Tokyo Soft Rice King.

The scent of another woman clings to Kuroba Akira now, and it's not the two from the Literature Club, nor the mother and daughter from Takanashi's family...

It smelled like the scent of a strange woman I didn't know.

Where did it come from?!

Moreover, judging from the 'intensity' of the smell, Kuroba Akira has already had 'close' contact with this damned thieving cat.

This is not even speculation, but a 'conclusion', and this is the second thing that Ziyin noticed, and it is also solid evidence that Kuroba Akira 'cheated'.

That is, Kuroba Akira still has 'his own scent' on him, a mixed scent of man and woman that only remains after they have done something pleasurable.

Ziyin was certain that she couldn't be mistaken about this decadent scent, since she had been deliberately leaving this smell on Kuroba Akira almost every day for the past few days, all to provoke Anri Hitomi.

In other words, his beloved emperor not only deceived him by going on dates with women he didn't know, but also cheated on him.

After her brain delayed understanding of the matter, even Ziyin, who was obsessed with love, couldn't find a reason to defend her man.

If Kuroba Akira really did go on a date with Anri Hitomi, Shion might feel unhappy, but she could barely accept it. But the truth is, Kuroba Akira went to see another woman...

She couldn't understand it.

If you're craving something, why don't you come find me?

Even if he goes out to play with other women, he doesn't want to touch himself anymore?

Are you already tired of yourself?

Is it because I have made excessive demands on a wise ruler?

Why……

Why why why why why...

Ziyin's eyes turned pitch black, her smile vanished, and her yandere tendencies exploded.

Kuroba Akira, who had just taken off his shoes and put on indoor shoes, looked up and saw the corrupted Shion. His heart skipped a beat, as if he had seen a female ghost.

Indeed, it's still quite terrifying...

Even if Ziyin suddenly rushed into the kitchen, grabbed a cleaver, and tried to kill herself with the pain, Kuroba Akira wouldn't be surprised.

But I can't die... I don't want to die yet!

To avoid being stabbed to death by a yandere, you have to find a way to quell her anger and pause her descent into darkness!

Kuroba Akira knew all along that he would be exposed. Even if he changed clothes, aired out, or deliberately ran to sweat and cover up the original smell, it would be useless. The overly perceptive Shion would definitely be able to smell it.

Because Ziyin and the class president underwent explosive evolution in their competition to 'steal each other's scent territory,' it's like an arms race. Now they've reached the point where they seem to be using a woman's intuition to sense different hormonal scents.

Therefore, Kuroba Akira had already guessed that Shion would 'turn evil due to stress' before he even used the key to open the door.

Then what should be done?

The answer is... cold salad!

There's nothing I can do.

Since there's no way to hide it anyway... then let's just stop hiding it.

Next up is the performance of the scumbag Kuroba Akira.

"By the way, Ziyin, I've found a new genius."

"……Why?"

"Her name is Hikawa Makoto, and she is Saionji Mato's twin sister."

“Saionji-kun’s…younger sister…”

Overwhelmed by the sudden influx of information, Ziyin's transformation was abruptly halted before she could even react.

Then Kuroba Akira bowed at a 45-degree angle and apologized to Shion.

"Yes, I did go out to see her today. I'm sorry, I lied to you, and I have no excuse for it."

If you get hit, stand up straight, be polite, and bow your head to admit your mistake.

Akira Kuroba finally learned the true essence of being Japanese: First of all, apologize... Red bean paste private horse racing!

However, an apology only temporarily suppresses the other party's anger and cannot truly earn forgiveness; it only buys them time.

"Why...aren't me and Hitomi enough? Aren't we good enough? That Makoto Hikawa...is she really that good?"

As expected, Ziyin still couldn't let it go and questioned him by making comparisons.

"No, to be honest, she's not as pretty as you at all. You're definitely better, Ziyin."

This is not flattery, but the truth.

Ziyin could naturally tell that Kuroba Akira wasn't just making excuses for her.

The frank flattery improved her mood slightly, but it was nothing compared to the darkening of the sea.

However, as the situation improved slightly, Kuroba Akira prepared to launch his next outrageous move.

Keeping it a secret will only fuel the other person's anger and resentment, so it's better to 'explode' it before things get out of control!

However, the 'method' to trigger the explosion is crucial. If the wrong method is chosen, the worst outcome will be being killed by the yandere, corrupted Shion.

Killing a wise ruler and then committing suicide... she is absolutely capable of doing such a thing.

Kuroba Akira felt that healing Shion was impossible, and gaining her understanding was also impossible; at least, he couldn't do it right now.

Therefore, we must use a serious illness to combat a yandere!

Kuroba Akira pressed down on Shion's shoulder, frowned slightly, and spoke with the most serious expression.

"Ziyin, there's something I have to tell you..."

"..."

