Renji Kuroda furrowed her brows slightly, thought for a moment, then turned to Hayakawa Aki.
"Hayakawa Aki, do you actually know what people mean when they say 'a man's little man'?"
Upon hearing that, Aki's cheeks instantly flushed with a faint red hue. She seemed flustered, and her words came out haltingly.
"Cough… cough…! I… I've heard a bit. Back when I first started working, I came across some information during an investigation into the Man's Religion. I learned a little from there."
She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself before continuing. "It's said… that it's because of this 'little man' that someone can even be called a real man."
After saying that, Aki seemed to realize how that might sound and quietly glanced at Renji, clearly gauging her reaction.

Renji gave a small nod of agreement, brushing past Aki's suspicious glance without comment.
Then Aki paused again, as though suddenly remembering something important. She spoke quickly, as if to prevent any misunderstanding.
"But personally, I still don't fully believe that men actually exist in this world. The Man's Religion is a banned cult, after all. All those strange claims they make—those aren't facts, they're brainwashing tactics. Delusions."
Renji nodded in agreement again, her mind already pondering whether this third question needed the same kind of honest answer as the previous two.
But then Aki's voice broke her thoughts again.
"What about you? Do you think so too?"
"Hm? Yeah, I do. It's just a cult," Renji replied without thinking much.
But Aki shook her head. "No, that's not what I meant."
Her tone grew serious, and her eyes locked on Renji with an intensity that was hard to ignore—like she was trying to see something deeper.
"I mean—Renji Kuroda. I don't really believe that men exist in this world. What about you? Do you believe they do?"
Renji looked at Aki, seeing the weight behind her question. The sincerity in her gaze made it clear—this wasn't just idle curiosity. She wanted the truth.
And in that moment, a memory flickered through Renji's mind—an old scene from a previous gathering of the Public Safety Special Division.
That time, because of her, Aki had ended up in a drinking contest with Makima. Aki had used that opportunity to try and fish for information—something about Renji's "special nature." And while she'd ultimately lost the match, Renji knew Aki wasn't the type to stop digging.
And Makima? She definitely knew the truth: Renji Kuroda was, in reality, a man.
It was likely Makima hadn't told Aki directly. More likely, she just hinted—implying that Renji held unusual importance.
Which meant… Aki had probably already guessed.
It made sense. Any woman who spent enough time around Renji eventually started acting differently. Their gazes lingered too long. Their cheeks flushed for no reason. Aki had been the same way at the start.
She just… got used to it.
After all, she was a woman too.
[Ding~ Detected Hayakawa Aki's confused emotion, system rewards 20 points.]
Renji let the thought hang for a moment, then spoke evenly.
"Personally, I'm still inclined to believe that men exist."
"Oh… is that so…" Aki responded, her voice soft.
Then, slowly, she picked up the pen and said:
"Then I know how to answer the second question."
'If it's Renji Kuroda, I don't dislike the little man. If it's not Renji Kuroda, then I dislike the little man.'
After writing her answer, Aki looked up at Renji.
"Does this look okay to you? Should I change anything?"
Renji gave a calm shake of her head.
"No, that's fine."
Hayakawa Aki's meaning was already very clear; it wasn't even a test, but a direct, blatant statement.
"Renji Kuroda, if you change it, I will admit that you are not a man, and my suspicion is wrong, but I might die because of the wrong answer."
"If you don't change it, then you admit that you are a man."
"Even if you don't admit it verbally, Renji Kuroda, it's just an unspoken understanding between us."
Unable to hold back, Renji Kuroda smiled, suddenly feeling that in this world, the gender-bent version of Hayakawa Aki was not just virtuous, but also had a hint of cunningness.
"Ding~ Detected Hayakawa Aki's happy emotion, the system rewards 20 points."
"Then let's do the fourth question."
Hayakawa Aki said. The fourth question on the white paper was:
"Fourth Question: Do you know the length of a man's little man after being hard?"
Seeing this question, Hayakawa Aki no longer pretended, looking directly at Renji Kuroda, waiting for him to tell her the answer, her face gradually heating up.
"For this question, probably 13 to 23 centimeters."
"Ding~ Detected Hayakawa Aki's shocked emotion, the system rewards 20 points."
Hayakawa Aki didn't speak, merely lowered her head, silently writing the answer, 23 centimeters, on the white paper.
Inside her chest, her small heart was now pounding rapidly, filled with surprise and uncertainty, and she couldn't help but start letting her imagination run wild.
"Renji Kuroda must be telling the truth, right? After all, if he doesn't tell the truth, I'll die…"
"But… is this real? 23 centimeters… that's too exaggerated…"
Hayakawa Aki suddenly remembered that when she visited Himeno-senpai's home before, Himeno had recommended that limited edition purple dildo to her…
The length of this limited purple stick was exactly 18 centimeters.
Himeno had told Hayakawa Aki at the time that the item was incredibly comfortable, so she strongly recommended Hayakawa Aki buy one too, but Hayakawa Aki refused.
But now, hearing this number from Renji Kuroda's mouth… Hayakawa Aki couldn't help but feel a little…
Renji Kuroda's little Renji, its length already far exceeded this limited edition purple stick…
Is it really that exaggerated…
Hayakawa Aki, who was already full of curiosity and fear towards this mysterious object, now felt a surge of astonishment like a tide…
Were a man's little man always this exaggerated, or was it only Renji Kuroda's little Renji whose length was so exaggerated…
What about the thickness?
Hayakawa Aki's pink lips parted slightly, instinctively wanting to ask this, but she held back.
"Next is the fourth question."
Renji Kuroda continued to look.
"Fifth Question: Do you know how much white substance a man's little man can release at once?"
Renji Kuroda thought carefully, then said to the distracted Hayakawa Aki:
"Write 460 milliliters."
