"Ah... I'm exhausted, having students who study too hard is also a kind of torture!"
In the villa at night, Miyazawa Yu collapsed on the sofa, unable to get up again, that guy Miyuki Shirogane really didn't lie, he's genuinely fast at memorizing!
Even his own peak high school self would feel ashamed in comparison, let alone his current brain which has been afflicted with the magic of foolishness by the university.
"Hmm? Is tutoring that tiring?"
"Normal tutoring would probably be fine, after all, it takes time for students to absorb, and I could sneak in a rest~"
Reaching up with both hands, trying to embrace the bright light cast by the fluorescent lamp, Miyazawa Yu continued tearfully: "But this guy is different, he's like a sponge, aggressively squeezing knowledge out of me, I'm about to be squeezed dry!"
"How scary, it took us rotating turns three days to make Yu collapse back then, that student from Shuchi'in Academy is truly remarkable!"
"After all, it's a top-tier educational institution, so how could the student quality be poor!"
After walking around outside, Iori and Kohei gained a lot of knowledge, including specific information about Shuchi'in Academy.
They originally thought it was just a private high school, what's the big deal.
It wasn't until they learned that ninety percent of the capitalists' children in Tokyo attend school here that they truly understood the terror of an aristocratic school!
"Dinner is ready, everyone! Tonight's dinner is sashimi and oysters freshly harvested from Tokyo Bay!"
"Oh! It's a cold dish grand collection! It looks very delicious!"
Azusa Hamaoka walked out of the kitchen with dinner, proving that even with Nanaka help, preparing dinner for nine people was equally difficult.
Especially with Miyazawa Yu on vacation, she rarely felt that having a man nearby was actually quite good, at least she wouldn't have to cook herself.
"Nanaka-san! I want a beer!"
"Just a moment, I'll go get it for you..."
Still dwelling on last night's confession, Nanaka Kotegawa lost her composure the moment her eyes met Yu's.
Piling all the dinner plates in her hands onto Azusa Hamaoka beside her, she tightly closed her eyes, turned, and escaped to get beer for everyone.
"Here! You ungrateful little brat, you don't even know how to care for your older sister..."
Pouting, Azusa Hamaoka placed all the oysters in front of Miyazawa Yu, not kindly tapping the former's head with a dinner plate, before placing the remaining sashimi on the table.
Soon all the beers were also in place, listening to Iori, Aina, and the others chattering and sharing their travel experiences of the day, Miyazawa Yu finally felt a little relaxed.
If only he had a lap pillow right now, it would be great, too bad Nanaka-san definitely wouldn't agree.
But speaking of lap pillows, Azusa-senpai would actually be a bit more comfortable than Nanaka-san, after all, she has more flesh on her legs...
Gulping down the last mouthful of beer, Miyazawa Yu suddenly felt very sleepy, and wasn't the white thing he had been staring at a pillow!
"Kya!"
"Hmm? What's wrong, Azusa?"
"Nothing, it's just that Yu fell asleep, he seems a little too tired."
Patting her enormous conscience, Azusa Hamaoka poked Miyazawa Yu, who was tossing and turning on her lap, twice, then smiled and spread her hands helplessly.
"He seems to be sleeping soundly~"
"No choice, he tutored us in German for five or six days, then corrected papers and killed Yamamoto, and didn't rest last night either, right?"
"Oh! When you put it that way, indeed!"
Putting himself in his shoes, Kohei Imamura realized that even if he stayed up five consecutive nights watching Rarako, his body would probably not be able to take it.
This guy Yu did so many things, and he's only tired now!
"His body is truly resilient! It's amazing!"
"In that case, it's just us! Everyone quietly raise your glasses while Yu is asleep!"
"Oh oh oh!!!"
Looking at the boys who, even while keeping their voices down, moved to the small table next to them to drink and play rock-paper-scissors, Aina Yoshiwara didn't know what to say.
If you say they are heartless, these guys deliberately lowered their voices.
If you say they are loyal, they still have the mood to drink despite being on a trip and one person being exhausted!
