"You guys... never mind, come on, have a drink. I made a big pot of this specifically for you."
Itsuka Shido shook his head and said helplessly.
"Oh, no wonder he was ranked 52nd on the 'Most Suitable Boyfriend' list. He's so considerate and has excellent housekeeping skills. It's a pity he's juggling two, no, three relationships now, otherwise he wouldn't have fallen off the list."
Hiroto Tonomachi waved his phone, looking like he had a deep grudge.
"You guys... come and drink up, it's getting cold."
Itsuka Shido spoke in a tone like an old woman.

The Ultimate Showdown 2: Kurumi Tokisaki's Turn
"What are we going to do this time, Kurumi?"
"Let's make something simple this time, how about rice balls?"
"Hey, is that okay? It's hard to bring out the flavor of rice balls."
"You must be tired after doing so much. That's why I chose this. And don't underestimate me, I can still make rice balls. You can help me this time."
Kurumi Tokisaki looked at Shido Itsuka and smiled confidently.
At the same time, she glanced at Tohka Yatogami and Origami Tobiichi without leaving a trace.
The position of the empress will definitely be mine!
The process of making rice balls went very smoothly, and could even be described as pleasing to the eye.
The boys had already started vying for the chance to eat rice balls.
These rice balls were made by a beautiful girl; if you don't eat them now, you might never have the chance to eat them again.
In the end, the boys were still subdued by the girls.
Aside from the common saying, no boy has ever eaten a rice ball made by Kurumi Tokisaki herself.
After all, they are rivals, so it's still necessary to taste each other's dishes.
After everyone finished eating Kurumi Tokisaki's rice ball, they all fell into deep thought.
All are delicious.
It feels like there's no way to determine a winner.
But isn't that great?
Because now there's another reason to make them do it again.
The group exchanged smiles and nodded in perfect unison. Just as they were about to speak, Chang Yan interrupted them.
"I admit defeat this time. A rice ball that tastes almost as good as my miso soup, so I've clearly lost. Shido is in your hands now, good luck! I need to go home and be with my fiancée."
After leaving those words, Chang Yan waved and walked out gracefully as the bell rang to signal the end of get out of class.
"Go to hell!"
The curse of being single echoes throughout this land.
--------------
As Chang Yan had just stepped out of the school gate, he received a phone call.
"Hey, who are you?"
"Hello, is this Mr. Changyan? My name is Omi Asahi. Are you available now, Mr. Changyan?"
(Omi Asahi? Why did he call me?)
Although somewhat puzzled, Chang Yan still took over the conversation.
"I just got out of school. Is there anything I can help you with?"
"Um, if possible, please go home as soon as possible. I'll come over later to explain the reason in detail. Also, please let that white-haired girl stay in your home as well."
"What do you mean? Did she cause trouble?"
“That’s not what I meant, Mr. Changyan. I just wanted to explain something to you, just like last time, that concerns ‘you’ people.”
Omi Asahi emphasized the word "you" in his speech.
"Okay, I'll be home in about 5 minutes. You guys go ahead."
"Thank you for your cooperation."
The phone hangs up.
"What are those people in the government trying to do? I don't understand."
The boy returns home—
at home
"Well then, Mr. Omi, is there anything I can help you with?"
Taking the tea brewed by Kiyohime, Changyan took a sip and said calmly.
"This matter is rather complicated. Mr. Changyan, you know that there are many creatures in this world that have been threatening the survival of mankind, right? There are ghouls that specialize in eating people, werewolves that go berserk from time to time, vampires that specialize in creating 'blood baths,' demons and monsters that suck human life essence, lost demons that specialize in abducting human souls, and even cultists who worship evil gods."
"Of course, not all of them. There are vampires who honestly go to buy blood packs, monsters who yearn for peace, ghosts who stay by the side of their loved ones, and demons who honestly discipline their followers. We are very tolerant of these law-abiding fellows."
After taking a sip of tea to catch his breath, Omi Asahi spoke slowly again.
"In fact, the bigwigs at the United Nations have long wanted to eliminate these lawless criminals. But for some reason, it's been delayed until now. Now, those bigwigs have decided to launch a purge. And their demands are—"
"We need to get all those with supernatural abilities to unite and wipe them out. Ah, this tea is quite good, could I have another cup?"
The originally solemn and tense atmosphere was completely destroyed.
"Ok, no problem."
Kiyohime smiled and picked up the cup, brewing him another pot of tea.
Musashi and Iwasa both looked at Omi Asahi with strange expressions, as if they were seeing him for the first time.
Is this tea really that good? I can't taste the difference.
You're so silly, he was just trying to ease the tension.
The two exchanged glances and decided to remain silent and watch quietly.
"Mr. Omi, I'd like to ask why we all have to come together? There shouldn't be so many people."
"It was decided by the higher-ups; I don't know anything about it."
Chang Yan's face clearly said, "I don't believe it."
Omi Asahi shrugged, indicating that he really didn't know.
(So shameless)
As the saying goes, when he thought of this, he could only sigh.
"Alright, what's the timing? The meeting point? The specific plan?"
"I have all these things prepared, they are on this piece of paper. Please be on time, Mr. Changyan. By the way, if you have any questions, just call me. My number is on my business card. Well then, I'll take my leave."
Goodbye, don't bother seeing me out.
----------
I'm so tired and lazy, I don't want to type.
However, I still managed to type it out.
This is probably what they mean by saying one thing but meaning another, sigh.
Heart tired
Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Conference Room
(It's Monday again before I knew it, dead fish eyes)
(My laziness has been getting worse lately, how can I cure it?)
(But seriously, could you guys give me a few more complaints?)
------------
Cho Yan picked up the note that Omi Asahi had placed on the table, glanced at it, and almost spat out his tea.
"Holy crap, a meeting at 5 PM? Kiyohime, what time is it now?"
"It's already 4:30, Master Changyan."
"Tsk, that guy Omi Asahi... Let's go, it's not too far."
"Yes, sir."
Although somewhat annoyed, Chang Yan still obediently prepared to leave.
Kiyohime changed into casual clothes and stood at the door.
Just as Chang Yan opened the door, she suddenly took his arm.
Seeing Kiyohime's smiling face, Changyan smiled as well.
Then, the two of them reached out and opened the door together.
There was a car outside the door.
Meanwhile, Omi Asahi stood in front of the car with a smile on his face and waved to them.
(.???)ノ゛Hi
Surprised, not surprised, not surprised.
I'm back.
"Ah, it's me again, Mr. Changyan. You must be on your way to a meeting. Perfect timing, we just finished our work. Would you like a ride?"
"...Is there enough room in this car?"
"Of course, please rest assured, this is a government-appointed vehicle after all, so it has definitely been modified inside."
---------------
"This is our destination, Mr. Changyan."
"The government office building, huh? How many people will be attending this meeting?"
"You'll see when the time comes. Now, let me show you the way."
"Then trouble you."
Chang Yan nodded and followed behind Omi Asahi.
After many twists and turns, Chang Yan finally arrived at the door of the conference room.
Behind the door, a variety of noises could be heard, indicating that there were many people.
"Go straight in?"
"Yes."
"Then let's go in, Kiyohime."
As he spoke, Chang Yan opened the door directly.
A group of windows directly opposite the conference room door
The sunlight shone directly on Chang Yan.
Meanwhile, in the conference room, Legre was in a daze.
He seemed to see boundless darkness surging in from outside the door.
In the heart of that suffocating darkness, a human-shaped shadow stood.
The humanoid shadow seemed to have sensed his gaze.
He turned his head
