Jhin finally agreed to make a delicious dish that the girls of Kessoku Band had never eaten before as a reward. This small request didn't stump him at all.
Inside the "Scum-kun Truth Investigation" group chat.
Kasumigaoka Utaha: "I've already agreed on a time with Miss Irisu. Sawamura-san, Kato-san, are you free?"
Eriri: "What do you mean 'free or not'? After coming to Antarctica, I realized life here is actually quite monotonous. Once the designated daily tasks are done, there's absolutely nothing to do."
Kato Megumi: "After all, we aren't professional scientific researchers, so we can only do odds and ends."
Eriri: "True. I went out and took pictures of penguins last time. Do you guys want to see?"
Kato Megumi: "I want to see. I didn't come across any the past few times I went out, which is a real pity."
Eriri: "[Image] [Image]. I'll send the rest to you privately."
Kato Megumi: "So cute. Thank you, Sawamura-san."
Eriri: "You're welcome. By the way, considering we're pretty familiar with each other now, there's no need to keep using these formal addresses, right?"
Kasumigaoka Utaha: "Oh? Is Sawamura-san trying to take the initiative to get closer to us?"
Eriri: "I wasn't talking to a two-faced woman like you. I'm talking to Kato-san."
Kato Megumi: "Then I'll start calling you Eriri."
Eriri: "Then I'll call you Megumi too."
Kasumigaoka Utaha: "You two, don't get off-topic. Remember to go to Miss Irisu's room together later."
Eriri: "Oh? Are you feeling upset because you think you're being isolated?"
Kato Megumi: "Eriri, I think it's better not to say that."
Kasumigaoka Utaha: "Heh, only someone like you, Sawamura-san, whose brain is as barren as her chest, would get angry over such a trivial matter. I can also use a friendly address with Kato-san. Isn't that right, Megumi?"
Kato Megumi: "Of course you can, Utaha."
Eriri: "Two-faced woman!"
Kasumigaoka Utaha: "Tsundere monster!"
Kato Megumi: "..."
Eriri and Kasumigaoka Utaha, who had been bickering endlessly in the group chat, didn't continue their argument when they met in person.
After harrumphing at each other, they sandwiched Kato Megumi between them to act as a buffer zone.
They knocked on the door and entered Irisu Makina's room, immediately stunned by the massive amount of plush toys inside.
Looking around, there were plushies placed on the desk, the bed, the wardrobe, and even the chairs.
Irisu Makina was hugging a plush toy that looked exactly like Jhin. She was in the middle of arranging snacks and drinks on the desk.
Seeing Kasumigaoka Utaha and the others arrive, she immediately greeted them. "Welcome. Hmm... what was I supposed to say next? Make yourselves at home?"
"Miss Irisu, I'll just be straightforward and ask. Are you and Jhin-san in that kind of relationship?" Kasumigaoka Utaha chose to cut straight to the chase this time, wanting to avoid a repeat of last time where she asked questions for ages without getting the information she wanted.
She was completely unaware that Irisu Makina's personality wasn't as cute as her appearance suggested. If one had to name the most aggressive and mischievous person in Mihama Academy, it would undoubtedly be her.
From the looks of it, they didn't seem to have come over with the intention of ruining the relationship between me and Big Brother.
Kazami Kazuki had told Irisu Makina how to handle this kind of situation. For people like Kasumigaoka Utaha, she simply needed to answer truthfully.
However, Irisu Makina still had a childish temperament and planned to tease them a bit.
"Yeah, back then, Big Brother went so far as to pin me to the ground to force me to agree to his demands." Irisu Makina pouted, crossing her dangling legs in a highly aggrieved manner.
Having investigated for so long, she finally heard an explosive piece of news. Kasumigaoka Utaha forced down the excitement in her heart, leaning forward slightly as she pressed further, "What did Jhin-san force you to do?"
"Well..." Irisu Makina stammered for a long time without giving an answer.
"Miss Irisu, be brave and say it! We'll definitely get justice for you!" Eriri waved her small fists, filled with righteous indignation.
She hadn't expected Jhin to actually force a girl to agree to his demands. This was simply going too far!
"Back then, during training, Big Brother forced me to call him Instructor..." After saying this, Irisu Makina shyly hid her small face behind the plush toy.
Eriri's chest full of burning fury came to an abrupt halt. As if she had just locked eyes with Medusa, her entire body petrified in her chair.
I've already dropped my pants... I mean, rolled up my sleeves, ready to get into a fight with Jhin, and it turns out you're just talking about this kind of trivial matter?
Kato Megumi was more curious about the content of Irisu Makina's training. "What exactly did Jhin teach you?"
"Let me think..." Irisu Makina counted them off on her fingers one by one. "Three-kilometer runs, push-ups, sit-ups, pull-ups, frog jumps, squats, and individual tactical training."
"Is it really that hardcore?"
Just hearing the names of the exercises made Kato Megumi feel her calves trembling. To think that the seemingly frail Irisu Makina had actually persevered through such training—that was the most jaw-dropping part.
Kasumigaoka Utaha carefully observed Irisu Makina's slender limbs but didn't see the tough muscle definition she had imagined. "Miss Irisu, is your body... alright?"
"Hm? My body is very healthy. Big Brother said that it's actually much harder for girls to build muscle definition than boys."
"Besides, I haven't been maintaining my original training intensity lately, so you can't see the traces of my workouts."
As she spoke, Irisu Makina raised her right hand to show off the bicep on her slender arm.
It looked no different from an ordinary person's, but only Jhin knew that she could hang onto him using just her arms for over ten minutes.
"Wait, Kasumigaoka Utaha, your questions have gone way off track."
Reminded by Eriri, Kasumigaoka Utaha finally realized that her main objective was to investigate the relationship between Irisu Makina and Jhin. She cleared her throat. "Ahem, Miss Irisu..."
"Stop!" Irisu Makina raised a hand to interrupt Kasumigaoka Utaha. She kicked off her slippers and sat cross-legged on the bed.
Hugging the Jhin plushie tightly, her ruby-red eyes settled with a maturity that didn't match her childish appearance. "I know what you want to ask, but I'm not a very patient person, so I'll just give you a simple rundown."
"First point: Big Brother and I don't share a single drop of blood. I only call him that because another title would be even more inconvenient."
"Second point: I don't care in the slightest about what kind of women Big Brother is with, or what their personalities are like. Kazuki-nee will handle those matters."
"Third point: The things Big Brother has done for us far exceed your imagination, so don't look at our relationship through the ordinary lens of society."
"Fourth point, and also the last: I suggest you go look for Michi-Michi next."
"I'm done talking. Even if you have anything else you want to ask, I won't answer, because I'm going to go play with Big Brother later."
