It wasn't what he expected.
When the comfort lamp is lit, he will touch it. At that moment, he only feels warmth and a faint joy, and has no other thoughts.
But now, even though the actions are almost identical, he shamefully reacted to Akane, and he couldn't remain calm no matter what.
Kamiya Yu didn't know if it was because Akane was more attractive to the opposite sex than Akane, or because he had just hugged Shoko yesterday and his body was in a state where he was too easily aroused.
But he knew he had to stop immediately, or he would be letting Xiangzi down.
"I'm all washed up!"
A voice came from the bathroom to the living room, then to the balcony, stopping Akane from stopping Yu's hands from leaving.
The two people, who were startled at the same time, almost reflexively took a few steps in different directions and separated, their hearts pounding.
Akane's face turned a little red, and she stammered: ⑨岭「*泤↓釟』∴肆∧∶⑵↑=啾○¨錂牾 stayed on the balcony to get some fresh air and pass the time.
Kamiya Yu hurriedly turned back, grabbed his clothes, and quickly passed by Masuzu, who had come to the living room to dry her hair, almost running into the bathroom.
"Eh……?"
Natsukawa Masaki tilted her head, revealing a cute, puzzled expression. She blinked, then seemed to realize something, pursed her lips, said nothing, went back to sit quietly on the sofa, and called out to the balcony without any hesitation:
"Akane, help me blow-dry my hair~"
"Okay, here we come!"
Slightly nervous, and trying to conceal something, Akane's reply was completely devoid of any sobbing or hoarseness.
It was filled only with the relief of surviving a disaster.
That's fine.
Even if there are secrets... as long as they are not revealed or not stated directly, she can still pretend that nothing happened.
As long as Yu doesn't bring those things out into the open, she can accept it.
The band can continue, and she and You can continue their peaceful relationship.
Until she truly became one of the people You truly cared about deep down.
At that point, none of it will matter.
Until then, this is fine.
Overjoyed, Akane, who was being bossed around by Masuzu, couldn't help but steal a glance at the bathroom.
"Please, please keep it up, Yu..."
……
As a transmigrator, Kamiya Yu doesn't dislike taking baths, but he doesn't particularly love them either. He doesn't take baths often, and for short periods of time.
But this time, he sat in the bathtub, wanting to soak for a very long time.
He was trying to cool down his restless and uncontrollable desires and instincts ever since his long-awaited reunion with Xiangzi.
To his disappointment, the longer he soaked in the warm, steamy bathroom, the more energetic he became in a certain area, no matter what he did, he was incredibly energetic.
Staying here will only lead to the opposite of what we want.
With a wry smile, Kamiya Yu could only get up, put on his clothes, and leave the bathroom.
He could fully foresee that tonight would be full of challenges for him... This time, he was truly ruined by Su Shi.
At that moment, Yu Kamiya's heart wavered slightly.
Compared to Su Shi, who had forced him into this awkward situation, Akane, who had let him go time and time again and even made amends for him, seemed more like his lifelong friend and the partner from his C-group days who was worth remembering so much.
What an irony.
"……Ugh."
However, the wavering only lasted for half a second, and in the end, Su Shi remained firmly more important than Akane.
……
……
P.S.: I'm begging for recommendation votes, monthly tickets, and even sword strikes! I'll do anything, please! If possible, please recommend this book to others. Thank you so much!
Furthermore, there is absolutely no possibility of any yuri or tangled wings in the process of layering armor. The descriptions of the girls' interactions and feelings are only to lay the groundwork for future consequences. After all, if they are not familiar with each other, the harem simply cannot be established.
Show me some results, meow; give me some recommendations, thank you, meow.
Volume 1: Chapter 93, Section 92. Awakening Yu, the Form of Friendship Release
The distance from the bathroom to the living room wasn't long, but it felt like it took Kamiya Yu an incredibly long time to walk there.
He kept thinking.
Akane's sudden warning, like the tolling of a morning bell, reverberated in his mind again and again.
Indeed, if Akane has already discovered something, then how could Masuzu, who is no less capable than her, not notice anything at all? Although things are calm now, if this continues, it's only a matter of time before she becomes the second Akane.
However, Masuzu is far from possessing Akane's great and inclusive personality.
Even without mentioning Ryou, although she hasn't shown any special abilities yet, judging from all aspects, Yukino Yukinoshita is probably a smart person, at least more perceptive than Riki.
In this situation, if he doesn't make any changes, every step he takes will be like walking on the edge of an abyss, difficult and precarious. It's entirely foreseeable that the band will suddenly explode at any moment.
He really underestimated these girls.
You overestimate yourself too much.
"We need to make it look more convincing..."
The advice and suggestions from Akane, a professional actor, seemed to be easy for him to put into practice.
Because from the very beginning, Yu Kamiya knew exactly what kind of approach would be flawless.
Only facts can eliminate all falsehoods.
