The Azure Sea is not a warrior with ripped clothes.

"No, no, no! I think it might be even worse."

Chisa and Kohei were puzzled, but Hamaoka Azusa's personality was somewhat eccentric, so they didn't suspect anything else.

But Miyazawa Yu was different. As a rival in love, he guessed what their so-called common interests were without much thought.

His expression instantly turned contemptuous. Following Iori's homosexuality, the Pab Club has welcomed another heavyweight.

Although he doesn't care that the girl he likes is a lesbian, he can't accept being a necromancer!

"Hmm! You're really good at this! As long as you're charming enough, nothing else matters!"

"……Well!"

Shaking his head frantically, Kitahara Iori was unable to escape because Hamaoka Azusa had pinned his legs down, and he dared not ask for help.

He could only stare wide-eyed and frantically try to signal to his accomplices, but unfortunately, those two bastards were still arguing endlessly.

"The allure of diving is indeed captivating, but are you overthinking it, Yu?"

"What a naive idea! Seriously, aren't lesbians more attractive to Kohei than diving?"

"Indeed... as long as I'm charming enough, I'm open to all kinds of anime. It's really a dilemma to see what kind of shared hobby we have."

"Woo!!!"

With a devastating, high-pitched cry, Kitahara Iori shed two streams of bloody tears, signaling to the two scoundrels to stop thinking about it and focus on saving the person!

Chapter 41 The price of justice is burning at the stake!

"Sorry, Azusa-senpai, we need to find Iori for a bit, so we'll have to borrow her for now!"

"Oh! Sure!"

Hearing Iori's desperate cries, Miyazawa Yu realized that his plan to get Chisa drunk was not yet complete.

Furthermore, it's completely pointless to discuss Hamaoka Azusa's hobbies with Kohei, who is so far removed from her information!

Having figured all this out, he quickly went forward, hooked Iori's neck, and dragged her away to a place where Chisa couldn't hear him.

"Hey, Kitahara, now's not the time for idle chatter."

"Who gives you the right to talk to me like that! Who was it that ignored my cries for help?!"

Grinning, Kitahara Iori grabbed Miyazawa Yu's shoulder and tightened her grip. The two immediately locked horns, their foreheads pressed together in a fierce struggle.

However, these things, as seen by Azusa Hamaoka, took on a different flavor.

"Hmph~ So this is the type Iori likes?"

Sitting cross-legged in the chair, Hamaoka Azusa had a mischievous cat-like grin on her face, as if she had discovered something interesting.

"Ahem! Iori, stop fighting amongst yourselves. You don't want to embarrass yourself by going on stage in a JK uniform, do you?"

"Tch, I get it. Let's focus on implementing the battle plan first, and settle things at the party tonight!"

After a friendly and harmonious exchange, Kitahara Iori reluctantly let go of Miyazawa Yu's shoulder.

Completely bewildered, having no idea what was wrong with Iori and Yu, Kotegawa Chisa walked over and asked in confusion, "What's wrong with you two?"

"Ah! It's nothing, they're just... arguing about who's the main character at tonight's party!"

He stood in front of Chisa to cover for the two bastards behind him.

Kohei Imamura turned his head and winked. Yu Miyazawa immediately understood and apologized, feigning embarrassment, "Yes, yes! I'm sorry to have worried Chisa. I'll go get you a drink to make up for it!"

"Ah, actually..."

Just as she was about to raise her hand to say that she hadn't finished her drink, Miyazawa Yu had already dragged Kitahara Iori into the store in a flurry of activity. Kotegawa Chisa could only stand there and mutter to herself, "One or two of them, why are they all so strange?"

Inside the shop, with no intention of taking shortcuts, Miyazawa Yu placed six paper cups on the table and said in a deep voice, "Although I really don't want to use this method..."

"But now the only option is to make everyone's drinks special oolong tea!"

"Yes! That's the only way!"

Prepared for the worst, Kitahara Iori suppressed her pounding heart and looked up at Kohei, who had just followed her in.

After the latter nodded with a resolute look in his eyes, he poured vodka into all the paper cups with a death wish.

Miyazawa Yu followed closely behind, waving his whiskey to color all the liquor in the glass, and six cups of fresh oolong tea were ready!

"Here! Oolong tea!"

"Please use!"

The sliding tackle stopped in front of Chisa, and the three of them, including Miyazawa Yu, struck cool poses, hoping that the other party would take the wine from their hands.

"I already told you I haven't finished drinking..."

Reluctantly showing her cup, Kotegawa Chisa shook her head, refusing Yu's offer for the second time.

Hamaoka Azusa leaned over and added, "I still have some too!"

"..."

Frozen in place, the three stared at each other, and Miyazawa Yu saw determination in the eyes of the other two bastards! Since that was the case, he wouldn't back down either!

"Come again, come again!"

"It's not over yet!"

At the same time, they tilted their heads back and gulped down the drinks in their hands. The three of them turned around and rushed into the store with ferocious expressions. Not long after, they reappeared in front of Chisa with a glass of shaved ice mixed with whiskey.

"When you think of the ocean, you think of shaved ice!!!"

Please accept our heartfelt gift!

"The syrup is also specially made!"

She had completely realized that something was wrong. Yu and Iori usually just hung out together at home, but today they were being so attentive to her. There was definitely something fishy going on.

Her expression turned suspicious, and cold sweat beaded on Kotegawa Chisa's forehead as she firmly refused, "I can't eat anymore!"

"You can eat by yourselves."

Having also discovered the newcomers' intentions, Hamaoka Azusa casually delivered the fatal blow.

"..."

