"Look over there!"
Yanami's voice brought Yuigahama Yui back to her senses.
She and Yakishio Lemon looked in the direction Yanami was pointing and found a display screen hanging above the door for some reason.
"I saw this episode on Twitter!"
Anna continued: "It's a room you can't leave until you XX!"
"No way! Girls can't XX each other!"
Yakishio Lemon's eyes widened, and she shouted in disbelief.
"…"
"…"
"Why aren't you two saying anything? Say something quickly, I'm scared!"
Yakishio Lemon looked at the two girls, who were inexplicably blushing, and suddenly felt her chastity was in grave danger.
"When facing a survival crisis, some things can be abandoned."
Yuigahama Yui said.
"Don't abandon it! Rather, it hasn't reached such a desperate point yet!"
"—By Koyuki."
"Don't believe it! I've long thought that someone who would name their club the Service Club must have problems!"
Yakishio Lemon loudly rebuked.
And Yanami, after a long period of contemplation, said.
"Maybe there are still cucumbers in the kitchen fridge."
Yakishio Lemon said helplessly: "Don't think about eating at a time like this…"
Yanami: "…"
"…You want to eat, right? Please, quickly tell me you just want to eat like usual!"
Yakishio Lemon trembled.
A few minutes later, the screen at the door lit up, and Asakura's voice came through.
"Hi, I Want To Play A Game… Wait, what are you doing?"
"…Just practicing the survival experience Koyuki told me about."
"…Just couldn't find cucumbers, so I planned to use carrots."
Yuigahama Yui and Anna chuckled awkwardly.
The victim, Yakishio Lemon, was huddled in a corner, disheveled, muttering, "I can't get married," "The stains on the ceiling are no good…"
"I was so foolish, really. I only knew boys were dangerous, but I didn't know girls could be too…"
And other strange things.
"Although I invited you, can you please not do strange things in someone else's house?"
"Don't talk nonsense, Asakura-kun, let us out quickly!"
Yanami said, waving her small fists at the screen, unwilling to show weakness.
"It's just a study session, though the format is a bit unconventional, but you already agreed yesterday."
"What kind of study session is it to lock girls in a house?!"
"This is a room you can't leave if the combined total score of the three of you in the comprehensive subject is less than 180."
"Surprisingly wholesome… but I refuse! A study session without snacks is just jail, and it's almost noon, I want to go have lunch!"
The girl loudly complained with dissatisfaction.
"Guh?!"
But before she could complain much longer, a pile of compressed biscuits fell from the sky, burying Yanami directly.
"Other things aside, locking people up still has some public order and morality issues, right?"
Yuigahama Yui said rationally, objectively, and neutrally: "If we don't go home for a long time, our families will worry too."
"Yes, yes, Mitsuki will be very worried!"
Yakishio Lemon also nodded vigorously from the side. It seemed that the few people were just playing around earlier and hadn't really reached the point of bullying.
Rather, as the only athlete among the three, Yakishio Lemon had an overwhelming physical advantage over Yanami and Yuigahama Yui. If she herself didn't resist, the other two combined would not be her match.
"Regarding this, please watch the VCR."
"Are you filming some kind of prank variety show…"
Yuigahama Yui complained, somewhat unable to hold back.
But then she saw on the screen footage of Asakura visiting each of their three homes, and even footage of him talking with Ayano Mitsuki. Whether facing their parents or Ayano Mitsuki, Asakura appeared at ease and enjoyed a pleasant conversation with them.
Following that were several disclaimers signed by Yanami, Yuigahama, and Yakishio-san's parents.
"I have already obtained permission for all of you to stay overnight for tutoring. If you don't want to go to school tomorrow morning with no shower and an all-nighter's bare face, I suggest you start studying immediately."
"How is that possible…"
Yanami, who had emerged from the pile of compressed biscuits, said in disbelief: "No matter what, staying overnight at a boy's house is too much. Normally, it shouldn't be allowed…"
"If this boy is the 'top student in the grade,' and it's not staying overnight at his house, but just staying overnight at 'other girls' houses, then it's fine."
"Isn't this the President's house?"
Yakishio Lemon asked in surprise: "The nameplate clearly has the President's surname."
"Until yesterday, it was my house, but today I temporarily rented the house to Chihaya for 1 yen, so now this is Asagumo's house."
As he spoke, the screen changed to a smiling brown-haired girl with her forehead exposed.
"You must reform well and strive to be human soon, Lemon-chan~"
"Oh no, Mitsuki's chastity is in danger now! Let me out quickly!"
Yakishio Lemon immediately hammered the door anxiously with her fists: "And President, you must be lying. Mitsuki would never abandon me here alone!"
"Um… we are also human, you know?"
Yuigahama Yui reminded her sheepishly from behind.
"Regarding this, please watch the VCR."
"This gag is enough after one time!"
Amidst Yakishio Lemon's complaints, the screen changed again.
This time, it was footage with the distinct flavor of pirated AV quality.
In the footage, Asakura was negotiating with Ayano Mitsuki.
"No, I can't let Lemon be locked up alone."
"So we are human too!"
Yuigahama Yui was on the verge of tears.
"I see. But you can take a look at this first. This is Yakishio Lemon's mock exam transcript."
"This... this kind of misery..."
"Lemon, how many points did you score on the mock exam?"
Yuigahama Yui asked curiously.
"How about we talk about something more lighthearted, like Anna's appetite..."
"Compared to your score, even Anna-chan's appetite seems lighthearted now... It feels like nothing was said, yet everything was said..."
"Are you two dissatisfied with my appetite? My appetite looks like that of an ordinary high school girl, doesn't it? At most, it's because I've been learning health exercises recently, so my metabolism is a little faster and I get hungry easily."
Yuigahama Yui & Yakishio Lemon: "..."
No, no, no, aren't you a bit too unaware of your own appetite?
