"A reason why we must drink a non-alcoholic beverage? Can't everyone just drink beer?"
"Absolutely not. This is a big deal concerning Nanaka-nee's personal safety. Please take this seriously, you guy!"
"Eh?"
In the kitchen, Iori Kitahara looked at Yu, who was taking out iced barley tea from the refrigerator and pouring it into draft beer mugs one by one, and tilted his head, clueless about what this guy was up to.
In fact, Miyazawa Yu was also helpless about this, but taking sleeping pills and alcohol together might have adverse effects.
Given the underlying code of the Pab club, which is miserable without alcohol, he urgently needed a reason why everyone absolutely could not drink tonight!
"In that case, how about we say there's a test tomorrow, and drinking might lower our scores?"
"In that case, only us freshmen would be prohibited from drinking. The seniors must be forced to go along too!"
"A reason why Kotobuki-senpai and Tokita-senpai also can't drink..."
This was a bit difficult. Iori Kitahara held his chin in thought for a long time, and finally raised a finger and said seriously: "How about putting cephalosporin in the food?"
"That really is a solution to the problem that lasts forever... but Pass!"
It really was a method Iori would come up with. Miyazawa Yu originally thought he was despicable enough, but Iori still managed to surprise him with a little something from time to time.
But indeed, besides cephalosporin, there might be no other way to keep the Pab club away from alcohol.
However, that would be too obvious. It would be suspicious at a glance, and Azusa-senpai would definitely discover that he tampered with the drinks.
"Neither this nor that works. What exactly are you trying to do, Yu?"
"Hmm... the target is Azusa-senpai, and the goal is to make her drink a specific beverage. Those are basically all the requirements!"
"Azusa-senpai? You guy are definitely planning something bad, aren't you."
Frowning, Iori Kitahara let out a light laugh while thinking of a countermeasure to ease the atmosphere, "Could it be that you want to put something in Azusa-senpai cup?"
"..."
"Wait! Yu, what do you mean, speak up!"
In the shocking silence, under Iori Kitahara's increasingly panicked gaze, Miyazawa Yu stiffly turned his head to the other side, his big eyes filled with guilt—
Truly worthy of being a scumbag who shares the same mind as him, he actually guessed the truth so accurately without any hints. It seems he needs to be more cautious with his words and actions in the future!
"Failing grade..."
"Ugh! You guy, do you think you've got me completely figured out?"
Feeling threatened, Iori Kitahara raged powerlessly at Yu, who completely dared not turn his head back.
If it were Kohei, he would have already taken action, after all, the traitor who covets Azusa-senpai must be executed!
But if the target is Yu...
He was at a complete disadvantage in terms of force, and the other party was Azusa-senpai legitimate boyfriend. Under the dual physical and psychological disadvantages, he could only sigh lightly and offer a terrible idea.
"How about trying to provoke Azusa-senpai rebellious psychology? Or threatening her with something she likes?"
"...Rebellious psychology?"
Rebellious psychology is a way of dealing with things by adopting a completely opposite attitude to the other party's request in order to maintain one's self-esteem.
Crossing his arms, Miyazawa Yu lowered his head and imagined that if he forcefully ordered Azusa-senpai to drink alcohol, Azusa-senpai would probably be more than willing and wouldn't feel any so-called rebelliousness.
But if he proposed in advance to get Azusa-senpai drunk so she couldn't harass Nanaka-nee, Azusa-senpai would definitely not comply with his wishes for the sake of her beloved Nanaka...
"It's very feasible!"
"Feasible?"
It was just a casual suggestion, and Iori Kitahara completely didn't expect his half-baked plan to be adopted.
Looking at the gradually wicked smile on Yu's face, he swallowed and secretly vowed that he would definitely warn Azusa-senpai later.
Even if it ruined Yu's plan and he was hung up and used as a sandbag, he would not hesitate!
On the other side, Miyazawa Yu completely ignored the resolute Iori. After all, the latter's existence was like a pair of worn-out old underwear—when it was time to throw it away after repurposing it as a cleaning rag, you throw it away!
Quietly clenching the medicine bottle in his hand, he used his body as a cover to quickly dissolve the sleeping pills into the iced barley tea. With that, Azusa-senpai special sedative barley tea was complete!
As for the remaining medicine bottle, Miyazawa Yu casually threw it into the kitchen trash can. When he cleaned up the trash early tomorrow morning, his criminal evidence would be taken away by the garbage truck, and even if Azusa-senpai noticed something was wrong and wanted to settle the score, there would be no proof!
...
