When Two Wounded Hearts Find Solace In Each Other, Snow White (The School's Beauty) And I Were Mistakenly Labeled As A Silly Couple. - Chapter 83: Snow White and Mixed Bathing Outdoor Baths.

Snow White and Mixed Bathing Outdoor Baths.

“I never expected we’d end up bathing together…”

After enjoying the luxurious dinner, Takahashi and Himeno decided to soak in the outdoor hot spring together.

Normally, wrapping a towel around your body in a hot spring is considered against etiquette, but it shouldn’t be an issue since no one else would be coming.

“We’re here on our honeymoon. It’s natural for us to bathe together.”

Himeno, saying this as if it were obvious, seemed embarrassed, and a faint, “Ahh…” escaped her lips as her cheeks turned red.

Certainly, bathing together on a honeymoon is expected, but we’re not officially a couple yet, so I hoped she would show a bit more restraint.

Although it’s almost certain that we’ll become a couple on this trip, Takahashi, not having much tolerance for explicit matters, found it quite stimulating.

Presumably, Himeno wants him to get used to it to some extent, considering that they’ll likely be together in the future and get married. If they plan on having children, engaging in intimate activities would be inevitable.

Himeno, seemingly uncomfortable with lecherous gazes, appears fine when it comes from someone she likes.

Although there was an occasion shortly after we started talking where I embraced a half-naked Himeno, it was purely to warm her cold and wet body. But now, perhaps wanting him to be more aware of her as a woman, she wants to bathe together like this.

“Most likely, Taka-kun, you will express your feelings to me later, so today’s bathing together isn’t just a thank-you for consoling me. It’s my own resolve.”

“Resolve?”

“Yes. My darling is rational and kind, but he has one flaw.”

She said with a serious expression, despite her blushing cheeks.

“Due to that steel-like rationality, you suppress your instincts. Sometimes, I wonder if I’m not attractive to you because of that.”

Certainly, she would want to be perceived as attractive by someone she loves.

While she might have found reassurance in his steel-like rationality, it now seems a bit inconvenient.

“No, you are attractive.”

“I understand that. But, even though you kiss me, you won’t go further. Despite being on our honeymoon…”

Himeno’s expression turned a bit sad.

My determination might be about offering my first time.

It’s known that a woman’s first time can be quite painful, even with someone she loves. Just the thought of scenes where our bodies intertwine makes me feel warm. It’s only natural since I’m inexperienced.

“Indeed, my darling’s rational side is attractive. It allows girls to feel at ease when around you.”

Certainly, there must be a sense of security that Himeno feels when with me.

But for now, it seems she finds it dissatisfying.

“Yet, being too rational might be a bit much…”

Himeno, dressed in a bath towel, embraced me tightly.

“Anyway, let’s just bathe together for now.”

“Yeah.”

After rinsing off briefly, I soaked in the hot spring while being embraced by Himeno.

The milky hot spring water seemed effective for relieving shoulder stiffness, but there was no room to enjoy it leisurely with such a close embrace.

“Tonight, I’ll let out your instincts. Our relationship will change on this trip. But even if I know the answer, Taka-kun, you can be a bit indecisive at times, so consider this insurance.”

After spending more than a month together every day, Himeno seems to have a good understanding of my personality.

Even if it’s embarrassing to be so close even with a bath towel between us, Himeno seems to want this change desperately.

I know this change would make her happy, but admitting love for the first time is still embarrassing.

However, once said, the embarrassment might fade with time. Saying it repeatedly might diminish the special feeling, but I still want to say it at least once a day.

“After we leave the hot spring, I’ll be expecting something from you.”

With such words, the embarrassment made it hard to fully enjoy the hot spring.
