While you were on your way home, Saiba Asahi was facing down Nakiri Erina.

As soon as Erina's eyes fluttered open, Asahi who was sitting on the couch smirked making the atmosphere more tensed than before.

 

"Welcome princess, to my palace... To Saiba Asahi's palace." he stated as his hands were tucked in his pocket. Asahi was sitting on his couch while a spectacled guy (Yusuke) stood behind him.

Don Calma sat on the couch's arm, Sarge was standing near the seated Erina while her chainsaw hung on her shoulder.

She noticed that she was being tied tightly on a chair but- the issue in front of her was bigger than that.

 

'Professor Suzuki's real identity is Saiba Asahi?' Erina thought but quietly let her eyes roamed from one person to another.

 

"Looking for help?" Yusuke asked smirking.

 

"No... I merely thought that the said Queen of the Noirs is a coward. Not even bothering to show her face here." Erina scoffed after finding no signs of a masked terrifying lady. "She's also the mastermind behind the Les Cuisiniers Noirs Shokugeki incidents. Why is she not making an appearance?"

 

'Stop it.'

 

"You're too talkative." Sarge yelled.

"I am merely stating the truth." Erina replied frowning.

 

'That isn't the truth.'

 

"Don't dare speak ill of our Queen like that." Don Calma, who was staying silent; yelled too.

"If you're looking for her, she isn't here and will never be here. (Y/N) isn't the mastermind behind those incidents neither is she in favor of us kidnapping you." Asahi said taking Erina aback.

"What did you say? Who is... the Queen?" Erina asked not wanting to believe what she just heard.

"I am well informed that my queen was once a former guest lecturer during your generation and many had taken a liking on her." Asahi stated. "She must be protecting all of you that's why she kept it as a secret. Well, everyone has dirty little secrets they keep hidden, am I right princess?"

 

That attitude was surely (Y/N)'s trademark. Erina who didn't want to believe it had no choice but silently nod.

"Please refrain from dragging (Y/N)-sama on this mess. She doesn't know anything about we're doing though she's still our leader who keeps us in check." Yusuke replied calmly making Erina sigh in relief.
