Hearing Chika's question, Makoto thought for a moment and said, "There's no special requirement, just don't go visiting shrines for no reason like some of your predecessors did."
Chika blinked in confusion, not quite understanding what Makoto meant by that.
"Then let's tear down all the shrines in the world, Chainsaw-sama!"
Beam said eagerly.
Yu's eyes widened.
'Damn it, I was just a bit too slow!'
"O-Okay, I'll tell the cabinet right away."
Chika quickly nodded and took out her phone.
Although she didn't understand why Makoto was so opposed to shrines, since all of Asia was under his rule now, of course whatever he said went.
Even if he wanted to blow up Mount Fuji, they would have to do it.
"Senpai, I think there's one more thing that needs to be addressed."
Yu said.
Ring ring ring—
Just as everyone turned their attention to Yu, the bell for class suddenly rang.
Shizuka, the teacher for Japanese language, walked in from the door and cleared her throat, saying, "Um... everyone, go back to your seats. Class is starting."
Seeing this classroom full of Reincarnation Game's players, Shizuka couldn't help but feel a bit intimidated.
'Damn, they all had superpowers now, what was the point of attending class?'
Yu raised his hand. "Hold on. I'll take five minutes of everyone's time."
Shizuka: "..."
'Hold on, is that something a student should say?'
'By the way, aren't you from the middle school division? What are you doing here?'
Yu continued, "Senpai, I don't think the ceasefire agreement signed with the United States is appropriate."
As soon as Yu said this, the expressions of everyone in the class changed.
Although with their current strength, modern weapons were hardly a threat in the real world, unless facing mutated creatures like the crab monster-
But the United States was still their 'daddy' in Japan. Hearing those two words still triggered a primal fear.
"Oh? What do you want to say?"
Yu explained, "Of course, I'm not saying there was anything wrong with Senpai's actions. But when they signed the agreement with Senpai, they didn't even kneel!"
As he spoke, Yu suddenly became agitated, shouting indignantly, "This is a sign of disrespect towards Senpai! We must strike back!"
Hearing Yu's words, even the players who were familiar with his fanatical devotion were stunned.
'Wow, even we couldn't come up with such a reason to pick a fight.'
Makoto smiled faintly. "And what do you suggest?"
Makoto had never been satisfied with the outcome of the last war, but due to lack of Chakra, he had to sign the agreement with the US.
Now that problem no longer existed, there was no need to adhere to this false agreement.
"Anni! Hilate! Them!"
Yu enunciated each syllable. "We must make an example of them. Let the world know the consequences of disrespecting Senpai."
Even though most people in the classroom had seen their fair share of the world, Yu's words still shocked them.
'You're a bit too extreme.'
Megumi and the others had thought Yu was just going to target the US leadership or military at most. Who knew he'd go this far!?
However, Makoto was very calm.
Feeling sorry for the Americans? What about the Native Americans?
"Alright then. I'll go after school."
Makoto nodded in agreement.
Shizuka on the podium was dumbfounded.
'Wow, they were talking about annihilating a country as casually as a club activity.'
'And the country they wanted to annihilate was the world's superpower.'
However, Yu, who always followed Makoto's lead, surprisingly tried to dissuade him at this point.
"No, please stay behind, Senpai. The insignificant United States is not worth your personal effort. I, Ishigami Yu, am willing to lead the charge!"
Hearing this, Makoto couldn't help but laugh. "You just want to test out your new powers, don't you?"
"Senpai, please don't joke."
Ishigami Yu quickly explained. "I simply wish to alleviate your burdens."
Makoto remained silent, giving him a look that said, "Don't make your Aniki laugh."
Yu blinked.
The atmosphere fell into silence.
The two stared at each other, the women's gazes shifting back and forth between them.
"Hmph~"
Makoto still had an expression that said, "Keep acting, kid", Yu maintained an innocent look, but as time passed, the corner of his mouth began to twitch like an AK being cocked, gradually becoming impossible to hold back.
Showing off.
The onlookers, including Chika, were also struggling to hold back their laughter.
Even though they didn't understand what these two were doing, they inexplicably wanted to laugh!
Finally, Yu spoke again:
"Senpai, I..."
"Alright, don't think you can hide your little schemes from me. But you just obtained the Gun Devil's power. Don't rush to fight the US. Train more first. No need to hurry."
"Yes!"
Yu quickly bowed.
His proposal to attack the US was indeed partly motivated by a desire to lead the charge for Makoto. But there was also a bit of wanting to show off.
After all, what guy doesn't like to show off?
Just like Sasuke, although many readers in his previous life joked about him having the [Show-off Release] Kekkei Genkai, to be honest, if you had his power, you'd probably show off even more than he did.
Seeing Yu finish, Shizuka finally spoke meekly: "Um... can we start class now?"
Seeing Makoto nod, Shizuka breathed a sigh of relief and picked up the chalk to write the lesson's content on the blackboard.
Damn, the expressions those two just had were too funny. She was afraid she wouldn't be able to hold back her laughter and get silenced.
It wasn't just Shizuka… Yotsuba, Chika, and the others felt the same way.
…
Finally, school was over.
Everyone packed their things to go home. Yu also called his parents to tell them that after school, he wouldn't be going straight home but would go to the Suzuki Manor to train with Makoto.
Yu's parents were quite frightened when they heard the news.
They had always paid little attention to their gloomy youngest son. They never expected him to suddenly hit the jackpot and latch onto Makoto.
"Yotsuba, do you want to come along?"
Makoto asked Yotsuba, who was also packing her things.
"Huh? I, I can too?"
Yotsuba pointed at herself, speaking incredulously.
"I heard from Yui that you kept up your exercise routine over there. Your physical abilities should have improved a lot too, right? It'd be a shame to let such a good foundation go to waste without training."
Yotsuba had always had the best athletic ability among the five sisters. And this morning, he had heard from Yui that during the thirteen years in the Chainsaw Man World, Yotsuba had consistently maintained her exercise habits.
When she gains some ability or a close-combat Devil Fruit in the next transmigration, she would probably take off immediately.
"Th, then I'll go tell Ichika and the others. Wait for me, Makoto!"
After saying that, Yotsuba skipped out of the classroom. With the ribbon on her head, she looked just like a little rabbit.
"Sensei-kun has a new target? Looking to add a new sister for us?"
Utaha teased again.
"I just think it's a shame to let such good athletic ability go to waste."
Makoto gave her black-stockinged thigh a firm pinch.
