Chapter 305: Let's Play a Game Together!
"Splash—!"
Ryohei Tanaka stood under the shower, rinsing the foam off his body with warm water.
Regarding Pino's sudden arrival, he thought for a moment and decided to treat it as an accident and deal with it coldly.
It was indeed an accident.
With a quick glance just now, Ryohei Tanaka noticed she was holding a swimsuit.
She probably went back to the dormitory specifically, then thought they were done washing, so she came in.
She came for Yurine anyway, so there was nothing to dwell on!
"..." Ryohei Tanaka cleared his thoughts, turned off the shower, put on his swim trunks, and walked towards the hot spring pool outside.
"..."
"Next door seems very lively!"
Hearing the laughter and splashing sounds coming from the other side of the wall, Ryohei Tanaka glanced at the women's bath separated from the men's bath by a wall and said with a smile.
Then he stepped into the hot spring pool. As the warm water flowed over his body, he couldn't help but reveal a comfortable and relaxed expression.
"It's naturally lively with many people."
Yurine, with her hair in a bun, smiled gently.
"That's true."
Ryohei Tanaka closed his eyes and nodded in enjoyment.
At this moment, Lucoa tapped her cheek lightly with her finger, as if thinking of something, looked at the two with a smile, and said: "Actually, we can also liven things up."
"For example?"
Ryohei Tanaka opened his eyes and looked at her with interest. Yurine and Quetzalcoatl also looked over.
"Chocolate treasure hunt, want to play?" The corners of Lucoa's lips curled up as she named a game none of them had heard of.
"The rules are?"
Yurine asked, intrigued.
Lucoa held up two fingers and explained: "First, we draw lots to divide into two groups. Uppercase A and lowercase a form a group, uppercase B and lowercase b form a group."
"Those who draw uppercase A and uppercase B have to draw hearts on their bodies with chocolate sauce. And those who draw lowercase a and lowercase b have to close their eyes and use their mouths to find the 'treasure'."
What a flirtatious game!
Ryohei Tanaka's eyes lit up slightly, his interest piqued: "Sounds very interesting!"
Yurine was also somewhat tempted, but...
She narrowed her eyes halfway and demanded of Lucoa: "I want to be in a group with Ryohei-kun!"
"If you draw the same group."
Lucoa flipped her hand, and four wooden sticks appeared in her palm.
"Let's not draw lots, we'll just team up directly!"
"That takes the fun out of it!"
Lucoa expressed dissatisfaction, then thought for a moment, held up a slender white finger, and added:
"How about this, we add another condition—"
"People who have already teamed up cannot team up again in the same form, how about that?"
"Stare—!"
Yurine stared at Lucoa without saying a word.
Sensing the atmosphere was a bit tense, Ryohei Tanaka pulled Yurine over, hugged her, and smoothed things over:
"Let's forget it. Thinking about it carefully, this game is inconvenient to play in a hot spring pool; the places that can be smeared are limited."
"Where else did you want to smear?"
Yurine looked up at Ryohei Tanaka and retorted.
Then she removed Ryohei Tanaka's arm from around her, stood up from his embrace, and said:
"Let's draw lots!"
"..." Ryohei Tanaka was instantly surprised.
Just then, Jashin-chan's mischievous voice came from next door—
"Let me see what they are doing, are they having an orgy behind my back!"
"Don't do that, Jashin-chan."
This was Medusa's weak dissuasion.
Immediately after, Minos' voice also chimed in:
"How is an orgy possible! They aren't that kind of people..."
"..."
Ryohei Tanaka and the others had different expressions upon hearing this.
"Close call, we were almost exposed!"
Lucoa patted her world-class assets gently, made a joke with a smile, her charming smile carrying a hint of playfulness.
The corners of Yurine's mouth twitched, and she glanced sideways at her.
( ﹁ ﹁ )
Ryohei Tanaka also rolled his eyes at Lucoa, took a beach volleyball from his storage space, shouted "Yurine", and threw the volleyball to her.
