[Step 4. Exchange regulator mouthpieces]
With a fierce look, Miyazawa Yu firmly stood in front of Kotegawa Nanaka, opening his arms to sternly refuse Azusa-senpai NTR behavior.
She played for so long last night, and now she still wants to snatch him from himself. How can a person be so greedy!
"..."
Swimming in front of Miyazawa Yu, extremely displeased, Hamaoka Azusa squinted her eyes, staring at her boyfriend's upright and unwavering eyes, and suddenly the corners of her mouth slightly lifted.
Reaching out to grab the latter's arm, she took the mouthpiece out of her mouth, and then bit the other party's spare regulator into her mouth.
As for the used mouthpiece...
Looking at the regulator being stuffed toward his mouth, Miyazawa Yu certainly knew that this step was not in the normal procedure, but the respirator that Azusa-senpai had just bitten was indeed a bit too tempting.
After a series of difficult internal struggles, seeing Nanaka-nee team up with Chisa, he finally couldn't resist the temptation and bit the regulator into his mouth.
Yu this guy, he is completely controlled by Azusa-senpai...
Looking at what happened not far away, Iori Kitahara's eyes were contemptuous—
It's nothing more than just getting a girlfriend, what does this scumbag Yu have to show off!
However, in comparison...
Glancing at Chisa whose regulator was taken and tasted by Nanaka-nee, he was slightly disheartened. Why can't he do anything and is still tied down!
If he hadn't agreed to Azusa-senpai, as long as he clarified the misunderstanding with Chisa, with his looks and character, he could find seven or eight girlfriends, right!
It's a pity that there are no ifs in the world. Pulling over Aina, who was trying to escape, Iori Kitahara used his hand to point at the two groups of perverts, signaling the former to hurry up. After the training, they would be free to move.
However, from Aina's perspective, exchanging regulators, even if it's just a spare regulator, is no different from an indirect kiss!
"Ugh! Glug glug!"
Fighting back frantically, the shy girl refused to exchange regulators with Iori!
"???"
Unable to understand what these two guys were fooling around with, Kohei Imamura finally took Aina's place and started exchanging regulators with Iori while grabbing each other's collars.
"Hoo..."
Taking a long breath, a large number of bubbles exhaled from in front of her. Yoshikawa Aina retreated all the way to a safe position before patting her chest with relief and taking a breath.
At the same time, looking at the lively Pab club members in front of her, her eyes slowly became gentle—
Everyone truly likes diving. If only they could keep diving like this...
Just then, Kotegawa Nanaka had enjoyed enough, so she swam in front of everyone and knocked on the residual pressure gauge, indicating that everyone should check how much residual pressure was left.
Seeing that his sneaky behavior was discovered, Miyazawa Yu quickly spat out Azusa-senpai regulator, glanced at the residual pressure gauge, and held up nine fingers.
After all, they had just come down not long ago, so of course there was still a lot of oxygen left.
[90]
[80]
[...80?]
Wait a minute, isn't something wrong? Looking at the eight hesitant fingers Aina held out, the three stooges collectively expressed doubt!
Iori Kitahara exchanged glances with Yu, and then quickly swam to Aina's side and held her hand.
Sure enough, the pointer on the residual pressure gauge stopped squarely at the 60 mark. He immediately re-updated the residual pressure to Kotegawa Nanaka.
[OK!]
[All members surface!]
...
Ten minutes later, in the camp by the beach, Miyazawa Yu licked his lips, feeling a little disappointed, as he had been planning to bite the regulator for a little longer.
"Yu~"
"Hmm?"
"How was it, your sister's indirect kiss?"
Smiling, Hamaoka Azusa moved closer to Yu, grabbed the uncooperative little rascal, and stuffed him into her arms. The latter expressed contempt but was powerless to resist.
After all, he was just a weak, pitiful, and helpless pure and innocent good young man. He could only say that he was willing but unable to deal with the malicious senior's club bullying!
