"Of course! I've already simulated the perfect college freshman dorm countless times! Let me get some props!"

Having gained experience from working with senior artist Shou on assembling classic works before.

Miyazawa Yu did not raise any objections to the twin-tailed figure and the little sister-themed anime poster that Imamura Kohei brought.

On the contrary, he is also very interested in the figurines and posters that make anime fans ecstatic.

It has to be said that Kohei Imamura truly lives up to his reputation as a veteran anime fan; he brings out some incredibly high-quality content!

While decorating the room, he couldn't resist secretly pocketing a few posters, intending to hang them in his room and enjoy them later.

"Alright! It's done. Kohei, go return the tape!"

"I'll come too! I'll bring ice cream back!"

After placing the figures in a suitable spot and working on them for so long in the sweltering summer heat, Miyazawa Yu wiped the sweat from his brow and decided to get some ice cream to eat.

Of course, I should ask Iori to reimburse me for these expenses, since they are all reasonable costs incurred during the renovation process!

"Iori, Chisa stormed off in a rage just now, do you know what happened?"

On the other side, Kitahara Iori was wiping the tables in the shop when she heard this. Without even looking up, she made up a story: "It's probably because I'm the only one who received a housewarming gift from my senior."

"Ah~ still getting angry over something like this, you really are a child who never grows up."

Without a second thought, Toshio Kotegawa shook his head and sighed as he wiped the cup.

Chisa is just like her mother; she has a bad temper, is stubborn, and doesn't know how to speak properly, so she ends up acting like a child.

"It's alright. Actually, I originally wanted to invite her to enjoy it with me."

"Ah! Iori!"

"!!!"

After Nanaka, who had been avoiding him for a long time, finally agreed to communicate, Kitahara Iori immediately turned around and gave a serious explanation.

"Nanaka-nee! Listen to what happened! It was actually Yuu and Senpai..."

"Okay, okay! It's alright, I don't mind~"

No! That's not the issue!

"It's really okay, I just asked my friend~"

Smiling at the flustered Iori, Nanaka Kotegawa kindly comforted him, "This is normal for a boy your age!"

"Huh? Has my reputation been ruined?"

Stunned on the spot, not only was she misunderstood by Nana-chan, but her bad reputation also seemed to have spread unintentionally!

Kitahara Iori, desperate to salvage her reputation but to no avail, could only lower her head in despair and loudly clarify, "In short! I didn't decorate the room just now!"

"Huh? Isn't it Iori?"

"That's right! Yu was just joking!"

"Ah, is that so?"

Nanaka Kotegawa tapped her cheek, half believing and half doubting.

Seeing that things were looking promising, Kitahara Iori nodded frantically, assuring everyone, "That's right! But it's definitely back to a normal room now..."

"Manager, thank you for the tape."

"Thank you for your hard work, manager! Have some ice cream!"

"Arigato, are the rooms ready?"

That's Kohei's voice!

Turning around abruptly, Iori saw Kohei and Yu's figures disappearing at the top of the stairs and sensed something amiss.

Figurines of cute girls, lolis, elementary school students, and magical girls, as well as posters of various anime characters with a younger male lead/older female lead vibe!

Sensing something was wrong, Kitahara Iori didn't rush to bring Nanaka-nee to see the room this time. Instead, she cautiously came up first to scout the way.

Just as expected! His room wasn't changed back to normal at all! It was just changed from a weird style to a two-dimensional weird style!

"Oh! How is it, Iori? The comfortable room I arranged..."

rustling --

Ignoring Imamura Kohei completely, Kitahara Iori, his face dark, strode quickly to the wall, grabbed a corner of the poster, and ripped it into three pieces.

"How did you even get here?!"

"Waaaaah! What are you doing! How dare you attack my proud starter kit for living alone!"

When his wife was torn apart, Kohei Imamura was suddenly struck by a mental blow, his pupils contracted instantly, and he knelt on the ground in despair, wailing.

Then, driven by his hatred for avenging his wife, he suddenly attacked.

He leaped up and pinned Kitahara Iori to the ground, revealing his sharp fangs as if he wanted to bite off her neck!

"Shut up! Kohei! Who told you to treat my room like your own and mess around like that! I'll kill you, you hear me?!"

Not at all shameful, Kohei felt wronged, but so did Kitahara Iori!

If he hadn't been smart enough to come up and take a look beforehand, if Nana-chan had seen this room, he probably wouldn't have been able to clear his name of being a pervert, and he might even have been labeled as a "two-dimensional" person!

If such a stigma gets out, he might as well go back to his hometown to inherit the family property and live a life of seclusion in a hotel deep in the mountains!

Chapter 23: A Room Filled with Masculine Energy!

"So, Iori, do you like your new room? Isn't it perfect this time?"

"It's absolutely perfect to let freshmen create a living environment that suits them!"

"Oh, right! Remember to get reimbursed for the ice cream."

With an ice cream in hand, Miyazawa Yu put down the poster and returned to Iori's room.

Judging from Iori's gritted teeth and gleeful expression, he must be so happy he's speechless!

"Hoo-hoo-look what you've done!"

After making such a mess of her room, Miyazawa Yu still had the nerve to ask him to reimburse her for the ice cream.

