"Whew…"
"This is really…"
"Is it really possible for one person to change this much…"
The three of them sat exhausted on the steps by the beach, their underwear long torn to shreds.
Even though they gave it their all, Shiro and Iori ultimately couldn't escape the persecution of the Makeup Corpse Beast.
In the end, it was Shir's indestructible underwear that bought them a few precious seconds, or else they all might've been wiped out back at the inn!
Now the trio was finally enjoying a rare moment of peace.
"Damn it, there's no TV signal out here!"
Kouhei was in despair—at a time like this, there was no signal! His favorite idol show was about to air!
"Relax, you recorded it, didn't you?"
"Recording and live broadcasts are totally different, okay? Kamishiro, tell this idiot the difference!"
"...There's not much of a difference."
╭(°A°`)╮
Kouhei stared at Shiro in disbelief. His comrade had betrayed him?!
"What kind of look is that? I told you—I'm a normie, okay!"
Shiro was speechless. He was a normie through and through. Why wouldn't this idiot believe him?
Was it just because of that stripable Aqua figurine?
The two weren't mutually exclusive!
"Forget it."
Kouhei waved his hand, feeling he couldn't reason with these two jerks. Staring up at the starry sky, he grew a little emotional.
"It's unbelievable… I never thought I'd join a club like this."
"Haha, yeah, something I never even dared imagine before. It was rough at first, but after getting used to it, it's actually not bad!"
Shiro agreed—he was fully invested now.
Seeing the two getting sentimental, Iori also joined in.
"Is that so? From the start, I felt like this club surprisingly suited you two."
(???)
Hearing Iori speak, Shiro and Kouhei turned to stare at him in silence.
"Let's not forget the only reason I joined this club is because of you! If you hadn't dragged me along that day, I wouldn't even be here!"
"Same here! You bastard tricked me into joining!"
Their eyes were bloodshot as they recalled their first meeting with the club—something they'd never forget.
It was basically… hell from the very beginning!
(;´＿｀)
"Don't make it sound so bad! You guys are having fun now, aren't you…"
"Ha? Are you trying to deny it now, you bastard?!"
"I deny—"
"What a shameless human being!"
"Wait a second! In a way, haven't your dreams already come true?!"
Iori shouted, trying to bring the two back to their senses.
"Think carefully!
Kamishiro—you always said you wanted to go to the beach, to experience the sea, right?!
Kouhei—remember what you said before, 'After entering college, a dreamlike life awaits me'!
Think about it. Isn't this exactly like a dream?!"
!
Shiro and Kouhei were stunned. As if they suddenly understood, they both smiled slightly and turned to gaze again at the brilliant starry sky.
They weren't imagining it… They definitely sensed something like a demon behind them.
"A dreamlike life, huh…"
"So this dream is a nightmare."
"Yeah."
ROAR!
A demon pounces!
They weren't wrong—there was a demon behind them, and a drunk one at that!
Aina leapt onto all three of them alone. The absurd scene would earn applause from even ancient emperors—now that's playing hard!
"Let's compare sizes!"
"Damn it! Makeup Corpse Beast, wake up!"
"Think about your future!"
"AAAAHHH! Don't pull!"
"..."
A peaceful wave rose from the shore—a calm night made lively by their chaos~
…
Three days later—
Everyone boarded the return flight.
After partying to the max, they were all sleeping soundly. Iori and Kouhei even fought each other in their sleep.
Meanwhile, Shiro obediently leaned against Azusa's shoulder, occasionally letting his head fall into that soft place.
Azusa didn't mind at all. She even wanted him to just stay leaning there.
At the moment, she was sitting with Aina, Chisa, and Nanaka, all of them looking fondly at the trip photos.
Running with the pixelated youth,
The written diving exam,
Cooking at the villa,
Shiro's pig-head moment,
Miss Ninagawa and dolphin Titi,
The turtle family,
Messing around on the cruise ship,
The group drinking event,
Aina pulling down Shiro and the others' pants,
Etc…
"AAAAAHHH!!! Why are those pictures in here too?!"
Aina's face turned bright red, her eyes spiraling into hypnosis mode!
She had spent three whole days trying to mentally recover! And now all those memories came rushing back!
On the day after the drinking party, she definitely knew she'd done something outrageous!
But how could she, as a girl, say something so embarrassing out loud?! She could only pretend she lost her memory and move on!
Yet those three idiots kept "reminding" her like they were mentally unwell!
AAHHHHH!!!
Who wants to remember that kind of thing?! And it's not like she even did anything!
At least not to Shiro or Kouhei! She clearly remembered she had grabbed Iori's stuff…
(｡•́︿•̀｡)
Uuuuuu!!!
She hadn't even said anything about being unmarriageable yet!
"Hahaha, don't cry, don't cry. This is youth~"
Azusa laughed and patted Aina's little head—these kinds of things were perfect for deepening relationships.
(´꒳`)
"My youth doesn't need any mosaic censorship, thank you very much!"
Aina cried. It felt like her youth had gone off track from the very beginning.
She thought that after escaping that disgusting club, she'd have a rose-colored youth—but why did it turn yellow?!
(Note: "yellow" refers to lewd or adult content in Chinese slang.)
These photos could totally be used as covers for adult magazines!
"The contrast is insane…"
Even the usually airheaded Chisa looked away—on one side were normal diving pics, and on the other… basically nude shots. Good enough for collateral on a loan.
"Haha, don't mind it too much~
I like both sides!"
Nanaka smiled and gently stroked Chisa's hair.
(˘︶˘).｡.:*♡
Little Chisa smells so nice!
"Now this is what PaB is all about!"
Seeing that, Azusa leapt up and wrapped her arms around Chisa's neck.
But in her excitement, she forgot something important—
Shiro had been resting his head on her soft spot!
When she jumped up suddenly, she ended up yanking Shiro up with her, the seatbelt choking his neck tightly!
{{(°△°; ")}}
WTF!
Who?! Who's trying to assassinate me while I sleep?!
This turbulence is definitely the pilot's fault!
That damn pilot—are you even qualified?! If I could, I'd storm into the cockpit and kick you out myself!
