When I brought my childhood friend back home after a long time, she suddenly started undressing and said, "I want you to hold me..." - Chapter 24
Aoi and I returned the yukata to Grandma’s shop. We then headed towards the elevator waiting area of the hot spring inn to return to our room.
After greeting the nakai-san at the reception, the janitor was cleaning the hall. As usual, I was curious, but I was also impressed that the cleaning was done at night.
[TL/N : Nakai san aka Care-takers.]
As we walked slowly, my eyes suddenly caught sight of a hot spring guide poster. I immediately stopped in my tracks and began to stare at the poster, and Aoi also stopped a few meters ahead.
“Hey, what are you doing? If you don’t hurry, the next one will come.”
“—Ah, wait a minute for me!”
‘Well… mixed bathing… I wonder how it is… it’s probably too late at 22:00.’
The pervert searching for the mixed bathing time is born here.
We are already lovers, it wouldn’t be particularly bad to see each other naked, but some people might be turned off if it was shown so openly. In the end, maybe I hadn’t changed deep down.
Well, I have a point. Since I was teased by the nakai-san when I came here, I’ve been thinking that I have to take a bath at least once before I go back.
Of course, on the surface, what I really mean is — I simply want to take a bath together. It wouldn’t be strange to say that the room was fine, but his pride is getting in the way and he thinks mixed bathing is good.
‘Well… seriously?’
I read the contents at a speed far faster than my usual reading speed, but I couldn’t find the information I was seeking for.
After about ten seconds, when I was about to give up, a voice called from behind me.
“……Hey, what are you looking at?”
Her voice rang in my ear, and she sighed near me. Unconsciously, I flinched.
“——!?”
“What are you looking at?”
Realizing my situation, I immediately turned around and hid the poster behind my back.
“—Wh-what?”
“Why do you look so scared?”
“N-no, I’m not scared at all.”
“……too suspicious.”
“You are just imagining things Aoi.”
“When you deny it so much, it makes me even more suspicious.”
“…it’s nothing, really, nothing at all.”
Since I was exposed, I changed my expression and seriously explained everything to her, and Aoi seemed to understand and let go.
“We-well, it’s okay… Look, let’s go back. You’re coming, right?”
“Y-yeah…”
In the end, I decided to return to the room without confirming it.
However, when I opened the key to the room, washed my hands, and thought about taking a break in a corner of the Japanese-style room……
“Well then, shall we go?”
“Eh? Where…?”
I was taken aback by the sudden words and couldn’t understand the situation, asked in a daze.
Meanwhile Aoi, tilting her head, continued.
“What are you talking about? Look, you were looking at it earlier, weren’t you?”
“……Eh?”
What was I looking at? I thought inwardly.
However, since she said it so casually, I seriously thought about what I was doing and my chest began to flutter. But as soon as I saw Aoi’s straight face, I realized.
“…No, well. You were looking at it earlier, right?”
“No… the bath guide.”
“Ah~, right, right! Since we’re here, it’s not enough just to have a foot bath, right!?”
“……No, mixed bathing.”
“Ah…”
Of course, I couldn’t deceive her, and I was exposed in just a few seconds.
However, since I couldn’t say anything opposed to it at this point, I quickly changed my expression and seriously said.
“W-well… that’s right, I want to go to the mixed bath.”
“—Pervert.”
“Ugh……”
When I remembered that night, I could tell her that it wasn’t just me, even Aoi was the same, but I couldn’t say it this time.
I kept quiet as Aoi spoke with a slightly sulky expression.
“But well, I was also thinking of going. Is that okay?”
“I-is it really okay…?”
“What are you talking about now?”
She replied with cool words that didn’t seem to be from the girl who was crying earlier.
‘Well, I am in a relationship, but is it really okay? Honestly, I still feel like it’s too early to do these things.’
[TL/N : Says the one who has already f****d her.]
“……Hey, are you listening to me?”
While I was pondering over my thoughts, Aoi suddenly approached me, almost peering into my face. I was surprised, but as I took a step back, ready to retreat, she whispered in a small voice.
“—Because of your confession, I couldn’t do what you advised me to do, so let’s go, okay?”
I was about to flinch at the overly seductive voice, but this time Aoi held my shoulder and I couldn’t escape, feeling stuck.
Above all, the smell wafting from her was irresistible. There were many people and she was wearing a yukata earlier, so she might have been sweating, but whether it was body odor or the smell of her hair, the scent I sniffed that time suddenly entered my nasal cavity.
“Wha—!?”
A voice that couldn’t be put into words escaped from my throat and my body stiffened. Whether she noticed or it was a coincidence, she slowly moved away.
Staring blankly, she pinched my cheeks, and with a smile, she said,
“…Come on, let’s go.”
In the end, I couldn’t resist and was half-forced to be led by the hand.
‘Wait, I was trying to invite her… but now I’m the one being dragged?!’
