The Azure Sea is not a warrior with ripped clothes.

"Hello! Excuse me, is anyone home?"

"Of course, what do you need, sir?"

Regardless of whether we've gone to the wrong place or not, since we're here, we should at least go in and take a look.

The moment Miyazawa Yu opened the glass door, a refreshing coolness poured out, instantly boosting the goodwill of the people who had been walking under the scorching sun for half a day to 100%!

“We have diving experience vouchers here; nine people booked them three days ago.”

"Wait a moment, let me check..."

The nine people were still using trial diving vouchers. In fact, from the moment Miyazawa Yu and the others came in, the receptionist had already proactively brought up the registration page.

After confirming that the voucher was correct, she smiled and leaned forward slightly, raising her hand toward the waiting area on the side of the counter.

"No problem! Please wait a moment, our pre-booked guide is ready and will lead you diving shortly."

"Wow, we didn't come to the wrong place after all?"

Secretly amazed, Kitahara Iori looked around the unusually modern decor of the diving shop and felt somewhat dazed.

Having grown accustomed to Grand Blue's rugged ocean-themed decor, this minimalist business style now feels like something's missing.

and……

I plopped down on the sofa, and the cool leather against my skin brought an amazing sense of comfort.

Just as Miyazawa Yu was about to close his eyes and enjoy the long-awaited air conditioning, Kitahara Iori's voice ruthlessly interrupted his enjoyment.

"Yoyo! Yoyo! Look over there!"

"Huh? What is this? It's just a regular underwater information display screen, isn't it?"

Half-dead, Miyazawa Yu opened his eyes and followed Iori's finger to look. He saw several electronic displays hanging on the wall opposite the rest area.

The scrolling images above are nothing more than underwater scenery and photos of guests taking pictures.

It's just a common customer-attracting tactic used by dive shops; there's nothing to be surprised about.

"Who told you to look at the screen! Look up there! Look at the promotional posters up there!"

"Promotional poster?"

Opening her eyes wide, and looking past Hamaoka Azusa's short purple hair, Miyazawa Yu finally saw the huge promotional poster that Iori had mentioned.

However, the next second, a huge question mark rose above his head.

The poster prominently features a scene of the poster interacting intimately with a hammerhead shark, and with the addition of a custom filter, it has a distinct Hollywood blockbuster feel to it!

"This is an infringement of portrait rights!"

His pupils dilated in shock, and Miyazawa Yu's hands and feet trembled with rage, as if he were discovering for the first time that evil existed in this world!

"I think I only authorized SILVERMANGYM to use this photo for advertising, how can this store be so blatant!"

"Huh? What photo? It's real!"

While still chatting and laughing with Nanaka Kotegawa, Azusa Hamaoka looked up and found that the boys sitting opposite her were all looking at the top of her head with resentment.

Confused, she turned her head and immediately saw the promotional poster.

"What should we do, Yu? This is a serious violation of portrait rights, isn't it?"

"Um……"

Faced with Aina's serious question, Miyazawa Yu immediately frowned and assumed the posture of Commander Ikari, falling into deep thought. A few seconds later, a wise glint flashed in his eyes.

"It's very simple, just use up the trial voucher first, then come after the store, that's it!"

"Um...should I use a scroll first?"

Originally indignant and about to ask the front desk for clarification, Yoshihara Aina's expression instantly turned speechless after hearing Miyazawa Yu's solution.

Even though his portrait rights have been violated, Yu is still thinking about getting free trial vouchers.

He truly deserves to be called a scumbag; he's mastered the principle that if you can't gain an advantage, you're at a disadvantage!

"Of course! After all, if we cause trouble first, our trial vouchers will definitely be invalidated. Let's keep things separate!"

"Well said, let's keep things separate! What kind of answer do you want?"

"Of course, we should take down the advertising and settle things with the money..."

The tone gradually softened, and Miyazawa Yu suddenly realized that the voice was familiar, but only familiar in the past...

