Ficool

Chapter 227 - Substitute of Carnage!

The moment the answer was revealed, the whole room went dead silent.

The five who voted "no sexual experience" had expressions like they'd been emotionally wrecked.

Everything Kamashiro had thought about, the others were thinking too. They scanned everyone they assumed was a virgin with suspicion.

Five people with sexual experience?! Seriously?!

At this point, denial meant nothing. The facts were facts.

Iori didn't believe anyone in that room could lie under the sacred power of the lie detector.

Which meant that aside from Kamashiro, Azusa san, and the two senpai someone else had betrayed them!

How could you big-eyed, innocent-looking people have lost your virginity?!

Iori was having a breakdown, especially because he wasn't one of them!

Deep breaths, Iori. Calm down.

After forcing himself to chill, Iori turned his focus to the most important task:

Find the traitor!

Leaving out Kamashiro's side with four people, they had five to investigate…

First, eliminate Kohei!

That guy's obsession with 2D girls made it impossible he'd do something like this.

Wait!

What if he counted doing stuff with his anime girl cups as sex?!

Worried, Iori leaned close to Kohei and asked with a tense expression, "Hey… you do know what sexual experience actually means, right?"

"Of course!" Kohei snapped, offended. "It's when two 3D people, y'know, and then…"

"Okay, okay, you can stop."

Iori didn't want to hear the rest. As soon as Kohei said "two 3D people," he knew there was no need to hear more.

Good. Kohei, cleared.

Next…

He turned to Aina, who wore an innocent, contemplative look.

Recalling all the weird stuff she'd done before, Iori immediately dismissed her too.

A girl obsessed with makeup like a corpse wouldn't be interested in that kind of thing!

Unless it was someone like Yamamoto-level attractive… only then could they accept her "zombie" style…

Although Chisa did say that when she bumped into Kohei and Aina at the beach, Aina's makeup looked really fresh and natural—so good she almost didn't recognize her.

Huh… Iori kinda wanted to see that. He'd have to make Aina recreate it as a punishment someday.

Which left just the two sisters: Chisa and Nanaka.

Looking at their vastly different chest sizes, Iori started to sweat.

It felt like he'd just found out his pure first love had been defiled.

And honestly, that's not far from the truth.

"You bastard!!!"

Iori suddenly lunged at Kamashiro, grabbing him by the neck in full-on vigilante mode.

Kamashiro: Σ(っ °Д °;)っ

"Dude, what the hell?! Why are you choking me all of a sudden?!"

Kamashiro tried desperately to pry Kitahara's iron grip off. That guy had scary strength sometimes!

"It was you, wasn't it?! It had to be you, you bastard! You and Nanaka-san… Unforgivable! Absolutely unforgivable!"

A dark aura rose from Iori, his eyes bloodshot as he muttered to himself.

Just now, after using the process of elimination, he realized that the only person who matched the condition… was Nanaka-san!

Chisa?

Someone who's practically dedicated her whole life to the sea? That's impossible!

He'd rather believe that Kamishiro is still a virgin than believe that Chisa has any sexual experience!

Kamishiro, who was being strangled, was dumbfounded by what Kitahara said.

Me and Nanaka-nee?

Why don't I know about this amazing thing?!

But when he seriously analyzed it… Nanaka-san did seem like the most likely candidate.

Could it really be Nanaka-san?

Nooooooo!!!

Kamishiro couldn't accept this reality—this was the precious girl he'd been longing for over ten years!

His fantasy had just shattered. (*꒦ິД꒦ີ)

"Nanaka-nee, tell me this isn't true!"

The news was too explosive, and Kamishiro had completely lost interest in playing the game. He rushed in front of Nanaka-nee, desperate for answers.

It was a suppository, right?

Like with Azusa, it was some sort of suppository, right?!

"It's true, Kamishiro~ With the lie detector in play, I don't think anyone would lie~"

However, Nanaka completely misunderstood what Kamishiro meant. She just thought he couldn't accept losing the game and having to drink.

Smiling, she patted Kamishiro on the head to comfort him.

Although… that comfort didn't feel very sincere…

While she was reassuring Kamishiro, Nanaka's eyes were locked tightly on Iori, who was doubting his entire life.

Behind her, the silhouette of a wrathful asura began to slowly materialize.

It was known that she had no experience in that area. Kohei and Aina likely didn't either.

And from the results, it seemed like nothing had happened between Chisa and Iori.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be five people with experience—it would be six!

