The Azure Sea is not a warrior with ripped clothes.

Miyazawa Yu's pupils constricted in admiration of Aina's remarkably stable mental state. He kicked aside Kohei, who was still foolishly eating pork cutlet rice, and loudly apologized, "Ah! Sorry, I accidentally spilled something on myself! Aina, go and clean yourself up!"

"What the hell are you doing?! Can't you speak normally?!"

"There's no time to explain!"

Picking up Aina's luggage bag, Miyazawa Yu pushed her, who was hugging her chest, and ran past Kohei. They managed to open the bathroom door without being noticed by anyone.

He opened and locked the toilet door quickly and smoothly. Listening to the sound of water, he leaned against the door thoughtfully for a few seconds before a wronged voice came from inside the toilet.

"The clothes... are no longer wearable."

"So Aina has emotions too! That's great!"

Having given prior notice, Miyazawa Yu opened the other person's luggage and found a change of dress for her, slipping it through the crack in the door.

I'm glad that Aina can still feel wronged; at least it shows that she hasn't completely immersed herself in the vague competition, and I still have room to offer some advice.

Has Aina already decided on Kohei?

Leaning against the door of the toilet, acting as a bodyguard, he began to probe Aina's feelings. Everyone else could only offer their help; only the girl herself could figure out her own inclinations.

"……do not know."

In the bathroom, the operation failed to attract Kohei's attention, and Yoshihara Aina, wearing a dress, even had tears welling up in her eyes!

As for her own feelings, she wasn't really sure. She just didn't want Kohei to be taken away by a bad woman. The wig and fake breasts were necessary equipment to balance the fighting power!

"I don't know. Should we continue wearing the fake breasts? It would be best to remove them before anyone notices."

It's now certain that Mana and Kohei are just one step away from confessing their feelings. Miyazawa Yu kindly reminds her that it's best not to make any moves and let things happen naturally.

And even if you're going to wear fake breasts, at least make them look real. What's the point if they slip out with the slightest bump?

"..."

Without responding, she simply opened the door and walked out. Miyazawa Yu looked up and saw that her fake breasts, which couldn't block out the sky at all, were still there. Mana's expression was extremely serious.

"At the very least, I need Kohei to confess his feelings to me! That's my ultimate goal in coming to Palau! Help me, Yu!"

Chapter 289 Hello, Mother-in-law!

"Yu, what were you whispering with Mana behind us? I feel like something's off about her!"

"They didn't say anything~ Iori, don't worry unnecessarily."

When they landed in Palau around 10 p.m., Miyazawa Yu kept her eyes straight ahead as she exited the station, completely ignoring the idiot Iori who had dark circles under her eyes and was acting suspiciously.

Instead of worrying about Mana's condition, this guy should be thinking about how to get Chisa to forgive him.

Although no one took Iori's casual ramblings seriously, Chisa was clearly serious. Her face was flushed, and she charged ahead like a pig, refusing to look back.

That's not very frank. You should have a heart-to-heart talk with Nanaka tonight, so that Chisa won't be so upset that she killed Iori.

"By the way, Nana-chan, do we have someone to pick us up from the airport? It's so late, we probably can't go straight to Dolphin, right?"

"Okay, we'll go to the guesthouse first today, and then meet in front of it at six o'clock the next morning to assign tasks, but..."

Clinging tightly to Chisa's back, Kotegawa Nanaka grabbed her hand, forcing her sulking sister to slow down. She then turned apologetically to Miyazawa Yu, pleading, "And, I'm sorry Yu! I'll make it up to you tonight!"

"Huh? Why the sudden apology..."

This was the first time I'd ever seen Nanaka-nee make such an expression. Miyazawa Yu, carrying Iori who kept muttering to herself and insisting on helping Kohei and Mana get that final push, looked at the former in bewilderment.

There was no answer, because their mouths were gagged!

Emerging from the darkness, a stylish woman with a single ponytail, her skin perfectly matching the occasion, quickly passed by Nana, who, before she could even see what was happening, had a lollipop stuffed into her mouth.

"I told Nanaka not to say it, just so I could see what you would be like without any preparation."

"Ah~ Hello, Auntie! *glug*"

"Good evening, Iori. Have you changed your sexual orientation after all these years?"

As she handed him a lollipop, Sayaka Kotekawa, standing in front of Yu Miyazawa, slightly lowered her sunglasses and stared at Iori's dark circles for a long time. "Staying up all night?"

"Woo..."