Forced to finish all the shaved ice, Miyazawa Yu seemed to hear a phantom ringing of a ringtone in his ears. His vision went black, and he staggered to the ground, unable to get up again along with Iori and Kohei.

"What have you guys been doing since just now?"

To her surprise, they simply lay down. Kotegawa Chisa was utterly speechless. She was now completely certain that her premonition was correct; these people definitely had something on their minds!

"So...may I ask you a question?"

"it is good……"

"what happened?"

Having seen through everything, Hamaoka Azusa, biting her empty beer can, teased mischievously, "You guys want to get Chisa drunk, don't you?"

"Ugh?"

"No! Don't talk nonsense! It's too much to falsely accuse someone like that!"

Startled awake from her deathbed, Miyazawa Yu realized her little scheme had been exposed and hurriedly got up to refute it.

However, seeing his guilty expression, Kotegawa Chisa immediately believed most of what Azusa-senpai said and hurriedly hid behind her, cautiously peeking out half of her head to observe secretly.

"Oh dear~ you're really bad at lying!"

With a smile playing on his lips, Hamaoka Azusa put his hands behind his head and proudly declared with an arrogant, wicked air, "If you want to get a girl drunk and do whatever you want, I have at least nine ways to do it!"

"Huh--!"

"Oh? Really? Tell me about it!"

With a serious expression, Miyazawa Yu teleported in front of Hamaoka Azusa, adopting a kneeling posture of devoutly seeking instruction, which made the latter laugh so hard that she slapped her thigh.

"Hahaha! Yu, didn't you say you didn't want to get Chisa drunk? What are you doing?"

"Excuse my frankness, but I admire Nanaka-nee, so my purpose in seeking your advice is not the same as getting Chisa drunk. That's for sure!"

"Oh dear! He made a dangerous statement with such a serious expression!"

Realizing that Miyazawa Yu had completely fallen for her, Kitahara Iori gritted her teeth and muttered a complaint before hunching up and staring intently at Kotegawa Chisa with a terrifying gaze.

"Well, it's come to this point and there's no way to hide it anymore, so I'll stop pretending!"

"That's right! Stop trying to play dirty tricks... Chisa!"

"What, what?"

Feeling as if she were being watched by a wild beast, Chisa Kotegawa turned around, ready to run away at any moment.

"Please, go participate in a beauty pageant!!!"

Please!!!

The instant striptease and the 120-degree deep bow proved that even when pushed to their limits, Iori and Kohei still didn't have the courage to lay a hand on Chisa.

"do not want!"

Chisa Kotegawa clearly refused. She already knew that there was a "Miss Beauty Contest" at the Izu Spring Festival and was wondering why her senior hadn't come looking for her and had instead only taken three other unlucky guys hostage.

It turned out that he was waiting for her here!

"Iori will kneel down and kowtow to you! Please!"

Unwilling to accept defeat, Kohei Imamura pointed at Iori, hoping to use her body to win back Chisa's heart.

But this only made Chisa despise the two of them even more, and she even spoke with a dark face and a tone of condemnation towards trash.

Can I step on it?

Please at least answer "participate" or "not participate"!

"That's right! As long as you agree, you can keep stepping on Iori for as long as you want!"

I already said I wasn't going!

Enraged by the shameless scoundrel, Hamaoka Azusa poked Miyazawa Yu's shoulder speechlessly and asked, "So, what exactly do you want?"

"Sorry! I'm not very familiar with those two idiots, so I don't know! Besides, I personally despise the despicable act of forcing a girl!"

Raising his head with a righteous expression, Miyazawa Yu saw that there was no hope of persuading Chisa, so he cut ties with Kitahara Iori without hesitation, trying to protect his reputation.

"Hey! You seem to be the mastermind, don't you?"

"Don't push all the responsibility onto us!"

Unexpectedly, the betrayal came so quickly. Miyazawa Yu was tackled by two angry half-O men as soon as he finished speaking.

Even though he was covered in sweat, he still loudly clarified through his pulled-open mouth, "The idea was Iori's! I'm an innocent victim too! Feed me peanuts! Mmm..."

"You're speaking up for me, aren't you! Kōhei, the wine maker."

"Understood! The traitor must be punished as he deserves!"

"Oh no! Someone's going to die!"

Seeing Miyazawa Yu drenched in the Water of Life, howling and struggling as he was about to be set ablaze by Iori, Hamaoka Azusa sighed softly and waved, deciding to lend these idiots a hand.

"Alright~ Release Yu now. If you're asking for a favor, you can't hold a fire festival!"

"what?"

"Is that so?"

"Damn it! Isn't this common sense, you scoundrel!"

The lighter stopped five centimeters in front of him, and Miyazawa Yu quickly took a deep breath and blew on it, trying to extinguish the flame.

However, due to excessive drinking, the wind he blew out did not extinguish the flames; instead, it burst into a burning cloud of air like an acrobatic act.

Startled, he quickly shut up and could only secretly try to take off his coat to break the seal. Then, he used his physical strength to annihilate the two bastards who wanted his BBQ!

Chapter 42 has an OK sign!

"In short, we need to explain the reasons clearly first so that Chisa can make a judgment!"

Holding up a finger and waving it, Hamaoka Azusa reminded him in a tone that suggested he was hopeless, "If you have your reasons, Chisa certainly won't stand idly by."

"..."

Cold sweat broke out on their faces. Kitahara Iori and Imamura Kohei felt that Azusa's teachings made a lot of sense, but in order to avoid participating in the "male organ" contest, they wanted to trick Chisa into participating in the beauty pageant.
