"Mmm... I feel heavy. Is it sleep paralysis?"
The all-night revelry finally ended around one or two in the morning. When Miyazawa Yu woke up the next morning, he felt unusually heavy in both his eyelids and body.
Specifically, it felt like he was clamped between something very soft, making even breathing quite difficult!
"Mmm-wuwu~ Don't move. Just hug for a little longer, just a little bit—"
"Ah... and it's a female ghost. Wait a minute, why does this line sound so familiar!"
So it was a female ghost. Then there was nothing to fear. Everything was negotiable as long as it wasn't a male ghost causing the sleep paralysis... Just kidding!
Isn't that Azusa-senpai's voice! What's the meaning of a plot that happened before repeating itself! Was she jealous that he had gained Nanaka-san's favor!
"Ugh..."
Struggling hard to break free from Azusa Hamaoka face-wash sleep paralysis, Miyazawa Yu crawled and stumbled to the corner of the wall, his large eyes filled with tears, like a violated respectable woman.
"Azusa-senpai!, a man and a woman! I can't believe you would do such a thing! How am I going to face people outside from now on!"
"Eh~ it's not a man and a woman alone! Yu will be able to get married, don't worry."
Smiling with a cat mouth and giving a thumbs-up, Azusa Hamaoka was sleepy-eyed. Her cleavage was bright red, clearly from something pressing against it for a long time.
"That's not the problem here!"
His vision clearing up, Miyazawa Yu saw that it was true. He had been dragged into Iori isolation shack again at some point.
Touching below, good! His lucky briefs were still with him this time. What a silver lining!
"Hmm~ Hmm! Time to get up. Oh! Are you guys talking about diving? That's great, that's great!"
Watching Azusa Hamaoka-senpai, who was only wearing a bra, run off to mess around with Iori and the others, Miyazawa Yu looked at Shinji Tokita with a face full of question marks.
The latter, seeing his look, immediately gave a reliable smile and admitted: "That's right! Kotobuki and I moved you this time too!"
"As expected of the seniors! Forget it. What was the reason this time?"
"Well! Last night, Azusa said she had a nightmare and couldn't sleep, and wanted to find Nanaka..."
Explaining this, Kotobuki Ryujirou shrugged, "But Nanaka was already occupied by Chisa, so we brought you over instead!"
"...So I was a large calming pillow?"
"The effect was quite good. Azusa fell asleep quickly while holding you, but you seemed a bit short of breath and kept kicking your legs."
Of course, he was short of breath! Being clamped between such large mountains! Someone with a slightly smaller lung capacity would have been a goner long ago!
Miyazawa Yu stared speechlessly at the seniors, trying to make them feel ashamed, but with little effect.
Sighing, Miyazawa Yu had no choice but to get up, wash up, and run to the kitchen to complain to Nanaka-san!
"Nanaka-san! Azusa-senpai slept hugging me all night! I almost never saw you again!"
"What?"
The peak of getting a benefit and still acting aggrieved might be this, right?
Nanaka Kotegawa looked at the disheveled Yu and honestly couldn't muster an ounce of pity, but since he had just saved her yesterday, she still reluctantly criticized Azusa Hamaoka a little.
It turned out that Miyazawa Yu was genuinely easy to placate. A little comforting immediately calmed him down, and he voluntarily took over her work.
Truthfully, since Yu arrived, Nanaka Kotegawa felt her workload had been halved!
If she could marry him...
"Hmm, Nanaka-san, what are you thinking about?"
Noticing that the gentle gaze beside her had changed slightly, Miyazawa Yu looked up confusedly, not forgetting to scoop the pan-fried dumplings into the plate with his hands.
"Nothing... Chisa slept with me last night and talked a lot. Did you encourage her to come?"
"Mhm! That's great. Chisa seemed a bit conscious about not being outgoing enough, so I thought that after talking, she might be able to face her personality."
"Is that so—"
A thoughtful wingman's way of thinking, fully automatic response, equipped with the latest home service module, and a figure that can be big or small, suitable for going out or for home use—there's always a fit for you!
Why hadn't she noticed so many good qualities in Yu before...
While saying nothing, Nanaka Kotegawa moved her gaze away, but the more she thought about it, the more she felt she should lure Yu into her home.
But wouldn't that be a suspicion of an old cow eating young grass? After all, she was a much older sister.
"Yosh! Sorted! Serving the meal!"
Just as Nanaka Kotegawa was blushing and lost in thought, Miyazawa Yu had finished plating and was ready to feed the hungry little pigs in the activity room.
The former glanced over and noticed something different.
