I loaded the dream game

When I arrived at the door of this bathhouse, Xia Zhi finally had an impression of it.

If I remember correctly... there seems to be such a bathhouse near my home, and it has been open for decades.

I've heard Xia Zhi mention this before, that nowadays all newly opened large bathhouses use gas or electric boilers, and there are very few that insist on using firewood to boil water like theirs.

But I heard from Rinne that they are currently renovating and it will take some time for trial operation before they are ready to open for business.

In the end, have you chosen to adapt to the times?

Because it was not on the way to school, he rarely went this way before. In addition, he and Xia Zhi did not like to go to the bathhouse, and preferred to take a bath at home, so even though they had lived nearby for so many years, they had rarely visited here.

Uh... so, he was also responsible for the collapse of this bathhouse due to the times?

Xia Zhi suddenly realized this.

"Oh, little girl, we meet again."

Seeing the pink-haired girl walking into the store, the old lady sitting at the counter at the door greeted her cheerfully.

"Good afternoon, old lady~" Rinne responded with a smile and started chatting with the other party enthusiastically.

Although according to Rinne, they had only known each other for two days, it could be seen from her words and expressions during the conversation that the old woman seemed to like her very much.

...It has nothing to do with social skills. It's probably just like what Kotori said, no one would dislike a gentle and cute girl.

Xia Zhi, who was witnessing this scene from the side, thought about it, and then he saw the old woman who was chatting with the girl set her eyes on him.

"Oh, is this your boyfriend?" She narrowed her eyes and asked with a smile.

I don’t know why, but the older generation seems to like making fun of people in this regard.

"No, granny." Rinne smiled and responded naturally, "We are just childhood sweethearts who are very good friends."

"Oh, so that's a child bride?" The old woman found another angle to interpret the story.

Child bride?

Hearing this key word, Kotori's ears twitched, and she and Yoshino looked at the boy at the same time.

Don't look at me like that, I haven't seen what she looked like when she was a child.

"Cough cough."

Xia Zhi coughed twice, pretended not to notice their gaze, and looked down at the time on his mobile phone.

...According to the time, Maruna, Origami and the others should be here soon, right?

Do you want to wait for them here?

"By the way, I forgot to ask just now."

On the other side, after greeting Kotori and the others and briefly introducing them, the old woman's eyes fell on the petite silver-haired girl who had been following the black-haired boy and had hardly spoken to him from beginning to end.

What is the relationship between this little girl and that boy... ?

"Master?" Ju Ya tilted his head slightly.

"……hehe."

The old woman laughed dryly

Young people nowadays really have a lot of fun.

Just as Rinne said, because it hasn't officially opened yet, at this time, there are only Xiazhi and his group of "customers" in the entire bathhouse, and the huge bath looks a little empty.

...The reason why I put quotation marks around "customers" is that even though it is said to be a discount coupon, it would actually be more appropriate to call it a "trial coupon". After all, there was no intention to charge them any money. Maybe it was because the old lady liked Rinne, Kotori and other cute children so much.

So strictly speaking, they are here to get something for free.

The only regret is that after entering, I found that this bathhouse does not have a mixed bathing pool, only separate bathing pools for men and women.

"pity……"

The girl's voice filled with regret came to my ears.

Upon hearing this, Xia Zhi looked at the girl next to him who had short silver-white hair that fell to her shoulders and a dignified and delicate face without much expression.

…Just as they said on the phone, Origami arrived soon after they arrived here.

To be honest, I just went on a date with "her" a while ago, and now meeting her in person feels a little weird.

"what happened?"

Origami tilted her head in confusion.

"No……"

As Xia Zhi spoke, he couldn't help but look at her.

Although he didn't pay special attention, it was inevitable to see some of the scenery inside the girl's collar from this angle. Especially after noticing his gaze, the girl deliberately pulled her collar down to reveal the "underwear" she was wearing, confirming Xia Zhi's guess.

...Why wear a swimsuit? He complained in his mind.

"Xia Zhi prefers to wear nothing?" the girl asked, tilting her head slightly.

That seems good... oh no

"That's not what I meant." Xia Zhi said righteously, turned his gaze away, but met a pair of familiar red eyes.

"So, brother, is this how you tease female classmates at school?" Kotori asked, crossing her arms over her chest.

"..."

Can't you see she's teasing me?

Xia Zhi felt deeply saddened by the fact that this person ignored the facts, not only did not stand on his brother's side to help speak, but also turned around and blamed his own sister.

"What does the mixed bathing pool mean?" Kotori asked.

Ah, this...

Xia Zhi looked away guiltily.

He just wanted to have some fun...