"It was just so-so..."
"Eh~ What do you mean by 'just so-so'?"
Hamaoka Azusa would not let Yu off easily. Looking at her boyfriend, who turned his head in a huff, the wicked smile at the corner of her mouth grew stronger.
Her red lips parted slightly, she lightly licked his ear and asked again in a seductive tone: "If you didn't taste it~ do you want to try it again? The direct kind?"
"Yes!"
Without the slightest hesitation, making a joke, of course, you should take as much welfare as you can.
Although Miyazawa Yu was very unhappy that Hamaoka Azusa had NTR him, on the flip side, if he launched an attack on Azusa-senpai, wouldn't that also be NTR Nanaka-nee?
In short, with the current relationship between the three, any interaction seems to be directly linked to NTR.
As for when NTR will disappear, that depends on whether the three-way relationship comes sooner or later. But now...
Grabbing Hamaoka Azusa into his arms, Miyazawa Yu stared at the corner of the girl's mouth, which was raised in a wicked smile, and the violent factor in his chest was quickly activated!
This hateful senior looks like she lacks discipline and should be eaten up in one bite!
Since Nanaka-nee is not here, he will discipline her properly...
"Azusa-senpai! I have something I want to ask... Ah! Sorry, you two carry on..."
On the other side, finding out that Aina tried to falsely report the residual pressure because she was afraid of holding everyone back, Judge Kitahara shook his head and smiled wryly, refuting her unnecessary worries.
It must be known that the Pab club is not an abstract club like TinkerBell!
Whether it's the scumbag Yu or the unreliable seniors, they are all very tolerant. How could they care about something insignificant like playing for a little less time, let alone get angry because of it!
Seeing that Aina didn't believe it, he directly dragged her to Azusa-senpai to ask for a definitive answer.
However, the second Iori Kitahara said hello, he regretted it.
Looking at Azusa-senpai who was blushing and lying in Yu's arms, and Yu, who rigidly turned his head and stared at him with terrifying, murderous eyes, he felt that he might not survive tonight!
"Hmm? What's wrong, Iori?"
"No... that... I mean..."
Gently pushing Yu away, Hamaoka Azusa left a note to talk about it later that night, and walked to the worried Aina, who was tilting her head, and slowly squatted down to look into the latter's uneasy eyes.
On the other side, Iori Kitahara was severely choke-slammed to the ground. Under the crazy whipping of the muscleman, he barely managed to tell the whole story before passing out.
Following Miyazawa Yu's angry Earth Drop, Iori Kitahara was not very peacefully sent up to heaven.
"So that's it."
"Aina is really bothered by this matter..."
Shinji Tokita and Ryujiro Kotobuki, who were attracted by Iori's wails, looked confused after hearing the narrative.
After all, they had never encountered such a situation. As veteran members of the Pab club, almost all the members were tricked by the two of them using alcohol and the free-style "Baseball Fist" (stripping game).
With more silly people in the team, the worries that a normal girl would have become trivial things. It was hard for them to organize their words when asked to handle it.
"Well... after all, I'm just a junior..."
"Hmm~"
Looking at Yu and Iori, who were also juniors, but who were completely unbothered, and whose social methods and personalities had even been Pab-ified.
Ryujiro Kotobuki expression could be described as confused—Pab's juniors have always been known for being abstract, and the club's hierarchy is also non-existent.
Therefore, Pab has always advocated the concept of all grades being one big family, and as long as you are willing to take off your underwear in a game of "Baseball Fist," you are one of them.
Aina suddenly putting herself in such a low position...
"Aina, listen to me~"
"Yes! Yes."
Compared to the two boys who usually only solve problems with alcohol and "Baseball Fist," Hamaoka Azusa, as a senior, was more thoughtful.
Different from Nanaka's integration and acceptance, she had realized long ago that Aina and Chisa were not adapted to the Pab club's way of interaction.
