Nothing happened overnight.
The next day.
Rest day.
Natsuki and Yukino had reached a state of perfection in surfing techniques, and continued training would not bring any improvement, so they simply rested today.
As a world-renowned resort, Hawaii has an incredible number of places to visit, simply too many to cover.
Of course, to summarize it is very simple, four words can encompass it:
Eat, drink, play, and have fun.
"Senpai, Senpai, let's go diving?"
Moeha's eyes sparkled, looking forward.
Natsuki complained:
"You've been shopping for so long this morning, aren't you tired?"
Moeha gave a thumbs up:
"Not at all!"
"Alright then." Natsuki could only agree, "Let's go now."
"Yay!"
"..."
The female coach and Natsuki and the others traveled together, transitioning from a coach to a guide. Seeing Natsuki and his group eating and drinking, with no one taking tomorrow's ultimate challenge to heart, her mood was exceptionally complex.
On the one hand, she hoped that Natsuki and Yukino would successfully pass the ultimate challenge, and she would also feel honored.
On the other hand, she felt it was too much of a game, achieving the ultimate challenge so easily. Where would the faces of other surfing enthusiasts be placed?
"I know a great diving spot. Follow me..."
With a complex mood, the female coach officially took on the role of a tour guide.
Half an hour later.
The group arrived at the diving island, changed into their gear, and began diving.
It must be said that the seawater was exceptionally clear and transparent. Even when diving several meters deep, the underwater scenery was still clearly visible. And unlike the desolate island in the nightmare, the underwater ecological landscape here was exceptionally rich, with various colorful tropical clownfish, coral reefs, jellyfish, and so on, truly splendid and magnificent.
Among everyone, the happiest was naturally Moeha.
Natsuki initially thought it was pretty good, but after playing for a while, he lost interest and went back to the shore to play on his phone.
Splash.
A Yukino surfaced, taking off her diving equipment, apparently also planning to rest.
Natsuki's eyes lit up as he said:
"Yukino, I want to redeem my lap pillow ticket."
Yukino turned to look at him, and said coldly:
"I'm busy."
Natsuki argued:
"You're free now, aren't you?"
"..."
After two seconds of silence, Yukino put her diving equipment back on, then plopped into the water and said:
"I'm not free now."
Natsuki: "..."
You really went to great lengths to avoid redeeming the lap pillow ticket!
In the blink of an eye, it was evening, and Chika and the others finally surfaced from the sea, satisfied, and boarded the bus to prepare for the return trip.
"Achoo—"
Just as Moeha sat down on the bus, she suddenly covered her nose with both hands and sneezed twice.
Chika turned her head to look over:
"Do you have a cold?"
"I don't have a cold." Moeha rubbed her nose, "It's just that my nose is suddenly a little itchy, don't worry, Sister."
"..."
As a result, Chika's crow's mouth talent was activated again.
During dinner in the evening, Moeha showed signs of loss of appetite, and the amount of dinner was sharply reduced by half. She couldn't eat as much as usual. After eating, she wasn't as energetic as usual, but was obviously a little tired.
When they returned to the villa estate in the evening, Natsuki had just finished taking a shower when he received a call from Chika:
"President, Moeha has a high fever!"
Natsuki raised an eyebrow: "Wait for me to come over."
Putting away his phone, Natsuki pushed open the door and came to the hallway, and soon walked to the door of Chika's room.
The door opened quickly.
Chika was wearing a white bathrobe, with strands of hair dripping with water, obviously not even dried, and said anxiously:
"President, come in quickly. I was just taking a bath with Moeha, and I ran almost all the way. I was about to get up and blow dry my hair, but I found Moeha dizzy and unable to stand up."
Natsuki asked:
"Where is Moeha?"
"On the bed." Chika said, "I just dried Moeha's body, then carried her to the bed and called the president."
Natsuki walked to the bedside and saw that the junior high student, who was full of energy and vitality during the day, was like a discarded kitten at the moment, her body curled up together, her face flushed, her breathing rapid, and her consciousness was already a little blurred.
"Senpai… I feel so uncomfortable…"
Seeing Natsuki appear, Moeha cried out pitifully, then closed her eyes again.
