This way it feels more ceremonial; otherwise, if Shuya doesn't say anything, it feels like the subordinates are sidelining the Alliance Leader.

This way of getting along is a tacit understanding between Shuya and them.

Shuya felt that it was good that he didn't have to go through all that trouble. Otherwise, it would be unbearable for him to deal with official business every day.

Tamamo Ren gave a concise report on the affairs, which mainly consisted of revenues from various industries.

The Monster's private affairs are none of Shuya's business. They all have bad tempers, and fighting among themselves is common. It's impossible to manage them all. Tamamo Ren wouldn't tell Shuya either, otherwise she would talk about it all day long.

After Tamamo Ren finished her report, he and Shuya chatted about the recent lives of other high-ranking Monster, Shuya gave them casual replies.

While they were chatting leisurely, the atmosphere on Yukino's side turned tense as Kawasaki Saki got into a verbal argument with them.

Shuya listened for a few minutes; it was nothing more than trivial stuff like Kawasaki Saki not wanting to give up her part-time job and Yukino and the others not being able to persuade her.

He continued drinking, unmoved.

"Alliance Leader, should I handle this?"

Tamamo Ren looked like she wanted to share his burdens.

Shuya laughed and said, "No need. We can't help with everything, or they won't grow. Let's wait a bit longer."

He puts it nicely, but he's just lazy.

Tamamo Ren naturally didn't refute this; he nodded in complete agreement. "Indeed, young people should be given more experience and training."

Shuya listened to the piano and chatted with him, while also paying attention to what Yukino and the others were saying.

The conflict between the two sides gradually escalated, Kawasaki Saki pointed her finger at Yukino, saying:

"I heard your parents are important people, is that true? How could a pampered young lady like you, who never worries about food or clothing, possibly understand my situation? And here you are, lecturing me with grand pronouncements."

"Hehe."

"Call."

Upon hearing this, Shuya and Tamamo Ren couldn't help but laugh.

"A rich young lady..." Indeed, that word could be used to describe Yukino.

However, she is not some delicate flower; in fact, there are very few girls with her rich experiences.

Upon hearing Kawasaki Saki's words, Yukino's face showed a look of surprise.

She was a little stunned because she had never been told that before.

Her past experiences flashed through her mind, and she felt a sense of absurdity.

Seeing Yukino's stunned Yuigahama, Yuihama assumed she was injured and spoke up to defend her, "Wait, this has nothing to do with Yukino's family!"

Yukino woke up, somewhat amused and exasperated, and pulled back the angry Yuigahama: "I'm fine. I was just a little startled."

"It seems that persuading Kawasaki-kun won't be easy. Shall we go back and discuss it?"

Yukino stood up and turned to look at Shuya.

Shuya raised his glass to her to see her off, indicating that he wanted to chat for a while longer.

Yukino turned around. "Let's go, Yuigahama- chan."

"Huh?"

Yui watched Yuigahama a daze Yukino put down the money to pay the bill and then left with her.

Hikigaya was released.

But he didn't care.

Hikigaya approached Kawasaki Saki as if he had something on his mind.

After he finished speaking, he got up and left.

He thought Yukino had paid for him, but she hadn't, which led to him being awkwardly called back by Kawasaki to pay... In short, it was very embarrassing.

"Hehe, Alliance Leader, you have some very interesting classmates."

Tamamo Ren smiled.

"It's quite interesting."

Shuya nodded, then stood up as well.

"Alliance Leader, do you need any help?"

Tamamo Ren stood up and asked again.

Section 547, Chapter 508: Do you want me to be your mistress?

"Hmm, come along. Anyway, I'll talk to her."

"Clear."

Tamamo Ren followed behind Shuya.

Shuya walked over to the bar where Kawasaki Saki was and sat down.

"Hey, Kawasaki-kun, I heard you're short on cash?"

"... Are you in cahoots with those people from earlier?"

After talking with Kawasaki Saki Yukino was in a bad mood, and her tone was also very unpleasant.

But when she saw Shuya's face, her tone instinctively softened.

Just like men's attitudes change drastically when they see a beautiful woman, women's attitudes also change drastically when they see a handsome man.

What do you want to say to me? Are you trying to give me money?

Kawasaki Saki said calmly, continuing to wipe the cups.

Shuya said, "If you want, it's not impossible. How many do you want?"

Anyway, he himself doesn't know how rich he is. If giving her money can easily end the matter, Shuya consider it an act of charity.

Is it to help impoverished students? Or to fund courses? Or to support virtual YouTubers?

