Chapter 200 The Girls' Bathhouse Next Door (Continued)
Shimizu looked at Kondo Yuichi who was bowing deeply in front of him and wanted to help him up, but Kondo Yuichi seemed to have something to say.
"I know. Even if you can't forgive me, it doesn't matter to me...but I must tell you these words."
Tears flowed out like a dam breaking, and when he came to his senses, Kondo Yuichi was already in tears.
"I don't think that after saying this I can become your friend again, nor do I expect that things between us can go back to the way they were before."
"Even so, I still want to say 'sorry' to you for my stupidity before!"
From beginning to end, Shimizu Miki did not try to interrupt or interrupt Kondo Yuichi, but let him finish what he was saying.
No matter what the way, the departure of friends who have always been with you is painful. Even if you think you will no longer care about it, it will still leave some traces in your heart.
Although I have been hurt in the past, it is all "over" long ago.
It was not Shimizumi's character to keep bringing up old issues, and he did not intend to harbor hatred or complain.
Although it might sound a bit pretentious for him to say this, Qing Shuijian didn't want to be a petty person.
Shimizu took out a tissue from his pocket and handed it to Kondo Yuichi.
Although there are many things I want to say, these simple words are enough for now.
"I accept your apology."
"See……"
Shimizu looked at Kondo Yuichi's profile and found that he seemed to be staring into the distance. His expression seemed to be freed from some kind of restraint and looked very refreshed.
This may just be a temporary illusion.
Like Kondo Yuichi said, it's hard to get back to the exact same relationship as before.
Because the relationship between Shimizu Miki and Amamiya Iori has changed, it should be impossible to completely restore it to its previous state.
But even so, Kondo Yuichi has moved on.
After he said this, he seemed to finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Then, Qingshuijian called out to him as he turned around and was about to leave.
"Ah, there's one more thing I haven't told you."
"Eh?"
Shimizumi held out his fist and made an announcement.
"I will make Iori happy, happier than anyone else."
After hearing this, Kondo Yuichi stood there in a daze for a long while.
"…I don't have the confidence that I can make her smile like that, but if I can meet her, it will be no problem."
Although Kondo Yuichi's smile was a little forced, he already understood what he was doing.
In addition, Shimizu Mi was concerned about something else.
"By the way, how's your sister doing after that?"
"Aoi... was almost raped by that guy... but luckily someone saved her at that time."
Kondo Aoi is still young, and if something like that really happened, it would probably ruin her life.
Although Kondo Aoi had spoken rudely to Shimizu Ken several times, Shimizu Ken just treated her as an ignorant little girl.
After all, who would bother with a little female ghost?
But I didn't expect that in that situation, someone happened to save Kondo Aoi... Is this really a coincidence?
Shimizu already had some guesses in his mind, so he continued to ask Kondo Yuichi for details.
"I don't know about this either, but I only heard from Aoi that it was a woman who saved her, probably around 20 or 30 years old..."
"Twenty or thirty years old..."
"By the way, Aoi also told me that the other party said that if he wanted to thank someone, he would thank you."
"Thank me?"
Although it was a little confusing, Shimizu could more or less guess that it was probably done by Kanzaki Ayako.
Judging from her behavior at his house last time, Ayako Kanzaki seems to hate people who cheat.
But this is also human nature. After all, cheating is immoral no matter which country it is.
If it were in ancient China, the person would be thrown into a pig cage.
While Shimizu was thinking about this, Kondo Yuichi had already left.
After finishing the drink in his hand alone, he let out a sigh of relief.
Sudden--
"..."
Needless to say, the consequences of drinking two large bottles of water at once are obvious.
"Toilet toilet..."
……
……
About an hour ago, next to the boys' bathing area.
In fact, because this is an open-air hot spring, the sound insulation of the hotel bathhouse is not that good, so all the topics that the boys were talking loudly about before were heard by the girls in the girls' bathhouse next door.
"Yeah, honey, you're really powerful, but you're also very gentle. You always help me prepare beforehand, so once you get used to it..."
