"I want to go out and play too," Yayoi's voice was a bit depressed.
She inexplicably felt like she was being bullied in an American style.
Hayato comforted her with the most understanding words:
"Next time, for sure."
"You said it."
"I said it."
With the "Nonsense" skill buff, Hayato finally managed to appease Yayoi.
"Hmph, then I'm going to sleep. I'll teach you a lesson in my dreams," Yayoi said.
She wrinkled her nose in the video, then waved: "Good night."
"Bye bye," Hayato said.
He stretched, and saw that it was already past ten o'clock.
It was indeed not early.
↑ Did you think Hayato would say that? It's summer vacation, how many people go to bed this early?
Sleep? No way, let's party!
Actually, Hayato was still in good spirits, but if he wanted to sleep, that was fine too.
After all, he got up very early every day, and he was also helping Nanakio with farming, specifically the watering task.
Anyone who has ever farmed online knows that the most physically demanding and tedious task is "watering." Even with his abundant water supply, it was still a bit unbearable.
However, Hachisuka Hidemichi had said earlier that there was still grilled fish to eat, so even if he slept now, he would probably be woken up later.
He lay diagonally on the tatami and scratched his thigh with his hand.
Akane went to bathe with them…
There was nothing wrong with this in itself, but Hayato always felt like he had forgotten something very important.
What was it?
"Ah." A light bulb went off in Hayato's head. This was bad.
...
Hot spring, steaming mist.
Several young girls, their delicate bodies wrapped in white bath towels… plus a woman who looked like a young girl but was actually 40 years old, lightly stepped on the stone tiles and entered the women's bathhouse.
Miyajima Sakura walked in front. Although her steps were reserved, she was fearless.
When her fair feet touched the rippling hot water, she placed the bath towel wrapped around her body on the shore. Then she bent down, allowing the hot water to submerge her delicate body, as clear as moonlight.
"Mmm, so comfortable…" Miyajima Sakura's voice was filled with happiness. "A day of travel, even if it was all by car, was still tiring…"
The mist was hazy, and although Nanao Akane couldn't see very clearly, she still caught a quick glimpse.
Senior Miyajima's figure was indeed as perfect as her face and personality. Years of Kendo physical training had given her body a healthy beauty. Her waist was slender enough to be grasped with one hand, but the fleshiness of her thighs was perfectly ample.
After tying up her hair, water droplets flowed down her glowing white neck.
If she were a vampire, she would surely be proud for life to bite such a neck.
Following closely behind was Kobayashi Ayaka… Although she wasn't underestimating Ayaka-senpai, in terms of figure, she was indeed no match for Senior Miyajima… But she also had her own advantages; the proportion of her two fair legs was even better than Miyajima Sakura's.
When her toes touched the ripples in the spring, it was like a royal visit.
These legs, one could play with them for a whole year.
Nanao Akane thought to herself.
…And, Ayaka-senpai's body fat percentage seemed to be lower than Miyajima Sakura's. Without even deliberately sucking in her breath, one could faintly see the shape of her abdominal muscles.
Not good.
Nanao Akane subconsciously touched her abdomen, which was still wrapped in a bath towel at the moment.
There was a loose, flabby feeling.
In fact, she had noticed that she had gained a bit of weight since before the end of the semester, around May, and had always thought about losing weight, but after quitting the club, she had almost given up all extracurricular physical activities. The weight loss plan she had always thought about had been put off day after day, with no end in sight…
Now, the flat abdomens of the two of them… especially Ayaka-senpai's striking mermaid line, put a considerable amount of pressure on her.
Oh, heaven.
Nanao Akane thought indignantly, if this humble believer has done something wrong, then please punish me with the law, and don't let me be embarrassed in a place like this…
"Hmm? What's wrong, Nanao Akane?"
Kobayashi Ayaka leaned against the edge of the hot spring, stretched gracefully, and placed a towel on her smooth forehead, which had her bangs pushed back. Then she noticed Nanao Akane: "Come in and soak, it's very comfortable."
"…" Nanao Akane bit her lip with shame.
If only she had known, if only she had started exercising earlier…
Just as boys like to compare sizes in the bathhouse, when girls are exposed to each other, they also pay particular attention to certain areas.
"…"
Kobayashi Ayaka first looked down at her own chest, then carefully glanced at Nanao Akane's tightly wrapped chest.
Although Kobayashi Ayaka's size was normal, even somewhat full, among these few people, it seemed a bit… mini.
"Damn it, I really don't know what these kids are eating to grow up like this."
Although she was only one year older than Nanao Akane, Kobayashi Ayaka still spoke in an old-fashioned tone.
She immediately shrunk her entire body into the water and began to blow bubbles.
However, another one was even more important.
There were also experts among them.
She glared with hatred at Miyajima Tsubaki, who was about to enter the water.
"Will it develop again after reaching this age?"
Kobayashi Ayaka muttered to herself while blowing bubbles.
