be you guys, right?

A few seconds later, he found a very glaring post on the campus network.

The title is also very jarring.

"Shocking! A mysterious gigolo was escorted to the school gate by a mature beauty in the early morning; a new storyline seems to be unfolding!"

The Black Feather Warrior said, "..."

grass!!!

Enthusiastic horse, it really is you guys who buy these machines!

He clicked on it.

The photo is blurry.

But the blotting was done with exceptional skill.

In the picture, he got out of the car in the morning, with Shimotsuki Takari standing next to him. Although the picture wasn't very clear, her mature, beautiful, elegant, and composed demeanor, which didn't seem like that of an ordinary parent, was still captured in the photo.

The comments below have gone completely off-topic.

"Another one?"

How many lines of intrigue are there surrounding this mysterious gigolo?

"This person looks so mature and intimidating."

"I knew he wasn't your average gigolo; this is clearly a high-level one."

"Senior Yamamoto is in danger!"

Kuroba Shido's face darkened.

He continued scrolling down.

The poster concealed their anonymity.

But Shido Kuroba doesn't need any evidence.

This angle.

This kind of title.

This is so unethical.

Who else could it be but the news department?

In fact, this matter may not have anything to do with the Information Department.

After all, there are so many students at Kamikawa University who are just watching the drama unfold, and there are plenty of people who secretly take photos, submit them, or post anonymously.

But Shido Kuroba doesn't care.

He has decided to hold the press department responsible for this.

The most important thing in life is to have a clear target of hatred.

Otherwise, life will lose its direction.

Kuroba Shido gritted his teeth.

"You bastards in the news department, you just wait!"

Kaoru Amamiya poked her head out from the kitchen.

"Hey kid, who are you calling names again?"

Without looking up, Kuroba Shido sighed, gazed at the sky at a 45-degree angle, and looked as if he were contemplating life... You'll understand when you get to my age!

"An unjust fate, and my miserable life..."

Amamiya Kaoru: "..."

She quietly shrank back... This kid's brain is acting up again.

Kuroba Shido stared at the post, his fingers tightening little by little.

"If I don't avenge this, your Uncle Kuroba will be someone you raised!"

Big Black poked its nose out from inside the schoolbag.

Kuroba Shido immediately reached out and pressed it back down.

"Don't come out, this isn't the time for family dramas."

Big Black: "Squeak?"

After confirming the source of Shimotsuki Takari's exposure, Kuroba Shido felt a little more at ease.

As long as Miyazaki Kiyoshi didn't know it out of thin air, there's still room for explanation.

He lowered his head and began to reply to Miyazaki Kiyoshi.

"Your Excellency, this is a long story."

The other side replied quickly.

"You can make this brief."

Kuroba Shido remained silent.

Damn it, that inherently evil minister!

Why wasn't there any build-up at all?

The plot in the game isn't like that. People should be allowed to think about it slowly. They should click "confirm" after they've thought it through before proceeding with the next part of the story!

Damn it, who changed the plot of this movie?!

Kuroba Shido thought for a moment and began to organize his thoughts.

"Simply put, I once met a primary school student who was lost on the path of life on a very ordinary afternoon..."

Kiyoshi Miyazaki: "Shimotsuki Airi?"

The Black Feather Warrior said, "..."

So sinister?

They guessed the password before I even said anything! Game designer, I know you're watching, give me a cut! Damn it!

Kuroba said, "Minister, you are wise."

Kiyoshi Miyazaki: "Continue."

Kuroba Shido took a deep breath and began to beautify it a little.

"At that time, Shimotsuki Airi was wandering outside alone because of some minor family conflicts, and the situation was very dangerous."

"As a law-abiding, helpful, and morally upright student of Kamikawa University, I certainly cannot sit idly by."

"So I took on the social responsibility and safely returned her to her guardian."

After sending it, Kuroba Shido looked at the three lines of text and was quite satisfied.

perfect.

He wasn't lying.

At most, it's just a literary embellishment of the details.

This is called narrative optimization.

A few seconds later.

Kiyoshi Miyazaki replied.

"You wouldn't be that kind."

The black-feathered warrior asked, "?"

He stared at the screen, a question mark slowly appearing above his head.

Immediately afterwards, the next message arrived.

You're lying.

The Black Feather Warrior said, "..."

As Amamiya Kaoru passed by carrying a glass of milk, she noticed his dark expression and couldn't help but ask what was wrong.

"Hey kid, what's wrong with you now?"

Kuroba Shido looked up, his eyes clear.

"Teacher, someone is slandering my noble character."

Amamiya Kaoru remained silent for two seconds.

"Kid, are you sure that's called defamation?"

The Black Feather Warrior said, "..."

I can't stay in this house anymore.

They are all enemies.

He lowered his head and continued replying.

"Minister, what you're saying is a bit hurtful."

Kiyoshi Miyazaki: "Given Shimotsuki Airi's personality, if she had been sulking or running away from home at the time, she most likely wouldn't have readily accepted help from strangers."

Kuroba Shido's brow twitched.

Kiyoshi Miyazaki continues to post.

"She will first keep her distance, then observe the other person. If the other person tries to control her, she will verbally retaliate in a very calm tone."

Kuroba Shido remained silent.

That description is somewhat accurate.

Kiyoshi Miyazaki: "If it were an ordinary person, they might not bother with her because she's young."

The Black Feather Warrior said, "..."

Kiyoshi Miyazaki: "But you're different."

Kuroba Shido stared at the screen.

Kiyoshi Miyazaki: "You're going to hold a grudge."

The Black Feather Warrior said, "???"

Kiyoshi Miyazaki: "And there's a high probability they'll retaliate on the spot."

The Black Feather Warrior said, "..."

Miyazaki Kiyoshi: "So, you weren't just kindly taking her home."

Shido Kuroba fell silent.

He recalled Shimotsuki Airi's calm little face at the time, and the moment when his blood pressure rose from anger at the elementary school.

wrong.

That's not the point.

The key point is how Miyazaki Kiyoshi's analysis sounds so much like that of an eyewitness.

Kuroba Shido lowered his head and typed, his expression very serious.

"Minister, is that how you see me?"

Kiyoshi Miyazaki replied quickly.

"right."

The Black Feather Warrior said, "..."

Awesome!!!
