Ai had completed her withdrawal procedures and left the school.
Meanwhile, in the outside world, Ryunosuke suddenly shuddered as if a cold chill had seeped into his body. Unconsciously, he glanced at Megumi, who was eating with an expressionless face.
Megumi simply tilted her head cutely, as if asking what was wrong. Ryunosuke assumed it was just his imagination and ignored it.
The two of them were having lunch in the hospital cafeteria.
Megumi had finally forgiven Ryunosuke, but would Ai forgive him? That was no longer her concern. She was quite cunning; she had already snitched to her Boss, Morishita Ai, who was currently on her way here.
Ryunosuke was deeply grateful for Megumi's understanding. With a "third wife" so full of compassion, what more could he ask for? He felt incredibly moved. Little did he know that Megumi had reported him; when the "First Wife" arrived later, only then would he start crying...
◆━⊰✿✧✿⊱━◆
It didn't take long for Ai to find Maruo's hospital, fueled by sheer rage. After all, she could easily use her family background to look up information through her connections. Unlike Ryunosuke and Megumi, who came from ordinary families and lacked connections—making even searching for someone feel like an uphill battle.
Ryunosuke froze when he saw her arrive. His first thought was: Ai is out, so where did his private points go? Up until this very second, he was still worrying about his points, completely oblivious to the gravity of the situation.
Just as Ryunosuke was about to offer a warm embrace, Ai's foot—clad in black stockings and a small leather shoe—immediately stomped on his foot and pressed down hard. It was clearly intentional. Ryunosuke felt awkward.
"What are you doing?"
Ai glared sharply at him. "Your business with me can wait until later! Now, take me to see those two thieving cats!"
Ryunosuke shrank back. "So you already know..."
"So what if I do? Take me there, now!" Ai commanded.
Ryunosuke didn't dare disobey. He obediently led his First Wife to meet his two new girlfriends.
Before long, the two parties met. Ryunosuke turned to flee, but his back collar was grabbed by Ai, preventing his escape.
Ryunosuke prepared himself for the judgment of fate, but unexpectedly, the three women actually appeared very harmonious.
Ai started by asserting her position. With her hands on her hips, she raised her smooth white hand and pointed a thumb at Ryunosuke behind her, declaring that she was the First Wife. If they wanted to be with him, they had to be willing to be the juniors.
This was the greatest concession she could grant. Chizuru didn't mind, as Ryunosuke had already been honest about having fourteen girlfriends previously. Chizuru accepted it and still chose to be with him. Meanwhile, Yuuki felt that she was a burden; added to the fact that she suffered from a serious illness and didn't know how much longer she could hold on, she didn't mind either.
The three of them reached an agreement and became close sisters. Ai then assigned them their rank numbers. She pointed at Chizuru and gave her the fifteenth position, then pointed at Yuuki and gave her the sixteenth. This was the order of seniority, proving that there were fourteen other girls with higher status, so they wouldn't try anything funny.
The two of them nodded in understanding. Thus, a miraculous sight occurred: the three women chatted cheerfully like biological sisters and kicked Ryunosuke, whom they deemed a nuisance, out of the patient room.
The corner of Ryunosuke's lip twitched. He truly did not understand the logic of female friendships. He let out a long sigh, preparing to write his novels to earn extra money to cover Yuuki's medical expenses as soon as possible.
Just as Ryunosuke was about to leave, Ai stepped out of the room and closed the door.
Ryunosuke was surprised. "You finished chatting that quickly?"
Ai rolled her eyes and said in an annoyed tone, "What else is there to talk about? Should I have asked whether you've slept with them yet or not?"
Ryunosuke hurriedly waved his hands to explain. "I haven't done anything to them, not even a kiss. I keep very strict boundaries. Without your permission, I wouldn't act recklessly."
Ai crossed her arms; she was quite satisfied with that point. If he hadn't, she surely would have broken off her relationship with Ryunosuke instead of sitting down to chat calmly with those two women. She turned her face away and said with a slightly displeased tone:
"Tell me earlier next time. I'm not an unreasonable person. If you truly like another girl, it's not as if I can't grant a concession..." Her voice grew smaller, yet it remained clearly audible to Ryunosuke. "The only thing I hate is you being dishonest with me and hiding things..."
Ryunosuke hugged Ai tightly while repeatedly apologizing, promising never to hide anything again. Only then did the girl's mood improve and she no longer held a grudge.

On the other hand, Yujiro was currently at Old Man Tokugawa's office. He leaned his body back on the sofa with his feet up on the tea table, looking extremely arrogant. However, there was a clear slash wound on his cheek.
It was true—Yujiro was wounded. He had been hurt by members of the Shinsengumi. Those former samurai turned out to have quite capable skills. There were even two people who were able to penetrate his defenses.
One was the Vice Commander of the Shinsengumi, Toshiro. The other was the First Division Captain, Sogo. The scar on his face was the result of their handiwork.
If this were only the world of Baki, Yujiro would certainly be invincible. Unfortunately, this was a crossover world, so he wasn't necessarily the strongest. Many people could break through his defenses—Gintoki, for example. If those two fought, it wasn't certain who would win.
As the strongest creature on earth, the toughness of his skin was equivalent to steel; ordinary bullets could only give him minor abrasions. However, even he remained wary of armor-piercing rounds from a Barrett. After all, that type of bullet could punch through steel plates. That was the reason why, when facing Ryunosuke, he used a car to deflect the bullets; he was afraid of those armor-piercing alloy rounds.
Old Man Tokugawa, standing beside him, also looked shocked. Yujiro could actually be wounded by someone else; even if it was just a small scratch on the cheek, it was enough to cause a global sensation.
Tokugawa trembled with overwhelming excitement. The cane he held even fell to the floor from his overflowing joy. Lest Yujiro become suspicious, he hurriedly picked up his cane and apologized, using the excuse that he was so old his grip was no longer strong.
Yujiro showed an impatient expression of disgust. "You already smell of the earth; when are you going to die?"
Facing Yujiro's harsh words, Tokugawa seemed used to it and did not take it to heart.