Chisa was too aloof, and Aina found it difficult to open her heart to everyone because of past experiences.
"Aina, why do you use honorifics with us?"
"Eh?"
Looking at the gentle Azusa-senpai, the anxiety in Yoshikawa Aina's heart dissipated a lot, but the remaining part still made it difficult for her to fully accept the senior's kindness.
"Of course, it's because you are seniors..."
"Mhmm! It's natural for Aina to show respect to her seniors! What a good girl~"
Smilingly stroking Aina's head, Hamaoka Azusa knew that sensitive girls often cherish the rules in their hearts and won't easily make changes.
Therefore, she chose to follow Aina's logic and continue, which would neither provoke the other party's resistance nor fail to show the essence of the Pab club.
"Since it's natural for a junior to respect her seniors, then it's also natural for a senior to be lenient toward her junior, right?"
"Wha-eh?"
Stuck in place, Yoshikawa Aina's cheeks were gently pinched by Hamaoka Azusa and slowly pulled to both sides.
"Besides, it's not a bad thing for beginners to consume oxygen a little faster~"
"Exactly! Exactly!"
"Just study hard and try harder next time!"
"..."
The big eyes reflected the figures in front of her. Staring at the seniors comforting her, Yoshikawa Aina felt that the bad things in her memory seemed to have been deleted a bit!
This place seems really different from all the places she has been before!
"Hey! Yu, stop hitting him, Iori is already exhaling more than inhaling~"
"As a junior, don't you have something to say?"
"Hmm?"
In the middle of throwing Iori into the air and stir-frying him repeatedly, Miyazawa Yu stopped his whipping with a dark expression, letting the former's body fall onto the beach.
"If you ask me, Aina might not have opened her heart to us yet?"
"Oh! That makes sense!"
"It seems like our care for our junior is not enough!"
Speaking of opening one's heart, this relates to the strengths of Ryujiro Kotobuki and Shinji Tokita. The Pab club's founding members are best at using physical means to make club members open their hearts.
Just like Yu, he was such a timid child when he first arrived. Now, he beats Iori without any pressure, as if he were hitting a wooden dummy.
This is a sign of an open heart!!!
"In that case, let's start with physical openness!"
"It is our bounden duty to help Aina adapt to her seniors!!!"
"Yah!"
Yoshikawa Aina shook her head frantically, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes, but it was too late! The seniors had already completed their undressing and were eyeing her wetsuit menacingly.
"Azusa-senpai, save me!"
"Hmm~ It's okay to be in a swimsuit, right?"
"It's not okay!!! Nooooo—!"
"..."
With his last half-breath, Iori Kitahara struggled to look up at the crying Aina, a relaxed smile appearing on his face.
"Yeah, this is fine..."
"Otherwise, why do you think you're still alive!"
Sitting down next to Iori, Miyazawa Yu's tone was gloomy, and he scooped up sand and piled it on the former's head.
"In normal circumstances, I would have buried you long ago. You dare to ruin my good thing, you've gone too far!"
"Hmm? What good thing?"
"Eh!"
Kotegawa Nanaka, who was packing the oxygen tank, returned without anyone knowing. Miyazawa Yu was startled and immediately hid behind Azusa-senpai for shelter.
The former tilted her head and was confused for a few seconds, then looked at Iori and spoke a reminder.
"Um, Iori, I have some bad news for you."
"Hmm? What is it?"
"Well..."
Holding her chin, taking in all the newcomers, Kotegawa Nanaka looked troubled and continued to explain: "After all, it seems that Iori might be the only one who fails the assessment! Because of the mask clearing..."
"Ah~ So that's how it is..."
Two streams of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. Iori Kitahara looked like he was still alive, but in fact, he had died peacefully.
If one had to assign blame, Yu's continuous damage accounted for 30%, and the remaining 70% was all critical damage delivered by Nanaka-nee!
