"Hmph, interesting. I really don't know what's so terrifying about that guy whom the family head regards as a human god?"
In a secluded estate on the outskirts of Tokyo, a black-haired young man was looking at the relevant information about Nakano Yuu and spoke with a smile.
The young man's name was Obami Rin. Perhaps the name Oba alone was not particularly well known in Neon, but that was because the Obami family was merely a branch family, while its main family bore the name—Momobami!
Momobami, a family that stood just behind the four major financial groups in Neon, did not reach such a position because the individual abilities of its members were overwhelmingly strong, but because of the Momobami clan, which was formed from its numerous branch families!
The farce that had taken place today at Shuchiin Academy was precisely Obami Rin's handiwork.
The Obami family, to which he belonged, specialized in fraud and was made up of professional swindlers. The reason he had planned this farce aimed at Nakano Yuu was because he had obtained a piece of information.
Information that the Shinomiya family was on the verge of bankruptcy!
Obami Rin did not care how this news had reached him. What mattered to him was only that the current head of the Shinomiya family, Shinomiya Gan'an, did not have much time left to live, and that the three Shinomiya sons had already begun fighting among themselves.
In such a situation, Obami Rin felt that this was a good opportunity for him—an opportunity… to replace the Momobami family as the main family of the Momobami clan!
After confirming that Shinomiya Gan'an was indeed ill, he began planning this performance. Now, all that remained for him was to wait for the situation to continue developing.
As long as this matter angered that human god, according to the information he had, that person was nothing more than a mindless brute, a brainless fool, and would certainly vent his anger on Shinomiya Oko. At that time, he would seize the opportunity to annex the Shinomiya family's assets!
As he thought about this, the polite smile on Obami Rin's face gradually turned into a wild laugh.
Just as Obami Rin was carried away by excitement, the door to the room was suddenly blown open:
"Bang!"
As the door flew open, Obami Rin turned his head and saw a blue-haired girl in a kimono standing at the entrance.
"Who are you?!"
Seeing the girl, Obami Rin frowned deeply and asked.
"Someone is calling for you, Shinomiya-sensei."
Looking at Obami Rin, Tsurara's expression was indifferent. After saying that, she raised her hand, cold air spread out, and transparent ice spikes appeared and shot forward violently, instantly piercing Obami Rin's legs.
"Ah!!! My legs!!!"
The intense pain prevented Obami Rin from even thinking about where this sudden intruder had come from. He could only let out screams like a pig being slaughtered.
Seeing this, Tsurara did not waste words. She waved her hand, and a huge blue figure appeared behind her. It was none other than Aotabo of the Nura clan.
This time, Tsurara had encountered Aotabo on the way to the Obami family, so she brought this big guy along with her. He was not particularly pleasant to look at perfect for intimidating people.
Aotabo did not speak. He stepped forward, grabbed Obami Rin's legs, and squeezed hard, crushing both legs into one. Blood, flesh, and bone fragments mixed together, causing Obami Rin unbearable pain, nearly making him faint several times.
But how could Tsurara allow him to simply pass out? A wave of cold air continuously kept him conscious.
"Take him away."
After confirming that Obami Rin would not die for the time being, Tsurara finished speaking and left together with Aotabo and Obami Rin.
Soon, two demons and one human arrived at the Momobami family residence.
However, at that moment, in the main hall of the Momobami family, an entire row of people was kneeling.
If one looked closely, they were representatives of all the families within the Momobami clan, and even the current head of the Momobami clan, Momobami Kirari, was among them.
A young man sat before all of them, high upon a throne, legs crossed, looking down at the group of people below him.
Beside the young man sat Shinomiya Kaguya, elegantly sipping tea, although her seat was far inferior compared to the specially crafted throne that the Momobami family had made for Nakano Yuu.
"Lord Nakano~"
Below, Momobami Kirari looked at Nakano Yuu, who was gazing down at them from above, her blue eyes shining with infatuation.
