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

"Cough cough..."

A weak cough echoed in the room, and the short-haired woman stopped.

The two watched as Kuroba Shido, lying on the hospital bed, "slowly awoke."

"Where am I?" Kuroba Shido asked, his eyes filled with confusion, as if he had lost his memory.

Aoko Jingu raised an eyebrow: "Amnesia?"

"Yes, Miss, it seems so." The short-haired woman nodded.

Jingu Aoko crossed her arms, rested her chin on one hand, and nodded, seemingly deep in thought.

"Yeah, drag him out, chop him up, and feed him to the dogs."

"Yes, Miss!"

The Black Feather Warrior said, "???"

Wait, wait, why did it suddenly fast forward to dragging them out to feed the dogs?

Isn't he a meritorious official? Let's not talk about ten thousand taels of gold or a marquisate, you could at least have done something like "releasing military power over a cup of wine" instead of dragging him out to feed the dogs. Isn't that a bit impolite?

Fortunately, Shido Kuroba remained calm enough. Although the two people in front of him were acting so realistically that there was no flaw in their performances, the prompts floating above their heads had already betrayed their true inner thoughts.

On Aoko Jingu's head.

[Current state: Fooling, smug, still resentful because of being scolded, wanting to discipline the boy and take him in as a dog.]

[Salted Fish Guide: Slide down to your knees in front of the girl, sincerely dogezi (a traditional Chinese prostration), kiss her shoes to show your loyalty, and declare that you are willing to be a good dog. After succeeding, take the girl's money and go out for a good time!]

The Black Feather Warrior said, "..."

Awesome!!!

If we don't count past lives, just considering this one, I've lived for almost sixteen years and this is the first time I've seen such an outrageous entry.

Be a dog?

Who?

him?

If given the opportunity, he would still like to be a human being.

On the head of the short-haired woman.

[Current Status: Loyal! Absolutely obedient to the young lady's orders!]

[Salted Fish Guide: After winning over the young lady, do whatever you want with her, make her obey your every command, take her into all sorts of shapes, drain her wallet, and have a good time!]

Damn, why did I raise my hands without thinking?

I never expected that Japan would have its own sun. Enough said, loyalty is guaranteed!

This information entered Kuroba Shido's head, was automatically processed, and ultimately became like this.

Deal with the vicious girl in front of you, and you'll be done in one life. As for the short-haired woman... she's probably an NPC character, just an experience point from the newbie gift pack, so she's irrelevant.

Having decided on his plan, Kuroba Shido's eyes hardened... A fierce attack!!!

"I'm glad you're alright...cough cough..."

Kuroba Shido's extremely weak voice echoed in the room.

His two coughs sounded like a broken blower, teetering on the verge of collapse.

Aoko Jingu remained calm, arms crossed, a malicious smile playing on her lips: "Darling, if you beg for mercy now, I can let you choose a quicker way to die. Saying anything else might not have much effect~"

How could Shido Kuroba not understand the implication in the girl's words?

Don't try to play the emotional card; it won't work on her. She's not some naive, love-struck teenager with a mind full of romance...

Kuroba Shido stared at the vicious girl in front of him for a moment, then closed his eyes: "Then shoot me, I choose this one."

After closing her eyes, she made no further movements or said any unnecessary words, showing none of the many reactions that Aoko Jingu had anticipated.

Surprise, doubt, curiosity...

In a short time, a variety of complex emotions flashed through Aoko Jingu's eyes, before finally settling into calm.

"Clatter!"

Jingu Aoko extended her slender, pale fingers and snapped them. The short-haired woman beside her pulled out a gun and placed it in her young mistress's hand.

Click, chambering!

"Darling, this time there are bullets, you know." Aoko Jingu's face revealed a wicked smile, like a thorny black poisonous rose blooming in a poisonous swamp, both eerie and beautiful.

The kind that would kill you if you touched it.

Kuroba Shido lay on the bed with his eyes closed, still not saying a word. The heart rate monitor next to him gradually stabilized without any fluctuations.

In other words... Shido Kuroba truly accepted the outcome; only someone facing death could be so composed.

Jingu Aoko narrowed her eyes, the calmness in them gradually replaced by doubt, and soon turned into annoyance.

