You're Little Ai's Enemy Now, Too / Whoever Makes Little Ai Unhappy, I'll Make Even More Unhappy

Today is the last day. As usual, after visiting other dessert shops, Xiao Ai came to Erina's shop to find her.

As soon as I reached the door, I noticed that the atmosphere inside was a bit off.

A man in a black trench coat was standing in the hall spouting nonsense, while Erina was trembling all over.

Xiao Ai frowned, and two longswords emitting a fluorescent glow appeared in her hands.

These two fluorescent swords, which look like children's toys, are the 'Evil Holy Sword Death Victory Sword' that Xiao Ai Aiyou bought.

If anyone dares to take desserts from her, Xiao Ai will not hesitate to use them to defend her food.

She walked quickly to Erina Nakiri's side and said softly, "Erina, Xiao Ai is hungry."

Chapter 20, Section 486: You're also Xiao Ai's enemy.

Miyamoto Musashi and Rindou Kobayashi walked arm in arm through the mountain area, having just finished eating at Eishi Tsukasa's shop.

"Hey! How's it? Isn't Tsukasa's cooking delicious?"

Rindou Kobayashi highly praised Eishi Tsukasa's cooking, and smiled as he discussed the delicious dishes they had just eaten with Musashi.

"Excellent, excellent! No wonder you deserve to be the number one seat among the Elite Ten!"

Musashi was also very satisfied with Eishi Tsukasa's cooking, and expressed his approval of the first seat of the Elite Ten's skill.

She said, "We finally managed to eat at all the shops in five days, haha!"

Rindou Kobayashi nodded repeatedly, "I never expected to find like-minded friends to be with. I'm so happy."

While sampling the food at each of the Moon Banquet Festival shops, she encountered Musashi and Artoria, who happened to be doing the same thing as her.

Rindou Kobayashi and Musashi hit it off immediately. Compared to the serious and earnest Artoria, Rindou Kobayashi was clearly more to Musashi's liking.

After a while, the two of them started to ditch Artoria and go to the Moon Banquet Festival together.

Musashi asked Rindou Kobayashi, "By the way, you're also Elite Ten, right? And the second seat, too. When will you let me try your cooking?"

As she spoke, she laughed and patted Rindou Kobayashi on the back, "Could it be that it tastes too bad and you're afraid to open a shop?"

Rindou Kobayashi was completely unfazed by Musashi's teasing, and she laughed heartily, saying, "Nothing is more enjoyable than eating!"

Musashi laughed even harder upon hearing this.

"That's right, that's right! I knew we got along so well."

The two were walking along, chatting and laughing, when they suddenly noticed a commotion in the crowd ahead, as if something had happened.

"Let's go take a look."

Erina was terrified by Azami Nakiri's arrival; the shadow of her childhood haunted her, and she began to tremble uncontrollably.

Xiao Ai stepped forward and said to Erina, who was shivering, "Erina, Xiao Ai is hungry."

Azami Nakiri glanced sideways at Xiao Ai and said to Erina, "Erina, the dishes you make aren't for people who don't know how to appreciate them."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ai exclaimed, "That's outrageous!"

If you don't give her the desserts Erina makes, then she's her enemy, and enemies must be eliminated.

Xiao Ai raised her sword, as if to chop Nakiri Azami down.

Seeing Erina grabbed Xiao Ai and shielded her behind her.

Her long-standing fear of her father led her to view Azami Nakiri, as the most terrifying person, fearing that he would harm Xiao Ai.

Erina lowered her head and said softly, "Xiao Ai is my friend."

"Hmm?" Azami Nakiri frowned, staring at Erina with displeasure. "I'm heartbroken by your taste in friends."

He gently shook his head. "Erina, you should be careful in choosing your friends. Don't associate with this immature little brat who's just playing with toys."

Erina kept her head down and remained silent.

She didn't turn around to look at Xiao Ai's expression, but she could sense that Xiao Ai was watching her, waiting for her answer.

Erina clenched her fists and then slowly released them. She gritted her teeth and, as if using all her strength, shook her head almost imperceptibly.

"Xiao Ai is my friend."

Azami Nakiri frowned even more deeply, feeling extremely dissatisfied that Erina had actually defied him for someone else.

He said coldly, "It seems that I have neglected to discipline you while I have not been by your side all these years."

"I'm back now."

"Erina, it's time for you to get back on the right track in your life."

After finishing speaking, Azami Nakiri seemed to lose interest, turned around and left the hall, heading towards the door.

Pushing open the gate, a large group of black cars was parked outside. Upon learning that Senzaemon Nakiri Azami Nakiri returned to Totsuki, Senzaemon Nakiri rushed over to drive him away.

"Get out of the Tōtsuki Academy! This is not a place for you!"

Azami Nakiri was completely unconcerned about Senzaemon Nakiri's rude attitude. He said calmly, "I never expected you to come and greet me in person. I am truly honored, Father-in-law."

"I have said that you are no longer allowed to use the name Nakiri. Get out! You have no right to set foot here."

Senzaemon Nakiri remained unyielding and his attitude was extremely firm, clearly showing his extreme dislike for Azami Nakiri.

