"Then let's begin the punishment game, Iori," Airai reminded Iori with a smile, indicating it was time to accept her punishment.
Although Iori felt something was off, she didn't pay too much attention to it. Maybe she really suited blue.
"Beer or sparkling fruit wine?"
"No, I'm not drinking those today." Ailey, beaming, poured a glass of water. "I'm drinking this!"
"Eek! Iori, stop talking! That's not water, that's my cousin called industrial alcohol!"
"What the hell?! Even flammable oolong tea isn't worthy of being served? They're starting with a 'Water of Life' level trump card right off the bat, is this some kind of ruthless move, Ai Lai…"
Everyone stared at the ordinary-looking plain water in Ai Lai's hand, and even though they were mentally prepared, they still couldn't help but swallow hard in horror.
If you drink this stuff, won't it burn all the way from your throat to your stomach?
Hyouka World
“Oreki-san, I’m very curious…” Chitanda Airi tilted her head slightly, her amethyst-like eyes sparkling with pure curiosity in the dimly lit Classic Literature Club.
"Why does Iori-senpai seem so resistant? Doesn't he usually like drinking?"
"..." Houtarou Oreki lay on the table with his hands folded, maintaining his usual lazy posture as an energy-saving enthusiast.
Upon hearing Chitanda's question, he half-closed his eyes and reluctantly focused his gaze on the screen, his eyes carrying a clear-sighted understanding.
Why else?
Because 96% of that so-called "water" was pure alcohol, Chitanda-kun.
The thought flashed through Oreki's mind with perfect clarity: Iori-senpai definitely loves to drink...
That doesn't mean he loves industrial alcohol like "Water of Life," which pushes the limits of human life.
Oreki sighed almost inaudibly, as if even explaining was too energy-consuming. He slowly turned his head to look at Chitanda, who was full of curiosity, and spoke as conservedly as possible.
"Chitanda-kun, do you know approximately how much alcohol is used for combustion in an alcohol lamp?"
"Huh?!" This sudden question startled Chitanda for a moment, then she frowned slightly. "I remember... it's about... around 95%?"
"Hmm." Oreki nodded very slightly, his face still showing the same calm expression: "And now, the water in front of Iori-senpai is 96%!"
"Eh—!!" Chitanda suddenly jumped up from her chair, her usually curious eyes wide open as if she had witnessed something supernatural.
"R-Really?! Oreki-kun!"
That glass of water...alcohol...isn't that just like...drinking the fuel from an alcohol lamp raw?
After drinking this cup, even if Iori-senpai burps, it might just ignite like a flamethrower.
Chitanda's mind was instantly filled with these explosive associations, and her face flushed slightly from shock and imagination.
"Oreki-kun, I'm very curious."
"To be able to drink water that challenges the limits of life, Iori-senpai... is he... is he really human?"
Oreki Houtaro: "..."
You'd better not be curious, Chitanda-san.
I only have one bar of battery left, and if I don't conserve energy, it will really have to shut down.
"Water??" Iori reached out and took the glass of water, glanced down, and was instantly overwhelmed by the pungent smell of alcohol, so strong it made it hard to open her eyes.
“Hmm, water.” Ailey met his suspicious gaze without a trace of emotion, as if she were simply handing him a glass of ordinary, cold water.
"..." Iori looked down at the cold water in her hand again, remaining silent for a moment.
The next second, Iori pulled a silver lighter from her pocket, and just as she was about to light it with her fingertips, Ai Lai gently pressed her wrist down.
Although Ailey smiled, her voice was full of threat: "It really is just a glass of water!"
"Really?" Iori tilted her head back and took a large gulp, but the burning sensation on her tongue made her choke and abruptly turn her head away, spitting it all out beside her.
Ai Lai asked with concern, "Are you alright? Would you like some water?"
[Iori, her face contorted with rage, covered her mouth with her hand: "I'll drink water that can't be lit."]
"Hey, hey, hey, don't go too far with your demands, Iori! How can there be water that can't be lit in this club..."
"GrandBlue's first rule of the mystery: Remember to always carry a lighter with you, it's a very useful inspection device."
Everyone who saw this scene was already laughing so hard they were lying on the ground. The soul lighter inside PAB was never used to light cigarettes, but to light water.
In this society, the most effective way to distinguish whether the transparent liquid in front of you is water, alcohol, or the kind of life-giving water that can be used as fuel is to ignite it.
After all, no one can say for sure whether what you're handed the next second will be a thirst-quenching glass of water or a "depth charge" that can be ignited directly.
