Watching Asuna disappear around the corner to attend to her biological needs, Hiro immediately turned to Eto Yoshimura.
"Eto, give me a piece of paper and a pen."
Tear~~
"I really didn't expect Mikan's sis-con nature to prevent her from telling Asuna-san that I'm a ghoul. Slightly... surprising."
Casually tearing a piece of white paper from a nearby notebook and handing it to him along with a pen, Eto Yoshimura smiled knowingly.
"Although I haven't met Yuuki Mikan in person, most of my impression of her comes from Asuna. But honestly, it would be strange if Mikan told Asuna about this."
The black pen scratched rapidly across the irregular white sheet.
Hiro didn't even lift his head as he replied,
"Oh~ Judging by your tone, you seem to understand Mikan pretty well?"
Eto Yoshimura narrowed her eyes slightly, curiosity evident.
"Is it the same reason as when you recognized me at first glance?"
"Hmm... you can understand it that way."
Some time passed, the sound of the pen tip scratching the paper filling the silence.
Eto Yoshimura studied the writing, her expression gradually shifting.
A threatening letter? I thought he wanted paper for something else...
He's going to threaten Yuuki Shouzou-the father of the Mikan sisters?
Threatening your girlfriend's father... what kind of operation is this?
I've gone to a human school my whole life; how have I never heard of this?
Hiro, focused on his writing, didn't notice the change in the girl opposite him.
"Hey, Na-na-mi-ya-kun..."
"Just call me Hiro."
"Hiro-kun... such a friendly way of addressing... you already have a beautiful girlfriend like Asuna-san, and you're still planning to make a move on a JC like me?"
His hand paused. He looked at the green-haired girl-one part fear, seven parts mischief, two parts amusement-and felt speechless.
"Honestly, compared to you, I'd rather make a move on Mikan."
"..." Eto Yoshimura's expression stiffened slightly. She looked helpless.
"Getting back to the main topic... Hiro-kun, what do you think of ghouls, a race that cannot survive without eating humans? Don't you find us disgusting, and wish we all vanished?"
"Ghouls? Just a special human race with special powers and physiological needs. Like how, centuries ago, many rulers in Western countries didn't regard black people as human. Today's ghouls are in a similar situation."
Hiro paused briefly, then continued.
"As for the physiological need to eat humans, as long as you have money, you can easily get food without killing anyone. Even without money, an adult male arm could feed several ghouls for a month (anime setting). Besides... do you think it's difficult to cultivate human flesh tissue with current tech, even if we can't produce RC cell food? It's just that no one is willing to."
He glanced at Eto Yoshimura, who appeared thoughtful, his voice calm and steady.
"Compared to races that feed on all living things, can't communicate, interact, invade without restraint, or treat humans as non-living... ghouls, who have hope of coexisting with humans, are already a very friendly race."
"..."
The 14-year-old girl's eyes showed a flicker of confusion. Such a race exists? Why haven't I heard of it?
If Hiro had been joking, she would have already mocked him. But his expression betrayed no humor.
"Eto, humans, ghouls, devils, vampires, angels, fallen angels, gods, Buddhas, monsters... the races of this world are far more numerous than just these."
Noticing her confusion, Hiro continued calmly, never pausing his hand movements.
"Really? Such a race exists?"
After a pause, Eto Yoshimura asked softly, unable to suppress her curiosity.
"I only found out because I accidentally controlled one of those creatures. If you want, find a spacious place, and I can show you."
Click-
The sound of a nearby door lock turning made them both stop.
Then-
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for seizing fourth-Tier luck and obtaining the reward: Conqueror Haki."
Conqueror Haki... even top-Tier can only instantly kill weaklings. Whether it works on high-class or ultimate-class devils is uncertain. Against Maou or transcendents, it won't even breach defenses.
Hiro cursed his luck inwardly.
Standing at the Yuuki family villa gate, Hiro handed a small white note from his pocket to Asuna.
"Asuna, please give this note to Uncle Yuuki."
"What's this?" Asuna held the tiny piece of paper, confusion evident.
"Since Uncle asked you to bring me along for the blind date, he should understand what I mean."
Hiro smiled but didn't elaborate.
"You can read it if you want, but no matter what you guess, you must give it to Uncle. I think after he reads it, he won't interfere with your freedom in marriage."
"Oh~~"
Asuna nodded, understanding.
Minutes later, Yuuki Shouzou sat alone at his desk, scrutinizing the note under the incandescent light:
Respected Uncle Shouzou, I am Hiro Nanamiya, Asuna's classmate.
You should have heard of me.
I write to suggest that you not interfere too much in Asuna and Mikan's lives, especially regarding marriage and love.
If you refuse, please allow me to use my own means to secure the Yuuki sisters' emotional freedom.
My efforts will not cause mental or physical harm to anyone. Please rest assured.
Finally, please allow me to say one sentence: Your judgment is much better than your wife's.
"It seems, as expected, this Hiro is connected to those forces."
Folding the note carefully and locking it in a drawer, Yuuki Shouzou muttered to himself.
"Sending Asuna there was indeed correct. I can't let Kyouko continue as she is. I can only apologize to Sugou Nobuyuki."
Ding-a-ling~~~
The phone on his right rang suddenly.
Yuuki Shouzou's relaxed expression vanished instantly as he picked it up.
"Hello."
"Not good, Madam Kyouko... she..."
