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

Damn it, why is it still tuna?

Is Tokyo just not a good match for her?

After arriving here, she almost choked to death while eating sushi, and then she was humiliated by a sushi dragon. She spent a lot of money to buy a whole bluefin tuna to get revenge, but after the restaurant finished processing it, she felt it was a waste to use such an expensive fish as a punching bag.

So I couldn't resist taking a couple of bites.

result……

He almost got solo killed again.

Several flashbacks of death flashed through her mind, and Yoshiko Sawamura's eyes twitched slightly, her expression gradually turning grief and indignation.

"I am indeed experiencing some discomfort due to the change in environment."

Clay's tone immediately turned serious: "Are you feeling unwell? Have you seen a doctor?"

"I've looked for it, it's not a big problem."

Just as Yoshiko Sawamura was about to tell the truth, she suddenly caught a glimpse of Riki Sawamura on another bed not far away.

The little pink-haired girl had just finished her bath and was leaning against the headboard in loose pajamas, her long pink hair casually draped over her shoulders. She was looking down at her phone, completely unaware of the dangerous gaze emanating from her great mother.

Yoshiko Sawamura's eyes lit up slightly.

"The main problem is that the environment in Liyue is not suitable for them."

Riyue Sawamura's finger, which was swiping the screen, stopped.

Ok?

"Liyue?"

Clay was taken aback.

"What's wrong with her?"

"The problem is a bit complicated."

Yoshiko Sawamura hugged her pillow tightly, her tone gradually becoming heavy, as if Riki Sawamura had truly suffered some severe torment since arriving in Tokyo.

"Since arriving here, the little pink-haired girl has been eating and sleeping poorly. She gets nervous whenever she sees sushi. She almost had an accident while eating today. Her mental state has also been a bit off since she came back. She hits people with a pillow at the drop of a hat."

Ritsuki Sawamura: "..."

The pink-haired girl slowly raised her head and looked expressionlessly at Yoshiko Sawamura on the bed next to her.

Who gets nervous when they see sushi?

Who almost got into trouble while eating?

Who got hit by the pillow after coming back?

How does an older woman manage to make every single sentence basically true, yet when put together, it has absolutely nothing to do with the facts?

On the other end of the phone, Clay frowned.

"Liyue never had any problems adjusting to a new environment before, and doesn't she really like sushi?"

"The past is the past, the present is the present."

Yoshiko Sawamura, without batting an eye, continued to embellish the story.

"I guess I've been under too much pressure lately. I didn't get enough rest on the plane, and since arriving in Tokyo, I've been overthinking things. I don't have much energy when I walk during the day, and I stare at my phone blankly at night."

This part is true.

Since arriving in Tokyo, Ritsuki Sawamura has been thinking about Shido Kuroba, but due to various unforeseen circumstances, they have not been able to meet. Her mental state has been fluctuating.

It has absolutely nothing to do with sushi.

Yoshiko Sawamura became more and more fluent as she spoke, even feeling that she was truthfully reporting her daughter's health condition.

"It was even worse at dinner today. As soon as a piece of tuna sushi was placed in front of me, my face changed instantly, and I almost suffered a terrible shock..."

Ritsuki Sawamura put down her phone.

Sensing the dangerous gaze, Yoshiko Sawamura paused slightly and moved half a meter to the other side of the bed.

Clay keenly caught the pause: "What do you mean by 'almost had a good time'?"

"I almost met her great-grandmother."

"Is it that serious?"

Clay sat up straight instantly.

"Sister-in-law, what happened? Should I send a doctor over now?"

"No need, no need, it's all over now!"

Yoshiko Sawamura hurriedly waved her hand, and after realizing that Clay couldn't see her, she added another sentence.

"The doctor has taken care of it. It was mainly because the little pink-haired girl was careless and ate too fast. No matter how her mother tried to persuade her, she couldn't stop."

Ritsuki Sawamura: "?"

From beginning to end, weren't you the one who was in the most hurry to eat?

"And then?"

"Later...later she was put on the head by a piece of sushi, which caused her even more severe psychological trauma."

Clay: "..."

Sushi riding on your head?

What kind of new cooking method is this?

"Sister-in-law, are you sure you mean Liyue?"

"certainly!"

Yoshiko Sawamura answered decisively, but then moved her body back half a meter, almost falling off the bed.

Ritsuki Sawamura had already thrown back the covers, and was walking towards them barefoot on the carpet with a blank expression.

