"Azami Nakiri, I've heard of you. You were from Polar Star back in the day. Although Uncle Dojima and Jōichirō Yukihira were the brightest stars of the Golden Age, your name wasn't small either..."
"However, I didn't expect your Culinary skills came at the cost of your brain. I, for one, am ALLERGIC to idiots. So, do me a favor and don't call me again. I'm worried your stupidity might be contagious—"
After Yuuki slammed the phone on the other end, he directly hung up and blacklisted Azami Nakiri's number. He really was allergic to idiots and didn't want to say anything more to him.
....
On the other side, looking at the disconnected call, Azami's expression stiffened. He didn't understand why Yuuki would insult him.
Logically, even if Yuuki didn't agree with his plan, he shouldn't have said such harsh words, right? And he thought his plan was pretty good too; he had already fooled several Elite Ten members.
He contacted Yuuki this time because he got the news from those two First Class officers, plus he learned about Yuuki's status at Tōtsuki from Eishi Tsukasa. That's why he contacted Yuuki.
But he never expected to be dissed by Yuuki like this.
Of course there was also anger. After all, being insulted by someone—it would be strange not to be angry.
But when he wanted to call back and question him, he found his number had already been blacklisted.
This made Azami's face instantly turn as black as COAL.
"DAMN YOU! Just wait until I become Tōtsuki's Director, then I'LL deal with you slowly."
Azami Nakiri was also helpless. After all, Yuuki was a First Class officer; he simply had no way to retaliate against Yuuki. Acting rashly would only get him played to death by Yuuki.
So, he could only choose to target Yuuki after becoming Tōtsuki's Director.
At that time, although Yuuki would also be a First Class officer—that status wouldn't change—he would also be a student of Tōtsuki.
Even if Yuuki chose to just pack up and leave when faced with his targeting, at least he could annoy Yuuki, which would count as revenge. So now, he could only choose to bide his time and start with other Elite Ten members.
....
"Y-Yuuki-kun... that call just now..."
At this moment, Erina Nakiri's pupils dilated.
Although she hadn't heard the voice on the other end of the phone, Yuuki's insult had already revealed the other party's identity—it was her father, her greatest shadow, Azami Nakiri.
"That's right. It was your father, Azami Nakiri. That guy contacted me wanting me to help him stir up trouble, so I gave him a piece of my mind."
"Also, Erina, don't be scared by him. I've heard about your past. That guy doesn't DESERVE to be a father. And with what he's doing now, I think this father of yours is about to be finished." Yuuki shook his head.
"What do you mean by that?"
Yuuki's words directly pulled Erina out of her fear.
After all, Yuuki said Azami was about to be finished. This made Erina momentarily forget her fear.
"It's simple. His purpose in calling me just now was to ask me to help him persuade several Elite Ten members, to get more than half of the Elite Ten to replace the Director with him. You yourself are an Elite Ten member; you should be very clear about his purpose, right?"
Yuuki revealed the purpose of Azami's call.
As soon as these words were out, both Erina's and Hisako Arato's pupils constricted.
"According to the Elite Ten's authority, as long as more than half of the Elite Ten agree, then the Director can be replaced. And he is also a member of the Nakiri family. If he really succeeds, he indeed can take over Tōtsuki!"
"But why did Yuuki-sama say he's finished?" Hisako Arato's address for Yuuki had now also become honorific.
This was something she called him from the heart after spending this period with Yuuki.
One reason was that Yuuki's status and position indeed deserved such an address. Another reason was that Yuuki's Culinary skills had indeed conquered both of them, so Hisako now respected Yuuki very much.
Of course, the most crucial point was still because Yuuki's existence was causing Erina's mentality to continuously develop in a good direction.
This was what Hisako was most grateful to Yuuki for—
At this moment, Hisako asked this question to help her Young lady. Because hearing Azami intended to use the Elite Ten's authority to enter Tōtsuki, Erina's body had started to tremble.
"Although the Elite Ten have the authority to replace the Director, since this authority appeared until now, have you ever seen any cohort of students use this power?" Yuuki asked in return.
Hearing this, the two exchanged glances.
They understood Tōtsuki very well.
But thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be true. Since this authority appeared, the Director had never been replaced by the Elite Ten.
"This authority of the Elite Ten has more symbolic meaning than practical meaning. Tōtsuki gave this authority to highlight the importance of the Elite Ten."
"But anyone with a normal brain wouldn't want to use this power. Because whoever uses it basically sentences their own future to death."
As soon as Yuuki's words came out, the two were even more puzzled.
"Why does whoever uses it sentence their own future to death?" The two really couldn't understand.
Did this authority carry such a huge risk??
"The reason is simple. The person serving as Director will only be a member of the Nakiri family, and it has always been the head of the Nakiri family, the person with the most power in the Nakiri family."
"The Elite Ten can replace the Director, but why did Tōtsuki become such a famous school? Why do Tōtsuki students have such high value after graduation? This is all because the Nakiri family is supporting it from behind."
"It was the Nakiri family that founded Tōtsuki, that made Tōtsuki what it is. Tōtsuki, in the end, is just an affiliate of the Nakiri family."
"Tōtsuki's land, resources, and everything else were all procured by the Nakiri family. Once the Nakiri family's support is gone, then Tōtsuki will become a thing of the past overnight."
"By the same token, the Elite Ten's power is also granted by the Nakiri family. Their ability to rapidly grow relying on Tōtsuki's resources—this is all because the Nakiri family is willing to give it to them."
