"Ugh... my head hurts so much, and it smells so good..."
When she woke up the next morning, Azusa Hamaoka drowsily propped up her upper body and looked down to find that her bikini had disappeared.
However, it seemed she must have thrown it off in her sleep. There were no suspicious handprints on her body, and wiggling her butt, she found nothing uncomfortable.
From this, she could basically determine that Yu was still a gentleman, at least he hadn't taken advantage of her when she was vulnerable.
But more important than all of that...
"Ah~ Bikini Nanaka! You're an angel..."
Plunging her head into Nanaka Kotegawa's embrace, Azusa Hamaoka had a foolish grin on her face, drool already dripping from the corner of her mouth.
If it had been before, she would absolutely not have had a legitimate opportunity to snuggle with Nanaka, but now she could snuggle all she wanted and to her heart's content!
Ah~ this enchanting scent. Even if her whole body felt scattered when she woke up, it was worth it!!!
"What's that noise? Ah, Azusa-senpai, are you awake already?"
"Yes~ what is it, Yu?"
"Why does Azusa-senpai seem to be having so much fun with a reward meant for me..."
Pushing the door open and walking in, Miyazawa Yu looked at Azusa Hamaoka, who was addicted to Nanaka-san, with a face full of disdain.
Even he hadn't been so presumptuous as to demand a face-wash last night. Azusa-senpai truly exploited gender benefits to the max!
"Mhm... good morning, Yu, Azusa."
Held tightly by Azusa Hamaoka, Nanaka Kotegawa's eyelashes fluttered twice. She rubbed her eyes and slowly woke up. Her first words upon waking up even had a slight, trembling milky voice.
"Good morning, Nanaka-san. Breakfast will be ready after you wash up."
"Arigato, it's so nice having you, Yu!"
"Ugh..."
Seriously, this is cheating! How do you deal with a full-face attack without warning!
Miyazawa Yu heart was pierced by Nanaka-san's completely pure, gentle smile. His face instantly flushed red, and the blood flow began to surge uncontrollably.
Coupled with his girlfriend hugging her, he felt a sudden looseness in his nose and quickly rushed out the door with his head tilted back to avoid embarrassment.
"I'll go make soy milk for everyone first! You guys hurry up and get up and wash up!"
"Hmm?"
Watching Yu retreating figure, Nanaka Kotegawa tilted her head. Her newly activated CPU was clearly not ready to run complex programs yet.
Facing this natural airhead who completely countered her inner darkness, Azusa Hamaoka was already gushing with nosebleeds and had been gone for a while.
To wake up in the same bed as a swimsuit Nanaka! She could die without regrets!
"Aw~ So Aina finally bought a swimsuit and a regulator after all?"
"Yes, after all, the price was so much cheaper, I really couldn't resist buying two extra things..."
At the dining table on the other side, Yoshiwara Aina smiled sheepishly, but her hands were not slow at all.
Compared to the microwave breakfast she usually ate while renting, this freshly made, hot meat bun and soy milk was a heavenly enjoyment!
So, Iori and the others live this kind of good life? So jealous!
"Then who made all this? Nanaka-san?"
"It used to be older sister, indeed..."
Putting the last bite of the meat bun into her mouth, Chisa Kotegawa narrowed her eyes contentedly: "But now it's basically all Yu doing it. Dinner is the same."
"Eh?"
The chewing stopped. Yoshiwara Aina's eyes widened, switching back and forth between Chisa, who was completely used to being waited on, and the meat bun in her hand. She refused to believe that all of this was made by Yu.
"What's so strange about that!"
With his mouth full, Imamura Kouhei leaned back in his chair and waved his hand with a completely calm expression, comforting her: "It's okay, Aina. As long as you accept the fact that you're useless, you're invincible!"
"That's not the point! Don't you guys think Yu has completely taken over Grand Blue?"
"Completely taken over?"
Casually taking the soy milk handed to her, Chisa Kotegawa sucked on the straw, her big eyes filled with confusion, as this was already her daily routine.
"That's right! Yu is helping out at the store now, cooking for everyone, and dating Nanaka-san! Hasn't he completely taken charge!"
"Hiss... cough, cough, cough!"
Reminded by Aina, Chisa Kotegawa suddenly realized that something really seemed wrong, and she spat out all the soy milk.
Just as Aina said, Yu now not only controlled their food and drink but also held the prince hostage to command the nobles.
