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

"Hey kid, what are you doing?"

Amamiya Kaoru raised an eyebrow and looked at Kuroba Shido, who was lurking in front of her with a strange expression, looking furtive and suspicious, as if he had done something wrong.

Just moments ago, when he pushed open the door, he looked like he was about to interrogate them and berate them for eating alone. In less than two seconds, he transformed from a victim into a suspicious person preparing to flee the scene of the crime by hugging the wall...

The kind who doesn't even lift their head.

The wooden door to the private room was now fully open.

Amamiya Kaoru sat on the left, and Shimotsuki Airi sat on the right. In front of her were pink cat ears, and next to her were yellow tiger ears. All four gazes fell on them at the same time.

The only safe escape route was behind him. He only needed to take two steps back, close the door, and use his cane to prop himself up, and he could return to the next room, take Big Black and the rest of the kebabs, and escape Tokyo overnight.

Distance is free, 1.5 meters.

Kuroba Shido's Adam's apple bobbed slightly as he readjusted his vocal cords, quickly lowering his voice and adding a slightly hoarse nasal tone: "Sorry, wrong room. Please continue."

After speaking, he turned around naturally, his tone calm, without the slightest hesitation, as if he wasn't the one who had just pushed open the door and called for the teacher and the little devil, as if he were just an ordinary disabled citizen who had mistakenly entered a VIP room and politely left after seeing that there were people inside.

Amamiya Kaoru: "..."

Airi Shimotsuki: "..."

Kuroba Shido had just taken half a step when the back of his coat collar suddenly tightened. Amamiya Kaoru reached out from behind and grabbed him, forcefully blocking the brat who had already activated his escape program at the doorway: "You come back here."

"Madam, please have some self-respect."

Kuroba Shido lowered his head and continued in that unfamiliar voice that sounded like he had half a piece of sandpaper stuffed in his throat: "We are complete strangers. Randomly pulling on a disabled person in a public place can easily cause serious public outcry."

"Who is a complete stranger to you?"

You've mistaken me for someone else.

"You haven't changed your pants, coat, or cane, and you were just calling me teacher."

"coincide."

Amamiya Kaoru's forehead vein throbbed: "Then lift your head up."

Kuroba Shido lowered his head even further, as if he wanted to examine the gaps in the tatami mats to see if there was a second escape route: "I suffer from severe cervical spondylosis and it is inconvenient for me to raise my head. My doctor has advised me to maintain this posture for the next thirty years, as it is beneficial to my health."

Amamiya Kaoru: "..."

She's a doctor, so why would cervical spondylosis require looking down for thirty years? Shimotsuki Airi sat in the chair for a long time, her little face filled with increasing confusion.

Finally, unable to resist any longer, he climbed off the chair, walked around to Kuroba Shido's side, bent over, and looked up from below: "Uncle, why are you talking so strangely?"

Kuroba Shido quickly turned his face to the other side, and Shimotsuki Airi followed him around. Kuroba Shido turned again, and Shimotsuki Airi chased after him again.

The two, one big and one small, circled around Kaoru Amamiya for half a turn.

The scene gradually shifted from adults trying to escape a dangerous situation to kindergarten children chasing after an injured giraffe to examine its face. Amamiya Kaoru was still clutching the back of Kuroba Shido's coat collar, following the two of them as they spun around in place, her gaze becoming increasingly strange.

"Kid, what's wrong with you?"

"fine."

"It's okay, just look up."

"Teacher, people should learn to respect other people's privacy. There is a reason why I bowed my head. If I pry into it, I might see some unbearable truths."

Shimotsuki Airi stopped, looked up at Kuroba Shido, and thought seriously for two seconds: "Uncle, did you choke on something you were eating? Is your face stuck?"

"You worthless brat, have you ever seen someone who's choked speak normally?"

"But the uncle isn't speaking normally either."

The Black Feather Warrior said, "..."

This voice sounds off; it's deep, husky, and magnetic. Although it's a bit different from his original voice, it's still at least at the level of a late-night radio talk show host. Elementary school students who don't know how to appreciate it will probably only listen to the radio at most in the future.