So… did Iori sleep with someone else?!

At that thought, the asura phantom behind Nanaka nearly became tangible.

One word echoed in her mind:

Cheating!!!

Nanaka could already picture Chisa silently shedding tears upon learning this.

Unforgivable!

Absolutely unforgivable!

Kamishiro: {{(°△°;"}}

Kamishiro, who had been standing beside Nanaka-nee and was just about to ask who the man was, silently took two steps back upon feeling her terrifying aura.

Looks like… that was a past she didn't want to revisit.

Then let me be the one to heal her!

"Nanaka-nee! I'll help you!"

Kamishiro once again stepped forward and held Nanaka-nee's hand, speaking with deep emotion. He had made up his mind—no matter what happened in the past ten years, Nanaka-nee would always be the shining moon in his heart!

"Is that so? Then I'll be counting on you, Kamishiro!"

Nanaka calmly accepted Kamishiro's offer. She did, in fact, need someone to help her control Iori.

And so, with entirely different motives, the two of them reached a certain consensus at that moment—

Send the scumbag to meet God!

Meanwhile,

Aina's brain was also running at full speed.

From what she knew, Chisa and herself were completely out of the question. No doubt about that.

Then there was Nanaka-san…

Back during girls' night, Nanaka-san had actually revealed she had zero experience in that area, so she was ruled out too!

That meant the final candidates were Iori and Kohei.

"..."

Aina's mouth twitched. There was no need to guess!!!

Her best bro Kohei? He wasn't interested in any real-life girls unless they were voice actresses!

And even with voice actresses… their trip to Okinawa had already proved it,his feelings were purely that of a fan for his idol!

He hadn't even considered getting closer. Aina figured that was probably because he thought he wasn't worthy.

More accurately, he probably thought no one was worthy. Kohei practically revered Maya san as a goddess…

So how could someone that pure possibly have had sexual experience?!

She'd never believe it even if she was beaten to death!

Thus, the conclusion was all too clear. Even if she wanted to fool herself, she couldn't.

Iori—the boy she had a crush on was no longer a virgin!

Damn it! My youth!!

Aina just couldn't understand. Wasn't his high school an all-boys school? How the hell did this bastard lose his virginity?

Aside from her and Chisa, he didn't really interact with any other girls so when could it have happened?!

Driven to madness, Aina started replaying every frame of her memories since she joined the diving club.

Until finally!

She remembered the one moment that seemed the most likely!

That street filled with desire—Kabukicho!!!

Where no emotions were necessary, only money was needed to satisfy the desires of men and women alike.

That's it!

It had to be there!

Only that place could fulfill all the conditions.

But if that really was the case… then the things Iori said to them back then were they all lies?

At that moment,

Aina began to doubt herself.

Aside from her chest, in what way was she inferior to those women?!

My youthful, pink-colored youth

Meanwhile, the other party involved Chisa was completely confused as she looked at everyone around her.

She didn't understand what had happened to make everyone act so weird. It was just a drinking game, right? Didn't they usually drink even more than this?

Clearly, natural airhead Chisa just assumed that they didn't want to drink and were overreacting.

As for the virginity discussion, Chisa was probably the calmest of the five.

She was a bit surprised to hear that Kohei or Iori weren't virgins anymore, but it didn't really feel like it had much to do with her.

Hmm… probably not a big deal.

"Haha! That's the fun of anonymous games. Drink up, drink up!"

Azusa laughed loudly from the side. As the devil she was, she could clearly see what everyone was thinking.

And precisely because she could see it, she found it all so entertaining.

She had already prepared herself to drink when she chose this side, but who would've thought there'd be such a surprise.

What a pleasant twist~

Upon hearing this,

Everyone silently let go of their suspicions and prepared to use the next rounds of questions to deduce the truth.

"Here you go, Iori~"

Unlike the miserable Kamishiro who had to pour his own drink, a strong glass of liquor was already placed in front of Iori just as he reached for a drink.

And it was personally handed to him by Nanaka.

However…

Kamishiro, surprisingly, didn't feel jealous when he saw this because

"Ah, thank you, Nanaka-san. Sorry to trouble you…?!"

As Iori accepted the glass, he saw the asura spirit looming behind Nanaka-nee!

Those asura eyes were filled with murderous intent.

Whoosh!

Iori suddenly turned his head away, his hand holding the glass trembling violently.

He must be drunk.

He had to be drunk.

How could a person suddenly have a ghostly stand appear behind them? This wasn't JoJo like that bastard Kamashiro always ranted about.

