After Shinomiya Unyo stared at Erina for a while, his face slowly calmed down from its blackened state, while Erina remained composed throughout.
Neither of them showed much expression, but the atmosphere was scariest precisely in this stillness before the storm.
After a long silence, Shinomiya Unyo was the one who spoke first.
"Do you want to start a war?"
Shinomiya Unyo could not represent the entire Shinomiya family, or perhaps he only represented less than one-third of it.
However, he was standing here as a representative of Shinomiya, so if Erina accepted the challenge now, it would essentially mean the formal start of a war between Totsuki and Shinomiya.
That was why Shinomiya Unyo deliberately created a tense atmosphere, and deliberately chose a moment when everyone was watching, before saying the words that the current Erina definitely wouldn't dare to accept.
After all, if Totsuki only started a war with him, Shinomiya Unyo, he couldn't do much to Erina.
But if Totsuki started a war with the entire Shinomiya family-the situation would be different.
Totsuki was indeed a super newcomer, but compared to Shinomiya, Totsuki was still too young in every sense.
So Shinomiya Unyo was certain that Erina wouldn't dare to accept.
And if this woman backed down here, then it would be his time to shine.
Shinomiya Unyo thought this.
But Erina didn't even hesitate.
"Yes, let's start the war."
This...
Shinomiya Unyo widened his eyes, then frowned, quickly adding:
"Not simple things like Kengan or Shokugeki, but a genuine full-scale war... Are you going this far just for such a trivial matter?"
Hearing Shinomiya Unyo say this, Erina suddenly smiled.
Her gaze was condescending, and at that moment, Shinomiya Unyo felt the same feeling Boutril had earlier.
"I didn't expect the Third Young Master of the Shinomiya family to be so naive-the market in this country is only so big. If Totsuki is to expand, even if we can use the influence of the Sanzenin and Togami, we will inevitably expand domestically."
"And the domestic forces in this country are rarely held by the Sanzenin and Togami, but many are held by Shinomiya-so instead of standing here naively talking to me about war or no war... we were enemies from the very beginning, weren't we?"
"You can't even see such a basic fact, and yet you dare to come to Totsuki's territory and show off... Is this one of Shinomiya's successors? That's really disappointing... No, perhaps if the successor is you, then I can rest assured."
"After all, you will definitely ruin the Shinomiya family's millennium foundation!"
"You!"
Shinomiya Unyo couldn't even maintain his composure this time.
Erina's words hit him right where it hurt.
It was already an undeniable fact that he was inferior to his eldest brother-but even so, he still wanted to fight for it, so this area had always been his sore spot!
Because he was inferior to his eldest brother.
His eldest brother also had more support within the family.
So, when Erina said that, he immediately lost his composure.
But Shinomiya was Shinomiya.
An existence raised with an education in Imperial Studies since childhood, so after a moment of losing his composure, Shinomiya Unyo slipped one hand into his pocket, and all expression instantly vanished from his face.
-This was a move that all Shinomiya successors knew.
Kaguya knew it too.
It was a form of self-suggestion.
Kaguya's movement was touching her face with one hand, while Shinomiya Unyo's was slipping one hand into his pocket.
"In that case, so be it."
Shinomiya Unyo, forcefully controlling his expression, turned to leave, then slightly tilted his head back, giving Erina an icy, robotic stare.
"I hope you don't regret this."
He left those words, then walked directly toward the contestant aisle where Boutril was, and Boutril hurriedly followed.
Hearing Shinomiya Unyo's words, Erina let out a cold snort.
She wasn't afraid of Shinomiya Unyo's threat, or rather, she was prepared for it.
She didn't even care much about Shinomiya Unyo's words.
So, just like Jaden had been surprised when Erina suddenly jumped out to protect him, he didn't notice that Jaden's eyes turned instantly cold as he watched Shinomiya Unyo walk away.
If they merely wanted to invite humiliation, Jaden could have given Boutril and Shinomiya Unyo a chance, just for the entertainment.
But they threatened Erina...
Jaden smiled.
The current situation was different from when he faced Toyo Electric.
Shinomiya-this was a family.
As long as the family head, Oko Shinomiya, and this Shinomiya Unyo died-then Kaguya, who was on their side, would become the sole heir of Shinomiya.
Originally, Jaden hadn't intended to be so aggressive, considering these people were Kaguya's family after all.
But since you are asking to die yourselves...
Heh, start a war?
-Just like Erina said, they were enemies from the start, and the war... had already begun!
...
After the Shokugeki ended, Jaden said goodbye to Erina, and while Erina went to deal with the aftermath of the Shokugeki, he went to find Kaguya.
Kaguya was currently staying at the Nakiri family residence, and Hayasaka Ai was living with her.
Seeing Jaden arrive, Hayasaka Ai opened the door and seemed a little surprised.
"Mr. Yuki, is something the matter?"
Jaden nodded.
"I have a small matter to discuss with Shinomiya."
Hearing Jaden say this, Hayasaka Ai opened the door.
And when Jaden stepped inside, he saw Kaguya with her long hair down, her hair and skin seemingly still damp.
-It looked like she had just taken a shower and quickly tidied up her clothes when she heard Jaden arrive.
"Yuki, has something gone wrong?"
Hearing Kaguya ask this, Jaden spoke straightforwardly.
"Shinomiya, if your eldest brother, your third brother, and even your father suddenly died, how would you feel?"
This...
Kaguya was momentarily stunned, then she looked at Jaden, seemingly understanding something.
"I would still be a little sad... Hmm, I would probably be sad for a day."
Shinomiya Kaguya said this expressionlessly, and then she spoke again.
"However, if the Shinomiya succession battle cannot proceed, losing three direct family members all at once would likely encourage the subsidiary companies and families following Shinomiya to start having ideas."
Hearing Kaguya say this, Jaden looked at her.
"Do you care about those people's ideas?"
Shinomiya Kaguya thought for a moment, then shook her head.
"With the current cooperation with Erina... no, I don't care."
"I see..."
Jaden stood up, walked to the main door, and after opening the door, he turned back and nodded to Shinomiya Kaguya.
"Although I deeply regret it, you might have to attend your third brother's funeral in a few days-as for your father and your eldest brother... perhaps they will be overcome with grief because of this, but if their bodies are still strong, they probably won't die, but accidents are inevitable. That's all."
Leaving those words, Jaden departed.
He didn't just leave Kaguya; he also left the Nakiri residence.
Covered by the night, Jaden pinpointed his destination, and then-he headed to the Shinomiya family home!
