Traveling With a Beautiful Girl - Chapter 14: To The Next Place......?

After indulging our sweet tooth, we spent some time wandering around the shopping district.

Nanase had picked up a few tourist spots around Atami, but we decided to move on to the next destination, saying, “This would make it an Atami trip.”

For us, the novelty-seeking travelers, this trip was about going wide and shallow.

We decided to focus on visiting various famous spots in different prefectures, like a round-the-world trip.

So we came back to the square in front of Atami Station.

When I saw the Ieyasu-no-Yu bathhouse where we had frolicked with the 20-year-old gal in the morning, a nostalgic feeling washed over me.

(…It was a short time, but it was fun.)

Footbath, seafood rice bowl, hot springs, pudding, shopping district.

The sightseeing time was only a few hours, but we had spent some quality time together.

In particular, the encounter with Ruka was shocking.

Meeting someone I wouldn’t normally have met made me feel very refreshed.

It’s a shame I couldn’t hear the result of her confession, but it can’t be helped.

That’s what a once-in-a-lifetime encounter is all about.

As if reeling in the remnants of my memories, I suddenly looked at Ieyasu-no-Yu.

The exchange with her was so vivid in my mind that I almost felt as if Ruka was there…

“Oh, we meet again, Ka-kun, Ri-chan!”

Semi-long blonde hair, a blouse with a low neckline, and a cream-colored cardigan around her waist.

Her cheerful smile sparkled with happiness.

It wasn’t an illusion; she was really there.

“…Let’s go, Takahashi-kun.”

Nanase hurried ahead with an expression that said she didn’t want to deal with this.

“Aww, wait a minute, Ri-chan!”

Splashing out of the footbath, Ruka clung to Nanase without even putting on her socks.

“Hey, get off me!”

“No! I won’t let go! I missed you, Ri-chan!”

“Ah, hey! Don’t touch me there!”

The blonde beauty rubbing her cheek against Nanase, and the black-haired beauty, blushing and breathing heavily.

Ah, dear God.

Beautiful lilies bloomed in the land of Atami.

(T/N: Us)

“Get off me already! I’m not into that kind of thing!”

Nanase tore the yuri flower away.

“Anyway, what happened with your confession? Depending on the outcome, this could be considered cheating!”

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

That’s the topic we need to be most careful about! Nanase suddenly covered her mouth, probably realizing she had blurted it out. Ruka stopped moving. Slowly, she detached herself from Nanase and said softly,

“I was rejected.”
