The Azure Sea is not a warrior with ripped clothes.

"Well, if it's just a simple dish."

"Hey, then why am I always the one serving GrandBlue?"

With his eyes turning into crescent-shaped eyes, Miyazawa Yu had only ever seen Hamaoka Azusa make okonomiyaki, while Kotobuki-senpai and Tokita-senpai had never even set foot in the kitchen.

Even when helping out at the shop, the two of them wore O-shaped aprons to serve food and assist with tasks.

He thought those two guys were kitchen idiots!

"Hmm...this involves many aspects."

"Most importantly, it feels so good to have food served to you!"

"That's absolutely undeniable!"

The three seniors gathered together, their beady eyes nodding in approval. Seeing this, Miyazawa Yu knew that his meager words were utterly ineffective in moving his seniors.

Helpless, he shook his head and looked at Aina and Kohei.

"Where are you two? Do you know what assorted roast meat is?"

"I should be able to eat sashimi..."

"This kind of thing, which you can eat directly after cutting it up, has absolutely nothing to do with cooking!"

As a blond-haired anime character, Kohei Imamura is unsurprisingly a complete loser when it comes to daily life.

As for Aina, she is quite confident in her cooking skills—after all, she comes from the countryside, and sometimes when the family is busy with farming, they don't have time to cook for her, so she often cooks for herself.

However, her understanding of food was limited to vegetables and meat; as for fish…

"If it's for stir-frying, no problem, but I'm still trying it with aquatic animals."

"I see……"

While it can't be said that everyone in GrandBlue is exceptionally talented, after asking around, it's clear that almost no one in GrandBlue has the potential to be a kitchen disaster.

Having confirmed that they would definitely be able to eat dinner even if they cooked separately, Miyazawa Yu tilted her head slightly, a scheming smile spreading across her face.

"Senior Azusa!"

"Hmm? What's wrong, Yu?"

"I suggest we all cook separately tonight, each of us making one dish, that'll count as participating, right?"

With a smile, Miyazawa Yu approached Hamaoka Azusa and extended a finger, making a seemingly harmless proposal.

The truth is, he needs time to act alone!

To ensure that she wouldn't turn into a sleeping husband again at night, sleeping pills were a must, but going to the pharmacy alone while traveling in a group would be too suspicious!

However, if everyone cooks a dish for dinner, they will have to go out and buy the food separately so that he won't stand out too much!

That was a perfect plan!

"Hey~ Should we break up?"

I'm a little hesitant, since we're all out having fun together. But it shouldn't be a problem if we split up temporarily while shopping, right?

Just as Hamaoka Azusa was about to say no problem, Kitahara Iori suddenly jumped out from some corner, raised his hand, and nodded frantically and seriously!

"I agree! Let's do it this way, Azusa-senpai!"

"Hmph~~?"

Seeing the anxious Iori, Hamaoka Azusa's eyes immediately filled with great suspicion.

After all, if it were just Yu saying that, she could barely convince herself that maybe the other person was just thinking about that, but if Iori were also involved...

Suspicious! Obviously suspicious! These two kids have definitely figured out some secret scheme.

but……

"sure!"

With a slight smile playing on her lips, Hamaoka Azusa waved her hand, indicating that she didn't care.

Seeing this, Miyazawa Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, when Iori jumped out just now, he thought that this guy was here to cause trouble.

My own credibility was already hard to establish with Azusa-senpai, and on top of that, Iori's words were just too suspicious!

Fortunately, the final result was still within the plan, and the three of us slept peacefully without any strange water sounds!

……

"Wow! What a huge market! Let's part ways here!"

Good luck to everyone!

Half an hour later, in front of the farmers' market, Jujiro and Shinji Tokita rushed in, their mouths watering at the dazzling array of seafood.

"The seniors are really energetic..."

"So what should we make? It's definitely simpler to just make sashimi!"

Flipping through the shopping list she had just received, Kotegawa Chisa looked up but could no longer see her senior's back, and could only give a helpless bitter laugh.

Kohei and Aina naturally agreed with her suggestion, since ordering takeout was more convenient than cooking for them.

However, the next second, the three suddenly realized something was wrong—

There were eight people when they arrived, two of them ran away, so why are only the three of them talking now?

She turned around abruptly and looked back, but Yu, Iori, and Azusa-senpai had all disappeared.

It seems these guys ran away even earlier than their predecessors, and they were doing it in a sneaky way!

"Hiss...something's a bit suspicious, Iori and Yu!"

"Huh? Why?"

"Actually, before I came here..."

Frowning and looking around, Kotegawa Chisa hesitated for two seconds with a suspicious expression, then explained, "I think I heard Iori say something about poisoning them or something."

"Huh? Does 'poisoning them' mean Yu?"

Recalling the horrific state of Iori after being swept away by Yuufu, Yoshihara Aina's eyelids twitched, and an ominous premonition welled up in her heart.

After all, Iori has a history of secretly plotting against Yu, although he eventually gave up after confirming that Yu had no feelings for Chisa...

