A dark conference room deep within the Clock Tower.
The Twelve Monarchs gathered at the Clock Tower; all of them looked serious, as if they were discussing something of great importance.
"It's too much; it's simply lawless. To shoot directly at the Clock Tower and cause so much damage..." The Barthomeloi Monarch, Barthomeloi Lorelei, said angrily.
This Monarch was born into a prestigious family and was assisted by the Dean. She had a strong sense of elitism and looked down on almost everyone outside of her own family.
She was blushing now, strongly condemning Haruto's behavior. However, only she knew what she was truly thinking.
In fact, when she first saw Haruto, she was attracted by his amazing charm and appearance. She had always felt an urge in her heart to possess him, to have him, and to "train" him.
The Monarch, with these tendencies, had always wanted to place Haruto beneath her and use her leather whip to lash him. Because Haruto is Zelretch's disciple, she could only trip him up in secret, wishing to make him surrender and lick the shoes on her feet.
Once she found out about the relationship between Haruto and Aozaki Touko, she became very jealous. She wanted to take a shot at Aozaki Touko, but Haruto found out. Now that Haruto has made big news again, of course, she hurried to create another stumbling block.
Monarch Ulysses was a little surprised to see Barthomeloi so excited. "Isn't Araya Souren a disciple of Lord Valualeta? Why are you so excited?"
Seeing the surprised look on Monarch Ulysses' face, Barthomeloi Lorelei—who was almost exposed—quickly cleared her throat.
"Cough. I don't care about every student in the Clock Tower."
"A lawless person like Haruto should be punished. Otherwise, every student in our Clock Tower will be in class all day in fear. How can this be allowed? Is there no king's law? Is there no justice?" Inorai Valualeta said sadly.
"Lord Valualeta, don't worry; your disciple will not die in vain. I will personally punish Haruto." Barthomeloi looked at Valualeta with a resolute expression.
Inorai Valualeta looked bewildered at this time. Actually, she didn't care much, and she still had a student named Touko. And how could she blame him, given the relationship between Touko and Haruto?
But looking at Barthomeloi's fighting spirit, she couldn't say anything. She could only silently wave her fan and pray for Haruto to go easy on them.
Kayneth said weakly at this time: "Well... I think Lord Trambelio has something to say."
At this moment, everyone looked at the Monarch of Trambelio, who was wearing a cast and sitting in a wheelchair, his mouth making slurred noises. Looking at the excited but inarticulate Monarch, everyone couldn't help but let out a sorry sigh. He had been hammered half to death by Haruto, and now he was stuck in a plaster cast in a wheelchair.
"He deserves it. Who told him to meddle in business that wasn't his—especially Lord Haruto's affairs?" The person who spoke was a girl with pale orange-pink hair in two ponytails. Her name was May Riddel Archelot, one of the Twelve Sovereigns of the Clock Tower.
She is also an idol. She calls herself a "Super British Girl," and her family is very rich. She usually holds concerts all over the world as an idol singer (Did she decide to debut as an idol to save the Clock Tower?).
She is now Haruto's number one fan. After Haruto came to the Clock Tower, she was captivated by his glance and smile. She became the head of Haruto's entire fan group. In her words, she is a "Super British Beautiful Girl" and Haruto is a "Super Handsome Boy," making them a perfect match. She is very envious of Touko and Shiki.
"Barthomeloi, you don't have to waste your efforts. You really think you can beat Lord Haruto?" Archelot always felt that Barthomeloi was unusually obsessed with Haruto. She had been on guard against this woman, feeling that she had bad intentions toward him. Perhaps this was a woman's intuition.
Barthomeloi glanced at Haruto's number one fan and said dissatisfiedly: "Lord Archelot, please remember your position as one of the Twelve Monarchs. Please do not be swayed by your emotions." This woman got in her way every day. Last time, it was this woman's letter to Haruto that stopped her when she started to move against Touko.
