3rd POV

The entire Momobami clan except Rei Batsubami are throwing deadly stares at Varun Sharma at his inappropriate comment.

"Is the boy toy you have mentioned since your childhood " Terano Totobami asked.

"What? " Varun said confused. Since when he is a boy toy?.... Varun wondered.

"I wish he were but unfortunately, he is just my childhood friend," Kirari said while smiling slightly. Runa smirked knowing Varun is being ridiculed as a kid.

"You feel like a kid to them, Varun " Runa pointed out.

"Hey, Runa Look there. Someone is finally from your grade. Your preschool playmate " Varun said pointing at Erimi.

"HEY " Both Erimi and Runa protested.

"You all are behaving like children. Please cease childish behavior. This is a serious discussion " Rei said.

" I am still confused about what your gender is, " Varun said.

"What do you mean? He is a boy, right? He wore a boy uniform...GOD. Do you feel unwell " Midari asked with concern mixed with craziness?

"Coming to the point, I have decided to disown the student council and run elections again. This time everyone has the same opportunity to participate. No Favourites.....Not even you....Varun Darling~ " Kirari whispered a melodious seductive whisper which sent chills in his nerves. But Varun composed himself after a while.

"So I can make the entire Momobami clan defeated in one single event. Count me in. I am getting 'house of cards' vibes here " Varun said implying a NetFlix show he had watched with Kirari when they are children.

"You haven't changed. Have you? " Kirari said while joining her hands with Varun

"M-Making w-women p-pregnant...b-by h-holding h-hands. Vile beast " Ririka whispered which was left unheard.

The room is followed by dead silence after Kirari held Varun's hand. Yumemi is glaring fiercely at Kirari while Kirari simply ignored her existence altogether as if Yumemi didn't exist.

The Hundred Devouring Families, also known as the Momobami Clan, are a conglomerate of various branch families that are distantly related to each other. Most of them are very wealthy as well as hold a fair amount of influence over the politics of the entire nation. Their surnames commonly end with the suffix "-bami"

Since the family is very politically influential, whoever becomes a leader instantaneously possesses immense power over the nation. With these high stakes involved, branch families hardly get along and are in a constant state of hostility in order to secure more power for themselves. Many members of the family are being "devoured" by others during gambling matches, meaning they lose everything, even including their own humanity. Most of the issues are solved through gambling matches, thus, most of the family members knew how to gamble since their early childhood.

Each of the Momobami has it's own unique skillset and talents. For example

Jabami family (Member: Yumeko Jabami): Unknown.

Totobami family (Members: Terano Totobami, Yumi Totobami): Peace keeping and balancing between the various branches of the clan.

Inbami family (Member: Miyo Inbami): Medicine business (poisons).

Yobami family (Member: Miri Yobami): Medicine business (medication).

Honebami family (Member: Miroslava Honebami): "Cleaning-up", meaning getting rid of the all the impurities in the family.

Mushibami family (Member: Erimi Mushibami): Torturing business.

Warakubami family (Member: Sumika Warakubami): Entertainment business.

Obami family (Members: Rin Obami, Ibara Obami): Unknown, but they're known for being good in swindling, which means using deception in order to deprive someone of their money or possessions.

Komabami family (Member: Nozomi Komabami): Unknown.

Tsuibami family (Member: Kabura Tsuibami): Unknown.

Then there is Kirari Momobami who literally all of them at some point of in her life. You know Kirari is exceptional when the entire Momobami family who are not known to be cooperative, team up together with hoping to defeat Kirari finally. A lot of members of the family are defeated in clan's conflicts. When members are out of money, the last thing they can bet is their humanity. While losing it, they become livestock to the rest of the clan. They are not treated like humans anymore and have to serve to the main family and other branches

Ironically there is a man standing beside them who has already defeated Kirari once, and he is ready to do it again. That is the man that the Momobami clan has underestimated. A rookie mistake but deadly. Varun had defeated the woman behind the entire scheme effortlessly and with elegance.

"And also the winner will be the head of the Momobami family " Kirari announced.

"So...That applies to me as well, right? " Varun asked confused, he expressed it like a curious and confused kid. Varun held his finger while expressing with a confused and nervous smile.

"So cute " Yumemi on the other hand viewed Varun as a lost kitty.

"Don't be so stupid, there is no way you can win. " Miri Yobami said.

"Yeah you look unfit to put up even a fight, there is no you can win, " Rin Obami said.

"Hey, DON'T UNDERESTIMATE God. He can do anything " Midari defended him.

"Varu may look a little chubby. But he outplays everyone when he is settled in his game " Runa joined.

"Yeah d-don't harass him. He is much more talented than you think. Varun is pretty composed when it comes to deadly games " Yumemi said.

"I hate to be the one here. Can we just stop talking about him for a while " Sayaka said finally snapping.

"Varun's this and Varun that.....What's next? The whole world revolves around him.......

Can we just focus on what happens next or we talk about Varun all day?

Can we just change the subject here " Sayaka said with an annoyed face.

"My, You are jealous, " Kirari said.

"Seems like she likes you very much " Varun commented.

"Even if she likes me. I don't like her that way. To be fair I am against the idea of seeing a woman that way " Kirari said disgusted at the idea of being a lesbian.

The art of burning someone without even realizing- Author Kirari Momobami.

"Why? " Varun asked this time curious by her answer.

"Let's say One boy made me feel that way " Kirari stated.

"I hope he is an Indian. We have fewer Indian people here " Varun said.

The art of playing dense when you aren't dense- Author Varun Sharma.

"Are we ignoring the fact Sayaka just stormed out crying?" Yuriko said.

"Who cares, Fuck her " Midari sighed.

The art of ending an argument with four words- Author Midari Ikishima.

"I don't know how someone can hate me so much before I met Sayaka. Is she that jealous of me...Really " Varun stated.

"Say I have a really interesting life or death game I wanna test it with you, " Erimi said trying to test her master plan on Varun.

"Ooh~ A life or death game! Seems interesting, Right Varun " Midari said getting excited.

"Dunno. Seems sketchy to me. " Varun said getting suspicious.

"Come on. It will be fair game. I will even have a Referee " Erimi said holding out Varun's hand.

"Those little hands of the hand............................. They are the ones that have tortured a lot of people in her life " Varun whispered while looking at Erimi's hand.

"I will make her realize that " Varun said while smiling ominously agreeing to play with her.