Amamiya Kaoru loosened her coat and reached out to lift Kuroba Shido's chin: "Let me see." Kuroba Shido dodged back, and Amamiya Kaoru followed.

Kuroba Shido tried to dodge again, but his injured leg couldn't keep up with the high-difficulty evasion. His crutch had only moved half a step back.

My heels were already touching the threshold of the wooden door. If I kept backing away, I would either fall down on the spot or sit directly on the waiter's food cart outside. There were old oxen and horses in front of me, the threshold behind me, and a money-losing brat trying to see my face at my feet.

The attempt to escape failed.

Kuroba Shido remained silent for two seconds before he could only brace himself and slowly raise his head.

At the same time, he fully mobilized his facial muscles, pulling the left corner of his mouth upward and pressing the right corner downward, widening one eye and narrowing the other eye into a slit, slightly expanding his nostrils, and pulling his chin back. The whole set of movements was smooth and fluid, exactly the same as what he had done a few hours earlier in the panda enclosure at the zoo.

Amamiya Kaoru: "!!!"

Airi Shimotsuki: "!!!"

Both the large and small children took a step back at the same time.

I rely on!

What is this thing?!

Amamiya Kaoru raised her hand, intending only to see if Kuroba Shido was playing tricks again, but then she saw that face that was usually quite good-looking, and could sometimes even deceive strangers with her looks.

At this moment, it was as if the five senses had temporarily launched an internal coup, with the eyes, nose, and mouth each occupying a separate area, and none of them willing to admit that they belonged to the same person.

Shimotsuki Airi was even more direct. She reached out and grabbed the hem of Amamiya Kaoru's dress, hiding half her body behind her and only revealing a pair of shocked eyes: "Ame-chan, what's wrong with Uncle?"

Amamiya Kaoru shook her head, indicating that she didn't know either.

"you……"

Amamiya Kaoru hesitated for a moment, her professional instincts briefly kicking in: "Did your mouth suddenly become crooked? Are your hands and feet numb? Can you raise your arms normally?"

"Don't worry, teacher."

Kuroba Shido spoke in a hoarse voice, his lips still twitching: "I am in good health, with strong limbs, and there is no sign of me enjoying any comforts for the time being."

"And your face?"

"Natural state".

Shimotsuki Airi hid behind Amamiya Kaoru and whispered, "Uncle wasn't like this before."

"People always grow up," Kuroba Shido said earnestly.

"So fast?" Shimotsuki Airi asked in surprise.

"Just now, your uncle suddenly understood some life principles. Your face reflects your heart, and your facial features have also gained freedom." Black Feather Shido continued to spout nonsense without batting an eye.

Airi Shimotsuki: "..."

I couldn't understand it, but I could tell that every part of the man's face was indeed very free.

Amamiya Kaoru stretched out her finger, ready to touch the crooked corner of Kuroba Shido's mouth.

Kuroba Shido immediately turned his face to the side to avoid her inspection. The movement was so sudden that his right eye almost couldn't stay open. After a slight twitch, it was forcibly closed again, which Amamiya Kaoru noticed.

"You did this on purpose?"

"no."

"His eyes moved just now."

"Neural reflex".

"His lips moved too."

"Life lies in movement."

Amamiya Kaoru stared at him for a few seconds, then looked in the direction that Kuroba Shido refused to turn around, towards the other side of the private room.

Yoshiko Sawamura was still sitting in her chair, her yellow tiger ears back on, her face still pale from the sushi battle.

At this moment, however, he had completely forgotten the fear of almost seeing his great-grandmother. His eyes widened little by little, his gaze fixed on Kuroba Shido's crooked face—he had seen it before, he had definitely seen it before.

In the panda enclosure at the zoo, there was a strange young man who kept his head down, leaned on a cane, and had his arm supported by Onodera Zannen.

Yoshiko Sawamura only glanced at it at the time, but the impression was very deep. There's no way around it, even if an ordinary person isn't good-looking.