"…I, Iori-nee?!"
"Oh, sorry sorry, I forgot Reina was here."
Because it was just past nine o'clock and the bathhouse had just opened, there were only Amamiya Iori and Shimizu Reina in the girls' bathhouse.
Reina Shimizu sank her head into the water, and bubbles popped up one by one. When she could no longer hold her breath, she suddenly surfaced.
"My dear is next door now."
Amamiya Iori looked at the wall between them and sighed.
Although the school trip to Kyoto was new and the hot springs were very comfortable, the fun was reduced by half without the clear water around.
The wall separating the men's and women's baths is so annoying...ah, but there will be other men there, so it's absolutely not possible.
Amemiya Iori immediately shook his head.
"...Speaking of which, I really can't leave my dear."
Amamiya Iori said this with a wry smile.
I remember that I once said that I would never let Shimizu Mi escape from me and would let him indulge in it. Although Shimizu Mi is always by her side now, in fact, Amamiya Iori's dependence on Shimizu Mi is doubled.
My dear, your counterattack is really powerful...
"Um... Iori-nee."
The voice of Shimizu Reina brought Amamiya Iori back to her senses from her thoughts on Shimizu Mi.
"Um, what's wrong Reina?"
"……that."
Shimizu Reina took a deep breath before speaking.
"Iori-sister, have you and brother...already..."
“Yes, I have already done that.”
"Did it?! Did it? No, that's not right. I haven't asked yet."
Before Shimizu Reina finished asking the question, Amamiya Iori had already answered it.
Although Shimizu Reina did not say it clearly, Amamiya Iori's intuition was sharp enough.
"Reina, do you understand what I mean?"
"…I, I'm not a child anymore."
Reina Shimizu gently pursed her lips which looked particularly rosy under the steam.
"That is to say?"
"Iori-sister and brother had a relationship...didn't they?" "Huh? You actually said it out loud."
Amamiya Iori covered her mouth in surprise.
Although there were only her and Shimizu Reina here now, she really didn't expect Shimizu Reina to say it so bluntly.
It can also be seen that Rena Shimizu is very confident in the conclusion she came to.
Seeing that Shimizu Reina was staring at him, Amemiya Iori, who had no intention of hiding it, nodded slightly.
“Reina is right, but at first I thought Reina didn’t even know what that meant.”
"I...I'm not a child..."
In order to hide her shyness, Rena Shimizu lowered her nose under the water again, making bubbles.
"In that case, Reina must know what my dear and I did, right?"
"Hmm... this... this..."
Shimizu Reina buried her head deeper.
"If you don't know, I can tell you."
"Of course I know... because I've seen it in the movies."
She's seen it?!
Amamiya Iori instantly showed an expression that was even more surprised than before.
"Reina, where did you see this kind of movie?"
Amamiya Iori couldn't help but ask Shimizu Reina.
"…Yuiko sent it to me before."
"Yuiko?"
"It's a friend from my class."
Amemiya Iori never expected that girls nowadays are more open-minded than she imagined.
After all, not even she had seen that kind of movie.
No, it is possible that Reina Shimizu is just trying to be brave and making up a lie?
"Reina, do you really know how to do this?"
"Um……"
Shimizu Reina nodded twice with assurance.
"Then tell me?"
Amemiya Iori swam over and closed the distance with Shimizu Reina. Under the water, the two of them could vaguely see their beautiful figures.
"Well... just... just like that... mouth... to mouth..."
"..."
"…Huh? Iori-nee-san?"
Shimizu Reina looked at Amamiya Iori in confusion, who was suddenly petrified and speechless in front of her.
"Sister Iori, did I say something wrong?"
Shimizu Reina asked softly, her eyes full of confusion.
Amemiya Iori now feels speechless, although part of the reason is that after chatting for such a long time, he found out in the end that he had made too much presumptuous assumptions, but more of it is because he did not expect Shimizu Rena to be so innocent.
