"Maya... Maya-san, why! Why did you announce your relationship!"
"Hey! Kohei, it's your turn again. If you want your underwear back, you better snap out of it!"
Miyazawa Yu gently shook the purebred otaku who had been struck by the news of the voice actress's relationship. Seeing that Kohei was still immersed in his own world and couldn't get out, he could only shake his head and take off the last bit of his defense for him.
He then kicked the poor, naked boy out of the game.
Turning back to his seat, the situation was already quite tense.
Thanks to the Pab club's special big hearts, with the exception of that guy Iori's risky move to crush Kohei first and Nanaka Kotegawa being voluntarily covered by him.
Almost every time a story ended, the person who told the story had to take off a piece of clothing as a conclusion.
In other words! All the men present were now only wearing their underwear!
"Hey, Yu, I just remembered, we haven't discussed the final punishment yet, right?"
"The final punishment?"
"That's right!"
Ryūjirō Kotobuki nodded with deep conviction and held up a finger to explain, "The so-called final punishment is like the 'dare' in a 'truth or dare' game! It can also be seen as the winner's reward!"
"I see... Then let's do what you said. All the losers have to fulfill one request from the final winner. How does that sound?"
He showed a knowing expression. In that case, Miyazawa Yu had no worries. Anyway, the only person with a full set of clothes on was Sister Nanaka.
As long as he didn't end up in the hands of the senpais or Iori, everything was negotiable!
"Mm-hmm! It's good that you agreed, Yu!"
"That puts our minds at ease."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
The three bastards on the other side all grinned with a successful look. Miyazawa Yu immediately felt that something was wrong and shrank back behind Sister Nanaka.
"Oh, it's nothing, really. I just want to get Yu to participate in the Tough Guy Battle without a mask. It's very troubling for me if my reputation is ruined again!"
He put one hand on his forehead. Since he had been found out, Iori Kitahara stopped pretending!
That's right! From the very beginning of the game, he had been planning how to get revenge on Yu, who had ruined his reputation.
After thinking it over, the most satisfying revenge would be to shatter the other person's dream of a harem king!
"Yu! If I win, you have to do a 'ripping clothes off' performance at the Tough Guy Battle and then shout three times, 'I'm the Pab club's pervert—Miyazawa Yu!'"
"Ugh, that's so malicious! But Iori, do you really think you can win in the end!"
"Hehe, hahaha! Yu! Do you think I'm fighting alone?"
"What! Senpais... that can't be right!"
A lightbulb went off in his head. Miyazawa Yu looked at Ryūjirō Kotobuki and Shinji Tokita in disbelief. They wouldn't mess around with Iori, right?
"Sorry, Yu. The Tough Guy Battle doesn't require you to show your face, but..."
"Although the judging is based on your body, humans are visual creatures. If you don't show your face, your chances of winning are very slim!"
"Damn it! What's the difference between this and a handsome man contest!"
Miyazawa Yu roared in indignation at the two unconscionable senpais who were setting up their junior. He felt a huge "Danger" sign appear over his head.
Iori alone was nothing to be afraid of, but if he had two teammates who cooperated with each other, they could come up with all sorts of tricks!
And if he made even one mistake, he would lose everything! This was an unfair match!
"It's my turn now. Lizard!"
"Whoa~ It's so slimy. That's so scary. I'll drink it!"
"Revenge of the Pillow!"
"Gulp, gulp, gulp! I'll have another bottle!"
As expected, as soon as Miyazawa Yu fell into the trap without any defense, Iori Kitahara and the two senpais immediately went to work.
Without giving him much time to think, Ryūjirō Kotobuki and Shinji Tokita, who were first in line, quickly ended the round by drinking for each other.
Sensing that the three of them had already set their sights on him, Miyazawa Yu's expression was ferocious, but he was also helpless!
"Hey~ Yu-kun, hurry up~ Taking too long also counts as a loss~"
"Damn it! Iori, you're using my own magic against me!"
"So what? Do you think you can escape from our hunt, the three of us? That's impossible!"
"Gulp..."
Although he didn't want to admit it, Miyazawa Yu was now in a dead end. It was a pipe dream to try to take down his opponents by telling ghost stories one after another.
Iori Kitahara, that bastard, was one thing. But Senpai Kotobuki and Senpai Tokita's drinking capacity was unbelievably strong.
If he told the stories one by one, the speed at which he drank might not even be as fast as the speed at which they sobered up!
In that case... he couldn't be blamed for fighting dirty! Finding a glimmer of hope in a desperate situation was a protagonist's specialty!
"Heh!"