As the head of the Momobami clan, Momobami Kirari worshiped strength and those who could set rules. Among all the powerful individuals she knew, Nakano Yuu was the most qualified and supreme existence capable of binding all people with rules!
The throne on which Nakano Yuu sat had been personally commissioned by her. She had planned to take the opportunity to start a conversation with Nakano Yuu the next time she saw him, but she had not expected Nakano Yuu to send someone to bring her here today.
However… Momobami Kirari was not foolish. She could clearly sense that Nakano Yuu was in a bad mood, and moreover, the representatives of the other branches of the Momobami clan had also been brought here. Someone must have caused trouble.
"Gulp…"
But for Momobami Kirari, such a situation was both a crisis and an opportunity. If she could use this chance as a springboard and climb onto the throne beside that young man, she would be willing even for the Momobami clan to completely disappear!
And Nakano Yuu, sitting on the throne, looked at the people below him, lightly tapping his finger against the armrest.
"Aren't Tsurara and the others here yet with that guy?"
Nakano Yuu thought to himself. Back during class, Nakano Yuu had received a message from Shinomiya Kaguya. Hayasaka Ai had already investigated the identity of the person behind everything: Obami Rin of the Obami family, a branch of the Momobami clan!
That Obami Rin was truly stupid; he did not even bother to turn off his phone, honestly believing that he had the head of the Newspaper Club completely under his control.
But… wasn't that silver-haired crazy woman down there Momobami Kirari? Why was she looking at him like that?
Sensing Momobami Kirari's gaze, Nakano Yuu frowned slightly. He did not remember ever having any interaction with this person.
Then why was Momobami Kirari looking at him so… intensely?
And… why was Shinomiya Kaguya also looking at him?
Shifting his gaze slightly, Nakano Yuu's eyes fell on Kaguya beside him. Seeing Nakano Yuu looking at her, Shinomiya Kaguya quickly averted her gaze and continued pretending to drink tea.
Seeing this, Nakano Yuu did not pay it much attention. However, the moment the young man looked away, Shinomiya Kaguya looked at Nakano Yuu again.
For some reason, Shinomiya Kaguya felt that Nakano Yuu was incredibly handsome at this moment. That indifference toward everything, that lofty coldness that surpassed all else, made her heart inexplicably stir.
"Boom!"
Just as everyone in the hall had their own thoughts, a dull boom rang out, the roof of the villa was smashed open, and a huge figure landed heavily, raising a cloud of dust.
"Plop!"
A figure was flung out of the dust, falling heavily to the ground.
"Lord Nakano, the person has been brought."
Bowing to Nakano Yuu, Tsurara said respectfully.
"Mm, you two can return first."
Nakano Yuu waved his hand, signaling Tsurara and Aotabo to leave.
"Yes!"
The two yokai responded and turned to depart.
In the main hall, the expressions of the Momobami clan members changed as they watched Aotabo and Tsurara disappear.
Shinomiya Kaguya also looked at Aotabo and Tsurara, her gaze flickering.
Those two… looked exactly like Aotabo and the Snow Woman from the monster books she had read in her childhood.
Struggling to get up, Obami Rin looked at the kneeling members of the Momobami clan in the hall, as well as Nakano Yuu on the throne, and his expression changed.
It's over—the human god has discovered the truth!
Swallowing hard, Obami Rin clenched his fists and wanted to return to the ranks of the Momobami clan, but his legs had been frozen into ice sculptures by Tsurara. Relying only on his arms, Obami Rin could only slowly crawl across the ground.
Seeing Obami Rin's miserable state, the other members of the Momobami clan, except for Momobami Kirari, swallowed hard, fear and confusion mixing in their eyes.
They were afraid that they too might be tortured for no reason, and they were confused as to why, although everyone had been summoned here, only Obami Rin had been dragged in by that monster.
The people of the Momobami clan were not foolish. With a bit of thought, they understood that the cause of everything was Obami Rin!
This idiot must have done something to provoke Nakano Yuu, which was why all the representatives of the Momobami clan had been forced to kneel here!
"Did I tell you to come back?"
