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

"Senior, we should have gotten in much earlier! Oh dear, the store is packed with people now, it seems like there aren't any good seats left..."

Kuroba Shido followed Onodera Zannen with a limp, looking around with a curious expression.

To be honest, Shido Kuroba had already made up his mind to run away, but then again... he was already here.

Since things have come to this, let's eat first!

And so, Shido Kuroba followed Onodera Zannen into the shop.

It's a sukiyaki restaurant.

When we were outside, Kuroyu Shido didn't realize that the sign outside looked quite fancy, but he couldn't understand it. He thought it was some kind of high-end Western restaurant, but it turns out it's a local restaurant.

This feeling of being neither entirely foreign nor entirely traditional reminded Kuroba Shido of his days living in a small, third-tier city in China.

Fried chicken is fried chicken, and pirated is pirated, but why copy someone else's KFC? If you're going to copy KFC, at least change the name to something better.

Passwords, even the most obscure ones are here!

If someone can come up with a name like that, then hiring anyone else in the family won't make any difference.

It looks alright from the outside, but the inside is much more impressive. At least the storefront is that big. You can hear the bubbling sound of the sukiyaki broth boiling and the sound of the beef hitting the bottom of the pot...

It sounds so appetizing.

"No, I made a reservation in advance." Onodera Zannen smiled faintly, her eyes still fixed on Kurobashi.

The Black Feather Warrior said, "..."

Although it's true that the senior seems to stare directly into everyone's eyes, for some reason, when it comes to him, he feels a little creeped out.

Could it be that the senior sister stabbed him in the back or something?

Gudong.

Kuroba Shido swallowed hard and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

The perceptive Onodera Zanne noticed Shido Kuroba's actions: "It's a bit hot outside. It'll be much cooler if you take off your clothes inside. Shido-kun, let's go."

Onodera Zannen took Kuroba Shido's hand "as is only natural" because she needed to speed things up.

The whole process was incredibly smooth, as if it had been rehearsed countless times.

Before Shido Kuroba could react, he was grabbed by his senior's soft hand and pulled forward... Poor Tom was being played like a puppet.

It's a pity he'd already seen that episode.

Kuroba Shido didn't expose it, or shake off Onodera Zanne's hand, letting the other person lead him forward like that.

Especially at times like these, you need to act like you don't care. If you open your mouth, your senior will unleash a series of "tea art moves" and beat you until you're completely obedient.

Honestly, if it weren't for the ruthless leader's intervention, Kuroba Shido wouldn't have known what Onodera Zanne was doing at the doorway, babbling on and on about feeling wronged and what.

Who knew the other person had such a sensitive nose that they could smell his scent, and it seemed like they were even fixated on it.

It looks like if they find me, it'll probably be a one-on-one fight, or maybe a second round or something...

Subconsciously, the image of Kaoru Amamiya appeared in Shido Kuroba's mind. Hmm, long legs, hmm, a member of the D clan, no, she should be the terrifying one who is about to surpass the D clan... and a simple-minded old man from society.

The Black Feather Warrior said, "..."

Someone like Amamiya Kaoru, who would be a slave to her? If she were really paired with a tea master like her senior, she'd probably be kicked to death like a stray dog ​​on the street.

It will also cause a lot of trouble.

It wasn't hard for Shido Kuroba to tell that Onodera Zanne's family was very wealthy, as he spent 10,000 yen on a simple job like moving things.

Aside from the landlord's foolish son, Kuroba Shido simply couldn't understand how anyone could be so stupid.

The problem is, in a sense, the senior is a fully-fledged human, and it's impossible for her to do anything stupid. The 10,000 yuan is just bait thrown out; all she has to do is wait for the fish to take the bait.

It's so hard to guess which fish is which.

The Black Feather Warrior said, "..."

Heh, he saw through this little trick a long time ago. He's just pretending to be completely fooled, taking the bait and playing hard to get. Just you wait and see!

He runs away after eating the bait; he'll never take the bait again!

Simply put... it's like getting oily in the mud!!!