At most, their facial features are a little ordinary, their eyes are a little small, and their nose is a little flat. How can anyone be ugly in such an organized and disciplined way, with even the direction of the corners of their mouths forming a complete tactical coordination with their eyes?

Moreover, Onodera Zannen is simply too beautiful.

The two people standing together have such a huge visual difference that it's like a max-level, limited-time character taking a walk with a humanoid pet whose model failed to load.

Yoshiko Sawamura thought that Onodera Zanne was good in every way—good-looking, good-natured, and from a good family—except that her eyesight was a little poor.

Now, the same face that failed to load has appeared again, with the same angle of the mouth, the same size of the eyes, and the same cane.

There may be two people with the same name, Shido, and there may be two tall, limping young men, but there cannot be two people who can tilt their faces at exactly the same angle, unless some mysterious organization has appeared in Tokyo that specializes in training people to twitch their faces.

Yoshiko Sawamura glanced at Shido Kuroba, then at Kaoru Amamiya, her expression becoming increasingly subtle. On the other side, Ritsuki Sawamura also frowned; she didn't have much affection for this man.

She found it strange in the zoo. She kept her head down and refused to look at people. When she spoke, she deliberately lowered her voice. When her face was seen, she had an abstract appearance with a crooked mouth, slanted eyes, and uncontrollable facial features. Yet, she was accompanied by Onodera Zanne, a woman who had no obvious problems from any angle.

What merit or ability do I possess?

Is that correct?

That's so unfair!

I ran into him again at the barbecue restaurant. He was still looking down, still changing his voice, and still making his face look like he was ready to perform street art. He didn't look like a normal person at all.

For some reason, Ritsuki Sawamura's gaze would always involuntarily fall on her.

Why do I feel...?

The person in front of me looks... familiar?

Ritsuki Sawamura paused for a few seconds, holding the grill tongs. Strange, even though she didn't recognize him, why did she feel like she might have heard him somewhere before if he returned to his normal voice and sat down in front of the computer to yell at his teammates?

The thought had barely crossed my mind when I suppressed it.

impossible!

Shido is on a date with his senior at the zoo today. The man in front of him did indeed appear at the zoo with Onodera Zanne, but the two just happen to have the same name. That guy is annoying and rude online, while the one in front of him can't even look at people normally!

Moreover, how could Shido really grow up to look like the person he had imagined before?

After all these years of boasting, how could any of it be true?

Ritsuki Sawamura withdrew her gaze, but the inexplicable sense of familiarity in her heart did not completely disappear. It was like a very thin thread that had been wrapped between the two of them at some point. It was usually loose and invisible, but when they got closer, it would tighten slightly in a certain place.

Kuroba Shido was unaware that the pink-haired girl had somehow stumbled upon the truth, and he didn't have time to think about it now. Amamiya Kaoru was still staring at him, and Shimotsuki Airi was also hiding behind Amamiya Kaoru, watching him as well.

If they continue to stand at the door, they'll be exposed sooner or later, and their escape route has already been blocked by Lao Niu Ma and the threshold.

Kuroba Shido could only maintain his low-key demeanor with a crooked mouth and slanted eyes. He limped into the private room and chose a seat that was furthest from Sawamura and her daughter, closest to the door, where he could get up and leave at any time.

"that……"

Yoshiko Sawamura finally came to her senses and pointed at him: "Amamiya-neechan, who is this?" Shido Kuroba's body stiffened.

Amamiya Kaoru didn't think much of it: "A very troublesome student."

student?

Yoshiko Sawamura's eyes lit up slightly!

Shimotsuki Airi peeked out from behind Amamiya Kaoru and earnestly corrected her: "He's a very troublesome old man."

"Kid, I can hear you."

Kuroba Shido responded instinctively, his voice still hoarse. After speaking, he immediately lowered his head, picked up a skewer of grilled chicken from the table, and began to eat quietly.

