The Azure Sea is not a warrior with ripped clothes.

He never intended to bring the girl back, and now he's lost face for no reason, practically losing everything! How is he supposed to get revenge?!

"Hey! Yu, think about it, as long as even one of us succeeds, the social events won't stop. Isn't that exciting!"

"...Indeed, but..."

"No buts! Now is the time to witness our friendship!"

With Iori pressing down on his shoulder, Miyazawa Yu closed his eyes and pondered for a moment before reluctantly ordering, "Mind your image! If you embarrass me again, I'll kill you all!"

"no problem!"

"Oh!"

Ten minutes later, the situation became much clearer—

Kitahara Iori shamelessly took the seat opposite Iida Kanako, while the remaining three bastards huddled together with gloomy faces.

"Haha~ Your friends are all so interesting, Yu!"

"Sorry, I'm not familiar with them..."

Listening to the teasing around him, Miyazawa Yu felt incredibly stupid for actually believing Iori's nonsense.

Compared to being attacked by the crowd, he felt even more ashamed of his embarrassing friend who liked to sneak away, to the point that he didn't dare to look Mizuki Natsuyo in the eye.

"Well, don't say that. I genuinely think these kids are very interesting, much better than those wicked people who have ulterior motives but don't admit it!"

He was clearly embarrassed, but Mizuki Natsuyo waved her hand to indicate that she meant no harm; on the contrary, she was genuinely interested in Iori and the others.

Where did she get such a thick skin? If it were three pounds for ten yuan, she would definitely buy a new one for everyone around her!

"Thank you for the compliment, but they're just idiots."

Smoothing her furrowed brow, Miyazawa Yu asked with a troubled expression, "Miss Natsuyo, don't you mind that my sister is being targeted by a pervert?"

"Hmm...do they even have the guts?"

"I can be 100% certain that's not true!"

"That'll work then~"

With her hands behind her back, Natsumi Mizuki said with a gentle smile, "It feels like watching a performance, it's so interesting, it really relaxes my mind and body!"

"Is that so?"

Tilting his head in confusion, Miyazawa Yu didn't quite understand why these celebrities liked to hang out with idiots. Was it because it made things easier?

On second thought, I realized that I'm the same way.

She said she joined the Pab Club because of Nanaka-nee, but in less than a month she was transformed into her shape from the inside out.

"Oh! Look, it seems your friend is about to fight back!"

Just as Miyazawa Yu was pondering what the advantages of the Pab Club were, Mizuki Natsuyo saw something interesting and immediately tugged at his shoulders to remind him.

"Hmm? Was it Kohei who made the move? He knows Iori very well; Iori is probably in trouble."

As expected, Kohei Imamura sat down next to Iori Kitahara with a wicked smile, and his first words were: "Yo, Iori! How have things been going with your girlfriend these past few days?"

"Ahhh~ that's heretical! They actually broke the taboo of the matchmaking event without batting an eye!"

Seeing Kitahara Iori's pupils shrink to a point in an instant, Miyazawa Yu propped his head up and explained to Mizuki Natsuyo with a bored expression.

"Kohei wants to completely cut off Iori's chances of picking up girls by bringing up the taboo topic of girlfriends, but it will also ruin the atmosphere of the matchmaking event..."

"Huh? Wouldn't that benefit him too?"

"That's very true! But..."

Miyazawa Yu's eyes turned sorrowful, and she covered her face with her hands, speaking in a muffled voice, "For those bastards, their own failure is certainly terrible, but their friends' success is even more heartbreaking!"

"Ugh—it's a lose-lose situation!"

Unexpectedly, there were such people among her fans. Mizuki Natsuyo then pointed at Yamamoto and Nojima.

"Aren't you guys a team? Then they'll help Kitahara, right?"

"Completely wrong! They're all scum! And completely unreliable!!"

Their smiles grew increasingly twisted and ferocious. Just as Miyazawa Yu had said, Nojima Gen and Yamamoto Shinichiro now only felt relieved.

Seeing Iori freeze in shock, Kohei Imamura didn't give her a chance to press his advantage, saying, "Huh? Kitahara, don't you have a girlfriend? What's going on?"

Damn it! Stop talking! My dream of having a girlfriend in college is about to be blown away!

Covered in cold sweat, Kitahara Iori inwardly groaned, but in reality, there was nothing she could do.

Am I destined to give up here? I'm so unwilling to accept this!

Clenching his fists, he lowered his head and stammered, trying to explain, "I, I..."

"Ah! Let's order dessert."

"Okay! What would you like to order?"

"Ugh?"

Just when Kitahara Iori felt that things had reached a dead end, Yoshihara Mana suddenly picked up the menu and changed the subject, a turn of events that caught him completely off guard.

"Huh? Aina actually helped?"

He straightened up instantly, looking at everything that was happening in front of him in disbelief.

Based on his judgment, Aina should have some feelings for Iori, and it would be unreasonable for her to change the subject at this time.

unless……

"Summer night, did you only tell Aina's warning, or did everyone else tell you?"

"Of course everyone's been talking about it~ so we already knew Iori had a girlfriend!"

"Oh! That's not surprising, that's not surprising at all."

