The Azure Sea is not a warrior with ripped clothes.

To his utter surprise, a celebration banquet was to be held, and Miyazawa Yu suddenly felt that the clothes he was wearing were utterly tasteless.

After all, given how the seniors play, it's questionable whether a mere jacket can even last past the halfway point; they might even have to throw away their underwear.

If you passed out drunk at school without wearing underwear, you'd probably be singing "Tears Behind Bars" the next day!

"Huh? Of course! Yesterday was a private celebration party for you and Iori. All the new recruits in the Pab department will be there!"

"That's right! Yu needs to show the same spirit as last night and not embarrass our Izu branch!"

"The diving department is actually going to have a drinking contest to see who's the best? Don't you guys feel ashamed...?"

With his eyes crinkling into crescent moons, Miyazawa Yu desperately wanted to find an excuse to run away, but with his seniors watching him, he knew he couldn't hide forever and would eventually be caught at the party.

"System! Is there any way I can at least keep my underwear?"

[Some hosts exist! Yes! There are as many as nine such methods!]

"Really? Then hurry up and bring it up!"

To everyone's surprise, Miyazawa Yu thought that losing underwear in the Pab Club was an inevitable rule and a strange phenomenon, but the system actually had the ability to break this shameful curse!

At his urging, the latter quickly provided the optimal solution: [Reaction time enhancement and hand-eye coordination]

"???"

Before Miyazawa Yu could ask any questions, without any warning, he suddenly felt the world before him slow down, and his hand movements became noticeably faster.

"Hey! Yu, hurry up and help tidy up the tent, we're going to be late!"

"Senior Shou has arrived!"

While still adjusting to her newfound abilities, Yu Miyazawa suddenly heard Ryujiro Kotobuki calling her, so she immediately rushed over to help tidy up the tent they had set up.

To his surprise, he realized that he would have had to spend a lot of time tying the knot himself, or even bite it with his teeth, when faced with a knot that his senior had tied into a tight knot.

But now, in just five or six seconds, the tight knot that the muscular man had been binding with has quickly vanished without a trace.

The speed was so fast that Nanaka Kotegawa, who was passing by, covered her mouth in astonishment and even squatted down to observe carefully how the ten flying fingers coordinated so perfectly.

If this were used on a person, they would feel incredibly good!

"Wow! That's amazing! With your hand speed, you could definitely make a fortune cheating at a casino!"

When Shinji Tokita saw that Nanaka had gone to get the tape and hadn't returned for a while, he came over to take a look and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"It's alright~ It's nothing really... Wait a minute, what did you just say, senior?"

Miyazawa Yu didn't care about being watched; she was still immersed in her own world, thinking about how to avoid losing her underwear that night.

Until a keyword appeared, it was like a flash of inspiration in his brain, and he instantly had an immature idea!

"What did you say? You can make a lot of money?"

"No! It's the previous sentence!"

"The previous sentence? That was about cheating at a casino."

That's right! It's cheating!

A glint of light flashed in his eyes, and Miyazawa Yu finally understood the system's purpose in giving him this skill—

Since baseball and parties are unavoidable, let's just focus on winning and losing to completely eliminate the possibility of being stripped naked!

"Arigato-senpai! You've been a great help! Alright! Let's go to the welcome party together!"

Having abandoned his previous attitude of fighting to the death, Miyazawa Yu now felt emboldened and revealed his ugly true colors.

With his skillful hands, he quickly took over all the work that Iori and Kohei had been dragging their feet on and refusing to cooperate with.

With 300% work efficiency, he quickly finished all the logistical work amidst the quiet grumbling of the other two.

"Very good! Very energetic! Iori, you should learn from Yu!"

"Since everyone's so eager, let's drink to our hearts' content today!"

Surprisingly, Yu Miyazawa was quite interested in the party. Ryujiro Kotobuki nodded in satisfaction.