"Gulu..."

All eyes turned to him again. He stiffly turned his head and saw a burly, middle-aged man in a suit standing there, looking as stiff as a bear.

"Haha, good day, Dad~"

"I don't have my son who hasn't called home even once in months!"

Chapter 127 Nanaka meets her parents for the first time!

"..."

Curled up to one side, the nine-member Pab group fell into absolute silence after Miyazawa Yu's words, "Dad."

Especially after Miyazawa Kumaji sat down opposite them with an imposing air, the oppressive feeling of being targeted by the underworld was almost suffocating.

"Gulp... Yu, what exactly does your family do? Even if you're involved in the underworld, we won't discriminate against you!"

Speaking in a very low voice, Kitahara Iori secretly checked the situation with Miyazawa Yu, taking advantage of her senior's height.

Of course, this wasn't to save Yu, who wasn't communicating with her family, but to save her own life.

If the Miyazawa family were truly yakuza bosses, they wouldn't have been stuffed into concrete pillars and sunk into Tokyo Bay, would they? That's how it's always portrayed on TV!

"Damn it, our family is in the legitimate real estate business. I heard they're trying to move into the service industry, but I don't know the specifics..."

"Who would believe that! I can already sense their killing intent. Since there are nine of them, should we just run? It's better for a few to escape than for the whole army to be wiped out!"

His legs were trembling, and Kohei Imamura stared at the door with a ferocious expression.

As the saying goes, "It's better to die for your friend than for yourself," and he had never had the chance to put this traditional virtue of the Pab Department into practice. Now was the perfect time to test his sprinting ability!

"Shut up, you two bastards! Don't think nonsense! At most, I'll break your third leg and that'll be the end of it."

"What?! Isn't this even more cruel than being buried in a concrete pillar?!"

"Cough cough!"

I don't care what Iori and Kohei say, neither of them will escape!

Seeing that the situation could not be allowed to remain deadlocked, Miyazawa Yu cleared his throat and put on a forced smile.

"Hey old man, don't you have a lot going on at home? What a coincidence that you have time to come here for some diving!"

"Hello, I am Miyazawa Yu's father, Miyazawa Kumaji. Please take care of my son!"

After glancing at his good-for-nothing son, Miyazawa Kumaji immediately stood up and raised his hand to thank Tokita Shinji.

Seeing this, Shinji Tokita immediately stood up and shook hands with him, saying modestly, "Not at all, Yu has been a great help to us. We should be the ones thanking you!"

"It's alright, don't say nice things about this kid to me. He's never been very mature since he was a child. I'm already very pleased that he's been able to tone it down a bit since he entered university!"

"..."

I really wanted to say that Yu was already considered one of the normal people in Pabbe, but Kotobuki Ryujiro managed to suppress his urge to make sarcastic remarks.

If the burly man in front of him knew that his son's daily routine outside consisted of drinking and playing street games, it would be a nightmare.

Those outsiders might be fine, but Miyazawa Yu would definitely die on the spot, there is no other possibility!

"Uh... Dad, could you please stop ignoring me? I just forgot about the phone call because I was so busy with university!"

He was left out in the cold, but for Miyazawa Yu's thick skin, which he had honed to perfection, it didn't even penetrate the surface layer of his armor.

He took out drinks from the icebox hanging on his body and offered them to the customer, fawningly assuring them, "You absolutely haven't been running wild since leaving home and forgotten who you are!"

"Hasn't he already said it himself..."

His eyes curved into crescent shapes, revealing that although Miyazawa Kumaji appears intimidating, he is very polite in his words and actions.

Yoshihara Mana gradually relaxed and even had the leisure to make sarcastic remarks.

Moreover, the difference between this father and son is too great; they are two extremes, one serious and the other silly. I wonder if this can be considered a kind of cute contrast.

"Hmph, I don't want to say anything else to you. Now that you're in college, your mother and I have no problem with you taking care of your own life, but..."