In order not to cause trouble for Amamiya Kaoru, who is also a pitiful old cow and a corporate slave, Kuroba Shido decided to eat the bait and run away.

He promised that this was the last time he would accept a bribe from his senior, and that he would never do such a thing again.

Yes, this is the last time.

He said no, but his body... cough cough, sorry, he's been through too much of the Universiade and has become a bit assimilated into the local culture. He's a good young man with sound principles.

"Hello, this is my reservation." Onodera Zannen stopped and looked at the waitress standing at another entrance in the restaurant, showing her her reservation.

"Please come in, distinguished guests."

The two continued walking inside, where various high-end private rooms appeared. The moment they entered, the world fell silent.

The high-grade sound insulation cotton and tatami mats, just by the soft feel underfoot, indicate that they are very expensive. They are incomparable to the hard tatami mats like coffin boards in the Kuroyushi Dojo.

"Gurgle..."

Inside the private room, there was a pot that had been prepared for a long time and was boiling. The table was full of various ingredients used in sukiyaki, but... it was a little different from what Shido Kuroba used to make at home.

For example, look at this beef. It's shaped like snowflakes and cut very solidly. I'm not sure if it's A5 or even higher grade, but all the cuts are top-grade.

There is only one pot, but it is shaped like a yin-yang pot. The outer ring is for normal beef sukiyaki, and the inner ring is for high-end seafood.

Physically speaking, the abalone that looks like a face is floating inside, seemingly as some kind of flavor-enhancing ingredient?

Matsutake mushrooms, abalone, prawns, and some kind of high-end mushroom I don't recognize...

That's great, it's the deluxe version! He knew his senior was a good person!

Under the temptation of food, Shido Kuroba was gradually blinded. Who said this upperclassman was yandere?

This senior is amazing!

"Distinguished guests, this is an appetizer. More dishes will be served later. To ensure freshness, the kitchen will only begin preparations after you are seated..."

The waitress patiently and thoroughly explained the dishes and the upcoming arrangements...

Kuroba Shido... didn't listen to a word.

What are you babbling about? Give me fifty servings of these beef rolls first. And you're only putting two slices of beef in one plate, right?

Going to walk the horses, if others see her, they'll think she can't afford it. One plate for a whole cow, are you deaf when I say one plate for a whole cow!

The long wait was finally over. Before Kuroba Shido could go over to close the door and prepare to eat, Onodera Zannen had already gotten up and gently closed the door.

Crash... Bang!

The moment the door closed, whether it was Kuroba Shido's imagination or not, he... felt that the smile on his senior's face seemed to become even more pronounced.

It must be my imagination, right?

Never mind, let's eat first!

"Um, senior, shouldn't we start eating now?" Kuroba Shido held a sterile egg in his hand, looking at Onodera Reine across from him with an "innocent" gaze, asking for her opinion.

No matter what, it's their situation, so we should at least show some attitude. Otherwise, we'll be treated like they're starving, which would be so embarrassing.

Although Shido Kuroba thinks that a face is like a credit card, and credit cards are based on credit scores, if this thing doesn't reflect spending, then all that good credit score is wasted.

Isn't a face meant to be used?

As for whether he has a face or not... that's none of your business.

"Okay, I'm hungry too. Shido-kun, let's eat." Onodera Zannen chuckled as she looked at Kuroba Shido in front of her.

Eager to eat, Kuroba Shido immediately cracked two sterile eggs into a bowl and began eating like a bandit entering the city...

They started eating quickly, without any inhibitions or concerns about their image.

Only the most primal desires.

Yes, that's it, that's it, tear it apart like a hyena, bite it hard...

Watching Kuroba Shido eat, Onodera Zanne's smile deepened, and deep within her calm eyes, an excitement that gradually grew and spread, even...pleasure!

Why is it sukiyaki?

Because the flavor is relatively mild, secondly, we can eat together, two people share one pot, and finally... the flavor is relatively mild.

She can also eat what she wants...

[Current state: morbid, pleasurable...]
