The Heroines Can Read My Secret Diary

Erina knew exactly what had happened to the assassin who ate Hakuto's Thousand Cuts Heart of Cooking dish. Therefore, she would never agree to Saiba Asahi eating Hakuto's cooking. There was a precedent for disaster!

Hakuto looked at Erina with some exasperation. "Erina, really, you can trust me. I can choose not to kill Saiba Asahi, but Saiba Asahi must pose no threat to me. Even if you get angry at me for this, I'm doing this for your own good."

Then Hakuto looked at Saiba Asahi. "You have two choices now. First, eat my cooking. Second, I send you to join your subordinates and find you a nice spot in Tokyo Bay."

Erina was so angry it felt like her chest might grow a full cup size. She looked at Hakuto and said, "For my own good? Then if you're going to kill him, you might as well kill me too. Otherwise, I won't let you lay a hand on him."

Alice, standing nearby, also said to Hakuto, "If you're going to kill Erina, then kill me too. I won't watch you hurt Erina, Haku."

'Are you guys nesting dolls here?'

[Damn, I knew it. Once Erina found out about this, there would definitely be trouble. Sure enough, now it's one nesting doll after another. If I want to kill Saiba Asahi, Erina says kill her too. Then Alice says if I kill Erina, kill her too. I don't want to kill any of you. I just want to kill Saiba Asahi alone.]

The group reading Hakuto's diary almost couldn't help but laugh. Erina, standing nearby, slightly turned her head away. But no matter what, that bastard Hakuto absolutely could not kill Saiba Asahi.

"Saiba Asahi, do you really want to hide behind a woman and watch her suffer humiliation and beg for mercy on your behalf?"

Erina's eyes blazed as she looked at Hakuto. "Suffer humiliation and beg for mercy"? What was that supposed to mean?

Erina's face darkened, and she was about to make a move. But Saiba Asahi stopped her. He looked at Erina and said, "Only a brother protects his sister, not the other way around. Besides, this guy is coming for me anyway."

Regardless of whether Erina was his sister or not, Saiba Asahi acknowledged her. He could feel that sense of familial bond from Erina. That was why Saiba Asahi preferred to face this himself rather than let Erina be in danger.

"Be a man, then. Make your choice. Choice one or choice two? Which will it be?"

Hakuto looked at Saiba Asahi and said calmly. Saiba Asahi took a deep breath and said, "I choose one. I'll eat your cooking. If I eat it, you'll let me go, right?"

"Of course."

"Did you kill all of my subordinates?"

"Those in the residential area are all in Tokyo Bay now. The ones remaining at the Totsuki Resort are still alive, but they'll be joining them in Tokyo Bay soon."

"Let them go."

Saiba Asahi looked at Hakuto and made a request. But Hakuto sneered and refused. "If you don't uproot the evil, it will grow back. I won't leave any threats for myself. I'm not afraid of threats, but I am afraid of threats to the people around me. So they have to die."

Hearing this, Saiba Asahi was silent for a moment, then said, "If I survive, I will control them and make sure they pose no threat to you. Let them go."

Hakuto gave a noncommittal smile. "Let's see if you survive first."

Deliberately avoiding looking at Erina's expression, Hakuto took out a dish he had prepared earlier—a plate of fried rice. He couldn't be bothered to put too much effort into making a really good dish. There was no need.

But to Hakuto's surprise, Erina snatched it away and ate it herself. The corner of his eye twitched slightly as he looked at Erina, whose face was flushed as if... Hakuto looked up at the ceiling speechlessly. Alice asked Hakuto anxiously, "Hakuto, what about... Erina, she..."

"Don't worry, Erina will be fine. I anticipated this situation. That's why the Heart of Cooking I used this time is different from last time."

He took the remaining fried rice from the pot and divided it into two portions, one for Saiba Asahi and one for Alice.

"Eat."

Seeing Hakuto's expression, Alice chose to trust him and ate it. Immediately, Alice felt surrounded by an overwhelming sense of love.

Saiba Asahi looked at Hakuto in confusion. But it was only after he ate that he understood just how poisonous Hakuto's cooking really was.

The Heart of Cooking contained within Hakuto's dish felt like sulfuric acid being poured over Saiba Asahi. His whole body fell to the ground, convulsing. Erina grabbed Hakuto by the collar.

"What did you do to him?"

"Love. In the Heart of Cooking of this fried rice, I added love. Erina and Alice, the two of you have positive Hearts of Cuisine, so it doesn't affect you. But Saiba Asahi is different. He has a negative Heart of Cooking. When positive and negative collide, one must emerge victorious. The loser will naturally become ashes."

Erina looked at Saiba Asahi. "If something happens to him, I will never forgive you."

"That's fine. You will forget everything that happened today. You won't remember Saiba Asahi. You won't remember anything that happened today."

[What a joke. Little Erina thinks she can threaten me? Once the Saiba Asahi matter is settled, I'll delete all of Erina's memories. Then Erina won't remember anything that happened today. A mere Saiba Asahi thinks he can affect the relationship between Erina and me?]

Erina's face instantly turned sour. Hakuto continued, "Yamaguchi Teiji, that useless fool, couldn't handle even such a small matter. I didn't want this to happen, but you found out anyway."

"So I had no choice but to resort to this. Erina, I regret having to do this. Of course, if he survives, then I probably won't need to delete your memories of today."

"What exactly did you do to him?"

"Nothing much. I just used my Heart of Cooking to shatter his Heart of Cooking. There are only two outcomes. One, he dies. Two, his Heart of Cooking is shattered."

[I've gone to great lengths for Erina. I hope Saiba Asahi has enough fight in him to survive.]

Suddenly, Saiba Asahi let out a loud cry. Then, some red mist continuously seeped out of his body. Finally, he lay motionless on the ground like a dead fish.
