Chapter 344: Writing: Drink the wine glass dry, pronounced as Ganbei
A moment later, Kitahara Iori returned.
He held two cans of cola in his hand.
"Here, Yuma, cola."
Kitahara Iori, being overly familiar, directly called Uchiha Fugaku by his name. In reality, the two had just met and shouldn't have been on a first-name basis, but Kitahara Iori was different. This guy came from an all-boys school and had no sense of boundaries.
"Thank you."
"Eh? Where did this Virgin Mary come from? The protagonist should dump her quickly!"
Uchiha Fugaku smiled without speaking. Kitahara Iori liked to mumble when watching movies, which was quite similar to Mikoto.
Mikoto also liked to mumble when watching TV.
In fact, Uchiha Fugaku himself had a bit of this habit, but usually only when he was watching a movie alone. If someone else was present, he wouldn't mumble.
Because Uchiha Fugaku had arrived, Kitahara Iori specifically rewound the half-watched movie to the beginning and started playing it again.
Just as they finished watching the movie "Tokyo Miracles" and saw the staff credits rolling on the screen, the door was pushed open and a muscular man with yellow hair walked in.
He looked around, and after his gaze locked onto Uchiha Fugaku, his eyes lit up. "You must be Yuma, right?"
Uchiha Fugaku looked back, and upon seeing the man's yellow hair and muscular build, he immediately recognized him. This person was the other major figure of the Diving Club, Kotobuki Ryujiro, Tokita Shinji's good brother. The two were often inseparable, and they were important supporting characters in Grand Blue.
It's worth mentioning that although they were the 'big and small kings' of the Diving Club, their tennis skills were also top-notch, even better than the president of Izu University's Tennis Club.
In the original work, during a match against the Tennis Club, Tokita Shinji and Kotobuki Ryujiro completely dominated their 2v2 match with overwhelming scores.
The ace of the opposing Tennis Club could barely return a single ball. As the saying goes, one force can break all methods.
The two muscular men hit the ball with such power that its speed was like a cannonball.
"It's me. And you are?"
Although Uchiha Fugaku knew the identity of the newcomer, he still had to pretend, as this was their 'first meeting'.
"Haha," Kotobuki Ryujiro laughed heartily, "I'm Kotobuki Ryujiro, also from the Diving Club. Welcome to our Diving Club! You have excellent taste!"
Uchiha Fugaku felt like he had heard that phrase somewhere before. After a quick thought, he realized: that's right, Tokita Shinji had also said that. It was no wonder they were inseparable good brothers who were close enough to share a pair of pants; they even spoke exactly alike.
Uchiha Fugaku smiled politely.
Of course, he was mostly sizing up the other person.
He was completely identical to his anime counterpart.
"The party is about to start, let's go downstairs!"
It turned out Kotobuki Ryujiro wasn't just there to greet them, but also to call them downstairs.
"Let's go, Yuma, gogogo."
In just over an hour, Kitahara Iori and Uchiha Fugaku had become quite familiar.
Of course, this was Kitahara Iori's unilateral opinion.
He got up, turned off the DVD, and familiarly slung his arm over Uchiha Fugaku's shoulder. The two walked out like good brothers.
Uchiha Fugaku didn't mind this.
Downstairs, the previously quite empty hall was now filled with many people.
"These are all members of our Diving Club," Kitahara Iori said beside Uchiha Fugaku.
As for Kotobuki Ryujiro, after going downstairs, he immediately went to find Tokita Shinji. He also had to help take out the chilled alcohol from the refrigerator.
"Kohei, when did you get here!"
Kitahara Iori exclaimed in surprise when he saw Imamura Kohei by the counter.
"Just arrived."
Imamura Kohei's magnetic voice sounded, and Uchiha Fugaku looked over curiously, indeed seeing a handsome man wearing a white T-shirt with a two-dimensional girl printed on the front.
'Imamura Kohei!'
He had flowing golden short hair, perfectly proportioned features, sword-like eyebrows, sharp eyes, and a high, upturned nose. He was a first-rate handsome man.
It was no wonder that when school first started, Imamura Kohei's handsome appearance captivated a large number of fangirls.
His looks were indeed very striking, even more handsome than the original Uchida Yuma.
"Kohei, this is Uchida Yuma, who just joined the Diving Club. He's also a freshman like us, but he's not in the same department as us; he's in Electronic Information."
"Yuma, this is Imamura Kohei. You can just call him Kohei."
Kitahara Iori introduced the two.
"Hello, Uchida Yuma."
"Hello, Imamura Kohei."
The two politely bumped fists.
After greeting Imamura Kohei, the task content was updated with a favorability task for Imamura Kohei.
As one of the important protagonists of Grand Blue, Imamura Kohei would naturally have a favorability task, which Uchiha Fugaku was not surprised by.
Getting along well with Kitahara Iori and Imamura Kohei was actually not difficult.
Especially knowing their personalities, personal habits, and preferences, it would be even simpler.
For Imamura Kohei, buying him figures or sending him autographed goods by Nana Mizuki would likely cause his favorability to quickly reach 80.
As for Kitahara Iori, this guy just wanted to get a girlfriend and end his 20 years of being single. Taking him to some mixers would likely cause his favorability to soar, and a few more times should complete the favorability 80 task.
The party began.
Everyone received a large cup of alcohol.
At the suggestion of the club president, Tokita Shinji, everyone raised their glasses.
"Written as 'drink the cup dry'!"
Tokita Shinji spoke passionately, and Kotobuki Ryujiro followed closely: "Read as 'cheers'!"
"Oh!"
"Aoh!"
A dozen Diving Club members responded loudly, tilting their heads back and gulping down their drinks.
Kitahara Iori and Imamura Kohei both chugged their drinks, and Uchiha Fugaku was no exception. Anyway, he had the Drunkproof skill, which, as the name implies, meant he couldn't get drunk as long as he didn't exceed a thousand cups.
Sure enough, after swallowing this cup of alcohol, he felt absolutely nothing. Apart from the pungent taste of the alcohol, it was as if he had drunk a cup of plain water.
"Oh, oh, Yuma, your alcohol tolerance is quite good!"
Kitahara Iori, who had been constantly paying attention to this newcomer, said with shining eyes.
He saw Uchida Yuma chug this large cup of alcohol without any change in his expression, clearly indicating that this one cup of alcohol was nothing to him.
"Do you drink often?"
Imamura Kohei also asked curiously.
The reason why the two of them showed no change after chugging this cup of alcohol was that they had grown accustomed to drinking during this period and had developed some resistance. This amount of alcohol was not enough to make their faces red.
However, Uchida Yuma, as a new member, showing no change after chugging it down also surprised the two of them.
"More or less. My father likes to drink, and I often drink with him when I'm at home."
Uchiha Fugaku fabricated a white lie, so as not to discourage them later.
"Oh wow, the newcomer is pretty good!"
Tokita Shinji was clearly also paying attention to Uchiha Fugaku. After Uchiha Fugaku finished the alcohol in his cup, he also said admiringly and even specifically came over to refill Uchiha Fugaku's cup.
