The Third Wheel and a New Home
This is the appetite of a woman named Aiba Asagi. Despite eating so much, she possesses qualities that other women can only dream of.
That means no matter how much she eats, she won't gain weight in the wrong places; instead, the places where she should gain weight become increasingly prominent.
Picking up a tissue from the paper towel box on the table, wiping her mouth, Aiba Asagi complained.
"What do you think? It's all because the Artificial Island Management Corporation gave me a troublesome and tiring job."
"So last night I had just finished showering and was about to go to bed when I had to get up and work until this morning."
"What kind of job is it that makes you feel troubled?"
Akatsuki Kojo asked curiously.
In his view, Aiba Asagi was definitely one of the world's top computer geniuses, and anything that Aiba Asagi found troublesome must be no small matter.
William was equally interested in this, but since the island was now his, he knew that interrupting would only provoke Aiba Asagi to take her anger out on him, so he kept quiet.
Besides, Akatsuki Kojo asked for him, so he can just sit back and enjoy the fruits of his labor.
"There's nothing we can do. Yesterday, several research institutes in the West District were destroyed for unknown reasons, and streets and other facilities also suffered varying degrees of damage."
"So last night I was urgently reassigned to readjust and balance the electronic control system in West District."
Aiba Asagi kept complaining about the incompetence of the Artificial Island Management Corporation's technicians, and kept spouting all sorts of obscure and incomprehensible words.
Therefore, apart from William, who had a deeper understanding of technology, everyone else present looked completely bewildered.
"You insisted on completing a task that would require the combined efforts of dozens of small teams, all by yourself, and in one night no less. The technicians would probably cry when they hear about your masterpiece."
William spoke in a tone that seemed to be one of sighing.
"There was nothing I could do; the compensation they offered was just too generous! So I did put in a little effort."
Aiba Asagi spoke in a rather casual tone.
William was completely at a loss for words, rubbing his forehead and saying helplessly.
"I'm telling you, your family is clearly not short of money, and this island is practically mine, so you don't need to work so hard!"
"Also, didn't I tell you to go there and take up your post directly? Why are you still in an employment status?"
"Snort--!"
"I don't want to become a corporate slave in a studio at such a young age! Besides, the reason I'm in such a hurry to finish work is for the sake of your island."
Aiba Asagi snorted coldly, and the others quickly moved aside to avoid being drawn into the battle.
"Okay, okay!"
William immediately raised his hand to indicate his surrender, and then smoothly changed the subject.
"Do you know what caused yesterday's explosion? I remember those research institutes are quite close to residential areas, right? I don't allow research institutes near residential areas to conduct dangerous research, do I?"
William poked at the already cut steak on the plate with his steel fork and said lazily.
After all, this can only be used as a topic of conversation during the meal; it's definitely not a big deal.
If it were something important, Nangong Natsuki should have reported it to him yesterday. The fact that she didn't means it was just a trivial matter.
"It's said that it was caused by a white humanoid familiar going berserk somewhere."
Akatsuki Kojo, Yase Motoki, and Sentouki Yuma were immediately stunned.
"Wow! Just how powerful is this vampire?"
He couldn't be bothered with other people's business. If he had to handle every little thing on such a big island, wouldn't his subordinates be too incompetent?
However, it's perfectly fine to treat it as casual conversation during meals.
"I'm not entirely sure about that. I only heard that this familiar directly annihilated the Special Zone Security Force that came to stop the disaster."
"And I heard that the battle was ended with just one strike."
Aiba Asagi tilted her head, thought for a moment, and said.
"Oh my god--!"
Akatsuki Kojo and Yase Motoki exchanged glances, both with solemn expressions on their faces.
As an outsider, Sentouki Yuma was unaware of the Special Zone Security Force's combat capabilities, but the other two knew everything about them, especially Yase Motoki, who had a direct understanding of the Special Zone Security Force's fighting strength.
"Yase, in your opinion, what level of strength does this vampire possess?"
William, who also knew nothing about the Special Zone Security Force, asked Yase Motoki about it.
Yase Motoki pondered for a long while before speaking hesitantly.
"Based on my estimation, it has at least the strength of a third-generation elder."

"This was a premeditated attack."
This was the opinion of everyone present; if it were a young vampire who did it, it would be somewhat understandable.
Because vampires who are still young may lack sufficient magical power, their familiars may not be satisfied, leading to them going berserk.
The problem is that the elders of the third generation of vampires have all lived for more than three hundred years. In such a long time, the magical power accumulated over that period of time would be an enormous number.
Even someone as stupid as a pig can completely control the familiar within their body.
Therefore, the claim that the rampage of the familiars caused last night's disaster is utter nonsense.
"Alright, don't worry about it. I reckon this will be resolved soon."
William said nonchalantly and quickened his eating pace slightly, since class was about to start.
"That's true!"
The others all nodded in agreement; the visible fighting strength of Island of Gen'ei was now quite formidable.
A mere third-generation vampire elder couldn't possibly cause any trouble on this island.
