The azure sea, but a lonely, fulfilled life.

Hurry, hurry up! The moon is about to fall asleep.

Chapter Thirty-Nine: Annihilation of Mitarai (Part 1)

After hanging up the phone in an emergency to avoid danger, Mitarai Yu covered one cheek with one hand, her pupils involuntarily contracting. She was still a step too slow. She should not have answered Kitahara's call. But doing so might have led to those suspicious bastards coming to her door.

As he recalled the ugly faces of those scumbags, a chill ran down his spine. He began to regret pretending not to have seen Yamamoto's message today; he should have just made up some excuse!

"what happened to you?"

A sweet voice came to her ear. Mitarai Yu turned to look at Ohashi Rie, who looked puzzled. Her clothes were disheveled, and she was lightly pulling a thin blanket over herself. Her rounded shoulders were exposed, and her delicate collarbone was as white as powder when the moonlight shone through the gauze curtain.

A summer-specific ice silk quilt was draped over the girl's full breasts, its fatally rounded shape causing him to swell with desire. This was the day he had longed for, the result of his tireless efforts over so many days.

No matter what, he had to eat this ripe fruit!

Having figured this out, Mitarai Yu reached out and put his arm around the other person's shoulder. His narrowed eyes held a hidden glint of eagerness as he smiled lewdly and leaned closer to him.

"It's nothing, let's continue."

Looking up at his handsome face, Rie Ohashi blushed shyly and slowly lay down with his touch: "Really, you're such a pervert~"

Yu Mitarai smiled after hearing this, and lowered his head to kiss her cherry blossom-pink lips.

The Yamamoto family's house was a twenty-minute walk away from his. Even if he waited until they arrived, the first round would be over by then, and he wouldn't have any regrets.

Don't ask him why he's so sure those bastards will come and ruin his good time; they're best friends who are completely honest with each other!

Those damned scumbags, may they spend their lives with their own little girls! This was his most heartfelt blessing to them as their best friend.

[Ding-dong]

Just as he was about to kiss those lips he had longed for, the doorbell rang, interrupting him. Mitarai Yu looked sharply towards the door.

Is it them? No way, it's only been less than a minute. Are they premature ejaculators?

Just as he was feeling uneasy, a voice he had never heard before came from the doorway: "You have a package."

A delivery? The whip he ordered just yesterday arrived so early? When did Japan's delivery service become so convenient?

Oh well, at least it's not that group of people.

Yu Mitarai withdrew her gaze and then leaned forward again.

"Mr. Mitarai, are you home?"

The girl opened her eyes upon hearing the sound. She looked at her lover and, seeing that he had no intention of going over, asked, "Aren't you going to open the door?"

Yu Mitarai, who has been searching for tips on flirting for years, calmly declined: "No, I don't want anyone to accidentally see what you look like now when I'm stamping my seal."

He leaned close to the girl and whispered, "I'm only allowed to see Rie-chan like this."

His forceful words made Rie Ohashi's breathing become a little erratic. She glanced at him with a flirtatious look in her eyes, raised her fist and gently punched his chest, then closed her eyes and waited.

Seeing this, Mitarai Yu's heart melted. His dragon was roaring, wanting to unleash the flames it had been holding back for so long.

"Mr. Mitarai, your package has arrived. Please open the door."

The shouts from outside the door continued relentlessly, and the knocking continued.

"How about I hide under the covers and you go sign for the package first?" The sensible girl thought it wasn't right to keep the deliveryman outside the door, so she suggested.

"No need, he'll be gone in a bit."

Mitarai Yu smiled, but inwardly he was getting impatient. If things continued like this, those bastards might be at the door soon.

He eagerly lowered his head and brought his lips close to the other's.

"Your purchase of the 200-video collection has been delivered."

puff-

Yu Mitarai coughed up a mouthful of blood; he had never bought anything like this before.

"200 episodes of a·v?"

Upon hearing this, Rie Ohashi sat up straight and looked at him in surprise.

"It's not what you think, it's an animal video, a short animal documentary. I've recently started enjoying watching Animal World, especially that squirrel that always gets it right, oh, it's so cute."

