Tokyo Soft Rice King.

"Go upstairs...do you even have the right to do that?"

Chapter 365 You say your piece, I'll eat mine.

Shion Murasaki no Miyako didn't want to follow the script that Hitomi Anri had arranged for her, but it was also impossible for her to get along harmoniously with this group of strange women.

If you can at least picture that scene in your mind, with her talent, she could still put on a friendly attitude, and maybe even address each other as sisters...

However, Shion Murasaki could not even imagine it.

Because we don't know them at all.

Ultimately, her understanding of these women is still limited to the label of "womanizers," and she has never really tried to understand them properly.

But this is actually a form of arrogance, and also a form of inaction that avoids reality.

Originally, Shion Murasaki was not a narcissistic woman. In fact, due to her conflict with her mother, she once felt disgusted with her own appearance and was completely unaware of her own talents.

All her self-confidence was built up for her little by little from scratch by Kuroba Akira.

This special treatment made Shion Murasaki the woman closest to Akira Kuroba.

But it is precisely because her advantages are so obvious that she becomes the target of concentrated attacks, and is isolated and alienated by them.

Without a doubt, these women have 'already' entered the life of the wise ruler, taking away his time and attracting his attention.

If left untreated, it will worsen like an infected wound instead of healing on its own.

In a situation like today, if Anri Hitomi hadn't called her over, Mingjun would have been completely taken advantage of by them without even knowing it... Thinking of this, Shion Shino felt a chill run down her spine.

This is the real reason why her attitude is so cold.

To be honest, she was genuinely a little scared.

She feared that one day the wise ruler who had always been by her side would be stolen away by someone else without her noticing, and hidden in a place she could never find... She would go crazy and arrest and interrogate all the women who were suspected, killing them if they didn't talk.

Even Shion Murasaki no Miyako didn't want things to develop to that point. As long as she wouldn't lose the wise ruler, she was willing to make some concessions.

So even if you're unwilling, and no matter how much you hate and reject them, you should take these women who are connected to your beloved wise ruler seriously.

This is also an opportunity to re-examine the gap between myself and Hitomi Anri.

She didn't know them at all, but Anri Hitomi knew them very well and had a very good relationship with them.

Therefore, the amount of intelligence they possess is simply not on the same level.

This is probably one of the reasons why I always lag behind Hitomi Anri and am always outmaneuvered by her.

Thinking about this, Murasaki no Miyako suddenly understood.

Is that so...? Hitomi Anri, is it also because of this sense of crisis that you want to obtain all the information?

Then, if you can build good relationships with everyone, you can also use their feelings of guilt to get them to withdraw at the very end...

Or even if they can't be forced to leave, they can still be regarded as the 'eldest sister,' the so-called 'official wife,' the only one who can marry the wise ruler.

As long as I can be the 'final winner,' it doesn't matter if I suffer a little loss now.

That's why she can now suppress her jealousy and get along harmoniously with these women who covet the wise ruler, even going so far as to help them divide up the ruler.

I'm actually starting to understand the thoughts of the person I hate the most... My feelings are complicated.

However, Shion Murasaki knew that with her personality, she couldn't imitate Hitomi Anri's 'disgusting behavior', and it was too late anyway.

It's not too late to start getting to know them... No way! It's already too late!

No matter how much he tries to please these women, they will never treat him like a sister, because they can never compare to Anri Hitomi.

Moreover, I wasn't genuinely interacting with them, and I had to act the whole time, which was not only exhausting but also disgusting.

The friendly route can be skipped.

Anri Hitomi called her over to play the role of the 'table-flipping' bad woman. Although she did want to do it, she considered that if she did, she would be ostracized by them again next time... She couldn't repeat the same mistake.

So she decided to use her own methods to 'screen' the results.

You don't need to be on good terms with everyone; just find people you like or can talk to.

This is also a good opportunity to test their intentions and get rid of the half-baked ones. Of course, the fewer annoying flies, the better.

Shion Murasaki, with her mind fully engaged, made her provocative statement based on the above considerations.

Her emotional intelligence and acting skills have both matured to the point where they can support her 'performance'.

Shion Murasaki's 'question of qualifications' left everyone speechless, and all eyes were on her, waiting to see what she had to say.

So Shion Murasaki continued her 'outrageous remarks'.

"Ultimately, if all you want to do is lose your virginity, you can do it with anyone."

"Murasaki-kun! That's incredibly rude of you!"

Shiori Shirai is the easiest to provoke; she was initially lured in by Akira Kuroba upon their first meeting, which led her to agree to the light novel duel.

