Tokyo Soft Rice King.

A decadent middle-aged man with no feelings.

Kuroba Akira is now in the same state as in his past life, working overtime until he was about to die from overwork.

It's just that I've gone from being busy with my career to being busy with love; the workplace has become the dating scene.

Sigh, it seems I really am destined to be a workaholic... Kuroba Akira sighed inwardly.

"Although Kuroba-kun wasn't actually working, he expended a lot of energy interacting with other girls, so he lost his previous initiative towards Shion-kun."

That's why I want to get rid of those troublesome women!

It would be great if all cats that steal fish disappeared from this world!

However, Ziyin also knew that this was unrealistic... Unless she was reborn and went back to the past, she could establish a relationship with Mingjun before he met Anri Hitomi... Unfortunately, such a pure love story only exists in the "if" scenario of fantasy.

In front of everyone, Ziyin certainly wouldn't say anything too harsh, but she still showed her dissatisfaction.

"So I can only watch helplessly as my husband works tirelessly and gets thinner day by day, but I can't do anything about it? I even have to swallow my anger?"

Haruka's explanation was clever; she described Kuroba Akira's interactions with the other girls as "work," and her going home as "returning to Shion's side."

This gave Ziyin a sense of superiority, making her feel like the 'real mistress'. She naturally accepted Qingxia's analogy and took on the role that Qingxia had assigned her.

"Actually, all we need to do is reduce the pressure of 'work'."

"How can we alleviate this?"

As a result, Ziyin is now even willing to 'listen to the other party's advice'.

"The method is the same as the method I'm using to 'hinder' you, Ziyin."

"...So, you were just using me as a scapegoat!"

Only then did Ziyin realize that she had been used as the 'number one test subject'!

"Yes, I'm not targeting you alone this time, Ziyin. It just so happens that you're my first person to advise. I'll make everyone reflect on their relationship with Kuroba-kun."

You're not the only woman who's both humble and burdened, so of course we need to 'de-humorize' and 'de-burden' everyone.

Kuroba Akira once thought that only the same gravity could counter the power of the heavy woman, but now Tomita Haruka has personally proven that even without heavy emotions, as long as you use impeccable reasoning, you can nullify the gravity field!

Ah Qing...you are so amazing!

She may look like an athletic girl, but she's actually quite intelligent too; she's a well-rounded girl who excels in both academics and sports!

Chapter 392 My Preferences Are Different From Yours

I'm not targeting you personally; I'm going to punish every woman who has sex with men equally.

This is Haruka Tomita's idea.

Of course, there are some high-risk individuals who require special attention. Shion Murasomiya is one of them, and another is…

"Especially Hikawa-kun, she's too self-centered. She's the main reason why you guys have 'physical panic' and it sparked the battle for Kuroba-kun."

Hikawa Makoto is a speedrunning goddess who gets to base at lightning speed.

Although her appearance led to a transformation in Kuroba Akira's heart, allowing him to honestly accept the love directed towards him, it was also because of her that the progress of everyone getting on base was greatly accelerated, causing Kuroba Akira to become overworked and ill. She can be described as a double-edged sword.

Furthermore, she bears primary responsibility for Kuroba Akira's tax inspection because she was only interested in Kuroba Akira and actively encouraged everyone to join, giving them an opportunity to lower their standards. Otherwise, most people would have been ashamed to participate in a group party.

Upon hearing this name, Ziyin's eyes lit up.

Yes, yes, yes! You should tell me more about that crazy woman!

Ziyin thought Makoto was too perverted. When she heard Makoto's views at the women's tea party, Ziyin thought they made a lot of sense. But after she officially started having sex, she found out that Makoto was a super perverted demon.

Why would anyone enjoy group sex?! A woman with absolutely no jealousy is terrifying! Anyone can jump in and get a piece of the action—it's utterly shameless! She might even find being watched more exciting… Is this supposed to be healthy competition, like fighting over who gets to eat chicken?!

Even afterwards, Ziyin felt a little sorry for Anri Hitomi. After all, if she had such a precious person by her side who would always disturb their time alone if she was discovered, Ziyin felt that she would definitely want to strangle her. She was even more disgusting than a love rival.

Fortunately, Hikawa Makoto's clutches haven't reached the house yet... so Shion doesn't plan to get involved at school either, the competition is just too fierce.

This is also the reason why Shion strongly opposed Tomita Haruka and Kuroba Akira living together.

She feared that Haruka Tomita would become the second Makoto Hikawa.

However, it now seems that Haruka Tomita is at the other extreme, different from Makoto Hikawa, and is a pure individualist, whose "other" refers solely to Akira Kuroba.

Seeing that Ziyin remained silent, Qingxia made further assurances.

"If you don't believe me, Ziyin, you can install a surveillance camera on me. I don't care."

Open and honest, without hiding anything, with a broad mind.

It seems that Da Lei is not only Qingxia's physical characteristic, but also her mental characteristic.

Since she had already said so much, Ziyin couldn't say anything more, otherwise she would be being unreasonable and would lose favor.

Moreover, with the mentality of "If I can't have it, you can't get it either," Ziyin decided to release Qingxia, who was targeting women, and her weapon, so that everyone could experience the feeling of being refuted by an impeccable argument.

"I understand... I'll do it your way."

She gave in!

Akira Kuroba felt as if he had witnessed a historic moment.

Ms. Shion's dominance within the family crumbles at this moment!

Honestly, Kuroba Akira almost wanted to applaud her, because she did something that Kuroba Akira could never do.

Qingxia clapped her hands and said with a bright smile.