Wait a minute! It seems Chisa has been cursed by the Banana Boat and has fallen for Yu!

"Gulu!"

The motivation is perfect! The stimulus is there, plus Yu himself exudes an incredibly irritating aura.

Yoshihara Aina swallowed hard, her pupils dilating in shock—no way, could it be that Iori discovered Chisa's secret feelings for Yuu, and is now preparing to return to his old ways to catch Yuu off guard!

"Chisa! Something's wrong! Yu might be in danger! Iori's about to commit a crime!"

"What? Calm down, Ai Cai."

"I can't stay calm! This is a matter of life and death! We have to stop it immediately!"

Holding onto Chisa's shoulders and swaying back and forth, Yoshihara Aina thought about it more and more and felt that it made more and more sense, and she became visibly flustered.

Seeing this, although he didn't think Yu was in any danger, Kohei Imamura still gave a thumbs up and pointed behind him.

"In that case, let's find everyone first. I think I saw Tokita-senpai over there just now."

"I'll look for it!"

Both stopping Iori from killing Yu and Yu from killing Iori would require combat power. Hearing Kohei say this, Yoshihara Aina immediately ran in the direction he pointed out.

Determined to save the Pab Club, she finally turned the corner and found Tokita-senpai buying fish when she was exhausted!

"Tokida Mae..."

"Oh, I see. Then I—"

Having not heard anyone call his name, Shinji Tokita looked around the stall, and finally fixed his deep gaze on the fishmonger's face before speaking in a deep voice.

"I want Hamasaki's wife!"

"puff!"

Her hand, which was raised in mid-air, froze in place, and Yoshihara Aina instantly spat out a mouthful of blood.

She wondered if she had misheard. It seemed like Tokita-senpai had just said something quite extraordinary. Could this guy be trying to take advantage of the old lady selling fish?

"..."

I was trembling all over. I never expected that my familiar senior would be a womanizer, and to be so obsessed with mature women!

Yoshihara Aina shivered, then turned and left unsteadily, leaving the space to Tokita-senpai and his lover who were having a pleasant conversation.

"Huh? What happened to Mana? Where's Tokita-senpai?"

"...Tokita-senpai, he actually made a move on a married woman!"

Faced with Kohei's question, Yoshihara Aina covered her face with her hands and shook her head helplessly.

Senior Tokita is no longer reliable! Wait a minute! Shouldn't we call the police immediately? The law will give him the punishment he deserves!

"Hey, wait a minute."

"What did you just hear...?"

Completely bewildered, Kohei and Chisa didn't think that Tokita-senpai would be so shameless as to lay a hand on a married woman, even though he was unreliable!

There must be some misunderstanding here.

"Aina, did you hear me wrong?"

"No! I heard it very clearly with my ears!"

Two streams of tears welled up in her eyes, and Yoshihara Aina choked back sobs as she knelt on the ground, her body bent forward in despair.

Tokita-senpai's words were still echoing in her head, causing her endless torment, so she definitely hadn't misheard!

"Hmm, then it's probably just an auditory hallucination, after all, it's a corpse-making beast."

"I told you not to use such a name! If you don't believe me, you two come with me to see!"

Enraged, she rushed forward and grabbed Kohei by the collar. Yoshihara Aina led the two of them back to where they had been, but unfortunately, Tokita Shinji had already bought his things and left.

However, just as she was extremely disappointed, another muscular, blond-haired figure came into everyone's view.

"Oh! It's Senior Shou!"

Peeking out from behind a telephone pole, Chisa Kotegawa scanned Ryujiro from head to toe, but found nothing amiss about him.

"It's just regular shopping."

"There's nothing strange about it to the naked eye. I guess Aina was just mistaken!"

"Yes, really?"

If she could, Mana would prefer to think she was mistaken, given her impression of her senior...

"Boss! Give me a high school student with a really great figure!"

"Out of the game!!!"

Kohei Imamura, trembling, pulled out his phone from the group of zombie-faced criminals, whose expressions seemed perfectly normal but were actually intent on taking advantage of high school students.

"No! Call the police! We have to call the police now!"

"No, no, Yu's safety is more important than that. We should find him and Iori first!"

"There's no way to argue with that! What's wrong with this market?! Have all the dark sides of everyone been brought to the surface?"

He didn't believe Aina when she said Yu was in danger, but now Kohei Imamura genuinely suspects that Iori has ulterior motives towards Yu.

Even a relatively normal senior has let himself go; Iori can't even imagine what he might do!

"Iori...Iori...we've found her!"

The brain doesn't believe that its predecessor would do something strange, but the situation doesn't allow Chisa to think too much.

With a sudden flash of inspiration, while Kohei and Aina were still torn between calling the police and looking for Iori, she pinpointed Kitahara Iori at the fish stall next door through the crowd!

Fortunately, this guy didn't seem to be doing anything strange; he was just buying fish...

"Um, hello."

"Welcome! What would you like to order, sir?"