Azami Nakiri calmly stated, "I am the one who honed Erina's innate God Tongue to such an extent. Even if I am banished, the bloodline and education will not disappear."

"My biggest failure was handing over Erina back then to you."

Senzaemon Nakiri glared, his hair and beard standing on end, and declared resolutely, "Such a failure must never be allowed to happen again!"

Outside the door, the father-in-law and son-in-law were locked in a fierce argument, while inside the restaurant, Xiao Ai gently shook Erina.

"Erina, Erina."

Erina Nakiri gently shook her head and said, "Xiao Ai, I can't make you dessert today..."

She was in a state of confusion and felt weak all over. Fear had taken hold of her, so she had no energy to make desserts.

Xiao Ai's eyes widened instantly, and without saying a word, she immediately picked up her sword and walked towards the door.

"I understand, that's definitely the enemy. Xiao Ai, go and eliminate him now!"

Seeing Xiao Ai storming out the door, Erina was startled and quickly chased after her. She dared not let Xiao Ai clash with her father.

"Xiao Ai, Xiao Ai!"

Erina tried to dissuade Xiao Ai, disregarding her fear of her father, and hurriedly ran out to stop Xiao Ai.

"Erina, don't stop me! I'm going to kill him!"

Xiao Ai raised her twin swords high, the glow of the 'Evil Holy Sword Death Victory Sword' shining brightly in the night.

If Erina hadn't stopped her, Xiao Ai would have already attacked.

"Xiao Ai?"

Just then, Miyamoto Musashi arrived. She was startled to see Xiao Ai holding a sword, ready to strike.

Musashi quickly darted forward, stood in front of Xiao Ai with a stern expression, and blocked her target.

"Xiao Ai! Stop fooling around!"

She dared not be careless at all; with Xiao Ai's strength, if she really wanted to kill someone, she might not be able to stop her.

Seeing Musashi suddenly appear and block her way, Xiao Ai tilted her head.

Are you going to try and steal the snacks from Xiao Ai too?

"Then you're Xiao Ai's enemy too!"

Upon hearing this, Miyamoto Musashi's forehead darkened, and she tensed up immediately. It was clear that Xiao Ai's current behavior indicated that she was about to cut Musashi down as well.

Where could she possibly reason with that? It wasn't that she was afraid of Xiao Ai; if they really went all out, Musashi was confident in her swordsmanship.

But is this the right time to fight?

If the two of them were to start fighting, Tōtsuki Academy could close down tomorrow.

"What's going on? Why are so many people gathered here?"

The noisy scene attracted a large number of people, Yuxian and his group arrived at that time as well.

Upon seeing the scene clearly, Yuxian immediately exclaimed in surprise.

"Xiao Ai!"

Chapter 21, Section 487: Whoever makes Xiao Ai unhappy, I'll make them even more unhappy.

"Xiao Ai!"

Yuxian's voice reached Xiao Ai's ears.

She turned her head and saw Yuxian. She immediately threw her two swords to the ground and collapsed onto Erina as if she had no bones.

"Xiao Ai... is hungry... needs some... sugar..."

Yuxian, who had just arrived, was unaware of the situation. He was anxious and rushed over, asking with concern, "Xiao Ai, are you alright?"

But Miyamoto Musashi, who was standing to the side, kept rolling her eyes. She had been right next to Xiao Ai and knew the situation very well.

Just a moment ago he looked like he was about to fight and kill, but nothing happened. As soon as Yuxian arrived, he put on a pitiful expression, as if he hadn't eaten for three days.

Musashi knew exactly what Xiao Ai was thinking, but it was none of her business. Musashi pursed his lips and walked away.

On the other side, Azami Nakiri completely ignored Xiao Ai's shouts and threats, treating them as mere childish play.

He continued speaking to Senzaemon Nakiri before him, "Totsuki is truly heartbreaking now, filled with mortals who are utterly hopeless."

Senzaemon Nakiri, "In this academy, cooking is everything. Anyone can climb up the ranks as long as they have the skills. This is Totsuki's tradition."

"Boring!"

Azami Nakiri looked disdainful. "To gather a large number of inferior students in order to create real gourmet food is utterly foolish."

Senzaemon Nakiri narrowed his eyes slightly. "This is not something you or I can decide. The future of Totsuki will be determined by those talented and capable young chefs."

"No matter how much you shout, you can't change anything."

Azami Nakiri pulled out a document and waved it in front of him. "That's not necessarily true."

"The Elite Ten Council is granted power equal to, or even greater than, that of the Academy's Supreme Commander."

"For example, what more than half of the Elite Ten members expect can represent the opinion of the entire academy."

Azami Nakiri displayed the document in his hand, the contents of which shocked everyone.

With a victor's smile, he said, "More than half of them agreed to the reforms."

"They all support me in becoming the new headmaster of the academy."

The document states that the Elite Ten Council decided to appoint Azami Nakiri as the new Commander-in-Chief.

It bears the signatures of six members of the Elite Ten:

Eishi Tsukasa (First Seat)

Rindou Kobayashi (Second Seat)

Momo Akanekubo (4th Seat)

Soma Saito (Fifth Seat)

Nene Kinokuni (Sixth Seat)

Etsuya Eizan (Eighth Seat)