Hallucination. Just a hallucination!

Iori kept telling himself this over and over. As a diehard materialist, he absolutely refused to believe such things existed!

However… he didn't dare look back at Nanaka-san to confirm.

Those asura eyes were just way too terrifying!

"Iori, hold it steady. Don't spill it~"

As Iori was deep in thought, two hands gently steadied his trembling cup.

"Oh, thanks, you—Aina you…?!"

Iori instinctively looked up, only to see Aina wearing the exact same smile as Nanaka-nee… and also accompanied by an asura stand!!!

Why do you have one too?!

And it was a full cakey make-up asura!

This must be your true form, right?!

Iori blinked in disbelief. He was starting to feel like his brain had gone haywire.

He really must've gotten drunk…

But he had only had a few beers earlier!

This unusual scene startled Iori so much that he hurriedly tugged on Kamishiro's arm and asked, "Kamishiro, did you see the Stand behind Nanaka san and the Cakey?!"

"..."

Upon hearing that, Kamishiro's expression twitched as he looked behind Iori where Nanaka and Aina were standing.

He hadn't seen them at first, but the moment Iori asked… he saw them!

Those two Asura were still smiling at him!

You bastard, don't drag me into this!

(;?_?)

"Uh, I didn't see anything…"

Kamishiro turned his head away—obviously, he didn't want to face those two Asura directly.

Especially Aina!

Why did the Asura take on the form of the Makeup Asura?! It was even more terrifying!

"Huh? But I was sure I saw—"

"Just drink already!"

Before Iori could finish, Kamishiro shoved a cup into his hands.

If you get drunk, the Asura will disappear!

Gulp.

Caught off guard, Iori instinctively took a big swig, and then—

PFFFFTT!!!

Kamishiro: {{(°△°; "}}!

Feeling the wetness and stench on his face, Kamishiro was stunned.

(▼皿▼#)

Kamishiro was just about to storm over and confront Iori. Sure, he forced him to drink, but this was just cruel!

Σ_(???」∠) Ugh!

"What kind of liquor is this? Why is it so spicy?!"

??!!

Kamishiro suddenly stopped in his tracks, dumbfounded. Then he poured himself a cup and tasted it.

The alcohol content was spot on and actually slightly lower than usual.

Spicy?!

How's that possible?!

At this point, the senpai were also staring at Iori, shocked.

They had assumed Iori choked because Kamishiro had made him drink so abruptly.

But it turns out… it was because the drink was "spicy"?!

The same Iori who used to drink the "Water of Life" with them now thinks fruit juice is spicy?

Oh no!

This is serious!

Tokita: "Have you not been drinking much lately?!"

Iori: "I've been drinking every day."

Kotobuki: "What have you been drinking?"

Iori: "Uh, mostly Orion beer."

The Okinawa-exclusive brand—barely stronger than fruit juice.

Hearing that, the two senpais immediately pinpointed the problem!

"And you call yourself a PaB member?!"

"How could you stoop to low alcohol drinks and skip on your self training!"

The two seniors looked like disappointed parents dealing with a useless child.

Iori suddenly felt a bit ashamed though, why is "self-training" in the Diving Club all about hard liquor?!

"In any case, drink this!"

"And strip after!"

The two seniors shoved two huge cups into Iori's hands, they were going to bring him back to his peak form!

"Wait! I'm thinking about a really important question right now!"

Iori tried to refuse. Right now, he needed to focus on those Asura behind Nanaka and the Cakey!

From the experiment just now, he realized he wasn't drunk.

So those things… must be physical manifestations of resentment.

Which means—what the hell did he do?!

Drinking won't help with thinking!

However—

Iori forgot one thing.

Something very important.

Do you know whose drinks you just refused?

That was PaB's alcohol!

Do you think refusing PaB's drinks is allowed?

And those drinks were handed over by the club president and vice president personally!

One minute later, Iori was already naked, dancing on the table.

Just like his first night at the club!

Seeing this, Aina turned to Kamishiro with some confusion. "Didn't we also drink strong liquor earlier?"

She clearly remembered vomiting all over Iori because she'd had too much of the "Water of Life."

(;?_?)

Kamishiro stared at her, black lines forming on his face. "Is it possible that… because you drank all the strong stuff, the rest of us only had beer?"

"..."

(???)

Smack!

Aina covered her face in anguish. She never should've asked that!

Next time, could someone be a little more tactful with the truth?!
