"..."
"Start early, then be rejected early to end it all, and then hold your head high and embark on a new journey!"
The cunning and mischievous persona takes center stage; she puts a finger to her lips to indicate that these words must never be uttered.
"This is merely a kind reminder of the reflection of my past struggles, nothing more!"
"Woo..."
Her stubborn streak was immediately brought to the surface, and Sakurako Busujima bared her fangs fiercely, threatening, "You're so kind, aren't you afraid of losing people?"
"Don't worry, Yu-chan may seem like he likes to play, but he's actually a good kid and very thoughtful. I trust him!"
Chapter 203 Senior: Yu! Let's just get married!
"Ahhh—! I had another great night..."
"That means you should hurry up and wash up. For breakfast, go to the 24-hour convenience store next door."
The morning sunlight streamed through the window, illuminating the blissful O-man. The sunlight mingled with the holy light, creating an effect greater than the sum of its parts, comparable to a flashbang.
Following Jujiro and Shinji Tokita, the hangover-stricken men of Pab Club woke up one after another and began searching for their panties in the crowd.
"Haa~ Yu said last night that she wanted to play the second half, but I haven't seen her at all."
"They must have had a great time out and just checked into a hotel, right? Looks like I'll have to fend for myself for breakfast..."
As soon as I opened the door, a wave of hot air rushed into the room.
Although Iori's bedroom, which also serves as the club room, is a bit run-down, at least it has a working air conditioner. The Grand Blue lobby, on the other hand, is a living hell that is completely unfit for human habitation!
Even so, the Snail Maiden still exists in this hell!
"Are you all finally awake? Breakfast is ready! There are too many people today, so we'll have fried rice with eggs!"
"The...Snail Girl!"
"I'm so incredibly touched that someone other than my mom would wake me up for breakfast in my lifetime!!!"
"Yu! Let's just get married!"
Tears welled up uncontrollably. Although it was just fried rice, the emotions it conveyed were so intense that even lava couldn't melt them!
If possible, how can such a helpful household helper be kept at home by only Nana-ka!
Let's buy a dozen wholesale, I'd like to keep one at home too!
"...Senior, I want to report sexual harassment!"
Although he didn't know what illness his seniors had relapsed into, Miyazawa Yu still silently took out his phone, preparing to call the police and have all his seniors arrested.
Both my body and soul belong to Nana-chan and Azusa-senpai, and these big, burly guys shouldn't even think about touching them!
"Well, sorry, when did Yu come back? Where are Yuu, Yuu, and Yuu? - Moonchair 1 Strangely, Daddy died, Shrimp, Iori, and Kohei?"
"This morning... a little after three? Those two are sleeping in the room that was originally assigned to Iori. They probably won't wake up before the afternoon."
After wrapping the two portions of fried rice twice with plastic wrap, Miyazawa Yu warily reminded them, "These two portions are for Azusa-senpai and Nanaka-nee, so don't sneak a bite!"
"Okay, Yu, are you going out so early?"
"Hmm, SILVERMANGYM is having a promotion, and there's a big item I've been wanting to buy..."
Taking off his apron to catch the first bus, he yawned and listlessly turned to say goodbye: "See you later~"
"be safe……"
The click of the door hinge closing rang out, and Tokita Shinji's tears immediately flowed uncontrollably, as if he were witnessing his child's wedding.
Purchasing large items is something that people renting or even buying a house might not do. Doing it means that you are prepared to live there for at least ten years.
Yu has actually started buying big items at GrandBlue; it's like she's aiming for marriage!
"Shou, it seems we need to prepare our red envelopes. We absolutely cannot let You underestimate us!"
"Understood! Nanaka's red bean rice will also be on the agenda! Ganbatte, everyone!"
"Oh!!!"
……
On the other hand, completely unaware that his words had stirred up such excitement among his seniors, he rushed off to work to earn money for the celebration without even opening the wine after the meal.
