____Narration____

"And that's her story."

In the break room, Yuji finished telling the circumstances that had led Hiyama to accompany him to the other girls. He withheld some details, such as the fact that the woman was getting information for Akoya to carry out her crimes, because it could cause hostility from the girls.

But that was more as a precaution, since he would be busy enough not to be able to handle such a drama. He trusted them enough to believe that they would accept his decision to defend Hiyama, but accepting his decision didn't mean that they would treat the woman as well, so he preferred to leave some details hidden.

"Wait, you killed him?" Senju asked fearfully, Elena at his side looking at Yuji with a worried expression.

Yuji did not answer immediately, a sigh escaping his lips as he turned to leave the room.

"Excuse me, I have some business to attend to, please take care of Miss Hiyama." Without waiting for an answer, he left, leaving the girls staring at the door with worried looks... Except for Karura, who seemed unperturbed by the idea that Yuji had murdered someone.

"..."

"He had no choice." Suddenly, Hiyama caught their attention when he spoke. "If Yuji hadn't stopped Akoya, he would have killed me and then started a massacre until someone took his life."

The woman rubbed her arm, clearly uncomfortable with the situation. Senju, who had processed what the woman had said for a moment, sighed as he sat up and looked at the screen in the room.

Kou, who suddenly stood up, walked towards Hiyama who was still uncomfortable with the silent atmosphere among the girls.

"Uh?" The woman's attention suddenly turned to the little girl, who stopped in front of her and began to stare at her. "Do you need anything?"

"..."

Kou didn't answer, just reaching out and grabbing the woman's hand, the sudden movement surprising Hiyama.

"Kou understands. Yuji also killed to protect Kou."

Senju and Elena immediately reacted to hearing the little girl, both clearly shocked, this because they didn't know what Kou had just talked about. Elena was the most affected, after all, it had been over a year since she and Kou were a family, and yet, she didn't know this story.

"Kou will stay with you. Kou believes in Yuji's decision."

Hiyama was silent for several seconds, a small grateful smile appearing on her lips as she nodded in agreement.

"So you're our new sister!" Karura suddenly said excitedly, Hiyama looking at her with a confused expression, while Senju pinched her nose and Elena smiled uncomfortably.

.

Kenzo Yamashita, the eldest son of Kazuo Yamashita, and also the real owner of the successful company, Under Mount Inc. Such a person would never think that his plans could go wrong, believing that everyone around him was just pawns on his board.

But the real world was not as simple as standing in front of a computer. There were people who would be able to rival his intellect, and who realizing they are being manipulated, would immediately seek revenge.

Such was the case with the Kure clan. Manipulated by a man who avoided the sun like a vampire? They would never let something like this go unpunished.

But Erioh was not someone who was unfair. It was easy to discover the identity of the real person responsible for trying to manipulate them, and seeing that he was none other than the son of the one they would be facing in the next match, he decided to give the boy a chance.

So he and Kazuo Yamashita would play a game, where the winner, would win the prize...

The life of your son.

Merciful, no?

"Kuhaha! So that's the deal! Well, it matters little to me, if I could kill, then I'm cool with it." Raian, who had followed Erioh with the intention of putting some psychological pressure on Yamashita, began to speak with a mocking tone. "But if you ask me, I'd say everybody wins."

"Even if you lose, you'll get your "junk" thrown away for you. Not a bad deal, eh?"

"W-Waste?" Yamashita Kazuo was a fearful man, someone who was frightened by his own shadow, so it was normal that when faced with two monsters that exploded killing intent, he was terrified. "Take that back."

But as frightened as he was, hearing his son, his family, being casually called trash, made him muster what little courage was left in his body to counter Raian's words. These were his father instincts speaking, demanding that after so long, they be allowed to speak out.

"My son Kenzo is not trash! Take that back!"

"....?"

It was a pity that his paternal instincts manifested themselves to defend his son precisely from someone like Raian.

"Who are you trying to fool with this little show of fatherly love? You haven't done anything for him in ten years."

This was like a shock of reality to Yamashita, his eyes widening in dread as a laugh escaped Raian's throat.

"Be honest, I know what you're thinking, 'What a piece of shit if he just died right away'."

"No!!!" Kazuo tried to deny it, but it did little good when Kure just ignored him.

"'That worthless fuck ruined my life.', 'I raised him for his failure.', 'What did I do to deserve a piece of trash like him?', 'I wanted him to kill himself!'"

Yamashita felt as if these words hit his brain directly, his hands clenching his ears as he struggled to try to ignore Kure's words.

"No!"

Ohma, who was standing behind Yamashita, felt increasingly irritated at the sight of this. As much as he and Kazuo had not known each other for that long, he had learned to like the man, since he was always supporting him, and had never done anything with intent to harm him. He would not let this continue.

"!"

But before he could interrupt Raian, his eyes widened in surprise when a powerful pressure suddenly hit him. The pressure was strong enough to overcome even Raian, who made a point of not hiding his aura, which made clear the strength of the person responsible for it.

Raian and Erioh also immediately noticed the strong pressure, both turning around to see a familiar face staring at them with intensity.

"Hey, piece of shit."

Raian raised his eyebrow at that.

"I don't care what the fuck you do, but it's my family you're talking to."

Raian smiled from end to end, his own aura exploding uncontrollably and causing the pressure of the two to collide as if two demons were fighting for territory.

"Then I would control the tongue, before I rip it out."

Kazuo looked at the two of them with tears in his eyes, his jaw tightening as he could only watch his nephew stand in front of Raian.

"Let me think... How about I do whatever the fuck I want?"

"Your tomb."