Feeling guilty, Chisa Kotegawa trembled all over, and cold sweat quickly seeped out from her back. Compared to her casualness with her father, she had been like a child yearning for recognition ever since Sayaka appeared.

The act of straightening one's posture and subconsciously suppressing one's facial expressions is entirely without conscious intent; these behaviors are purely instinctive.

Similarly, she didn't want her mother to know that she had used violence...

"Hmm...you could say that."

I haven't seen Aunt Sayawa for several years, but she's still as decisive as ever. Perhaps that's why she came to Palau to run a branch store on her own...

Thinking this, Kitahara Iori glanced at the pitiful Chisa, sighed, and changed her words, saying, "That's right, after all, I was excited about going abroad for many days!"

"Is that so?"

Noticing Iori's gaze directed at her second daughter, Sayako Kotekawa shrugged without saying anything and continued handing out candy. The slightly socially awkward duo all received some until…

"Miyazawa Yu?"

"Yes! Hello, Mother-in-law!"

"Tsk~"

With an annoyed click of her tongue, Kotekawa Sayaka stared at the guy in front of her, whose appearance and demeanor were passable. She couldn't think of any words to criticize him, so she could only express her dissatisfaction with a click of her tongue!

"Open your mouth, it's your turn!"

"Aww."

The moment the sugar touched her tongue, an indescribable bitterness spread, but Miyazawa Yu was prepared and accepted the little surprise calmly and without batting an eye.

"Thank you for picking me up from the airport, Mother-in-law. It's so late, should I drive the car back?"

"Then I'll have to trouble you. Chisa hasn't seen you in a long time."

After catching the car keys thrown to him, Miyazawa Yu sighed and pulled the candy out of his mouth as Sayaka turned around, but he couldn't spit out so as not to leave a bad impression.

"Iori, water!"

"Why are you making such a grimacing face when you're eating a lollipop? Is your tongue ruined?"

"I wish my tongue were ruined! Bitter melon flavored lollipop, is that even possible? What's the manufacturer thinking?"

After frantically rinsing his mouth and swallowing, Miyazawa Yu glared at Iori and held the yellowish-brown lollipop up to him. Iori stubbornly refused any further contact that might be contagious!

Well, actually, he just believed Yu's explanation. After all, judging from the uncomfortable expression on Yu's face during his constipation, he would believe it even if it tasted like canned herring.

But that shouldn't be the case. Although Aunt Sayaka has a colder temperament than Chisa, she is actually a very soft-hearted person. She wouldn't do such a prank!

"Hey You, isn't it a bit too direct of you to call your mother-in-law right off the bat? Are you being rejected?"

"No! For example..."

Miyazawa Yu skillfully pressed the car key to find the car, and then helped Aina and the others move their luggage to the trunk. He pointed to Iori, who was helping him, as an example.

"Imagine how it would feel if you hadn't been home for years, and suddenly fell in love with a man who was openly two-timing you, and you wanted to stay with him forever?"

"..."

Tighten! Kitahara Iori clenched his fists just by imagining it for a moment, and his right hand, which was behind his back, had somehow produced a baseball bat that could take down Yu in his normal state.

If this bastard dares to two-time, even if it hurts him a little, as his older brother, he will kill Yu to rid the people of this scourge!

"Got it? And put the baseball bat down right now, automatic pickup is not allowed!"

"...Yu, you're a real jerk! So you have to make Nanaka-nee and Azusa-senpai happy, or I'll kill you!"

After a long silence, Kitahara Iori stuffed the extra baseball bat into the trunk, his jaw muscles bulging as he raised two middle fingers as a gesture of blessing.

To be honest, you can't speak for others without experiencing it firsthand. If it weren't for the fact that there was something more to it, he would never have questioned the relationship between Yu, Azusa-senpai, and Nana-ka-nee.

I thought he was just a lucky bastard, but I didn't expect that he hasn't been killed by Uncle Toshio yet. It was a cunning scheme that he had been planning step by step from the very beginning!

"I know, you don't need to tell me."

With a sigh, Miyazawa Yu felt so insecure about meeting the parents, or rather, he had already prepared himself to be eliminated the first time he returned to Grand Blue from Tokyo.

Fortunately, Uncle Toshio is as kind-hearted as Sister Nanaka, otherwise his epitaph might have read that he was killed by his father-in-law.

"Yu, I'm sorry, but my mom still seems a little hesitant to accept it. Is the candy very bitter?"

