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

On the side of the road.

"Teacher, if it really doesn't work, just give me the reservation slip, I'll go eat first, and you can come over after you've finished crying, okay?"

"Waaaaah..."

"Don't worry, I'll save half for you, chew it up..."

"Waaaaah..."

"Seriously, how many of these can you eat in a day? Isn't it too nutritious? Chew, chew, chew..."

"Waaaaah..."

"Fine, only the strong deserve to be my organs! Pain is normal, it means I'm building muscle; bitterness is normal, it means it's highly nutritious!"

Amamiya Kaoru: "???"

Amamiya Kaoru stopped crying abruptly, raised her head sharply, her eyes red, and looked incredulously at the cordyceps in front of her that was still choosing the right one to chew next.

Are you saying that a girl is crying so sadly and heartbroken in front of you, and you don't care at all, and then you leave her alone to go eat?

At a speed visible to the naked eye, Amamiya Kaoru's face flushed red. Although she was indeed an older single woman, she still had dignity.

I often slack off in the infirmary, watching idol dramas, like those featuring domineering CEOs. I even fantasize about them in my dreams at night, and then I'm sad for a long time when I wake up the next day and find out it was just a dream.

I'm not even talking about the gentle, handsome, aloof, and domineering CEOs in TV dramas who show concern or anything, but at least offer a few words of care and greetings, right?

Damn it, what a good-for-nothing! All he does all day is eat!

Eat your damn shit!

Kuroba Shido was still on the flower stand, picking out the cordyceps he had just taken out of his pocket, preparing to put it in his mouth, completely unaware that the old man's anger level had been fully stacked up.

He transformed into a "Red Bull" and charged towards the opponent's direction!

boom!

"Damn it, I'm so angry! Eat your mother's ass, stop eating!" Amamiya Kaoru roared in fury, slamming Kuroba Shido to the ground on the cold main road and biting down on his head.

The Black Feather Warrior said, "..."

My scalp feels... painful.

"Ahhhhh—"

A sharp, explosive sound came from the green belt beside the road. Passersby slowed down noticeably, some even squatting down to tie their shoelaces—it would have been even better if they weren't wearing leather shoes…

A moment later, Amamiya Kaoru's Musou time ended, and she regained her senses. Looking at the frail Tokyo pretty boy lying on the side of the road, she fell silent.

What kind of inhuman thing did she do?

"It's ruined, my life is ruined, sob sob sob..." Kuroba Shido slumped on the side of the road, looking utterly hopeless, as if he had been robbed by thugs, his eyes lifeless and empty.

Seeing this, the people around started pointing and whispering about Amamiya Kaoru.

"Huh... The world is going to the dogs. How could such a heinous incident happen in broad daylight in Tokyo?"

"Should we call the police? Look how heartbroken that handsome young man is, I really want to lend him my chest..."

"Exactly, exactly, that's outrageous! They must be severely punished! If they have any problems, they should come at me! What kind of skill is it to bully a student!"

"Neither of you are any good either..."

Amamiya Kaoru: "..."

It was only then that Amamiya Kaoru suddenly realized that so many people had suddenly appeared around her, all pointing and whispering about her. The core message was that she was a scoundrel, a beast, in broad daylight...

Amamiya Kaoru: "..."

At a speed visible to the naked eye, Amamiya Kaoru's face flushed red, wishing she could disappear into nowhere. She was angry before, but now she was ashamed; she had been so caught up in the moment that she hadn't been able to control herself...

"Quick, let's go... Teacher was wrong, Teacher apologizes to you, okay?" Amamiya Kaoru hurriedly walked to Kuroba Shido's side and whispered, her tone filled with undisguised urgency.

Hurry up, there are more and more people around. If we don't leave soon, she might be the headline in Tokyo tomorrow. I've already thought of some kind of social scandal, or a perverted, repressed, older single woman...

Amamiya Kaoru: "..."

No!

If emojis could be visualized, then right now there's a miniature version of Kaoru Amamiya screaming wildly on her head, with her little tongue sticking out of her throat like a spring.

A lifetime of wisdom ruined in an instant!

Amamiya Kaoru practically knelt before Kuroba Shido: "Please, teacher was wrong just now. Can we talk somewhere else? I'm begging you..."

It's just like when you were a kid and someone made you cry, so you covered their mouth, begged them to stay down, and knelt down to apologize, begging them not to tell your parents. You were so humble.

