Wrapped in a pure white bath towel, her delicate, fair feet made light, tentative movements, gently testing the water temperature.
Feeling the warm relief of a day's fatigue, Aoi slowly sat down. At this moment, she couldn't help but show a look of intoxication:
"Hoo… Oh my… This hot water is really comfortable…"
Aoi squinted, comfortably enjoying the refreshing feeling of a post-meal bath.
"I didn't expect there to be a hot spring here... I never knew before..."
Daijin-chan murmured to herself as she sat in the bath. Compared to everyone else, she preferred these relatively secluded corners.
Because it always made her feel at ease.
Miko sat by the washing area, alone, cleaning her soft, snow-white hair.
Rice Shower, as if her mind had long since emptied, submerged most of her body, only her head peeking out: "Gurgle..."
In the large bathhouse, besides them, only a few scattered people were showering and bathing.
The splashing sounds of the bath water, and the misty steam.
Although the decor looked very old and elegant, it wasn't as lively as expected.
"It's incredible... Even though this isn't a hot spring, it gives off a very unique feeling... Could it be because of the exquisitely elegant design of this large bathhouse?"
Xiao Hai Wan slowly sat down with a towel, curiously looking around.
And almost everyone's gaze, in that instant, focused on her.
For no other reason than simply her size, that eye-catching size.
On weekdays when wearing her school uniform, Xiao Hai Wan always wore clothes one or two sizes larger than others, not to mention the envious glances several people gave her figure just now in the changing room.
Especially now, soaking in the bath, with everyone completely undressed and "frankly facing each other." It's not hard to understand why everyone here paid extra attention to their skin and figure.
After all, among those present—
Aside from Xiao Hai Wan, only Aoi's chest was relatively well-endowed, but even that was only a C-cup—
While Rice Shower, Daijin-chan, and Miko's figures weren't regrettable, their petite stature only made people feel cute rather than mature and sexy.
"I've always wanted to ask... Xiao Hai Wan, how did you get so big?"
Aoi looked at Xiao Hai Wan eagerly, her face flushed, whether from the steam or surging blood.
Xiao Hai Wan initially didn't understand Aoi's words, but when she noticed everyone's gaze focused on one spot, she seemed to understand something and gave a slightly troubled smile, saying:
"Ah haha... Actually, it's nothing, it just grew naturally..."
"Damn it—Xiao Hai Wan, you said forbidden words!!"
Aoi's expression looked a bit distorted. "Xiao Hai Wan, do you know? The few phrases that make girls most easily jealous are: 'it just grew naturally,' 'I can eat anything and not get fat,' 'my skin is naturally this good,' and 'I never get sunburned no matter how much sun I get!'"
The others nodded in deep agreement, clearly empathizing with what she said.
Xiao Hai Wan naturally couldn't understand such emotions. She touched her face and smiled unnaturally, saying: "Ah haha... But in my eyes, everyone has their own good points."
"Look at Daijin-chan's skin; it's fair with a rosy glow and extremely soft. Although her figure is petite, her limbs are long and her waist is slender. She makes people feel both cute and a bit like a mature little adult ~"
As Xiao Hai Wan spoke, she had already moved from the bath and directly hugged Daijin-chan. Daijin-chan was completely unable to resist and was held in her arms. Xiao Hai Wan affectionately rubbed her face against Daijin-chan's cheek, like she was cuddling a plush doll.
Daijin-chan was completely "restrained" by her, unable to move at all, and could only shout: "Xi-Xiao Hai Wan, don't be like this, quick, let go!"
Her face flushed, she was completely defenseless, only able to "shout," but in front of Xiao Hai Wan, it was more like a futile, blustering threat.
This childlike rebellious emotion further stirred Xiao Hai Wan's maternal feelings, and she excitedly hugged her, saying: "Mmm~~~!! I really want to sleep while hugging Daijin-chan!"
"N-no, don't do that..."
"Daijin-chan, are we sleeping together tonight? Can I hug you while we sleep?"
"No, absolutely not! My house has tatami mats, you sleep in your own bed!"
After all, Xiao Hai Wan had returned to Tokyo earlier, so she would be staying at her house for two days.
Naturally, she would also be sleeping in Daijin-chan's bedroom.
Despite Daijin-chan constantly saying no to their actions, her reaction wasn't as intense as expected. As roommates and friends who often spent time together, their relationship was actually more like that of sisters.
Of course, for Xiao Hai Wan, the generational relationship might even be a bit lower—
Seeing their intimacy, Aoi also stood up again, took a towel, and walked over to Miko, saying: "Miko!! Do you want me to scrub your back?"
"No."
A very direct refusal.
"Then can you scrub my back?"
Aoi asked, still smiling.
"No."
Still very direct, seemingly without even considering it.
But Aoi happily raised her hand and said: "Okay! Then I'll trouble you, Miko! Here's the soap and body wash."
Aoi said, and had already brought over a small wooden stool and sat down beside her.
Miko's expression remained unchanged; she just sighed softly, then took the bathing supplies.
The sound of the wooden bucket filling with hot water, then Miko's gentle hands rubbing Aoi's back.
This scene was both alluring and peaceful.
"Is the pressure alright?"
"Mmm... It's very comfortable, you can press a little harder..."
Aoi squinted, enjoying Miko's back-scrubbing service.
And Xiao Hai Wan, watching the two of them interact, also had an idea, then looked at Daijin-chan beside her.
"Daijin-chan—"
Before she could finish speaking, Daijin-chan, who already understood everything, shook her head vigorously, saying:
"No, absolutely not!!"
Such a firm refusal made Xiao Hai Wan give up on the idea.
After letting go of Daijin-chan, Xiao Hai Wan turned her gaze to the other person in the bath.
And in this, she actually had her own calculations.
The Rice Shower Xiao Hai Wan met today was clearly, as Kazuo said, experiencing difficulties and setbacks... And Kazuo's worried gaze during dinner, Xiao Hai Wan saw it all.
To alleviate Kazuo's pressure, she also found an opportunity to approach Rice Shower once again.
"Um... Rice Shower-chan? Can I sit next to you?"
Although she couldn't fully help the other party, Xiao Hai Wan also believed that she could at least help Kazuo counsel Rice Shower.
Compared to practical help, she could now act as a listener in the capacity of a peer.
Listening is just as needed as care and help.
