The Azure Sea is not a warrior with ripped clothes.

No! Why is that little girl still haunting me?!

She didn't join in when I was buying the family movie set, but then she popped up and surprised me by taking a break before I went home to buy a classic movie to watch!

"Oh?"

"What's wrong, Caiyexiang?"

"fine……"

Tilting her head, Ayaka Uehara stared ahead with a puzzled look in her eyes, feeling that the hem of her clothes that had just flashed by seemed somewhat familiar.

Betting on the boxer's amazing reflexes and dynamic perspective, she was certain that it was the same style as Yu-gege's jacket, but the other party probably had no reason to hide from them, right?

"Then let's search separately! Hopefully, the latest chapter of 'Love Beach' isn't sold out here."

"Yoshi!"

"..."

Secretly observing from behind the shelves, Miyazawa Yu analyzed Hibiki and Ayaka's movements with cold sweat dripping down his back, realizing that no matter what he did, he couldn't escape their gaze as they checked out and left.

Moreover, this bookstore is too small. If the two of them are left to search blindly, they are likely to get stuck in a dead end!

Therefore, the best option right now is undoubtedly...

He glanced at the 18th ward, keeping an eye on the girls' movements, and carefully moved his feet back, finally hiding behind the curtain again.

Now, as long as Hibiki and Ayaka don't come to buy classic works, the two of them will definitely not find that there are acquaintances hiding inside!

"Phew... I'm finally safe! Whoa!"

"ah!"

However, just as Miyazawa Yuu breathed a sigh of relief, thinking the danger was over and he only needed to wait quietly for Sakura Hibiki and the others to leave on their own...

As soon as he turned around, he was startled by the silent man in black standing behind him. He jumped back half a step and almost fell outside the curtain.

Fortunately, although the other person was also startled and screamed, they were quick-witted enough to reach out and pull him away, thus preventing the former from being caught by his friends buying the notebook and suffering the social humiliation of being exposed.

"Thank goodness! I didn't know you were inside..."

Barely managing to steady himself, Miyazawa Yu stood frozen in place for a long time, still shaken. Only when he heard Sakura Hibiki outside still complaining about not being able to find the novel did he finally relax and sincerely thank her.

However, at the same time, he was also observing the woman in black who was very close by. Judging from her voice, she was undoubtedly a woman, which was really strange.

It's important to know that while BL books are also considered banned, unlike classic works which have separate sections, they can be obtained directly from the store shelves.

In other words, the girl in front of him was indeed there to buy classic works, and there's no denying that!

"Um...it's nothing..."

With her head down, the girl in black hunched her shoulders, seemingly very shy.

There's nothing we can do about it. After all, the 18th ward is just a small space with a curtain hanging over it. Its total area is smaller than a toilet. An adult squatting down might have their butt exposed outside.

When two adults of similar height stand face to face, physical contact is inevitable for the girl, so it would be strange if she wasn't shy!

"Ah~ found it, this store really does have leftovers!"

"Then let's hurry up and go. It's getting late. Didn't you need to buy new clothes before you could go home?"

"Oh right! I need to change my clothes!"

Reminded by Ayaka, Hibiki Sakura slapped her forehead and suddenly realized that she hadn't changed her clothes yet!

She grabbed the book from the ground and rushed to the counter to pay. To avoid being nagged by her mother when she got home, she needed to quickly get a new outfit!

"OK! I'm so sorry, I even knocked your book over..."

As the footsteps faded into the distance, Miyazawa Yu was now certain that the crisis was truly over.

He stepped back two steps to give the exceptionally well-built girl some space, and only then did he notice that there were many notebooks scattered on the ground, which looked like items that the girl hadn't had time to pay for yet.

"Let me pick it up for you!"

"No need! I can do it myself!"

As Miyazawa Yu smiled apologetically and bent down, a sudden tension flashed in the purple pupils behind the black-clad girl's sunglasses, and she quickly reached out to stop her.

