The Cheating Cat Gets Caught / Room Assignments Are Settled

"Eh?! Asahina- senpai shot first."

Seeing Aoyama, who had been attacked by the two of them, plunge into the sea, Karuizawa immediately felt a sense of unease and was filled with resentment.

They attacked Asahina first, so why are they targeting her first?

"Got you?"

Emerging from the sea, Aoyama arrived behind the Karuizawa was sitting, and then suddenly grabbed Karuizawa's fair and delicate ankle.

"Get down."

Dragging the panicked Karuizawa off the boat and into the sea, Aoyama immediately covered her tightly closed pink lips and chased after the little red snake that smelled of seawater.

Half a minute later, he emerged from the sea with Karuizawa, who was limp all over but looking excited.

"Karuizawa's expression, she has already betrayed us." Hasebe had somehow appeared next to Asahina, holding a small pistol-shaped water gun.

"Yes, so there's no need to worry about Karuizawa anymore."

Echoing Hasebe's words, Ichinose stood on the small boat where Karuizawa had been sitting, holding the water gun that Karuizawa had just picked up.

Kamuro waved his hand, "On my command, attack together!"

Use water guns if you have them, or just splash them with your hands if you don't. In an instant, Aoyama and Karuizawa were engulfed in a barrage of attacks.

"Two people, come up here and help with the barbecue."

After playing in the sea for a while, Aoyama swam back to the boat to prepare lunch. The ingredients he had bought in the morning needed to be processed, not grilled.

"Yes, yes, I'll help." Asahina was the first to raise her hand, her tone very lively.

"Me too!"

Before Ichinose, Hasebe also raised his hand and followed Asahina back onto the ship.

Aoyama glanced at Hasebe, who looked like Phoebe; the water droplets on her fair skin shimmered faintly in the sunlight.

While Asahina beside him was equally cute, her ability to attract attention was on a completely different level.

Aoyama chuckled teasingly, "You're actually eager to do the work; that's not Haruka at all."

"What do you mean 'not at all Haruka'? It's not like I don't want to do chores." Hasebe pouted. Although she wasn't a diligent girl, she wasn't lazy either.

She wasn't unwilling to do chores during study sessions, but there were so many girls in the room eager to help.

Besides, she didn't actually win this time.

"Do you usually cook?" Aoyama's gaze swept across the two of them.

Some vegetables need to be chopped, and the meatballs also need to be chopped to ensure they cook through.

Asahina gave a peace sign. "I usually do, you strange junior."

"Asahina, please help cut the ingredients, Haruka will be in charge of skewering them."

Assigning tasks, Aoyama began processing the meat ingredients, Asahina and Hasebe also got to work, each doing their own part.

The three of them worked together, and in no time the ingredients were almost ready.

"Hey, Shiki, how many personal points did you use for this yacht trip?" Hasebe finished stringing together a sausage covered in knife marks, wondering how many personal points Aoyama had spent.

"Over a million, I guess. Renting the boat was the biggest expense, and we also bought a lot of fireworks."

"And fireworks?" Asahina's tone revealed her delight.

"Yes, I had someone put them on the boat yesterday, but the kind for the fireworks festival is no longer available."

The kind that flies into the sky and explodes in a grand display—you can buy those in Aoyama —but setting off those big fireworks requires approval, and ordinary people can't just apply for them.

Hasebe couldn't help but retort, "It's normal that they don't have that kind of thing."

"It's possible to get it done, as long as we push Haruka take the blame when people come knocking."

I will report you immediately.

"So heartless?"

"I wonder who was the one who turned their back on me first," Hasebe muttered, pursing his lips.

During the peaceful chat, the ingredients were prepared and Aoyama started burning charcoal, while also calling the girls from the sea back to work.

Soon the deck was packed with people, all gathered around a rectangular barbecue grill to start grilling.

Because there wasn't enough space, the largest of them, Aoyama, could only stand behind the girls, and did nothing but wait to eat.

"I thought things were going to get tense, you womanizing junior."

Asahina quietly added a grilled sausage to Aoyama's bowl and spoke to the flirtatious junior Asahina a low voice.

She didn't want to come at first. Although she was looking forward to seeing Aoyama, she was more afraid of being caught in the middle of all the girls, since Kamuro had said that most of the people going were Aoyama's girlfriends.

However, Kamuro said that if she wasn't going, he wouldn't go either, so she agreed.

"Did I disappoint you, senior?"

"Am I the kind of person who gloats? Rather, I think it's quite good." Asahina's gaze fell on the laughing crowd, and a hint of envy arose in her heart.

She's a person who enjoys being around people, but lately she's been quite lonely.

Although it was because of her junior classmate, she didn't resent him. In fact, she was somewhat grateful to this philandering junior for helping her shatter the illusion of happiness.

She no longer needed to feel a slight sense of guilt towards Nagumo, her childhood sweetheart, and was able to decisively cut off all contact with him.

"Hey, junior."

An idea surfaced in his mind, Asahina couldn't help but speak again.

Aoyama swallowed the sausage Asahina had grilled for her. "Yeah, I'm listening to what you said, Senpai."

"... Never mind."

"Senior, are you messing with my mind?"

Somewhat helplessly, Aoyama looked at Asahina and began to speculate on what Asahina originally intended to say.