He casually criticized Iori for slacking off, and then led this year's new students to a secluded shady spot on campus.

"Hey! Ryujiro's late! Have you recruited any new people?"

"Of course! And they're all amazing newcomers! They'll definitely surprise you!"

Responding cheerfully to the Pab Club members from other schools, Kotobuki Ryujiro took several stickers from the table and pressed them onto the wrists of Imamura Kohei and Kotegawa Chisa.

"Huh? Chisa? When did you arrive, and what is this?"

He curiously approached, looking at the sticker on Chisa's wrist with a puzzled expression.

Could this be a mark made by the various club branches to prevent them from losing new members?

"You asked about this? This is a patch test; it can be used to test for alcohol intolerance!"

While explaining, Juryujiro gave Kohei a thumbs-up and said, "Very good! You go to table A! Can Chisa go to table B?"

"I do not mind……"

"Wait a minute! What about Yu and me?"

Raising her hand to ask a question, Kitahara Iori had a bad feeling, while Miyazawa Yu was more direct, saying, "Then I want to go to table C!"

"Damn it! Everyone witnessed how much you and Iori could drink last night, so get to table A!"

The two people who wanted to run away were simultaneously grabbed by the shoulders by the kind-smiling Shinji Tokita.

Looking at the table in front of her, which was piled high with liquor containing over 20% alcohol, Kitahara Iori's eyelids twitched, and then she let out a desperate wail: "No!!!"

Chapter 14: Experience the Hat Trick!

"Write about finishing the wine glass!"

"Read it as 'Cheers!'"

"Woohoo~~"

The atmosphere at Pab's parties is never one to be faked. As soon as someone raises their glass, it means the battle has begun. There are no other ways to leave except by drinking your opponent under the table or by passing out yourself!

"Dun dun dun!"

After finishing their own mugs of draft beer, the two senior students approached the seemingly reserved newcomer in unison: "Iori, a real man should drink, right?"

"Hey there, buddy over here! What would you like to drink? I'll pour you some!"

"Oh! Then... please give me a cup of oolong tea! Just to soothe my throat, of course!"

Terrified by the gigantic Juryujiro, Kohei Imamura didn't dare to ask if he could refuse to drink, so he could only point to the drinks on table C and try to slip by.

Surprisingly, instead of getting angry, Juryujiro smiled approvingly and called out to the back, "Yes! Yu, give Kohei a cup of oolong tea!"

"Okay! Got it! Oolong tea, right!"

Upon receiving the order, Miyazawa Yuchika smiled gently before disappearing into the broad backs of his seniors.

Seeing that he left towards table C, Kohei Imamura finally breathed a sigh of relief.

When he first started drinking, he thought he had joined some kind of alcoholic club, but now it seems that the Pab Club is actually quite humane!

"Yu, what are you doing?"

On the other side, at table C, Chisa Kotegawa, annoyed by her seniors' constant shirtless kung fu games, came here to find some peace and quiet.

As it turned out, they saw Miyazawa Yu grinning like an old witch, mixing something in his hands.

"Pab Department's special oolong tea! I learned how to make it yesterday from my seniors."

Forcibly suppressing his impolite smile, Miyazawa Yu poured vodka and whiskey into the glass in a 9:1 ratio and mixed them thoroughly.

To reduce the alcohol taste, he also added a few ice cubes to prevent the alcohol from evaporating. Soon, a cup of special oolong tea with an alcohol content of over 50% was ready!

"Sigh~ Is this really a good idea?"

"It's okay, he'll have plenty to drink after he joins the Pab club anyway. Giving him a lesson now is for his own good!"

Faced with Chisa, who still held onto a sense of justice, Miyazawa Yu rolled his eyes and reluctantly offered a reasonably plausible explanation.

He would never admit that he did this to escalate the conflict and fast-forward the plot to the baseball boxing stage, so he could avoid drinking!

"Kouhei~ Your oolong tea is here! I even added ice for you, drink it while it's cold!"