"Wait a minute... why are the meals separated today? Didn't everyone usually eat together?"
"Hmm? Isn't it obvious?"
Turning back in confusion, Miyazawa Yu explained with a full smile: "The biggest plate is for Chisa and Aina, the smaller one is for Iori and Kohei, and as for this plate..."
Looking at the dark dish covered in ketchup, a dangerous curve formed at the corner of his mouth.
"That's the seniors' breakfast, of course!"
"Such a strong desire for revenge! You can't do that, Yu!"
"Understood..."
Nanaka-san was good in every way, just a little too gentle. Seeing this, Miyazawa Yu had no choice but to put the ketchup-covered dumplings back into the pan with water to remove the sweetness, planning to save them for himself later.
"Clear the way! Breakfast is here. There's more if you want!"
"Arigato! Yu, look, Miyakojima in Okinawa! It would be great if we could dive there. It must be beautiful!"
"Are you guys already thinking about where to dive next? Demon King's Palace, what a cool name..."
Taking the magazine Aina handed him, Miyazawa Yu sat down cross-legged and looked at it with a tilted head for a long time, but all he could read between the lines were two big words: Very Expensive!
Unlike the shallow sea right outside their door, the dive spot they were looking at was far out in the ocean, which meant they had to take a boat.
Adding in travel expenses, food, accommodation, and miscellaneous fees, this could also be summed up in two words for a sustainably poor college student—
Bankruptcy!!!
"Kotobuki-senpai, can the activity fee for diving in Miyakojima be reimbursed?"
The role of the senior came into play at this moment. Completely forgetting his intention to poison the seniors just now, Miyazawa Yu, moved by the idea, immediately slid to his knees in front of Kotobuki Ryujirou, who managed the finances, hoping he could organize a club activity to reimburse part of the cost!
"Hmm~ It seems Yu didn't suffer any psychological trauma. Since everyone wants to go diving..."
"We actually have a way, but you'll have to get your diving license first. The dive spots in Miyakojima are quite deep, exceeding the scope for beginners!"
"Really! That's great! I'm going to get my license!"
Jumping up in excitement, a little danger never deterred the trendsetters of the Pab club. Yoshiwara Aina immediately decided to catch up on her diving knowledge.
"Wait a minute, I have a bad feeling about this, Iori..."
"You're right, Kohei!"
Completely failing to grasp Aina's excitement, Kitahara Iori instantly smelled a conspiracy.
If he remembered correctly, the last time the seniors said they could get money, they immediately sold them out to embarrass themselves naked.
Was it going to be like this again!
"Alright! Yu, Kohei, and Iori, go prepare some loose-fitting clothes. We have a club activity that requires them later."
"Eh? Can we wear our own clothes?"
"Of course! Just wear whatever is comfortable for exercise!"
"..."
Clothes comfortable for exercise, huh? Flipping through the diving magazine twice before closing it, Miyazawa Yu clapped his hands and ran back to the room, pulling out a certain loose-fitting garment.
Ten minutes later, Iori and Kohei, changed into sportswear, returned to the room. Before they could say anything, they saw Yu sitting there composedly, wearing only triangle briefs.
"Poof!"
"Yu, what kind of look is that? Are you going to compete in sumo wrestling?"
Miyazawa Yu swept a look of contempt at these two naive bastards, wearing an expression of "a man without shame is invincible."
"Laughing at what~ Anyway, any activity organized by the seniors won't be proper. Instead of getting excited, finding sportswear, and then having to take it off, it's cleaner to just embarrass myself proactively!"
"Hiss... that makes sense!"
"Yu, you actually thought that far ahead!"
The smiles on their faces froze. Thinking about how the ordinary sportswear they excitedly put on would definitely be taken off, Iori and Kohei looked suddenly enlightened.
In the Pab club, as long as your expectation threshold was low enough, even misfortune could feel like happiness. This was a wise move that would cover all bases!
"So, what kind of seniors do you think we are..."
Speechless and exasperated, Kotobuki Ryujirou and Shinji Tokita exchanged a look, then pulled out tennis rackets from behind their backs and overlapped them: "Actually, we're going to have a tennis match this time!"
"Hold on! Why are we suddenly playing tennis!"
"Exactly! It's one thing not to dive, but not even drinking! What are the seniors plotting! Confess truthfully!"
As the saying goes, if things are unusual, there must be a demon. The seniors organizing extracurricular activities to enrich the club members' daily lives was such a lie that only newcomers like Aina would believe it!
As seasoned veterans of the Pab club, Iori and Kohei increasingly felt that Miyazawa Yu approach was completely correct!
