"Should we line up every girl in the school so they can take turns slapping him?"

"Nah, boring. Hundred kicks straight to the balls sounds way more memorable."

"No, gurls. You are going too soft. A pervert doesn't deserve the gift of sight! Let's gouge his eyes out and feed them to starving rodents!!"

The girls whispered like a court of executioners, pretending Adrian didn't even exist. The only one to glance at him was Cammy, tugging her lower eyelid down and sticking out her tongue like a brat. Adrian gritted his teeth and shot her a glare that said "You're dead meat later." Cammy just smirked.

Lorraine finally raised her voice. "Four Eyes. You made a disgusting mess in our toilets, gods know doing what, so here's your punishment: clean all the girls' toilets until they shine like the moon goddess's ass!"

Adrian's jaw unhinged. "W-what?! There are like twenty stalls—"

Cammy cut him off, eyes flashing. "Shut it! You're lucky we're not hanging you by your boxers outside the clocktower. Don't act like you aren't thrilled about the fact that you get to linger in the girls' bathroom, exactly where a creep like you belongs."

Adrian swallowed his protests. He had been caught in the girls' toilet with unmistakable evidence on the floor. No one in the Academy's history books had ever won against a mob of girls in such circumstances. Still, he was doomed, there was no way he'd finish cleaning before dismissal. And he had to get home to cook dinner, then head into the dimensional realm to check on the slimes. All of that work was too much for one person.

He swallowed his pride. "…Can I at least… ask my friends to help me?"

"Sure, why not?" Lorraine said with a suspicious smile.

"But we're going with you," Cammy added, pointing a finger at him. "Try to run, and we'll shave your head bald."

"Yeah, no funny business!" Natalie chimed in, before grabbing Adrian by the belt like he was a sack of rice. "Mirai, grab the other side!"

Together they dragged him out into the hall.

The cafeteria was empty now, the lunchtime chaos replaced by the hushed shuffle of afternoon classes. They paraded Adrian straight into their classroom, where Asher and the boys were huddled around a shogi board instead of doing anything remotely academic.

The boys looked up as the girls yanked Adrian inside.

"What's this circus?" Asher asked, without looking up.

"Ask your buddy!" Natalie barked. "He was in the girls' toilets, peeking at us while we peed!"

The boys paused… then resumed their game as if nothing had been said.

Adrian's voice cracked. "Guys… I got sentenced to toilet duty. Help me, please."

Silence.....

"Guys, please…"

Derrick finally tilted his head. "Sorry… who are you again?"

"Yeah, never seen him before," Brian said immediately, not even looking up.

"Huh? Peeking on girls? Nah, never met this man in my life," Kira added smoothly, moving his piece.

Asher nodded gravely. "Stranger danger. Let's ignore him."

Adrian's eyes bulged. "You damn traitors!!!"

The girls smirked as the boys coolly went back to their game.

"You heard them, creep," Cammy sang. "You're on your own."

Natalie and Mirai began dragging him out again. If the bros were betraying him like this, then he wasn't about to go down alone.

"Wait, wait, WAIT!!" he shouted, scrambling. "It wasn't my idea! The boys told me to peep so I could take pictures for them!"

The girls froze mid-step. Then, slowly, all eyes turned to the shogi table.

Asher's hand hovered over his piece, stiff as stone.

"That little bastard…" Derrick hissed, his teeth grinding.

"Gods damn him—now Lorraine's gonna think I'm a creep!" Kira hissed.

"Why does his bullshitting sound so believable?!" Brian groaned.

Lorraine crossed her arms, glaring down at them. "Actually… it's not that hard to believe. You boys are always huddled together, gawking at underwear photos and whispering like cultists."

Anna pinched her nose. "Disgusting."

Brian threw up his hands. "It's lies! All lies!"

But it was too late. Like wildfire, the rest of the girls in the classroom piled on.

"Yeah, that whole group's sketchy. Remember when they stared at me for ten minutes straight, debating if my chest was a C or a D cup?" one irrelevant girl yelled.

"That was Four-Eyes!" Asher immediately pointed at Adrian.

Adrian adjusted his glasses and smirked. "Don't lie, bro. She said debating. I can't debate alone. We were all in it together!"

"You bastard!!" Derrick snarled, lunging at him.

But before he could, another girl stood. "Even him—he told me he wanted to bend me over like a mountain goat."

"…That does sound like something Derrick would say," Asher muttered.

And just like that, the girls' accusations snowballed, drowning the boys in a tsunami of past sins, rumors, and embellishments. Resistance was futile. Their honor was already executed.

Ten minutes later, the boys trudged into the toilets with buckets and mops, dragging their souls along the floor.

"What the hell, dude?!" Derrick snapped, grabbing Adrian by the collar. "Why'd you drag us down with you?!"

"Because bros before hoes!" Adrian snapped back. "But what did you do? You threw me under the bus without blinking!"

"Bro, you peeked!" Brian shot back.

"I didn't!"

"You did!"

"I didn't! …It's complicated, okay? I'll explain while we scrub."

And so, with grunts and curses, they got to work.

"Damn it, bro… girls' toilets smell worse than ours," Derrick gagged, tying his tie over his nose.

"When I was a kid, I thought pretty girls didn't even poop," Brian muttered sadly. "Guess they're the ones waging biological warfare in here."

"Yeah, yeah, we all thought that once," Asher sighed, scrubbing a stall like a monk polishing temple floors.

As they scrubbed, Adrian began telling them about what happened between him and Cammy, of course exaggerating every detail, turning himself into an alpha who had "handled" her, rather than the fool caught red-handed after beating his meat. By the time he finished, the toilets gleamed.

"So you really smashed, huh?!" Asher grinned, clapping him on the back. "That's my boy!"

"But to think she'd toss you under the bus after you made her cum like that—bro, she's psycho," Derrick muttered.

"Girls are mysteries, man. They act like they hate you, but it's just code you'll never crack," Brian added.

Asher nodded sagely. "I think she likes him."

The boys blinked. "Huh?"

"She's a tsundere," Asher said, as if unveiling divine truth. "Hard exterior, prideful, stubborn, and hides feelings by acting cruel, but deep down, she cares. This whole punishment thing? Just her way of showing affection."

"A tsun-what?"

"Sounds like a disease."

"That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard."

"Forget it." Asher waved them off with a chuckle."But trust me, bros. Our guy here found someone who actually gives a damn about him. Don't screw it up."

With that, they left Adrian behind in the empty bathroom.

He stared at his reflection in the sink, mop dripping beside him.

"…Cherish her, huh? Yeah, right… that idiot."

The dismissal bell rang. He threw the mop down, sighed, and shuffled out. His day was not over yet.

He still had to run home, cook dinner, then check in on the slime colony in the dimensional realm.

And deal with Rose and those midget succubus demons that would probably come back today to look for Asher.

He sighed so hard again it rattled his chest. His life was exhausting.
