Chapter 25 - Chapter 25: Iori's Isolated Cabin

Zzzzzzt—

Tearing off a new roll of tape, Miyazawa Yu firmly stuck a photo he was holding onto a poster. Although it might damage the poster, it was all worth it for the mixer tonight!

"Hey, Iori, is it really necessary to hang them on the light cord? It looks really creepy."

"One man's poison is another man's honey. Maybe Sister Nanaka is into this kind of thing~ Let's hang them..."

"Then... alright!"

Hearing Miyazawa Yu's words, Kohei Imamura hesitated for two seconds before hanging Chisa's photo on the light cord.

Next was the body pillow. To be honest, he never thought he would one day stick the face of someone he knew onto a body pillow he used for sleeping.

This had completely gone beyond the scope of being a pervert and had directly escalated to being a stalker!

Miyazawa Yu actually felt the same way, but what he was more curious about was where on earth Iori got so many photos from various angles.

Could it be that this guy had been doing something bad behind their backs?

Like following Chisa at night, secretly taking pictures of Chisa yawning in class, or sneaking into Chisa's room to take pictures of her sleeping face...

"Wait a minute, did something strange just get mixed in!"

Suddenly noticing a blind spot, Miyazawa Yu quickly rummaged through the photos and soon found a photo of Chisa drooling in her sleep.

Judging by the angle, it should have been taken right above the bed, and the resolution was super high. It didn't look like it was a casual photo taken with a phone!

"Ah... hey, Iori."

"Hmm?"

"Where did you get these photos?"

Iori didn't show any signs of being unnatural, but Miyazawa Yu was still on alert, with his phone ready to call the police at any time.

Even if they were living together, trespassing into a girl's room was an absolute no-go! It seemed that the Pab club was about to lose a member today!

"I borrowed Sister Nanaka's camera and exported them from it. I can say they're definitely to her liking!"

"Ah~ I see. That puts my mind at ease..."

Like hell it did! It was unacceptable even if Sister Nanaka was the one who took the photos!

It seemed he had underestimated Sister Nanaka's obsession with her sister. He had thought that sniffing clothes was already the pinnacle, but was that just an appetizer?

His pupils trembled. Miyazawa Yu's movements froze. He started to think about what he should do to pry this wall off.

"Hey, Senpai, it's almost time for the party!"

Kohei, the only person among them who was focused on the drinking party, looked at the clock with Chisa's photo stuck on it and realized that it was already late.

If they didn't hurry, they might miss the party tonight!

"Oh! Did I forget to tell you?"

"What's wrong? Did something happen to the party?"

"Yeah! The other side just contacted us and said there was a situation, so they want to postpone it."

"..."

A deathly silence fell over the room. The sounds of packing up instantly stopped. Iori Kitahara stiffly turned his head towards Shinji Tokita.

"—Huh? Senpai, what did you say? Postponed!"

"Postponed."

The next second, Iori Kitahara instantly appeared in front of Shinji Tokita. Face to face, he continued to ask in a deathly tone, "Not today!"

"Not today."

"Ugh... Gulp! Wait, wait a minute..."

His eyes were bloodshot. Even though Senpai Tokita was speaking Japanese, he couldn't quite understand him.

If today's party was going to be postponed...

Looking at his own hands, Iori Kitahara forced a bitter, disbelieving smile—"Then what have I been doing all this for—"

"Iori! Here's some tea..."

Pushing the door open, Chisa Kotegawa walked into the room. At first glance, she saw that these guys hadn't taken off their clothes, and she subconsciously thought, That's good!

But when she saw the decorations in the room, the glimmer of hope in her eyes instantly died out.

To her left were posters with her face on them. To her right were figures with her face on them. In the middle was the body pillow with her sleeping face on it that Iori was holding.

With nowhere to look without getting angrier, she eventually closed her eyes tightly to clear the filthy images from her mind, and then she stared intently at Iori's face, which was gradually distorting.

"..."

"..."