Yu Mitarai hurriedly explained that he was lying; every time he saw the squirrel, he couldn't help but want to slap it.

“Squirrels can’t talk, right?” Rie Ohashi dismissed her suspicions, guessing that the other person had probably watched some prank video and mistaken it for an animal documentary.

"Hahaha, is that so? It seems I made a mistake." Seeing that the other party did not suspect anything, Mitarai Yu breathed a sigh of relief and pretended not to know to scratch the back of his head to increase credibility.

Just as the two were looking at each other, a strange noise came from the doorway, like the clattering sound of something being stuffed into a box, which caught Mitarai Yu's attention.

He turned around and saw a lot of discs falling from the lower side door of the doorway. Without exception, the covers of the discs featured women wearing sexy uniforms and behaving seductively.

"Excuse me, the door is too small to fit everything in. Please open the door—"

Mitarai Yu's face darkened. He hadn't recognized the voice before, but now that there was a brief pause, he finally figured out whose voice it was.

Kitahara Iori, you bastard!!!

-

Hachiman stood outside the door, watching Yamamoto pull out pornographic DVDs from his four-dimensional pocket. He was filled with mixed emotions. Was he really going to send himself to hell just to destroy other people's happiness? Yamamoto Shinichiro, what a terrifying man.

"Will this really work?" Nojima asked from the side, looking into the room through the window, but he couldn't see anything because the curtains were covering it. "If it doesn't work, not only will Yamamoto lose his treasured discs, but he might also end up giving that guy a tool to help him with his love life."

“This is just Plan A,” Iori said.

"The lights have been turned off." The always alert Kohei noticed the light source being turned off.

"That bastard, is he planning a full-scale attack?" Yamamoto's eyes were bloodshot. What a despicable man! He actually disdained their attack and even generously allowed them to eavesdrop. How hateful! Absolutely hateful!

The others (except Hachiman) were also stunned by this scene. They all looked at Iori and said, "What is Plan B? Let's get ready!"

In any case, they didn't want to see their dearest friend go to heaven first!

Ultimately, only you can be number one! x6

Hachiman covered his mouth. Oh no, we've been switched to the same channel! Seriously, what exactly does "best friend" mean to you guys?

Chapter 40 Annihilation of Mitarai (Part Two)

"Plan B".

Under everyone's gaze, Iori took out her phone, expressionlessly set her Line account to female, and changed her profile picture to a bunny.

"You're not planning to pretend to be a woman and send harassing messages to them, are you?" Hachiman, who already knew the other person's nature, looked at this ridiculous move speechlessly.

"Ah, as expected of my best friend, we understand each other perfectly." After saying this, Iori quickly typed with one hand, typing out a series of words.

Inside the room, Yu Mitarai was trying to cover up what had just happened and was about to go all out when his phone, which was placed on the bedside table, suddenly vibrated violently. On the bright screen, a text message had been sent by an unknown person.

The moon is so beautiful tonight. How have you been lately?

What is this? Who posted it? Ami? Does he know this person?

Just as Mitarai Yu was still thinking, the other party sent another message that made his eyes widen in surprise.

[During the time you weren't by my side, I haven't been living alone... I'm doing well, just occasionally a little lonely. At night, I think back to the sweet moments we shared, and I remember you holding me in your arms on the hotel bed, saying you'd stay with me until we grow old.]

[I'm not saying this to complain about you, it's just... I haven't been feeling well lately. My period is late, and I went to the doctor. He asked me when my last period was... and I didn't dare say.]

Don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble.

[It was all just an ill-timed mistake; I will bear the consequences of my actions.]

[After all this self-pity and rambling, all I really want to say is that I still love you. If you still hate me, just pretend you didn't see this and delete my contact information.]

The moonlight is so beautiful tonight.

-

Hachiman got goosebumps after reading the entire message. If he hadn't known that the sender was a lewd naked man, he would have almost believed it.

The sentiment of a woman confined to her chambers and feeling resentful is so strong. Only someone who has experienced being abandoned several times could write such apt words. Look at the four people next to Yamamoto; they've all covered their cheeks and can't help but cry.

"Ami-chan, don't worry, we will definitely deal this scumbag the heaviest blow."

