The blue sea, my youth

It was late, in the rented activity room...

"Listen to me," Senior Tokita, who was standing in the host seat, said with a serious expression, "You all know that 80% of the reason we came to Miyakojima is to experience the Ondori."

Senior Shou, who was standing next to Senior Tokita, was also serious: "But the store we booked was temporarily closed for some reason, so we had to give up."

After hearing this news, a shrill wail sounded immediately below, as if the end of the world had come. The seniors knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, and the whole scene was in chaos and unbearable to watch.

Seeing the seniors so sad, Aina looked at Kohei and Iori and asked, "Is Odori the infinite drinking unique to Miyako Island?"

Kohei breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that we have escaped from the world line of infinite drinking."

Iori also breathed a sigh of relief: "What a peaceful night in Miyako Island."

"Don't forget, the world line will converge," Takaharu, who was not reassured, thought about the usual style of the seniors, "I suggest you sneak out now and come back later."

"Don't worry, I see that most izakayas outside refuse to allow people related to PaB to enter." Iori waved his hand nonchalantly.

However, what Senior Tokita said next made Iori and Kohei feel like they were falling into an ice cave, "But since it's a rare opportunity to come to Miyako Island, let's entertain ourselves and imitate the Goto in our own way!"

Iori and Kohei stood up and fled when they heard this. Senior Azuma took out a can of sunscreen from somewhere and squeezed into the way of the two people's escape. Senior Glasses' glasses flashed a white light, and the whole person blocked the two people like a flash.

The two who wanted to escape were pinned to the ground by one of them. Senior Azuma: "Hey, hey," Senior Glasses: "Freshman, stop making trouble."

The two who were pinned down looked up at Senior Tokita, as if they saw a picture of hell. Senior Tokita announced like a devil: "Come on, let's get started!"

It is said that the potential before death is unlimited. Iori, who seems to have seen a revolving lantern, agrees with this. When Iori found that Takaharu was not there, he thought of a way, "I report! Takaharu ran away!"

"Really?!" Hearing that someone escaped, Senior Shou's expression became ferocious, but thinking that Iori just said Takaharu, Senior Shou's expression recovered, "Takaharu, it's okay."

Kohei: "He ran away." Iori: "He didn't attend the cocktail party here." Kohei: "Shouldn't we catch him back?" Iori: "We can help you find him together." The two did not give up and wanted to struggle. Whether Takaharu was brought back to drink together or escaped in Takaharu's name, they could accept it. How could they ignore it?

"He just went to help move the wine. Look, he's back now." Following Senior Shou's words, the two looked at the door and saw Takaharu pushing a small cart with four or five boxes on it.

The two saw Takaharu pushing the cart in and smiled contemptuously at them, and their minds went blank. Unable to accept the reality, the two began to think: 'Sometimes, Tian Daguan and Shou Guiren asked Iori Maru and Kohei Nosuke, who are famous for their wit - you fill this bottle but you can't use your hands. When your teammate Takaharu Jiro betrayed them, how would they answer Daguan's question? ’

Iori: “Then, my Lord…” Kohei: “Please ask Jiro Takaharu to chase the tiger out…”

Seeing the two holding a piece of clothing with a girl with animal ears and mumbling something, Senior Tokita: “Hey, you two.” Senior Kotobuki: “Why are your eyes suddenly blank?”

Kohei: “He’s just someone escaping from reality! He’s not as heartless as Takaharu.” Iori: “What do you mean by playing that in the PaB style?”

Senior Tokita: “Oh, don’t be impatient.” Senior Kotobuki: “I’ll start explaining now.” Senior Tokita: “This time we’re going to let everyone drink from the same bottle of wine.” Senior Kotobuki: “It’s a rare training camp.”

Iori : "It's like eating from the same pot, right?"

Tokita-senpai: "The problem is..." Kotobuki: "It's surprisingly difficult to find a wine that everyone likes."

Takaharu: "Everyone has different preferences for wine, such as type, fermentation method, brand, whether it has carbonation, and drinking method."

Kohei: "So it's difficult to make everyone like it."

Tokita-senpai: "But in this kind of occasion, if everyone drinks different wines, it will be lonely if we can't discuss wine together, right?" Kotobuki: "So we came up with a good idea."