Lazy, Yu picked up a piece of fried chicken and put it in his mouth. In his heart, he clasped his hands together and silently mourned for Iori.

This guy could never fool a girl from the start, yet he's been working so hard jumping around for so long. He must be exhausted!

On the other hand, after a series of misunderstandings, Kanako finally revealed that they knew the truth.

Under the arrogant pressure of Yoshihara Aina's thumb, poor Kitahara Iori was instantly petrified, and then split evenly into three pieces from head to chest.

"Thank you for the treat~☆"

Half an hour later, it was completely dark. Miyazawa Yu stood at the door and waved goodbye to the five corpse beasts.

To be honest, nothing happened in the end, and I wasted time and money. Even if I had ulterior motives, I should have received the punishment I deserved!

"..."

"What's wrong, Kitahara?"

Turning his head, he saw Kitahara Iori swaying absentmindedly. Miyazawa Yu gently patted his shoulder twice to comfort him, saying, "It's okay, there will be a next time."

"No, didn't you hear me just now?"

"Listen, what do you hear?"

Dragging their weakened bodies over, Shinichiro Yamamoto and Gen Nojima hoped to hear some good news.

However, things didn't go as planned, and Kitahara Iori's next words immediately broke their defenses.

"They... in the moment their backs were turned to us... said it was like they were visiting a zoo!"

"Hoo ho."

"I see."

"The zoo."

Silently lowering their heads, after a brief moment of calm, the four scumbags, excluding Miyazawa Yu, simultaneously erupted!

"What the hell?!"

"Who are you calling a zoo?!"

"Why don't you all take a good look at yourselves in the mirror?!"

"What right does a clown who looks like a corpse beast have to talk about us like that?!"

"..."

He silently shrank back. Although it sounded harsh, Miyazawa Yu felt it was actually a fairly fair assessment. However, as a brother...

Let's go for a drink!

"Great idea! I can't swallow this insult if I don't drink it!"

"All of you, go to a repentance meeting!"

They turned and rushed into the store. What was a verbal battle just now was now a physical one! Nobody was going home until they were all drunk!!!

Chapter 70

It seems like it's already on sale without me even noticing. Thank you all for your continued support.

This book is probably the first one that's somewhat decent, though it still has many problems. The minor flaws pointed out by readers will be addressed in later parts of the story.

Of course, dear readers, I humbly request some votes and subscriptions; these are really important to me.

I wrote Grand Blue to bring joy to everyone, and I promise to bring you even better storylines in the future!!!

Chapter 71: A Glimpse into the Lives of the Pab Clan!

"Yu—how was your social gathering yesterday?"

"Ah, well~ it's really funny, all of them are eye-catching girls, but I hope there won't be a next time."

The next morning at Grand Blue, Yu Miyazawa stood behind the stove wearing an apron.

When Shinji Tokita asked about yesterday's social gathering, a bead of cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He hesitated for a long time before finally managing to come up with a reasonably acceptable evaluation.

After all, those five corpse-masking beasts were practically a scam. Not only were we cheated out of our time, but we were also cheated out of our money. It was too embarrassing to talk about such a thing!

In contrast, Iori, whose mouth was stuffed full of pancakes, was still furious.

Upon hearing that You was actually trying to whitewash the corpse beast, he immediately swallowed all the food stuck in his throat with all his might, and blushed as he pulled out yesterday's photos.

"Ha! You're right! Look at this photo! They actually dressed up like this to make fun of us!"

"That's right! Corpse-Mask Beast, what's your explanation?!"

"I've already tried my best!"

Feeling guilty, Yoshihara Aina quickly distanced herself from the situation as the fire was about to spread: "Didn't Yuu call for help too? It can't all be my problem!"

"Yes! Speaking of which, Yu, which one is your friend?"

Suddenly discovering a blind spot, Kohei Imamura immediately turned his gun on Yu Miyazawa.

Feeling equally betrayed in their relationship, Iori also chimed in loudly with a fierce expression, as if ready to confront the perpetrator.

"Neither of them will work! After all, they're both corpse beasts, but they do suit Kohei quite well."

"What kind of scoundrel are you! Are you looking for death?!"

"Is there a problem? What a pervert who invites someone to his room on the first date!"

After placing the last dish on the table, Miyazawa Yu looked speechlessly at Iori and Kohei, who had started to fight amongst themselves after just a few words, and explained, "Don't think of me as so bad. It's clearly you two who have been harassing someone's sister."

"Harassment?"

"younger sister?"

They stood frozen in place, pinching each other's cheeks. It took Kohei a while to realize, "Ah! It's that really big girl! The one who hasn't talked to us at all!"

"I think her name was Mizuki Natsuyo. What a coincidence, she shares the same surname as the voice actor Kohei likes."

"..."

Two blind spots discovered!

The complaining stopped abruptly. Imamura Kohei's pupils constricted as he punched Iori, sending him flying. Iori knelt on the ground, his face contorted in pain.

At this moment, he finally remembered that when he first joined the Pab club, Yu had mentioned that he knew Lala's voice actress, Mizuki Kaori.

He raised his head tremblingly, only to be met with a look of utter disdain from Miyazawa Yu.

"No! That can't be right, Xiao Mao is so busy, how could he have time..."
