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

It was past 1 a.m.

In a luxury apartment in Tokyo, the city night has fallen, and only the scattered lights of distant high-rise buildings can be seen through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Onodera Zannen is still awake.

She sat in front of the computer in the study, wearing a light-colored nightgown with a thin knitted cardigan casually draped over her shoulders. Her long hair fell softly over her chest, and the light illuminated her profile, making her look like a gentle silhouette without any threat.

If someone saw her at this moment, their first reaction would probably be that this student council president is just an excellent senior student with good habits, a strict schedule, and who is still handling school affairs late at night.

The premise is.

That person didn't see what was on her computer screen.

The screen displays a very complex relationship diagram.

The central node has only one name.

Kuroba Shido.

The branches extending outward from this name are dense and numerous, like a spider web woven with patience. Next to each node is a photo, name, identity, family background, contact record with Kuroba Shido, and a risk assessment written by Onodera Zannen himself.

The mouse pointer is hovering over one of the nodes.

Kaoru Amamiya.

The school doctor is older than the target, has a relaxed lifestyle, and is of average financial means. He used to use the infirmary as his second activity point for a long time. He is lazy but has a clear tolerance for the target, calling him "brat" or "dead brat". He has a close relationship with Shimotsuki Takari.

Onodera Zannen tapped the mouse lightly with his fingertips, his eyes calm.

The Amamiya Kaoru route is very troublesome.

It's not because Amamiya Kaoru herself is so strong, but because she has Shimotsuki Takari behind her.

If she were just an ordinary school doctor, Onodera Zanne would have many ways to make her disappear from Kamikawa University. The process could be gentle, dignified, or she could make herself feel that it was very inappropriate for her to continue staying there.

But Shimotsuki Takagami is different.

The Shimotsuki family doesn't flaunt its power openly, but that doesn't mean it's weak.

Directly targeting Amamiya Kaoru would easily expose her motives.

Therefore, we cannot use overly harsh methods.

She created a new note below the Amamiya Kaoru node.

"Option 1: Public pressure, keywords: school doctor, male student, spending the night together, older man dating younger woman, professional ethics pressure, forcing him to voluntarily apply for transfer or reassignment."

After writing it, Onodera Zannen quietly looked at it for two seconds, then changed the words "transferring to another school" to "taking office at another school".

More accurate.

It is also gentler.

At least that's how it appears from the text.

She continued reading.

Aoko Jingu.

The eldest daughter of the Jingu family, she is highly respected at school and comes from a powerful family. Her emotions are more outwardly expressed than Miyazaki Kiyoshi's. She shows obvious interest in her target and may react intensely to public opinion and possessiveness. Risk rating: High.

Onodera paused for a moment, then added "requires continuous monitoring" to the risk rating of Jingu Aoko.

Aoko Jingu is not the most terrifying type.

But she's troublesome enough.

She wasn't the type to sit quietly at the chessboard and deduce moves; she was more like someone who, once ignited, would simply overturn the chessboard.

The difficulty with this kind of opponent lies not in judging whether she will make a move, but in judging when she will lose control.

Next item.

Kiyoshi Miyazaki.

The only daughter of the Miyazaki family, she has a closed, high-functioning personality structure and is suspected of having the ability to read abnormal information. She has a special interest in observing targets and can legally restrain them as the head of a club. Risk rating: extremely high.

Onodera Zannen looked at the name, his eyes darkening slightly.

Kiyoshi Miyazaki is in danger.

Her danger lies not in her status or the resources of the Miyazaki family, but in her quietness.

Quiet people tend not to make silly mistakes at crucial moments.

Furthermore, Onodera Zannen dislikes being seen through.

Especially Miyazaki Kiyoshi's gaze, which seems to be able to dissect someone into rows of data and rearrange them without him even saying a word.

She added after Miyazaki Kiyoshi's point.

"Direct confrontation is costly, so we need to avoid giving them more private information about the target. If necessary, we can use their sense of rules and community framework to restrict their actions in reverse."

Next up is Shimotsuki Takari.

One of the core figures of the Shimotsuki family, a professional in the field of psychology, the mentor of Amamiya Kaoru, and the mother of Shimotsuki Airi. She has a history of contact with the target, but the specific reasons for the contact are currently unknown. Risk rating: medium to high. Note: Do not touch directly.

Onodera Zannen did not stay with Shimotsuki Takari for long.

This woman is not a direct competitor.

At least it doesn't seem so at the moment.

But she acts as a support, holding up Amamiya Kaoru and Shimotsuki Airi, and may also intervene in Miyazaki Kiyoshi's unusual situation due to her professional status.

This kind of person should not be underestimated.

Then there's Shimotsuki Airi.

A primary school student, the daughter of Shimotsuki Takari, who calls Amamiya Kaoru "Ame-chan". She has had past contact with the target, and there are suspected incidents such as hush money, getting lost, and escorting. She is a young variable with a low risk rating, but it should be noted that she may become a link between Amamiya Kaoru and Shimotsuki Takari's target.

Onodera Zannen quietly looked at the record and ultimately did not make any further changes.

The children can be left aside for the time being.

Unless she really starts taking up Shido's time frequently.

Otherwise, there's no need to do anything about it.

She continued to slide the mouse.

The two ordinary male branches closest to the central node are Yamamoto Shinji and Ito Fusei.

Yamamoto ancestors.

One of the target's close friends in class, nicknamed "Rice Ball Head," is severely love-struck, has an overactive ability to make emotional associations, and is prone to making incorrect assumptions about the women around the target. He has extremely high frequency of contact with the target, and his risk rating is medium to high.

Onodera Zannen looked at Yamamoto's photo, his expression unusually subtle.

This person doesn't look like an opponent.

But often, trouble doesn't come from the opponent.

