Mixed Hot Springs

"...It is over?"

Sekijou raised his hand to cover his lips, only to feel dizzy and slightly unable to regain his senses.

Naoki said: "Or do it again?"

"Never!"

Sekijou quickly refused.

Once is enough, Furuhashi and Ogata are still outside, how is it possible to do it again!

"Go quickly." Sekijou blushed, "I'll wash my face."

"I'm going out."

Naoki nodded, turned and walked out of the bathroom.

"Phew~..."

Sekijou sighed lightly and looked in the mirror.

She glanced at herself with blushing cheeks in the mirror, and quickly looked away.

Not scientific.

Once upon a time, his goal was to help Ogata get out of the demon's claws, but when did she start falling into the demon's claws?

"Asakawa-san, how's Hanako-chan?"

Furuhashi asked hurriedly.

The two girls waited nervously in the room.

"Fortunately, the seal has been successfully sealed." Naoki nodded, gesturing for the two of them to stay calm, "It's time to get changed."

"Why isn't Sawako coming out?" Ogata asked.

Naoki said casually: "She gave herself a local physical cooling."

"Eh?"

"She's washing his face."

"Cheeky." Furuhashi said in annoyance.

Furuhashi remembered when Naoki first bullied her, she was still blushing, but now he is bullying people, and his face won't even blush!

As for bullying Sekijou… Furuhashi wasn't surprised at all.

Even though Sekijou was reluctant to admit it, in Sekijou's heart, Naoki was probably second only to Ricchan's important position.

After saying a few words, Sekijou quickly walked out of the bathroom. The cold water that washed over her face was ineffective, and there was a blush on the girl's face.

"Ahem, I'm out."

Sekijou covered his mouth and coughed twice, suddenly feeling very guilty.

Fortunately, Furuhashi and Ogata paid her no heed, and now business matters.

"Sawako, let's go back and get changed." Furuhashi said quickly, "Wait to come out."

"Okay." Sekijou breathed a sigh of relief, "Let's go."

Before leaving, Furuhashi looked at Naoki: "Asakawa-san, quickly change your clothes too."

"The hot spring hasn't finished bathing yet." Naoki discussed, "Why don't we go after the bath?"

Furuhashi's face condensed: "Go back and soak again, quickly change clothes!"

Ogata said: "When we come back, we will accompany you to soak in the hot springs."

Naoki's expression became serious: "Please confirm what you say."

Sekijou: "😐"

The first kiss was actually left to Naoki, she was so unwilling!

The three girls wasted no time and quickly returned to their room.

Naoki doesn't need to go out, this is his room, so take a moment to get dressed and wait.

...

A moment later.

There's a knock on the door.

Naoki opened the door, and the three of them were already dressed.

"Asakawa-san, can we go?" Furuhashi whispered.

Naoki nodded: "Let's go."

...

The four left the hot spring hotel together.

Before it knew it, it was already 9pm, and it was still snowing.

When they were eating sukiyaki earlier, there were quite a number of people on the street, but now that the night was getting darker, there were barely any pedestrians on the street.

A cold gust of wind blew, and all three girls shivered together.

Furuhashi: "It's so cold."

Ogata analyzed: "Because we just finished soaking in the hot springs, the temperature difference between the body surfaces is too large, and the senses will become colder."

Sekijou nodded in agreement: "Rizu-san is right."

Naoki sighed lightly, and white water vapor quickly rushed out under the light: "It won't be cold when you run."

Furuhashi said speechlessly: "The snow is so slippery that you will fall when you run."

Naoki pondered: "At this time, the husky must be taken out to unlock the IQ."

"It's useless, I can't finish it." Sekijou complained, "Huskies have very low IQs, and it has nothing to do with snow."

Naoki's eyes suddenly narrowed and fell on Furuhashi: "Where is your scarf?"

Furuhashi turned his face away, "I was a little thirsty just now, and I choked on the water when I drank it, and accidentally spilled it on the scarf, so I didn't take it out."

Naoki took off the scarf around his neck and handed it to the literary girl: "Here take it."

"No need." Furuhashi shook his head and said, "After walking for a while, my body will warm up."

Naoki didn't talk nonsense, and directly put a scarf around Furuhashi: "Don't you know what your physical fitness is?"

Furuhashi doesn't need a scarf on a snowy day, and she will definitely catch a cold when she returns from the wind and cold!

Furuhashi pressed the scarf with his hand, puffed out his face slightly: "What's wrong with my physical fitness?"