Chewing, chewing, chewing... Keep a low profile, very low profile. As long as I don't speak, don't look up, and don't interact with any pink-haired girls or old ladies, I can finish eating and run away. Today's identity crisis can still be safely overcome, just like the one at the zoo. The problem is, my crooked mouth and slanted eyes are not suitable for eating.

Kuroba Shido could usually bite off half a piece of chicken in one bite, but now his mouth was pointing in completely different directions. The chicken almost slid back out the way it was going in, so he quickly used his tongue to hold it in place and pushed the skewer in a little further. His face immediately became even more abstract.

Amamiya Kaoru: "..."

Airi Shimotsuki: "..."

The two, one older and one younger, sat beside him, watching Kuroba Shido use his powerful facial control to finish eating yakitori with a mouth that refused to work normally. Their feelings gradually shifted from worry to indescribable awe. Shimotsuki Airi leaned close to Amamiya Kaoru's ear and whispered, "Ame-chan, will Uncle's face ever be the same again?"

"Probably not."

Kaoru Amamiya replied in a low voice, "But if he keeps pushing like that, he might get a cramp."

What happens after a cramp?

"It's possible we really can't go back."

The Black Feather Warrior said, "..."

"Well, what I mean is, when you two are playing with crickets, could you please walk a little further away, or at least be a little discreet?"

Kuroba Shido said helplessly, "They don't treat him like a human being at all! Is he even human?"

"Did you hear that?"

"My mouth is crooked, I'm not deaf."

"Why did that man do that?"

"Performance art".

Shimotsuki Airi looked at it carefully for a while: "It's not good-looking."

"Art is not meant to be understood by ordinary elementary school students."

"But the uncle looks like he's had a stroke."

The Black Feather Warrior said, "..."

Those who go for a horse walk, let's see what kind of meal this money-losing brat gets put into and sent to the kitchen this morning or evening, so the chef can just randomly pick one and see what kind of bird they can serve in the end.

Seeing that Shido Kuroba could still be sarcastic, Kaoru Amamiya finally confirmed that his face had nothing to do with his physical problems. She sat down next to Yoshiko Sawamura again and reached out to touch her wrist to make sure that her pulse and breathing were stable.

"Are you really not experiencing chest pain or dizziness?"

"No, no, Mom is perfectly fine now!"

Yoshiko Sawamura patted her chest, then immediately coughed. Ritsuki Sawamura's face darkened as he grabbed her hand and said, "Can't you behave yourself?"

"Mom is just proving that she is in good health."

"You also felt healthy just now."

"That was a misjudgment by Mom just now."

"Don't mothers these days make mistakes?"

Yoshiko Sawamura paused for two seconds, then replied very honestly, "Not necessarily."

Ritsuki Sawamura: "..."

With a bit of self-awareness, Amamiya Kaoru couldn't help but smile, and the tension from the emergency rescue relaxed considerably. Sawamura Yoshiko liked her more and more as she looked at her, and reached out to pat Amamiya Kaoru's shoulder again, directly upgrading her savior from "Ame-miya-sensei" to "Ame-miya-sister".

"Little sister Amamiya, you're not only beautiful, but also a skilled healer. If it weren't for you today, I really would have gone to have dinner with my great-grandmother!"

"It's just basic first aid, nothing special in terms of advanced medical skills."

"How can it not count? Everyone else can't do it, only you can. That's skill."

Yoshiko Sawamura spoke earnestly, then glanced at Shido Kuroba out of the corner of her eye. A man with a crooked mouth and slanted eyes was busy eating a string of chicken cartilage.

Because the chicken cartilage requires force to chew, the already unstable facial features begin to change slightly with the chewing frequency.

His left eye sometimes appeared larger than his right, and the corners of his mouth briefly changed from left to right, as if two different facial forces were taking turns in power.

The difference between Kuroba Shido and the squash, hot pepper, and cherry bomb from the plant-growing zombies is that he's not even red or green...

Yoshiko Sawamura almost couldn't help but laugh.

After trying to hold back, my curiosity only grew stronger.

"Oh, right, Amamiya-neechan."

"Um?"

"You and that..."