She didn't ask 'what is it', but remained silent with a blank expression.

Various possibilities flashed through Zi Yin's mind, such as Kuroba Akira saying he had met his true love, or that he had found a genius more worthy of nurturing than her, or that he wanted to have his cake and eat it too, etc...

These are all possibilities that would cause Ziyin heart-wrenching pain, and the thought of 'unforgivable' has already begun to surface in her mind.

However, what happened next completely surprised her... and she felt utterly baffled.

With a resolute expression, Kuroba Akira pulled it out of his pocket...

Bloodstained briefs.

That was a 'souvenir' left to him by Hikawa Makoto. Kuroba Akira spread it out in front of Shion with both hands, and even showed the blood-stained bottom.

"Actually, I have a 'hobby' that I've kept hidden until now... that is, collecting virgin underwear!"

"……………………………………Why?"

Even Kuroba Akira felt invincible.

A cold sweat broke out on my back.

Da Hongxiang, who was coming downstairs, and Granny Xiaolin, who came out of her room, also heard Hei Yuming's explosive remarks and were completely dumbfounded.

Aming (Bai Zi)... Has he gone mad?

Kuroba Akira was not crazy; he was just pretending.

Yes, this is the skill that Kuroba Akira originally possessed: talking nonsense, that is, speaking human language to human beings and ghost language to ghosts, and talking nonsense all the time.

As Hikawa Makoto said, Kuroba Akira cared too much about the women he liked, and without realizing it, he also wanted to present himself as a 'gentle and good man' in front of them.

This is actually human nature. Everyone wants to show their best side to the people they like and hide their bad side.

But what a load of bull! What a load of bull! I already knew what kind of person I was before I came into this world, didn't I?

He himself was a despicable scoundrel who exploited other people's talents for money, toyed with women's feelings, and only thought about lying down and living off women!

Not caring about what others think of him, having a skin as thick as a city wall—that's the true 'quality' of the seasoned veteran, Kuroba Akira!

Seriously... being a high school student in Japan makes you so childish.

Getting caught up in the bittersweetness of first love is simply not in Kuroba Akira's style.

After returning to his true self, Kuroba Akira found a way to break the deadlock: to expose his most 'vulnerable' side in front of the person he liked.

This is similar to the previous tactic of deliberately lowering one's favorability; it's a way to break the 'lover's filter' and let Ziyin see her 'true colors'.

That's why Akira Kuroba revealed to Shion that he was actually a pervert.

Although I don't actually have a weird hobby of collecting underwear and stockings, they are all gifts from women who voluntarily give them to me... It sounds surreal, but that's the truth.

But after this 'admission,' it's really going to become Akira Kuroba's quirk.

Although his reputation will likely be completely ruined after this, and the label of "pervert" will follow him for life... it is indeed a very good 'excuse' that can explain Kuroba Akira's illicit affairs with other women from a unique perspective.

"I think you must have noticed by now, Ziyin. After all, we live and sleep together, you couldn't possibly not have noticed... I actually have several 'similar favorites' already."

"..."

After Kuroba Akira said that, Shion really started to 'understand'.

After all, Ziyin had already discovered that Kuroba Akira had secretly hidden several pairs of underwear and stockings that looked like specimens, some of which were his own and some of other women's.

It wasn't stolen... or rather, there was no need for it. After all, if Kuroba Akira wanted it, he could have asked me for it. Besides, I've given Kuroba Akira plenty of underwear and stockings for his own use, but none of them have been added to my 'collection'.

Therefore, she deduced that these items must have 'commemorative significance' for Kuroba Akira, which is why they were preserved so carefully and hidden away to avoid being discovered by her...

Since it was just underwear and stockings after all, Ziyin chose to turn a blind eye and pretend she didn't see it, nor did she try to eliminate her man's shameful little hobby.

Now that Kuroba Akira has explained his reasons for collecting them, Shion knows where the value of those items lies.

It turns out that it symbolizes a woman's first sexual experience.

Then she immediately realized that Kuroba Akira's collection number had long exceeded '2', which meant that he had already slept with women other than her and Anri Hitomi before.

It turns out that the wise ruler was a habitual offender, and this time he was simply caught by himself... Of course, this was actually a misunderstanding, but the misunderstanding was just right.

Then, Mingjun actually told her something he wouldn't even say to his closest confidants, which shows how much he values ​​her and how he has 'completely opened his heart' to her... This is the conclusion that Ziyin, with her love-struck mind, automatically came to.

As long as there's a angle, they'll defend their man. That's being love-struck. They'll choose to endure if they can, and they'll definitely choose to forgive if they can... Unless there's truly no way to reconcile, they generally won't go to extremes.

And does Anri Hitomi know? She probably doesn't, which means she's the 'first person informed by the wise ruler'...

I am the number one in his heart.

Ziyin even felt a sense of superiority because of this.
