"There's no way to clear my name now!"
With the cabinet penetrating his head, Iori Kitahara's voice was muffled against the cabinet wall.
And the direction he was facing was also wrong. He was completely facing away from Miyazawa Yu and the two senpais.
"Hey, Iori, we're over here!"
"Sorry! Just a moment."
Watching Iori first turn his body around and then, with a serious face, turn the opening of the cabinet, Miyazawa Yu was trying extremely hard to hold back his laughter!
However, Iori's misery was well-deserved. Who, after being caught watching a pornographic film by his female cousin, would invite her to watch it with him?
It was a mercy that Chisa didn't call the police for sexual harassment and have Iori arrested.
"Student Miyazawa Yu, what are you laughing at?"
"I just thought of something happy!"
"What happy thing?"
Rolling up his sleeves, Iori Kitahara flashed over and grabbed Miyazawa Yu's shoulder, his eyes aggressive.
If the latter said one more sarcastic thing, he would use a "rocket headbutt" to take this scoundrel down with him!
He was determined to make Yu taste what it felt like to have a wooden cabinet smashed on his head!
"Cough, cough! Back to business, I'll help you tidy up the room properly! Please spare my life!"
Coughing a few times, Miyazawa Yu saw the anger in Iori's eyes and quickly hid all his laughter, begging for mercy sincerely.
Iori had a pent-up anger that he couldn't release, and he also felt too embarrassed to bother Yu anymore. He could only push the bastard away and reject him irritably.
"There's no need for that. I need to quickly restore this filthy room to its original state. Please, the three of you, go home!"
"Wait, Iori!"
"If you say that, where does that leave our dignity!"
"Besides, I live right next door!"
Iori actually refused their help!
Ryujiro Kotobuki and Shinjin Tokita's expressions immediately became serious—
This was not okay! The main principle of the Pab club was to support and help each other. Whether in life or diving, the most important thing was the trust between partners!
As senpais (companions), they had a responsibility to immediately nip this evil seed of doubt in Iori's mind in the bud!
"Stop! Your attitude will only bring me trouble! Please, just go!"
Sandwiched between the three strong men—the two senpais and Miyazawa Yu—Iori Kitahara shivered all over. A bad feeling arose in him, and he was even more adamant about not giving in.
"In that case... how about we watch another one?"
"Fine! I'll trust you guys one more time!"
Unfortunately, this persistence didn't last long. When Shinjin Tokita reluctantly took out another disc as a bribe, Iori Kitahara instantly gave in.
"Iori! Could you come here and help for a bit?"
At this moment, Toshio Kotegawa's voice came from downstairs. Iori put the disc in his arms and gave a thumbs-up to the three people in the room.
"I'm sincerely asking you to help! Remember to make it look like a freshman's room!"
"Leave it to us. We'll definitely set up the perfect room for a freshman."
"You can go help out at the store without worry! Helping with work is also a very important part of dorm life."
With a click, the door was closed.
Miyazawa Yu immediately put down his thumb and discussed with the two senpais, "When it comes to a freshman's room, it's only right to let someone with experience handle it, isn't it?"
"Exactly! You haven't tidied your room yet, so you're out. Our only choice is Kohei!"
"Yosh! I'll call him over right away!"
After quickly finalizing the plan, Miyazawa Yu took out his phone and called Kohei Imamura.
Under the "possible" temptation of a mixer with beautiful high school girls, the latter quickly rushed to Iori's room. After understanding the situation, he flicked his hair, patted his chest confidently, and agreed.
"What! That's all? Leave it to me!"
"Yeah! Kohei is reliable after all. We'll count on you for the rest! Do you have a plan?"
"Of course! I've already simulated the perfect college freshman's room countless times! Wait for me to get some props!"
Having had the experience of arranging classic works with Senpai Kotobuki before.
Miyazawa Yu didn't raise any objections to the twin-tailed figure and sister-type anime posters Kohei Imamura brought this time.
On the contrary, he was also very interested in those figures and posters that would make any otaku excited.
He had to admit that Kohei Imamura was indeed a veteran otaku. Everything he brought was of high quality!
