Zuina's older sister

Rebelle motioned for Zuina to come closer as Zuina nervously complied.

"Why the hell'd you call her "Onee-sama"?" Rika asked.

*SmacK*

"Don't talk out of line or I shall muzzle you. Hmm, in fact let us do that now. Oh, Ichika, Nino. Restrain your dear sister," Rebelle ordered.

"Huh!? The hell you think you are!" Ichika glared as she tried to support Nino on her shoulders in the pool.

"I heard you framed a woman for something she did not commit, and one of my lovely followers on Bitter sent me an exclusive pic of you two in action. Come and view it on my phone while I attend to another matter," Rebelle sneered as she placed her smartphone on a table and walked over to Benihime.

She then gently pressed a washcloth over her face causing Benihime to go limp. Nino then lost the chariot battle in the pool as Ichika leapt out and grabbed Rebelle's phone. She immediately went pale upon noticing the picture.

"H- How did you-"

"Comply and I delete THAT image I'm prepared to send to the police, or-"

Ichika immediately tackled Rika. Nino, sensing that Ichika had some reason behind her actions, leapt out to help restrain Rika. Rika quickly found herself stripped of her white shirt, leaving her bikini bra underneath fully exposed as she was securely restrained to a chair.

"My, you wore pants to a pool?" Rebelle sneered as she poked and prodded the restrained Rika with her crop.

"Hey, I'm helping out in the kitchen! Let me go!" Rika glared.

"Ah so that explains the attire, you wore a bikini under your work uniform. Well, you are emulating my great mind," Rebelle sneered as she grabbed a grayish purple long dress folded up on one of the pool chairs and put it on.

"People put their clothes on over their swimsuits long before we were even born."

"My dear kohai, I wish to converse with you on a matter before you are muzzled."

"So will you let her go then?" Hanabi glared as she pulled out a knife.

"Why the vicious glare, Helena Bombino?" Rebelle sneered as she effortlessly parried Hanabi's strike with her crop.

"You know, the longer you interrupt me, the greater the risk of me not being able to tell my dear simp NOT to send his copy of Ichika and Nino's little rampage the other night to-"

Ichika and Nino immediately tackled Hanabi, sending all three of them back into the pool. They essentially resumed their game of chariot as Izumi aided Hanabi in tusseling with Nino and Ichika.

"I guess they really are afraid, a shame. Them being noncompliant would have helped dear Mocha Myouchi get out of prison," Rebelle thought as she gazed at her phone.

On screen was a clear picture of Nino and Ichika caught murdering a bunch of thugs. The same ones Mocha was accused of murdering. Rebelle then deleted the picture and ordered her minions to do the same. Mimi and Waki then appeared and attempted to grab Rebelle, only for Rebelle to counter them with her crop.

"My, you've undergone quite the makeover, Waki Kasegawa," Rebelle sneered as she flashed a picture of what Waki looked like before her makeover.

The image was of a girl with pale skin and floor length straight black hair that covered her eyes and even her clothes. She truly did look like she was from a horror movie. Waki immediately froze and glared as Mimi stared at her in confusion.

"Who is she!? Why are you going pale? I don't see what was so scary about that picture," Mimi said.

"It's not that, she knows who I am. Rika too. In addition to being a top class chef, Rebelle Milverton Adler is one of the nastiest blackmailers in the world," Waki whispered.

"Now would the peanut galley voluntarily muzzle themselves while I proclaim my intent," Rebelle smugly glared.

"Onee-sama! Please stop harassing everyone!" Zuina pleaded.

"Zuina Morsten Adler, did I allow you to talk yet?" Rebelle glared.

"You're a bully! All you do is gather peoples secrets to blackmail them with!"

"And? It was because if that that we were able to start a new life for ourselves after our parents died. And for the record, I am a journalist and chef. I write culinary and gossip columns and own and manage the most high class all organic restaurant, Nature's candy bistro."

