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

Inside a five-star private bespoke restaurant in Tokyo's most bustling area.

The air was filled with the aroma of expensive spices, soothing classical music, and... the frantic clinking of Shido Kuroba's cutlery!

He frantically used his fork and knife to elbow the premium A5 beef in front of him!

Holy crap, this is so delicious! Who invented this stuff?

Is this what life is like for the rich? It's infuriating! He must be reborn as a rich person in his next life!

Kuroba Shido secretly swore an oath, but such a thing could only be imagined. After all... some things can only be passed down through blood; you are either born with them or you are not.

Like him, if nothing unexpected happens, he'll be a rat man for life, never getting to eat four dishes in his entire life, so he needs to work even harder to pass the civil service exam and get a government job!

In a sense, giving a good elbow strike to the troublemakers in Japan is a way of indirectly achieving one's goal.

Shido Kuroba was so engrossed in his meal that he completely forgot about the "girlfriend" in front of him. The moment he saw the steak, all the wrinkles in his brain were smoothed out!

I love you, really, believe me, please let me take good care of you, please... Miss Steak!

Aoko Jingu: "..."

While Kuroba Shido was making a heartfelt confession to Miss Steak, the current status displayed on Jingu Aoko's head kept changing.

[Current state: Annoyed, frustrated, so angry I want to kill someone because the allure of a steak seems insignificant!]

[Salted Fish Guide: Where are you going to eat this? Are you going to take a horse ride? I think you want to be chopped into mincemeat. Spit out that damn steak right now!]

Kuroba Shido's feeling of fullness increased by 1... Chew, chew, chew.

Even if Shido Kuroba was so engrossed in eating that he didn't see the status notification above Aoko Jingu's head, he wouldn't have given up this hard-won opportunity to elbow "Miss Steak".

I'm going to eat, eat, eat!!!

Aoko Jingu: "..."

Jingu Aoko seemed to know something, and instead of disturbing Kuroba Shido who was frantically eating in front of her, she simply watched quietly from the side, her hands crossed and her head resting on them, watching with great interest.

When the steaks ran out, new ones were quickly brought over. A high-end set meal worth five figures was turned into a buffet here.

Beside the two of them, there were already quite a few of these plates piled up... a display of honor.

As for why it turned out this way... it's a long story, but I can make it short.

In short, because of Aoko Jingu, no teacher dared to come to class in the morning, so it was changed to self-study. After a morning of self-study, Shido Kuroba was dragged into a car after class.

Then it was delivered to this high-end, privately-run, five-star restaurant.

Honestly, he was terrified, thinking he was going to be attacked. But when he got there, he found out... Damn, he loved it! He should have come over right after class!

And then... it became what it is now, and it has continued to this day.

This steak is really steak! It's delicious and I love it. I want to eat it every day!

"Buzzing..."

"Buzz..." The phone vibrated.

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, "???"

Buhou!

When Kuroba Shido saw the message on his phone, his heart skipped a beat. Just as he was about to make a move, he felt a sharp pain on the back of his foot. By the time he realized what was happening, his phone had been snatched away.

"Honey, you seem... guilty?"

As she spoke, Aoko Jingu exerted her strength.

The Black Feather Warrior said, "..."

Kuroba Shido wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said calmly, "How could that be? Aoko, you know how honest and upright I am. I, Kuroba, have lived a life of integrity and honesty, and I have never known what a guilty conscience is!"

Aoko Jingu raised an eyebrow: "But...darling, your department head seems to have said he wants to kill you, is that really okay?"

"What?!" Kuroba Shido lost his composure in a second, suddenly bristling with anger. The steak in his mouth no longer tasted good, so he spat it out, his eyes wide with shock.

There's already a vicious, stinking old woman who wants to kill him, why is another one coming?

How come he never realized before that the Minister was actually a yandere who would kill him if he didn't reply to his messages?

Is this version of the yandere character really that powerful?

Aren't the developers going to consider nerfing this move?

A true wheelchair hero!

With a chuckle, Aoko Jingu laughed. She thoroughly enjoyed the feeling of fooling Shido Kuroba and loved the sense of control over the situation.

The feeling of combining the two, of having Kuroba Shido under her control and being fooled... she loved it!

"Darling, you seem very afraid of her?" Aoko Jingu smiled alluringly, the kind of smile that makes you want to kiss her.

Of course, if you don't want to "let your imagination run wild" or anything like that, it's best to hold back, otherwise you might really "try and die."

"Who said that? I, Kuroba Shido, have never known how to spell the word 'fear' in my life!" Seeing Jingu Aoko's amused expression, Kuroba Shido realized he had been tricked and immediately changed his expression!

They put on an image of uprightness, integrity, and fearlessness!

Jingu Aoko blinked, and then, in front of Kuroba Shido, sent a message to Miyazaki Kiyoshi on the other end of the phone.

"Minister, although I like you a lot, I've found that you seem to be no match for my Aoko, so... let's just forget about it."

"Thump!"

He stumbled, and just as he stood up, his legs gave way, and he sat back down.

"Darling, what are you doing? Are you... scared?" Aoko Jingu asked, drawing out each word.

The Black Feather Warrior said, "..."

I was just kidding. I'm illiterate and don't know how to write the word "fear." I'm just illiterate. Why are you taking it so seriously?

Is it too late for me to take back my move? I'll even accept a 30-second GG, please! Let me take back my move, even a 60-second GG is fine!!!

If watching GG could bring him back to life, Shido Kuroba would watch it from day to night...

"Scared? How could I be? I, Kuroba Shido, don't know what fear is... I'm scared, I'm scared, Aoko, please, stop sending it, she'll fire me!"

As Kuroba Shido wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, he prepared to put on a show and say some more high-sounding and beautiful words. After all... he had nothing else to do but say pretty words now.

At least die with some dignity.

Just like pulling a lip service in front of everyone, Kuroba Shido chose a more dignified method... pulling it while wearing a suit.

Before she could finish her nice words, Aoko Jingu continued texting Kiyoshi Miyazaki on her phone. The crisp sound of typing filled the air, nearly scaring Shido Kuroba to death.

Just kidding, the history has been revealed!

Kuroba Shido clasped his hands together and kept pleading beside her, turning into a meme-worthy expression similar to that of Tom Teacher, begging Jingu Aoko to stop.

He won't be able to handle it...

Amero, stop! If this continues, he'll disappear from this school!

Aoko Jingu raised an eyebrow: "Expelled? What a display of official power! Heh, I'd like to see how she expels you!"

The Black Feather Warrior said, "..."

Can I not watch it?

Silently, Shido Kuroba's face adopted the same painful, agonizing expression as the Flame Fist...

"Buzzing..."

My phone vibrated; Kiyoshi Miyazaki had replied to my message!

Minister: "So many years have passed, and it seems someone has forgotten even the most basic manners? Out of consideration for our past acquaintance, I'll kindly remind you once: peeking at someone else's phone is extremely impolite, replying to messages for someone else is shameless, and ultimately… he could never like you; he likes me!"

The Black Feather Warrior said, "..."

Awesome!!!

Minister, I'm begging you...

Even at a time like this, you're still saying things like that. You don't care at all about your only member surviving!

Aoko Jingu narrowed her eyes and then... activated location sharing!

The Black Feather Warrior said, "???"

"Received, expected arrival in twenty minutes!"

The Black Feather Warrior said, "..."

Awesome!!!
