Chapter 164 I'll Marry You Even If I Divorce You~
People say that the world is governed by the law of conservation of mass, but not everything can be exchanged for something of equal value.

For example, women have many questions, but they may not be able to get answers to all of them.

In the dim light, looking at the young woman opposite him, Tsukino Gen's expression wasn't too troubled.

"I never expected Officer Morita to be such a romantic."

Chinatsu Morita narrowed her eyes slightly as she looked at Gen Tsukino. "Is it only at times like this that you call me 'police officer' to mock me?"

"How could that be? I hate sarcastic remarks the most."

The boy shook his head slightly, clearly showing off.

He laughed at the beautiful woman in front of him, "I've noticed that you can be really childish sometimes."

"I'm just a high school student, and of course I'm naive in front of you, officer. I'll need your guidance on many things."

"Really? I've booked a room at a nearby hotel, so I can give you some pointers tonight."

"?"

Gen Tsukino didn't answer. He poured himself a full glass and drank it down in one gulp.

This attitude was certainly not tacit agreement, and just as Chinatsu Morita was about to say something, suddenly, the darkness overhead was dispelled by light, and not only their side, but the lights throughout the entire bar seemed to brighten. The singer performing on stage had stopped singing.

At this point, staff members began to go up on stage and move the musical instruments and some miscellaneous items off, while also moving in several tables, seemingly making careful arrangements.

Next, a middle-aged man in a suit and tie, dressed very formally and sporting a classic mustache, walked onto the stage with a microphone.

He smiled broadly under the lights.

"Welcome everyone to Life Bar's third anniversary celebration!"

"To thank all our new and returning customers, whether you've been a regular customer or are new here today, whether you're from Japan or are international tourists, you're welcome to join our anniversary celebration!"

"The prizes are generous, and the process is fair and transparent! All you need to do is scan the QR code on the screen and fill in your seat number to register. You have five minutes! The reward will be issued immediately upon completion of the challenge. There are no conditions for claiming it, no membership fees or top-ups required!"

"Start now!"

"."

The entire bar erupted in excitement because of the man's few words.

Suddenly it became lively and noisy, things that originally had nothing to do with Tsukino Gen. He didn't care about the prize, nor was he competitive. But...
What are you scanning with your phone?

Gen Tsukino saw Chinatsu Morita and immediately picked up his phone to scan the QR code on the screen.

Chinatsu Morita waved her phone at Gen Tsukino, "Scan the QR code to register."

As she spoke, she filled in the seat number.

Gen Tsukino thought for a moment, then tentatively asked, "Shouldn't you be the one to take on the challenge?"

Chinatsu Morita smiled charmingly and alluringly.

"What are you thinking? This kind of thing is of course for boys to do."

"Are you crazy? I didn't even say I wanted to participate, and you still signed me up?"

"I'm not a good drinker~ but I believe that you, Tsukino-kun, are the best, the most outstanding, and the toughest man!"

"The rest is true, but I have no interest in participating in such activities. You can go by yourself."

Gen Tsukino tries to remain cold and ruthless.

But Morita Chinatsu stood up and then sat down, came to the boy's side, and grabbed his arm.

She looked at Tsukino Gen with a pitiful expression, "You won't even grant my birthday wish?"

Tsukino Gen looked at the other person suspiciously, "Is today your birthday?"

"I could be the one."

She nodded vigorously.

Tsukino shook his hand.

She was as fragile as a piece of paper and was almost flung away by Tsukino Gen. Fortunately, the boy grabbed her wrist and pulled her back, preventing the woman from completing the strange plot she had designed.

Just this once~

She even started acting cute.

Gen Tsukino glared at the other person, "I can't guarantee I won't slack off, so don't expect me to win you any rewards."

"It's okay~ You look cool even when you're just giving up."

Looking at the woman's playful smile so close to him, Gen Tsukino felt that she wasn't really suited to be a police officer; she should be an actress, where she could bring out her personality to the fullest.

Of course, it also depends on who you meet.

If it were Mochizuki Miki, it would be a bit difficult, after all, she is an actress among actresses.

Seeing Tsukino Gen keep rolling his eyes, Morita Chinatsu couldn't help but laugh. However, she still held his hand tightly, which made the boy say irritably, "Let go of my hand, I'm not going to run down like this right now."