Yurine caught it, understanding Ryohei Tanaka's intention without needing words.
She turned to look at the wooden wall separating the two hot springs. Just as Jashin-chan peeked her head out—her waist drove her body, her wrist exerted force suddenly, and the volleyball flew over like a cannonball!
"Bang!"
A muffled sound, accompanied by Jashin-chan's cry of pain. The volleyball made intimate contact with her face, knocking her directly off the wall, falling to the ground with a "thud".
"Good shot!"
Ryohei Tanaka applauded vigorously, cheering for Yurine.
A hint of a smug smile appeared on Yurine's face.
Medusa's panicked shout came from next door:
"Jashin-chan—!!"
Then came the silvery, cheerful laughter of Persephone II and the others.
"Next time, it'll be flying knives!"
Yurine put one hand on her hip and shouted towards the wall.
"You'll kill someone!"
Jashin-chan, with a 'volleyball printed on her face', climbed up from the ground and shouted at the wooden wall.
"Won't die. Talk after you die."
Yurine responded airily, instantly frustrating the scummy snake.
"That guy... really courts death!"
Kobayashi, soaking in the hot spring pool, watched this scene and couldn't help clicking her tongue lightly.
She paused and said: "However, from another perspective, she really is full of vitality..."
"Jashin-chan is usually like this."
Tohru wore a contented smile on her face and said cheerfully:
"Boss Lu says she's either courting death every day or on the way to courting death."
"...Can't argue with that!"
"..."
On the other side—
Ryohei Tanaka estimated that Jashin-chan wouldn't be stubborn enough to try peeking over the wall at them again, so he also stood up from the hot spring pool and walked towards Lucoa.
"Let's draw lots!"
Opportunity knocks; naturally, such a game couldn't be missed!
"Come come come~."
Lucoa smiled and held up the wooden sticks in her hand, signaling to the three approaching her.
"Wait a minute!"
Afraid Lucoa would cheat, Yurine reached out: "Give me the sticks, you guys draw."
"Who are you guarding against?"
Lucoa retorted, but still handed the sticks over.
"Guarding against you."
Yurine responded without mincing words.
After speaking, in front of Lucoa, she lowered her head and carefully checked the surface of each stick. After confirming there were no markings, she turned around, quickly shuffled them, and then signaled:
"Lucoa draws first."
"...You really are guarding against me from all angles!" Lucoa couldn't help raising her hand to her forehead, then reached out and casually drew a stick.
She turned it over to check and showed everyone: "I drew lowercase a."
"Next is Quetzalcoatl."
Yurine turned the remaining three sticks in her hand towards Quetzalcoatl and signaled her.
Quetzalcoatl reached out, her fingertips moving slowly over the wooden sticks, her eyes staring intently at Yurine, trying to see something.
Yurine's heart moved, intentionally cooperating.
"Wait a minute!"
Seeing this, Lucoa was instantly displeased and protested: "Yurine, that's too treacherous! I demand a reshuffle! Also, you have to close your eyes!"
"Tch—!"
Yurine glanced at Lucoa and clicked her tongue lightly.
She wasn't a sore loser. She turned around, shuffled the wooden sticks again, then closed her eyes and signaled Quetzalcoatl to draw.
Seeing this, Quetzalcoatl casually drew one, turned it over to look, and said:
"I drew uppercase B."
Not good!
Yurine opened her eyes and immediately looked at the only two sticks remaining in her hand. They were 'uppercase A' and 'lowercase b'.
A hint of disappointment flashed across her face instantly.
"Ryohei-kun."
Calling out softly, Yurine signaled Ryohei Tanaka to draw.
Ryohei Tanaka casually drew one, turned it over to look—
"It's lowercase b."
"Grouped with me."
Quetzalcoatl looked at the stick and gazed calmly at Ryohei Tanaka's face.
Yurine: "..."
