The Azure Sea is not a warrior with ripped clothes.

"Huh? I'm not lying, does being so happy that you're dancing around count as part of the show?"

Making a peace sign, Hamaoka Azusa showed no awareness of deceiving high school students, and even stuck out her tongue to act cute in a malicious way.

However, what she said wasn't wrong. Given Kohei's personality, he dared to kneel and wail in front of the tea ceremony club in front of so many people at the entrance festival.

If a beautiful high school girl were to call him Onii-chan, it wouldn't be impossible for him to be so happy that he'd die of joy!

"Um... Yu, could you come here for a second?"

Just as Miyazawa Yu was imagining Kohei's reaction, a shout suddenly came from behind him. He turned around and saw that it was Yoshihara Aina in her swimsuit waving at him.

"Hey! You look pretty polished today! Why didn't you wear your zombie costume?"

"You're being very rude!"

Hit where it hurt, Yoshihara Mana's expression instantly turned sour, but judging from her subconscious act of protecting her chest, she was still shy, only suppressed by a stronger sense of mission.

"Yu! Listen to me, this is a matter of life and death, you must answer seriously!"

"Ah...is that right? You're asking?"

This was the first time he had seen Mana so serious. Seeing this, Miyazawa Yu also put away his playful attitude and listened attentively to show that he was ready!

Biting her lip, Yoshihara Aina glanced to the side and, finding no one paying attention to her, immediately closed her eyes and lowered her head.

"Yu! Please tell me if you have any improper thoughts about Chisa!"

"……What?"

With a look of innocent naiveté typical of college students, Miyazawa Yu reached out and patted his ear, wondering if he had lost his hearing.

Mana actually asked him if he liked Chisa. How could he have such a dream?

However, seeing his reaction, Yoshihara Aina was already filled with shame and indignation, but for Yu's life and Iori's sake, she still kept her eyes tightly closed and repeated, "Please answer seriously! This is very important to me!"

"???"

Why is it so important for Aina whether she likes Chisa or not?

Unleashing his romantic side, limited to his first year of high school, Miyazawa Yu combined anime and visual novels to arrive at an even more horrifying conclusion—could it be that Mana likes me?! Is she jealous?!

This doesn't make sense! Doesn't Mana have feelings for Iori?

Could it be that my charm is so strong that I've unknowingly won over Iori?

"Gulu!"

Regardless, although Aina and Iori's relationship is still far from settled, Miyazawa Yu still feels that he cannot do something like that.

Moreover, he prefers older women like Nanaka Kotegawa, while Mana has a tiny, bean-like figure and a dark past as a zombie.

I just can't bring myself to eat it!

"Um... Mana, listen to me, I actually have a lot of flaws!"

"Ok?"

"For example... for example, I like sleeping in an O position! Wearing panties always feels a bit uncomfortable, and..."

The root of the irrelevant answer lies in the imagination, as Miyazawa Yu tries to make herself intimidated by the constant revelation of her dark past.

Yoshihara Aina stared blankly, completely unaware of what he was about to reveal.

But her gossipy nature made her keep her mouth shut, her eyes sparkling.

"Anyway! Ai-na! There's no future for us. Let's just be friends, please!"

"Sigh... what was the result?"

With her shoulder pressed down, Yoshihara Aina was enjoying absorbing the energy of the Eight Trigrams when she was suddenly interrupted, which startled her.

Realizing that Yu had misunderstood her, she quickly held up a finger and explained seriously, "I just wanted to say... Yu's behavior of having three relationships at the same time is wrong! It would be so pitiful for Chisa!"

"Huh? What do you mean by having three girlfriends at the same time? You barely have enough if you include Azusa-senpai, right? So, Mana, you're not jealous of Chisa?"

Trying to have his cake and eat it too? Does he even have the ability to do that? He hasn't even managed to get Nanaka-nee yet!

Faced with unwarranted accusations, Miyazawa Yu naturally refused to admit it, and the situation seemed to be different from what she had imagined.

Judging from Aina's calm and composed demeanor, it doesn't seem like the reaction of someone whose crush has been exposed. Could it be that he's just imagining things?

"I'm not jealous at all..."

Realizing that Miyazawa Yu definitely thought she liked him, Yoshihara Aina broke out in a cold sweat.

While Yu's ordinary form suits her taste and can be considered high-class cuisine, she values ​​the connection of souls and Platonic romantic love even more!

Therefore, in matters of love, she actually prefers Iori, who has given her the most affection.

"Is that so? That's wonderful..."

The girl who had a crush on my brother didn't fall for me, thus successfully avoiding a twisted plot. Miyazawa Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

Remembering the embarrassing things he'd blurted out in his panic, his heart tightened again, so he quickly reminded her, "Please don't tell anyone what you just said, Aina!"

"No problem, no problem..."

It's just some trivial thing like being dumped by your girlfriend in high school and not liking to wear panties.

Compared to the nightly parties, none of this matters as much as a hair on a cow's head. Yoshihara Aina really doesn't know what Yu is panicking about.

But since the other party has been so cooperative in handing her this incriminating evidence, it would be disrespectful not to use it!

"Getting back to the point! What exactly is Yu's attitude towards Chisa? Does he have any intention of pursuing Chisa? Look my eyes! Tell the truth!"

"Tsk! Even if you ask that..."

So perplexed he was practically grimacing. Before Mana brought it up, Miyazawa Yu had never really considered what Chisa's true identity was in his heart.

If I had to put it bluntly, I might have initially harbored some improper thoughts about sisterhood, but later...