Danger!

Yoshiko Sawamura's survival radar went into overdrive, and she quickly raised a hand to signal the pink-haired girl to calm down.

"Is the little pink-haired girl right here?"

Clay asked.

"Yes, she's resting."

Yoshiko Sawamura swallowed hard as she watched her daughter approach, maintaining her dignity as a great mother.

"It's just that I've become a little irritable after not being used to the new environment. You know, young girls are easily uneasy when they leave home for the first time and come to an unfamiliar environment."

Ritsuki Sawamura stood by the bed.

Yoshiko Sawamura looked up.

The mother and daughter looked at each other.

The air was silent for two seconds.

"Auntie"

Ritsuki Sawamura gave an unusually gentle smile.

"Who are you calling 'unaccustomed to the new environment'?"

Yoshiko Sawamura: "..."

Hearing the voice, Clay asked in confusion, "Liyue seems to be alright?"

"This is a final burst of energy before death!"

Yoshiko Sawamura said a few words, grabbed her pillow, and quickly rolled off the bed to the other side.

boom!

A pillow flew over and grazed the yellow tiger ears, hitting the headboard. Yoshiko Sawamura, clutching her phone, scrambled behind the sofa, peeking out half her head to continue her call with Clay.

"Sister-in-law, has something happened to you?"

"It's alright, Liyue is trying to alleviate her discomfort from the change in environment through appropriate exercise."

"..."

Clay fell silent.

He felt that something was wrong.

Riki Sawamura suffered from acclimatization issues and nearly choked to death on sushi. She was also hit on the head by a piece of sushi and then chased after Yoshiko Sawamura with a pillow.

Individually, each of these events could have happened, but when put together, they have a rather familiar feel to them.

This sense of familiarity is like when a vase was broken at home when I was a child, and Yoshiko Sawamura solemnly told everyone that it was a passing cat that didn't like the vase and jumped up to kick it hard.

The problem was, there were no cats in the house at that time.

Clay thought for a moment, but ultimately did not press the matter further.

Forget it.

Judging from his sister-in-law's strong voice, there shouldn't be any serious problems. If there were any danger, the people responsible for secretly protecting the mother and daughter would have already reported it to him.

"It's good that you're feeling alright. If you really feel unwell, be sure to contact a doctor immediately and don't try to tough it out on yourself."

"Okay, okay."

Yoshiko Sawamura squatted behind the sofa, nodding repeatedly.

"By the way, after Liyue completes her enrollment procedures tomorrow, do she still need to see Shido?"

The topic suddenly shifted to Shido Kuroba, and Riki Sawamura, who had just been looking for an opportunity to launch a second round of pillow attacks, visibly paused for a moment.

Yoshiko Sawamura noticed this detail keenly, and her expression immediately turned comical.

Have a look.

As soon as Kuroba Shido is mentioned, he immediately stops hitting his mother!

Sure enough, the mother's position in her daughter's heart has been surpassed by that damned lolicon!

hateful!

"Of course I'll go see him."

Yoshiko Sawamura stood up from behind the sofa, her tone instantly turning into one of gritted teeth.

"We came to Tokyo this time to catch that damn lolicon!"

"catch?"

Clay chuckled.

"Isn't Liyue here to see a friend?"

"What friend? That guy is a complete liar, a scumbag, a gigolo, and a lolicon!"

Yoshiko Sawamura grew angrier as she spoke, and stepped out from behind the sofa, completely forgetting that she had just been dodging her daughter's attacks.

"Knowing that pink-haired girl so early on, what else could it be but a lolicon?"

"He's been stringing her along for so many years, never meeting her, never sending photos, and constantly disappearing, leaving that pink-haired girl all alone and overthinking. What else could he be but a scumbag?"

"And they sound really poor. They might reveal their true colors after meeting Liyue, wanting to marry into our family and live off us forever!"

Ritsuki Sawamura stood to the side, her gentle smile gradually fading.

"Auntie, say that again?"

"Mom is analyzing this for you!"

Yoshiko Sawamura straightened her chest, but her composure lasted less than two seconds before she silently took a half-step back.

On the other end of the phone, Clay rubbed his temples.

This isn't the first time I've heard these words.

Every time Kuroba Shido is mentioned, the eldest sister-in-law will start by describing him as a lolicon, then as a conman, a scumbag, and a gigolo, and finally as someone she wants to kill with her own hands.

You can criticize as you please.