He doesn't need to learn or pretend to act out what it means to treat band members with a genuine heart; he can do it without thinking and immediately.
All you need to do is apply exactly how you treated Lixi and Su Shi back in Crychic, without any changes, and there will absolutely be no loopholes, and everything will be fine.
"..."
The moment he thought of this only best course of action, a weak struggle flashed in Kamiya Yu's dark eyes. No matter how he tried to find an excuse, if he really did this, then he might actually make some of the things that Suze had accused him into fact.
This should be considered half a betrayal of Crychic!
But now that things have come to this, after much thought, it seems there's no point in hesitating anymore.
Actually, he made the biggest mistake from the very beginning, didn't he? He gave Xiangzi's keyboard to Akane right from the start... Compared to this greatest betrayal of Xiangzi, what he was about to do next seemed insignificant.
We've already paid so much, such a heavy price.
Even just considering the sunk costs so far, he has no other option left.
Go ahead and try it. If it really doesn't work, then try something else.
After mentally preparing himself, Kamiya Yu, his emotions running high and his feelings extremely complicated, finally took the last step and returned to the living room.
Akane, who had just dried Masuzu's hair, heard the noise, turned around and glanced at him. Seeing the resolute look in his eyes, she felt relieved...
Although she confronted You, it was only out of necessity, because she was worried that if things continued like this, You wouldn't be able to hide it anymore. Otherwise, in her opinion, she would never have wanted to break the ice and would have preferred to slowly work things out.
To subtly influence and change the order of importance of the three girls on her side, as well as Li Xi's exes on her side, in You's heart.
From the moment she was on the balcony until now, Akane has been in a state of extreme anxiety, her hand holding the hairdryer trembling slightly.
She was really scared.
Ultimately, did the three people on their side have the right, or were they worth Yu changing her approach to try and retain them? She had absolutely no confidence in her heart.
After all, when Masuzu exploded back then, Yu was ready to throw caution to the wind and completely expel her and Masuzu together.
If it weren't for the fact that tonight was truly unavoidable, Akane, who clearly remembered the scene when the band almost broke up last time, would never have spoken.
Normally it's fine. Although the four of them are together, the serious matter of practicing the band takes everyone's attention, so no matter how many flaws there are, Yuu won't be associated with Masuzu and Yukino too much.
After all, his acting skills are only inferior to those of a professional actor like myself; it's not like he's completely useless.
Unfortunately, Nagasaki Motoyo created this situation by relying on the King's Great Adventure.
The four of them stayed together tonight. Without anything else happening, both Ryou and Yukino became very sensitive in this situation where they were all in the same room with only the four of them, but without the sound of any musical instruments.
If You shows even the slightest sign of trouble, the two of them can easily seize the opportunity to grab her.
Although he might not realize it that very night, once such a crack appears, the possibility of Yu being exposed in the days to come is almost 100%.
It was Nagasaki Motoyo, who was so selfish and greedy that she only thought about herself, that forced Kurokawa Akane to take such a risky step.
Fortunately, it seems she made the right bet... Compared to when they weren't very familiar with each other, and even though she's still a bit behind Riki and the others, at least she and Ryou are no longer completely outsiders to Yu who can be abandoned at any time and who don't care about anything.
Even the lightest weight still exists.
The breakthrough from zero to one has already made her feel very satisfied.
Sensing this subtle change, perhaps even one that Yu herself hadn't realized, Akane couldn't help but break into a joyful smile. Without even saying goodbye, she hurried off to the bathroom.
She was afraid that if she spoke to You now, the tone of her voice would reveal her feelings, which were still uncertain.
……
Kamiya Yu did not observe Akane's condition.
As soon as he entered the living room, he saw that Zhenliang looked a bit sickly, which was a sign that she was starving.
Today's training was already intense and physically demanding. The truth or dare game, plus the need to go out again after returning home to come here to Yukino, further depleted my energy. It was also very late, so I ate more slowly than usual.
This is Yukino's first time hosting friends, and in order not to disappoint them, she has prepared a special meal. She is still preparing the last two delicious dishes, so the meal has not yet been served.
Looking at the sickly-looking Shizuka lying on the sofa, Kamiya paused for a moment.
Based on his previous approach to the "tool people" band, he should have ignored them at this point and had no interest in intervening whatsoever.
But if we follow what everyone else does with Crychic...
"...Want to come together?" Kamiya Yu suddenly asked, reaching out his hand to the beautiful silver-haired girl.
Natsukawa Masaki blinked, a little confused: "Eh, what?"
When asked about her question, Kamiya Yu avoided the topic and did not give a direct answer. Instead, he said with a touch of arrogance, "Let me make this clear beforehand. I only came with you because I saw that you were hungry, so that you wouldn't be too embarrassed to be alone. It's not because I was hungry and wanted to sneak a bite."
⑨ Of course, he wasn't that arrogant.
