"Ah~ I've revived! I've revived!"
"Seriously, this stuff actually works..."
Half an hour later, Miyazawa Yu was fully recovered, able to run and jump.
Seeing him stretching his arms and legs like nothing happened, Kitahara Iori was deeply impressed by the pink protein mix and couldn't help but prepare a bottle for himself to taste.
However, he only tasted a mouth of strawberry flavor and nothing else, feeling it was even worse than beer.
"Yu, why don't you go back to your room and rest a bit more? It wouldn't be good if your body was injured!"
"Mhm, lunch later, I'll bring it up to you..."
"Uwaah... such great treatment~"
Both Chisa and Nanaka-san looked at him with ultra-gentle eyes. Miyazawa Yu waved his hand, embarrassed, and explained: "It's okay. I was just exhausted. With SILVERMAN GYM's special protein mix and supplements, I'm completely fine now!"
"Really?"
"Mhm..."
Raising his arms and spreading them wide, he used Sakura Hibiki and Soryuin Akemi, who were hanging from his biceps, as weights and immediately did squats. "Even this is fine!"
"Eh? Why did I unconsciously hang on! But it's great that Yu-bro is okay! Thank you for saving us!"
"You're welcome. Ensuring the safety of guests is naturally the responsibility of us dive guides. I'm just sorry that you had to encounter such a thing..."
"Well~ no one wants something like this to happen..."
Bracing herself, Soryuin Akemi sat directly on Miyazawa Yu shoulder and calmly comforted him: "Let's dive together again next time, Yu-nii."
"No problem! No problem! But it might have to wait until next summer vacation, hahaha!"
The guests weren't angry because of the accident. Cute high school girls truly were angels!
Putting Sakura Hibiki on his other shoulder, Miyazawa Yu laughed heartily without any pressure. Satomi Tachibana, watching the scene, found that she couldn't find any sense of incongruity at all.
However, Kitahara Iori face instantly became green with envy and hatred—although it was the goodwill Yu earned by risking his life, seeing this guy getting close to beautiful girls made him really upset!
And he wondered if it was just his imagination, but it seemed like Yu luck with women had been reinforced. What happened to the excessive fitness only attracting the same sex!
"Oh my! Yu, are you okay already?"
"Mhm, as everyone can see, I'm in perfectly healthy condition!"
"That's good..."
Pushing the door open from outside, Kotobuki Ryujirou looked up and saw Yu, who was supposed to be half-dead, carrying guests and acting wild.
Although the sight was a bit mind-boggling, upholding the large-hearted nature unique to the Pab club, he completely ignored the numerous things to complain about and only cared about the other person's physical condition.
Fortunately, the final result wasn't a death-flare. It seemed like things could have a perfect ending!
Looking at Kotobuki-senpai's relieved expression, Miyazawa Yu suddenly realized that since being carried back, he hadn't seen either Ryujirou or Toshio-uncle.
"Kotobuki-senpai, where are Toshio-uncle and Tokita-senpai?"
"They are still at the Coastal Management Department filling out forms. Finding a hammerhead shark in shallow water is a serious safety incident. This area will likely be sealed off for the next few months."
"I see, so diving will be postponed until the latter half of the year..."
His expression instantly became gloomy. Although the Pab club's main activity wasn't diving, Miyazawa Yu was quite fond of the Izu sea!
It was such a shame to not be able to dive for a full six months!
"You! You're thinking about diving after encountering such an incident! Aren't you afraid?"
Laughing heartily, Kotobuki Ryujirou stepped forward and patted Yu shoulder twice, suddenly realizing how fast this year's newcomers had grown. He was now capable of handling things on his own!
"Well~ if it were just myself, the shark should be the one who's afraid..."
Setting the girls down, Miyazawa Yu sat casually at the dining table and organized his words for a few seconds.
"But if I'm with everyone from the Pab club, I still feel a bit afraid afterward, so I will redouble my efforts to protect everyone!"
"Oh! So spirited! What a reliable junior!"
"But this promotion is basically ruined. Although we took quite a few photos, the diving service is gone..."
His coolness lasted less than three seconds. Talking about the swimming ban, Miyazawa Yu immediately thought of his collaborative business that had gone bankrupt before it even started.
The small money that flew away instantly turned him from a sunny, strong man into a gloomy parasite.
Damn it! It was clearly a simple and highly efficient win-win-win way to make money, but now it was cut short.
Was he destined to work part-time for the rest of his life!
Oh, merciful Heaven, why so cruel to me!
"About that! It might not be the case just yet~"
"Azusa-senpai! Why are you out of bed! Go lie down!"
