"Ha ha ha..."
"Cheers!" Following Shizuka Hiratsuka, Utaha Kasumigaoka and Yukino Yukinoshita also arrived at the boys' dormitory. The sight before them left them just as stunned.
Setting aside Hikigaya, Hayato Hayama, and the others, who had already been drinking themselves merry, even Shizuka Hiratsuka, who had supposedly come to inspect the rooms, was enthusiastically challenging people to drinking contests. It couldn't be helped—downing a huge glass of ninety-six-proof vodka mixed with whiskey and the like in one gulp would get anyone drunk.

"Maybe Fish Leong gave it to her?" Sogo Doma said, somewhat awkwardly. He couldn't help it—even he had no desire to confront those two head-on when they joined forces. That
