The blue sea, my youth

A question came from behind Azusa-senpai, "Hey, is that Azusa?"

Hearing the voice behind her, Azusa-senpai looked back. Although she was wearing heavy makeup, she recognized her at a glance, "Are you Maya?"

"Correct♪", Maya was very happy that her good friend recognized her.

Azusa-senpai: "Long time no see, how are you?"

Maya: "Not at all, I'm busy with work every day, exhausted."

Iori on the side: "You can recognize me even in this situation."

Takaharu: "But it took me a long time to recognize you, you have a great talent for cross-dressing."

Seeing that Azusa-senpai and Kanako-senpai were chatting so familiarly, Aina: "Azusa-senpai and Kanako's sister know each other?"

Takaharu and the other person who were sneaking around also stopped and looked at them curiously.

Senior Azusa: “Yeah——”

Maya: “Although we haven’t seen each other for a while.”

Senior Azusa: “Is this the so-called frank relationship?”

Maya was amused by Senior Azusa’s words, “Azusa, you are so pretentious! It’s still the same——”

Aina was sweating, “I-I can’t tell what you mean.”

The innocent Chisa looked at Aina innocently: “What else?”

After chatting with Maya for a while, Senior Azusa looked at Iori and Takaharu, “By the way, are you busy now?”

Iori: “As you can see, yes.”

Takaharu: “I don’t know why, such a strange store name can still attract so many customers.”

“Oh, so, I was thinking of borrowing some help.” Senior Azusa said, twirling her hair, “My friend is the person in charge of the school festival executive committee. She said that the preparation time for the voice actor meeting is not enough, and it seems that it will be shortened…”

Before she finished speaking, the hero appeared!

Kohei moved so fast that Iori's wig was blown up. He knelt in front of Senior Azusa like a knight and said solemnly, "Please treat me like a dog."

Before Senior Azusa could reply, Kohei said, "I'll change into a set of clothes that are convenient for movement right away!" and ran to the locker room.

Senior Azusa finally had the chance to ask Aina: "Is it okay?"

Aina: "It's okay..." Chisa: "If I stop him, I'll definitely get beaten up..."

Seeing the hope of changing clothes, Iori, who had not planned to help, also spoke up, "Then I'll go help too."

Aina: "You can't go." Chisa: "Rejected."

Takaharu, who also thought of this, said: "Since Iori can't go, I'll go help."

Aimi discovered Takaharu's little intention to run away: "You can't go either."

"Why?!" ×2

Kohira, who was quick to make a decision, had already changed back to his previous outfit, "Sorry to have kept you waiting!"

Aina: "Clothes that are easy to move in?" Chisa: "My hands are full, can I really help on the scene like this?"

Kohira said resolutely: "Today, I can only exert my greatest strength by wearing this."

Hearing what he said, Aina and Chisa no longer refuted anything. Since he thought it was okay, then it was okay.

"Like what Kohei does!" Senior sister Azusa is already familiar with Kohei's operation. Before leaving, she said hello to Aina and the others, "Then I'll borrow him away--"

Kohei couldn't wait to rush out, "Let's go." When he said the word "I", Kohei was still in the store, and when he said the word "bar", he had already run out of the store for nearly ten meters.

After the two left, looking at their backs, Maya couldn't help but sigh: "The kid's dress just now was really amazing."

The two people behind her also heard this, because it was their first meeting, and they didn't know what kind of person Maya was, so they didn't know whether Maya would have any alternative views on Kohei's just now. After all, Japanese society doesn't look down on otakus.

Takaharu wanted to ask her what she thought, but Iori blocked him with his hand and walked over, "He's always like that."

Takaharu saw Iori approaching and talking to her. He didn't care whether Maya replied to Iori or not. He trusted Iori and turned to help make coffee. He believed that no matter what Maya's impression of Kohei was, she would definitely have a positive impression after hearing what Iori said.

Of course, there was a new problem now. Kohei happily went to help clean up the venue, so there was one less waiter, so Takaharu, who could have been slacking off behind the bar, had to get involved.

I don't know if it was because of lunch, but when Senior Sister Azusa came over just now, she could chat leisurely, but now she was busy.

Just after sending off two tables, the door opened again. Although I didn't want anyone to come, I still had to greet guests.