Unfortunately, it was too late; the former had already picked up four or five books and was holding them in his arms.

"It's alright, consider it part of your apology..."

Halfway through his sentence, as Miyazawa Yu finally saw what the notebook he had picked up actually was, his expression instantly froze—"Big Sister's Secret!", "The Girl Next Door's Private Tutoring"...

His gaze darted wildly between the newly picked-up book and the works in his arms, and he made two lists in his mind, equating any books that were the same with those in his collection.

Five seconds later, holding a stack of classic works that could be described as copies, Miyazawa Yu's eyes instantly filled with doubt.

This strange tacit understanding, the strikingly similar hobbies, and that very familiar "Ah!" from just now...

"Senior Azusa?"

"Sigh... What Azusa-senpai? I've never met anyone named Hamaoka Azusa before..."

“Liar!!!”

This further confirmed his suspicions. With a dark expression, Miyazawa Yu gently lifted the girl's hood, and sure enough, her familiar short, slightly wavy purple hair immediately became fluffy.

"Huh? That hair looks so familiar! Azusa-senpai!"

"..."

Silently, Hamaoka Azusa shoved the last classic book in her hand into Yu's hands, then solemnly took off her sunglasses, turned her head, stuck out her little tongue, and tried to get away with it by being cute.

"Hehe~☆"

"Don't think that just because you've handed me a classic work you can pretend you know nothing!"

With a helpless sigh, she realized that the only person in the world who could be in sync with her to this extent was Senior Azusa.

He put the hood and sunglasses back on her, then pulled her to the front desk to pack up both of the same items and pay for them. After all, she was his girlfriend, and he should spoil her.

While paying the bill, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the book "Love Beach" that Xiang had just bought.

If I remember correctly, weren't Mana and Chisa both reading this novel?

……

"We're back!"

"Welcome back, Azusa-senpai! Did Yuu come back too?"

At 8:30 pm, I was watching the seniors' daily baseball boxing with a look of disgust but also getting used to it.

When Yoshihara Aina heard Azusa's voice, she immediately turned around and saw that Yu, who hadn't been seen all day, had followed Azusa in.

My little brain immediately started working at high speed, and my romantic drama radar kept going off—could it be that these two people actually went to meet in secret?

"Gurgle! That senior student, Azusa..."

"STOP!"

With a smack, he smeared the sealing paper onto Mana's face. Miyazawa Yu knew what she wanted to ask as soon as he saw the former blushing, so he immediately interrupted the love-struck Mana's spellcasting.

"Whoa! Yu, what are you doing? What's this?"

She was initially fuming and ready to settle scores, but the next second, as she tore open the package, Yoshihara Mana's expression instantly changed to one of surprise and delight. She asked, "Ah! The latest issue of 'Koi Beach,' is it for me?"

"Yeah, I ran into Azusa-senpai at the bookstore earlier, so we came back together..."

"Oh, I see! Arigato!"

Successfully bribed! With her new love, Yoshihara Ai no longer cared about secret meetings, and instead nestled on Nanaka's lap, happily reading a novel.

"Aina, she's so easy to handle..."

"That's right!"

Chapter 209: Judging by appearances, they've gone mad with Galgames.

"Have you guys noticed that Yu has been acting strangely these past two days?"

Walking under the scorching sun on a hot day, Kitahara Iori felt like a squid on a hot plate; if she didn't flip it over in time, she would probably burn.

"The company is saying..."

"Not only were they acting suspiciously, but they also had to hide from us when answering the phone."

"They even asked the four of us to come out and buy ice cream on such a hot day. Seriously, is it really necessary for four people to go together to buy ice cream?"

His equally dejected colleagues, including Kohei, Chisa, and Aina, all shared the same sentiment.

Although Yu did give them a lot of money to go out and buy ice cream as much as they wanted, it felt like an adult was coaxing a child to run errands. Even though they were eating ice cream, they were still unhappy!