Natsuki reached out and touched Moeha's forehead, and then said:
"Her forehead is very hot, she does have a fever. It may be because she has been exercising too much these past few days, and Moeha ate too many cold drinks during the day, which caused her to suddenly have a high fever… I'll go find the butler and ask if there is any cold medicine."
Chika bit her lip, her face full of self-blame:
"I knew I shouldn't have let Moeha eat so many cold drinks."
"Don't worry, colds and fevers are super common." Natsuki looked at Chika, "I'll go find the butler first. If the fever doesn't go down after taking the medicine, we'll go to the Hospital directly."
After comforting Chika, Natsuki pushed the door open and went out, found the estate butler, and explained the situation.
Although it was eleven o'clock, the butler was super conscientious and responsible. After listening to Natsuki's explanation, he immediately drove out to buy medicine.
Natsuki took two bottles of rubbing alcohol and returned to Chika's room.
"The butler has gone to buy cold medicine and will be back in about half an hour." Natsuki raised the rubbing alcohol in his hand, "Let's wipe Moeha's body with alcohol first."
"Thank you for your trouble, President." Chika breathed a sigh of relief, "President, please help Moeha wipe her feet, and I'll wipe the other places."
"Okay."
Natsuki nodded in agreement.
Wiping the body with alcohol is mainly to accelerate the body's heat dissipation, so as to achieve the effect of cooling down, so it is not necessary to wipe the whole body up and down. Generally speaking, wiping the armpits, palms, and soles of the feet is enough.
The armpits, neck, and other parts are naturally handed over to Chika.
Natsuki sat on the edge of the bed, held Moeha's ankle, then dipped a cotton swab in alcohol and began to wipe the soles of her feet.
I have to say, the middle school girlfriend's feet are quite beautiful, with snow-white skin, and you can even see faint blue blood vessels under the light. The toes are like newly peeled lotus seeds, and the toes are also painted with pink nail polish, which looks quite round and doll-like.
"Hmm…"
As Natsuki gently wiped the center of her foot with a cotton swab, Moeha's five toes suddenly curled up, and at the same time, she couldn't help but hum softly, and her body distorted suddenly, as if trying to get rid of Natsuki's control.
"Eh eh eh?"
Chika suddenly cried out in a low voice.
Natsuki subconsciously looked up and saw that the moonlight was really round tonight.
When Moeha was taking a bath in the bathtub, she almost fainted. Later, Chika carried her back to the bed, and naturally she only had a white bath towel on her body. There were no underwear or other items at all.
At this moment, as Moeha distorted her body, the already loose bath towel naturally spread out directly.
Chika pulled Moeha's bath towel back, then puffed up her pink cheeks, turned her head and looked over and said:
"President, did you see it?"
Natsuki closed his eyes and said:
"I didn't see anything."
"Hmph~" Chika snorted softly, "Close your eyes properly. Don't open them unless I tell you to."
"Yes yes."
Natsuki looked calm and continued to wipe Moeha's body, indeed not intending to open his eyes.
A mere middle school student, there is no need to peek at all.
Under the two people's uninterrupted wiping, Moeha's body temperature began to drop, and her breathing gradually stabilized.
After an unknown amount of time, a knock on the door rang.
"President, go open the door." Chika quickly pulled Moeha's bath towel up, "It should be the butler who is back."
"Okay."
Natsuki got up and went to open the door. As expected, it was indeed the estate butler, who had successfully obtained two boxes of cold medicine and a thermometer.
"The medicine has been obtained." Natsuki closed the door and turned his head and said, "Go pour a glass of water and feed Moeha the medicine."
"Yes, yes."
Chika quickly nodded, ran over and took a bottle of mineral water, and then fed Moeha the cold medicine according to the dosage.
"Here." Natsuki handed over the thermometer and said softly, "Let's wait a while. If Moeha's temperature goes down, there won't be any problems."
After feeding Moeha the medicine, Natsuki didn't leave. Before the temperature completely dropped, secretary Chika would definitely be worried, so naturally he had to stay by her side.
Fortunately, the cold medicine worked very well. About twenty minutes after taking it, Moeha's body temperature successfully dropped, the blush on her face disappeared, and her fair complexion returned, and her breathing completely stabilized.
"Finally, she's okay." Chika breathed a long sigh of relief, clenched her fists with both hands, got up and stretched, "I must not let Moeha eat so many cold drinks again… President, what time is it now?"
