Shiro's inner thoughts screamed in protest. Was this how society worked now?! Did he really look like a passive protagonist?!
"Uh, Azusa-nee, isn't it a bit weird for you to be here so late…?"
Though Azusa looked exactly like his type, right now, all he wanted was to finish unpacking and go to sleep.
"Eh? I didn't tell you? My place is right next door! We're neighbors. Oh, right, here's a housewarming gift!"
Azusa pulled out a pack of beer she had bought earlier, reluctantly handing it over.
Shiro silently took the beer. Why—why was the housewarming gift beer?! And that look in her eyes, she clearly wanted to drink it herself!
Unable to stand her expectant gaze any longer, Shiro mumbled, "Uh... wanna have a drink?"
"Yes! Ahh, Shiro, you really understand me~!"
Azusa's eyes lit up as she immediately snatched the beer back and started drinking!
Shiro was once again shocked by her nerves of steel. Did people really drink at a stranger's house after just meeting them?!
"By the way, Shiro~"
"Yes?!"
For some reason, Shiro felt like a helpless rabbit. But he had experienced many great pairs of oppai before; he was a wolf, not a rabbit!
"Are you close with Nanaka?"
"Nanaka-nee? We hadn't seen each other for ten years until today. If I hadn't been dragged into her diving shop by accident, I wouldn't have even known she was here."
(Grand Blue world setting—university starts at 20! So drinking oolong tea is no problem!)
"Oh~ I see."
Azusa smirked. "So, Shiro, you're a new student at Izu University?"
…Was he that easy to read?!
Shiro recalled his earlier self-introduction disaster and hesitated.
"Is there a chance I study at Izu's neighboring university instead?"
"Pfft—hahaha!!!"
Azusa burst out laughing. "So that's how it is~ Turns out, Shiro, you're my junior from Oumi Women's University~!"
Shiro's face stiffened. Why was the nearby school a women's university?!
Wait…
Women's university… Girls…
This wasn't a disaster, it was an opportunity!
"It's not okay~ Shiro-chan, your gaze is making me feel a bit uneasy," Azusa teased.
Cough cough. "Azusa-nee, you're overthinking it. I just thought of something happy. Here, Azusa-nee, don't just drink, have some peanuts," Shiro said, trying to change the subject.
"Shouldn't it be sashimi instead?"
"Look around, do you see anything like that in this place?"
"Then peanuts will do."
"Got it!"
Shiro eagerly served her, quickly realizing from their short interaction that he had no chance with this woman. He needed to find a different target!
"By the way, Shiro-chan…"
"Azusa-nee… can you change that nickname? It sounds like you're calling a puppy…"
"Shi-chan?"
"How about just using my last name?"
"No, that doesn't feel close enough. Shiro-chan it is. Do you have any clubs you want to join?"
"Clubs…"
Shiro's body trembled as he recalled the terror of being dominated by two beast-like senpais that afternoon.
His whole demeanor turned dull and lifeless.
"Eh? Don't die on me again, Shiro-chan!"
"I'm fine… I just feel like my life is shrouded in darkness. By the way, Azusa-nee, does Izu University allow students to leave clubs?"
"Leave a club? You haven't even joined one yet… Wait! You went to Grand Blue this afternoon, and they were there at the same time…"
With a big smile, Azusa hooked her arm around Shiro's. "Shiro-chan, did you join Peek a Boo?"
"Azusa-nee, you know that club?"
"Well, I'm a member too."
Azusa casually popped a peanut into her mouth, looking completely unbothered.
"Eh?! ⊙﹏⊙! I thought that club was only for Izu University students…"
"Peek a Boo is a joint club, so students from different schools can join."
Azusa explained, realizing that this kid clearly had no idea what kind of club he had just walked into. But that was understandable; after all, their club hadn't gotten any new members in a long time. Not even a single sophomore. The upperclassmen must have tricked him into joining first.
Shiro's thoughts began to expand—wait, he had only seen the musclehead senpais so far. He hadn't met any of the other members yet.
There might be someone who fits his preferences!
At that moment, Shiro's hope was reignited!
"Your eyes are looking a bit pervy, Shiro-chan."
"Nonsense! I'm squinting; you can't even see my eyes!"
"…Then your whole face is distorting into a pervy expression."
"You're so nosy, Senpai! I'm totally a carnivore type!"
Shiro growled in frustration. This woman always interrupted him whenever he fantasized about a bright future!
"Toki and Bukki are my bodyguards. If I'm not mistaken, you met them this afternoon, right?"
"…One with black hair, one with blond hair, both built like gorillas?"
"Mhm."
(;'A`)
Shiro instantly opened a bottle of alcohol, dropped to one knee, and presented it to Azusa.
"Azusa-nee, please accept this!"
"Pffft—HAHAHAHA! You're way too funny!"
----------------
"Ugh… my head hurts. My stomach feels awful. ╯﹏╰"
Shiro dragged his exhausted body toward Izu University, looking as if he had been drained by a mischievous succubus.
Yet, despite his miserable state, he somehow radiated a vulnerable charm, attracting an endless stream of girls asking for his contact information along the way.
As a professional womanizer, Shiro exchanged contacts with every single one of them, refusing no one!
"Ugh, I'm really not in the mood for this. ╯^╰ And it's all because of that damn woman! Why did she have to start drinking at night?! I didn't even get to clean my place properly!"
Last night, as the two drank more and more, Azusa suddenly declared she would help him clean his room. Touched by her kindness, Shiro even ran out to buy a bunch of alcohol to properly reward his enthusiastic senpai.
And then… this morning, he woke up to find himself wearing nothing but his underwear, his room covered in AV posters, muscle-bound men's posters, and an absolute mess!
And the worst part? The culprit was still sleeping, wrapped in his clothes!
She didn't even cover her stomach! Unforgivable!
If not for her two gorilla bodyguards, Shiro would have definitely made her experience what it felt like to be completely filled!
