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

noon.

As usual, after class, Miyazaki Kiyoshi left the classroom and walked lightly to the cafeteria. After getting his food, he sat down in his usual spot and ate his meal in small bites.

Her demeanor was incredibly elegant, but... Miyazaki Kiyoshi quickly frowned, sensing something was amiss.

He put down the fork, calmly raised his head, and looked around... everything seemed normal.

To be more precise, the moment Miyazaki Kiyoshi looked up, all the gazes around him disappeared, and everyone went about their business with their heads down. But as Miyazaki Kiyoshi continued eating with his head down, those gazes that had disappeared reappeared.

Not right.

Miyazaki Kiyoshi keenly sensed something was amiss.

Naturally, she was aware of her own excellence. Even sitting here, many people would look at her. She was used to such gazes and didn't care too much, so as not to cause herself trouble or unpleasantness.

But... today, the gazes they're giving have clearly changed. They've gone from looking up to them with admiration, envy, love, and worship to pitying them now.

Pitiful?

Why is it pitiful?

Miyazaki Kiyoshi's roguish side is on full display at this moment: he can read other people's inner thoughts without their consent, in short... mind reading.

However, unlike the mind-reading abilities in typical novels, Kiyoshi Miyazaki perceives the other person's psychological activities through an "inner portrait."

It does not present the words directly.

If this ability fell into the hands of an ordinary person, it would be nothing short of torture. Every day they would see all sorts of different images, some filled with malice, some with secrets, and some with evil...

There are two things in the world that are hard to look directly at: the sun and the human heart.

Prolonged exposure to a person's inner world can cause mental health problems, leading to sensitivity or even extreme behavior.

Fortunately, Kiyoshi Miyazaki is a genius, a genius with high intelligence, who interprets and utilizes his abilities well without falling into any kind of obsession or extremes.

The only downside is that... people around you are afraid of you, even your closest friends and family. Nobody wants their inner thoughts to be laid bare like that.

To lay oneself bare in front of others without reservation is, in a sense, no different from "running naked".

Over time, even the mentally strong and highly intelligent Miyazaki Kiyoshi became known as a "problem child" by others, no longer interacting with those around him, and preferring to be alone.

Watch closely!

Miyazaki Kiyoshi spotted a girl who had been secretly watching him. A clear portrait appeared, and he heard the girl's inner thoughts and ideas.

"So what if she's a high-class beauty? In the end, she's still just a pathetic wretch who gets dumped and turns green with envy."

Miyazaki Kiyoshi frowned slightly, but didn't seem to be angry or hold a grudge against the girl... She had seen too many things like this over the years and was immune to it.

They simply changed their target peacefully.

Another portrait slowly appeared...

"Damn it, why is my goddess someone else's simp? Waaaaah..."

"Why can't it be me? Right now is when Miyazaki-san is most vulnerable and needs the most care and love. If I were to step forward to comfort her and show my reliable and gentle side, wouldn't that be..."

"Which is more authoritative: the Eight-Point Light Wheel or Ace's Hand Chop?"

Kiyoshi Miyazaki: "..."

When he got to the last person's name, Miyazaki Kiyoshi paused for a moment, thinking he had accidentally read into Kuroba Shido's mind.

Take a closer look and examine it for a while.

A certain... evil rice ball?

Miyazaki Kiyoshi narrowed his eyes, temporarily shifting his gaze away from Yamamoto Shinto, who was sitting and eating not far away, and continued to examine the inner portraits of the others.

A moment later, she realized something and understood why these people were looking at her with such pitiful, even condescending, eyes today.

It's all the fault of a certain guy!

Subconsciously, Miyazaki Kiyoshi pictured Kuroba Shido constantly saying "So good" and "Captain-sama" in that cheeky way.

With a calm expression, Miyazaki Kiyoshi picked up his plate, tossed it into the food recycling bin, and walked straight toward Yamamoto, who was sitting not far away.

"Personally, I feel that the Eight-Point Light Wheel is more authoritative, after all, it's a forbidden technique from the Land of Light. Ace's Hand Chop just feels like it's just a different name... Hmm? Ito, why are you looking behind me? Is there a ghost behind me?"

Yamamoto Sento ate two mouthfuls of fried noodles, then looked up to find his good brother sitting opposite him with a deathly pale face and an unpleasant expression, staring at something behind him.

Turning back with doubt, and then...

"Thump!"

Kneeling at the speed of light!

"Miss Miyazaki, I am extremely sorry for what happened last time. Please forgive my wishful thinking and don't hold it against me. I'll leave right now!"

This huge reaction immediately caused a stir among the onlookers, with discussions rising and falling.