Natsuki looked at his phone and then said:
"It's already half past eleven."
"Eh eh eh, it's so late?" Chika was startled, "President, hurry back to rest, you still have to participate in the challenge tomorrow, I'll go take a shower."
Natsuki looked at Chika and said:
"I want to go too."
"Eh?"
Chika immediately covered her chest.
Natsuki said sternly:
"I've been training hard these past few days, and the muscles all over my body are stiff. I urgently need a back rub to relax."
Liar!
A back rub doesn't have a relaxing effect at all!
Chika wanted to refuse, but then she remembered that Natsuki had been running around just now, helping hard, and couldn't help but hesitate.
After hesitating for a while, Chika blushed and said softly:
"Okay then, just a back rub, nothing else is allowed."
Natsuki raised his right hand and said:
"I promise."
"..."
Natsuki followed behind Chika, walked into the bathroom, and started taking a shower.
In fact, this wasn't the first time the two of them had helped each other with back rubs, but after all, they weren't an old married couple, and they would still be shy when they should be.
Natsuki was fine, his skin was extremely thick, and he could face it calmly, but secretary Chika was a girl after all, and under the effect of a girl's shyness, it was inevitable that she couldn't let go.
"T-that's enough…" Chika's pretty face was flushed red, she covered her chest with both hands, and said softly, "I've helped you wipe it clean, President, please go back quickly."
"I still want to take a bath for a while." Natsuki said seriously, "A shower without a bath is not a complete shower."
Chika puffed up her pink cheeks and said:
"Then I'll go out first, President, take a bath yourself."
"It's been a long time since we took a bath together last time." Natsuki reached out and grabbed Chika, "I want to take a bath with Chika-sama."
Chika turned her pretty face away and said:
"I don't want to."
"..."
Secretary Chika said she didn't want to, but her body didn't refuse at all. She was pulled over by Natsuki and took a bath together.
However, the two people just sat opposite each other. Fortunately, the bathtub was very large and wouldn't be crowded.
Natsuki suddenly looked serious and said:
"There's something in the bathtub."
"Eh?" Chika blinked her eyes, "What is it?"
"I don't know…" Natsuki reached out and groped, and soon picked up a pebble the size of a coin and said speechlessly, "Why are there pebbles in the bathtub?"
"I remember, it's Moeha." Chika slapped her forehead, "When we were diving in the afternoon, Moeha saw many super beautiful pebbles, so she picked them up. When she was taking a bath, she took them out of her pocket and prepared to wash them, but then Moeha had a high fever and fainted, so she forgot about them."
As Chika spoke, she groped in the bathtub, and soon found one pebble after another.
These pebbles were of different sizes, but the colors were gorgeous and they were indeed quite beautiful.
"There should be more…"
Chika groped forward with great interest, enjoying some of the joy of treasure hunting, and unknowingly approached Natsuki.
By the time she reacted, she had already been pulled into Natsuki's arms.
"Chika-chan, may I ask if I can kiss you?"
Natsuki hugged Chika and whispered in her ear.
Chika's pretty face was flushed red, and she shook her head and said:
"No."
Natsuki said:
"Then how can I kiss you? Should I go 'woof'?"
The corners of Chika's lips raised slightly, and she quickly tightened her pretty face, raised her chin and said:
"That won't get you a kiss either… um!"
Natsuki lowered his head and quickly blocked secretary Chika's soft and sweet lips.
"President, you're going too far!"
Chika reached out and pinched Natsuki's waist, then closed her eyes shyly. At first, she was just passively being taken advantage of, but after a while, she couldn't help but stretch out her arms and hug Natsuki's neck, and began to respond.
After a while.
Natsuki was surprised to find that Chika actually didn't refuse. You must know that in the past, at most, they would kiss and hug, and she wouldn't let him cross the bottom line. Today, she actually chose to play ostrich.
After discovering this, Natsuki immediately became excited.
As a result, when it was almost the final moment, Chika began to feel scared and said nervously:
"President, wait… Moeha is still outside…"
Natsuki whispered, "The cold medicine has a sedative in it, so you don't have to worry about waking Moeha."