While decorating the room, he even couldn't help but secretly pocket a few posters, preparing to hang them in his own room for later appreciation.
"Yosh! We're done, Kohei. Go return the tape."
"I'll go too! I'll bring back some ice cream!"
After putting the figures in their proper places, after all that work in the hot summer, Miyazawa Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead and decided to get some ice cream to eat.
Of course, he would make that guy Iori pay for it, since these were reasonable expenses incurred during the decoration process!
"Iori, Chisa left in a huff just now. Do you know what happened?"
On the other side, Iori Kitahara was wiping the tables in the store. Hearing this, he didn't even lift his head and made up a story, "It's probably because I was the only one who received a housewarming gift from the senpais."
"Ah~ Still getting angry over something like that. She really is a little kid who hasn't grown up yet."
Without doubting him, Toshio Kotegawa wiped a cup and shook his head with a sigh.
That girl Chisa was just like her mother; she had a bad temper and was stubborn, and she didn't know how to speak properly, which made her seem like a child in the end.
"Not really. I was actually going to invite her to enjoy it with me."
"Ah! Iori!"
"!!!"
His sister Nanaka, who had been avoiding him for a long time, was finally willing to communicate. Iori Kitahara immediately turned around and explained seriously.
"Sister Nanaka! Listen to me about what happened just now! Actually, it was Yu and the senpais..."
"Okay, okay! It's fine, I don't mind~"
"No! That's not the point!"
"It's really fine. I just asked my friends about it~"
Smiling at the flustered Iori, Nanaka Kotegawa comforted him understandingly, "For a boy your age, this is very normal!"
"Huh? Is my reputation being ruined?"
He froze on the spot. Not only was he misunderstood by Sister Nanaka, but his bad reputation also seemed to have been unintentionally spread!
Iori Kitahara was desperate to save his reputation but couldn't. He could only break down and lower his head, loudly clarifying, "Anyway! The room just now wasn't decorated by me!"
"Huh? It wasn't Iori?"
"Exactly! It was just Yu playing a joke on me!"
"Ah, is that so?"
Nanaka Kotegawa touched her cheek, half-believing him.
Seeing that he had a chance, Iori Kitahara nodded wildly, assuring her, "Exactly! But now it must have been restored to a normal room..."
"Manager, thanks for the tape."
"You've worked hard, Manager. Have some ice cream!"
"Arigato, you two. Is the room cleaned up?"
This was! Kohei's voice!
He turned his head sharply, looking at the backs of Kohei and Yu disappearing at the stairs. Iori smelled a conspiracy.
Beautiful girls, loli, elementary school students, magical girl figures, and posters of various younger-sister-type anime characters!
Sensing that something was wrong, this time, Iori Kitahara didn't eagerly take Sister Nanaka to see the room. Instead, he cautiously went up to scout for himself first.
And as he expected! His room hadn't been made normal at all! It had just changed from a pervert-style to an otaku-pervert-style!
"Oh! What do you think, Iori? The comfortable room I arranged..."
Sha sha sha—
Ignoring Kohei Imamura completely, Iori Kitahara's face turned dark. He strode to the wall, grabbed the corner of a poster, and viciously tore it into three pieces.
"How did you end up here!!!"
"Waaaahhh! What are you doing! How dare you attack my proud beginner's set for living alone!"
His "wife" was torn. Kohei Imamura suddenly suffered a mental shock, his pupils instantly contracted, and he wailed in despair on the ground.
Then, holding onto the hatred of avenging his "wife," he suddenly lunged.
With a big jump, he pinned Iori Kitahara down, revealing the sharp fangs in his mouth, as if he were going to bite through the latter's neck!
"Shut up, Kohei! Who told you to treat my room as your own and mess it up! Do you want me to kill you!"
Kohei was wronged, but Iori was no less so!
If he hadn't been smart enough to come up and take a look first, if Sister Nanaka had seen this kind of room, he would not only fail to clear his name as a pervert, but he would also have the prefix "otaku" added to it!
With such a reputation spreading, he might as well just go back to his hometown, inherit the family business, and live out his life in a mountain inn!
