It's All That Man's Influence. / Then Let's Settle This with a Shokugeki!

There was a hole in the middle of his hair, which looked quite comical.

Shinomiya Kaguya glanced sideways, her cold and indifferent gaze seeming to emanate from the abyss.

"Don't forget, I am the strong one now, and you are the weak one..."

"And the strong are meant to ruthlessly humiliate the weak!"

33

Chapter 33 is filled with that man's shadow.

To her enemies, Shinomiya Kaguya now appears somewhat terrifying.

As for friends, Shinomiya Kaguya makes people feel very safe now.

Hayasaka Ai looked at how the innocent, sheltered Young Lady she remembered had evolved to this extent, and a sudden realization dawned on her.

She hadn't noticed anything unusual during their usual time together, but it was only at times like this that she realized how much that man had changed Kaguya-sama.

Now, Kaguya is practically a carbon copy of that man, even her confident, chuunibyou-ish attitude reflects it.

"Consider that arrow enough to repay the Shinomiya Family's debt of gratitude, okay?"

Shinomiya Kaguya glanced sideways, but no one dared to answer.

Even the usually assertive brothers were momentarily intimidated by this aura.

[So, after stripping away that aura, he's just a useless fellow.]

She sighed inwardly, then turned and left.

Since there's no response, I'll take that as a yes.

The weak have no right to choose; they are destined to be chosen.

She deeply understood the meaning of those words.

"From now on, I will no longer serve as a monitor. I will submit my resignation later."

After leaving a message, Hayasaka Ai also departed.

This time, no one stopped them.

"He's simply... a red-eyed demon!"

The bodyguards exchanged glances, still shaken.

Don't blame them for slacking off; their annual salary is over ten million yen, why are you risking your life?

"How can it be repaired!"

"Damn it! How dare you humiliate me like this!"

After a long while, a furious roar finally came from inside the villa.

After the car on its return journey.

"Kaguya-sama, has this meant you've completely broken ties with the Shinomiya Family? What should you do next?"

Hayasaka Ai asked worriedly.

Although Shinomiya Kaguya has never had a high social standing in her family, the treatment she enjoys is something that ordinary people can only dream of. If all of that were to disappear, she would probably find it difficult to adapt to that kind of life.

"It's alright, I'll support myself. But it's you, Hayasaka, who will suffer if you lose this job, won't the Hayasaka family be in a bad place?"

"There's nothing we can do but hope for the best... However, that damned old man should still be alive, so it's unlikely that he'll completely break ties with the Hayasaka family."

"Alright, I'm a little tired too. Hayasaka, can I borrow your leg for a bit?"

"Kaguya-sama must be feeling a bit disappointed that it's not Hasegawa-kun sitting here."

"Hayasaka...!"

"Kaguya-sama, I'm no longer your maid, stop threatening me!"

The two, relieved of their burdens, joked with each other as usual, comforting each other's hearts.

Soon, Shinomiya Kaguya fell asleep with Hayasaka Ai's thigh as a lap pillow.

"I see. Doing this kind of thing must be exhausting for Kaguya-sama..."

"Injuring someone with an arrow is definitely a bad experience."

"But to protect us..."

Hayasaka Ai understood Kaguya's emotional exhaustion, smiled slightly, and revealed a gentle look in her eyes.

The Hasegawa family.

"My other half, where is your other eye?"

Kōko didn't find it funny to see her older brother turning a blind eye; instead, she asked questions like a curious child.

"I'm watching a good show."

Hasegawa Izumi responded.

"My other half was secretly watching the show all by themselves."

Kōko pouted.

My Little Sister meant, of course: Let me see!

"It's over."

At that moment Hasegawa Izumi opened her other eye.

When he saw Kaguya fire that exhilarating arrow, he couldn't help but secretly exclaim, "Good!"

Some stories, even if you've read them a thousand times, are still incredibly satisfying!

Even the so-called "superior people" can still make a fool of themselves when they are beaten and killed.

After Kaguya's triumphant departure, he, respecting her privacy, naturally severed the mental connection.

"My other half purpose, didn't you?!"