In the end, she could only come up with a compromise evaluation—Iori and the others are just pure idiots, thankfully the Pab Club is inclusive, otherwise, they wouldn't be able to survive at all!
"..."
Compared to Aina who was more focused on Iori, Chisa Kotegawa, while biting her spoon, stared at the gently smiling Azusa Hamaoka, tilting her head and sinking into thought.
She is indeed a little aloof in her daily persona, but as a girl, basic romance radar still exists.
Although Azusa-senpai is usually outgoing, would she really give out a lap pillow so easily, without teasing?
And that look in her eyes is almost like strands of silk, isn't it? She seemed to look at Tokita-senpai with a similar gaze a few times when they were drinking before!
"Cough cough! Aina! Don't you think... about Yu and Azusa-senpai, right?"
"Eh?"
With a face of pure foolishness, Aina Yoshiwara was poked in the lower back by Chisa, thinking she was caught peeking at Iori, she quickly put on the defensive posture unique to small animals, curling up into a ball.
After figuring out the situation, she immediately became strongly interested in Miyazawa Yu's situation, holding her hands to her chest and squinting her eyes, she watched for a long time before speaking somewhat incredulously.
"Chisa, are you saying, Azusa-senpai... hmm?"
"You felt it too!"
Their eyes met, Chisa Kotegawa knew her intuition was absolutely right! Azusa-senpai definitely has feelings for Yu!
"Azusa, are your legs uncomfortable? Why don't we send Yu back to his own room to sleep?"
"Hmm... It's fine, let him sleep like this for a bit, we'll talk once he's in a deep sleep."
Completely unaware of the shocked yet ambiguous gaze of the two girls, Azusa Hamaoka gently inserted her fingers into Miyazawa Yu's hair, braiding a little pigtail for him as if to prove her innocence.
"How is it? Isn't he cute~"
"Honestly, Azusa is still so playful, let's talk about it after we finish eating."
"Nanaka-san hasn't noticed at all! Isn't this too dense!"
Covering her eyes with both hands, Aina Yoshiwara watched intensely through the huge gaps between her fingers, her face flushed.
She had originally thought that a love triangle would quietly emerge while Yu was asleep, but unexpectedly, both parties were so polite! This is completely different from what's on TV!
Chisa Kotegawa remained emotionally stable about this, it's a well-known fact that Azusa-senpai likes the three freshmen, so it's natural that her sister didn't notice.
But the current lack of an outburst doesn't mean there won't be one later, should she warn them in advance?
"Hiss..."
Sensing the difficulty, Chisa Kotegawa inhaled a breath of cold air.
Her favorite sister and the very-much-liked Azusa-senpai, confessing to either side would be torture for her.
Looking again at Miyazawa Yu, who was sleeping soundly on Azusa-senpai's bouncy lap, her eyes instantly became scornful and angry—
She's here worrying about his love triangle, and this guy is enjoying himself!
"Bah! Scumbag!"
"Wait, Chisa! Did I hear an inappropriate term just now!"
"Hmm—not at all~"
Her eyes became as empty as Nanaka after blackening, Chisa Kotegawa kept smiling with a darkened face: "Aina, let's just pretend we don't know about this~"
"Mmm! I understand!"
Chisa is so scary!!!
Aina Yoshiwara wailed madly in her heart, she could only say they were worthy of being sisters from the same lineage, even their blackened expressions were so similar.
However, one thing is certain, she must keep everything she saw today bottled up inside.
Otherwise, whether it's Chisa, Nanaka-san, or Azusa-senpai, anyone who exposes her will definitely not have a good outcome!
The love triangle is an adult matter, so let Yu solve it alone!
Although he himself seems innocent and hasn't noticed anything, better dead comrades than a dead me!
"Yu! I hope you stay strong, you must survive!"
Silently mumbling, Aina Yoshiwara frantically finished the food in her bowl, then happily ran to the boys' side for refuge.
However, for her right now, there is actually good news, which is that her realization of self-preservation has finally caught up with Iori and Yu when they first joined the club.
Aina's Pab-ification has progressed further! Truly a cause for celebration!
