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

"What's with that expression, kid?"

One second, Amamiya Kaoru was fiercely kidnapping Kuroba Shido, but the next second she realized that something seemed wrong.

Why... does my chest hurt?

Amamiya Kaoru glanced down and saw that Kuroba Shido and his group were already eating Crazy Thursday...

She's being used as a high-class human sofa, and also as a cushion...

Amamiya Kaoru: "..."

I ride a horse...

"No, teacher, my legs aren't very strong, you... ouch!"

Kuroba Shido was still enjoying his crazy Thursday, looking quite content. Who came up with this thing? It's so cool!

In that instant, Shido Kuroba's grief over the betrayal by the evil rice ball clique vanished completely, leaving only his reflections and insights on life.

What is the purpose of life...? For crazy Thursdays!

Crazy Thursday (very loud)!!!

Then, Shido Kuroba was hit hard by Kaoru Amamiya with a pencil, letting out a "whoosh" as he sprang into the air, his thoughts and insights about life vanishing instantly.

He remembered now; he wasn't some Tokyo philosopher, he was just a weak, unassuming cook...

"Ugh... This is too much, teacher! You're bullying a defenseless, poor, studious... law-abiding youth of this new era! I can't live like this anymore! Just you wait, I'm going to complain to the education bureau!"

Kuroba Shido gritted his teeth, looking as if he wanted to die together with Amamiya Kaoru.

Amamiya Kaoru: "..."

Kaoru Amamiya suppressed the urge to strangle Shido Kuroba, took a deep breath, put down the pencil in her hand, and silently replaced it with the scalpel for self-defense from her handbag.

"What did you just say?"

"What? What are you saying? Teacher, let's go. We can talk about it on the way, otherwise there won't be any discounted rice balls left if we get back late, and I also have an appointment today..."

When Shido Kuroba saw the gleaming scalpel being pulled out of the bag, his eyes immediately cleared, and his personality switched to that of a kind person.

His personality, which had been fiercely elbowing the unruly Japanese citizens, was temporarily suppressed.

Amamiya Kaoru: "..."

"Hmph, stop being so glib. You're getting a good deal and you're still acting innocent!" Amamiya Kaoru glared at Kuroba Shido and put away the scalpel.

That brat, he's so shameless... Ouch, that hurts!

Amamiya Kaoru planned to buy some ointment on her way home so she could apply it there, otherwise it would be bad if it got swollen... No, swelling seems like a good thing, right?

Wait, what the hell is she thinking?

Amamiya Kaoru: "..."

"Da da da..."

The sound of Shido Kuroba's limping footsteps echoed in the corridor. The two found a secluded spot and stopped.

"Did you bring me home last night?" Kaoru Amamiya asked, starting today's topic.

As was his habit, Kuroba Shido glanced at the status notification above Amamiya Kaoru's head before answering the question. The content of the notification determined what Kuroba Shido would say next.

[Current state: Nervous and shy; feeling confused and unsure how to face the boy because of my inappropriate behavior last night.]

[Salted Fish Guide: A perfect start! Give that clueless, love-struck, seasoned veteran in front of you a good elbow, then seduce him and drain his wallet dry for a good time!]

The Black Feather Warrior said, "..."

This heartless regime is far too despicable. Except when someone is about to die, it should at least be a little more serious.

No matter what, it's always the same: just have some fun, have some fun, etc. I'm having fun with the password!

Damn it, this is a society governed by law! Do you really think this is some backwater? It's illegal, bro. Do you think I don't want to have fun?

Brother has wanted to lie down for a long time, but the problem is, a certain vicious woman is now watching him. Not to mention women, even evil rice balls are intimidated by her reputation and have been eliminated.

You're telling me to go flirt with her now? Isn't that just asking for trouble?

Compared to the ruthless leader, Kuroba Shido felt that his values ​​had improved a lot. Sigh... he was still too kind. He should increase his efforts to elbow the troublemakers in Japan.

Otherwise, someone as kind as him would surely have died young... because good people don't always get good rewards.

Kuroba Shido figured it out: Amamiya Kaoru had appeared and robbed him because of what happened yesterday...

Hmm... let's think about what happened yesterday.

Several key elements popped into Kuroba Shido's mind: the door with the QR code, the slovenly cattle and horses, the mysterious treasure...

The Black Feather Warrior said, "..."

I'm going to walk the horses!

So there's not a single good memory left, is there?

Reality is far more surreal than fiction. While it's true that he wanted to be the corner of the Wood King's world, when a side story actually appeared before him, Shido Kuroba realized that a game is ultimately just a game.

He was certain that if he were to thoroughly humiliate this old codger in front of him who had never experienced the harsh realities of society, he would succeed, and he would definitely squeeze the money out of the other man and have a good time.