How could he not care about Asahina's hesitant manner?

"Then consider this skewer of meatballs as an apology."

Suppressing her complicated emotions, Asahina gave a playful laugh and stuffed the skewer of meatballs she had just eaten into Aoyama's mouth.

Then, she left Aoyama with a beautiful silhouette and returned to the group of girls.

What are you trying to say? Ugh, this is a bit burnt.

Taking a bite of the dumpling, Aoyama clearly tasted the burnt flavor. He wondered if Asahina had deliberately stuffed it into his mouth because he didn't want to eat it.

After the barbecue, which lasted for more than an hour, was finished and the food scraps were cleaned up, the next activity began.

"Each person takes turns within a time limit; whoever catches the most gets priority for the sleeping room."

After preparing several fishing rods, Aoyama distributed them to the girls.

There are four rooms on the yacht, some large and some small. Two people per room would be just right for eight people, though it might feel a bit cramped, but that's unavoidable.

"Of course, the master bedroom is mine."

Aoyama added that, given his size, he could only sleep in the largest master bedroom.

"I will win. That's me." Ichinose smile, trying to liven up the atmosphere.

"Hmph, I'll show you what a fishing master is all about, Ichinose- senpai."

Sensing the approaching competition, Asahina appeared somewhat excited.

Soon, the first fishing competition officially kicked off, while Aoyama, an outsider, returned to his cabin and comfortably relaxed on the sofa while sipping an iced drink.

The comfortable temperature under the bright sunshine made him, who had been swimming like a little white dragon in the ocean that morning, want to take a nap.

Not long after, he closed his eyes, obeying his body's instincts.

Time passed quietly, and after fishing for more than half an hour, Asahina lost patience and gave the fishing rod to Sakura, returning to the cabin to rest.

I also had some snacks from my morning grocery shopping to lift my spirits.

Is the junior student asleep?

Upon entering the cabin, the first thing Asahina saw was Aoyama sleeping on the sofa. His handsome face was framed by peacefully closed eyes, and he didn't react at all to her arrival.

No wonder so many female students like you; you truly deserve to be the most handsome boy in the first year.

As if by some strange twist of fate, Asahina found a bag of cotton candy and sat down next to Aoyama's head, eating it while watching his sleeping face.

After admiring that handsome sleeping face for a while, her gaze shifted downwards, landing on his well-defined and muscular chest and abs.

I want to touch it.

Asahina felt a little itchy to touch it, but she was worried that Aoyama wasn't sleeping soundly enough, so she took out a cotton candy and twirled it in front of Aoyama's nose.

Seeing that Aoyama's eyes remained still, she slowly reached out her hand.

"What are you doing, Asahina- senpai?"

When Asahina finally touched Aoyama's hard muscles, she heard Kamuro's voice coming from the cabin door.

"Ah... Kamuro, what brings you here?"

"I... I was just a little curious."

As if electrocuted, Asahina withdrew her hand, looking at her junior with a panicked expression, filled with regret.

How could she have acted so impulsively and done something so indecent?

"Well."

Based on what he saw upon entering— Asahina's bright, joyful eyes— Kamuro judged that this beautiful upperclassman was very likely also developing feelings of infatuation with Aoyama.

You're always flirting with other women, you bastard.

He walked straight to Aoyama's side, and Kamuro sat down on Aoyama, pinching Aoyama's cheek with his fingers.

"Stop pretending, get up."

Having spent a lot of time with Aoyama, Kamuro believed that Aoyama, with his extremely sensitive senses, was definitely awake the moment Asahina touched him.

"Yes, yes, I'll get up right now."

Feeling embarrassed for Asahina, Aoyama reluctantly opened his eyes to let Asahina know that he was awake.

He woke up the moment Asahina sat down next to him, but after smelling Asahina's scent, he pretended to be asleep again to see what Asahina wanted to do next to him.

Asahina's eyes widened. "When did you wake up, Aoyama -senpai?!"

"At the beginning?"

Aoyama revealed a fact that Asahina found somewhat difficult to accept, and in an instant Asahina's face was filled with embarrassment and a charming shyness.

Then, under the watchful eyes of Aoyama and Kamuro, she slipped into the restroom.

"Can't you stop being so popular, you bastard?" Kamuro grabbed Aoyama's cheeks with both hands and pulled them.

Asahina's hasty retreat only further confirmed her suspicions: Asahina must have feelings for Aoyama.

"Is it my fault?"

Suddenly sitting up, Aoyama embraced her slender waist, which had slipped down to his Kamuro, and pulled her into his arms.

"If it's not your fault, who is?" With large patches of skin pressed against Aoyama's body without any gaps, Kamuro immediately became shy, and his voice softened.

"How many have you caught, Masumi?"

Aoyama leaned close to Kamuro's ear and gently inhaled the faint fragrance emanating from Kamuro and neck.

On the Uninhabited Island Kamuro showcased his fishing skills, and he believes that Kamuro is most likely to be the winner today.

"One ran, two were loaded."

"As expected of my Masumi, she's amazing."

"Who owns your house anymore?"

"Now that things have come to this, Masumi, you can't escape."

He pulled Kamuro close, pressing Kamuro against his body, Aoyama quickly kissed him on the corner of his mouth.