"Hmph, you just want to settle a personal vendetta publicly." Archelot felt that the woman just wanted revenge for the beating Haruto gave her after her actions were exposed last time.
When Barthomeloi heard the mention of the last incident, she couldn't help but think of Haruto beating her back then. Her face turned a little red as she felt as if her buttocks were still being slapped by him. She secretly wanted to be beaten by Haruto again, and a strange feeling arose in her heart.
Then, Barthomeloi reacted instantly. No, that's not it. I should be the one hitting him...
Everyone present was looking at her. After she snapped out of it, she pretended to be calm.
"Archelot, I am perfectly fair and will never bend the law for personal gain. So, Archelot, you should stop acting like a fangirl."
"You're the fangirl! Your whole family are fangirls!" Archelot barked back at Barthomeloi.
"That's excessive, Archelot, you nympho!" Barthomeloi snorted.
In this way, the two continued to argue. The other Monarchs silently listened to their bickering until the meeting finally came to an end.

Two days later.
In the early morning, the view outside the window was full of lush, thick green foliage. It was so pleasant as a beam of sunlight shone through the glass.
Haruto sat beside the bed, looking at the two beauties sleeping there. He couldn't help but recall the madness of last night.
Sigh, this Doomsday Gene... it's incredible. Especially this infinite physical strength. He silently gave the system a glowing review.
After putting on his clothes and heading to the kitchen, Haruto skillfully tied his apron and prepared breakfast for the three of them. Ten minutes later, the two girls woke up.
The personality of Ryougi Shiki today was "Shiki." Yes, after the battle last night, Shiki and SHIKI were defeated, and Shiki took over. Touko was next to her, looking like she truly knew how to enjoy herself.
"Yo! Haruto, morning," Shiki greeted cheerfully as she sat at the dining table. Although she had been transformed into a woman, her personality hadn't changed much, though it was slightly more feminine.
"Oh, morning, Shiki," Haruto smiled.
Touko looked at Shiki, who was so energetic, and felt a little envious. Having multiple personalities was certainly convenient. Tired? Switch personalities and feel re-energized.
After breakfast, Haruto left the Clock Tower with Shiki to send her back to the Ryougi household. Because Touko wasn't interested, she did not follow Haruto to the Einzbern house.
SWISH
Haruto took Shiki back to the Ryougi residence. As soon as they landed, a group of bodyguards in black suits stood in front of the house and bowed neatly.
"Welcome home, Miss and Master!"
Haruto saw this scene and his mouth twitched slightly. He turned to Shiki helplessly.
"Shiki, how many times have I told you? I don't want these kinds of scenes. I'm not a gangster."
Shiki smiled. "What can you do? This is traditional etiquette. You might not be one, but we are."
"Okay. By the way, remember to help me keep an eye on the two little girls in the Fujou family. Let me know if there is any news of them appearing at the Tohno family," Haruto said sternly.
"Yes, Hisui and Kohaku, right? I really don't know why you care so much about those two," Shiki said playfully.
Haruto reached out and touched Shiki's head.
"It's just a wish. If those twins are not rescued in time, they will enter a nightmare at the Tohno family."
Haruto remembered the fate of the twins who were adopted by the Tohno family. They thought it would be heaven, but it turned out to be a nightmare. A little girl was used by Tohno Makihisa to suppress his inversion impulse. As for how he suppressed it... it was through a "liquid exchange."
For an old man to do such a thing to a little girl was beastly. Thinking of this, Haruto's eyes turned cold. Once he secured the twins, he intended to slaughter the entire Tohno family.
It wasn't that he hadn't looked for them; he had gone to the Tohno family before and hadn't found them. Haruto could only guess that the timeline of this world was different, and he couldn't remember exactly when the twins were supposed to appear there.
He had no choice but to give up the active search and let the Ryougi family keep watch. After saying goodbye to Shiki, Haruto flew toward Germany.
