Shirou's clones number 30 million

Even with all the windows open, it's difficult for the smell to dissipate completely when eating in a classroom.

"How about the back of the stadium or the rooftop? Both places are nice. The garden in the central courtyard is also good; there are many benches there."

"Thank you, you've been a great help."

Masamune Makabe picked up his lunchbox and was about to leave the classroom when the door suddenly opened.

Is Akio Tanabe there?

Turning my head, I saw a beautiful girl with black hair.

Even after eight years, Masamune Makabe recognized Adagaki Aki at a glance.

While she was thinking, she suddenly reached out and grabbed Masamune Makabe's tie.

Masamune Makabe slightly turned his body to avoid her right hand and slowly spoke:

"Sorry, I don't like having my collar grabbed, even by someone I know well."

"Oh...? You're Akio Tanabe?"

"No, my name is Makabe Masamune."

Masamune Makabe put down the bento box, and with a slight thought, a bottle of salt appeared in his right hand.

Seeing his enemy again, he was overwhelmed with emotion and had no patience to wait for her to be alone.

The next moment, Masamune Makabe opened the bottle cap, poured the salt inside onto his hand, and sprinkled it handful by handful onto Yoshino Koiwai.

She didn't react at all, staring blankly at Masamune Makabe. After about two seconds, she hurriedly reached out to stop him, like a small animal.

However, it's impossible for an arm to block such fine particles as salt.

Startled by Masamune Makabe, Aki Adagaki quickly recovered, stepped in front of Yoshino Koiwai, and angrily questioned:

"What are you doing, Masamune Makabe?"

Masamune Makabe smiled slightly, and then said:

"I am seeking revenge, revenge that is eight years overdue."

"Nonsense." Adagaki Aki asked without turning her head, "Yoshino, do you know this person?"

“I don’t know him, Miss Aiji. I’ve never seen him before.”

Yoshino Koiwai hurriedly shook her head, her face full of fear.

"Did you hear that? Yoshino doesn't know you at all."

Adagaki Aki snorted and said angrily:

"So, what is your purpose? Are you trying to get my attention this way?"

"No, this has nothing to do with you. This is a grudge between me and Yoshino Koiwai."

Masamune Makabe reached into his school uniform pocket, took out his notebook, turned to the thirteenth entry, and began to read it slowly.

"On April 25, 2004, at 5:47 p.m., after dinner, I went to Adagaki Aki’s house to play, but I didn’t see her. I only saw her servant, Koiwai Yoshino."

"I wanted to ask Yoshino about Aki, but instead I was given the nickname 'pig's feet' instead."

"Starting the next day, the nickname 'Pig's Trotter' spread throughout the school, and many classmates knew about it and came over to laugh at me."

"That night, I had a nightmare of being surrounded and verbally abused by a large group of people, and I woke up from the dream five times in a row."

"The same thing happened on the third night."

"During these three days, whenever I went to school, I would hear someone call me 'pig's feet,' and there was nothing I could do even if I wanted to cover my ears."

"On the fourth day, I left home and went to my maternal grandfather's house in Shinshu. I changed my surname to Makabe, the same as my grandfather's, and vowed to take revenge in the same way."

By the end, Yoshino Koiwai's face had turned deathly pale, and she dared not look at Aki Adagaki's face at all.

"Yoshino Koiwai, the nickname you gave me back then gave me nightmares for three nights."

"The salt I just sprinkled was made using a secret method I learned in Shinshu; it's not ordinary salt. For the next three days, you will have nightmares every night."

"We'll be even in three days."

Adagaki Aki stared blankly at Makabe Masamune, her mind filled with confusion.

Is that you? So that's why you suddenly disappeared.

"Yoshino, is what he said true?"

"I'm sorry, Miss Aiki, I'm so sorry. I... I was very jealous of him at the time."

"You've mistaken the person you're apologizing to," Adagaki Aki said sternly, her eyes sharpening.

Yoshino Koiwai took a deep breath and bowed to Masamune Makabe in apology.

"I'm sorry, it was all my fault back then. You can punish me however you want."

"Even if you apologize like this, the nightmares won't lessen for three days."

"Yes, if I really have nightmares, I'm willing to accept it."