If she factored this in, even if her old man retired immediately, it seemed there would be no impact. In a way, wasn't this a form of invisible N-T-R (Netorare)!
"Ohayo, Chisa-chan."
"Sister! Something is wrong!"
"Hmm? What is it?"
Looking down at Chisa, who rushed into her arms with earthquake eyes, Nanaka Kotegawa's face held a smile of pure bliss—being able to snuggle with Chisa right after waking up in the morning, how wonderful!
"Our home seems to have been adjusted into an idiot who can't live without Yu!"
"Eh?"
Frowning slightly, Nanaka Kotegawa looked blankly at Iori and the others. She saw that they were all extremely serious as well, and the meat buns on the table no longer seemed appetizing.
"Yu, what's going on?"
"Well... maybe they're just starting to question their own existence."
"Ah! Yu! When did you get here!"
Kitahara Iori body shook. He turned around in shock to look at the ghost named Yu behind him. Did he overhear everything just now?
'When I completely take control of Grand Blue, I'll throw Iori out.' He couldn't possibly be thinking that, right!
In that case!
His eyes narrowed. He pulled his chair away, turned, and slid on his knees in front of Yu: "I'm sorry, Yu-sama! Please don't kick me out!"
"Huh? Iori, is your brain broken? Besides, if I hadn't come over, who would have handed you the soy milk..."
His eyebrows completely drooped. Miyazawa Yu didn't know what to say to Iori, whose inner thoughts were clearly running wild.
And taking control of Grand Blue? At least wait until he mastered the purchasing channels and connections of Uncle Toshio before even thinking about it!
"Also, I'm talking to you guys. You all worked so hard yesterday, don't you have any thoughts for today?"
"Worked hard? What hard work? Didn't we just go shopping yesterday?"
"That's right, a mask for everyone and a bunch of other odds and ends."
Sticking out his butt, Kitahara Iori glanced at the shopping bags placed by the counter, unopened because of the drinking party, and raised his head in an extremely unappealing posture: "What do you mean by 'thoughts'?"
"Of course, I mean part-time work, part-time work!"
"After all, you all chose to buy equipment even though going to Okinawa costs money, so you must have prepared for this, right?"
The wife following the husband's lead, Nanaka Kotegawa fiercely added the finishing touch to Miyazawa Yu deafening declaration about part-time work, instantly turning everyone in the room to stone—
That's right! While shopping yesterday, they only thought about buying the cheap items early, and ended up buying a lot of things they didn't really need right now.
And not only the already poor Iori and Kouhei, but even the wealthiest Chisa had her wallet emptied by the diving camera.
In other words...
"We..."
"All have to work part-time?"
Exchanging glances, Chisa Kotegawa and Yoshiwara Aina simultaneously held their heads and became depressed—
They hadn't originally planned to work part-time like Iori, and the shortfall in their pocket money was quite large, so finding a high-paying job in time for the training camp was a problem!
"Mmm! What's going on, what's going on? I feel like I missed a very exciting plot?"
"Azusa-senpai! Please introduce us to part-time jobs!"
"Oh my~"
Surrounded by her underclassmen, Azusa Hamaoka touched her lips, pretending to consider for a moment, and then said cheerfully: "A part-time job is no problem, the question is whether Chisa and Aina can accept it!"
"We can!!!"
"...The consequence of not having a spending plan~"
Looking at the tearful Aina, Miyazawa Yu pulled out his phone, glanced at the time, and reminded them: "Nanaka-san, Azusa-senpai, we need to get ready for makeup."
"Eh? Did you hire a professional makeup artist?"
"Sort of. Although I should say they're professionals in another field."
Changing out of his naked apron, Miyazawa Yu put on his clothes and waved to everyone in the store: "Then we'll be going now. You guys have to work hard!"
"Hiss... it was a naked apron! Did anyone notice that just now?"
"No..."
"I can only say it was completely unexpected!"
Taking a sharp intake of breath, Kitahara Iori eyes constantly switched between disdain and pity, and his remaining conscience finally settled on the latter.
"Not only his body, but even his soul has completely taken over Grand Blue! Hajime Yu, you bastard!"
His memory went back to the second time he walked into Grand Blue. At that time, Yu was an upright young man who would shed bloody tears upon seeing a naked apron.
But now, he was completely Pab-ified. It's truly regrettable!