Yoshiko Sawamura gestured towards Shido Kuroba with her lip, her expression quite casual: "Strange young man, what's your relationship?"

Click! Kaoru Amamiya's chopsticks hit the plate. The sound wasn't loud, but the reaction was quite obvious. Shido Kuroba paused for a moment while chewing the chicken cartilage in his mouth, then continued chewing as if the topic had nothing to do with him.

"What's the connection?"

Amamiya Kaoru picked up her chopsticks again, a slightly unnatural look of confusion on her face: "Didn't I just say that he's my student and I'm a doctor in the school clinic? It's that simple."

"Are you really just a student?"

"Of course," Amamiya Kaoru replied confidently, her voice noticeably louder.

Yoshiko Sawamura blinked, noticing the quick response.

Although she usually has a clear mind, she loses the judgment that an adult should have when faced with sushi.

But after all, she is a great mother who has survived all the way from a large family. This level of tsundere behavior is just too obvious.

In particular, Amamiya Kaoru's ears had started to turn red, all the way up from her earlobes, as if someone had lightly painted a layer of light red paint on them, but she herself hadn't noticed and was still trying to maintain the calm that a normal teacher-student relationship should have.

"I'm just responsible for treating his injuries at school. I occasionally see this kid causing trouble and just mind my own business. We're out for dinner today because..."

Amamiya Kaoru stopped abruptly halfway through her sentence. Why did she need to explain? There was nothing between her and Kuroba Shido. Fine!

"I can't say any more. The more I explain, the more suspicious it becomes," Amamiya Kaoru coughed lightly, forcibly ending the conversation: "Anyway, it's just a normal teacher-student relationship."

Shimotsuki Airi sat next to her, still holding the chicken wings that Sawamura Ritsu had just given her. Hearing this, she raised her head and said, "But Uncle has been staying at Xiaoyu's house recently."

Amamiya Kaoru: "???"

Yoshiko Sawamura: "???"

Kuroba Shido stopped chewing on the chicken cartilage, and the private room fell silent for a moment.

Amamiya Kaoru turned her head sharply: "Children shouldn't talk nonsense while eating!"

"I'm not making this up."

Shimotsuki Airi blinked, looking completely innocent: "Uncle slept at Xiaoyu's house yesterday. Dahei, Dahei's wife, and Xiaohei were there too. Xiaoyu even picked Uncle up on her bike and took him home."

"That's because he was injured and had nowhere to go, so the Big Black family is just temporarily staying with me!"

"oh."

Shimotsuki Airi lowered her head and bit into a chicken wing, having said everything she needed to say. Amamiya Kaoru's face began to heat up uncontrollably. She turned her head to explain, but Sawamura Yoshiko already had a kind expression that said, "I understand, I understand. It's normal for young people to be shy."

"So it was just a normal teacher-student relationship after all."

"It really is just a normal teacher-student relationship!"

"Yes, yes, I believe you."

"Your expression doesn't tell you you believe me!"

Yoshiko Sawamura smiled even more gently: "Amamiya-chan, I was young once too. There's nothing to be ashamed of when it comes to feelings. You might say you don't like someone, but you can't help but take care of them. You might complain about them all the time, but when it really matters, you'll be more worried than anyone else. That's normal."

"I didn't say I liked you!" Amamiya Kaoru's face flushed red as she gritted her teeth.

"Your older sister didn't say you liked it either." Yoshiko Sawamura raised her eyebrows, looking like she knew what she meant.

Amamiya Kaoru: "..."

There's a problem, definitely a problem, and it's not an ordinary problem. Sawamura Yoshiko's mind gradually conjured up the image of Onodera Zannen sitting at a fast food restaurant table in the zoo, speaking gently and calmly.

"Shido will become my boyfriend and the person who will accompany me for the rest of my life."

"He is very important to me."

"Therefore, I will not give him to anyone."

That Shido classmate back then is the guy in front of me.

This morning, I went to the zoo with Onodera Zane, arm in arm, and bought couple tickets. We just parted ways in the afternoon, and then I went to another woman's place for barbecue in the evening. I even stayed at her house and was taken care of because of my injured leg, receiving warm water and food.