Upon seeing this, Adagaki Aki suddenly made a move and snatched the notebook from Makabe Masamune's hand.

"On April 21, 2004, I lost again in a cat's cradle game with Adagaki Aki, and was called an idiot once again."

"(Parentheses: In the subsequent video game, I successfully beat Aki and cursed her as an idiot in my heart, which can be considered a successful revenge.)"

"On March 13, 2004, Aki's dog stole the cream cake I brought from home. I had intended to share it with Aki, but the dog ruined it."

"(Parentheses: That night, on my way back, I secretly took the food that Ai-ki had prepared for the dog, and my revenge was successful.)"

As she read this, Adagaki Aki couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Are you an idiot? You're actually fighting with a dog for food."

"Besides, you're being too petty to remember such trivial things for revenge!"

"Stop nagging! Give me back my notes." Masamune Makabe glanced at a boy who had sneaked out of the classroom and said again, "This is my most important thing. Stop looking at it and give it back to me right now."

"No, I haven't finished reading it yet."

Adagaki Aki avoided Makabe Masamune's hand and began to read again.

"On February 28, 2004, Aki's maid, Yoshino Koiwai, secretly took a picture of Aki and me playing together when I wasn't looking."

"(Parentheses: The next day, I took the camera from home and asked my mother to teach me how to use it. I also secretly took a picture of Yoshino. My revenge was successful.)"

"Idiot! Big idiot! Super big idiot..."

As she read the notes, Adagaki Aki kept laughing and joking.

Chapter 435 My Malicious Heart

Chapter 435, Section 436: Me, with a Bad Heart

Let's stop here.

Masamune Makabe suddenly reached out and snatched the notebook back.

"Although I don't mind others looking at my notes, it's still a little awkward to have them read aloud in public."

"If that's the case, why did you read it aloud just now?"

"Of course, it's to prove that I'm in the right."

"Even if I'm laughed at again, it doesn't matter?"

"It doesn't matter. After eight years of cultivation, I am no longer the same as before. Even if the nickname 'Pig's Trotter' spreads all over the world, I have nothing to fear."

Masamune Makabe paused for a moment, a slight smile appearing on his face.

"However, given my pettiness, if someone calls me by my nickname to my face, I will definitely return the favor in the same way."

"You actually admit to being stingy? You've really become a weirdo." Adagaki Aki looked speechless.

"We're all in the same boat. Like what you were just about to do, it's not something a normal student would do, is it?"

Thinking about what had just happened, Adagaki Aki's face unconsciously flushed slightly.

Noticing the strange looks from inside the classroom, she quickly came to her senses and turned to walk out the door.

"Yoshino, come with me, I have something to tell you."

"Yes……"

Yoshino Koiwai followed closely behind him, her head bowed.

In the blink of an eye, the two had left the classroom.

As Masamune Makabe picked up the bento box and took a step, Kojuro Juri excitedly came over.

"Makabe-kun is amazing! He's really amazing!"

Even if you praise me like this, it won't do me any good.

"This isn't just polite talk; I genuinely think Makabe-kun is incredibly amazing, and I have the utmost respect for you."

"That's too much... Well then, I'm going to have lunch in the courtyard. See you later."

"Ah."

As he walked out of the classroom, Masamune Makabe let out a soft sigh.

Many things in this world are only for handsome men.

Just like before, if I were still as obese as I was when I was a child, and the contents of my notes were read aloud in public, plus the nickname "Pig's Trotter" being exposed, there would definitely be a lot of people who would say it's disgusting.

In fact, it won't be long before this school becomes unbearable.

However, it's different for handsome guys. Whether it's the content of their notes or the nickname "pig's feet," others will just laugh it off.

A fat person with a bad personality is disliked by the world, but a handsome person with a bad personality is called "the regrettable type".

What is meant by "disappointing type"? Why can't fat people be included?

Oh no! Before I knew it, the darkness in my heart had risen.

Masamune Makabe shook his head slightly, sat down on the bench in the courtyard, and opened his lunchbox.

"This is too much! Chinatsu's bento is a bit smaller, but it has the same contents. Luckily, she inherited her mother's physique of not gaining weight, otherwise we would have become the Akimichi family."