Chinatsu Morita then slowly loosened her grip.

"It's not that I don't trust you."

"what is that?"

"Your hands feel comfortable to touch."

"Screw you."

At this moment, the waiter walked over.

"Excuse me, is this table the one that has registered?"

They're obviously here to count the number of participants.

"Yes!"

"Who is it?"

"My husband!"

"."

The waiter looked at Chinatsu Morita in astonishment, then at Gen Tsukino, as if his brain had suddenly shut down.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with my husband?"

"I asked Morita Chinatsu curiously."

The young waitress quickly shook her head. "No, it's just that your husband smells so good. He's so young, it surprised me. What's your name, sir?"

Gen Tsukino replied irritably, "I'm not her husband, just call me Tsukino."

"Oh"

The waitress didn't know what kind of play the two were doing, but it was definitely not ordinary, and it wasn't her business, so she honestly recorded it.

Just as I was about to turn and leave, I heard Chinatsu Morita say in a low voice.

"He's not her husband yet, because he hasn't divorced his wife."

"."

The waitress wanted to stay and listen more carefully, but she was forced to quicken her pace.

Good heavens, the mistress has taken over!
"Is it fun?"

Gen Tsukino looked at the young woman next to him who was almost curled up like a snail from laughing so hard.

After laughing for a while, he came over to comfort the boy and said, "Sorry, sorry~ I just let my true nature come out when I'm with you, and I always find the little skits very interesting."

Gen Tsukino naturally wouldn't stoop to the level of this woman.

Soon, a waiter came to inform Tsukino Gen to go to the stage.

Since he had already agreed, there was no reason to refuse. Tsukino Gen wasn't someone who liked to go back on his word; he was just someone who found it hard to accept arrangements. When he arrived at the stage, he found that there were quite a few people participating, a good dozen or so.

With such a large number of people, it would be difficult to organize any effective and fun activities, so the store manager quickly made a decision.

"We are very grateful for everyone's enthusiasm and the large number of participants. So for the first round, we'll use a very simple method: a 1L cup of 'deep water bomb,' and the eight people who drink it the fastest will advance to the next round!"

Soon, 1L beer mugs, prepared according to the number of people, appeared on several tables.

The waiter poured roughly the same amount of beer in each glass, then placed a small glass of vodka next to it.

The meaning is simple: once the manager announces the start, the vodka must be submerged in nearly 1 liter of beer and then quickly finished. The first eight people to finish and put down their glasses advance to the next round.

A waiter is already recording the anniversary celebration on video.

They quickly arranged for each participant to stand in front of a special wine glass, ready to begin.

Gen Tsukino saw Chinatsu Morita approaching. The woman even raised two thumbs up and pressed them against her cheeks, mouthing encouragement to Gen Tsukino.

Putting everything else aside, the encouragement from Japanese girls is truly unparalleled.

Regardless of age, they all seem to know exactly how to arouse a man's fighting spirit.

The people on both sides seemed eager to try, like professional athletes preparing at the starting line, as if they wanted to make the most of every millisecond.

Gen Tsukino even stood behind the beer bar with one hand in his pocket until the manager excitedly raised his arm.

"I will watch very carefully, and I ask everyone to be our judges. Okay, now."

"start!"

“Gurgle!!”

In an instant, it seemed as if a strong wind had swept across the stage. Different people were chugging their vodka-laced beers in different ways.

Some people got so excited that they used excessive force and splashed all the beer on their faces.

Some were too nervous and unprepared; after the first bite, their throats hadn't even had a chance to fully absorb it.

"puff!"

It instantly transformed into a fountain, spraying everything out.

However, most of them are completed on the spot.

When Tsukino Gen put it down with apparent ease, a glance around revealed that many people were still struggling for the last bit.

"Alright! Thank you all for participating. The winner has now been decided. I think I can see it very clearly."

The store manager smiled and pulled over each of the fastest finishers.

Seemingly in order of speed, around the sixth one, he looked at Tsukino Gen.

"And this handsome young man! He's so young, let me interview him. Isn't he Mr. Tsukino from table 4?"