Chisa and Mana originally wanted to refuse by acting cute, but the other party's heart was made of ancient iron. He actually threatened not to give them dinner. It was so despicable!

"This situation..."

Suddenly stopping in his tracks, Kohei Imamura clenched his fists with a sorrowful expression, tears streaming down his face and instantly evaporating on the asphalt.

"He must have cheated! In a visual novel, the woman suddenly acting all secretive means something must have gone wrong and something unexpected happened!"

"What?! Cheating?!"

"Ignore his love of food, this guy must have gone crazy from playing Galgame last night!"

With a single sentence revealing the truth, Kotegawa Chisa patted the instantly flustered Mana, her eyes showing nothing but exhaustion.

As for how she knew, Kohei spent the whole day yesterday playing Galgames at Grand Blue just to enjoy the air conditioning!

She witnessed the latter's girlfriend being taken away by someone else, and at the time she wondered why anyone would like to play this kind of game.

"No! Xiao Kong has her reasons! Damn it! Why didn't this lousy game indicate NTL?"

"He's really gone crazy from playing games. But if Yu has his reasons, like accidentally touching something, he should take responsibility, right?"

"Now that you mention it, Iori..."

They all looked up. Although Yu usually seemed carefree and like a scumbag, he would definitely take full responsibility if he accidentally hurt a girl.

If he accidentally makes a mistake while drunk, he might have to grit his teeth and bear it...

Four pairs of eyes flashed with fear at the same time. Kotegawa Chisa was the first to recover and awkwardly laughed as she comforted them, "But the probability of this happening is almost zero, right?"

"But anything is possible..."

"..."

The GrandBlue freshman sprint race started abruptly, with the starting point being the landing point for the four participants, and the finish line being GrandBlue!

After a brief silence, without any communication, Iori's false start served as the starting gun, and the remaining three people also began to run wildly with grim faces.

What should have been a ten-minute run, they covered in less than four minutes!

"Ha...ha...Yu! You can't do anything that will disappoint your sister!"

"That's right! If anything happens, our Pab department will work together to find a way to compensate. There will definitely be an umbrella; it's a better solution than offering yourself in return!"

As soon as they burst into Grand Blue, before they could even see what was going on, Chisa Kotegawa and Mana Yoshihara immediately began to earnestly advise them.

If Yuu were gone, Azusa-senpai and Nanaka-nee would definitely be heartbroken, and it wouldn't be impossible for the entire Pab Club to fall apart as a result!

"Huh? What strange things are you talking about?"

After signing the acceptance report with a completely bewildered expression, Miyazawa Yu bowed slightly to see the assembler out the door before turning to look at the rambling Chisa.

"Also, why did you come back so quickly? Didn't I tell you to play outside a little longer?"

"but……"

The assembly worker walking past you is definitely male, without a doubt!

Given that Yu is a real man, Kotegawa Chisa suddenly realized with embarrassment that she seemed to have a vivid imagination, and wondered if it was something Aina had instilled in her.

But does GrandBlue's maintenance issue also fall under You's jurisdiction? And why hide from me when it's just decorating something?

"Ahem! Anyway, Yu is definitely hiding something from us, right? Come on, tell us the truth!"

After coughing awkwardly twice, Yoshihara Aina hid the steaming Chisa on her head behind her back, then her face suddenly turned serious as she reprimanded, "Secrets are strictly forbidden in the Pab Club! Yu doesn't want us to search under his bed, does he?"

"Well, it's not really a secret."

Transforming the second floor of Grand Blue into a home theater is a major undertaking that will take up the entire room, and Miyazawa Yu had no intention of hiding it from Mana and the others.

However, since the clues had already been discovered, he frowned and thought for two seconds, then helplessly spread his hands and reminded him, "Showing it to you in advance isn't impossible, but you might feel very uncomfortable after seeing it..."

"No matter how painful it is, I have to watch it!"
