Izakaya
Kamishiro stared blankly at Iori. "So, why are we at a group date again?"
That's right!
Today's event: a group date!
At first, Kamishiro didn't believe it—he even thought it might be some trap set by Kitahara.
Because… Kitahara inviting him to a group date?
That's just like a weasel paying respects to a hen!
It wasn't until he saw Yamamoto and the other two all dressed up that he finally accepted—it might really be a group date?
But… for what reason?!
He refused to believe that Kitahara would be kind-hearted enough to help Yamamoto and the others with their love lives.
"Hehehe… Why, you ask… Let's just call it an accident…"
Iori slumped over the table, looking dead inside as yesterday's events replayed in his head.
Yesterday, that idiot Nojima forgot the deadline for submitting his project and wanted to borrow Iori's.
That by itself wasn't too bad—it was just bros helping bros.
But who would've guessed…
That bastard Nojima went straight to Iori's house!
And the moment he opened the Grand Blue door, it was like he saw an angel ~
BAM!
Iori slumped over the table, banging his head. "That's how it went. I got interrogated for five hours yesterday!"
If there had been any other way, he wouldn't have organized this stupid group date.
Unfortunately, there wasn't.
With his life on the line, he had no choice but to get on his knees and beg Nanaka-san.
Thankfully, she agreed. Otherwise, he'd probably be floating in the ocean by now next to Grand Blue.
After hearing the whole story, Kamishiro twisted Iori's face with a terrifying look. "So you dragged my beloved Nanaka-nee san into a group date?!"
Did he not realize she was Kamishiro's chosen marriage candidate?!
"C-Calm down! If you don't want to go through with it, just tell those three…"
Iori quickly pointed to the side, where three beasts were chattering excitedly.
Nojima: "Man, thanks so much to Kitahara. I got to see the angel again."
Yamamoto: "This is the power of friendship!"
Fujiwara: "Bravo!"
Kamishiro: "..."
Looking at those three animals, Kamishiro decided to continue tormenting Kitahara.
There was no use trying to stop those three—amplified by lust, they were beyond Kamishiro's control with either violence or reason.
Clearly, the best option was to throw the real culprit into the sea!
At this moment—
The most "normal" person in the room was Kouhei, quietly sitting to the side in his short-sleeve hoodie.
Totally uninterested in the group date, he was only here because Kitahara dragged him out. If he had a choice, he'd rather be home watching anime.
After all, he was socially anxious!
What kind of socially anxious person joins a group date?!
"So… who are the girls?"
"No idea. Nanaka-san brought them…"
At that—
Kamishiro froze. Before Iori could even finish, he was glaring murderously!
Because he knew Nanaka nee-san didn't have that many friends. They'd probably already met most of them.
Which meant everyone coming would be familiar faces?
How the hell is this a group date then?!
He had zero intention of exposing Nanaka nee-san and Asuza nee-san to this pack of beasts!
But there was no stopping it now.
Because—
"Wow, you're all early~"
Slightly dressed up, Nanaka had arrived!
A beige sleeveless top paired with her gentle, warm smile—
Just like the friendly older sister from a boy's adolescent dreams.
No one could resist!
The moment she sat down three pairs of chopsticks pointed straight at her!
This was a tactic they came up with at their last group date!
If someone was interested in a girl present, they'd point their chopsticks at her.
It was a way to avoid conflicts between bros.
Clearly
All three beasts were aiming for Nanaka. Which completely defeated the point of the rule.
"Ahh! Isn't she my angel I saw before?!"
After a closer look, Yamamoto suddenly remembered. Wasn't this the same big sister he had seen when he got lost during a hangout at Kitahara's place?!
Recalling how Kitahara had fooled him before, Yamamoto grabbed Iori by the collar, demanding an explanation.
"How the hell is she yours?!"
Iori wasn't about to back down. Nanaka-nee was every young man's dream!
Ignoring Iori, Yamamoto and the others were already lost in their fantasies.
Yamamoto: "Oh no, I haven't even thought of a name for our child…"
Nojima: "Hey, don't go fantasizing about my wife."
Fujiwara: "She's my wife, actually."
"..."
Watching the three of them getting all dazed by beauty, Iori figured he should probably do something.
But…
It seemed like he didn't need to.
BANG!
A spiked club suddenly smashed down between the three perverts.
Kamishiro's demon-like voice echoed in their ears: "Let me give you a warning—if any of you dare to lay a hand on Nanaka-nee, I swear I'll kill you!"
That was his Nanaka-nee!
They were basically engaged since they were ten!
Gulp…
Seeing the spiked club right between their legs, Yamamoto and Fujiwara instinctively swallowed hard.
That was close…
Their little buddies were almost goners.
This bastard is serious!!!
Only Nojima still had a big goofy smile on his face, completely unfazed by the club's ominous aura.
He waved it off cheerfully. "It's fine, it's fine…"
His expression was calm—an expression only seen on people who had accepted their fate, like basking in the warm sun of spring.
Yamamoto and Fujiwara froze for a second, then realized something.