The two seemed to have made up their minds and said a little painfully: "Why don't we be fair and let everyone drink super"It's better to drink strong wine!"

"Your judging criteria are too weird!" ×3

Even Takaharu couldn't accept it. He had seen strong wine when he was moving the wine. At that time, he thought it was just mixing the wine and drinking it. Even if he couldn't escape, he could still accept it.

Senior Tokita: "Then, we have to take turns to pour the wine we like into this jar." Senior Shou: "Just say a few words of opening remarks when the time comes."

Kohei was a little confused and a little surprised, and asked in a low voice: "Opening remarks?" Senior Azuma: "It is said that playing Yutong requires opening remarks." Senior Glasses: "Like paying tribute to the beautiful sea and islands."

Senior Tokita: "Then we go first." Senior Shou: "Just say a few serious words."

Senior Tokita: "We come from all over the world. We can gather at the same place at the same time like this." Senior Shou: "I am really happy to sit on the same boat and drink the same jar of wine." ”

Senior Tokita: “Everyone present here is a like-minded person and a companion.” Senior Kotobuki: “Even if we go our separate ways one day, the time we spent together will not disappear.”

Senior Tokita: “I hope you can regard today as a memory of your youth!” Senior Kotobuki: “Never forget this day!” The two raised the bottles in their hands high.

At this time, Iori and Kohei realized that the wine that the senior had been holding was 96° Water of Life. Looking at the look of Takaharu who had just taken the wine, it can be seen that he didn’t know that most of the wine he brought was this kind of wine.

Seeing that the seniors were still cheering over there, the two who couldn’t accept it complained at the same time: “Brain-dead!!” ×2

Kohei: “What memories of youth!!” Iori: “What memories, I won’t remember anything after the blackout!”

Senior with glasses: “I will never forget the days I spent with you!! "The senior who couldn't hold back his tears poured the water of life into the jar while crying.

Iori: "Then don't pour that stuff in!" Kouhei: "Do you really want to remember it? !"

Takaharu, who had already accepted the reality helplessly, stepped forward and held down the two people, "Forget it, let's make the seniors happy."

Feeling that Takaharu seemed to know something, Iori turned back and looked at Takaharu in confusion. Takaharu shook his head at him, "Let's talk about it when we get back. This party must end happily."

Senior Dong came up and said hesitantly: "I don't know what to say. I usually only know that I am studying the chemistry I like. I can't say anything nice at this time. So, at least I have to do what I can do at this time..."

Senior Dong took out a bottle of ethanol for disinfection from his pocket.

The trio saw that it was for disinfection, and they couldn't help but dissuade at the same time: "Please don't put it in! !"

Senior with glasses: "Hahahaha, I'm kidding."

Senior Dong: "Adding this kind of thing will only reduce the degree. ”

Kohei: “It’s actually higher than the alcohol used for disinfection.” Iori: “Is this really drinkable?” Takaharu: “As long as it’s not disinfected, it’s fine.”

Guessing that Takaharu wouldn’t help, Iori opened a single-player channel to chat with Kohei: ‘If you toast with this, you might die.’ Kohei: ‘In that case!’ Iori: ‘I’ll just add some water as if nothing happened…’ Kohei: ‘Lower the alcohol to a safe level.’

The two of them took out two bottles of water from the back and smiled sinisterly. Seeing the two of them like this, Takaharu sighed helplessly, “I’ll go up first, so Kohei can think about his opening remarks.”

After being reminded, Kohei remembered that he still had to say his opening remarks later, and he shook Takaharu’s hand with tears in his eyes and gratitude, “Great, we are indeed close friends! ”

Takaharu picked up a bottle of water of life and walked to the stage. He came to the side of the wine jar and sorted out his thoughts.

Takaharu began his opening remarks: "I am very happy to come to this club. I met Iori by chance. Through him, I met the store manager Kotegawa who helped me find the room I live in now. I also met seniors Tokita and Kotobuki. I joined the diving club and met many people.

I have gained a lot, from my first experience of diving in my life to now having a diving license and being able to dive in Miyakojima.

I have also changed a lot, from only being able to drink a little to now being able to drink a lot of alcohol, and even drinking oolong tea and water of life without changing my expression.