After hesitating for a while, his expression gradually softened and became firm: "She should be a very good friend, or even a younger sister! The kind who would break the legs of anyone who tries to pursue her!"

"Is that so? Then he really is a very reliable older brother~"

Having received a completely unexpected answer, Yoshihara Aina thought it would end with them being friends, but she never expected that Yu's feelings for Chisa would lean more towards those of siblings?

"Yes! Not just Chisa!"

Patting his chest earnestly, Miyazawa Yu added with a bright smile, "Aina too! So you can call me Onii-chan anytime, it's okay!"

"I won't scream. Are you possessed by Kohei?"

"Wow, the ocean!"

The concrete ground beneath their feet turned into a sandy beach. Miyazawa Yu ruffled Mana's hair and then walked toward Sakura Hibiki, who had already started frolicking.

"Change into your wetsuit! Watch your step, you're not used to walking with fins and you can easily fall!"

"Yes!"

"..."

Seeing that Yu was starting to greet the guests quite reliably, Yoshihara Aina turned her head slightly to look at Iori, who had already come to terms with it, and asked, "So, can you spare Yu's life now?"

"Yes! I was judging him by my own petty standards..."

With a self-deprecating chuckle, just when Mana thought the matter was finally over, Kitahara Iori suddenly revealed a terrifying smile.

"But Yu hasn't denied having feelings for Azusa-senpai, has he? And it seems like his relationship with Nanaka-nee is progressing too!"

"Anyway, Yu is definitely going to die! You guys are best friends, right? Can't you just be generous and wish Yu finds true love?"

"What a joke! The guy who betrays his brothers and is the first to get a girlfriend deserves to die!"

"He's a complete scumbag!"

Chapter 91 The ocean is beautiful, but safety is still important.

"Wow—I've been working in Izu for so long, but it feels like I've never been to the beach at all..."

Wearing a pure black Pippo swimsuit, strolling on the beach, the salty sea breeze brought a charming wildness. Tachibana Satomi could almost imagine the scene of a handsome guy striking up a conversation with her.

however……

"Why is this place so empty? Shouldn't there be lots of tourists this season?"

Looking at the empty beach in front of her, she knelt down and large tears of humiliation seeped into the sand and disappeared.

"Ah, because this is a dive site, the underwater drop becomes very large very quickly, so tourists generally don't come here!"

Pointing to the "No Swimming" sign next to him, Miyazawa Yu looked helplessly at Tachibana Rimi, who seemed about to throw a tantrum.

Is this guy really a teacher? Not only does he not have the same bust size as Akemi Kanade, but his personality is also so eccentric.

I thought she would have a cool and aloof persona, but she broke down instantly as soon as she got to the beach.

"why is it like this……"

With tears welling in her eyes, Tachibana Rimi abruptly raised her head. Coming to the beach with her students was already enough to make her feel disappointed.

There aren't even any handsome guys in swimsuits now, which is a huge blow to her pursuit of a romantic encounter!

"Oh, Tachibana-sensei, don't say that. Isn't it great that we're diving together? The underwater world is so beautiful!"

"real……"

"That's right, even nearshore fish are more abundant this season, and if you're lucky, you might even spot a sea turtle!"

Having done her homework, Miyazawa Yu squatted down, extended a finger, and smiled as she shared the ecological conditions of the nearby sea area.

Seeing the boy earnestly comforting her, Rimi Tachibana's pupils dilated slightly and her heart trembled.

Seeing the other person's bewildered expression, she hurriedly stood up and stiffly hid behind Zhu Mei—

Damn it, I actually thought a boy more than ten years younger than me was very kind!

No way! This is a whole generation younger than her! An older man dating a younger woman will get censored!

"Um... Tachibana-sensei?"

"Yes!"

"Hurry up and put on your wetsuits, we're going into the water!"

Having already put on half of her diving suit, Akemi Souin let her hair down in a few wisps.

While handing the hair tie to Hamaoka Azusa for safekeeping, she also handed over Tachibana Satomi's wetsuit.

"Arigato... Has Jumei ever dived before?"

"Yeah! I've dived in places like the Maldives and Hawaii, but always alone..."

With a cheerful smile, Akemi Souin fixed her diving mask to her head, her emerald green eyes sparkling with astonishing excitement.

"This is the first time I've ever enjoyed diving with friends like this!"

"Is that so? That's certainly something to be happy about."

The students are already so excited, how can I, as a teacher, spoil their fun?

With a doting chuckle, Tachibana Rimi quickly put on her wetsuit and stood at the end of the line for the underwater inspection.

The underwater world? That sounds amazing! It must be completely turquoise!

"No problems have arisen so far, so I'm leaving the rest to you, Nanaka-nee!"

It was the first time Miyazawa Yu had helped the store generate business, so it was impossible for him not to be nervous at all.

Although Huang Mao Gengping ruined the atmosphere once, so far the whole process has not had any major problems.

There's not much I can do to help with the rest of the work, but I hope that Sister Nana and the blue sea can win over these fitness girls.

"Don't worry, I'll do my best, even if it's just for Yu~"

Smiling and giving an OK sign, Nanaka Kotegawa's eyes softened even more as she took in all the other person's efforts.

Yu is really cool for working so hard for her and constantly pushing his own limits.

Since that's the case, I can't afford to be a failure!

"Everyone, are you all ready?"

"No problem!"

"Understood, we...begin our descent!"

They took the lead, grabbing the rope and wading into the water. The sea was as deep and beautiful as ever, and the sunlight shone through the water's surface, casting patterns of waves on the seabed.