Chisa's meeting with her mother did not lead to another conflict. Kotegawa Nanaka, clutching her chest, went around to the back of the car, took a lollipop out of her mouth, and put it into her boyfriend's mouth.

"It's so bitter~"

"..."

Sensing the awkward atmosphere and realizing that staying might mean being forced to witness their affection, Kitahara Iori's eyes sharpened, and she turned and left.

Honestly, what business is it of yours if a young couple is being affectionate? It's better to mind your own business in the future, so you don't get labeled as a third wheel!

After Iori left, Miyazawa Yu didn't throw away the bitter melon. With a quick glance, he put it in his mouth and bit it in half with a little force. Then he waved wildly at Nana Hana-nee!

Under the cover of the car and luggage, the sweet lollipop disappeared without a trace, and although the two men were filled with bitterness, they were in high spirits.

"!!!"

The hand on Chisa's shoulder froze. Kotekawa Sayaka stared at her car and the two shameless guys behind it, her right hand trembling with anger.

Dumbfounded, Chisa Kotegawa looked at her mother's forehead where several veins were bulging. Just as she was about to turn around to see what had happened, her face was held firmly by the former.

"Now I think you're more like a good child than your sister..."

With trembling hands, she took off her glasses. Although she said that, Sayaka did not rush over to break up the couple. Doing so would only make Nanaka unhappy and would not do any good!

"Everyone! Get on the bus quickly, the navigation has located the guesthouse!"

After closing the trunk, Miyazawa Yu, having shaken off the miserable expression of being targeted by his mother-in-law, sat in the front seat and drove, while Kotegawa Nanaka, blushing, covered her swollen lips and invited everyone to get in the car!

Fortunately, we had informed them in advance, and the Kotegawa family mother and daughter were able to catch up at the end of the third row of bread, while Mana and Kohei were assigned to the second row as a sweet duo.

As for Iori, this guy who still hasn't realized where true love is, he only deserves to share the driver and passenger seats with married men!

"By the way, I took a look at the distribution of guesthouses..."

Turning the key and driving off, Miyazawa Yu should have been treated like a guest, not having to do anything, but unfortunately his mother-in-law wouldn't allow him to act recklessly!

"Because of the shortage of beds, it seems that boys and girls can't sleep together. Mother-in-law, is it alright for Nana-ka and me to sleep in a double room?"

"Huh? You?"

Even in the car, she would cross her legs. After taking off her sunglasses, Sayaka Kotekawa's temperament became even more aloof. Sitting between her daughters, she looked like a domineering female boss with women on both sides.

"I'm sorry, but you can't live together until I see your marriage certificate, not even in one of my properties!"

"Ugh?"

Chapter 290 Mother-in-law: As for You, she will live with me.

All eyes turned away. Although they had long suspected that Yu might be harassed, the fact that they couldn't even live together was somewhat cruel.

Having endured for quite some time, Nanaka Kotegawa's eyes dimmed for a moment, then she took a deep breath and stood up to try to reason with her mother!

"Mom! Although Yu-tae... well, I can't possibly sleep at your place!"

"Nana-chan!"

Looking ahead, my expectations are much higher than this. It's just that Nana-chan was taken away for a week or two. Miyazawa Yu isn't a kid who can't sleep alone. It's nothing serious.

Compared to that, he absolutely did not want to see a mother and daughter, who were originally enjoying a happy reunion, turn against each other.

Making a mistake should result in being punished and standing at attention. Crying and complaining about being punished without considering the context is something only an immature child would do!

"It's alright. My mother-in-law's house should be much bigger. Five beds are enough for us."

"But!"

"Wait a minute! No! What are you talking about..."

Sayako Kotekawa, whose adorable eldest daughter had an unusually furrowed brow, bit the candy in her mouth, pulled out the plastic stick, and waved it a couple of times, interrupting the two little ones' affectionate conversation.

It has to be said that apart from the fact that this boy is not very decent, his relationship with his daughter is so close that even his mother can't compare.

But as I said before, she never called Nanaka and Chisa over to argue.

"Nanaka and Chisa are sleeping in the twin room, Iori is sleeping in the attic, and this couple must be a couple too, right? The king-size bed is yours~"

"what?"

Pointing at the flattened lollipop stick, Yoshihara Aina hesitated for two seconds before her face instantly turned as red as a crab. She pointed at herself and then at Imamura Kohei, steam rising from her head as she frantically shook her head.

Although we've slept in the same room before, sharing a bed is too fast! I can't accept it!