"Once they betray and replace the Director, then it means challenging you all. How would you deal with such traitors?"
After Yuuki said all this, the two finally understood. Indeed, because they had always been studying at Tōtsuki, they had overlooked this point.
Even if one was an Elite Ten member, once they challenge the Nakiri family, it would be difficult to move even an inch in Japan in the future—unless the other party could reach the heights of Gin Dojima, Jōichirō Yukihira, or even Yuuki, only then could they make a name for themselves.
"As for Azami Nakiri, the same principle applies. Even if he becomes Director, once the Nakiri family withdraws its resources, what will he use to maintain Tōtsuki's operations??"
"The reason I said I'm allergic to idiots just now is precisely this... And this guy—it's a wonder he's been in society for so long yet still can't understand such a simple truth." Yuuki shook his head.
Azami's behavior could be described as purely brain-dead.
"So that's how it is!" Erina Nakiri finally stopped trembling after hearing this.
Although still somewhat fearful, this fear had lessened considerably.
"You don't need to be afraid of him. Although he is indeed your father, ask yourself, what should a father be like? I've also heard about your past; he doesn't deserve to be a father."
"Next time you see him, he won't do anything to you. If he even dares to lay a hand on you, believe it or not, the next day he'll absolutely DISAPPEAR from the face of the earth." Yuuki said, somewhat amused.
Given Azami's series of actions, if not for Mana Nakiri and for the sake of breaking Erina's psychological shadow, Senzaemon Nakiri would probably have made Azami disappear long ago.
After all, the God's Tongue problem was already giving him a headache.
For Azami to come and add insult to injury at this time—did he really think Senzaemon was some kind of kind-hearted saint??
The Nakiri family being able to develop to this scale wasn't just by relying on these superficial things.
"Isn't that a bit too exaggerated?!" Hearing Yuuki's words, Hisako Arato also sucked in a sharp breath.
How did it turn into "disappear from the face of the earth" just like that?
"It's not exaggerated at all. You two still know too little about this world. In short, remember one thing: this guy isn't worthy of your fear."
"Remember, Erina, you have a HUGE backing. You are no longer that little girl of just a few years old. If he appears before you, even if you slap him, he won't do anything."
Yuuki looked down on Azami Nakiri—
—He had played a good hand so badly. Although Mana had left back then, if he hadn't messed around, his life could have been very good.
But this guy personally ruined his own future.
The reason he could still bounce around outside now was also because he still had the Nakiri surname. Otherwise, once he lost the Nakiri surname, it meant he was completely abandoned by the Nakiri family.
Other factions weren't blind.
The reason those factions that were friendly with him now were still friendly was also because they were taking a gamble...
As long as the surname was still there, there was a chance to return. Once he returned, the Nakiri family was secondary—the truly crucial point was Mana Nakiri.
Azami, as Mana's husband—although he married into the family and gave the impression of a pretty boy living off a woman—such a relationship was also very useful.
Once this relationship was gone, then these factions would instantly abandon Azami.
....
"Although I know Yuuki is saying this for my own good, I wouldn't go so far as to directly slap him..." Erina Nakiri was also left speechless by Yuuki at this moment.
After Yuuki said this, she thought about it carefully and realized it was true. Besides Azami being her father, which naturally created a sense of oppression, there really was nothing else about him that she needed to fear.
And now there was another point: both she and Mana were very disappointed with Azami's actions over the years. She had already determined that Azami and Mana couldn't get back together.
She was also very unhappy with this father's operations over the years. There was originally one more chance, but Azami now wanted to seize Tōtsuki's Director position.
Regardless of whether he succeeded or not, since he intended to do so, then that last chance no longer needed to be reserved for him.
At this moment, Erina's last bit of hope had also vanished—
—She knew very well that even if she was still ready to give Azami a chance, her grandfather and mother would not allow Azami to return.
And she was now also completely disappointed in Azami. Her fear of Azami stemmed from his identity as her father. But now, after being completely disappointed, she no longer considered him her father.
Without this layer of identity, there was nothing left about Azami for Erina to fear.
Her fear completely vanished—
—At this moment, Erina completely relaxed her mind.
Regarding cooking, she had already figured things out; this was Yuuki's contribution.
Now her mother had also returned to normal and reconciled with her; this was also Yuuki's contribution.
Her fear of her father had also completely disappeared; this was still Yuuki's contribution.
If Yuuki had a favorability system, then the system's notification sound should probably be appearing now, because Erina's favorability towards him was basically completely full.
"To be able to say such things proves you are no longer afraid. This is a good thing. This is your own family matter—I won't get involved."
After speaking, Yuuki left. As for Erina and Hisako, he knew very well that these two still had things to do.
"Let's go, Hisako. There are still other things to do next."
Watching Yuuki leave, Erina Nakiri spoke.
"O-Okay, Lady Erina. But what are we going to do now?" Hisako Arato asked with some confusion. She didn't know what they were going to do next.
"Go find my mother. Although it wouldn't be a big deal even if he succeeded in this matter, this farce will still affect the Nakiri family. We can't let that guy mess around."
"Also, Hisako, contact the school. After we go back, we'll move to Polar Star." Erina Nakiri said.
Hearing this, Hisako was taken aback for a moment, but she quickly understood her Young lady's thoughts.
Clearly, this was aimed at Yuuki...
Although from the information they had, Yuuki already had a childhood sweetheart, and Alice Nakiri was also pursuing Yuuki now—
—But she didn't think her Young lady would lose in this aspect. So, for her Young lady's happiness, she was also full of fighting spirit.