Seeing Obami Rin, a cold light flashed in Nakano Yuu's eyes. As his words fell, pressure descended upon Obami Rin, and in the same instant, a terrifying force pressed him heavily to the ground.
He did not dare to exert any strength in his arms, his body trembling like a sieve.
"Explain yourself."
Nakano Yuu had no intention of saying much and directly ordered Obami Rin to explain.
Hearing this, Obami Rin clenched his teeth, but still chose to confess honestly. He was not the type to deny everything, and moreover, stubborn denial in front of an existence like Nakano Yuu would only lead to an even worse death!
"Lord Nakano, I—"
Just as Obami Rin strained to open his mouth to apologize to the young man, in the very next moment his voice stopped. The person who had been alive a second ago instantly turned into a pillar of salt, completely lifeless.
Seeing this scene, the expressions of everyone present changed. They had not expected Nakano Yuu to be so direct, not even giving Obami Rin a chance to explain himself. At the same time, fear of Nakano Yuu began to spread throughout the hall.
Seeing how decisive and ruthless Nakano Yuu was, Momobami Kirari's eyes lit up, and she licked her lips with the tip of her tongue, secretly casting a glance toward Nakano Yuu on the platform, only to find that Nakano Yuu was also looking at her at that moment.
Their gazes met. Momobami Kirari jolted and quickly lowered her head, but a blush spread across her cheeks.
"Ah~~ Lord Nakano, Lord Nakano is looking at me!"
Momobami Kirari thought, her heart beginning to stir.
After killing Obami Rin, Nakano Yuu felt only boredom. He hated talking with such self-important ants.
"Momobami, explain."
Seeing Momobami Kirari still secretly glancing at him, the young man became interested in her and asked.
Hearing this, Momobami Kirari's body trembled, but she quickly reacted, bowing to the young man and expressing her submission in an excited tone:
"Lord Nakano, Momobami has been negligent in discipline and allowed a fool from the Obami family to offend you. As the head of the Momobami clan, I am willing to offer you all of the Momobami family's assets, and moreover, from today onward, all members of the Momobami clan will become Lord Nakano's livestock."
"Including me!"
Listening to Momobami Kirari's words, Nakano Yuu felt only strangeness. He always had the feeling that this person did not look like she was being punished, but rather… rewarded?
However, Nakano Yuu had no intention of dealing with that, so he shifted his gaze to the other members of the Momobami clan.
Seeing this, the representative of the Mushibami family, the gothic-lolita Mushibami Erimi, was the first to react, bowing to the young man:
"The Mushibami family is willing to offer all of its assets, and moreover, I am willing to become Lord Nakano's livestock, as long as… Lord Nakano does not mind!"
"The Totobami family is willing to offer its assets, and while serving as Lord Nakano's livestock… the Totobami family can issue assassination orders against all members of the Obami family and will strive… to completely exterminate them!"
The representative of the Totobami family, a short-haired girl in a wheelchair, also said this, her sharp gaze falling on Momobami Kirari.
Now that Momobami Kirari had already climbed up beside Nakano Yuu, it would probably not be easy to replace her as the head of the family.
With the three of them setting the example, the other members of the Momobami clan also expressed their willingness to become Nakano Yuu's livestock, while at the same time expressing their readiness to use their families' power to hunt down all members of the Obami family.
Nakano Yuu was somewhat satisfied with this. Originally, he had planned to directly exterminate the Momobami clan, but… who could refuse beautiful girls as livestock?
Although Nakano Yuu was not someone who thought with his lower body, the figure and appearance of Momobami Kirari really suited his tastes.
"Then it's decided. Within three days, kill all members of the Obami family, and the Momobami clan may continue to exist."
Standing up from the throne, the young man's voice was cold. After saying this, he left together with the already stunned Shinomiya Kaguya.
Today's gains were not bad. Hm, a beautiful girl turned into livestock… Hiss~ Nakano Yuu felt that he was starting to resemble a pervert. Was this really the fault of that wretched system?!
