The blue sea, my youth

When Takaharu heard that Senior Azusa said no, he did not mention the matter of deepening his memory. However, he saw that Mingmei did not come back with Senior Azusa, so he sent a message to ask, and learned that Mingmei had just met her roommate, chatted with her roommate for a while, and was on her way.

After Takaharu put away his phone, he saw that because there were no seats, Senior Azusa sat directly on the shoulders of Senior Tokita and Senior Shou to drink.

The two seniors were used to this posture and did not care, "But I'm glad you're okay." "And it's time for the gathering."

"Huh?" "Gathering?" "What do you mean?"

Just when the three were curious, the door of the activity room was pushed open, and a group of muscular men walked in. The short sleeves on their bodies told Takaharu Furuichi and the other two that they were from the karate club, the rugby club, etc.

"This is the school's strongest fighters here..." Takaharu murmured unconsciously.

"Yo." "We came to play as promised." After entering, the leading few greeted the seniors happily.

"Aa ... Seniors Tokita and Shou saw that the group was getting along well, and said, "We've become close friends." "It's a good thing to have more friends."

Since Senior Tokita was the organizer, he took the lead and said, "Then let's start drinking from the wash basin." "The loser has to perform a trick (a joke to make people laugh)"

"Oh!!" "We'll definitely win this year!"

"Wash basin?!" "Is that a container for drinking?!" "What the hell is a first use?!" It was the first time for Takaharu and the other two to attend such a drinking party.

...Drinking...

'Clang' a can of Coke fell from the vending machine, and Iori reached out and took it out and handed it to Takaharu.

Takaharu: "He drinks more than usual..."

Kohei: "If we didn't have to participate in the men's competition, we would have drunk to death with them. It's scary to think about it."

Iori: "In that case, I should thank the men's competition for saving my life."

Kohei: "Are you thanking Kotegawa for proposing the exchange?"

Iori: "That's not the case."

Takaharu: "Who's that over there?" Takaharu saw that there seemed to be someone in the corridor, took two steps forward, and recognized that it was Akemi and Mana who had not arrived at the cocktail party.

However, because Akemi had her back to the three people, Iori and Kohei only recognized Mana.

Kohei: "What...what's going on?"

Iori: "I'm planning to invite you to drink again."

Kohei: "No way, isn't there someone else beside her?"

At this time, Aina also saw the three people, stood up shakily, and walked towards Kohei. Mingmei also stood up. After standing up, Mingmei also saw Takaharu over there, walked over, and apologized a little embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I haven't been to the party. I saw Aina on the way here just now. I found that she was a little sad, so I stayed with her for a while."

Takaharu: "It's okay, why is she so sad? Did you find out just now?"

Amei: "Aina refused to say anything, she kept drinking, and she said that the university life she imagined was not like this."

Takaharu: "Then let's go and listen together. Although they are usually unreliable, they are very reliable at critical moments, just like Mihashi Takashi. But they are not as thick-skinned as Mihashi."

Amei: "Yes, at that time you actually dressed up as women and entered the girls' school to fight off the gangsters who harassed female classmates."

Takaharu was a little embarrassed to hear about the women's clothing. This was a black history left behind by Mihashi, but the good thing was that he had a girlfriend. Seeing Aina pressing Kohei against the wall, Takaharu's eyes lit up, "Let's get closer and listen."

The two of them got closer and heard Aina saying, "Are you asking me why I chose you? Of course it's because you're handsome!"

Then Aina continued, "Aren't there a lot of handsome guys in those TBs? Finding a handsome boyfriend will make you happy, right? I want the rosy college life in the books."

Amei: "So that's why you keep talking about college life."

Aina didn't care if Mingmei was nearby or not, and couldn't listen to what she had said, "But--tell me, why do I keep failing? I tried hard, right? Really hard, right?"

IIori: "Yeah, oh."

Kohei: "I really worked hard, but I worked in the wrong direction."