"Alright, in that case, I'll take Kuroba's place and go take a bath with Shion."

Ziyin didn't say anything. As long as she wasn't bathing with Kuroba Akira, it didn't matter who she bathed with. Of course, if possible, she wanted to use the bathwater that Kuroba Akira had used, so she said to Kuroba Akira.

"The wise ruler should go and wash first."

"Okay, I'll go wash up first."

To be honest, Kuroba Akira felt there was no need for him to take a shower. After all, when he woke up, he found that his body had been cleaned up and there was no trace of the crime.

Furthermore, Makoto also mentioned that Shion's technique for washing his body was particularly skilled... it's likely that he was thoroughly cleaned, inside and out.

"What about the others?"

The adults who had been enjoying watching the whole teenage romance debate with great relish now realized it was time to get down to business.

Hijikata Isamu waved his hand and said.

"We don't need to, we weren't planning on sleeping anyway."

Nishimura Ryuya shrugged and said.

"Yes, for Yong and me, staying up late is the norm."

Kobayashi Mitsuru also wanted to ask the two of them about live streaming platforms.

"Me too, and judging from my current state... it seems I no longer need to shower or sleep."

Kobayashi is now a divine being, possessing a celestial body, immaculate and pure, and has no need for bathing.

Moreover, he doesn't need to rely on sleep to replenish his energy, because faith is also a kind of spiritual power. As long as his faith continues, Kobayashi Mitsuru can always maintain a spirited state.

Of course, there's no need to eat a meal; eating curry is purely for craving.

As for why Black Tail is always sleeping, it's because the cat she possesses needs to sleep. However, compared to ordinary cats, she is actually going against her instincts and sleeping very little. After all, ordinary cats nap for eighteen hours a day.

"I'll just wash last, as always. You guys go ahead and wash."

“Then I’ll wash with you, Mother-in-law. Qiu Zi isn’t here today, so I’ll take her place and help you scrub your back.”

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you."

Although Akiko came to work as a nanny for Kuroba Akira, she did not neglect the elderly in the family and truly took good care of Kobayashi's grandmother.

Grandma Kobayashi could also see that Akiko wasn't being insincere; she treated her like family to Akira Kuroba. So she liked Akiko very much and thought she was the perfect daughter-in-law... or rather, granddaughter-in-law.

It seems that although she doesn't have the luck of having a daughter-in-law, she does have a good luck with having a granddaughter-in-law... It's just that she feels Xiaotong should work harder, otherwise the first great-grandchild she holds might not be her direct bloodline.

"Amin, come straight to my room after you're done washing up. You know my room is a bit... messy, so I need to make room for two people to sleep."

Kuroba Akira also thought of Hongxiang's room, which didn't even have a place to stand. It really needed to be cleaned properly before there was a place to sleep, otherwise it would be better to sleep on the sofa.

"Okay, I understand. I'll help clean it up. Consider it a New Year's cleaning."

So Kuroba Akira first ran the hot water, then took a quick shower, and then went to Hongxiang's room to do the cleaning.

When it was Ziyin's and Qingxia's turn to take a bath, Ziyin entered the bathtub first, squinting as she watched Qingxia washing her hair...

After being freed from the constraints of a bra, Da Lei's liberated appearance became particularly eye-catching.

Wow, it's huge... It feels comparable to Aiyuan Moe, but the shapes are a bit different. Moe is teardrop-shaped, while Haruka is bamboo shoot-shaped.

However, Haruka's figure is slimmer than Moe's, with a more pronounced S-line, which is the result of her slender figure, probably due to her exercise.

However, in terms of visual effects, Moe is still better, after all, Shion has personally witnessed the trembling of a voluptuous girl.

It is said that that body type is the most comfortable for a man to hug... Fortunately, Mingjun was asleep at the time, otherwise he would definitely have fallen into it, and he would have concluded on the spot that he would definitely be outshone by other women.

Being pretty alone isn't really a big advantage anymore, at least not in terms of physical pleasure.

Of the four rows at the time, Ziyin's cup level was the lowest. Although she could barely shake it and hold it, the visual effect was not as good as the other three, which made her feel inferior.

Moreover, Ziyin couldn't help but feel resentful about these external factors. Even if she wanted to grow bigger, she couldn't, and supplementing her nutrition was useless.

This is the 'side effect' of her S-rank talent, Light Body and Flexible Body. In order to maintain her light body, Shion cannot evolve into a super-sized cup.

But actually, with her weight, she's already considered a super-heavyweight in her class. Her nutrition is all going to the right places, making her body look particularly well-proportioned and one of the most pleasing body types.

Moreover, her exceptional flexibility allows her to easily assume poses that other women cannot... So while she envies other women's large breasts, others are also envying her body.

It can only be said that for everyone, what they can't have is always the best.

After sensing Ziyin's gaze, Qingxia asked her.

"What's wrong, Ziyin?" A complicated expression appeared on her face. "Is my body really that unsightly?"

"How could that be... Your body is so healthy and beautiful, and so big... Mingjun always stares at you without blinking, don't tell me you didn't notice."

"Haha... Men are more easily attracted to this part of the body; I think it's a mammalian instinct."

"So I'm just wondering if my body is no longer attractive enough to a wise ruler..."

Long-lost feelings of inferiority resurfaced in Ziyin's heart.

"After calming down, I think it's not a bad thing that you stopped me, Qingxia... because Mingjun has been with more and more women, and I'm definitely not one of the best. What if one day he feels that my body is not good enough or useful enough, and then rejects me... I think I might even want to die."