"Ah! Arigatoyo! Oolong tea, I'm really looking forward to it... tug tug tug."

Taking the oolong tea handed to him, Kohei Imamura drank it down without hesitation, trying to prove that he wasn't disrespecting his senior.

However, the oolong tea may not have been chilled for long enough, as the temperature was not low enough.

The moment the liquor burned as it passed through his esophagus, Kohei Imamura's eyes widened and his breath caught in his throat.

A perfectly normal college student actually started cosplaying a fountain on the spot, spraying a cloud of alcohol mist into the sky.

What a waste!

"That's right, Kohei! Wasting food is wrong!"

"Cough cough! How dare you... So you all know this is wine!"

Wiping the remaining wine from the corner of his mouth, Kohei Imamura coughed until tears streamed down his face, but even so, he still struggled to find the culprit in his field of vision!

"What are you talking about? This is oolong tea! Oolong tea! You can tell by the color, right?"

"As long as the colors match, is that enough?"

"Of course, it's not just about colors!"

Pulling out a lighter and lighting the oolong tea, Shou Ryujiro, without any attempt to deceive his junior, smiled and explained, "Actually, you can light it too!"

"If it can be lit, it means it's mostly alcohol! This is completely different from the oolong tea I ordered!"

He slammed his fist on the table, speechless with exasperation.

What's wrong with this club? How can they so casually put alcohol, which can be used for disinfection, on the table?

"Alright! Kohei, put the oolong tea aside and have some water first."

"That's all we can do, Ariga..."

Looking at the bottled water with ice cubes handed to him, Kohei Imamura was only halfway through writing his thank-you card.

He snatched the lighter from Ryujiro and lit it on the cup. A blue flame instantly rose up, trembling in the breeze.

"Why can it be lit?"

"Probably because it's flammable?"

"The color is like water, don't mind it~"

"Do you guys only look at the color when you drink beverages?! And you, Iori! You're trying to frame me too, aren't you?!"

He smashed the glass full of vodka to the ground, and with a ferocious expression, grabbed Kitahara Iori by the collar, his smile twisted in a way that was terrifying.

"I didn't intend to, but... I feel like if I don't get someone drunk and kicked out, I probably won't be able to get away today, right?"

"...So why do I have to sacrifice myself?!"

The reason was irrefutable. As Kohei Imamura watched as Ryujiro Juro and Shinji Tokita returned to the crowd and drank freely, it was almost inevitable that he would be drunk.

Given this, it would be far more effective for the three newcomers to sabotage each other than to compete in drinking with seasoned veterans.

"Is that so? It really shouldn't have been so unfair to make you sacrifice yourself... Yu!"

"I understand... Kohei, I also bear some responsibility for you getting involved this time. In that case, I will sacrifice myself for you!"

With a wry smile, Miyazawa Yu emerged from the crowd, letting out a soft sigh as if he no longer intended to hide, and a sense of tragic grandeur suddenly appeared on his body.

Seeing him like this, Kohei, who had originally wanted to settle scores with this bastard, was momentarily at a loss and could only helplessly say, "Alright! I forgive you two! So what should we do?"

"I'll drink alcohol, Kohei, you can have oolong tea. Please allow me to sacrifice myself for your freedom!"

"Don't be so sentimental, you jerk! I know, we'll keep your underwear for you."

"Really? You're so kind to me who hurt you. Kohei, you're such a good person!"

Shaking his head, he handed the bottled oolong tea to the other person. Miyazawa Yu bit his lip and took the vodka that Iori handed him, drinking it all in one gulp. He was so spicy that he stuck out his tongue.

"Hey! Don't push yourself too hard..."

Feeling sorry for him, Kohei Imamura unscrewed the oolong tea and brought it to his lips, completely unaware that the drink was actually a second-hand product that had been opened before.

"Thump thump thump, gulp... cough ha!"