"Well, well~ Yu is already fine, so how can I possibly continue to be listless—"
Still a bit shaky, Azusa Hamaoka appeared in the hall, forcing herself to be spirited, leaning on the doorframe.
Facing both Miyazawa Yu and Nanaka, who simultaneously reached out their hands to her, she chose to lean towards the latter without hesitation!
"Everyone! I found something good when I was looking through the underwater camera~"
"Oh! Let me see!"
"Uwaah! The photos are so clear. If we sell the copyright, we'll probably make a fortune!"
At her call, everyone in the hall became interested, and the pictures in the camera did not disappoint them.
It was a burst of photos. Azusa Hamaoka seemed to have accidentally triggered the shutter button while being dragged by Nanaka Kotegawa to evade into the safe zone.
The content of the photos was the moment Miyazawa Yu and the hammerhead shark collided heads. The most primal savagery of both parties was perfectly recorded. It felt more than enough to sell to a museum as evidence of human atavism.
"So big! It must be close to four meters long, right?"
"So that was the situation back then. This length should be an adult hammerhead shark. It's a miracle Yu managed to knock it out!"
"I didn't think much at the time. I was just focused on fighting fire with fire..."
Miyazawa Yu himself was shocked. He hadn't realized he was punching above his weight when he started the collision, but it was enough that the result was perfect!
"Everyone... what are you looking at?"
"Ah! Toshio-uncle, what did the Coastal Management Department say? How long will this area be closed off!"
"Hmm... it's regrettable. This area will be a swimming exclusion zone from today until winter."
Walking earnestly into the crowd, Kotegawa Toshio rubbed Miyazawa Yu head and then became serious, thanking him: "Thank you, Yu!"
"No, no, no! This is just what I should do!"
"Don't say that. No one is obliged to put themselves in danger for others!"
His hand was tightly clasped. Miyazawa Yu could feel Toshio-uncle's hand trembling. This emotion was post-fear.
"But! I like Nanaka-san. That will never change. Even if I had to do it ten thousand times, I would still choose to do this!"
"...Is that so."
He didn't expect him to be able to express his feelings so frankly. Nanaka Kotegawa's head instantly turned red like a cooked Boston lobster.
Under her father's astonished gaze and the attention of everyone present.
Her eyes instantly spun like a mosquito coil, and her entire body, along with Azusa Hamaoka, fell straight backward.
Fortunately, Yoshiwara Aina was quick-witted and propped her small body behind the former, preventing a tragic accident that would have ended their joy.
"Time flies so fast. Has Nanaka also found her destination..."
A girl's blush surpasses everything. As a father, Kotegawa Toshio could tell at a glance if his daughter was smitten.
Coupled with the toilet lid he fixed a month ago, perhaps he would have grandchildren in less than a year and a half!
"Everyone! Let's have a drinking party! To celebrate Yu safe return!"
"Oh oh oh! I'll go notify everyone in the Pab club! Everyone from SILVERMAN GYM, please stay too!"
"Remember to specifically remind them not to take off their clothes!"
Since things had come to this, according to the Pab club's tradition, they held drinking parties even when nothing happened. All the more reason to celebrate such a major accident ending in safe return!
Although it wasn't evening yet, they could just hold two parties, one leading straight into the night!
"Ah! Right..."
Opening a case of iced beer and placing it in Azusa Hamaoka hands, Miyazawa Yu finally recalled a certain pervert who had been constantly disconnected.
"Hibiki, I trouble you all!"
"Yes—leave it to us!"
Having already pleaded with Akemi and Ayaka, the three soft, fragrant, beautiful high school girls huddled close to Kohei's ear and spoke shyly in unison.
"Hey, Onii-chan~"
"!!!"
His bloodshot eyes snapped open like a horror movie camera zoom. Imamura Kohei looked at the beautiful girls of different styles, his lips trembling non-stop.
"Again... again! I'll do anything! Please do it again!"
"Mhm? We can, Kohei Onii-chan~"
"Poof!"
The shy, cool-toned young lady plus the double energetic Gyaru set instantly shattered Imamura Kohei's health bar with their Moe attributes. He convulsed and sprayed blood continuously, clearly entering a near-death state.
"A-lala, it seems we were a bit too enthusiastic!"
"Then what should we do! He's spraying so much blood! Will he die?"
"It's okay. Just give him a little restorative..."
Letting this guy die from Moe was too easy on him. Miyazawa Yu pulled out a large green bottle and pushed it into Kohei's mouth, administering a health potion.
"Everyone! Let's get high! Ayaka, put down the beer! Go drink your protein mix!"