Kitahara Iori wished she could lock this bastard in the refrigerator and let him feel just how cold her heart really was!

"Ugh, it seems you're not entirely satisfied, but it's already done exactly as you requested. It's a room perfect for a freshman."

"Do you think everyone is like this shut-in?!"

He slapped the Sailor Moon statue behind him twice. How could a typical college student's room possibly have something like that!

Is that scoundrel Yu deliberately trying to go against me?

"Damn it! Someone kindly decorated your room for you, and you tore up my beloved poster replica... I curse your ancestors for eighteen generations!"

"It's just a copy! My descendants are really suffering!"

"So what kind of room do you want? Tell me yourself!"

After failing once or twice, Miyazawa Yu gradually lost patience, and her tone became somewhat impatient.

"It's the complete opposite of that feeling! Is it hard to understand?"

"Hiss... Are you sure you want the exact opposite of this?"

Both were stunned for a moment. Upon hearing Iori's words, Miyazawa Yu and Jujiro immediately exchanged glances, both seeing surprise in each other's eyes.

No wonder Iori kept hiding his true intentions and refused to speak frankly. He ruthlessly rejected two perfect room design plans. It turns out he was wrong about the very fundamental direction!

I never expected him to have this kind of interest!

However, Japan is an open and tolerant society. If Pab can accept baseball boxing, then it can naturally accept Iori's strange hobby!

"What? Is that so? You should have said so earlier!"

Do I have to tell you before you understand?

"Um...I'm sorry, Iori!"

After a moment's hesitation, Miyazawa Yu stepped forward and patted Iori on the shoulder, realizing that it was indeed his fault for not discovering Iori's hobby sooner.

Why are you apologizing?

"No problem! I understand completely. I'll build the room according to your requirements right away!"

"No need for that, all of you go out!"

Completely losing faith in these bastards, and upon hearing that they were going to harm her again, Kitahara Iori didn't hesitate to issue an order to leave with a dark face.

"What! I don't agree!"

Quickly recovering from the devastation of losing his wife, Kohei Imamura grabbed Iori by the collar and yelled at her.

"The chance to drink with the high school girl who admires my older brother is right in front of me! How could I possibly miss this opportunity and obediently go back?!"

What kind of bait lured this guy here?!

Cold sweat dripped down Kitahara Iori's forehead; she realized Kohei had been deceived.

This is Japan! Drinking alcohol is strictly prohibited for minors! And how could a female high school student possibly be at a university party!

However, you can never wake someone who is pretending to be asleep. It's such a simple truth that he can feign ignorance; Kohei seems to be enjoying it. Since that's the case…

"It's settled! I'll be in charge this time! You all do as I say!"

"No problem, use your imagination! Iori!"

Kitahara Iori glanced at Miyazawa Yu's hand on her shoulder. Although it sounded like there was nothing wrong with it, she felt that there was something more to what the other person was saying.

And he actually detected a hint of pity in Yu's tone! That bastard must be thinking something terrible!!!

"Hey! Iori! Can we do it again? I need to talk to you about something."

"Huh? Ah... um... no way? Here we go again..."

When Kitahara Iori heard Kotegawa Toshio call her a second time, her expression immediately turned sour, and her movements became limp, clearly showing her reluctance.

"Go, Iori!"

"Give us another chance! We'll definitely make the room exactly as you requested!"

"Sigh—I'm still worried, but there's no other way!"

She ran out the door with her head down, and in those few short steps, Miyazawa Yu could actually sense the sadness of parting and tears in Iori's steps.

It seems he really doesn't trust his people.

But no problem! He felt he had completely grasped Iori's hobbies, and this was Miyazawa Yu's chance to redeem himself!

"Everyone, get moving! Even though these things are hard to find, we'll borrow them to get Iori a perfect room!"

"Understood! I know who might have this kind of thing! Leave it to me!"

"I'm going to find someone to get the DVD and figurine!"

Everyone's out in force! Miyazawa Yu, as the leader, took the lead and paid for his own trip to the anime district to shop.

Wearing glasses and a mask, he suppressed his shame and bought a bunch of pretty boy body pillows and matching sheets and duvet covers, determined to make Iori feel warm at all times!

On the other hand, Kohei Imamura is equally impressive; as mentioned earlier, Japan is an open country.

After asking around in the community, this guy quickly borrowed some BL figurines and game discs that he was about to throw away, which served as Iori's spiritual sustenance.

Finally, there were Ryujiro Kotobuki and Shinji Tokita, who had somehow acquired a huge collection of posters of handsome men and were plastering them on the wall.

As for the anime posters from earlier, Miyazawa Yu accepted them all and sent them to his room.

"Phew—this is perfect! It's just perfect!"

"Yeah, I didn't expect Iori to have this kind of hobby, but how could that possibly stump us!"

"Yes, if you're talking about the exact opposite of me, that's definitely it! There's no mistake in what you mean!"

It took a full half hour. Although Miyazawa Yu was panting heavily, he felt very satisfied. He couldn't help but nod when he thought of Iori's surprised smile later.

That's right! This is the true Pab Department: when one is in trouble, all lend a hand; right or wrong is irrelevant, only friendship matters!

It feels like the bond between everyone has deepened even more!