If she didn't support Ritsuki Sawamura, she wouldn't have accompanied her daughter across the ocean to Tokyo, let alone gone to great lengths to help with the enrollment procedures at Kamikawa University.

Although most of the procedures were handled by Clay and his subordinates, the only thing Yoshiko Sawamura accomplished was making a few phone calls, but at least her attitude was there.

"Sister-in-law, Shido isn't as bad as you think."

Clay offered an explanation for Kuroba Shido.

"Liyue was always happy when she mentioned him, and Shido has helped her a lot over the years."

"Whose side are you on anyway?"

Yoshiko Sawamura's eyes widened.

"Am I your sister-in-law, or is he your sister-in-law?"

Clay: "..."

Does this question still need to be considered?

"Of course it's you."

"Then curse with me!"

"..."

Clay paused for a moment, then expertly changed the subject: "When are you planning to meet?"

"tomorrow!"

Yoshiko Sawamura stood with one hand on her hip and the other holding her phone, a dangerous smile gradually spreading across her face.

"Once I finish the enrollment procedures, I can go find that damn lolicon!"

"Mom will definitely see for herself what he looks like that has managed to completely bewitch our little pink-haired girl!"

"Who's been completely fooled by him!"

Ritsuki Sawamura instantly turned red.

"Mom didn't say anything to you."

"Is there another little pink-haired girl in this room?!"

"Maybe there is. There might be one hiding under the bed."

Ritsuki Sawamura: "..."

As Clay listened to the familiar argument between the mother and daughter on the phone, a helpless smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.

It seems there was indeed no problem with adapting to the new environment.

His mental state is even better than when he was at the manor.

"Anyway, when I see Kuroba Shido tomorrow, I'll definitely beat him to a pulp myself and show him what the consequences are for deceiving our Liyue!"

Yoshiko Sawamura swung her fist, and the yellow tiger ears twitched twice, creating a rather imposing aura.

However, Clay's mind drifted to his sister-in-law's usual physical condition.

She gets tired after walking for a short time. When fighting in the octagon with Ritsuki Sawamura, she usually starts to pant after less than two minutes. Occasionally, if she eats too quickly, she will choke and her eyes will water.

With that kind of physique, he could fight Kuroba Shido...

Let alone knocking them down.

If you make too big a movement when you throw a punch, you might strain your back first, or if you miss, you might spin around a couple of times and fall to the ground with a thud, breaking your wrist.

"Sister-in-law, Shido still has an injury on his leg."

Clay offered a tactful reminder.

"Isn't that perfect? ​​He can't escape!"

Yoshiko Sawamura's eyes lit up, and she had already started imagining the scene of her solo kill of Shido Kuroba offline tomorrow.

Clay: "..."

You're invincible.

"And don't worry, Mom won't really beat him to death."

Yoshiko Sawamura suddenly lowered her voice, putting on an act as if she was very sensible.

"At most, we'll beat him half to death first, and then find out if he dares to bully the little pink-haired girl again. If his attitude is sincere enough, Mom can give him a chance to start anew."

"Who needs your chance!"

Ritsuki Sawamura grabbed the second pillow.

"Sister-in-law, I think it would be better if you two cleared things up tomorrow."

Clay suppressed a laugh.

"Shido and Liyue have known each other for so many years, so this first formal meeting should be very important. Try not to make things too chaotic."

"Don't worry, Mom knows what she's doing."

Yoshiko Sawamura looked confident.

Clay became even more worried.

However, on second thought, this Kamikawa University happens to be the place where Kuroba Shido studies. After Sawamura Ritsu completes the enrollment procedures, the two of them can not only meet smoothly, but also spend time together at school every day.

Despite her harsh words, the eldest sister-in-law consistently supported Li Yue through her actions.

From this perspective, Yoshiko Sawamura is indeed a very open-minded mother.

The way they expressed their support was just a little strange.

While helping his daughter with her school enrollment, he was also sharpening his knife, ready to kill his future son-in-law. Surprisingly, these two things didn't feel too out of place when put together.

Clay shook his head and smiled, then gave them a few more instructions, telling them to contact him immediately if they encountered any problems in Tokyo and not to act rashly on their own.

Especially Yoshiko Sawamura.

Don't stuff your mouth with anything that looks delicious, don't trust strangers in unfamiliar places, and don't suddenly run away alone just because you had a fight with Ritsuki Sawamura.

Yoshiko Sawamura initially agreed obediently, but gradually became unhappy as she listened.