Having two relationships at the same time? No, this is more than just having two relationships at the same time. A gentle senior during the day, a mature school doctor at night. Someone to take care of you when you're in school, and a place to stay after school.

Time management, resource allocation, emotional value, and free room and board—this crooked-mouthed, slanted-eyed guy has figured them all out!

Yoshiko Sawamura gasped. What a scumbag! And a particularly well-hidden one at that—a time-management scumbag. His abstract appearance wasn't scary at all.

What's terrifying is that someone with such an abstract appearance could actually fool women of Onodera Zanne and Amamiya Kaoru at the same time.

Is this the latest trend in Japan's "ugly men" competition, where pretty women are made to think "no one else will steal him," lowering their guard so they can be taken down one by one?

"Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!" Yoshiko Sawamura felt she had discovered a shocking secret that she had to tell Zanne Onodera.

Although the two of them only talked once at the zoo...

But Onodera Zanne is beautiful, speaks gently, and even praised her yellow tiger ears as cute. She is an extremely discerning girl. How could she be deceived by this evil male college student who has a crooked mouth and slanted eyes, dates upperclassmen during the day, and stays at the teacher's house at night?

No, our great mother must step in.

Yoshiko Sawamura continued chatting with Kaoru Amamiya on the surface, but her right hand secretly reached for her phone on the table. She was very careful, first taking the phone under the table, then opening the camera, and using the act of drinking a soft drink to adjust the angle, gradually aiming the lens at Shido Kuroba and Kaoru Amamiya.

Catching a cheating boyfriend requires evidence; simply saying "I saw it" isn't convincing, especially since Onodera Zanne is so clever. What if he thinks she's trying to sow discord? Take one picture, just one picture.

In the photo, Shido Kuroba sits on the right, eating with a crooked mouth and squinting eyes, while Kaoru Amamiya sits next to him, holding a side dish she is about to hand over.

The two weren't particularly close, yet they had a natural feeling that only comes after spending a long time together.

Now!!!

Yoshiko Sawamura pressed the shutter button, click!

A blinding white light instantly illuminated the private room, and the sound of cell phone shutters rang out clearly. Everyone stopped moving at the same time. Amamiya Kaoru was carrying side dishes, Shimotsuki Airi was biting into a chicken wing, and Sawamura Ritsuki was holding a grill tongs.

With half a chicken cartilage still dangling from his mouth, Shido Kuroba slowly turned his two eyes, one big and one small, to look at Yoshiko Sawamura, who was standing frozen on the other side of the table, holding her phone.

The Black Feather Warrior said, "..."

Yoshiko Sawamura: "..."

They forgot to turn off the flash. Not only that, they also left the phone's camera shutter sound on. What happened just now was less like a sneaky photo and more like a war correspondent standing three meters away from the target, carrying a flare and broadcasting equipment to collect evidence from the front, as if afraid the suspect wouldn't know he was being photographed.

Amamiya Kaoru blinked: "Yoshiko-neechan, what are you filming?"

"No, it's nothing."

Yoshiko Sawamura slammed her phone face down on the table with lightning speed, her smile gradually freezing: "I just thought... today's escape from death was very memorable, so I just took a quick picture."

After finishing her sentence, Ritsuki Sawamura glanced at the angle of her phone: "Your camera was pointed at someone else."

"Mom captured the atmosphere."

"The flash almost went into his nostril."

"This indicates that the atmosphere is very bright."

Ritsuki Sawamura: "..."

What outrageous reason?

Kuroba Shido appeared calm as a rock, but in reality, he was panicking terribly, his back already drenched in cold sweat...

I was so scared I peed my pants!

You're eating peacefully, right in the middle of a crucial moment, and suddenly, a huge camera is shoved right in your face. Who can stand that?

It's no exaggeration to say that Kuroba Shido's heart, even if dug out right now, could still beat for several minutes...