Aina: "I taught myself how to put on makeup, and I wore clothes I don't usually wear... I tried my best to cooperate with everyone! What's going on! They urged me to drink and punished me to drink! These things are not mentioned in movies and TV series!"

Iori: "Indeed." Kohei: "That's right." Takaharu: "Who would say these things?"

Aina knelt on the ground and complained unwillingly: "But why do people always treat me like a fool——"

Takaharu: "Everyone?" Iori: "Those people in TB." Akemi: "Aina..."

Iori Iori began to feel hurt: "It's true that she's dressed like that." Kouhei followed up with: "It's normal to be a joke if she's too flashy." Akemi added: "It's better without makeup."

Aina didn't want to believe it and retorted loudly: "Nonsense! Everyone said I was cute at the beginning!"

Kouhei said even louder: "No way! They were obviously laughing at you!?"

Aina was instantly petrified, and Akemi continued: "You are completely unrecognizable to people other than me who are familiar with you, how can you be cute!"

Takaharu rubbed his head, "Akemi, you still haven't learned to speak according to the occasion..."

Iori: "Kouhei You let it slip..."

Kohei walked forward slowly, "Um, did it hurt you?"

"I understand what you said. At first, I thought it was okay to be treated as a joke, and I just got along well..." Aina's hand slowly held, "But those people...at the cocktail party after the beauty pageant...said to me, 'We have laughed enough, you can go back'. I don't want to tell Mingmei about this, for fear that she will provoke those people for me."

Iori and Kohei were stunned, Mingmei was furious, if Takaharu hadn't stopped her, she would have gone to the tennis club to seek an explanation, and said indignantly: "Dare to bully Aina , let me teach them a lesson."

Takaharu: "Wait a minute, Aina didn't tell you because she was afraid of this."

Aina continued: "I really shouldn't force myself to change... In the end, no matter what I do, I will be laughed at, and those guys will always laugh at me..."

Kohei: "Makeup corpse beast, you..."

Iori: "What are you talking about? There is no one in this world who can only laugh at others without being laughed at."

Takaharu: "People who laugh at others for fun are the biggest fun and cowards."

Aina: "But..." Iori interrupted her before she finished her words.

Iori: "I'll show you something fun!"

The three of them looked at each other and understood each other's thoughts.

Takaharu went back and discussed with the seniors how to start, and also introduced Mingmei to Chisa and Azusa. After all, they had never seen Mingmei before because of the beauty pageant and didn't know who the new member of the club was.

…………Preparing…………

It was still the stage of the previous beauty pageant, but the banner was changed.

On the stage, the karate club members were showing off their muscles to their heart's content...

Almost all the male audiences were shouting, "Great! Very strong!" "Muscles are clearly visible!"

Senior Tokita said to the people around him, "Do you confuse the men's competition with the bodybuilding competition every year?"

"How dare you say that to us?" "Every year it's the same as a stripping competition."

Senior Shou laughed, "Just rest assured this year."

'Senior Azusa', who was also sitting in the front row, did not respond.

The host on the stage was introducing the next president of the tennis club, Kudo.

The fans in the audience began to cheer, while the seniors Tokita and others were still talking about what happened just now.

"What are you planning this time?"

"Our lovely junior seems to have prepared a good idea."

"It shouldn't be a good thing."

"Enjoy it."

After the host on the stage introduced Kudo, he seemed to be stopped by someone in the headset and went backstage before introducing the next person.

After a while, another person in a suit walked onto the stage and continued to introduce: "Next, please welcome the next person!"

Kohei walked forward while thinking that this was a pumpkin field.

Host: "Please introduce yourself."

Kohei: "I am Kohei Imamura from the diving club, please take care of me."

Although Kudo was a little worried that Kohei's appearance would outshine his, he felt relieved when he heard that he was from the diving club.

Unfortunately, he felt relieved too early. Kohei suddenly walked to the edge of the stage, bent down and stretched out his hand to "Senior Azusa", and asked: "Senior Hamaoka Azusa, don't worry about TB President Kudo, please date me!!"