It could also come from an idiot.

The danger of a fool is that he doesn't need to know the truth to make the situation extremely complicated with completely wrong assumptions.

Onodera Zannen wrote in the notes.

"Uncontrollable sources of public opinion may mislead the target's judgment or be used by the target to divert attention."

She then clicked on Ito Fusei's branch.

One of the target's close friends in class, with a low profile, tends to be a rational critic, possesses some observational skills, but is conservative in action. Risk rating: Medium. Note: May become a witness or reminder when the target tries to escape.

Onodera Zanne's evaluation of Ito Fusei is more consistent.

This kind of person doesn't suddenly explode like Yamamoto Shinto.

But he will see many things.

People who can see a lot can also become a problem if they don't handle things properly.

Finally, Onodera Zannen moved the mouse to a node that looked very out of place.

Big Black.

The photo shows a black mouse.

The notes below are longer than many others.

The rodent companion that Shido Kuroba had been carrying and caring for for a long time is suspected of having cohabited with the target. The target refers to him as a "family member" and admits that he has a "wife and children". His life trajectory highly overlaps with that of the target during his impoverished period. Risk rating: Special.

Onodera Zanne stared at Daikoku's photo, her expression devoid of any hint of humor.

She did not underestimate her opponent just because he was a mouse.

Taking enemies seriously was something the Onodera family taught her from a young age.

Even if the opponent is just a mouse.

In particular, this mouse even lived with Shido.

cohabitation.

This word made Onodera Zannen's fingertips pause for half a second.

not human.

It's a rat.

But they did live together.

She quietly dragged the "Big Black" node closer to the center of Kuroba Shido, and then added a new line in the notes.

"No clear ability to seize the target's emotional priority has been found, so no action will be taken at this time."

A brief pause.

She added another sentence.

"If it is subsequently found that it has an excessive influence on target time, attention, or residential choices, pharmacological removal may be considered."

After finishing writing, Onodera Zanne looked at the four words "drug expulsion" with a calm expression.

She certainly wasn't the type to randomly poison rats.

Unless necessary.

But she had heard that Miyazaki Kiyoshi seemed to have had similar ideas about how to deal with Daikoku.

From a certain perspective, this proves that they have reached a consensus on at least one thing.

Rats are not automatically exempt from legal protections simply because they are rats.

The relationship diagram continues to unfold.

She dragged the new node to the other side.

Ritsuki Sawamura.

Overseas background, related to the Sawamura family, pink hair, highly likely to be an old acquaintance of the target, prone to extreme emotional fluctuations, obvious tendency to be a loser, has a strong obsession with the target, but lacks the ability to act and stability, risk rating: low.

Onodera Zannen looked at Sawamura Rigetsu's information and remained silent for a few seconds.

This information is incomplete.

Ritsuki Sawamura's appearance was sudden, and much information has not yet been filled in, but based on the existing records, she doesn't resemble Kiyoshi Miyazaki or Aoko Jingu.

She gets flushed too easily.

Too easy to break through its defenses.

It's too easy to expose yourself.

This kind of person is not without threat, but most of the time her threats will hurt herself first.

Onodera Zannen typed in the evaluation section.

Category: Loser

She glanced at it and then added more.

"It can be ignored if necessary, but we need to prevent them from engaging in high-noise behavior due to feelings of failure."

After finishing writing, she placed the node for Sawamura Ritsuki on the outer edge.

It's very far.

At least farther than Amamiya Kaoru.

Far beyond Aoko Shrine.

Even more so than Miyazaki Kiyoyuki.

Currently, aside from certain very special beings, such as Yamamoto Sento, an uncontrollable rice ball, and Daikoku, a rat-like enemy who lived with Shido, the most dangerous remaining threats are still Miyazaki Kiyoshi and Jingu Aoko.

Kiyoshi Miyazaki is about rules and analysis.

Jingu Aoko represents both identity and outburst.

Kaoru Amamiya is a close caregiver, and her professional identity is special.

Therefore, Kaoru Amamiya must be moved first.

It can't be too fast.

Going too fast will attract the attention of Shimotsuki Takagi.

It can't be too dirty.

It's too dirty and it will expose the Onodera family's hand.

The best approach is to let the school speak for itself, let the students let their opinions circulate, and let Amamiya Kaoru lose her comfort zone at Kamikawa University amidst the public opinion surrounding the "close relationship between the school doctor and male students."

She doesn't need to be destroyed.

All she needs to do is leave.

Onodera Zanne saved the plan document and named it "Environmental Cleanup".

Then she turned off the computer.

The study darkened, with only a sliver of cold city light streaming in through the window.

Onodera Zanne stood up, her bare feet stepping onto the soft carpet. Her nightgown clung gently to her legs with her movements, her slender waistline appearing quiet and soft under the thin fabric. Her long hair slipped down her shoulders, covering half of her collarbone.

She went back to her bedroom, pulled back the covers, and lay down.

The beds in the luxury apartment were very large.

It was also very quiet.

Onodera Zanne lay on her side, her fingertips lightly pressing against the pillow, as if confirming some non-existent distance.

During the day, the image of Kuroba Shido running away resurfaced in her mind on the third floor of the cafeteria.

Leaning on a cane.

Pretend to be innocent.

But his eyes were always searching for a route.

so cute.

They are also very disobedient.

Onodera Zanne closed her eyes, and the corners of her lips curved slightly.

If Shido keeps running away, then we'll just have to clean up every place he can escape from, one by one.

The night was quiet.

A few seconds later, it seemed as if some words that only Kuroba Shido could see slowly appeared above her head.

[Current state: Obsessive, pathological. The obsession with possessing the boy is terrifying. Years of suppression have made the feelings for the boy somewhat pathological. They don't care about ownership, only the right to use...]
