Ayanokoji was momentarily stunned.
What the hell, Yomotsuki Runa stole alcohol?
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka put down the lunch and looked at Yomotsuki Runa.
She was sitting on a raised bar stool, sprawled on the bar counter, sound asleep, her little face flushed. From time to time, she would smack her lips, looking as if she hadn't had enough.
She did keep her promise not to touch "Captain Dragonfly," but next to her were two empty glass cups.
Besides the one Kurume Laiwei mixed, she even drank the unfinished rum that Ayanokoji had poured for Meari.
He had clearly told her not to drink alcohol, yet she still stole drinks when he wasn't around. What kind of rebellious psychology was this... Ayanokoji was speechless.
"What did you mix the drink with?" Ayanokoji asked Kurume.
Kurume, feeling guilty, pointed to the alcohol she used: "This, this... and this."
Ayanokoji's gaze followed Kurume's finger, identifying the drinks, his expression growing increasingly strange—Gin, Tequila, Rum, Whiskey...
Good heavens, this Yomotsuki Runa completely raided the distillery!
When mixing cocktails, usually only one of these base liquors is needed, then flavored with various liqueurs or fruity alcoholic beverages. Why did Kurume use so many base liquors?
How strange would that taste?
And... Yomotsuki Runa actually drank it!?
These were all high-proof spirits. After this sleep, she wouldn't know how long it would take to wake up.
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka pinched Luna's face; her small face was hot, as if she had a fever. Even when Ayanokoji pinched her face, there was no reaction; she was completely passed out.
"Ayanokoji, what should we do!?" Kurume tugged on Ayanokoji's arm, looking at her nervously: "When she wakes up, if she finds out I mixed the drink, will she retaliate against me!?"
"Probably not. After all, she stole the drink herself, so she wouldn't come looking for trouble with you," Ayanokoji comforted Kurume.
Yomotsuki Runa would be too guilty to cause trouble for Kurume.
Ayanokoji thought for a moment and said, "She probably won't wake up for a while. I'll take her to the Student Council's lounge."
Later, Togakushi Yukimi and the others would go to the venue across the way to supervise, leaving only Ayanokoji and Luna. If she continued to rest here, it would be difficult to explain if someone saw her.
Ayanokoji's words were exactly what Kurume wanted. She nodded repeatedly: "Ayanokoji, then I'll leave it to you! And... please don't tell her that I mixed that drink!"
She clasped her hands together, pleading with Ayanokoji.
Togakushi Yukimi said with some concern, "Ayanokoji, if you meet other Student Council members in the Student Council lounge, how will you explain?"
"I'll explain it as usual, saying she secretly drank alcohol when we weren't around."
Ayanokoji picked up Yomotsuki Runa in a princess carry. Her body was very light, probably only a little over sixty pounds, making her exceptionally light to carry.
Meari was the average weight for a high school girl, while Yomotsuki Runa was about the same weight as an elementary school girl; it was impossible not to treat her like a child.
After greeting the two, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka carried Luna to the Student Council lounge.
Fortunately, it was Saturday, and not many people came to the Club Building. There was still some time before the second half of the competition began, and Ayanokoji Kiyotaka saw only a few people on his way.
Upon arriving at the lounge door, the room was locked, and no one answered, so he began searching Luna's pockets for the key.
Thankfully, she always carried her key with her. Ayanokoji found the key, opened the door, and gently placed her on the room's sofa.
After thinking for a moment, he covered her with a blanket.
It wouldn't be good to just leave, so Ayanokoji Kiyotaka was about to call Miharu Taki Sakura to inform her of Yomotsuki Runa's condition when suddenly, someone walked in.
"Luna, are you in the room? Have you seen..." The person who entered was Mikura. She pushed open the door, her words trailing off as she saw Ayanokoji Kiyotaka there.
Yomotsuki Runa's face was flushed, lying on the sofa, while Ayanokoji held his phone, facing her...
Instantly, a bad guess formed in Mikura's mind—Ayanokoji Kiyotaka wouldn't be taking private photos of Yomotsuki Runa, would he!?
When Yomotsuki Runa woke up, she received explicit photos sent by Ayanokoji and was threatened by him. If she didn't do as he demanded, these photos would spread throughout the entire school the next day.
Yomotsuki Runa was both shocked and enraged, but because Ayanokoji held leverage over her, she could only obey his commands, forced to complete "the master's tasks" in various places around the school...
For a moment, Mikura's mind conjured up all sorts of scenarios, most of them rather risqué...
To prevent Luna from becoming Ayanokoji's "prisoner" upon waking, Mikura let out a loud cry and rushed forward, trying to snatch the phone from Ayanokoji's hand: "Ayanokoji, what are you doing? Put down your phone!"
Ayanokoji hadn't even dialed the number yet. He looked up, intending to greet Mikura, when she suddenly charged at him.
Ayanokoji was stunned for a moment, stepping back to dodge her grab, but saw that she didn't stop. Instead, she continued to rush forward with an unstoppable momentum, seemingly determined not to give up until she snatched the phone.
Seeing her so persistent, Ayanokoji tapped the phone a few times before letting her snatch it.
"What are you doing?" Ayanokoji said, speechless. "Don't you have your own phone?"
"Who wants your phone! What kind of photos did you just take!? Delete them all right now!"
After snatching the phone, Mikura quickly opened Ayanokoji's photo album, wanting to delete all the explicit pictures of Yomotsuki Runa she thought he had taken.
But to her surprise, Ayanokoji's album was very "clean," containing only landscape photos, funny pictures, and some memes, not even a single selfie of himself.
How could this be?
Mikura backed out to the desktop, wanting to see what apps Ayanokoji had downloaded, but to her astonishment, besides essential pre-installed apps and some games, his phone didn't even have the apps typically found on a male's phone!
She disbelievingly opened Twitter and checked Ayanokoji's following list, finding only content creators and well-known actors from home and abroad; not a single explicit Twitter user was followed.
Even Mikura herself followed some unspeakable Twitter users to learn things from them, but Ayanokoji didn't follow any.
This was absolutely abnormal; a normal male's phone could not possibly be this clean!
Mikura scrolled for a while longer, and though unwilling, she had to accept this fact.
Mikura reluctantly handed the phone to Ayanokoji: "Ayanokoji, where did you hide those photos you took? Bring them all out and delete them!"
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka now realized what Mikura was thinking. He took the phone, his expression natural, and said, "Mikura, did you misunderstand something? Luna got drunk at my place; I just brought her over, that's all."