"I will never forgive you, you beast, sob sob sob..." Kuroba Shido looked heartbroken and refused to accept any compromise or compensation.

"I'm begging you, I've never begged anyone like this in my entire life. Here, take this tens of thousands of yuan, I'll give you the rest later..."

Seeing that Shido Kuroba was completely unmoved, Kaoru Amamiya, driven to desperation, took out her wallet from her bag, pulled out all the money inside, and handed it to Shido Kuroba.

"Waaaaah... Do you think this can cover up all the beastly things you did before? Waaaaah..." Kuroba Shido hugged his little cane, looking pitiful.

The familiar scene made Amamiya Kaoru feel a little dazed. Why did she feel like she had seen this scene before, but... why were the roles reversed?

Just like how Kaoru Amamiya treated Shido Kuroba, Shido Kuroba is now treating Kaoru Amamiya the same way. The boomerang came so fast that Kaoru Amamiya didn't even have time to react before it was firmly embedded in the back of her head.

She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt that Kuroba Shido was doing it on purpose, deliberately messing with her and taking revenge for what he had just done...

Amamiya Kaoru: "..."

Those watching nearby nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

"I never expected her to be so wicked, looking like such an honest and beautiful woman. She even used money to humiliate people. Tsk tsk tsk, should we call the police?"

"Call the police! You must call the police! Why aren't they attacking me!"

Amamiya Kaoru: "..."

In that instant, Kaoru Amamiya felt like she needed to double-tap her temples and restart herself. Having lived for over twenty years, this was the first time she truly experienced what social death meant. The time she got drunk with Shido Kuroba didn't count, because that was just the two of them…

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Amamiya Kaoru's mind, and her eyes changed. This was her last resort. If this didn't work, she might as well just smash her head against a roadside car. After all, she was right there on the side of the road, and she wouldn't even need to prepare for restarting; she could just randomly pick a lucky driver...

Amamiya Kaoru took out her phone, pretended to look at it, and frowned as she said, "It's expiring in ten minutes, I don't think I can eat it today..."

"Don't say such discouraging things. Ten minutes is enough. Let's go, teacher!"

Kuroba Shido got up from the ground at some point, and his expression became much more handsome, completely different from the weak little chef he had just been. His words were full of encouragement and inspiration.

Keep going, kid! Don't give up! There are still ten minutes left. You can make it there now!

Amamiya Kaoru: "..."

The surrounding crowd: "..."

"Alright, alright, everyone disperse, everyone disperse. You really took their little argument seriously?"

"Go away, go play somewhere else. You've become part of their game, and you're still watching? Do you really enjoy giving them buffs? Go play, go play, we're leaving too..."

"By the way, delete the photos you took, or you'll be waiting for my lawyer's letter!"

Kuroba Shido glared fiercely at the crowd around him, then quickly pulled out his phone and snapped a few photos of the people around him: "Just you wait. If this happens anywhere else, like in the news or on the front page, you'd all be in deep trouble!"

Everyone: "..."

Awesome!!!

I've never seen such a shameless person before, but in a sense, what Kuroba Shido said is true. Not only have I become a part of someone else's play, but now I'm being threatened with a lawyer's letter. It's infuriating! The world is being chilled little by little by people like Kuroba Shido!

The suggestion here is to wait five minutes on the wall first...

Kuroba Shido is quite knowledgeable and authoritative when it comes to evacuating people. The social problem that Amamiya Kaoru was worried about for a long time was solved by Kuroba Shido as soon as he appeared!

Socially anxious... social terrorist!

Kaoru Amamiya couldn't understand why Shido Kuroba could say such unsettling things so seriously without feeling embarrassed at all... Before meeting Shido Kuroba, Kaoru Amamiya felt like she was living a completely chaotic life.

Under Shido Kuroba's authoritative handling, the crowd was evacuated, but it is unknown whether the photos taken earlier were deleted.

With only ten minutes left for lunch, Kuroba Shido didn't have time to check everyone's phones one by one. A couple of threats would suffice. Besides, even if they took pictures, it wouldn't matter; he wasn't a celebrity and didn't care much about such things...

Oh no, I have to Photoshop it bigger, or else I'll be sending you a lawyer's letter!

Kuroba Shido developed a condition where he would be stressed whenever he saw a cell phone camera, all because of those adorable girls in the news department who "have eyes that are good at discovering beauty."

Hey!

Just wait, you bastards from the news department, I'll give you a Maserati within three days!

After dealing with the onlookers around him, Kuroba Shido tossed a cordyceps into his mouth, chewing it as he continued walking along the road, leaning on his two small canes.

