"Did you finish organizing your luggage so quickly?"
"Yes, after all, I'm already a mature and self-reliant man now."
Amidst the conversation, Kitahara Iori led Nanaka back to the room.
But as soon as he pushed the door open, he froze like a statue, his expression completely petrified at the doorway.
What did he see?
Not only was the room filled with adult items, but the crumpled tissues by the trash bin were particularly blinding.
"Wait, Nanaka-san, let me explain..."
Iori snapped back to reality and hurriedly turned around to defend himself, but it was clearly too late.
Nanaka went from being dazed to blushing furiously, her eyes darting around awkwardly,
"Ah, haha, I-Iori is also a boy after all..."
Saying this, Nanaka ignored Iori outstretched hand, turned around, and walked away stiffly, her movements robotic, without looking back.
Iori: "......."
"So, how is it, Iori?"
"Isn't it perfect?"
At that moment, four heads peeked out from behind the door, along with Tokita and Kotobuki, both giving thumbs up.
Iori trembled all over: "..."
"Ah, I have to say, in the end, it was all thanks to Kazuma attention to detail, spotting the flaw in the room's setup. Otherwise, our perfect room wouldn't have been so perfect."
"That's right, you really saved us, Kazuma."
The two seniors sighed, recalling how at noon, Kazuma Kiryuu had also noticed that they were wearing nothing under their aprons.
"No, no, it's mainly the seniors' credit. I just did a little bit of insignificant work."
Kazuma waved her hand, smiling modestly in response.
"Oh ho, so Kazuma-kun, you were in on it too?" Iori lowered his head, making it impossible to see the expression on his face.
"Yep, see those tissues? Kazuma helped fill in the gaps." Kohei pointed towards the trash can, clearly enjoying the drama as he spoke.
"..."
Iori remained silent for a moment, then suddenly rushed forward to confront Kazuma, grabbing at his collar before letting go.
As he wrestled with Kazuma hands, his face morphed into titan, and he growled,
"KAZUMA YOU BASTARD, you're really good at playing games, huh? You're deliberately trying to set me up, aren't you?"
"Oh, is that so? Iori, you must be mistaken. We're best friends—why would I ever try to screw you over?" Kazuma denied without hesitation, his face adopting the same exaggerated, intense expression.
Nearby, watching the two of them clash again, Tokita frowned and asked,
"What's wrong, Iori? Did it fail?"
"WHY DO YOU ALL THINK THIS IS A SUCCESS? WHAT ON EARTH GIVE YOU SUCH A DELUSION, DAMMNIT!!!!!"
"Well, generally speaking, when a mother finds adult items in her child's room, she'll think the child has grown up, right?"
"THAT'S COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FROM THIS SITUATION!" Iori released Kazuma and turned to face Tokita Shinji and the others, who looked utterly clueless.
He shouted in frustration, "I just wanted a normal, ORDINARY freshman's room for someone who just started college!"
"If that's the case, you should've said so earlier," Kotobuki chided.
"I..." Iori was left speechless by Kotobuki blame-shifting remark.
With a sigh, he said weakly
"Forget it. I was an idiot for asking you guys for help. I'll handle the rest myself. Just take all this stuff away."
"Are you sure you want to get rid of all of it?"
"Yes, I don't want Nanaka-san to keep misunderstanding me."
As Kitahara Iori spoke, he began tidying up the room, but then he heard Tokita Shinji voice again.
"But Kotobuki mentioned earlier that to celebrate your entrance into college, he planned to give each of you a DVD."
"Oh?" Kitahara Iori eyes instantly sharpened as he turned around.
"We're getting one too?" Imamura Kohei asked in surprise.
"Of course! After all, you're all our beloved juniors!" Kotobuki replied without hesitation.
"Thanks for the offer, but I'll pass," Kazuma Kiryuu said.
"Why? Kotobuki and I have some great DVDs in our collection!" Tokita Shinji asked, puzzled.
"Because I'm more of a hands-on kind of guy," Kazuma replied with a calm, indifferent expression.
"Ah, right, we forgot you've had a girlfriend before," the two seniors recalled that among the three juniors, not everyone was inexperienced.
Kitahara Iori: "..."
Imamura Kohei: "..."
Damn it, how did this guy manage to stab us in the back again?
"So, you're not joining us for the DVD selection either?"
"Nope, sorry."
"That's fine."
...
As he walked out of the room, Kazuma glanced back at the door and shook his head slightly.
Watching adult films is something you do with a girl to learn together, or just by yourself in your room. What's the point of watching it with a bunch of guys?
After all, this isn't a dormitory.
Turning his gaze away, Kazuma walked down the corridor, planning to take advantage of the time while Kitahara Iori and the others were watching the video to go ahead and improve his relationship with the Kotegawa sisters.
However, before he could take more than a few steps, he ran into Kotegawa Chisa, who was walking towards him.
"Kazuma? Are you going to get something?"
"No, I was planning to go and help you guys. After all, Iori and the others are enough for tidying up the room."
Kazuma explained, then glanced at the small wooden cabinet that Chisa was holding.
"By the way, Chisa, what's that?"
"Ah, this was something I was planning to throw away, but I wanted to ask if Iori needed it."
"Are you going to take it over now?"
"Yes, why?"
"Then I suggest you wait for a while, or it might be better if I take it over. Iori isn't available right now," Kazuma kindly suggested.
"Not available?"
"Yeah."
Kazuma didn't explain why Iori wasn't available, which left Chisa somewhat puzzled.
But soon, just as she was about to ask Kazuma to help deliver it, she faintly heard strange noises coming from Iori room.
When she thought about what Kazuma had said about Iori being inconvenient...
Chisa face darkened as if she had realized something.
Seeing this, Kazuma was also at a loss for words.
'Those guys, watching videos is one thing, but couldn't they at least turn the volume down a bit?'
'Sorry, Iori, this really isn't my fault!'
After a brief silence, Kotegawa Chisa suddenly tilted her head slightly, her cute face blooming with a bright and radiant smile.
"Kazuma, could you do me a favor?"
"What is it?"