Fortunately, Takaharu and Iori, who were near the door, said in unison: "Welcome."

Takaharu, who only heard the noise but didn't see who was coming, heard Iori's tone change at the end, and felt as if he was surprised. Takaharu then looked at the four people who had just entered the store.

Only then did he know why Iori was suddenly a little surprised. The people who came in were the four scumbags who had agreed to meet at three o'clock yesterday to enter Aoki together.

Nojima: "Four people." Mitarai: "It's so hot today." Yamamoto: "I'm so thirsty." Fujiwara: "..."

'As long as I'm not the one to receive them...' Holding the mentality of "betraying a friend rather than a poor man", the two who didn't want to expose themselves in women's clothing turned their backs, hoping that they would find a place to sit by themselves and ignore themselves. It would be best if they asked Iori (Takaharu) to order and then found out that it was a man dressed as a woman.

This way, they could both watch their bad friends embarrass themselves and avoid the possibility of being laughed at.

However, both of them forgot the biggest problem - this group of scumbags would not think so much, especially the most hungry Yamamoto and Nojima who dared not miss the opportunity to chat with girls.

Mitarai and Fujiwara were just curious why the waiter turned his head, while Nojima directly stretched out his hand and said to Iori: "If you feel unwell, let me help you rub your back."

Yamamoto also followed suit and said to Takaharu: "My arms can also be your support when you rest."

Takaharu and the others didn't need to reply, Mitarai and Fujiwara had interrupted their obscene remarks one by one.

Mitarai looked at Iori, "Please forget your inappropriate behavior just now and just ignore them."

Fujihara looked at Takaharu in agreement and said, "They are just two scumbags."

Because the two people who were thinking inadvertently looked at the four people for a longer time, the overconfident Yamamoto turned around and asked with a little show-off: "Is there anything stuck on my face? I feel that the two girls are staring at me."

Fujiwara said relatively gently: "Nothing is stuck."

Mitarai was more direct, "You are as ugly as usual."

"Ladies, don't look at ugly men, look at me if you want to look." Nojima took the opportunity to speak greasy again.

Iori realized that the four people in front of him didn't seem to recognize him, and Takaharu was a little aware of it after being disgusted by Yamamoto, and was thinking about how to get out of it.

Yamamoto: "The joke about me being an ugly man is not funny."

Mitarai: "I'm not kidding."

Nojima: "Go look in the mirror in the bathroom."

Fujiwara: "By the way, face the reality."

The four people playing around at the door will also affect business. Iori, who originally just didn't want to be discovered, is now bolder.

Iori took the initiative to greet: "I'll take you to your seat."

Seeing that Iori had spoken, Takaharu, who was still thinking about how to avoid it, took the opportunity to entertain other guests, but because he was curious about why they came two hours earlier, he basically worked near Iori.

Mitarai: "Okay... ah... wow!"

Fujiwara: "What's wrong with this store?"

Yamamoto trembled and recalled the previous social gathering, "... Aoki... this makeup..."

Nojima, who went to the social gathering with Yamamoto, also remembered it. Seeing Yamamoto trembling violently, he still advised: "Yamamoto, forget about that social gathering."

However, the foursome was relieved after seeing Iori. Fujiwara: "Fortunately, this sister is a beauty."

Yamamoto also woke up from his previous memories and happily agreed: "Yeah, by the way, Mitarai."

Nojima: "You are also quite resourceful."

Fujiwara: "This suggestion is really great."

Mitarai: "It's just so-so."

Yamamoto said what Takaharu and Iori were concerned about, "They actually suggested that we go one step ahead of the three of them."

Mitarai Mitarai said proudly: "After all, it's a ticket for four people."

Fujiwara: "Then there must be a lot of girls in groups of four."

Yamamoto: "It's not good if there are too many people on our side."

Nojima: "In order to avoid fighting, we have to abandon those three scumbags, and each of them is weirder than the other. Imamura is okay, but he's too handsome. Furuichi has a girlfriend, and the biggest problem is Kitahara who will compete with us for his girlfriend."

Fujiwara: "But the three of them are half-naked perverts, which makes people more jealous of Furuichi having a girlfriend."

Mitarai: "No matter which pervert follows us, the success rate will definitely decrease."

Yamamoto: "Abandoning them is really the right choice."

