The Azure Sea is not a warrior with ripped clothes.

With a blissful, doting smile on her face, Natsume Kanon vigorously stroked Miyazawa Yu's head and shouted to the other girls, "Yu said he works out!"

"Sigh! You're kidding me~ Such a pretty girl shouldn't need to work out..."

"Exactly! They're as ugly as the muscles on the other court!"

"puff!"

He spat out a mouthful of blood. To be honest, Miyazawa Yu felt insulted, after all, he was much bigger than Senior Kotobuki and the others...

"Yuuma! Why do you want to join TinkerBell? Do you have any friends here?"

"Sorry, I've never had many friends because of social anxiety, so I was thinking of joining a passionate club..."

"Ah! You've come to the right place! The senior students in our club are all very friendly~ For example, Yoko, she's amazing to her boyfriend, she even gave him chocolates yesterday!"

Having few friends = having a small social circle = being naive and gullible = being easily fooled!

An equation instantly formed in her mind, and a glint of light flashed in Natsume Kanon's eyes—this innocent puppy still has room for further nurturing!

However, before that, she had to eliminate the other little devils who wanted to take advantage of Yuuma, and her partner, Hanako, was one of the targets she had to take down!

"!!!"

The betrayal came unexpectedly. Yoko Hanama, with her short, light gray hair, was happily petting her dog when her smile froze on her face the next second.

She looked up slightly, incredulous, and saw her best friend's evasive gaze.

This guy! He actually went so far as to ruin the atmosphere just to have the little puppy all to himself, how despicable!

She did indeed have a boyfriend, and she hadn't originally intended to compete with Kanon for him, but now...

"Hey, Kanon, I heard you and Yamada-kun are really close~ Aren't you going to go get him some water?"

"Haha—Yoko, what are you saying? I don't understand..."

Sparks flew as their eyes met. As a third-year student, she was the most senior member of the club. No other girl dared to interfere in the battle between Natsume Kanon and Hanama Yoko!

Seeing that the time was almost ripe, Miyazawa Yu's eyes lit up and she immediately revealed a refreshing and cute tilted-head smile.

"Huh? Is Hanon-nee close to the senior students on the field? Can I go and bring them water?"

"Of course! If he won't drink it, I'll force it down his throat!"

So cute it made her swoon, Natsume Kanon didn't hesitate to let Miyazawa Yu walk off the field from TinkerBell to deliver water.

After all, she really needed some time to talk to her best friend alone!

"How terrifying! A woman's battle..."

As Miyazawa Yu walked down from the stands with an ice-cold water bottle, he swallowed hard, listening to the sounds of physical exchange behind him.

If those two senior girls found out what he really was, he'd probably be beaten to death on the spot!

However, he has something he must do in order to go on the trip to Miyako Island with Nanaka!

"Huh? Who are you...? Why are you the only one who came back? Where are the others?"

"The senior students were talking about something upstairs, so they left me all alone!"

"Oh, that's how it is……"

Outside the wire fence of the stadium, in the stands, the TinkerBell staff had no idea who this handsome young man carrying a water bottle was.

However, given how many new members the club recruits each year, he figured he must have misremembered, so he didn't pay much attention.

"Exchange venues!"

"Well! That makes things much easier!"

"yes……"

Having finally turned the tide and taken the lead, the TinkerBell player walked off the field, panting heavily, but feeling incredibly exhilarated.

It's just the Pab team, yet they managed to beat them so badly in the first half just by relying on their physical abilities. It's completely unreasonable!

"Ah! It's chilled water! Gulp gulp gulp!"

"Kanon is so thoughtful... chug chug chug!"

Completely unsuspecting, Miyazawa Yu bent down and offered the water bottle. The two chatted and laughed as they drank most of the contents of the bottle. The next second, a strong spiciness suddenly rushed to their heads.

Their stomachs, which had never tasted strong liquor before, could not withstand such a cruel test. The intense pain forced them to kneel down and clutch their abdomens in order to barely speak.

"What, what is this thing! Has the contents been switched?!"

"You bastard! Who are you?!"

"……Ah!"

A wicked smile curled at the corners of his lips, and his sinister gaze ruined his once handsome face.

Seeing the enemy kneeling helplessly on the ground, Miyazawa Yu calmly picked up the water bottle and solemnly introduced it: "Obviously! This is just ordinary water!"

"Liar! It's already evaporated, it definitely wasn't water!!!"

"Huh? But there seems to be nothing wrong with the color~~"

Amidst the horrified gazes of the TinkerBell staff, Yu Miyazawa poured the liquid from the bottle onto the lid of the cup, then pulled out a lighter and lit it directly.

"And it's flammable too!"

"Damn it! 'Flammable' means it's mostly alcohol!"

"Come on, don't say that!"

Seeing that their scheme had succeeded, Kitahara Iori and Imamura Kohei stopped pretending and directly stepped over the middle to support their brother.

The three of them put their arms around each other's shoulders, all sporting an arrogant expression that said, "What can you do to me?"

Only after confirming that the unfortunate fellow who had drunk the water was unable to get up again did they return to their own half of the field, laughing loudly.

"Hahaha! Iori, your charm strategy is brilliant!"

"Wow—it's all thanks to Yu's excellent acting! To be honest, I felt like punching you while watching!"

"Exactly! And they say they don't have many friends? It's so cringeworthy!"

"I really don't want you guys to say that to me! But I'll take it as a compliment!"

"..."

After watching the three beasts return in triumph, the girls fell silent, unsure of how to react.

