"..."
In the afternoon of the exam day, inside Grand Blue, Nanaka Kotegawa was wiping the bowls and chopsticks dirtied by lunch, but her shoulders kept involuntarily tightening due to the intense feeling of being stared at.
This situation lasted for about an hour, never weakening for a moment since they started eating until now.
Helplessly, for the sake of her neck and shoulder health, she could only look at Miyazawa Yu face full of curiosity and ask awkwardly, tilting her head: "Um, Yu?"
"Yes, what's wrong, Nanaka-san?"
Miyazawa Yu responded without thinking, washing the plates like a machine, but his eyes were still tightly locked on Nanaka Kotegawa's chest.
"Um... well, is there any dirt stuck on me?"
Her skin was burning from the scorching gaze. Nanaka Kotegawa protected her chest, her face flushed.
Seriously! What's wrong with Yu all of a sudden? Why did he become so strange after going out for an exam and coming back!
Even though she was usually oblivious, she was still an older sister by a few years. She could tell where the little brother's mind was focused at a glance!
"No, I'm very sorry! It's just..."
Suddenly snapping back to reality and realizing that his gaze was truly impolite, Miyazawa Yu, afraid of being taken for a pervert by Nanaka-san, quickly reached out and forcibly turned his head away.
As for the reason why he kept staring at her 'oppai', it had to be traced back to a few hours ago.
In short, through some unconventional means, he had obtained Nanaka-san body measurements and had deep suspicions about some of the numbers.
That's why he couldn't control his gaze, to the point where his eyeballs were almost escaping from his eye sockets.
"Nanaka-san..."
"Ah! I can wash that bowl myself! Yu, why don't you take a break first?"
A thick layer of awkwardness filled the air. Miyazawa Yu was about to speak, but the startled Nanaka Kotegawa quickly retreated two steps and tightly closed her eyes.
Seeing Nanaka-san refuse with a blush, the former could only nod and take off his gloves, giving her space to calm down.
"So, Yu suddenly realized Nanaka charm, and his eyes are out of control, is that right?"
Ten minutes later, in Iori isolation shack, Miyazawa Yu was lying on the bedding with a vacant look in his eyes, his soul even floating out of his mouth.
Looking at the half-dead Yu, Kotobuki Ryujirou barely summarized what happened from his description and immediately shook his head and criticized.
"Too impatient, it's completely perverted behavior!"
"Exactly! You little pervert!"
"I'm not! This is just appreciation of beauty! And didn't Iori also praise Chisa curves!"
He absolutely did not agree with the seniors' conservative views. If you like it, you have to look! What kind of man is timid and hesitant!
Miyazawa Yu felt that no matter what, he was at least more of a gentleman than Iori. At least he wouldn't tell someone their butt was curvy to their face and then get three large bumps knocked onto his head!
"..."
Innocently being dissed, Kitahara Iori, who was secretly depressed because he didn't do well on the exam, immediately shot a look of contempt: "So, why did you come to us? To show off, you scumbag?"
"No! I'm just looking for a solution. Because I'm so focused on it, I can't look at Nanaka-san normally anymore!"
Sitting up abruptly, Miyazawa Yu knelt down in front of Kotobuki Ryujirou with a pained face and pleaded bitterly: "Please, Kotobuki-senpai! Teach me a way to see Nanaka-san normally again!"
"Eh? Even if you say that..."
"We only ever saw Nanaka as a friend, so of course we wouldn't have so many bad thoughts."
"I agree! How can you teach things like getting along with girls? Besides, all of us here are single guys..."
Leaning against the wall playing a game, Imamura Kohei had a face full of black lines listening to Yu heartfelt cry.
He then raised the most crucial point, which was that none of the guys in the Pab club had girlfriends!
Yu seeking advice from them was completely asking the wrong people. If he wanted to improve his dating experience in a galgame, he might still be able to teach him a little.
"...That makes so much sense! I am speechless!"
Looking around blankly, Miyazawa Yu thought that Kohei was indeed right.
He was actually trying to extract relationship knowledge from bachelors. How was this not a fantasy?
Damn it! Could it be that he could only wait for himself to slowly forget the urge to explore and naturally return to a calm routine?
Wouldn't that mean he couldn't communicate normally with Nanaka-san for ten days to half a month! He didn't want that!