The two who listened to the whole story understood why they met the four-person group in advance, but Takaharu, who was abandoned only because he had a girlfriend, didn't complain much, but in their mouthsThe resentment of Iori, who is described as particularly excessive in the book, is not ordinary.

When Takaharu saw that Iori's hands holding the tray were bulging with blue veins, and the style of painting changed to that of a hot-blooded comic, he knew that the four-member group was going to be tricked. Takaharu, who was happy to see it, silently became a bystander.

After several people sat down, Mitarai: "Excuse me, can we order now?"

"Yes, what do you want?" Iori used a false voice to answer Mitarai's question.

Takaharu then realized that in addition to Kohei, Iori also had the skill of false voice. Of course, it can be heard that he is not as skilled as Kohei, but it is still enough to deceive scumbags.

After asking Mitarai and Nojima normally, Iori turned his attention to Yamamoto and asked with a smile: "What would this virgin customer like to order?"

"Your question is too weird, isn't it?!" Yamamoto's pain was touched by this word. Regardless of whether it was in public or not, he refuted fiercely, "I'm not a virgin!!"

Iori's response was to block his face with the tray, and while preventing saliva from dripping, he shouted tenderly: "Ah~"

Before saying anything, the other three scumbags had already rushed forward. Mitarai: "Sit down, virgin!!" Fujiwara: "Don't bother me, virgin!" Nojima: "It's all your fault for looking like a virgin! Virgin!!"

Iori bowed slightly and apologized: "Sorry, I was rude because you look like a virgin. .man."

Hearing these heartbreaking words, Yamamoto said: "It sounds like an apology, but it's actually more cruel."

Mitarai: "It's the truth, there's nothing we can do about it." Nojima: "I see you also think he's a virgin."

"Then let me ask again," Iori asked cheerfully again, "What does this customer who has been a virgin for life need?"

Yamamoto stood up again, "No one knows what will happen in the future, right? !"

Nojima: "Sit down, a virgin with a permanent honor!"

Mitarai repeated: "It's the truth, there's nothing we can do about it."

Fujiwara: "Just look forward to your next life!"

Mitarai: "Place your order quickly." Nojima: "Time is precious."

Yamamoto no longer dwelled on this and ordered an iced coffee as well.

"Then let me check the menu," Iori said, looking at the menu in his hand, ignoring the male supporting character Fujiwara perfectly, "Three servings of Cherry coke." (Cherry is a metaphor for a virgin man)

"He's the only one who ordered this!" Mitarai and Nojima pointed at Yamamoto and retorted in unison.

Yamamoto, who was hurt innocently: "I didn't order it either!"

Iori saw that the revenge appetizers were already finished, and in order to prevent the others from getting too excited, he explained: "Sorry, it was just a little joke."

Fujiwara: "Little?"

Yamamoto: "This joke deeply hurts my heart."

Mitarai: "So it was a little joke."

Nojima: "So naughty."

"I'm very sorry." Iori thought of another idea, "If possible, I suggest you try the coffee-flavored cocktail."

Yamamoto, who had already accepted that it was just a little joke, said: "There's also wine, let's drink two glasses to build up courage for chatting up."

Mitarai and Nojima also ordered a glass.

Iori once again ignored the male supporting character Fujiwara, and said "Please wait for a moment" and left, leaving Fujiwara alone with his hand raised.

Takaharu, who had been nearby, lent a helping hand to Iori, because he probably guessed what Iori wanted to do, and Takaharu, who was active at the bar before, knew that there was no strong liquor in the store, and if Iori wanted to use the water of life, he would not be able to find it.

Takaharu also slipped into the storage room behind the bar. Of course, seeing the two people sneaking into the storage room, Aina also followed, and then heard the discussion between Takaharu and Iori.

Takaharu: "You want to kill those guys with the Water of Life, right?"

Iori: "Yes, but I didn't find it."

Takaharu: "I brought a bottle with me when I came here. Wait for me to find it. I hid it at the bar."

Aina stopped Takaharu who was about to leave. "You two, don't think about causing trouble in the store. If you cause any disturbance, the security will be dispatched. This year is especially strict!"

Takaharu had no way to help now. He showed a helpless expression to Iori and went out to help, leaving Iori to think about what to do.