After receiving the "punishment," it was Iori's turn to set the questions, which could be anything related to impressions.
“So…” Iori’s lips slowly curled into a sinister smile: “Impression Game: The question is, who looks like they’ve been taking a long bath?”
[That's right, he did this on purpose, directly targeting girls, just to get revenge on Ai Lai!]
[The idea is good, but...]
"..." Iori stared blankly at the crowd all pointing at her: "Huh?"
"I...I feel like Iori is that kind of person."
Faced with the reasons given by everyone again, Iori blankly pointed to herself, visibly confused. Did she look like someone who had been in the shower for a long time?
"Here, let's play a punishment game." Ailai, beaming, handed her another glass of water.
[Iori calmly reached out and took it, accepting the punishment while her mind raced, trying to come up with a solution.] (Read thrilling novels at Feilu Novel Network!)
"..."
Seeing this, everyone could only twitch their lips with a black line on their faces. Let alone someone who takes a long time to shower, this guy is a tough guy who has been sleeping outside for two days since the start of the semester!
He's actually the least like someone who's taking a bath, right?
Baka and Test: Summoning World
"Sigh, Muda, Iori-senpai." Yuuji seemed to recall some unpleasant past events, his eyes filled with the melancholy of someone who had been through it all.
"My personal experience tells me that no matter how hard you struggle now, it's useless."
Back in Wen Yue Paradise, he was too lazy to bother with all those complicated issues, but in the end, he was still helplessly manipulated by others...
After all, from the referees to the contestants, everyone is on the opposing side—how can you play like that?!
And the game rules insist on deciding the winner by voting.
So no matter what question you ask, they'll still vote for you, Iori-senpai!!
At this point, Yuuji's gaze, sharp as a searchlight, suddenly turned to the two people in the corner of the classroom: "You agree, right, Hideyoshi, you silent pervert!"
Under Yuuji's intensely imposing gaze, Hideyoshi and the silent pervert pointed with perfect understanding to Akihisa, who was looking completely bewildered on the other side of the classroom.
"This was all done at Akihisa's instigation!"
The two seemed to instantly establish a guilty accomplice relationship. Without eye contact or verbal communication, they pointed to the same person with perfect understanding.
Seeing this, Yuuji also fell silent: "..."
Do these guys think I'm an idiot?
It's no wonder that Mingjiu can't command the two of you; you're clearly in cahoots!
"We need to avoid a three-game losing streak, even though this tactic is a bit underhanded... Let me snipe one of the people here!"
[Iori pondered to himself, a barely perceptible sinister smile appearing on his face. As for who to target, he already had someone in mind who was more suitable than (King No) for him.]
Suddenly, Iori straightened up, raised her voice, and shouted, "Impression Game, the question is: Who among us is the most like an otaku?!"
As soon as the words were spoken, like well-trained soldiers, everyone pointed their fingers at Iori in unison...
Why the hell?!
[Exasperated, Iori pointed at Kohei with a look of utter frustration: "Even with this guy around, why are people pointing at me? That's so weird!!"]
This time, even Ailey, who was blatantly lying, looked away somewhat guiltily: "It's not surprising at all."
"666, they're not even going to act anymore... If such a pointed question can point to Iori, there's bound to be something fishy going on!"
"Sigh, their despicable behavior is even worse than yours, Iori! It's obvious that you've been set up and targeted. Just surrender; it's all in vain no matter how much you struggle."
Those around them gasped in shock at the surreal scene before them belatedly realizing something crucial… fate…
Those two beastly seniors who are always fair are also on the opposing side!
How is this still playing?
Judging from this situation, even if Iori were to ask who among those present looked most like a woman, the answer would probably still be him...
Chapter 1332 "Water of Life" - Drinking it like water left everyone completely dumbfounded! Are you a god?!
Faced with Iori's accusations, Kohei, who thought he had hidden it well, curled his lips into a slightly roguish smile: "Don't let my current appearance fool you, I used to be a total shut-in."
Seeing that Ai Lai's reasoning was flimsy, Senior Azusa laughed and explained, "Because we're playing an impression game."
“So it can only be someone who is similar,” Senior Tokita chimed in, “not someone who is exactly like them.”
Before the other person could react, Ai Lai smiled and handed over a glass of water: "Here, let's play a punishment game."
Iori gritted her teeth and accepted the punishment. What her seniors said made some sense, but something still felt off: "Is that how it is...?!"
"Iori, promise me you won't believe anything they say from now on. The wisdom of our elders is stronger than the water of life, and it's also very potent!"