"Hey, Kohei, is this very interesting?"
At the same time, in the living room on the other side, Yoshikawa Aina leaned boredly on the table, lost in thought.
Chisa and Yu's relationship was unclear, and Iori's attitude towards Chisa was also ambiguous, but she could only watch Rarako with Kohei.
From every perspective, as a secret admirer, she was undoubtedly a failing loser!
"Of course! This is the Rarako Gourmet Special Edition. I didn't expect there to be a videotape here!"
"I see... are you crying?"
Looking at Kohei, who was trembling all over with tears streaming down his face, Aina Yoshikawa felt a strong sense of relief along with her disgust.
After all, she wasn't the only one who was useless. This feeling was like being late for school and finding that your good friend was also standing outside the classroom for punishment!
"These are tears of emotion!"
"Yes! Yes! It's great that Kohei is a two-dimensional otaku. Don't ever get a girlfriend in the future either!"
"Wait, did you just say something very rude, cakey!"
For a moment, Kohei Imamura couldn't distinguish whether Aina was agreeing with his taste or simply demeaning him, so he pressed the pause button on the TV and stretched.
"How are those two guys doing? Iori didn't make sashimi, did he?"
"That shouldn't be... right?"
Tilting her head, since Yu was there, Yoshikawa Aina didn't think the former would allow Iori to serve a dish like sashimi on the table.
However, given Iori's extremely low standards, she didn't dare to completely rule out the possibility of him pushing through the pressure and just doing a perfunctory job.
Exchanging glances with Kohei, in order to prevent the disastrous event of three or even four servings of sashimi appearing on the table, both of them felt it was necessary to inspect the kitchen!
"Um, Yu! Are you two done..."
Without a moment's hesitation, the villa's kitchen was open-plan. Aina and Kohei could see Yu with his back to them from afar as soon as they walked out of the living room.
However, just as Yoshikawa Aina raised her hand and started to ask, they saw Yu coldly sneering and putting something into the draft beer mug.
"!!!"
Their eyes instantly widened. This scene felt a bit familiar. Kohei Imamura almost immediately connected the scene in front of him with the adult anime genre.
A lewd smile, secretly putting something into the cup behind Iori's back—isn't this the common setup for NTR !!!
"Wuwuwu..."
"Shh, be quiet!"
Kohei Imamura clapped a hand over Aina's mouth and pulled her into his arms, then darted into the corner of the living room, gasping for breath, his eyes filled with visible horror.
"That guy Yu, he's committing a crime!"
"Pff ah... a crime? What crime? Kohei, are you misunderstanding something?"
Her small face instantly turned red like a monkey's butt. It was the first time she had been held so forcefully by a boy. Yoshikawa Aina struggled to push Kohei's hand away.
But she couldn't care about the impropriety between men and women right now. Hearing Kohei say Yu was committing a crime, the innocent girl's first reaction was doubt.
Just like in the market, later they learned that the married woman and high school student the seniors ordered were just types of fish.
Did Kohei mishear something again? After all, there was a precedent...
"This should be fine."
Separated by a wall, the sound of something being thrown into the trash can, followed by Miyazawa Yu's self-talk, drifted over, "With this, Azusa-senpai should be able to sleep soundly..."
"???"
Her body stiff in Kohei's arms, Yoshikawa Aina's pupils contracted, and she sat powerlessly on the latter's lap. Fortunately, Kohei had some muscle and managed to support the petite girl.
However, the physical stiffness was secondary; the mental shock was the critical hit!
The corner of her mouth twitched twice. She stared up at Kohei's eyes with a distorted expression, opening her mouth in disbelief.
"Did I mishear just now?"
"Without a doubt, 100% authentic. That guy Yu is setting up for NTR!"
"Waaah—!?"
She was only slow to react because she was inexperienced, but she wasn't a sheltered rich girl. Yoshikawa Aina certainly knew what NTR meant!
She was like a startled kitten, clinging to Kohei Imamura's collar and shaking her head frantically with tears streaming down her face.
"N-no way! We are just college students... Wait! This has nothing to do with age at all!"
"Although I really want to comfort you too, but..."
Quietly poking his head out and pulling the trash can closer, Kohei Imamura nervously pulled the medicine bottle out of it, then turned his head away sadly, covering his face.
"See for yourself!"
"..."
Looking at the conspicuous label on the medicine bottle, Yoshikawa Aina instantly turned gray, and her soul slowly floated out of her mouth, ascending to heaven—
It's confirmed. There is no room for argument. What exactly is this guy Yu going to do to Azusa-senpai!!!
