He's a crossover character in anime/manga, and basically just very despicable.

On the very day the Kendo Club suffered a complete defeat, this place acquired a name that the students of Shuchiin Academy were more familiar with:

"The ghost cave of Dajiangshan".

Like the demon cave where Shuten-dōji leads his demons to devour people, this place is filled with the sounds of heavy drinking, loud laughter, and occasionally the wails of poor students who have strayed into it. The club president, Juryūjirō, is the demon king of this hell of wine and meat, grinning as he defeats the samurai who come to subdue him, enjoying their pathetic retreat—as for those who fail to escape, their fate is unknown.

In Japan, almost every school has its own campus legends like "the seven wonders of xxx", but what are those at Shuchiin University?

How could there be demons or monsters that could go to a diving club and come out unharmed?

Of course they exist, but they're not monsters, they're people.

Although he no longer intends to be a human being.

"Anxin West Road, Matou-kun."

Villainous nature activated.

"Since some people say this place is some kind of ghost cave..."

A strange aura surrounded Azami Kurosaki, sending chills down Shinji Matou's spine, yet amidst the immense terror, there was also a strange, inexplicable sense of security.

It's like sleeping peacefully in a dark yet warm room...

"Then I'll see what kind of evil spirits are inside."

Before he could even react, Kurosaki Azami had already headed towards the door.

——————————————The Crimson King—————————————————————

"Come on! Drink some more!"

“Out Safe! Rock-paper-scissors…”

As soon as I pushed open the door, a deafening roar came from the activity room, followed by an unpleasant smell, probably a mixture of alcohol and sweat.

Add to that a bunch of screaming, wildly dancing naked men...

The members of the Kendo Club didn't gouge out their own eyes; their willpower was truly strong.

"Oh! It's General Affairs Manager Kurosaki! What a rare guest! How about we play a strip rock-paper-scissors game?"

The blond, muscular man, surrounded by mosaics and reeking of alcohol, looked at Kurosaki Azami with considerable surprise, and enthusiastically raised a large bowl.

His face was flushed with the redness of drunkenness, and he wore an incredibly philosophical smile.

Good heavens, you are my Billy King♂, living in Fantasy Land♂

This person was none other than Juryujiro.

"Please be quiet, everyone. I have something very important to tell you all," Kurosaki Azami cleared his throat and said seriously.

"Brothers, stop for a moment and listen to what Kurosaki-kun has to say!"

Juryujiro spoke up, stopping the group who were still playing drinking games.

Strictly speaking, Juryujiro wasn't actually a bad person.

He has a good temper and won't hinder the work of the student council. However, every time someone from the student council comes, he says "Oh, right, right, right," but after leaving, he goes back to doing his own thing and continues to create campus legends, which is very troublesome.

"After discussion and decision by the student council, the diving club's application for a 20% increase in funding will be rejected."

Speak slowly to make sure everyone present can hear you.

"At the same time, the Diving Club's activities such as excessive drinking, running naked, and late-night gatherings on campus must be stopped immediately. The club's recruitment will be temporarily suspended until the Student Union deems that the Diving Club's discipline has returned to normal."

"Oh! That won't do! Funding is secondary; there's no precedent for forcing a club to make changes!"

Juryujiro expressed his opposition.

"I'm just doing my job, please don't make things difficult for our student council, okay? That old geezer principal is a real pain."

"This is really a difficult situation... In that case, we have no choice but to have a fair and square contest! If you defeat us, we will carry out the student council's orders and will never go back on our word!"

You must have prepared those lines a long time ago!

"We'll treat Kurosaki-kun to the Diving Club's signature oolong tea! As long as you stand until the very end without collapsing, we'll never go west if the student council tells us to go east!"

I've been waiting for you to say that!

"Okay, then I'll have to trouble you, Senior Shoulong."

"Truly worthy of being called 'Shuchiin's Right Hand,' General Affairs Manager Kurosaki! Someone, bring tea!"

A member of the commune stepped forward, carrying two bottles of wine.

