"Finally..."
"It's over! I thought I'd have to sacrifice my butt to Seikai to get away..."
At 7 PM in a KTV near Seikai, the dynamic music couldn't wake up their exhausted spirits.
Iori Kitahara and Kohei Imamura were lying on the glass coffee table with their tongues sticking out, their souls having floated out of their mouths for the most part.
Honestly, even though they got rid of the scumbag, the students from Seikai Main Campus were still difficult to handle, and there were several times when they almost got caught and exposed on the spot.
Outdoor activities like this really challenge a person's heart...
"Hey, Iori, the song you requested is up~"
"I'll be right there, I need to vent all my pent-up frustration!"
"Don't pour all your troubles into other people's ears, you guy, do you have any basic KTV etiquette!"
With an ice towel placed on his face by Nanaka-san, Miyazawa Yuu's speaking voice was muffled by gurgling sounds, like a completely cooled corpse coming back to life to claim a life.
"If you're talking about etiquette, it's clearly you who is in the wrong!"
Walking over with dead fish eyes, Sakurako Tokishima looked at a certain person who was 'playing dead' on Nanaka's lap, her face full of visible dissatisfaction.
Taking the remaining ice towel from the bucket of iced wine, she found the spot and directly smeared it on Miyazawa Yuu's face.
"Hey!"
"Pffft! Pururu! Tokishima, are you crazy! Waterboarding has been canceled from the Great Memory Recovery Technique since the last century!"
The weight on his face increased dramatically, and his oral and nasal breathing were completely blocked. Miyazawa Yuu immediately struggled to shake off the towel, not understanding what kind of craziness this woman Tokishima was up to again!
"Eh? Oh, you know that? So, wasn't it agreed to have a celebration party together?"
Propping up her chin, Sakurako Tokishima felt the inexplicable pent-up frustration in her heart dissipate a little as she looked at Miyazawa Yuu's displeasure, and she teased him playfully: "Why did you bring us here? Are you afraid of meeting the parents?"
"Exactly! Exactly! We also want to have a drinking party with the Pab Club! I heard from Director Kudou that the Pab Club's drinking parties are very unique!"
Holding a watermelon and raising her hand in protest, Kanon Natsume knew where Yuuma currently lived, which was just separated by the floorboards from where the Pab Club held its drinking parties.
If they could directly raid the base, maybe they could get hold of—a weakness like ecchi books under the bed!
"Huh? Are you serious? You ungrateful bunch!"
Staring at the three girls he had just rescued with surprised eyes, Miyazawa Yuu tilted his head as if he had heard something unbelievable.
Girls! And three of them! They actually want to go to the Pab Club's night drinking party!
You really don't understand the value of the sentence: You can sleep immediately after drinking, and Iori's room is very big!
"I'm telling you! Drinking at night at the Pab Club will be the safest thing you'll ever do in your life, so don't try it easily, and don't mention drinking to the people in the Pab Club, understood?!"
"Eh? Why?"
"Isn't safety a good thing?"
While that is true, the Pab Club's safety means that when you sleep, you are surrounded by at least four or five burly men.
It's a living hell where even getting up to go to the bathroom will wake up a few naked men who will open the door and turn on the light for you, and even give you a full set of services including whistling and cheering!
"Ugh..."
Rubbing his forehead and trying to avoid recalling the miserable daily life, Miyazawa Yuu knew that merely talking wouldn't be enough to explain, so...
"Moshi moshi! Shou-senpai, how's your drinking going?"
"Ah? Is that... Yuu? I almost didn't recognize you with clothes on! It's already the second round, when are you coming back?"
Three little heads leaned forward onto Miyazawa Yuu, and Kanon Natsume instantly recognized the guy on the video call as the strong man who had defeated their TinkerBell!
But the strange thing was, although it was only his upper body, why wasn't he wearing a shirt? Did he take it off because he drank too much?
"We'll be a bit later, if there's a night session..."
Shushing the eager beauties behind him, Miyazawa Yuu smiled brightly and guided: "Shou-senpai, could you call over a senpai with the most equipment?"
"No problem, Azuma, come here, Yuu is looking for you!"
"Eh? Is something up?"
Completely unaware that he had fallen into a trap, Azuma pushed away the layers of strong men on him and walked openly in front of the camera.
"Good evening, Yuu, what's the matter?"
"Nothing, nothing! I just wanted to admire Azuma-senpai heroic figure~"
"Hoo-hoo! You have good taste! Look at this body that hasn't been ravaged by final exams yet, yoya!"
It has to be said that it was a very standard crab pose, but Miyazawa Yuu's focus was completely not on the shining muscles, but rather aimed his attention directly at Azuma-senpai current attire.
As a senpai who has already decided to pursue graduate studies, Azuma's method of increasing equipment is very simple: stick pencils into his afro head regardless of anything else!
However, what is disheartening is that even though his head is still stuck like a hedgehog, his equipment has been cleared down to only his sweat-soaked panties, standing firm alone.
One might think he was poor and had no clothes to wear!
"..."
The breathing behind him suddenly froze. Miyazawa Yuu knew that the warning effect was absolutely excellent, and Azuma-senpai with his dazzling muscles was enough to cause significant psychological trauma to these fledgling girls.
"Th-that... why is it just panties?"
"Because it's Baseball Punch (Yakyū-ken), it would definitely be inconvenient to wear clothes!"
Calmly putting his hands on his hips to display his Rilakkuma panties, Kohei Imamura looked at Kanon Natsume, whose face was completely red, and suddenly felt like he was seeing the shadow of Aina, who had just joined the Pab Club.