Amemiya Iori now even began to doubt, is there another girl in the world who is as ignorant as Shimizu Reina at this age?
"Uh... Reina, what I'm talking about is..."
Amemiya Iori is now very conflicted about whether or not to tell Shimizu Rena the truth.
On the one hand, Amemiya Iori did not want to destroy the innocence of Shimizu Rena, but on the other hand, Shimizu Rena was indeed at the age where she should learn about that kind of knowledge.
However, wouldn't it be better to discuss this matter with Shimizumi in advance?
"Sister Iori..."
Shimizu Reina called out again, and Amamiya Iori slowly raised his head and saw her extremely serious face.
"Sister Iori, you were right before."
Reina Shimizu placed her hands on her chest, and her long pink hair, which was scattered on both sides of her shoulders, was wet by the hot spring, like cherry blossoms in the morning dew, emitting an attractive luster.
""
Reina Shimizu's hands could clearly feel her heart beating violently involuntarily.
That's because she has now made up her mind. At that time, the touch of her fingertips in front of the divination stone slowly cleared up the pattern deep in Shimizu Reina's heart.
Amemiya Iori looked at Shimizu Reina who had confessed her feelings, narrowed his eyes gently, smiled, stretched out his arms to hug her shoulders, and gently pulled her into his arms.
"Don't worry, didn't I promise you that I would definitely let you go there?"
"Sister Iori..."
At this moment, Shimizu Reina looked towards the sliding door leading to the open-air bath and stopped talking.
Then the sliding door opened with a click, and Ayase Kotone appeared from behind the door with a towel hung in front of her.
……
At this inn, many students who have finished their dinner go to the inn for fun, and that is to come to this very famous large bath.
This is no exception for Ayase Kotone, this is one of the things she has been looking forward to for a long time.
Although Ayase Kotone finished dinner earlier than the students around her, she was surprised to find that two girls had already changed their clothes in the locker room. One of them was a girl who wanted to finish dinner quickly and take a bath as soon as possible because she didn't want to be seen naked.
On the other hand, for Ayase Kotone, being seen naked by the same sex does not make her feel disgusted or ashamed.
When she was in elementary school and junior high school, she was not the student council president, her presence was weak, and she was not noticeable. In addition, she had no friends and no one cared about her appearance, which also had an impact.
Despite this, Ayase Kotone spread out the towel to cover the front of her face as if she was observing some kind of etiquette, and at the same time opened the sliding door leading to the large public bath.
A sultry heat rushed out, and a large bathing area that was much larger than expected came into view.
There are two large indoor baths inside, and there is only one open-air bath outside, but you can see through the window that it is a fairly large rock bath.
Ayase Kotone rinsed her body with hot water and immediately went to the rock bath.
So, she met two guests in the rock bath who had arrived earlier than expected.
"Ah, it's President Ayase."
Amamiya Iori immediately noticed the visitor and waved gently as if to welcome him.
"excuse me."
Ayase Kotone responded simply.
"Is President Ayase alone?"
Amemiya Iori looked at the sliding door behind Ayase Kotone.
"Why do you ask?"
"Because it feels like President Ayase is always alone, whether it's at school or somewhere else."
No matter who you are, there will be times when you want to be alone, but Ayase Kotone spends too much time alone. Most of the time, she is seen alone in school.
"Does President Ayase have no friends with similar interests?"
In order to cool down her hot body in the evening breeze, Amamiya Iori got up from the hot spring and sat on a rock.
Although it was a bit cold outside the bathtub after coming out of the hot spring, this contrast sometimes made people feel very comfortable.
Amamiya Iori did not wrap her body with a towel, but showed her posture openly.
Reina Shimizu buried her face under the water and looked at the fullness with her eyes wide open.
"Are there friends with similar interests?"
Ayase Kotone muttered softly, untying the towel in front of her and preparing to enter the bath.
"Wow..."
Seeing this scene, Reina Shimizu couldn't help but exclaim, and her eyes widened in disbelief.
Wow, what a powerful enemy!