"Clay, do you think of me as a child?"

"Of course, my sister-in-law is not a child."

"Then why are you saying so much?"

"Just a normal reminder."

"Don't worry, I'm a grown adult, how could I possibly lose myself?"

After Yoshiko Sawamura finished speaking, she completely forgot about how, during the day at the zoo, she was wearing yellow tiger ears and was pushed around by the crowd for quite a distance, almost losing track of Riki Sawamura.

Clay clearly remembered as well, and after a moment of silence, he didn't expose him.

"Sister-in-law, I've sent you the school contact's account number. Remember to add it as soon as possible, don't keep them waiting too long."

"understood."

Yoshiko Sawamura glanced down at the chat interface.

Clay did indeed send a green bubble business card, with the note clearly stating "President of Kamikawa University".

"After you confirm things for tomorrow, get some rest early and don't stay up late again."

"Uh-huh."

"Liyue, you should get some rest too."

"Uncle Clay, I understand."

Ritsuki Sawamura responded.

"I'll hang up now. Contact me anytime if anything comes up."

"Bye-Bye."

The call has ended.

Yoshiko Sawamura put down her phone. The mature and reliable sister-in-law demeanor she had shown when facing Clay hadn't even lasted two seconds before her gaze returned to the green bubble business card.

"President of Kamikawa University..."

She tapped on the business card and took a look.

His profile picture is of a blue sky and white clouds, and his WeChat Moments background is the gate of Kamikawa University. He looks quite formal, so he should be the person Clay was talking about.

Before adding her as a friend, Yoshiko Sawamura carefully filled out the verification information.

Hello, I'm Little Pink's mom.

My fingers paused for a moment.

wrong.

"Little Pink Hair" doesn't seem to be an official name; the principal might not recognize it.

Yoshiko Sawamura deleted the text and retyped it.

Hello, I am Yoshiko Sawamura, Ritsuki Sawamura's mother.

There were no problems this time.

Click send.

The screen quickly displayed that the friend request had been submitted and was waiting for the other party to accept it.

"It's done!"

Satisfied, Yoshiko Sawamura tossed her phone onto the bed, then turned to Riki Sawamura, preparing to continue discussing whether to slap the left cheek or the right cheek first after seeing Shido Kuroba tomorrow.

Ritsuki Sawamura had already raised the pillow in her hand.

Yoshiko Sawamura: "..."

broken.

It seems the attempt to shirk responsibility for the incompatibility with the local environment hasn't ended yet.

……

at the same time.

At the principal's home.

The study lights were still bright.

The principal sat in his chair, leaning forward with his elbows on the table, his eyes bloodshot as he stared intently at his phone, which was charging.

10:40 PM.

Nearly an hour had passed since Jingu Yoshiko hung up the phone.

During that hour, the principal didn't leave his chair, didn't go to the toilet, didn't drink water, and didn't even dare to blink normally.

My eyelids are getting heavier and heavier.

My eyes are dry and itchy.

The phones in my field of vision even started to appear double, one becoming two, two becoming four, as if the entire table was covered with phones.

The principal shook his head vigorously, and the double image barely disappeared.

can not sleep.

Absolutely do not sleep!

The voice of Yoshiko Jingu still echoed in my mind.

If you mess this up, I'll kill you...

If you mess this up, I'll kill you...

I'll kill you...

The principal shuddered, his drowsiness instantly dissipating. He pressed two fingers against his upper and lower eyelids, forcibly opening his eyes.

Hang in there a little longer.

The other party should send a message soon.

One minute.

Two minutes.

Five minutes...

No.

Still no!

The principal's hands began to ache, his fingers, which were supporting his eyelids, trembled slightly, and his eyes were so sore that he was about to tear up.

Why do humans blink?

Can't I just not blink?

Who invented this meaningless action of blinking?!

The principal gritted his teeth and persevered, but eventually reached his limit. His eyelids seemed to have a mind of their own, constantly trying to close.

Just blink once.

It only blinked once.

The message popped up exactly in those fractions of a second, from closing to opening immediately. How could it be such a coincidence that the message appeared in those fractions of a second?

Will not.

Absolutely not.

The principal comforted himself with this reason, slowly loosening the fingers that were holding his eyelids open.

My eyes finally closed.

next second.

buzz-

The phone screen lights up.

[Yoshiko Sawamura has requested to add you as a friend.]

The principal suddenly opened his eyes.

headmaster:"???"