As for Aina herself...
"Puhaha! That was refreshing, let's go diving at Grand Blue together in a few days!"
"Sounds good~"
Looking at the girl who completely ignored the panties and was still cheerfully discussing diving routines with Nanaka-san, the Pab Club Three Stooges nodded in satisfaction simultaneously—
It seems Aina is already a mature member of the Pab Club, although it's unclear whether she has temporarily resigned herself or completely adapted.
"Emmm... then what's with the pencils on his head?"
"That's because if it were just clothes, everyone would be too sober to play. So in phase two, you can substitute things other than clothes for the clothes!"
"They're totally perverts..."
Having a new understanding of the Pab Club, Sakurako Tokishima thought Miyazawa Yuu would be angry if she said it so directly, but the latter actually nodded very seriously.
"Can't refute that!"
"..."
Feeling a headache, as if her brain was being eaten by stupidity! Sakurako Tokishima shrank her feet in sudden panic, trying to stay far away from the strange Pab Club boys.
Seeing this, Miyazawa Yuu shrugged with no remorse, raised his beer, and charged between Iori and Kohei. Since the two were only wearing underwear, they might as well start the second phase directly!
"...Unbelievable!"
"Right? From the moment I first saw them, I thought they were super interesting~"
Sitting next to Tokishima, Azusa Hamaoka smiled as she watched Yuu wildly chug his beer, her eyes filled with almost nothing but indulgence.
This was a feeling Sakurako Tokishima had never experienced, direct and scorching hot, without the slightest impurity, as pure as a flame that burns everything.
"Miss Hamaoka, how did you become interested in this kind of guy who likes to drink while naked?"
Lifting her head with an inexplicable annoyance in her heart, she always felt an unpleasant sensation like a fishbone in her throat the happier Miyazawa Yuu seemed. Sakurako Tokishima simply approached Azusa Hamaoka, attempting to persuade her to leave him.
Presumably, when that guy Yuu cries uncontrollably, the knot in her heart should be untied!
"About that..."
Staring intently at Sakurako Tokishima's small face, which was twisted into a knot with distress, Azusa Hamaoka suddenly smiled mischievously as if she had seen something fun, then tilted her head and spoke gently.
"Miss Tokishima, the reason you like Yuu seems to be similar to mine!"
"Huh? What did you say? You think I would like this kind of guy?!"
Her eyes snapped open, Sakurako Tokishima disgustedly glanced at Miyazawa Yuu, who was happily waving a pink bra, as if she was looking at some kind of unrecyclable trash.
This kind of scumbag whose head has big problems and has no money on him.
Even if his normal form is somewhat handsome, it's impossible for him to meet her lowest standard for a partner! Absolutely!
"Hmph~ Really? In my long unrequited love, I learned one thing: the mouth can lie, but the heartbeat and actions absolutely will not!"
Casually crossing her legs and resting her hands on the back of the sofa, the light from the KTV screen flashed in Azusa Hamaoka's eyes, and she said thoughtfully: "If you replace Yuu with Nojima, what would you do if you found out he was cross-dressing?"
"Nojima, the guy who harassed Yuu? Of course, I'd take a picture as evidence and post it on Line to expose him!"
"So heartless. What if he begged for mercy?"
"That kind of disposable trash, I wouldn't even bother to talk to him..."
Suddenly realizing the enormous difference between her actions and her words, Sakurako Tokishima shivered all over and scrambled away from Azusa Hamaoka with both her hands and feet.
"N-no way? How could I..."
"There are many ways to express liking. It might be being good to someone, or it might be being mean to someone. The most crucial thing is to attract attention and occupy their life."
Pointing to the sofa underneath her butt, Azusa Hamaoka turned her head and kindly reminded: "If it weren't for you all, Yuu would be having a co-ed mixed drink session with me right now. That's what's called occupying time."
"..."
Her mind was in chaos. If Miyazawa Yuu's mental attack was a simple heavy punch, Sakurako Tokishima could barely withstand a couple if she paid attention to the trajectory and prepared herself psychologically.
Now, Azusa Hamaoka's verbal attack was like sticking a wooden stick into her head, and the former was wildly stirring it like an old witch brewing a potion.
"I like... No! How could I like him!"
"In short, what I want to tell you is that if feelings are messed with, they might turn bad, but maintaining the status quo will only lead to tragedy!"
Having a deep understanding of Sakurako Tokishima's current state, Azusa Hamaoka also suffered heartache for a long time, wanting to do something, but the solidified emotions had firmly encased her like hard amber.
Fortunately, Yuu's appearance not only filled the emptiness in her heart but also brought Nanaka to her side.
With such merit, giving him a few more positions wouldn't be too much of a reward!
"...Wait a minute! What exactly do you want to do! Give that guy to me?"
"Absolutely not!"
Drinking the rest of the wine in her glass, Azusa Hamaoka stood up and gently refused with a shake of her head. "Yuu is absolutely mine, and I won't allow anyone else to interfere in this relationship! And you are a threat!"
"..."
"Start early, and then get rejected and end it early, so you can start a new journey with your head held high!"
The tsundere little devil in her persona took the lead. She put a finger to her mouth, signaling that these words must never be revealed.
"This is just a kind reminder to my own past struggles, nothing more!"
"Ugh..."
The stubbornness in her character was immediately provoked. Sakurako Tokishima bared her canine teeth and threatened fiercely: "You're being so kind, aren't you afraid of losing him?"
"Don't worry, Yuu-chan looks like he likes to play around, but he's a good kid and very thoughtful. I trust him!"
