I left Yuuka in Kaori’s care, and we took off our clothes in the changing room and went inside.
The inside was very spacious, with various hot springs.
The wall between the men’s and women’s baths was open at the top, and from the other side, I could hear the voices of the girls from our class.
We didn’t care and looked around inside.
“Wow, there are so many different baths.” (Yuuto)
I got excited and started to enjoy myself.
We quickly washed our bodies and soaked in the hot springs.
“Ah—this feels like I’m alive again.” (Yuuto)
“Hey, Yuuto, don’t say stuff like an old man.” (Kouhei)
Kouhei said as he sat next to me.
“There’s hardly ever a time when we can relax like this in a hot spring.” (Yuuto)
I felt completely relaxed from the bottom of my heart.
“That family bath at Yuuka-chan’s place was amazing. I wanted to go in sometimes, but never could.” (Kouhei)
I objected to Kouhei’s comment.
“That’s a lie. You were laughing while watching from behind the curtain.” (Yuuto)
I recalled Kouhei smirking while looking at me.
“Sorry, it was really interesting, so I couldn’t help but watch.” (Kouhei)
He admitted it, huh. I swore that next time he got cornered by Kaori, I absolutely wouldn’t help him.
After enjoying the hot spring for a while,
“Yuuto—are you still there?” (Kaori)
I heard a voice calling me.
It was Kaori.
“I’m still here, but what’s up?” (Yuuto)
I shouted toward the women’s bath.
“Yuuka-chan wants to use the shampoo and body soap you’re holding—can you toss them over here?” (Kaori)
Apparently, she didn’t want to use the ones provided by the hotel.
“Got it. Are there any people around?” (Yuuto)
I asked just in case, because it would be bad if I threw it and hit someone.
“It’s okay, it’s just me and Yuuka-chan here, so go ahead and throw it.” (Kaori)
After Kaori confirmed no one else was nearby, I tossed the shampoo and body soap over.
“Nice catch, Yuuka-chan!” (Kaori)
It seemed to have gone well.
“Yuuka-chan said she’ll return them once she gets out of the bath.” (Kaori)
I agreed to the message from Kaori.
“As usual… Normally, I’d think girls wouldn’t want to use the same shampoo as the guys.” (Kouhei)
Kouhei muttered that cheerfully.
“Well, if she wants to use it, there’s no helping it.” (Yuuto)
“Alright, next, let’s hit the sauna and work up a sweat.” (Kouhei)
“Then I’ll go too. Let’s see who comes out first—it’s a competition.” (Yuuto)
I accepted Kouhei’s challenge.
In the end, I lost and had to buy him a milk coffee.