Kōko was even more dissatisfied.

"Kōko, you only have one month left until your final exams, right? Are you confident this time?"

He resorted to changing the subject as one of the ten ways to appease his Little Sister.

"Hmph, of course! Due to the difference in the flow of time, my long training in the Blood Nest has given me a thorough understanding of the laws of the human world!"

Kōko patted his chest with no small amount of pride.

"The day when you My other half, fulfill your promise is not far off!"

"Good luck then! I'm all set."

Several days later.

"Brother, what are you going to do to avenge this humiliation?"

"I plan to spend a lot of money to hire even more powerful Ability User to protect us, apply for gun licenses for our bodyguards, and then use all means to drain her of all her resources..."

Shinomiya Koukou and Shinomiya Seiryuu were discussing how to deal with the mistress's daughter, whom they had previously looked down upon.

As a spoiled son of a top conglomerate, such power is indeed formidable, but as long as one is well-prepared, it is not something to be afraid of.

Just then, the villa's front door was suddenly pushed open.

They were greeted by someone they knew very well, the founder of the Shinomiya Group and their father Shinomiya Ganan.

The man, who had been lying on his sickbed, barely clinging to life and looking old and frail, now appeared remarkably energetic.

"Father, you... how did you get discharged from the hospital?"

"Dad, how are you feeling?"

Faced with the true ruler of the Shinomiya Group, the two immediately backed down.

"If I don't come out, the Shinomiya Family will be destroyed!"

An angry expression appeared on Shinomiya Ganan's face. She tapped her cane on the ground, the sound echoing in the empty hall.

"From this day forward, Kaguya is the sole heir of the Shinomiya Family. Do you understand?"

He said it directly.

"What!"

"How could you do this! She's just a mistress's daughter, maybe not even..."

The two brothers were terrified.

"Enough!"

"You just need to remember this, and recognize your place. I will inform everyone about this."

Shinomiya Yan remained as assertive as ever, and under the invisible pressure, the two brothers had no choice but to bow their heads and submit.

"Yes."

Soon, news of Shinomiya Ganan's miraculous recovery and his confirmation as the successor spread Tokyo.

The celebrities and nobles who had previously lost touch called again to inquire about his recovery, as everyone had their own guesses.

Shinomiya Ganan didn't shy away from the topic, but she didn't reveal too much information either, only saying that it was someone's help.

Because of his status and position, he was difficult to coerce, and although everyone wanted to know the specific information, they had no choice but to give up.

"Kaguya-sama, that bastard old man has been discharged from the hospital! And also..."

As Shinomiya Kaguya was at home reminiscing about the past and preparing to leave the Shinomiya Family to fend for herself, she suddenly received a call from Hayasaka.

After hanging up the phone, she suddenly smiled with relief, as if remembering something. Then she typed a message and sent it to someone.

[Thanks.]

Chapter 34 Let's have a Food Wars!

"The investigation into the Holy Chef has concluded, and no abnormalities have been found so far."

"It seems the Invisible Management Bureau has indeed abandoned its pawn, Death."

"She's a good older sister, and I think we can recruit her to our Combat Power to make up for the shortcomings in our team composition."

"Club President, what is your opinion?"

Ever since the day they enjoyed the spiritual power boost from the rare ingredients in the hot pot, the girls couldn't forget that feeling and quickly remembered the method they had discussed before.

They secretly agreed to let the name of the Holy Chef shine once again.

"Let's leave it at that then, regarding the oversight of the Holy Chef."

"As Rikka's older sister, she also has sufficient qualifications."

"Let me guide her into New world this weekend!"

Hasegawa Izumi nodded, approving the resolution.

The girls all smiled.

This is a rare instance of unification.

That evening.

After the Takanashi Rikka.

"Sister, the Sage is coming over this weekend."

"Has your relationship progressed to this point?"

Takanashi Touka, whose spirits had been dampened by working overtime, suddenly perked up. Her tone remained calm, but carried a clear hint of teasing.

The two sisters' relationship is indeed much more harmonious now than it was before.

No, that's not it!