They were both speechless. Iori Kitahara's eyes no longer had pupils. His completely whitened eyeballs combined with the cold sweat on his forehead perfectly created one of the classic human expressions—"Despair!"

"That's great, Iori."

Ten minutes later, in the old hut that was originally planned to be dismantled, Ryujiro Kotobuki distributed the vodka he had brought to everyone to moisten their throats.

"That's right. Starting a new life in a private room you've been dreaming of, isn't that exactly what you wanted?"

"I don't want to become this—!"

Kneeling on the ground, he wailed in pain. This time, however, Iori Kitahara couldn't even find anyone to blame, since this room was indeed done entirely according to his requirements and under his supervision.

It just so happened that the person who came up was Chisa and not Sister Nanaka!

"Come on, come on~ The room just got bigger. Shouldn't you be happy about that?"

"Huh? I'll kill you, Yu! And why weren't you kicked out? We did this together!"

"Well..."

Even though Iori was staring at him, Miyazawa Yu naturally stated the reason, "After all, my target is Sister Nanaka. How could Chisa be on guard against me~"

"You have evil intentions, you scoundrel! I didn't have any target at all! Damn it!"

"What can you do? It's your fault for sticking her photos everywhere. Just accept your fate, Iori."

He drank the liquor Ryujiro Kotobuki handed him in one go. Miyazawa Yu stood up, stretched his body, and then walked outside.

"Hey! Yu, where are you going?"

"Just to get a cup of water and some food. The cookies Chisa brought were smashed on Iori's head, weren't they? I'll be right back."

This was a lie. He had just seen Iori's miserable state and wanted to tidy up his own room before the senpais could react.

If he could, he hoped to live on the second floor, right next to Sister Nanaka, and not in this dilapidated abandoned storage room!

"Heh, do you think I'm stupid, Yu? I remember your room hasn't been tidied up, right?"

His own failure was terrible, but his friend's peace of mind was even more heartbreaking.

Even though Miyazawa Yu thought he had hidden his intentions well, Iori Kitahara instantly saw through them.

Seeing the distorted smile with two rows of teeth on Iori's face, he could only try to bluff his way out of it while pretending to be calm.

"That's not possible. I have very few things, so I finished tidying up a long time ago~"

"Oh? Is that so? Senpai Kotobuki, we can't play favorites when helping each other in the club, right?"

"That's right. Yu, don't try to get out of it! Tell us what kind of room you want. We'll help you together!"

"Iori! You bastard! (Very quietly)"

Seeing Ryujiro Kotobuki and Shinji Tokita coming over together with no way out, Miyazawa Yu's eyes shot fire at Iori Kitahara.

But the latter shamelessly turned his face away and even whistled a soundless tune to pretend he was innocent!

Damn it! If he let the senpais help him tidy up the room, he would inevitably end up like Iori. How could he avoid this death trap!

"No problem. In that case, I want... a normal room with no male-male content, no classic works, and a style that is the complete opposite of Iori's current decoration!"

He held up a finger! Miyazawa Yu rattled off a bunch of restrictions, and then he raised an eyebrow at Iori in a provocative way.

No AV, no BL, and no photos of Chisa. He didn't believe these people could pull off any major stunts!

He figured that Iori was too embarrassed to set conditions since he was new here. Unlike him, he was directly bypassing all the sensitive points, so the senpais would still be very useful!

"No classic works..."

"And the opposite of Iori's room..."

After hearing Miyazawa Yu's requests, Ryujiro Kotobuki and Shinji Tokita pressed their hands on their heads in a difficult position and started to think. This was truly difficult for them!

"So, that's settled then~ I'm going to go help Sister Nanaka make dinner. You all can do what you want!"

A triumphant smile appeared on his face. Sure enough, as long as he restricted the senpais, there was nothing to be afraid of.

Leaving the four people who wanted to set him up to rack their brains, Miyazawa Yu happily went to the kitchen to be alone with Sister Nanaka.

He had inquired, and all the meals at Grand Blue were handled by Nanaka alone. This was when an angel needed the most help!

If he could help, his likeability would definitely skyrocket!