Offstage, several people who thought this was the diving club's new idea said: "They came up with this farce?" "How should I answer?"

On the stage, although President Kudo didn't want to respond, he had to walk forward because he was mentioned. The same posture but with the hand stretched outThe hands are just different.

The host gloated: "President Kudo has also confessed, who will you choose?!"

'Senior Sister Azusa' hesitated for a moment, then reached out and held President Kudo's hand.

After being chosen, President Kudo became excited, and regardless of the shouts of the fans in the audience, he mocked Kohei: "I'm sorry that things turned out like this, but everyone's level is different, you should be able to find someone who suits you."

But Kohei laughed: "The one who suits me...ah"

Seeing Kohei laughing, Kudo was a little confused, and 'Senior Sister Azusa' in the audience couldn't help laughing, causing Kudo to turn his head and look.

I saw 'Senior Sister Azusa' took off the wig on her head, and laughed at Kudo loudly with the host and Kohei. The host handed the microphone to Iori, who held the microphone and said loudly: "I'm sorry!! I'm a man!!"

Kudo's facial expression collapsed uncontrollably.

Iori: "I never thought that I would be a match for the incomparable TB president."

Kohei: "Congratulations, Kitahara! Your female appearance has the same charm as this person!!"

Iori: "That's it, I'm Kitahara Iori, a first-year student of the diving club, and I'm here to participate in the men's competition!! My specialty is my beauty that makes these two handsome men want to date me!"

Offstage, Tokita: "Hahaha!" Kotobuki: "They're really good!"

Kudo can't believe it: "Hey! Wait!"

Iori and Kohei are still twisting on the stage, Iori: "I hate it - what should I do - the president confessed to me -"

Kohei said even more coquettishly: "Although I'm unwilling, I'll give up, you two are a match made in heaven."

Iori and Kohei turned to look at the audience, and Iori said loudly: "After all, we are not only of similar level, but also of the same gender!! The president must always date me -"

The host took it back Iori said to Kudo with the microphone in his hand: "President Kudo, you change your mind so quickly. You hugged another man and cried in the morning, and confessed to another man in the evening. This is not okay!"

Kudo: "Who are you!"

The host also began to act coquettishly: "President, you hugged my legs and cried in the morning, don't you recognize me now? Oh, by the way, President Kudo cried to know my name in the morning. Since President Kudo has found a partner, I will tell you, I am the first freshman of the diving club, Takaharu Furuichi! Now I join the men's competition! My specialty is hosting! But I didn't expect to see that the person who was still entangled in the morning changed his heart in the afternoon..."

The crowd was excited, "Wait, who is that guy!" "What's wrong with Kudo?" "Did he play with our feelings before?" "I also saw Kudo hugging a man's legs and crying in the morning. I thought I recognized the wrong person!"

Kudo couldn't explain it clearly for a while, and didn't know which sentence to explain, but the trio had already walked in front of him

Iori: "By the way, President."

Kohei: "We've laughed enough..."

Takaharu: "You can leave now."

Kudo collapsed even more and left the stage without even caring about the game.

Iori noticed that the figure lingering near the exit was Aina, and gestured to her: "See? Very funny, isn't it?"

Then the three of them hugged each other's shoulders and jumped on the stage to celebrate, and the audience shouted: "Not bad!!" "Perform more!!"

Senior Azusa, who was sitting with Chisa and Akemi, also smiled and said: "You did a good job--"

However, Chisa was not so happy. She ignored what Senior Azusa said, but stood up and walked away.

Senior Azusa stopped Akemi who wanted to go find Chisa, and smiled at Chisa's back.

Mingmei was a little confused: "Aren't you going to look for Chisa?"

Azusa: "No, no, it's not us who are going to look for her, it's someone else."

Although she didn't understand who the other person Azusa was talking about was, Mingmei still sat down and smiled at Takaharu on the stage: "He's still the same as before."