Right!
If it means getting close to a beauty like her, what's one measly life!
BANG BANG BANG!
Without a moment's hesitation, the three dropped to their knees and slid over to Iori.
Yamamoto: "Don't worry, I'll definitely make her happy!"
Fujiwara: "I won't ever let her cry!"
Nojima: "I'll be devoted to her and only her for the rest of my life!"
(?°?д°?)
Kamishiro: "You bastards! Nanaka-nee is mine—we've already met each other's parents!!!"
"HA?!" ×3
Hearing that, the expressions of the three perverts instantly twisted in fury, all turning their gazes toward Kamishiro.
"Oh? Kamishiro, you better be joking."
"My wife's parents aren't people you just 'meet' casually!"
"Go sink in the sea!"
"Heh!"
Seeing their ugly faces, Kamishiro scoffed coldly. Just three fools blinded by lust!
Normally, he'd let something like this slide.
But!
They dared to fantasize about Nanaka-nee?!
Unforgivable!
"We didn't just meet each other's parents, you know. We're childhood friends—your classic next-door big-sister type!"
CRACK—
Kamishiro's words struck a nerve in the trio.
When they had just entered puberty, who hadn't fantasized about the perfect older sister?
However… most people didn't actually have one. It was nothing but a fantasy.
That's exactly why so many guys are obsessed with older sisters.
After all—
It's the unattainable fantasy of their youth!
Iori: Wait, how come I didn't know Kamishiro and Nanaka-nee were childhood friends?
"Bastard!"
"Let's duel!!!"
They couldn't take it anymore. Yamamoto and the others wanted to have a samurai duel—this way, they could knock out the competition right away!
Kamishiro sneered. Good, he was thinking the same thing. This absurd group date shouldn't exist!
Just as they were about to throw down—
A voice dripping with seduction echoed out.
"Oh? Am I late?"
That voice, like a witch's whisper, made the three perverts instinctively freeze and look toward its source.
And in that instant, seeing the real person, they felt like they were gazing at a succubus from hell!
Loose short sleeves, ultra-short shorts—a completely different style from the elegant Nanaka beside her!
An angel and a devil appeared at the same time!
SLAP!
Without hesitation, the three of them split their metaphorical chopsticks—now targeting two instead of one.
"What happened to being devoted to only one?!"
Iori looked stunned. Sure, he knew these guys were scum, but that shift was way too fast!
It hadn't even been a full minute since they swore eternal loyalty!
Kamishiro's mouth twitched. Since Azusa-nee had shown up, that meant the group date was about to start.
No point dueling anymore.
But…
It was time to mark his territory!
Under the disbelieving stares of the perverts, Kamishiro confidently sat between the two women.
He wrapped an arm around each of them, the softness of their ample chests pressing against him.
"Nanaka-nee, Azusa-nee, I didn't expect to see both of you at this group date~"
As he spoke, one of his hands wandered along Azusa-nee's slender waist.
Azusa's seductive eyes held a trace of surprise. But seeing the dumbfounded expressions of the three across from them, she seemed to understand and smoothly placed her hand on Kamishiro's chest.
"So, are we playing together tonight~? Two big sisters, you know~"
Nanaka-nee seemed a bit dazed, blushing but she didn't push him away.
BOOM!
Yamamoto and the others looked like they were struck by lightning, turning pale and ashen.
At that moment, their spirits were utterly crushed.
An angel?
A devil?
Both were wrapped up in the arms of that damned bastard!!!
And that devil-nee-san just said they were going to play tonight!
Play what?!
AAAAAAAARGH!!!
Sink him!!!
He must be sunk to the bottom of the ocean!!!
Feeling the scorching gazes from across the table, Kamishiro smirked proudly.
He knew—after the group date ended, he'd probably get beaten to hell.
But there was no way he was giving up his territory!
He needed to hit them with the fiercest display to crush their hope completely!
As for the revenge afterward?
Heh, do they not understand the weight of being the most wanted student at his school?
Unfortunately, Kamishiro's smugness didn't last long.
Because…
The other attendees of the group date finally arrived.
Seeing Kiyoko's ambiguous smile, Kamishiro's expression froze, and he silently pulled his hand away from Azusa-nee's waist.
Kamishiro was on the verge of mental collapse.
Why… WHY was Kiyoko here too?!
But after looking at the rest of the group, he breathed a sigh of relief. Thank god—no Sakurako.
As long as it's just Nanaka-nee and Azusa-nee, Kamishiro could go wild. Both of them were the understanding type.
Even with Kiyoko added in, the situation would just be a little awkward. As long as he and Azusa kept things toned down, it would be fine.
But!
If Kiyoko and Sakurako showed up together…
This wouldn't be a group date anymore, it'd be a war zone!
Whew…
Luckily, no Sakurako!
Perfect. Everyone for the group date was finally here.
The lineup was: Nanaka-nee, Azusa-nee, Chisa, Aina, Kiyoko, and Rie.
Just as he suspected—Nanaka-nee didn't have many friends to begin with.