Miyajima Sakura paid no attention to what she considered "boring" matters. She glanced at her mother:
"Mom, have you lost weight?"
Miyajima Tsubaki waded through the hot water. Upon hearing this, she joyfully covered her cheeks with her hands: "Oh, was I found out? Actually, I've been secretly exercising while you're at school~~~"
Ever since her last confrontation with Yayoi, Miyajima Tsubaki had been quite concerned about her figure.
She had tried Sakura's uniform before, and frankly, she looked a bit bloated. Now, while it couldn't be called a perfect fit, it was at least much easier to wear than before; at least the buttons wouldn't pop off.
Nanao Akane bit her lip even harder.
Heaven, please just kill me. Don't let me hear words that make me regret even more.
"Hmm? Nanao-san? What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Madam Tsubaki quickly asked. She was the only adult here and instinctively felt the need to look after the children.
"...No." Nanao Akane shook her head. If she were to run away now, putting everything else aside, Kobayashi-chan would definitely laugh at her for a long time...
Alright, if that's the case!
Nanao Akane! Go for it!
She tugged at her bath towel! With a swish, her delicate body was finally exposed in the misty steam.
Along with the rolls of flesh on her lower belly.
Sorry, Heaven! Next time, I'll definitely exercise properly!
"Good, as long as you're alright." Madam Tsubaki smiled: "If you feel unwell, you must say so."
"Nanao-san, come over here, come over here." Miyajima Sakura cordially invited.
"Plop plop..." Kobayashi Ayaka continued to blow bubbles.
Not a single person mentioned her weight, which touched Nanao Akane.
Damn it! You guys, I've decided to be friends with you!
"Mm."
With a huge weight lifted from her chest, Nanao Akane smiled sweetly, then turned to pour a basin of water over herself before turning to enter the hot spring pool.
Immediately after,
She noticed that everyone was looking at her with a strange gaze.
Miyajima Sakura's eyes instantly became wary.
Kobayashi Ayaka stretched her neck out of the water.
Madam Tsubaki reached out a hand, but then hesitated to speak.
"?"
Nanao Akane pursed her lips and tilted her head in confusion.
The next moment, she seemed to remember something.
She unconsciously raised her arm.
Around the area between her ribs and armpit... Oh no! I forgot about that!
Just like the band-aid Hayato had on his neck before, this area on her also bore many "battle scars."
Nanao Akane's face turned as red as blood. Honestly, it was normal for boyfriends and girlfriends to do such things, but exposing them in front of others was somewhat embarrassing.
"Nanao-san, you—" Miyajima Sakura began.
Don't ask! Don't ask!
But Miyajima Sakura obviously didn't understand Nanao Akane's unspoken plea. She continued to speak on her own:
"Bruises? Are you hurt?"
Huh?
Nanao Akane looked at Senior Miyajima. Her eyes were so pure, and her concern was overflowing. She choked on her saliva: "...Uh, uh, I accidentally fell."
If it were anyone else, they would definitely retort, "How the hell can you fall like that in your sleep? Try falling again!" But Miyajima Sakura took it seriously.
"You must be careful from now on."
"Mm, mm..." Nanao Akane nodded.
Under Miyajima Sakura's gentle gaze, she finally tiptoed into the bath.
However, shortly after she entered the bath, Kobayashi Ayaka waded over.
She wasn't as sweet as her best friend; she whispered:
"That Mr. Hayashi did it, didn't he!"
"...Oh, this." Nanao Akane really wished she were mute right now so she wouldn't have to answer such an embarrassing question.
"That scoundrel is too much..." Kobayashi Ayaka said indignantly: "I'll teach him a lesson later! How could he hit someone like that?"
"No, no need!" Nanao Akane quickly said. She didn't want Kobayashi-chan to suffer unwarranted disaster because of this. Her cheeks were even redder, as if blood was about to drip, and her voice was like a mosquito's buzz: "That, that was, I asked for it myself."
Hayato was the one who did it, but Nanao Akane was indeed the one who made the request.
"Huh?"
Kobayashi Ayaka was dumbfounded.
She understood more than Miyajima Sakura, but only a little.
So she didn't quite understand too many things about intimacy.
"Alright, alright, Ayaka, don't ask anymore."
Madam Tsubaki was much more mature. She shooed away Kobayashi Ayaka, who was about to turn into a walking "Why?" machine.
At her age, she knew far, far more than these youngsters.
Madam Tsubaki's heart was in a chaotic mess.
Hayato...
That young man... Young people nowadays really have a lot of spirit.
She clamped her thighs together, her mind once again recalling the conversation she had with Yayoi at the hospital not long ago.
Immediately after, her heart began to pound wildly.
Nanao Akane also sat silently in the hot spring, not saying a word.
Miyajima Sakura waded over and whispered, "Does it hurt?"
"..." Nanao Akane really didn't know how to answer this question, so she could only give an awkward yet polite smile.