"Iori, seniors, I've brought the tea..."
Taking a deep breath, Chisa Kotegawa opened the sliding door with a flushed face, ready to put down the tea and snacks and leave.
Because she sold out her sister's body measurements, she was now very afraid of meeting Yu, as this kind of awkwardness wouldn't dissipate quickly.
However, just as she placed the tray on the floor and was about to turn around, Miyazawa Yu pounced on her with lightning speed and hugged her ankle.
"Chisa! Hit me! Quick, hit the back of my head!"
"Oh! Is he trying to regain a normal state of mind by losing his memory? Yu is truly desperate!"
"Give me a break, seriously!"
Crimson color climbed from her ankle all the way to her snow-white neck. Chisa Kotegawa instantly turned into a steam engine when she was hugged, raised her hand, and slammed the wooden tray onto Yu head before turning around and running away.
"How is it? Did you get what you wanted?"
Half a minute later, Miyazawa Yu sat back down in his original spot with the broken tray on his head.
He threw the sock that little Chisa dropped when she ran away onto Iori face and shook his head regretfully.
"No, Chisa didn't cooperate at all, even though I helped her so much this morning..."
"...It would be a miracle if she cooperated."
Kotobuki Ryujirou silently helped Miyazawa Yu remove the tray from his neck, unable to stand his antics anymore, so he took out his phone and called Azusa Hamaoka.
After all, women understand women's thoughts best. Instead of a few big men huddled together worrying, it was better to call an expert and solve it in one step.
"I see..."
As soon as she heard it was Miyazawa Yu and Nanaka problem, Azusa Hamaoka, who was still in class, immediately became energized and skipped class at lightning speed to rush to Grand Blue.
After feigning an examination of the half-dead Miyazawa Yu, she sat right on his back and started brewing a wicked scheme.
"I understand the situation. There are two solutions. Yu, which one do you want to hear first?"
"...Tell me the most reliable one first!"
With his head pressed into the bedding, to be honest, Miyazawa Yu fundamentally didn't believe Azusa-senpai would kindly help.
One must know that the two of them were declared love rivals. Even if they usually laughed and drank together, at a critical moment, Azusa Hamaoka, that bad woman, would absolutely kick him into a ditch.
However, if it was just for reference, listening to the enemy's opinion wouldn't hurt!
"The reliable method is simple. Yu can directly ask about whatever he is concerned about. Once the doubts are resolved, he will naturally return to a normal state of mind~"
"Hiss..."
As expected, she had ulterior motives! Miyazawa Yu gasped immediately after hearing the suggestion, then looked at Azusa Hamaoka with ill intent.
Imagine, if he really dared to ask Nanaka-san directly if she was really 36E, Iori would probably have a new roommate that very night!
However, facing his critical gaze, Azusa Hamaoka pulled out a smile and explained unhurriedly: "The one who tied the knot must untie it. Unless Yu hears Nanaka admit it herself, he won't believe it, right?"
"Ugh..."
"Ah, he's instantly cornered. Azusa has a way with little rascals like Yu!"
Seeing Miyazawa Yu looking dissatisfied but unable to find any counter-argument, Shinji Tokita nodded, highly acknowledging Azusa Hamaoka wicked personality.
Now, in the Pab club, the only ones who could reliably handle Yu, besides Nanaka, were probably Azusa!
"...Then what is the other method? Didn't Azusa-senpai say there were two methods!"
"Yes! There is another one. It's very simple. As long as Yu confirms a relationship with Nanaka, he won't care about her figure or anything anymore, right~"
"What figure! Azusa-senpai, don't talk nonsense, I'll sue you for defamation!"
This damn woman really came here to cause trouble!
His inner thoughts were stripped bare. Miyazawa Yu instantly jumped up like his butt was on fire and vehemently refuted. His guilty conscience was so obvious that even a blind person could imagine it from his trembling voice.
"Sigh~ Wasn't it because you found Nanaka very sexy that your eyes couldn't move away? After all, a boy's worries are limited to just that..."
Sighing helplessly, Azusa Hamaoka put on the demeanor of an older sister and comforted him softly with a cat-like smirk: "It's okay, it's okay! Yu has grown up too~"
"I said it's not because of her figure!!!"