When the store manager pulled Tsukino Gen aside, more people in the audience began to notice the boy's presence.

"Holy crap. Where did this celebrity come from? Or is he an idol?"

"He doesn't look like a gigolo at all, but he's fucking handsome!"

"Handsome! Why don't you skip the drinks? Let me show you some fun things to do!"

The boldness of women in bars is beyond imagination. The goddess you see as virtuous and self-disciplined might actually be having a wild time in such a place.

Gen Tsukino ignored the jeering from below.

"um, yes."

Short answer.

"Is this your first time at Life Bar?"

"That's it."

"You're lucky to have caught our store's anniversary celebration on your first try. I wish you a great performance."

"Thank you."

The interview was brief, and the store manager didn't actually interview every single one of the top eight. It was clearly targeted; for example, a handsome guy like Tsukino Gen was worth interviewing. They used him to inform all the customers.

If you're willing to come, you'll always have a chance to meet this phenomenal handsome guy.

You may not get to meet the celebrities on TV, but you'll have plenty of opportunities to meet handsome guys like this!
After separating the eight people, the stage became much quieter.

Four tables were also prepared.

It is clear that a two-on-two format will be adopted.

The manager quickly brought over a lottery bucket. "Our rules for this round are simple too. After all, it's drinking, and anything too complicated isn't fun. So this time it's two 1L draft beers, no more deep-sea bombs. Two against one, whoever is fastest wins!"

"Your numbers will be determined by the order in which you finish drinking. There are eight numbers here, and the first person to draw goes first. Whoever draws a number will be your opponent!"

It seems simple.

But in reality, they had already drunk 1L before, and two more cups would make it 3L, which is quite a lot for an average person.

So when the remaining eight people saw the waiter bring out the wine glasses, few of them looked relaxed. Tsukino Gen looked over.

The first person to finish drinking was Brother Ni, who was black from head to toe, except for his teeth and eyes, everything was the same color.

He immediately drew the fourth-ranked guy and turned to show the man his dazzlingly white teeth.

Wow, it turns out that the whitest thing about Black people isn't just their owners, but also their teeth.

As soon as he finished drawing his first ticket, Tsukino Gen sensed something strange. It wasn't the rules, but the gazes of those around him. They seemed to be looking at him intentionally or unintentionally.

It seems as if they are trying to determine what number they are.

Until the third guy in line drew number six.

The store manager smiled and said, "You drew number six! If I remember correctly, it's this handsome guy!"

The moment the man who drew number six looked at Tsukino Gen, he clenched his fist and exclaimed, "Great!"

When he shouted that in front of everyone, he realized that he seemed to lack emotional intelligence and that his intentions were too obvious.

The store manager couldn't help but laugh. "What's wrong? Why are you so excited? Do you think number six is ​​an easy target?"

Number Three immediately smiled sheepishly at Tsukino Gen, "I didn't mean that at all. I just think it's very enjoyable to watch someone like that fight! I absolutely didn't mean to look down on anyone, absolutely not!"

Continuous repetition can easily lead to misunderstandings, and it's unclear whether Tsukino Gen is deliberately putting pressure on himself.

When the store manager walked over and asked the boy with a smile, "What do you want to say about number three's explanation?"

Gen Tsukino shrugged. "I don't care who draws it, I won't lose anyway."

"Ouch!"

"So cool! I'm totally blown away!"

"Go for it, handsome!!"

Because of Tsukino Gen's very casual remark about "showing off," there was an exaggerated reaction from the audience.

However, this seemed to provoke the dissatisfaction of the third female companion, and in order to cheer up her boyfriend, she immediately raised her arms and shouted.

"Go Otani! Honey, you're the best~"

The scene suddenly became lively, and the store manager, who was quite adept at handling things, immediately spoke up upon seeing this.

"There are also family members supporting us, so what about the family members of number six here!"

Chinatsu Morita, who was already laughing so hard at Tsukino Gen's smugness that she was about to take out her phone to record it, heard this.

He immediately stepped forward, put his hands to his lips in a megaphone gesture, and shouted towards the stage.

"Go for it, Tsukino-kun! If you win, I'll divorce my husband and marry you~"

Tsukino Gen:
Store Manager: ???
People around: (°ロ°)!?
