Love That Is Not Coming

Asahi nodded, watching Youko leave with Kazusa in her arms.

Not long after, Youko returned.

"Cheers!"

After taking a sip of the sake in her cup, Asahi looked at Yoko with a rosy face.

Her movements were so beautiful, in order to avoid doing anything alone, Asahi subconsciously averted his eyes, and turned to the scenery.

The open-air hot spring has no roof, and the size can accommodate at least a dozen people. The specifications are not like the independent hot spring exclusive to guest rooms. It is no wonder it is called the best room.

The white breath and the heat of the hot springs merge into the night in the deep mountains.

"Nice onsen."

Asahi was like an old man, emptying his mind in a hot spring.

However, in the blank brain, Youko's charming face had just appeared. Ever since the two of them met, her face had become the type that Asahi was very interested in. Contrary to Kazusa's appearance…beautiful and indifferent. Youko is talkative and mature, full of charm, has reached the point of perfection.

Although Kazusa's expression is richer and more attractive than before, and the occasional laugh and sleepiness is more attractive, but there is still a long way to go compared to Youko.

To Asahi, Youko has evolved into a perfect existence that understands people's hearts more and more. Is this an adult women's size?

"Why don't you dare look at me?"

Knowing the reason clearly, Youko teased on purpose.

"Isn't the answer obvious? If Kazusa sees it..."

"She was drunk and fell asleep."

"You underestimate your daughter too much."

Asahi clinked glasses with Youko again.

Even though Kazusa didn't drink much, and she was even drunk when she drank with him last time. She immediately realized, not to mention that the alcohol content was not high, maybe she would wake up after a while.

"Yeah, but it's really comfortable, I haven't felt this relaxed in a long time."

Youko approached him, and a splash of water hit Asahi's arm as she moved.

"Don't challenge my bottom line." Asahi wanted to say something.

Youko paused moderately. She knew very well that the man in front of her had the ability to act, and everything should be done in moderation.

She was in a position where she could smell a scent but couldn't seem to smell it. She stretched and put down the bath towel, imitating Asahi's movements and half leaning against the edge of the pool, narrowed her eyes and looked at the scenery in the distance.

"Tomorrow, I must rush back to Paris."

"Oh, I will look after Kazusa."

"Is that all you have to say?"

Youko turned around.

Asahi frowned and said "I'll be waiting for you in the room at 12 tonight?"

Smiling and pinching his arm, Youko came closer again: "Thank you for allowing Kazusa to chat with me quietly like this."

"The matter between mother and daughter is very simple. The conflict that exists in most families, I only encourage a few. Besides, it's too unnatural to say thank you, you need to say this about the relationship between us."

"That's right, so… let me use my little lover."

After the words fell, Asahi saw Youko get up and sit astride.

...

In the tatami room, when Kazusa got out of bed, her head was still a little dizzy. She glanced at the clock, and it was less than an hour before she had eaten hot water.

She remembers falling asleep in her mother's arms as if drunk, looking forward to the bathrobe. She hugged her knees and curled up on the blanket.

After yesterday's and today's opinions, the mother is completely different from her cognition. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the two are different. She was supposed to be a bad mother who abandoned her daughter and went abroad to have fun alone. However, Kazusa's initial thoughts and mood were completely opposite.

For a moment, she didn't know what face to put on to face her mother.

Indifferently restoring previous relationships or pretending that nothing happened and getting confused.

With the sound of a soft knock on the sliding door, Youko's lazy figure appeared in Kazusa's field of vision. panic and nervousness appeared in her eyes when she saw her daughter who had been awake for an unknown amount of time.

"When did you wake up?"

"Only just."

Looking at her mother's smooth and rosy face with a hint of coquetry, Kazusa was a bit surprised as her complexion looked a lot better. Is the hot spring really that effective?

'Want to go together?'

Youko secretly breathed a sigh of relief, she had almost forgotten that her daughter was still there now, but luckily...

"Okay."

Kazusa stood up from the tatami, and was about to avert her eyes, when she suddenly saw something dripping from under her mother's yukata.

"Water droplets."

Without paying too much attention, Kazusa changed into another conservative yukata and exited the room.

Coincidentally, Asahi also came from the open-air bath at this time. Catching a glimpse of Kazusa, and being stunned for a moment, seeing her usual expression, she didn't say anything, and just nodded.

After that, the three of them took a walk around the hot spring hotel, Kazusa looked out of control when she woke up, at least she wouldn't deliberately act cold to her mother while chatting.

...

At night, Asahi looked out at the open hot spring through the window, enjoying a different view from the moonlit day.

The hot spring still emits a white mist, slowly drifting into the darkness.

"Asahi."

Hearing someone call him, he couldn't help looking away, Youko was doing stretching exercises with a forward bending posture.

"How?"

"The reward for Kazusa was promised, but today is almost over."

Hearing this, Kazusa who was watching TV next to her twitched her ears, her face remained calm, but she completely averted her attention.

Asahi stretched out his hand: "Okay, give me the guitar."

"Ah, you really want to send songs, right?"

Youko felt that she had guessed it a long time ago: "Hmph, you still denied it on the way here, obviously my guess was right!"

Taking the guitar from Youko, Asahi gently pinched her face from an angle Kazusa couldn't see.

"Ahem, okay, next song [Love That Is Not Coming] for Kazusa."

The corners of Asahi's mouth curled up in an evil way.

"A song you haven't heard about a love you can't meet."

Youko and Kazusa looked at each other, confirming they had never heard of it before, was it the original creation again.

This is a secret love song, when Asahi sings it, he forgets his uneasiness and begins to devote himself seriously.