But what are the chain reactions that follow?

A vicious old woman's revenge, like that of a mad dog, is directed at him and also at the woman standing before him, Amamiya Kaoru...

It was born from the same root, why is it too anxious?

Why should cattle and horses make things difficult for each other?

Eh...

Ox, horse... oh no, teacher, you're free!

"It wasn't me, it was the kind Mr. Lobster," Kuroba Shido said casually.

As for why crayfish... well, it tastes good, and since this is Japan, let's just drastically change the "Snail Girl" thing. If it were in Korea, it would be "Mr. Kimchi" now, or "Despicable Me" would be good too...

Amamiya Kaoru: "..."

What the hell is Mr. Crayfish? If she remembers correctly, isn't the prototype of this thing the Conch Girl from China?

How did it turn into Mr. Crayfish...?

Amamiya Kaoru's lips twitched, barely suppressing the urge to stab Kuroba Shido to death, and she only glared at him.

Unlike Aoko Jingu's death stare and Kiyoshi Miyazaki's trampling of dignity... Kaoru Amamiya, with her mature and sophisticated aura, carries a unique girlish naiveté, a naiveté unique to her student days.

Thump, thump, thump... Quite a few, it feels like a heart attack!

In that instant, Shido Kuroba clearly felt a sharp blow to his chest, as if his heart had been struck by an elbow...

Heart: I'll fucking throw an uppercut!

The Black Feather Warrior said, "..."

That uppercut almost splattered Shido Kuroba's brains, but thankfully it was just a momentary daze, and he returned to calm afterward.

This woman is extremely vicious; we must be careful... Kuroba Shido jotted down this unforgettable look from this afternoon in his little notebook.

"Crayfish...okay, let's have crayfish then. You said you had plans today, so forget it. I'll treat you to crayfish after school tomorrow."

Kaoru Amamiya muttered to herself.

"That's not... good!"

He originally wanted to refuse, after all, Shido Kuroba didn't want to cheat the poor old man. He was already pitiful, and now he was being treated like a dog... But when he heard that there was food to eat, he changed his mind instantly.

"By the way, I like minced garlic."

Kuroba Shido blinked, looking at Amamiya Kaoru with an "innocent" expression.

Amamiya Kaoru: "..."

Did this guy starve to death in his past life?

Amamiya Kaoru noticed that Kuroba Shido immediately perked up when food was mentioned, hmm... kind of cute.

Silently, Amamiya Kaoru decided that from now on, whenever she had free time, she would invite "the kind Mr. Crayfish" out for a meal, to eat... crayfish.

"Okay, okay, garlic flavor, eat until you're satisfied, consider it payment for helping the teacher before."

Amamiya Kaoru smiled and spoke, then, as if she had thought of something, asked another question "casually".

"The person you met up with today isn't your girlfriend, is it?"

It appears to be an inquiry, but it is actually a confirmation.

Kuroba Shido didn't think much of it: "There's no such thing as a 'little girlfriend.' She's an upperclassman, an upperclassman in the archery club, I think she's about to graduate, before..."

I didn't hear anything else, except that Kuroba Shido said it wasn't his little girlfriend.

Amamiya Kaoru: Okay!

"I'm not chatting anymore, teacher. It's almost time for my appointment with my senior, so I have to go now. See you tomorrow."

"Da da da..."

Limping, Kuroba Shido said goodbye and headed downstairs. All that could be heard was the sound of his cane and the belated sound of Kuroba Shido muttering to himself.

"I wonder what my senior is treating me to today..."

Amamiya Kaoru: "???"

How come this senior knows that a certain kid likes to eat?

I'm going to walk the horses!

Amamiya Kaoru immediately took out her phone and ordered twenty pounds of crayfish from the restaurant where she would be eating tomorrow... the details included garlic.

……

The entrance to the archery gate.

"Da da da..."

"Senior, I'm here!" Kuroba Shido waved from afar. Great, lunch is ready!

Standing there, Onodera Zannen was finally not wearing her training kyudo uniform today, but rather a light and comfortable outfit.

She wore a white headband, a light white suit with a sophisticated sheen, and a blue and white skirt, predominantly blue with white accents along the edges like blooming flowers. She also wore black over-the-knee socks…

And, the core item build for the senior student!

Black...

As always, Onodera Zanne had a gentle, comforting smile on her face, but for a moment, her smile froze when Kuroba Shido walked over.

She smelled... the scent of other women.

It's not the kind of stain that comes from accidental contact, but the kind that only appears after close, intimate contact...

Hmm... what should I do?

I'm so happy...

Kuroba Shido was completely unaware that the current state of Onodera Echo was changing...

Current status...

……