Miyazawa Yu took a bus directly to the city center, and then transferred to the light rail to arrive at SILVERMANGYM before eight o'clock.
At this time, Armwrestling's check-in had not yet started, and the front desk was still empty. He greeted the staff and went directly into the staff entrance to the competition venue.
"Good morning, Mingzao! Oh dear~ Is the competition venue still not set up? The boss is really something, at least pay attention to this kind of event."
Because it was a national tournament, Miyazawa Yu originally thought the venue would be built in a dark basement like an underground boxing gym or an informal gladiatorial arena.
To prevent athletes from injuring others, eerie and terrifying octagonal cages with spikes and high-voltage electricity will be erected around the arena.
But in fact, none of the above-mentioned items were there. SILVERMANGYM simply moved all the equipment from the gym area out and then built a platform with steel bars.
Not only that, the owner of SILVERMANGYM seems to be particularly inhumane. Not only was the venue not finished just hours before the competition, but he also made his employees do hard labor!
"Ah~ Yu, you're here so early! You look very energetic!"
With two I-beams slung over his shoulder, Jie Xiongming turned to look at You, a healthy smile playing on his lips: "This isn't exploiting employees, it's a necessary safety measure!"
"Huh? It's just an arm-wrestling competition, do we really need something like this?"
Peeking out from behind Yu, Hibiki Sakura stared speechlessly with her half-moon eyes, her gaze fixed on the over three-meter-long I-beam as she followed the rise and fall of Naruzo's athletic movements.
Building materials of this strength are so strong that even if you stepped on them and wrestled with them, you probably couldn't even scratch them. Using them here is really a waste of their potential.
"Hibiki arrived early too, and he looks very energetic! Very energetic!"
"I said……"
Pointing to his dark circles, Miyazawa Yu yawned and complained with a look of utter exasperation, "Naruzo, what exactly is your standard for judging whether someone is energetic or not? Can't you see these huge dark circles?"
"Exactly! They were so excited about the prize money that they couldn't sleep all night!"
Waving her hands in protest, Sakura Hibiki's proud expression made it seem as if being tormented by greed and unable to sleep all night was an extremely honorable thing.
But for Miyazawa Yu...
"hiss……"
"Hey, Yu-gege, don't come up to me so suddenly!"
He pressed his face close to Sakura Hibiki's, startling her so much that her face turned bright red instantly. After hesitating for a long time, Miyazawa Yuu finally bowed deeply to Naruzo to apologize.
"Sorry, I misunderstood you. It turns out that sometimes you really can't see dark circles under your eyes!"
"Hey! Yu, what do you mean by this?!"
"Well, there's nothing we can do about the character's dark-skinned hottie persona..."
It was really hard to find dark circles under Hibiki's dark skin, so Miyazawa Yu touched the back of his head and forcibly changed the subject: "So, do you still need help on the field? I don't mind warming up a bit."
"No need, adding these two more should solve the problem..."
Lifting the curtain beneath the stage, Jie Xiongming inserted the last two I-beams into the remaining slots to secure them before patting the competition area twice with relief.
"In terms of strength, even if you brought an African elephant to tap dance on it, it would be completely useless!"
"An African elephant?! What do you take this arm-wrestling competition for?!"
Startled by the outrageous remarks, Hibiki Sakura turned around warily, wondering if the men's final might involve fighting African elephants in an octagon, and if animal rights activists would come knocking on her door!
"Hmm... given Naruzo's physical abilities, is an African elephant really a match for him?"
"Don't be ridiculous, how could humans possibly defeat the power of nature!"
"That's exactly what I meant! Hahahaha!"
They put their arms around each other's shoulders and laughed loudly. Even though Yu and Naruzo both had clean-cut and handsome faces, Sakura Hibiki, who knew it was a trap, couldn't muster any interest at all!
"Speaking of which, SILVERMANGYM is a well-known gym, so there must be a lot of participants in the arm wrestling competition, right?"