You might say they lack sportsmanship, but after all, it's a tit-for-tat retaliation, and from a moral standpoint, there's really nothing wrong with it.

But to applaud such a shameless scheme to deceive girls' feelings... is a bit too inhuman!

"WinbyPab!"

On stage, although they were not fully sober, Ryujiro Kotobuki and Shinji Tokita were certain that tennis should not be played while lying down.

Although the referee was very unwilling, he still announced the result of the first game under the watchful eyes of the two burly men.

"Yosh! Not to wake me up, but to get the enemy drunk – the handsome man ploy was a huge success!"

"Now we're on equal footing, Lucky!"

"It's definitely not luck..."

Yoshihara Aina gave the cunning Iori a disdainful look, then leaned closer to Miyazawa Yu and asked, "What about those two girls over there? They probably won't let you off easily!"

"Whatever happens, happens. My reputation at school wasn't great to begin with anyway, what can they do to me..."

Taking the idea that shamelessness makes one invincible to the extreme, Miyazawa Yu's approach is like having too many lice and not feeling any itch.

Since his bad reputation has already spread and he's not popular with women at his school, he might as well just walk a little further to Aina's Qinghai Girls' Middle School to play!

"Anyway! Aina, Chisa, good luck in the next match! Try to knock them out!"

"Sigh~ They're just dumping all the problems on us..."

Staring wide-eyed at the irresponsible Yu, Yoshihara Mana turned to Iori to complain, but the latter surprisingly gave a thumbs-up in deep agreement!

It's really frustrating. I'm not very good at tennis to begin with, and if I'm put under too much pressure, I'll perform poorly!

"By the way, sister, where are my workout clothes?"

Before going on the court, Chisa Kotegawa tried to make a final stand, clutching her super short tennis skirt.

However, Nanaka's next words immediately shattered her last hope—"It's at home, you didn't bring it at all!"

"Ugh……"

It seemed her older sister was determined to make her wear this outfit. Kotegawa Chisa stood helplessly on the field, ready to face her opponent's taunts.

However, even with mental preparation, she was still so frightened by the two black monsters walking towards her that she took a half-step back.

"Wait a minute, were those two people in this state just now? They're completely different people now!"

"Oh my god—isn't this Chisa, the beauty pageant winner! Is Yuujin your boyfriend?"

"They really hid it well, even going so far as to use that cross-dressing Iori to cover it up! How utterly rotten!"

"???"

Offstage, completely unaware of what the two girls were imagining, Miyazawa Yu stopped halfway through tearing off her false eyelashes and looked at Iori with a bewildered expression.

Fortunately, the other person also seemed very confused, clearly not expecting that he had gone from being the main girlfriend to a backup option.

"That... Yuta!"

Sensing that the other party had misunderstood something, Nanaka Kotegawa was about to explain, but Kanon Natsume didn't care!

"Heh! Yuzhen is quite a good match for you, the beauty pageant winner~ So... I'd like to add a clause to the existing competition rewards and punishments!"

"How about we use the prize money from my third-place beauty pageant and Yamada's third-place finish to ensure that Yuuma joins TinkerBell?"

Picking up the conversation, Yoko Hanama admitted that while she might be a bit too much of a smooth talker, she had to help her best friend out when she needed it!

As for Yamada... he was forced to agree because of the pressure exerted by the girls.

Chapter 99 You can't cheat!

"bonus!"

"And it's double portions!"

Ryujiro, still drunk, stood up and frantically calculated on his phone, finally arriving at a number that was incredibly exciting.

If they could add this money, their trip to Miyako Island might not only include diving and a cocktail party, but also allow them to stay until the island festival and participate in the celebrations!

"Wait! Senior, this is risky! Yu might be snatched away!"

Just as the traditional skills of the Pab Club members were about to be unleashed, Yoshihara Mana quickly spread her arms to stop her seniors!

That's outrageous! They actually want to sell Yu for money! Do they even have the demeanor of senior students?!

"Yes, yes! We agree!"

"Hamaoka Azusa-senpai!!!"

Despite meticulously planning and keeping a close eye on Senior Kotobuki and Senior Tokita, Yoshihara Aina never expected that the only one who slipped through the net, Hamaoka Azusa, would still happily agree to the bet.

Together with Chisa, they rushed forward and pulled Azusa back to her rest area, anxiously shouting, "Azusa-senpai! What if we really lose!"

"Oh? So what if we lose? It's a sure thing, we can't lose!"

Even Iori said so!!!

"No, what they said actually makes sense..."

Pinching her chin, Miyazawa Yu, having recovered from the shock of being snatched away, explained, "First of all, the school allows you to join multiple clubs, as long as your attendance is up to standard, it's perfectly fine!"

"In other words, even if Yu loses and joins TinkerBell, we won't suffer any losses, but if we win, we can all participate in the festival!"

"No, no, no! Actually, there are still benefits to losing, since Yu can arrange a girls' social event at TinkerBell for us..."

Watching the three Pab members huddled together, frantically weighing the pros and cons and making the most of the remaining value, Yoshihara Aina felt her CPU was about to explode.

They can squeeze every last drop of profit from the worst things in the world, so it wouldn't be surprising if I ended up being sold out myself!

"Yosh! We've made a deal. If we lose, we'll definitely send Yuuma over to you!"

Hamaoka Azusa reapplied the false eyelashes to Miyazawa Yu, then pushed him to the forefront like a sales pitch, eliciting cheers from the girls and hostility from the boys.

"Ah...it seems Yu is on the road to becoming the public enemy of boys and there's no turning back!"

"That means the boy over there looks like he's turned green with anger."