Chika's breathing was rapid, her pretty face flushed crimson, her eyes misty, and she whispered, "But you still have to do the extreme challenge tomorrow… Let's wait until next time…"
Don't joke around, a 'next time' without a specific date means there will never be a next time!
The arrow was on the string, and it had to be shot.
"Don't say tomorrow is just an extreme challenge, even if tomorrow is the end of the world, I can't stop," Natsuki took a deep breath, "Besides, it's only a few minutes, it'll be over soon."
"Liar…!"
Chika remembered what happened when she possessed Sayu the day before yesterday, biting her lower lip with her teeth, it was not a matter of a few minutes!
Natsuki retorted, "I was talking about surfing, what did you think it was?"
"Hmm… Mmm—!"
Before she could speak, a muffled groan escaped Chika's lips.
In short.
Nothing happened that night.
The next day.
"Good morning, Big Sister!"
Moeha sat up, clenched her fists, stretched, and her voice returned to its usual lively vigor.
"Good… morning…"
Chika responded groggily, yawning as she prepared to get out of bed, but her legs gave out, and she almost couldn't stand steady, finally having to lean against the wall to support herself.
"Eh, eh, Big Sister, what's wrong?"
Moeha quickly asked with concern.
"N-nothing…" Chika's pretty face was flushed crimson as she turned to look out the window, stammering, "My legs are numb, that's why I couldn't stand steady."
Moeha didn't suspect anything, and while changing her clothes, she started chattering away, her voice clear and melodious like a singing oriole:
"I felt so uncomfortable last night, I think I was sick?"
Chika bit her lip and straightened her body, then retorted upon hearing that:
"Take out the 'I think,' you fainted while taking a bath last night. You must have had too many cold drinks yesterday to get a fever."
"Big Sister, I was wrong." Moeha admitted her mistake with a smile, "Speaking of which, I think I heard Natsuki-kun's voice last night. Did Big Sister call Natsuki to come help?"
Chika's pretty face turned even redder, and she tried to speak in a casual tone:
"Y-yes, the President did come over… He left after your fever went down."
This was a lie.
The truth was that Natsuki only left this morning.
"Then it must have been very late, right?" Moeha clenched her fists, "We must thank Natsuki-kun very well."
Chika: "…"
Taking advantage of someone, I don't need to thank him!
Chika regretted it.
It was such an important matter, yet it happened in the bathroom, and her younger sister was right outside the door. No matter how she thought about it, it was too embarrassing!
If it happened again, she would definitely refuse decisively and not let the President succeed!
Unfortunately, there was no if.
"Eh, Big Sister, you're not right." Moeha finally noticed something strange about Chika, tilting her head in confusion and asking, "Why is your voice a little hoarse?"
"Cough, cough…" Chika quickly raised her hand, covering her mouth and coughing twice, stammering, "I might have a bit of a cold too… Let's go to the restaurant for breakfast."
This was a lie.
The truth was, it wasn't a cold; her hoarse voice had another cause.
"…"
Arriving at the restaurant.
"Good morning, Natsuki-kun!"
Upon seeing Natsuki in the restaurant, Moeha immediately shouted happily.
"Good morning." Natsuki smiled in response, then looked at secretary Chika beside Moeha, saying calmly, "Chika, good morning."
"Good… morning."
Chika responded casually.
She thought she could act as if nothing happened and not show any flaws, but as soon as her eyes met Natsuki's, a blush involuntarily spread across her pretty face.
"Come eat." Natsuki pulled out a chair, "Eat more in the morning to replenish your energy."
Replenishing nutrition and replenishing energy were almost the same, but only Chika could hear the subtle difference.
Unable to help but glare at Natsuki, secretary Chika sat down in the chair and began to eat breakfast.
To be honest, she was indeed much hungrier than usual after waking up…
After breakfast.
Natsuki and Yukino and the others walked out of the villa estate together, and a sea breeze immediately howled towards them.
Looking out at the sea from afar, the azure sea had turned inky black, with turbulent waves, a truly magnificent sight.
Secretary Chika was a little worried. She reached out and tugged on Natsuki's sleeve, whispering, "The waves are too big. How about tomorrow instead?"
"Warm up the milk," Natsuki said confidently, "Yukinoshita and I will be back soon. If I say fifteen minutes, it's fifteen minutes."
Chika: "…"