So I want to express my gratitude to the serious and responsible seniors and friends who have helped me a lot. Thank you everyone!"

After Takaharu finished speaking, everyone in the audience spontaneously applauded with smiles on their faces.

Tokita senior was actually much more relaxed because of Takaharu's joining the club. Although it is time-consuming work to guide newcomers to hold parties, this is exactly what the club can do.As a necessary condition for the inheritance, if Takaharu and his friends had not joined the club, there might be only Chisa as the new member of the freshman class. Judging from Chisa's poor expression, Chisa might be the last member of the diving club.

When he failed to recruit new members in his sophomore year, Senior Tokita once doubted whether the diving club would be disbanded in his hands and whether he would disappoint the expectations of his predecessors. Now he is relieved, even though Iori and Kohei joined the club by means except Takaharu at the beginning, but now he can wait for graduation and hand over the club to them with confidence.

After calming down, Senior Tokita said: "Come on, Iori Kohei, it's your turn."

Iori: "Okay!" Kohei: "I'll be right there."

When he came to the stage, Iori came to the wine jar and leaned over to see how much wine was in the jar, but the evaporated wine directly smoked his eyes.

"Ah, my eyes!" Iori, who was covering his eyes and retreating, accidentally elbowed the glasses senior next to him.

Seeing the senior who fell to the ground, Iori asked in a panic: "Are you okay?"

The senior with glasses waved his hand, "Ah, I'm fine. Don't take it to heart."

Kohei asked doubtfully: "Aren't you angry?"

Azuma took a pack of tissues and handed it to the senior with glasses, saying: "There are no children in PaB who would get angry because of this."

The two were very moved, and Iori said with relief: "Then I will go and make the opening remarks." Iori took out a bottle of water from behind and prepared to pour it into the wine jar.

As a result, the two furious seniors held down his head and wrists respectively. Senior Azuma: "Hey! Iori!" Senior with glasses: "You don't know what's best for you!"

Iori: "It's okay to be elbowed, but you're angry now, right?" Kohei: "You're angry about something weird, right?"

Seeing that they couldn't get away with it, Iori and Kohei took out a bottle of Awamori. Iori: "Then this one will do." Kohei: "Give us a break this time."

Looking at the 60° wine in their hands, the two seniors reluctantly agreed.

Kohei thought about Iori's suggestion to reintroduce himself and walked onto the stage with Iori.

Iori spoke first: "Thanks to joining this club, I found out that I always hated..."

Kohei: "Imamura Kohei!"

Iori: "...I turned out to be so attractive. I got in touch with him at the beginning..."

Kohei: "Anime and games!"

Iori: "...Now I think those are good too. From now on, I will work harder to be able to say..."

Kohei falsely said: "Kohei-nii, marry me♡"

Iori: "...I will work harder." Iori couldn't bear it anymore and knocked Kohei to the ground with the Awamori bottle in his hand.

Kohei: "What are you doing?!" Iori: "I was going to ask you something!!"

Tokita-senpai: "What a wonderful speech." Kotobuki-senpai: "I didn't expect them to talk about how they became close."

Except for Nanaka-san who was still clapping and Azusa-senpai who secretly gave Iori a thumbs up, the two of them were unanimously disliked by the girls even more.

Senior Tokita walked to the wine jar and continued to host: "Now let's start distributing the wine!"

"Oh..." ×n, the audience cheered violently.

After the wine was distributed, Takaharu and the other two looked at the wine in their hands, which was not spilled because of the tension of the water. Takaharu: "If I drink this, I will lose my memory." Iori: "You really don't need to pour it so full..."

Kohei: "The surface tension has reached its limit, at least we have to reduce the amount." Iori: "Otherwise, we will die." Takaharu: "For our lives!"

Kohei suddenly had an idea, "I have a rather crazy idea, now we can only try it out, let's pretend to be drunk and accidentally spill the wine!"

Iori and Takaharu looked at Kohei, who was so wise, in surprise. Iori: "Great! Let's use this trick!" Takaharu: "I didn't expect it, Kohei, this idea is not crazy!"

However, the three people's actions were resolved by the seniors without a sound. The three pretended for a long time, but when they saw the cup, there was no drop of spilled at all...
