After that, everyone continued to play for a while.

Not only the king game, they also played the ghost card game.

During this period, Yinglili also began to secretly pay attention to everyone.

Based on the news she heard from Shiyu, she focused her attention on a few objects, and as a result, her wooden fish brain really discovered some things that she had ignored in the past.

For example, Shinjoka is always paying attention to Kato Yusuke's every move, and will quietly let go when he draws ghost cards, actively catering to the latter.

There was nothing unusual about Hasumi Kanoko on the surface, but when Yoshida later joined the game and sat down next to her, her first reaction was to lean towards Kato Yusuke, including her sitting posture, which was always leaning towards that side.

Although some reasons can be found to explain it, that kind of subconscious behavior is still too suspicious!

Hui's reaction was the same as usual, she was still treating everyone equally, as if nothing could attract her attention.

But occasionally——!

When she met Kato Yusuke's eyes, she would rarely show a faint smile and playfulness.

And the other party seemed to care about Hui very much. Although he hid it well, he obviously paid more attention to Hui than others.

Especially the silent eye contact between the two always reveals an ambiguous tacit understanding, which makes people feel endlessly bored.

All in all, Yinglili finally discovered the clues that Shiyu said.

Looking back, many things actually had symptoms from a long time ago.

For example, Shinjoka always appears next to Kato Yusuke for no apparent reason.

For example, Hui’s weird expression when he listened to her talk about her troubles,

For example, the esoteric and difficult conversation between Hasumi Kanoko and Megumi...

These things that seemed normal before, once you think about it deeply, everything seems to be wrong!

All signs indicate that everything Shiyu said is true!

Yinglili didn't want to believe this, but with so many clues, she couldn't tolerate disbelief.

Everyone... are so cunning...!

Whether it’s because I found Yusuke... or something else... I was the one who came first——!

The more she thought about it, the more she felt aggrieved. She bit her lip involuntarily, and her twin ponytails drooped along with her drooped little head, looking a little listless.

But immediately, she thought of Shiyu again.

As arrogant as Shiyu is, what kind of mood does she have to accept other people...?

Although they often quarreled and disliked each other, Yinglili actually agreed with Shiyu in her heart, and at the same time she admired each other's courage to love and hate.

...if only I could be as brave as her.

——She had had this thought more than once.

Then, she suddenly remembered the afternoon when the other party cried alone in the corridor of the student union.

Ying Lili's heart tightened and she quickly shook her head.

In order to stop herself from thinking wildly, she randomly picked up a piece of Scottish chocolate, tore open the tinfoil package, threw it into her mouth, and started eating.

At this time, Shiyu and Xiangraku Mayu spoke.

"Hey, Sawamura, give me that chocolate too."

"Ah, then I want it too, I want it too~!"

"--Eh?"

Yinglili was startled by the two people talking to each other without warning, but then she immediately reacted.

"Oh, oh...here you are, I brought a lot, others can eat too."

As she said this, she generously distributed chocolates to everyone.

In the end, except for Kato Yusuke, Yoshida, Hasumi Kanoko and Megumi who took the initiative to decline, everyone else got a lot of chocolate.

Sagara Mayu: "Thank you~! This chocolate looks so high-end."

Serizawa Yu: "Hmm~~ It's so sweet and delicious!"

Shiyu: "Oh? This chocolate sandwich has a unique taste. It feels pretty good~"

The room was filled with the sound of delicious food.

Shintōka also ate a piece of chocolate, but after taking a bite, the special taste made her frown slightly.

She calmly raised her eyes and looked around, saying nothing, but did not eat the second piece.

Everyone was eating, drinking and playing cards, laughing non-stop, and the room was filled with joy.

◇

After the card game was over, everyone who had packed up the trash left.

Kato Yusuke and Yoshida went to take a bath together, and he walked out of the bathhouse first.

He originally planned to go back to the room directly, but he received a phone call that made him change his mind.

"...Hey, Yu-chan, come to our room right now. Sawamura and I have something to tell you."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"beep--"

Before he could ask the reason in detail, the call was unilaterally interrupted.

Kato Yusuke stared at the phone screen, hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to check out the situation.

Because Shiyu also mentioned Yinglili on the phone, he was not wary and just assumed that the two of them had work matters to talk to him about.

then--

"Caught~~!"

"Haha, be prepared, Yuu-chan~~~"

——When Kato Yusuke knocked on the door and entered the room without warning, and was pinned to the ground with his hands behind his back, and his wrists were tied with a belt, he was completely confused.

In contrast, two girls, one black and one gold, were riding on his back one behind the other with evil smiles on their faces.

"--Um???"

A series of question marks appeared on Kato Yusuke's head.

In fact, with his physical strength of 8 points, if he insists on resisting, no one can suppress him.

It was just because the people who attacked him were Yinglili and Shiyu, and in order to prevent them from being accidentally injured, he did not fight back.

At this time, he turned his face and met the eyes of the third person who was shivering in the corner.

"benefit……??"

"Ah...no~~um...I stopped it...?"

Hui said fearfully and glanced in a certain direction.

Kato Yusuke also followed her line of sight, and what caught his eye was a pile of chocolate wrappers scattered on the tatami.

"...Well~~because Yinglili said that her father bought too many British souvenirs, so they ate them all."

"What……?"

Kato Yusuke made a dull voice. He couldn't figure out the connection between the two for a while, so he twisted his neck and looked behind him.

"Anyway, Xiaoshi and Yinglili, can you guys come down first? This is too indecent - eh!?"

Before he finished speaking, a piece of chocolate was stuffed deeply into his mouth.

"Yusuke, you idiot, it's too much, wuwu~ It's too much..." Eirili cried, pulling back her wet fingers and wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Okay, you must make it clear today, Yuu-chan."

Shiyu leaned out his upper body from behind the former's shoulder and looked over with drunken eyes, "You have provoked so many women one after another, what are you going to do with us in the future?"

"Is Nimenjie so swollen and fat...?"

Kato Yusuke chewed the chocolate vaguely, and when he was about to say something, a strange spicy feeling suddenly melted in his mouth.

——That's pure Scotch whiskey filling.

He was startled for a moment, then suddenly realized and swallowed the chocolate whole, and said in shock:

"No, wait a minute——! Have you been eating this kind of thing before!??"

Eiri: "Kuwuwu... It's too much, Yusuke, how could you do that to us? You've obviously touched other people's legs, take responsibility, take responsibility! Wuwu~"

"Hey, don't cry yet..."

Shiyu: "Ah~ I always feel dizzy, my body is so hot, and my yukata is in the way, so I better take it off~~"

"——No taking off!!"

Kato Yusuke wrung his hands and struggled hard, and the straps binding his wrists were easily broken. In order to escape from the two drunk cats, he began to crawl forward on his hands and feet.

"Woo~ Move, it's moving...?"

"Eh~~~? Wait, stop shaking..."

Under his influence, the two girls riding on his back began to stagger, and finally fell down on the quilt with a "pop" sound.

Kato Yusuke was unmoved by this, he just struggled to get up, and then turned around.

The next moment, his heart skipped a beat.

"Ugh! It hurts so much..."