I have a whiskey, I have a vodka.

Shake it, hmm~

Flammable oolong tea!

"Kurosaki-kun, I'll drink first as a sign of respect!"

Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh.

"What do you think of this tea, Kurosaki-kun?"

What the hell do you mean, "Screw you!"

If it weren't for the "pangolin's chicken soup cooking technique" used to add a hangover cure to the cup, I would have been lying down long ago. Although I was prepared to be carried out lying down when I accepted this task, but—

That little bit of hangover medicine definitely won't be enough for tonight...

"Senior Shoulong, this tea isn't strong enough, and there's not enough of it."

Even if you lose the fight, you must not lose face; you must overwhelm your opponent with your momentum.

He threw the glass on the ground, spilling a few drops of wine.

“I rinse my mouth with more than this before bed.”

"Kurosaki-kun is truly generous! Forget about this small cup, bring me a big bowl!"

A large vat, of unknown origin, was filled with all sorts of strong liquor. An ordinary person would get drunk just by getting close to it, and if someone were to drink it all in one night, that person would surely die on the spot.

"Stop for a second, Senior Shoulong."

Kurosaki Azami raised his wine bowl.

"It's not very interesting for just the two of us to drink, in my opinion..."

He splashed the wine in his hand onto the gathered diving club members, soaking them completely, but no one cared.

"It's more fun when everyone drinks together!"

"Yes! Let's drink together! Let's drink together!"

"Bring out all the inventory! Kurosaki, the general affairs manager, and we're partying all night!"

The atmosphere became even more lively.

Haven't you all figured it out yet?

My goal was simply to throw that bowl of wine away.

——————————————Several hours later——————————————————

"I never imagined Kurosaki-kun... possessed such an astonishingly large capacity... It's truly exhilarating... I'm... utterly... awestruck..."

thump.

Another one fell at my feet.

Juryujiro had long since collapsed on the ground, unable to get up again. Other members had come to his rescue before, but now even he was unable to do so.

"It's my turn... Kurosaki, the general affairs manager..."

Creating a buzz and having the diving club members drink first is just the basic tactic; the key is the next move—

"Crimson King! Delete 3 seconds of time!"

In an instant, the surrounding scenery shattered, and Kurosaki Azami entered a space that resembled a vast universe.

Kurosaki Azami knew perfectly well what would happen in those three seconds: the way the company members toasted each other, the way the drunkards around him rolled over, and everything else in the world that would happen within those three seconds.

This is the world after "time deletion"!

Within those 3 seconds, only Azami Kurosaki could react, and only his actions had meaning.

The wine was splashed on the fallen commune members.

Because they were drinking strong liquor, no one was woken up by the splash.

Because everyone in the diving club was drunk, even the last member who could still stand up didn't have the mental capacity to think about "why the alcohol on his clothes hadn't dried yet after all this time."

Because the Crimson King's endurance has been enhanced, it has become possible to erase time so many times.

"There's only a little over an hour left before dawn..."

I recorded the whole process myself, so I'm not afraid the diving club will deny it.

To avoid being noticed, Kurosaki Azami poured half a bottle of liquor on himself and then found a secluded corner to lie down and fall asleep.

"If anyone ever dares to make me drink again, I'll strangle them..."

P.S.: I have so few favorites! Please support me, dear readers! o(╥﹏╥)o

Chapter Seven: Who is the Male Lead?

The next morning, at the main gate of Shuchiin Academy.

"The president is here so early."

"Yo~ Indeed, it's the first time I've seen the student council president arrive before the school gates even open~"

"Yeah, I'm mainly a little worried about that guy, Ji."

Shirogane Miyuki's dark circles are even deeper than before.

He was more than just a little worried. Yesterday, he tried to call his best friend to ask how his task was going, but he couldn't get through no matter what he tried. He went back to Xiuzhiyuan to check, but the school gates were closed and only the activity room of the diving club had a light on.

Sure enough, this guy went to the diving club alone!

There's nothing I can do now but go home and wait for news from my dear friend.