Oh well, whatever.

Kawasaki Saki:"..."

She suddenly blurted out, "You want me to be your mistress?"

"?"

Shuya slowly typed out a question mark.

Become my mistress? You're probably just trying to take advantage of me, freeloading off me.

Kawasaki Saki is decent-looking, but getting close to her won't be so easy.

Shuya noticed that Tamamo Ren was already trying hard to suppress her laughter.

"Where... did you learn to say that?"

Shuya helpless; he hadn't expected to become a laughing stock.

Kawasaki Saki bluntly stated, "That's how it's portrayed in TV dramas."

"Watch less stupid TV dramas in the future."

Shuya sighed:

"Getting back to the point, I understand your situation. For me, giving money directly is also a way to resolve your brother's request. What do you think?"

"I'm tempted, but I guess I can't accept it. It's suspicious no matter how you look at it that a stranger is giving me money for no reason... Although I don't think you'd want anything from me, and my family doesn't have anything you'd be interested in."

Kawasaki Saki's logic is sound.

"Then let's go with the second option: you change jobs and stop doing this kind of late-night work that violates school regulations."

"So the conclusion is that I'll become your mistress? You'll be keeping me as your sugar daddy?"

"Call."

Tamamo Ren let out a small laugh, which caught Kawasaki Saki's attention.

"Who are you...?"

He instantly composed himself and bowed with impeccable manners. "I am merely a lowly subordinate of the Alliance Leader; you need not concern yourself with me."

Shuya said, "You're being modest. If even you're just a lowly subordinate, then nobody in the alliance is famous."

What are you talking about?

Kawasaki Saki looked puzzled.

Shuya waved his hand. "You don't need to worry about him. He's... kind of like your boss's boss, right?"

"That's one way to put it."

Tamamo Ren nodded.

"Hmm? This..."

Kawasaki Saki was skeptical, Shuya was too lazy to explain, so he asked Tamamo Ren to call out the person in charge here to testify.

She was speechless with surprise when she saw how respectfully her boss treated Tamamo Ren.

She thought to herself, this person is her boss's boss, and this boss's boss claims to be Shuya's subordinate, so what exactly is Shuya's identity?

Isn't he just a celebrity who knows martial arts?

Kawasaki Saki's understanding of Shuya is very common; she is unfamiliar with the world of superhumans.

Under the control of the Earth Federation, information about the supernatural is restricted, and ordinary people who can't even log into Hidden Website are unlikely to see this kind of information.

Therefore, she always thought that Shuya was just someone who knew a little bit of martial arts.

Shuya personally didn't want to use this kind of clichéd, pretentious plot.

Seeing that Kawasaki Saki had a basic understanding of the situation, he said directly, "When I said I'd help you change jobs, I meant I'd introduce you to other opportunities."

I mean normal work.

He particularly emphasized the last sentence.

Kawasaki Saki said, "If a normal job paid more, I wouldn't be doing this one. But this society is definitely not that easy."

She is young, but has already suffered a lot of hardship in society.

Shuya laughed and said, "You don't need to worry about that. I have plenty of job opportunities here, and I'll earn more than you do now."

Tamamo Ren chimed in, "The Alliance Leader is absolutely right. I hope Kawasaki will think this over carefully and not waste this rare opportunity."

"Haha, you're exaggerating."

Kawasaki Saki could hardly believe it.

Someone suddenly appears and offers me a great job—how can I believe that...? Are they trying to sell my organs?

She was a little wary, but the bar manager's respect for Shuya and the others earlier wasn't fake. Shuya was a famous celebrity; surely he wouldn't lie to her?

Kawasaki Saki was completely confused.

Shuya said, "I think you have a good appearance and voice. You could be a model for my fashion magazine, or see if my agency would take you. Alternatively, you could work in the Alliance. Anyway, you'll definitely earn more than you are now. And with my help, the work will be very easy."

"Ah, this..."

She still hesitated and didn't dare to agree.

Shuya didn't have the patience to explain in detail to her, and said to Tamamo Ren, "That's fine then, the rest is up to you, you talk to her."

"It is my honor to be able to assist the Alliance Leader."

Tamamo Ren smiles.

"Okay, then that's settled."

After Shuya nodded to Kawasaki Saki, he got up and left. Tamamo Ren didn't speak to her immediately, but saw him out first.

However, just as Shuya reached the entrance of the bar, he ran into a stunningly beautiful woman who had been playing tricks on him and avoiding him for many days.