She was very annoyed by Kuroba Shido's attitude of having her completely under his thumb.

Do you really think she wouldn't dare to fire a gun?

"Be more careful in your next life." The girl's voice was like the cold wind of December, icy and devoid of any emotion.

"Bang!"

The moment he fired, Kuroba Shido's mind went through a replay of images.

Holy crap, this can't be right. Did we make the wrong bet?

"You've got a password, your heart is harder than steel! You vicious woman, I'll remember you..." After the friendly greeting, Kuroba Shido lay down.

That guy was really out of ideas, so he decided to just restart it.

Then...make a wish, make a wish, make a wish.

In my next life, I want to have a car and a house, both parents dead, a sister I'm not related to by blood, a beautiful older sister next door, a widow upstairs, and a yandere upperclassman at school...

The magical chant continues!

boom!

The expensive equipment beside him was hit by a bullet, making a loud noise, like fireworks blooming in the night, instantly pulling Kuroba Shido's drifting consciousness back to reality.

The gun was real, the bullets were real, and the shot was fired, but... it didn't hit him!

You made the right bet!

"Chop him up and feed him to the dogs!"

Jingu Aoko's voice remained cold. She tossed the pistol aside, slightly annoyed. After speaking, she slammed the door shut and left the ward. The sound of her footsteps gradually faded into the distance in the corridor.

The short-haired woman stayed in the ward, picked up the gun, and her attitude towards Shido Kuroba changed drastically.

"Please rest here for a while. A doctor will come to look after you, and once you've recovered, we'll send you back to school..."

It was as if he was making his final arrangements, giving Kuroba Shido a very clear and detailed plan.

After explaining everything, the short-haired woman bowed and said, "Please get some rest."

After saying that, she left, carrying a litter of kittens, her voice fading into the distance.

Once again, only Shido Kuroba remained in the room.

Some time after the two left, Kuroba Shido suddenly rose from the dead, sitting up abruptly from his deathbed.

He glanced at the expensive instrument that had been dried out and rendered unusable, and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"This woman isn't a good person..."

call……

Although she's not a good person, she's still a young girl. No matter how vicious she is, she's still a young girl. And as a young girl, she can't help but fantasize about her Prince Charming during her adolescence.

The "hero saves the damsel in distress" trope never goes out of style, the only difficulty being that some heroes rely on health bars and might even lose 1 life.

The bigger the waves, the more valuable the fish. All in, between losing and getting any touch he wanted or winning and getting a young model, Kuroba Shido managed to save his butt...

Wuhu, another day of salted fish!

Time flies, and it's gone in the blink of an eye.

A week has passed.

One week later.

Kamikawa University, gate.

A black luxury car pulled up.

Kuroba Shido limped off the car, leaning on his crutch: "By the way, can I still come to your place if I get sick in the future? Consider it after-sales care. After all, well, it takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone, and I'm just an ordinary guy with very little money..."

The people in the car couldn't stand Kuroyu Shido any longer, so they left the door open and sped away.

That's so damn good at talking!

"Huh? Why did you leave? Sigh... The world is going to the dogs, people's hearts are no longer what they used to be." Kuroba Shido shook his head and limped towards the school.

Great, he's finally back! It's been a week. Do you know how he got through that week?

I've been eating so much rich food every day, I've gained several pounds, it's so great, oh my god!!!

She limped to the classroom, where the students were already in class.

"Report." Kuroba Shido stood at the door, and instantly all eyes in the classroom turned to him.

The teacher lecturing on the platform seemed to know something and nodded: "Hmm, come in. From now on, Kuroba-kun has difficulty walking, so you can be late for class... Okay, let's continue the lesson."

In front of the whole class, he announced Kuroba Shido's special privileges... His strength speaks for itself.

Awesome! So awesome!!!

Kuroba Shido limped toward the hometown of the king sitting behind him by the window, but... he was stunned.

On the seat in front of him was a bowl of rice with incense sticks stuck in it, and around it were several offerings that looked like they were for worship. In the very center was a large black and white photograph... a portrait of the deceased.

The Black Feather Warrior said, "???"

Damn it, which bastard erected this monument for me?!