Of course, this explanation seemed to Kotori to be just a sophistry. Fortunately, she was familiar with the boy's personality and just snorted without saying anything else.

"Well, I'll see you all later."

After some fun, they got back to the point. After agreeing on a time to meet, everyone headed for their respective baths.

Before walking into the red curtain with the word "female" written on it, Kotori subconsciously looked in the direction of Xia Zhi, but saw a girl with short silver-white hair following closely behind him towards the men's bathroom.

"?"

A question mark popped up in her head.

"Wait, what do you want to do, woman?"

Kotori hurried forward, grabbed Origami's wrist and asked.

"As the person taking care of Xia Zhi, I feel it is necessary for me to stay with him in order to prevent him from drowning in the bathtub and causing personal injury." Origami replied seriously.

What kind of weird reason is this? He is not a child, how could he drown in the bathtub without anyone to accompany him?

Kotori absolutely disagreed with such an excuse.

...Besides, even if someone really needs to take care of him, it should be me as a family member, right?

"You're obviously the younger sister, but you want to find such an excuse to follow your brother into the bath?" Origami, who was exposed, asked calmly.

After thinking about it, she added:

"abnormal."

"I don't want you to say that!" Kotori shouted angrily.

It was you who used this excuse first, right?

"Okay, okay, you two must not cause trouble to the store." Rinne said this while holding their hands.

"But Sister Rinne, this guy..."

Kotori was originally very angry and wanted to say something, but after Rinne gently stroked her head, she made a "wuwu" sound and quickly calmed down.

It's like coaxing a child, Xia Zhi thought when he saw this scene.

How should I put it? When facing a girl like Rinne, even though her personality and behavior are usually very gentle, if she scolds me, I will feel like I have made a big mistake.

Origami on the other side was also unable to resist, and could only cast a lingering look towards Xia Zhi before being forcibly taken to the women's bathing pool.

It seems that as long as Rinne is here, I don't have to worry too much about the situation over there.

Thinking this, Xia Zhi walked into the men's bathroom with confidence.

Perhaps because it was just renovated, although the bathhouse is quite old, the decoration inside is exceptionally modern.

After taking a quick shower, Xia Zhi entered the bathtub and let the warm water cover his body.

Looking up, apart from the rising steam, there were no other guests in the bathhouse. He was the only one in the spacious bathtub, feeling as if he had the whole place to himself.

Although it is quite pleasant to some extent, if you think about it carefully, it seems to be no different from taking a bath at home, right?

Xiazhi doesn’t quite understand why so many people in this country like to go to the bathhouse to take a bath?

…We all came here together, but in the end I was the only one left.

".‖ Gurgle…"

(Qian Le Zhao) Just as he was thinking this with regret in his heart, he suddenly saw a series of bubbles emerging from the water surface in front of him.

Then the next moment, under his gaze, a small head with long silver hair emerged from the water.

"Xiazhi, are you thinking about me?"

The girl blinked and greeted him playfully.

The long silver-white hair looks soft and charming because of the warm water, and it sparkles with a delicate luster under the light.

Drops of water dripped from the ends of her hair, gently touching her fair skin, then slid down her slender neck to her collarbone, then slowly slid over her shoulders and slender arms, and finally dripped back into the water, splashing water droplets and echoing faint water sounds in this large bathtub.

Xia Zhi was stunned for a moment, and called out the name of the petite girl in front of him.

"…Juya?"

.......

Chapter 1314: What is it like to have a beautiful girl AI who shares all the “good things” with her owner?

The person with such long silver-white hair and exquisite figure who appeared in front of Xia Zhi in such an unexpected way was naturally Miss Ormoriya, who called herself "Xia Zhi's exclusive intelligent artificial assistant."

"Why are you here?"

Xia Zhi looked at the girl in front of him and asked.

"Because Ju Ya is Xia Zhi's smart assistant?"

Ju Ya tilted his head slightly and answered as a matter of course

"I never left your side from the beginning. Isn't it normal for me to be here?"

It seems so?

Xia Zhi glanced at his cell phone which he had placed next to the bathtub.

Although generally speaking, it is best not to bring mobile phones into the bathing area. But it is really boring to take a bath alone without doing anything, and anyway, you don’t have to worry about water getting in.

...From the perspective of the "real body", it seems that she has always been on his side.

"Besides, Ju Ya promised Xia Zhi."

The girl continued, "Juya will always be by your side when you need her."

Although I am very touched by what you said, does the "forever" you mentioned at that time also include this situation?

Xia Zhi complained in his heart.

Moreover, regardless of whether the "needs" that the girl refers to are slightly different from your own understanding, shouldn't you be with Kotori and the others now?

If you come over here...