"Look! Lady Miyazaki has taken action! Even the evil rice ball head has been brought to justice! That's wonderful, so satisfying!"

"Fire him! Fire him! Fire him!"

"That's right, that's right! This damn rice ball-headed guy is the one who corrupted our Kuroba-kun! He should be expelled!"

Kiyoshi Miyazaki: "..."

No wonder they can hang out with that guy; those two are really inseparable.

A hint of speechlessness flashed in Miyazaki Kiyoshi's eyes as he calmly said, "I'm not here to fire you. Let bygones be bygones. However... I have something to ask you."

"Huh? Oh, okay, Miss Miyazaki, please speak!" Hearing that he wasn't being confronted or fired, Yamamoto immediately felt relieved.

"I will answer everything I know!"

"What's the deal with the post they're talking about?" Miyazaki Kiyoshi frowned.

The so-called post was, of course, something I'd read from the portrait, something I'd heard from the people around me, about Kuroba Shido and... a new girlfriend?

These few words, these mere spectators, many of whom hadn't even figured it out themselves, joined in. The vague concepts were so bad that Miyazaki Kiyoshi couldn't even read them and had no idea what these people were talking about.

Otherwise, I would have solved it myself and wouldn't have needed to come and ask this evil rice ball in front of me.

"Post? What post?" Yamamoto was taken aback, while Miyazaki frowned, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes.

Yamamoto Senjin jumped in fright: "Oh, the post, oh, I remember now..."

I can't remember anything! My mind is completely blank!

Fortunately, at this moment, Ito-kun, Yamamoto's good friend sitting opposite him, spoke up. He was also a member of the evil little group.

Having suffered the same fate as Yamamoto, after being tricked by Kuroba Shido in the morning, the two unfortunate souls met in the infirmary. They had been lying in bed all morning, and when it was time to eat, they immediately came over for lunch.

They discussed whether to kick Kuroba Shido out of their group to prevent him from harming them... on the issue of loyalty!

Ito-kun... Full name, Ito Fushin!

Hmm... that's right, Ito Fuma. As for why he has this name... naturally, it's to avoid the same fate as someone named Makoto. Ito Fuma changed it himself, adding the character "Bu" in the middle of his name to distinguish himself.

Otherwise, with that awful name my parents gave me, I'd be in serious trouble... My survival instinct is terrible!

Evil cliques don't tolerate idlers!

"Miyazaki-kun, is this the post you're talking about?" Ito Fusei placed the post with the eye-catching title on his phone in front of Miyazaki Kiyoshi.

"[Shocking! The aloof beauty, Miyazaki, has been dumped! Her official girlfriend forcefully declares her identity and asserts her dominance!]"

Kiyoshi Miyazaki: "???"

Two and a half minutes later, Miyazaki Kiyoshi finished reading the post about being "cheated on," her face calm, though her eyes had grown colder.

She... seems to know what's going on.

Some annoying guy is coming.

A picture of a stunningly beautiful black-haired girl, along with her arrogant voice, flashed through Miyazaki Kiyoshi's mind...

"What a pathetic sight you look, Miyazaki Kiyoshi. You are so self-righteous and utterly ugly."

"You too, a liar with blood on your hands, an executioner. Your so-called fastidiousness is just your last fig leaf. No matter how you try to hide it, you will always be a filthy and despicable loser."

stomping on...

Miyazaki Kiyoshi left, departing from the cafeteria. It seems... he went to see someone?

"Snap!"

Only after they had completely disappeared from sight did Yamamoto Sento muster up the courage to secretly take a picture of Miyazaki Kiyoshi's back and send it to Kuroba Shido.

"Oh no, Shido, run! Your ex-girlfriend is here to get you!"

On the topic of benevolence and righteousness...!

You can say that Rice Ball is evil, but you can't say that Rice Ball is lazy. He's really capable when it comes to trouble!

at the same time.

"Buzzing..."

"Buzzing..."

In a high-end restaurant, Shido Kuroba's phone vibrated twice at the same time, one after the other.

Minister: "Where are you now?"

Evil Rice Ball Head: "Oh no, Shido, run! Your ex-girlfriend is coming for you!"

The Black Feather Warrior said, "???"

Even faster than Shido Kuroba was the vicious girl sitting opposite him, who also felt a sharp pain on the back of her foot... *splat!*

"Honey, you seem... guilty?"

With an incredibly "gentle" smile on her face, Jingu Aoko spoke slowly and deliberately, gradually increasing the pressure—of course, this also included the pressure she applied to the high-end leather shoes on Kuroba Shido's instep.

The Black Feather Warrior said, "..."
