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

"hiss……"

"Senior, your comment doesn't sound like something a good person would say..."

Kuroba Shido sat up abruptly, holding his phone, looking at the friend request message from Onodera Zannen, and after thinking for a while, accepted it.

It's already so late, my senior should be asleep. Let's talk about it tomorrow morning.

"Ding-dong!"

"You have accepted the other party's friend request. Please start chatting!"

Put down your phone, close your eyes and go to sleep...

"Buzzing".

The phone screen lights up.

You have a new unread message!

Kuroba Shido opened his eyes and got out of bed.

"Shido-kun, what a coincidence, you're still awake too?"

The Black Feather Warrior said, "..."

Senior, don't you think it's weird for us to be talking about these things at 3 a.m.?

They even care about timing?

The eerie feeling was as if a baby had run out of the delivery room and the family members all shouted, "Paul Korchagin!" when asked whether to save the nurse or the doctor.

Just thinking about it once made me feel like my sanity level was already dropping.

Out of politeness, after hesitating for a while, Kuroba Shido replied to the message; otherwise, he felt that his senior would come to confront him tomorrow.

Just kidding... The other side is a yandere, who knows what kind of "Mickey Mouse gadgets" she might pull out of her handbag, and then she'll be quiet after being stabbed.

Kurobashi said, "Yes, what a coincidence, you're still awake, senior?"

Onodera Zanne: "Yeah, I'm still busy with some things. I was just about to go to sleep when I saw that you accepted my friend request, Shido-kun. I thought you rejected me because you thought I was a bad guy."

The Black Feather Warrior said, "..."

Guess what? You were busy with something, and then you were still awake at 3 a.m., and just as you were about to go to sleep, you saw the notification that I had accepted your friend request.

Guess whether I believe it or not.

Kuroyuki said, "Sorry, senior, I encountered some unexpected situations on my way back today and was busy the whole time. I didn't check my phone and just got home."

They still gave an explanation, otherwise they were afraid that the senior student might suddenly turn evil or something.

This plot development isn't looking good...

Onodera Zannen: "Is it because of the issue of giving it to me?"

"I'm sorry, Shido-kun."

"It's all my fault, please don't hate me, and give me a chance to apologize properly!"

"Your senior has invited you to a restaurant..."

The Black Feather Warrior said, "???"

What the heck?

In the blink of an eye, Onodera Zannen unleashed a barrage of skills and damage, much like a hero unleashing their ultimate ability before dying.

Weren't we just talking about getting home a little late? How come we're already eating?

Wait... Could it be that the senior is waiting for him here?

A meal ticket... a meal ticket that was premeditated!

It's a conspiracy, it must be a conspiracy, we can't go!

Kuroyuki said, "Uh, no need, senior. It's my own fault. I ran into an acquaintance on the way and chatted for a bit, so I got home a little late. It has nothing to do with you, senior."

Shido Kuroba has been trying his best to find excuses for Onodera Zanne.

But I couldn't withstand the fierceness of my senior!

Onodera Zannen: "I'm sorry, Shido-kun, I've caused you trouble. I won't appear in front of you again..."

The Black Feather Warrior said, "???"

Not a senior, you...

"Buzzing".

Soon, Shido Kuroba received another message, a very short voice message. When he opened it, he could hear his senior's soft sobbing.

Subconsciously, I had already pictured in my mind a dark and windy night, with my senior classmate squatting alone in the corner of the room, her eyes red, looking pitiful and wronged...

Damn it!

Shido Kuroba felt he was being morally blackmailed, but he had no evidence.

hateful!

"Senior, I really didn't mean to blame you..." Kuroba Shido still didn't want to go, so he sent another message.

"Your senior has invited you to a restaurant..."

The Black Feather Warrior said, "..."

Onodera Zannen: "I'm sorry, Shido-kun. I was so tactless. I was a really terrible woman. I won't appear in front of you again. I'm very sorry for what happened today. Please don't hate me..."

Kuroba Shido cleared his throat, just beginning to prepare a psychological reassurance: "Senpai, you're so kind, you're the gentlest person I've ever met..."

"Your senior has invited you to a restaurant..."

The Black Feather Warrior said, "???"

Awesome!!!

So you're completely stubborn, aren't you!

I thought he was already a tough nut to crack, but I didn't expect there to be other experts. Senior sister is the real tough nut to crack, always sticking to her original intentions and ideals.

I just want to get rid of him!

The Black Feather Warrior said, "..."

"I've accepted my senior's invitation!"

After a protracted battle lasting several minutes, Shido Kuroba finally succumbed. His senior's inner strength was simply too formidable; she could stay on topic every three sentences and send out restaurant invitations every two sentences.

There were no evil thoughts, only evil intentions directed at him.

The Black Feather Warrior said, "..."

Onodera Zannen: "Goodnight, Shido-kun. (Smiles, smiles, smiles)"

It was finally over, but Kuroba Shido couldn't laugh. He lay in bed questioning his existence and pondering what to eat for breakfast the next morning.

I got back very late today and didn't manage to buy any discounted rice balls. I also had to get up early this morning to avoid the blond, energetic girl next door, lest I get caught and pinned down by her.

What a heartbreaking scene it will be when this weak, timid male chef sheds tears.

"sleep."

The best way to forget your troubles, besides having a prefrontal lobe removal surgery, is to get rid of your brain and get a good night's sleep.

Let's leave tomorrow's problems for tomorrow. As for today... Rakiba, time to sleep!

Shido Kuroba closed his eyes.

Half an hour later.

Because they didn't buy discounted rice balls when they came back today, the Dahei family failed to steal any and ran out of food. In the middle of the night, they rioted and started elbowing the trash can in the Kurobashido family's house.

It made a crisp sound, but it didn't disturb Shido Kuroba's sleep at all; he just quietly turned over.

Look around, there's nothing left to eat in the house besides rat poison. If all else fails, we'll just have to make do with the rat poison for a couple of bites...

……

Meanwhile, hundreds of kilometers away, in the Kansai region.

In an affluent neighborhood, amidst luxurious villas.

Onodera Zannen held her glowing phone, her eyes clear, staring intently at Kuroba Shido on the other end, seemingly waiting for a reply.

After a few minutes of stalemate, Onodera Zanne finally put down her phone, satisfied, with a faint smile on her face.

Upon closer inspection, her once crystal-clear eyes were slightly reddened, glistening as if she had just been crying…

Shido Kuroba thought his senior was acting, but in reality, she was real.

Shido Kuroba thought his senior was real, but in reality, she was acting.

The crying was real, but the claim that she wouldn't appear before Kuroba Shido was false... In a sense, it was also true, though it was just a word game.

Why not just appear behind you instead of in front of you?

She will always, always, always... watch over her Shido, until, forever, forever, forever...

dawn.

While still fast asleep, Kuroba Shido was suddenly "slapped twice," causing him to abruptly open his eyes and look around in terror.

"squeak--"

A huge, fat black rat, seeing that Kuroba Shido had woken up, swung its tail again and gave Kuroba Shido two more hard "slaps".

He was muttering something, and it looked like he was cursing something really filthy. After finishing his cigarette, he ran back to his room and hid... He came quietly, and he left quietly.

The Black Feather Warrior said, "???"

"Damn it!"

Where's my knife?!
