The following morning, on Island of Gen'ei, the media was filled with news of a mysterious explosion in Itogami City.

Newspapers published large images of the attacked and damaged warehouse street, while television and video websites continuously broadcast eyewitness accounts.

The damage occurred at the warehouses of a large food company, estimated to be over sixty buildings.

The connecting bridge and monorail tracks between East Island and South Island were also severely damaged, with direct losses alone exceeding seven billion US dollars.

The indirect losses exceeded 50 billion US dollars, and the fact that there were no casualties can be considered a stroke of luck amidst the misfortune.

"Seriously?! These Special Zone Security Force personnel are really incompetent!"

After breakfast, William, sipping his coffee, frowned and said somewhat dejectedly.

The residents of Island of Gen'ei speculate that a mysterious meteorite fell on the Island of Gen'ei last night, causing the massive explosion.

However, in reality, last night, members of the Special Zone Security Force, using the newly developed tracking system by Aiba Asagi, managed to catch the guy who was controlling the white giant familiar who caused the explosion in the research institute area a couple of days ago.

The outcome was predictable: the Special Zone Security Force was almost completely wiped out, and the enemy managed to retreat unscathed after causing extensive damage.

However, compared to his calm demeanor, Kishiryu Yukina, sitting at the opposite table, had almost furrowed her brows in worry.

"Why, Yukina, are you so bothered by this?"

William put down his coffee cup, picked up a tissue box from the table, wiped his hands, and said softly.

"Yes, we still don't quite understand his specific purpose. Allowing someone like him to roam the island could easily lead to casualties."

Kishiryu Yukina replied in a tone that sounded like she was angry.

"So I'd say she really is an overly righteous young lady."

William narrowed his eyes, looking at Kishiryu Yukina exuded a gloomy aura, and pondered.

"So, after school today, Yukina, would you like to come with me to catch this criminal?"

While Yaze was helping William put on his suit, he spoke to Kishiryu Yukina in a seemingly joking tone.

"Eh--!"

Kishiryu Yukina's eyes lit up instantly, but then dimmed again as she shook her head regretfully.

"No, teacher, my job is to protect your safety. How could I possibly lead you to a dangerous place?"

"The problem is, if we don't deal with this guy, Island of Gen'ei could very well face a food crisis."

Upon hearing Kishiryu Yukina's objection, William did not give the order directly. Instead, he extended his finger and lightly tapped Kishiryu Yukina's forehead in the air.

"Food crisis?"

"That's right, do you think Fufu and Xia Yin disappeared this morning?"

It was only then that Kishiryu Yukina realized that there were only the two of them eating at the long dining table.

She knew very well what was going on between her master and Nangong Natsuki; the two of them got up very early and took the first flight back to Japan.

My roommate, Kozuki Sayaka, had just left the house.

Her job was to escort Aurora, who had morning club activities, to school. Of course, she was overjoyed when William gave her this task.

"Yes, where did Her Highness the Princess and Xia Yin go?"

Looking at the empty table, Kishiryu Yukina couldn't help but ask.

"Fufu went back to Aldikia to manage the food supplies. Xia Yin just went back to visit her family along the way. I sent them both back this morning using spatial magic."

"Food distribution?"

"That's right, the damage and economic losses caused last night are actually not a big deal."

"The real problem is that three of the four major grain depots on Island of Gen'ei were completely destroyed last night."

"The food inside has all been used up, and now only one granary remains to supply the entire island."

"This--!"

Kishiryu Yukina instantly understood the importance of this matter; no matter what, food is the most important thing for living things in nature.

Despite the poor accommodations and the constant terrorist attacks, the residents of Island of Gen'ei, who have seen their share of storms, are not too alarmed if the government provides reassurance.

However, if a sufficient food supply cannot be maintained, the residents will immediately panic, and then things will become troublesome.

"Couldn't we urgently ship some food from Japan?"

"Kishiryu Yukina said somewhat anxiously."

Upon hearing Kishiryu Yukina say those words, William gave her a strange look, then said with a hint of amusement.

"Yukina, have you forgotten how much the Japanese government hates me?"

Whatever else Kishiryu Yukina wanted to say next, she fell silent.

That's right. Originally, William had forcefully seized control of Island of Gen'ei from the Japanese government.

The Japanese government at the time dared not utter a word due to William's power. However, their resentment was already considerable.

At that time, the purchase of food from the Japanese government almost completely came to a standstill, and most of it was transported from Aldikia by ferry.

Furthermore, his mentor has now returned to Japan and is working on the Lion King Agency's secession from the Japanese government.

Relations between the two countries will inevitably reach a freezing point the moment the news breaks.

At this point, it was certainly impossible to expect to purchase large quantities of food from the Japanese government.

"What should we do then?!"

Kishiryu Yukina couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.

"What do you mean, what to do? Just do it the same way as before, transport the grain from Aldikia by ferry."

"It's just that instead of the usual one ship every two weeks, we're now sending five ships out at the same time."

"Is the food in just one warehouse enough to feed the entire island?"

"It's barely possible to hold out until the ferry to Aldikia arrives, but in the meantime, this warehouse absolutely cannot be allowed to break down again."

Kishiryu Yukina's small face was full of conflicted expression.

She understood that this was a difficult choice William had presented her with.