Miyazawa Yu curled his lips into a sneer and slowly lowered his head. A gloomy aura instantly swept through the entire room. Even Nanaka felt a lot colder beside him.
"Do you know? A story about a beer bug."
"It was when I was in high school. I went to a friend's house to hang out. That guy was an alcoholic, but he had a very low tolerance. He drank too much late at night, so I had to go to the bathroom with him..."
Miyazawa Yu's voice got lower and lower. Just as everyone was holding their breath, he suddenly looked up and menacingly scanned everyone in the room.
"And guess what? In the stuff he threw up, I actually found a living centipede wriggling around! They say that people who are drunk sleep with their mouths open, so it's very easy for some clueless bugs to sneak into their throats~ Iori!!!"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!"
He was truly scared. Iori Kitahara screamed, and his whole body shivered. He condemned him in terror, "I asked you to tell a ghost story! Why did you have to say something so disgusting!"
"I couldn't help it. There were very few ways to scare you guys. But this is a real story~ one that I saw with my own eyes!"
Miyazawa Yu shrugged helplessly. He squinted at the petrified Senpai Kotobuki and nonchalantly urged, "It looks like everyone was scared. There's nothing we can do about that. Please, everyone!"
"..."
"..."
With a swish, they took off their last pair of underwear. Ryūjirō Kotobuki and Shinji Tokita stood up at the same time, their eyes blank and their faces ashen. They said, "Sorry, we give up. Nanaka, can you please get us some regular water?"
"That's fine, but you guys..."
"We're going to use the bathroom!"
They shakily held up two fingers to their mouths. Although Miyazawa Yu's story was ridiculous, what if!
They had something they wanted to confirm.
"Is that so? Take your time, two senpais. Now it's just you, Iori! So, what's your choice..."
"Huff... you're getting too cocky, Yu! It's just a ghost story. I'm not going to fall for it!"
The tide had turned in an instant. Iori Kitahara didn't expect this guy Yu to play a dirty trick and use a disgusting story to force Senpai Kotobuki and Senpai Tokita to retreat.
He gritted his teeth and picked up the cup of alcohol. He stared at the sloshing liquid for a full five minutes, building up his courage. He then closed his eyes and chugged the "water of life."
But as the liquid went down his throat, an unimaginable nausea surged in his heart. The next second, he covered his mouth and rushed out of the room straight to the bathroom.
"Ugh— bleh! No! That's so disgusting! That's practically a mental attack!"
"There's nothing we can do. Those are the rules of the game, retch—"
He knelt by the toilet and threw up violently. Iori Kitahara felt so miserable that tears were coming out of his eyes.
He now deeply regretted not being fully prepared before hunting Yu. This guy was indeed a vicious beast that couldn't be taken down on a whim.
However, when he looked up during a moment of catching his breath, he realized that there were a few more people gathered around the toilet.
The girl who looked out of place with the muscular senpais and was taking the best throwing-up spot was clearly Chisa Kotegawa!
"Chisa! You heard it too?"
"Don't talk to me. I want to forget everything that just happened!"
With a forehead full of black lines and a look of despair in her eyes, Chisa Kotegawa just wanted to come and tell her sister not to play too wildly.
She never expected to be caught in the crossfire without even opening the door, a direct hit from Miyazawa Yu's indiscriminate attack.
Although she didn't usually drink, she was truly terrified of bugs!
"Um... are you guys okay? Do you want some porridge?"
Nanaka Kotegawa pushed open the bathroom door. She was impressed by the immense damage Miyazawa Yu's one sentence had caused. She didn't know if they would be able to eat anything in this state.
"No, thank you, Sister Nanaka. I'll just drink some water."
"Me too. Ryujiro, are you okay?"
"Not really. I think I threw up a bug..."
"Don't scare yourself. That's just the shredded seaweed from dinner tonight."
The group of four who had let it all out clearly weren't in the mood to eat. Seeing this, Nanaka Kotegawa didn't know how to comfort them. She could only hand them warm water one by one to rinse their mouths.
Still shaken, Chisa Kotegawa rinsed her mouth and drank half a glass of water, but she still felt a little sick.
In her most vulnerable moment, she grabbed Nanaka's skirt and said in a soft, childish voice, "Sister, I want to sleep with you tonight."
"Huh! Really! No... I mean, of course, that's fine. Sister will protect you~"
Her cute little sister Chisa weakly burrowed into her arms. Nanaka Kotegawa was overcome with unexpected joy and nodded her head like crazy.
She never expected to be able to sleep in the same bed with Chisa after all this time. Yu's ghost story was really not bad!