"Wait, Zuina's your sister, for real-"

*Smack*

"Disobedient, well guess I'll make due with muzzling you," Rebelle glared as she retrieved a gag ball from her bag.

"It's true, she is my older sister, though I'm surprised you didn't know that. We have the same last name," Zuina said to Rika.

"I um, didn't look at the employment documents," Rika sheepishly stated.

"Oh my! That might even elicit a laugh from me! Why you are just as carefree as you were back in Tabemono!" Rebelle laughed as she twirled a gag ball in her hand.

"You were the worst senpai ever! A Makihara supporter, a blackmailing asshole, and you tried to kill me on that field trip to Madagascar-Mmph!" Rika glared as Rebelle gagged her.

"I did no such thing. Those horrible poachers were the ones that nearly killed you."

"Mmph NGH mmph ngh mmph! (And YOU hired them!)"

"Since I am saddened by the culinary world's loss of our dear Saiba Makihara, I have decided to honor his life and memory with this cook-off challenge," Rebelle proclaimed as she pulled back Rika's gag ball.

"Uh, I don't think he's dead," Rika glared.

"METAPHORICALLY, Saiba Makihara has passed. Thus I am issuing a cook off challenge to one Zuina Morsten Adler," Rebelle declared.

"Why Zuina!?"

"Because you shall be one of the judges. As for the other two, Miss Itsuki Makihara and Miss Nino Korosekai," Rebelle sneered as she put the gag ball back in Rika's mouth.

"Korosekai? Oh, I guess maybe she-"

"No dear Zuina, Korosekai is her's and Rika's true original surname. For they are members of an infamous assassin family, the Korosekai family which is an offshoot of the Shibawara family which in turn has ties to the infamous Bombino family of Italy."

Everyone froze upon hearing the revelation.

"Assassins!? Onee-sama, this isn't fu-"

Rebelle then showed Zuina her phone. Zuina went pale and struggled not to vomit as she looked at the images she was shown.

"This was when I decided to take my little kohai on a trip to Madagascar for culinary purposes. There, I discovered she was actually a viscous assassin, why I heard she's even killed your friend Shinohime-san's father, and more recently, your good friend Hinari," Rebelle sneered.

Both Rika and Zuina went pale with shock upon hearing that.

"Hmm? Seems my journalistic judgement was correct. Shinohime-san is the only one present who seems to be unaware of Rika Korosekai's true past. She has been cholorophormed and will not wake up for another hour. Of course if Zuina loses the cook off or refuses to partake in it, I shall tell Shinohime-san about you, Rika. Now should Zuina win, I shall release you and subject myself to a punishment. Hmm, perhaps maybe I'll let the young innocent blonde choose a punishment. No need to hold back, I'm immune to humiliation. Why I'll even adopt the look Miss Itsuki Makihara had a little while ago," Rebelle sneered as she flashed a photo of Itsuki when she and Rika were confronted by Makihara.

"You may be a better chef, and more dedicated to cooking than Takeda, but you're still scum," Itsuki glared.

"And I appreciate you agreeing to judge. Of course, this is all up to Zuina. I'm giving her a choice whether to participate for you Rika. Should she choose to and lose, she will be leaving your restaurant and coming to work at mine, where I will properly train her how to cook as per Makihara-san's wise words. But if she refuses the challenge, no punishment shall befall her. I'll even leave her friends alone," Rebelle taunted.

Zuina stood in silence before walking up to Rika.

"Did you kill Hinari?" she asked.

"Mmmph ngh mmph-"

"DID YOU KILL HER!?"

"Mmph," Rika somberly nodded.

"Oh, my apologies but the muzzle must stay on and may only be temporarily removed for when she samples dishes, assuming there will even be a cookoff," Rebelle sneered.

Zuina glared at Rika as Rika began to tremble. Based on Zuina's glare, it was looking like Zuina would refuse to participate.