Murasaki no Miyako tilted her head and looked at everyone with disdain, asking in return.

"Impolite? I don't see any reason why you 'must be a wise ruler no matter what's wrong with it'?"

The women remained silent.

This is actually a trap problem.

The key is not whether it exists or not, but that if you think about this question seriously, you will find that you can't think of a particularly suitable reason for it right away.

It has to be Kuroba Akira's reason?

If I had to put it into words, it would be... I like it?

Just as everyone thought of this, Murasaki no Miyako once again mocked them in a tone that was absolutely infuriating.

"Heh...because you like it?"

Some people blushed with embarrassment at being predicted in their thinking, while others felt bewildered.

It's certain that everyone was drawn into Shion Murasaki's rhythm.

The future superstar was already showing his charisma at this moment... and he dominated the entire scene.

Then, instead of continuing to mock their feelings, Shion Murasaki no Miyako began to show off her own feelings.

"As for me, it has to be him."

"I will never fall in love with anyone other than him in my life."

"He is the most important person in my life, without exception."

His heavy speech made the girls present feel an invisible pressure on their shoulders.

Then, just like intuitive data such as combat power stats, I could intuitively feel the gap between myself and her.

However, some people dare to face this pressure head-on.

Shiori Shirai wasn't afraid at all.

"Isn't this also liking someone? Don't tell me about the difference between love and liking, love and like. No one here likes Mingjun in a normal way! I know you also like him hopelessly, but that's only your side of the story. Liking someone can't be fully expressed with words. At least I don't think there's any difference between my feelings and yours!"

"Shiori..."

Originally, Aizono Moe was so overwhelmed by Shion's declaration of gravity that she couldn't lift her head. She raised her head and glanced at her angry best friend, feeling that she had also gained a little bit of her courage.

Yes, there is no difference in sentiment.

A guy who can make me feel like I'm his master... I probably won't meet another one like him in my life.

A slave can only have one master. She had already decided in her heart that Kuroba Akira was her master, so he must be the most important person in her life.

So Aizono Moe also mustered up her courage and faced Murasomiya Shion directly, expressing her feelings in the same way.

"Murasaki-kun, we...we are serious about our feelings for Kuroba-kun, it's not just casual affection...so please don't say things like 'anyone will do,' because we all feel that Kuroba-kun is the only one for us."

However, she didn't dare to talk about herself alone, but she included everyone else, which was already quite remarkable for the timid Aizono Moe.

If the occasion weren't so formal, Shiori Shirai would have loved to pat Momo's head and chin and shower her with compliments.

Then the poetry duo, along with the others, saw a smile appear on Shion Murasomiya's face.

Although she was smiling, the feeling she gave off was completely different from that of Hitomi Anri and the others.

She exudes a queenly aura that commands respect.

"The difference... if you really want to know, I'll tell you."

Her attitude made it seem as if she were the one who held the truth.

“A wise ruler has the ability to see talent, and even you should know this.”

Kuroba Akira's abilities were revealed. Some people already knew, while others had only guessed at the time and only learned the truth now.

From the expressions of the others, everyone realized that they all knew about this.

Then it suddenly occurred to me: are all the people present talented?

The wicked Shion Murasaki revealed a cruel smile.

"Actually, the wise ruler initially approached you only because he was interested in your talents."

This caused a huge uproar, even more so than the number of times Anri Hitomi had asked everyone about their experiences.

Anri Hitomi felt a sense of foreboding. These words could shake their own beliefs and interfere with their motivation to pursue their dreams... which in turn would affect the dream of a wise ruler!

What exactly is she trying to do? Does she want everyone to hate a wise ruler?

If that's the case... she's seriously underestimating these women who 'came to Takanashi's house'.

Hikawa Makoto rested her chin on her hand and said nonchalantly.

"It doesn't matter at all. In the first place, people are interested in someone because they are attracted to some kind of quality in that person. For example, I was interested in Ming because his appearance suited my taste... and his reason for being interested in us is his talent, nothing more."

Shiori Shirai was initially somewhat hesitant, wondering if Akira Kuroba's expectations of her were also due to her literary talent.

Upon hearing Makoto Hikawa's words, Shiori Shirai shook her head and chuckled.

"Yes... thinking about it carefully, a wise ruler is this kind of person..."

Even with Mengmeng...

It seems that after realizing her feelings for him, she started to view him through a romantic lens.

Kuroba Akira is not without flaws; he is the kind of person who won't do anything without a profit.