"You can't run a thousand meters, and your body is weak."

Sekijou looked at Ogata a bit worriedly, and she couldn't help but sigh in relief when she saw her nonchalant expression and her not looking jealous at all.

Naoki can not only interact with Furuhashi and Ogata at the same time, but also make everyone get along well. How did he do it!

Sekijou couldn't help but think about it.

"If there's one more... Aaaaa! Quick stop! Don't mind the mess!"

The four of them walked down the street to Mrs. Kuwahara's house talking.

The heavy snow had fallen to the ground in a thick layer, and it was very soft to step on.

10 minutes later, the four of them walked outside Mrs. Kuwahara's house.

"I'll ring the doorbell."

Furuhashi took half a step forward, raised his hand and pressed the doorbell.

A moment later.

Mrs. Kuwahara opened the door, and she could see that the woman's eyes were red and swollen: "It's you guys, what's wrong?"

"Come visit, sorry to bother you." Furuhashi bowed, then cut in to chase, "Do you believe in the existence of ghosts?"

On the way here, the four had discussed that rather than letting Hanako speak through Sekijou's body, it was better to let Mrs. Kuwahara see ghosts in person.

Mrs. Kuwahara heard the words and held Furuhashi's right hand tightly, her voice trembled slightly: "Have you seen Hanako?"

Furuhashi said softly, "We came to Kamakura this time for Hanako-chan."

"Sure enough," said Mrs. Kuwahara, tears welling up in her eyes again, "I guessed it, the graffiti was clearly painted in the past few days… Please come in."

"Excuse me."

Naoki was the last to enter the entrance.

The conversation was left to Furuhashi, and Naoki sat on the sofa and drank tea in silence.

Without hiding anything, Furuhashi tells the story of his meeting with Hanako. Upon hearing that despite her being a ghost, her daughter was still waiting for her to come home at the rented house, Mrs. Kuwahara burst into tears again.

"Asakawa-san." Furuhashi bit her lower lip, her eyes slightly red, "Come here."

"Um."

Naoki put down the teacup and walked towards Mrs. Kuwahara.

Mrs. Kuwahara raised her head and waited nervously with her eyes closed. It just kissed her forehead, it was very easy to look at her daughter without hesitation.

As for whether she would be fooled... the three girls in front of her were all so cute, that was definitely more impossible.

Buff added quickly.

"It's time to open your eyes." Furuhashi said softly.

Mrs. Kuwahara opened her eyes and saw the girl in front of her, and started crying again.

...

10 minutes later.

The four of them said their goodbyes and left.

"One never knows when they will never see each other again after accidentally saying goodbye."

In silence, Ogata suddenly spoke.

The three of them were immediately shocked. Ogata, who doesn't understand people's hearts, can't even read the real atmosphere, can say such words, the sun rises from the west!

Naoki was surprised: "Are you really Ogata?"

"Of course it's me." Ogata was a little displeased, "Even if it's me, there will be times when I feel it."

"That's right." Sekijou supported Ogata unconditionally, "Rizu-san has grown up."

Furuhashi was very relieved: "Ricchan has indeed grown up."

Hanako finally meets her mother. Despite being three years late, it was a happy ending. After a short loss, the girls quickly cheered up.

...

After walking into the hotel door, a strange scent immediately wafted into the air.

When it comes to walking on a cold winter's night, the most tempting food is not oden, but stone-roasted sweet potatoes.

"Buy stone baked sweet potatoes to come back."

Naoki wasn't short on money right now, so he went straight to buying a big bag of roasted sweet potatoes, and everyone got a share.

"I'll buy fried sugar chestnuts." Furuhashi quickly made a decision.

Sekijou said "Would you like to buy some milk tea?"

"Forget the milk tea." Furuhashi shook his head and said, "The sugar content is so high, people will definitely gain weight after drinking it."

Ogata raised his hand and said, "Where are the udon noodles?"

A drop of cold sweat fell on Furuhashi's forehead: "Don't eat udon noodles too late, we can eat them tomorrow."

Ogata eats udon noodles every day at home, but she still doesn't eat enough. She is indeed the daughter of a noodle restaurant family!

...

Shopping done.

The four of them walked to the hot spring hotel with roasted sweet potatoes and chestnuts in their hands.

Arriving at the door of his room, Naoki had just opened the door when he heard the voice: "Asakawa-san, you're back already?"

The girl who spoke was Yotsuba.

"Asakawa-kun, welcome back~" Ichika smiled and waved her hand.

