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

Tokyo, Rat District, Kuroba Shidoka.

"spoon."

"squeak?"

"A spoon, not a radish."

"squeak?"

"Damn it, that's chili sauce! A spoon, a spoon, a spoon!!!"

"squeak?"

The Black Feather Warrior said, "..."

Kuroba Shido suddenly laughed, not the happy laugh of Dahei choosing the right one this time, but the laugh of a concubine driven mad in the cold palace... He was out of options.

There are only a few things in front of me.

Spoon, radish, chili sauce... and rice balls.

Only the rice ball-shaped black dog could understand what it meant; the others had to guess. When the black-feathered monk uttered a word, the black dog would move and place its hand on the corresponding item.

Good news, we can cooperate!

Bad news, poor coordination!

So, you're just judging things by my expression, huh? You have no idea what these things mean?

"Rice balls".

"squeak!"

Kuroba Shido remained silent for a moment, and then... he started making rice balls!

Dahei immediately put down the spoon in front of him, ran quickly towards the rice ball, took a big bite, and chewed it vigorously.

The Black Feather Warrior said, "..."

Kid, you're amazing, really.

Kuroba Shido is a bit withdrawn. He just went online to check if Dahei is mentally challenged. If so, he should hurry up and spend money to buy a fancy mouse of a different color.

It's a bit pricey, but you can manage to squeeze it out if you grit your teeth. It's something for someone with normal intelligence, right?

As a result, Shido Kuroba became even more desperate after searching online.

So, you mean the fancy rat is highly intelligent only compared to other animals in the animal kingdom?

After all that, he's still an idiot!

Moreover, Shido Kuroba thought that those online tutorial videos and results demonstrations were incredibly lame, so he only had the fancy rat do some simple climbing and feeding activities.

It's like this: "Dinner's served, but you're not allowed to eat. Dinner's served again, and you're pretending to eat..."

This is a small project similar to dog training.

That's absolutely awful.

Does this thing even need training?

Kuroba Shido had tried it when he first got his hands on Daikoku, and it worked every time. Daikoku could understand him, or rather, it could sense his meaning to a certain extent.

So, does that mean... Big Black is actually a high achiever?

A wild genius?

The Black Feather Warrior said, "..."

There's no other way. Oh well, let's keep going. Training a genius like Big Black is better than training those stupid fancy mice that only know how to eat. At least Big Black will watch his expression when he's making wild guesses.

This little black mouse alone is enough to outdo all the other mice... oh wait, I mean, fancy mice.

Shido Kuroba sighed and prepared to continue training Daikoku. The training effect was quite significant; at least... Daikoku's speed in changing things had obviously increased.

Kuroba Shido believed that if he continued training like this for another ten days or half a month, he would be able to make Daikoku successfully understand the commands, and then he would really amaze the beautiful woman from before!

"Let's continue, spoon... um?"

Just as he opened his mouth, Shido Kuroba noticed his phone light up, as if someone had sent him a message.

"Are you there?"

Senior?

Subconsciously, Kuroba Shido assumed it was a message from Onodera Zanne, confirming that he had arrived home safely and that nothing had happened. Remembering what had happened before, Kuroba Shido shuddered, and his eyes became much clearer.

Forget it, I'll just pretend I didn't see it.

then……

"spoon."

"squeak?"

"spoon."

"squeak?"

"You son of a bitch..."

A few minutes later.

"Buzzing".

The phone vibrated again. Kuroba Shido was still playing the spoon game with Daikoku. It felt like Daikoku was about to gain intelligence. Out of five spoon games, he could already understand it once!

In his excited state, Kuroba Shido decided to reply to his senior's message, since she had treated him to a meal or something, even though he wouldn't fall for it again next time.

But... a single meal's kindness should never be forgotten!

Guided by these fundamental principles, Kuroba Shido, filled with "loyalty" and "gratitude," picked up his phone, preparing to deal with his senior...

Upon closer inspection of the contact notes... it reads "Minister".

The Black Feather Warrior said, "???"

Holy crap!

"Clang!"

Shido Kuroba was so startled that he dropped his phone. He quickly picked it up, cold sweat beading on his forehead... In other words, he had knowingly left the department head waiting for several minutes.

666, he wants to eat seaweed and egg drop soup!

Kuroba Shido was terrified. Why did all these people like to send messages at night?

Is it something you can't do in public during the day? Why can't you just talk things out in person? Why do you have to do it here so late at night... Are you there? Are you there? Are you there?

It's so annoying, okay? If someone doesn't want to talk to you, why are you still here? Are you here?

They keep asking people if they have a chance, if they're interested or not... Go for it, go for it, kid, there's a show for you in the circus, everyone's waiting for you, the ringmaster wouldn't dare start the show without you.

Of course, this excludes the senior. Kuroba Shido is genuinely afraid of a 1v1 match with her offline; he clearly feels he is no match for her.

He thought his senior was on the first floor and he was on the third floor, but it turned out that his senior was on the third floor and he was on the first floor... Later, when they were about to run away, Kuroba Shido realized that his senior was in the atmosphere!

From the moment I started to "try my luck," I had already fallen into the senior student's trap, and there was no turning back.

My senior isn't afraid of you having a big appetite, she's just afraid you won't eat...

Speaking of...

Isn't the ruthless leader being a little too paranoid?

He was told not to drink any water from his senior's house, and he thought it was the kind of water that would make him feel cool or fall asleep right away...

The result... was nothing?

It's just regular electrolyte water, it tastes very smooth, and it's even a little sweet...

So, where exactly does the problem lie?

Kuroba Shido thought for a moment, and realized that it was probably because he had carefully changed the glass of water that his senior had handed him, replacing it with the one she had been holding before.

He's a genius!

Just kidding, the senior's two cups of water were the same; she predicted Kuroba Shido's prediction...

Kuroba Shido didn't think much more about the water issue. After all, it was normal for a black-hearted leader to act crazy from time to time. If he wanted to have some fun all the time, how could he be a proper leader?

Also, regarding passwords, if you ever give me, a fifty or sixty-year-old woman, a "feel good" message again, don't blame me for giving you a Masala!

Another new message came in, and it was the same...

"Are you there?"

The Black Feather Warrior said, "..."

No way, Minister, your starting stance looks like a clown's. What era are we living in? Still asking "Are you there?" here? Damn, you're really weak.

Let me give you a little shock, Minister, and show you what the new generation of young people's way of chatting is like, a powerful way to break the deadlock!

Social skills!!!

The black-robed warrior said, "As if!"

Kuroba Shido's lips curled up slightly, revealing a 25° crooked smile, a classic wicked smile typical of the Dragon King, giving off an air of confidence and composure as if he had everything under control.

As expected of him, he actually came up with such a brilliant answer, full of humor and wit, both offensive and defensive, simply amazing...

Miyazaki Kiyoshi: "Come to the club after school tomorrow... never mind, just send me your address and I'll pick you up in the morning."

The Black Feather Warrior said, "???"

The minister has challenged you to a duel. Will you accept?

Yes?

The Black Feather Warrior said, "???"

Damn it, no way, you've taken away my other option, haven't you?

grass!!!

Kuroba said, "Hahaha, Minister, look at you, you're in such a hurry again. I was just playing a little joke on you. It was just a little joke between an ordinary, mediocre member and a genius beauty, a joke between the beloved Minister, hahaha..."

Miyazaki Kiyoshi: "Oh."

Great, you survived!

Kiyoshi Miyazaki: "The other party has invited you to initiate location sharing. Do you accept?"

The Black Feather Warrior said, "..."