Kuroba Shido felt increasingly uneasy. He leaned forward subtly, reaching for his cane with his left hand, ready to seize any opportunity to leave the private room. Sawamura Yoshiko was equally uneasy.

She took her phone back, glanced down at the photos she had just taken, and confirmed that the images were very clear, even capturing Kuroba Shido's crooked mouth and Amamiya Kaoru's reddened ears. The evidence was complete, and the mission was accomplished.

All that was left was to retreat.

"Um... I drank too much soda."

Yoshiko Sawamura suddenly stood up, chuckled dryly while holding her phone, and said, "I'm going to the restroom. You guys continue eating, don't wait for me."

Ritsuki Sawamura frowned: "Your legs were still weak just now."

"Now it's all right."

"The doctor told you not to engage in strenuous activity."

"Going to the toilet is not considered strenuous activity."

"Then why are you running?"

Yoshiko Sawamura stopped in her tracks. She then realized that she had gone from walking to jogging, her yellow tiger ears bouncing on her head, her movements so agile that she was nothing like the wounded person who had been lying on the ground just a dozen minutes ago, ready to see her grandmother.

"I can't hold it in anymore."

After saying that, Yoshiko Sawamura opened the wooden door and ran away quickly. Shido Kuroba watched her disappear into the corridor, his sense of unease growing stronger. He immediately prepared to follow her, but Kaoru Amamiya grabbed his shoulder.

"Where are you going?"

"bathroom."

"Didn't we just search around here?"

"Everyone has to go to the bathroom sometimes. How can you stop going just because you just had sex? Teacher, that's discrimination against normal physiological activities."

"Sit down, your face is still crooked."

"Your face and the toilet are not directly related."

"Get me back to normal first."

The Black Feather Warrior said, "..."

He can't recover, at least not while the pink-haired guy is still watching.

Amamiya Kaoru pressed on Kuroba Shido's shoulder, while Shimotsuki Airi also came over to study the abstract face that seemed to have no end in sight. Sawamura Ritsu sat opposite them.

Although she had looked away, her eyes still occasionally lingered on Shido Kuroba.

With three layers of security, escape was impossible. Kuroba Shido could only sit down again, silently praying that Sawamura Yoshiko had simply drunk too much soda. Meanwhile, after leaving the private room, Sawamura Yoshiko didn't go to the restroom at all.

She walked briskly along the corridor, passing the waiter and two guests who had just come out of other private rooms, then turned past the bamboo curtain next to the front hall and looked left and right.

Finally, they found an inconspicuous corner with decorative vases, dim lighting, and no view from the private room.

It's safe. There's no pink-haired girl, no Amamiya sister, and no dangerous male college student with a crooked mouth and slanted eyes who's two-timing.

Yoshiko Sawamura leaned against the wall, crouching down with her phone in her hand, looking rather furtive...

She opened her contact list and found the name she had just added during the day.

【Onodera Remnant】

Opening the chat window, Yoshiko Sawamura first sent the photo she had just taken. After the image was successfully sent, she immediately put her finger on the input field and started typing rapidly.

[Onodera-kun, I ran into your Shido-kun again tonight. He was having dinner at a barbecue restaurant with a very pretty female doctor. Their relationship seemed very unusual. The doctor said they were just teacher and student, but Shido-kun is already staying at her house. The doctor was giving him water, feeding him, and even blushing. I'm suspicious...]

It was too long and didn't seem like important information, so Yoshiko Sawamura deleted it all and re-edited it.

[Onodera-kun, your guy Shido, with his crooked mouth and slanted eyes, is living with the female teacher behind your back!]

No, a crooked mouth and slanted eyes might hurt Kuroba Shido's already fragile self-esteem.

Moreover, the key point was not clear enough, so she deleted it again. Sawamura Yoshiko squatted at the corner, holding her phone and thinking seriously for a few seconds. Suddenly, her eyes lit up.

Okay, concise, direct, and immediately conveying the seriousness of the matter. My great mother retyped it, confirmed there were no typos, and then pressed send.

【Onodera-san, something terrible has happened! Your boyfriend cheated on you!!!】