Yamamoto sobbed as he took out his personal relic, a German military shovel stained with an unknown red liquid. This shovel had a certain probability of stunning the target after striking them and reducing their sanity by ten points, thus creating a deterrent effect.

The others also indignantly agreed with his words, leaving Hachiman, who still retained some rationality, feeling utterly exhausted.

Your Ami-chan is right here, typing and sending a text message with the same hand she was picking her nose not long ago.

This situation reminded him of a meme circulating online: the girl you flirt with in the game is unloved by her parents, can only love herself, is beautiful, has long, thin legs, is often harassed by hooligans, and can only cry silently, but will still pretend to be strong and cheerful in front of you like a sweet and soft strawberry cake. In reality, she might be a perverted psoriasis who often exposes her whole body, drinks like a cow, never holds back when ripping people off, and has a lower bottom line than her upper limit.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Iori scratched his butt and looked at Hachiman, who was staring at him with a strange look.

"It's nothing." Hachiman looked away; thankfully, he didn't believe in online dating. "How did it go?"

-

Those bastards!

Yu Mitarai let out a broken gurgling sound as he looked at the ceiling, which was only a head away from him, and grasped Rie Ohashi's hand.

"Those were just pranks by friends."

"really?"

Rie Ohashi held him up by the throat with one hand. This man, weighing over 50 kilograms, looked like a little chick in her hands. Her arm strength would be considered top-notch even in a fitness manga.

"Really, you know I don't have any female friends, right?" Mitarai Yu said tremblingly. "Besides, I have some previous chat logs that I can show you."

The people eavesdropping outside gritted their teeth upon hearing this. That guy actually used his lack of female admirers as an excuse.

"Kitahara, what is Plan C?"

"I haven't decided yet!"

"No, if this continues, they'll break through the last line of defense." Nojima stood up, asking anxiously. "Isn't there any other way? We carry Ami-chan's last wishes on our shoulders."

When did Ami-chan die?

Hachiman silently observed the group. After a long pause, he raised his hand. "Hey, let me make this clear first. I don't want to break up anyone's relationship. I just want to give this couple a test."

If it passes, he will prepare the money the next day; if it fails, it only means that they are not sincere.

This is a great opportunity for my best friend Mitarai to see that woman's true colors, and it can also reduce some of their resentment towards me (that's the main purpose). It's a win-win situation.

"Hachiman, do you have a solution?"

Iori's eyes suddenly lit up. She had almost forgotten that there was a strategist here. With Zhuge Hachiman on the case, they could win this round.

"It's just a small suggestion."

Hachiman smiled calmly and said, "Take this, Mitarai Yu. This is a trial, a trial to cut off your past immaturity and lead you to maturity!"

-

What moves will come next?

Yu Mitarai looked at Rie Ohashi, who was waiting, and kept glancing back at the gate with great unease. It had been two minutes since the noise stopped. Had these guys already given up?

Impossible, they're not like that.

He firmly believed that the scum of these bastards had reached a point where the world could only look on in awe and despair, and that they would never allow him to reach the highest level so easily.

Just as he was lost in his delusions of being murdered, a low noise suddenly came from the doorway, and the sound of the lock turning could be heard.

"They're here!" Mitarai Yu sat up abruptly, pulling the blanket over Ohashi Rie's head. Was she planning to go straight for the bully? These bastards!

"Mitarai, are you there?"

That voice, is it Hachiman?

Suddenly, the painful memory of being tricked earlier made his penis shrink in fear. This guy actually came up with such a despicable trick to deceive him.

"Do you know where Iori and the others went? They said they were coming to find you, but when I asked them why they hadn't come back yet, they didn't reply to my text messages."

He spoke slowly, and the doubt in his tone made Mitarai laugh disdainfully. He already knew this guy was a master of deception, and he didn't even know where they were. Weren't they with you?

He won't fall for it; they'll put him in a sack and make him play Jesus as soon as he opens the door.

Mitarai Yu sneered, "Hikigaya, you're still too hasty. You should know that without Yamamoto and the others leading the way, how would you know where he lives?"

You're helping a scumbag who deserves to die, yet you've crossed the line of human depravity.

"Hmm? Iori replied to me."