After taking only a couple of steps, he turned back and glanced at Amamiya Kaoru, who was still standing there dumbfounded, and a question mark appeared above his head.

"What are you looking at, teacher? Come on, we'll be late for lunch!"

Kuroba Shido's tone was slightly urgent.

"Get on the bus, get on the bus!"

"I need food—"

Kuroba Shido opened a battle royale game and then clicked on the voice packs in his favorites, which spoke in a manner reminiscent of a human.

Amamiya Kaoru: "..."

A moment later, the once crowded roadside returned to its previous deserted state, as if everything that had happened there was an illusion. Only the slightly messy green belt by the roadside could prove what had just happened.

stomping on...

Light footsteps approached, and Onodera Echo appeared where Kuroba Shido had been standing, staring at the direction where Kuroba Shido and Amamiya Kaoru had disappeared, standing there for a long time.

then……

He took out his phone and silently called the police station.

"Beep beep beep..."

"Hello, how can I help you?" came the pleasant, gentle voice of the operator on the other end of the phone.

"Hello, in Harajuku, Tokyo, at the third intersection after turning left at the traffic light, about 150 meters away, at the location accessible via CCTV camera number 3, a serious incident of harassment, suspected to be an attempt to induce and assault a student, has occurred. The perpetrator is a person approximately 172 cm tall, weighing around 110 catties, and whose appearance is..."

Operator: "???"

Upon hearing this long string of words, the operator's mind went blank for a moment.

When did the public's terminology and overall quality become so high?

In most cases where a call is received to report a crime, the caller is flustered, speaks incoherently, and rambles on for a long time, only to find that there is little useful information. It takes a highly qualified operator to analyze the information and find the useful details.

Analyzing the situation while simultaneously comforting the person who reported it – that's the norm. Having gotten used to this hellish start, this is the first time I've encountered an easy mode. I experienced being carried, and it still feels a bit strange…

Onodera Zannen didn't waste a single word, explaining the time, place, perpetrators, victims, the process of the crime, and the evidence.

Almost everything needed for the investigation was explained.

What would normally take several hours, or even dozens of hours, to figure out, Onodera Zannen explained in less than two minutes. It seemed that only the final step remained... to catch them.

Yes, that's right. That's also Onodera Zanne's goal: to arrest that reckless woman!

If Shido Kuroba were here, he would definitely see the black text constantly twisting and changing above his senior's head, her state constantly shifting and changing...

The only thing that remains unchanged is a notification word above the status bar.

"[Current Status: Jealousy...]"

Onodera Zannen finished speaking quickly and asked, "When can you come over?"

The operator was taken aback for a moment before realizing that the other party had already finished speaking. So fast... She hadn't remembered anything at all; there was just too much information. But thankfully, the phone had a playback function, so she could just listen to it again later.

He quickly came to his senses.

"Okay, let's verify the situation. It will probably take a few hours..."

"No, it doesn't need to take that long. According to the Tokyo Public Security Law, the operator must respond within five minutes of receiving an emergency call, provide a solution within ten minutes, and have personnel arrive within half an hour..."

Before the operator could even offer an explanation, a whole bunch of regulations were slapped at her face, instantly making her drenched in sweat and leaving her breathless.

The operator even thought it was someone from above deliberately coming down to inspect, otherwise why would they be so well prepared, with all the documents laid out in front of them? All they had to do now was arrest the person, and... she could sense the urgency in their words!

Instantly, the operator stood at attention, her attitude immediately became more professional, and she gave a prompt reply!

"It's alright, just a moment, I'll be there within ten minutes!"

"Beep beep beep..."

After hanging up the phone, Onodera Zanne calmly left the spot and headed in the direction where Kuroba Shido and Amamiya Kaoru had gone.

……

at the same time.

Akihabara is not far from where Kaoru Amamiya ordered her food.

A huge corner wood store, with a huge "New Arrival" sign posted at the store entrance, red and blue lights constantly alternating and flashing, attracting a large number of otaku.

A pink-haired girl, clutching a book, crouched in an inconspicuous corner, while a similarly furtive, elegant woman crouched beside her.

"Liyue, what are you doing?" The noblewoman blinked, her eyes filled with innocent foolishness, and asked.

"Shut up, you old hag!"

Riki Sawamura looked fierce, revealing her little fangs.

What are you doing here...?

Of course it's a sting operation, just waiting for Shido to come over!
