That's a Fool

At this moment.

Keiryu Doma had just finished grooming himself and was on his way.

It was a joke; as the Doma Family Head, whether he was out on inspection or meeting guests, he had his own set of grooming standards, though in the words of Sogo Doma, it was—a superfluous effort.

Doma Family, Council Hall.

Watching the rather smug Matsuzaki Family Head, the smile on Sogo Doma's face grew even wider.

"Oh, my, such a fine catering business; tell me, what would happen if the Totsuki Elite Ten and the God's Tongue both rated it as disgusting?"

Matsuzaki Family Head: "..."

"Regardless of anything else, I am a former (muttered softly) Elite Ten of Totsuki. I believe if I ask for a favor, they would be very willing to do so. Shall we try it, Matsuzaki Family Head?"

"No, you can't do this..."

Before he could finish, he suddenly thought of the fate of the Murakami Family Head.

Sogo Doma's smile did not fade: "So, will it be an arm or a leg?"

Snap.

Another respectable man had his leg broken in front of everyone, and finally, someone grew afraid: "No, I, I am the Yamaguchi Family Head, you cannot do this..."

"Ah, I've never heard of them!"

"Guards, guards!"

Someone seemed to have just reacted, but it was of no use.

Crackle, crackle!

Sogo Doma was already twisting his neck, the crisp sound like the tolling of a bell from hell.

"As expected, picking people off one by one is too much trouble. It's only when a whole group is together that a feast can truly unfold!"

He smiled, his fingers twitching incessantly, the grin on his face as ferocious as a demon from hell.

"Now, experience hell!"

--

No one knew exactly what happened inside, only that the screams of agony were—piercing to the ears.

Mr. Matsuzaki clutched his broken arm and swallowed hard; compared to the scene before him, he had indeed won the grand prize of luck.

Hearing the screams, Keiryu Doma ran toward the scene; in that moment, he even forgot the etiquette of a Family Head.

However, it was already too late.

What met Keiryu Doma's eyes was Sogo Doma holding up a member of the Doma Branch Family.

"Hehe, hahaha..." Looking at the dazed man in his hand, Sogo Doma laughed even more brilliantly: "Do you know who you were just talking about?"

"I, I don't know." The man was also in a state of chaos, but looking at Sogo's face, he trembled subconsciously.

"That is an idiot!"

Doma Branch Family representative: "??"

"But that idiot, five years ago, was still thinking about how to protect me. Just because of that idiot, you trash, what right do you have to arrange her fate?"

Doma Branch Family members: "..."

The gathered Family Heads: "..."

Silence, endless silence; after all, Keiryu Doma had already arrived.

"Sogo Doma!" Looking at the chaos on the floor and the various Family Heads beaten to the ground, Keiryu Doma was exceptionally furious, and he roared.

"Thud!"

Casually tossing the person in his hand over, Sogo Doma remained all smiles.

"Look, you're angry again. Didn't I say that getting angry leads to high blood pressure and hurts the liver? They're just a bunch of irrelevant people; just clean up the mess. By the way, old man, are you here to clean up the mess?"

"Sogo Doma!" Keiryu Doma spoke again, this time, his voice even louder.

Ah, he was indeed angry!

Sogo Doma turned and walked away; years of experience told him there was no need to clash head-on with an angry old man.

"Do you think this matter will just end like this?" Watching Sogo leave, Keiryu Doma shouted in a rage.

These words made Sogo Doma turn his head, smiling as he said: "I am a madman; I have a certificate from a doctor."

Silence once again.

How could Keiryu Doma not know about that certificate? After the Chiba Shinno Elementary School incident, it was he who took Sogo to get it, but back then, Sogo hadn't been this aggressive!

It was a pity he didn't know a saying from the Celestial Empire: a dragon has a reverse scale, and touching it will surely bring wrath!

Likewise, Sogo Doma didn't know why he felt so agitated, to the point of beating people up.

Watching Sogo Doma's retreating back, Keiryu Doma finally came to his senses. Looking at the many Family Heads lying on the ground, Keiryu Doma covered his forehead, feeling that he was about to fall into "cleaning up the mess" mode again.

Doma Family main residence.

Umaru's room.

"Shredded squid paired with wasabi-flavored potato chips—truly a top-tier indulgence, hehe..." Watching his little sister curled up into a ball on the floor, Sogo Doma felt a throbbing headache.

Seriously, shredded squid and potato chips? Are you really the sister of someone who was—(he muttered softly again)—a member of the Totsuki Elite Ten?

Seeing you like this.

Erina would cry, wouldn't she? As someone with the God's Tongue, she would definitely cry, right?

"What should I pair with vinegar kelp? Let me think..." Umaru Doma was deep in thought over her snacks.

Sogo Doma: "..."

After a long moment, he revealed an evil grin.

"Miss Umaru, someone is here to see you!" Sogo Doma said, playing the role of a servant.

"Eh?" Umaru Doma??

Looking at the snacks and cola scattered all over the floor, she fell into deep thought—as if.

"Oh no, oh no, who could be coming to see me at a time like this? Is it Oto-chan? If Oto-chan sees me like this..."

Umaru Doma, lost in fantasy...

"Umaru, I never thought you were this kind of person. Not only do you snack mindlessly, but you chug cola—how are you any different from a shut-in otaku?"

Clutching her hair, Umaru Doma cried out: "Ah, no! I am not a fat otaku!"

Wait.

"What if it's not Oto-chan, but the timid Nanako?"

Umaru Doma, falling into fantasy once again.

"U-Umaru, did you eat all of these?"

The Great Demon King Umaru patted her stomach: "That's right, it was all me. Are you scared?"

"No, it's impossible! Umaru is supposed to have the persona of a refined young lady; snacks and cola don't fit at all!" Nanako cried as she ran out of the Doma Family residence.

Very good, the Great Demon King swap was a success... as if! No matter how you look at it, that's just a friendship-ending scenario.

While she was busy with her wild imagination.

"Well then, Miss Umaru, they're coming in!" Sogo Doma, the impostor, spoke up again.

"Wait!" Umaru Doma hurriedly shouted to stop him. No matter the situation, she didn't have time to clean up; she hadn't even changed her clothes yet.

Should she pretend to be sick?

While she pondered, her height had already increased.

However.

Although she had returned to her refined young lady appearance, the snack bags all over the floor and the unfinished "fat-boy happy water" seemed to be accusing her of something.

The sliding door opened. Seeing who it was, Umaru Doma went: "@_@"

Then she curled back into a ball.

"Tch, so it's just Sogo Onii-chan. Remember to close the door..."

Sogo Doma: "..."

Has it been too long since he last disciplined this good-for-nothing sister?

"Right, right, Onii-chan, have you read this novel?" Just as he was about to speak, Umaru rushed over first.

"Hey, hey, don't get so close, I can't breathe! What novel? I said three years ago that the industry is dead—completely, utterly dead, without a shred of attachment!" Sogo Doma struggled while blocking Umaru's assault.

At this moment, the book in Umaru Doma's hand was already pressed against his face; he had no choice but to dodge.

"Just take a look at it first." Umaru, using a spoiled tone.

Sogo Doma: "..."

"A romance novel? You know I'm a total amateur when it comes to romance novels!" Scratching his head, Sogo Doma looked helpless.

"Erina is reading it too, you know. I heard she's still angry that this novel isn't popular."

"That's just her spoiled young lady temper, don't pay her any mind!"

"B-but I think it's really good!" Umaru Doma gave him a deadpan look.

Sogo Doma.

"I get it, I get it, you idiot!" What a headache-inducing girl...