"I'm back."

Naoki enters the room and is shocked.

The room was completely filled, and all the girls were gathered together, not a single one was missing.

"Stupid Nii-chan, where did you go all of a sudden, why are you back now?" Rin was worried "You know how worried I was."

There are so many people, it's not your turn to worry!

Naoki raised the paper bag in his hand: "I'm going shopping."

"This smell…" Rin sniffed her nose, and her eyes suddenly lit up, "This is stone-roasted sweet potato! I can often kiss her on the way home. It's very sweet, but I don't have the pocket money to buy it."

It's not that you don't have pocket money, but because you're a spendthrift, that's why you can't even afford roasted sweet potatoes!

"This." Naoki handed the stone-baked sweet potato to Yuika.

Sayuki proposed herself: "Naoki-kun, let me help with the distribution?"

"No need." Yuika0 suddenly showed a wary expression, "It is more appropriate for Yuika to help."

...

For a moment, the air was filled with the aroma of roasted sweet potatoes and chestnuts.

After eating baked sweet potato, it was already 10 pm and they returned to their room.

Naoki finished brushing his teeth, took off his clothes, and prepared to continue soaking in the hot spring.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

Naoki walked over, and there was Ogata standing outside the door.

"Ogate?" Naoki asked, "What are you doing here?"

Ogata said as usual: "When we went before, I said that we would go to the hot springs together when we came back, so I came here."

Naoki looked out: "Where is Furuhashi?"

"Fumino said she didn't agree to take a hot bath together, so she didn't come."

"In."

Take a shower before soaking in the hot springs.

Ogata was still taking a shower when there was another knock on the door.

Naoki opened the door, and Sekijou was standing outside the door.

"Where's Rizu-san?" Sekijou lowered his voice, "Is she here?"

"She's in the shower." Naoki said honestly "Wait and get ready to soak in the hot spring together."

Sekijou enters: "It was clearly a joke, but Ogata really took it seriously."

"Who said it was a joke?" Naoki said firmly, "That's definitely a good example of keeping one's word."

Sekijou was angry: "Promises like this don't need to be kept!"

"What are you doing here?" Naoki asked, "Do you want to take a hot bath together?"

"I don't want to." Sekijou's face turned red, "Only Rizu-san wants to take a hot bath with you. I'm only here to stare at you, don't try to bully Rizu-san."

The voice fell, and the knock on the door sounded again.

Sekijou was surprised and hastily hid behind the bed.

"Asakawa-kun, good night."

A girl with short pink hair entered with her hands behind her back.

Sekijou observed, his hair was really short... It must be Ichika.

Naoki said indifferently, "Why aren't you sleeping?"

"Asakawa-kun must be really lonely alone." Ichika said with a smile "Would you like a hot spring service?"

Sekijou: "😐"

Apart from Ogata, there are still people who want to take a hot bath together. Naoki is very popular!

"There is already someone." Naoki pointed to the bathroom.

"Eh?" Ichika was surprised "Who is it?"

"Ogata."

"It's actually Rizu." Ichika nodded lightly "Then there's no problem."

Sekijou is displeased, always feeling that in Ichika's eyes, Ogata isn't good enough to fight.

After saying a few words, Ichika quickly said goodbye and left.

Sekijou breathed a sigh of relief, "Why did Ichika leave?"

"Of course because she found you." Naoki complained "You don't think that no one can find out if you hide behind the bed?"

Sekijou: "😐"

After a while, Ogata came out of the bathroom, wrapped in a white bath towel, with clogs in his feet: "Sawako? Why are you here?"

"Come and see Asakawa," Sekijou coughed lightly, "don't let her bully you."

Ogata was very confident, "Asakawa-san won't bully me."

Naoki wants a harem, so he's definitely bluffing!

"Let's go to the hot springs."

Naoki walked towards the backyard, and entered the hot spring with Ogata.

Sekijou was like a loyal and personal servant, strictly following and standing beside her as a guard.

This was nothing more than going to a hot spring with a girl, and letting another girl stand up to serve it. How decadent life is!

Too bad not long after, Sekijou hugged her arm coldly, shivering, looking really embarrassed.

"Sawako, you have to go back first." Ogata persuaded, "It's cold outside, be careful of catching a cold."

"It's okay, I can hold it... Achooo!"

There was a sound of sneezing.

Naoki sighed: "Go take a bath, then come to soak in the hot springs, carefully freeze into an ice sculpture."