With a soft snort, Miyazawa Kumaji stared seriously into Miyazawa Yu's eyes, his finger pointing at the promotional poster that had just been accused of copyright infringement.

"Explain it to me, and if it satisfies me, these things will be wiped clean."

"Um... well, the causes of this are very complicated..."

Her expression became hesitant, and Miyazawa Yu drew out the sound, slowing down her movements as she tried to buy time to come up with a suitable excuse.

From a personal perspective, he didn't want his father to know that he was taking the risk for Nana-chan and Azusa-senpai.

Because this could label the two of them as dangerous, which is something he absolutely cannot accept!

However, as he struggled under immense pressure to find a perfunctory excuse, Nanaka Kotegawa pulled him directly behind her.

"I'm sorry! This happened because we didn't do our research on the water area beforehand. Yu was only risking her life to save me."

"Nana-chan!"

Miyazawa Yu's pupils contracted, and he was about to retort when Kotegawa Nanaka reached out and precisely covered his mouth with her hand.

One should take responsibility for one's actions. Although Nanaka is usually very gentle, she will never shirk responsibility when it comes to important matters!

"I see……"

Looking at the young boy and girl tangled together, Miyazawa Kumaji could roughly guess the whole story.

To his surprise, Hamaoka Azusa also stood up and bowed apologetically, saying, "And me, Yu risked his life to dispel the danger in order to protect us. Please forgive our recklessness."

"Okay! I understand. You were in danger trying to save someone? You did a great job, Yu! I'll explain this to your mom!"

His gaze kept darting between Hamaoka Azusa and Kotegawa Nanaka.

Having lived for decades, Miyazawa Kumaji has an excellent grasp of the business world, let alone the emotional bonds between young men and women.

He had already sensed something fishy going on, but he didn't intend to say anything. Instead, he directly approved of Miyazawa Yu's actions.

"Hey? Dad, aren't you angry? Don't you always say that a gentleman doesn't put himself in danger?"

Upon receiving the unexpected reply, Miyazawa Yu was momentarily dazed, after all, his father had often taught him to be prudent and protect himself when doing things.

Now that he has risked his life for Azusa-senpai and Nana-ka-nee, he should be reprimanded, so why is he being rewarded?

"That's right, a gentleman doesn't risk his life, but there are also things a gentleman must do!"

With his hands clasped together on his lap, Miyazawa Kumaji felt a slight sense of relief, and at the same time, his unapproachable aura completely dissipated.

"I used to tell you to play it safe because you were cynical, but now that you've grown up, the standards naturally need to change!"

"That's it..."

To everyone's delight, Miyazawa Yu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his father didn't seem to be planning to cause him any trouble.

Now he finally had the chance to ask that important question again: "Dad, how did you find this place? I didn't tell anyone I came back, did I?"

"That's right..."

After taking a sip of the beer he was offered, Miyazawa Kumaji asked the probing question: "You yourself said that your family business is developing into the tertiary industry, so guess who owns the land beneath your feet?"

"Hmm... don't tell me it's Miyazawa Real Estate?"

"That's right!"

"Miyazawa Realty?"

The name sounded familiar. With her quick thinking and resourcefulness, Chisa Kotegawa opened her browser and searched, finding the relevant company effortlessly.

Miyazawa Real Estate, a large-scale real estate development, usage, and construction group that emerged around the 80s, now also has businesses in non-traditional industries such as finance and services, and boasts the second-largest cash flow after the Shinomiya Group...

"..."

I feel like there's something wrong with my eyes; Yoshihara Mana's mouth is completely open in an "O" shape—

What an impressive resume! In the fifty years since its founding, it has not only grown from an unknown small business into an industry leader, but has even been able to directly challenge traditional conglomerates!

Yu's family background is just too strong; it goes beyond what the term "second-generation rich" can describe!

"Hiss... So that blonde girl was part of your trap! You lured me here to face punishment?"