After praising nature as if that would wash away all his superhuman abilities, Miyazawa Yu turned and grabbed Naruzo's shoulder, saying slyly, "Hey, quickly bring out the competition rules and schedule. Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated."
"I understand. We were going to put it up anyway, but we printed a new version because someone might not be able to come at the last minute."
With the two who had arrived exceptionally early due to their greed for money, Machio Naruzo confirmed with the department responsible for preparing the event and finally obtained the latest competition format list, which was posted in the SILVERMANGYM lobby.
Miyazawa Yu frowned as he scanned the room from top to bottom, finally summarizing it in four words—"A gathering of heroes!"
However, in terms of the participating countries, Russia, as a powerhouse in Armwrestling, has a significantly larger number of participants than other regions.
"It looks like it's going to be a fierce battle..."
"Yeah, right! Why are there only two girls in the women's group?! Did they even promote it properly?"
Seeing the single-digit number of contestants, Hibiki Sakura's eyebrows shot up in frustration.
If Yu's side is a fierce battle, then her side is indeed "starving" because eating and drinking are prohibited in the arena. Just standing there watching the men's group matches is enough to make her hungry!
Where's Tachibana-sensei?! Where's Soryuin?! Didn't we agree to participate in the competition together?!
Chapter 204 The Men's Group, Overflowing with Criminal Intent
"Ugh! Liar!"
Enraged, her cheeks puffed up like a pufferfish as she faced the late-arriving Rimi Tachibana and Ayaka Uehara, Hibiki Sakura's fur stood on end.
Since there's no registration fee for one or two, it's fine if they accompany me for one round!
"Well, with Hibiki around, we can't win no matter what~"
"But you can't leave me all alone, it's so lonely! This is blatant isolation!"
"I completely agree with that!"
Miyazawa Yu nodded solemnly, arms crossed. Although there was a reason for it, it was like agreeing to play games together, but when the time came, he was the only one left on the account.
Pigeons are engaging in extremely bad behavior, so they absolutely cannot be let off easily! At the very least, they should apologize with a green onion stuck in their butt!
"sorry Sorry!"
With her hands clasped together and one eye closed, Ayaka Uehara said apologetically and ingratiatingly, "Please forgive me for accompanying Hibiki shopping this afternoon~"
"Yoshi! I forgive you!"
"Huh? Is it that simple?"
"that……"
Looking at the long, bright green object in Miyazawa Yu's hand with confusion, Tachibana Rimi tilted her head and instinctively sensed something was wrong. "What's this green onion for?"
"It's nothing. Scumbags will randomly spawn weapons within a five-kilometer radius. Isn't that common sense?"
After calmly explaining with his hands outstretched, Miyazawa Yu then disappointedly left the green onions at the front desk.
With the price of onions in Japan skyrocketing lately, I'll use them to cook tonight, which will save me some money.
"What kind of galaxy common sense is this...?"
Not only did Yu seem more abstract than before, but he also seemed to have gained many strange passive skills, which suddenly increased Tachibana Rimi's sense of crisis.
If the other party continues to develop like this, they shouldn't turn into a bad kid who uses their weaknesses to threaten others, right?
What should I do? I suddenly feel so unsafe!
"The women's preliminary round is the final round..."
On the other side, looking at the women's group's remarkably simple competition process, Ayaka awkwardly scratched her face, thankful that she hadn't participated in the competition.
Xiang's opponent was a Russian, and judging from his nationality alone, he seemed like a master who often fought against Siberian black bears.
If I were to go on stage and get knocked out by both opponents and Hibiki in a tag-team match, I'd probably be so embarrassed I'd want to bang my head against a block of tofu!
In contrast, although the men's group also has no weight limit, the density of participants is on a completely different level compared to the women's group.
As for the contestants...
“Swish!”
The door to SILVERMANGYM was flung open, and four burly men exuding an ominous aura walked in side by side. Their uniformly dark eyes made them look like members of a criminal gang at first glance.
"Wow! That's so hardcore! Brother Yu, if you win, you won't get shot to death, will you?"
