My Pokémon Story of Seasons

Chapter 117 No Peeping

"Ah, ah, ah~"

Sweet Wu Ni skipped and hopped ahead, overjoyed at the thought of soaking in the hot springs with Tong Hua.

"Knock knock—."

Salt Stone Treasure, who is afraid of water, naturally couldn't soak in the hot spring. He stayed in the room with the three little fairy grandmothers to watch TV.

"La-hua!"

Taking this opportunity, the two Celebi finally got to show up and start showing off their food! They had been watching everyone eat and drink all day and were practically drooling with envy!

But what the two shrine maidens didn't realize was that at the very moment they appeared, a pair of emerald green vertical pupils hidden in the shadows saw them clearly.

Tong Hua carried Mini Fu, followed behind Sweet Wu Ni with Foam Chipmunk and Messenger Bird. To reach the hot springs, they had to cross an outdoor courtyard.

The setting sun cast its light on the stone path in the courtyard, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene.

Sweet Wuni excitedly led the way, occasionally turning back to urge everyone to walk faster.

"Oh my!" she exclaimed, pointing to the steaming building ahead, her eyes sparkling.

"Wow, it's an open-air hot spring!"

When Tong Hua stepped into the men's bath, she was pleasantly surprised!

The open-air hot spring is built against the mountain. The pool, surrounded by natural rocks, is steaming. The afterglow of the setting sun dyes the water surface golden red, making it as beautiful as a fairyland.

"Oh my!" Sweetie followed in, and with a hop, she was about to jump into the hot spring!

"Wait a moment!"

Tong Hua quickly pulled her back, "You need to shower before entering the hot spring. Also, Tian Wu Ni, you and Mini Fu are girls, so you need to go to the women's bath on the other side."

"Huh?" "Fou?"

Sweet Wu Ni tilted her head, and only realized what was happening when she and Mini Fu were dragged by Tong Hua to the door of the women's bathhouse next door.

"Oh my!"

"No, girls should stay in the women's bathhouse. Absolutely no coming over here, understand?"

"Ah-ma—" "Fufu"

Upon hearing this, Sweet Wuni had no choice but to nod obediently, and with a tearful expression, she led Mini Fu into the women's bath.

"Alright, Bubble Squirrel and Messenger Bird, come with me, let's all bubble together."

"Trembling!" "Chirp chirp!"

In the changing room, Tong Hua took off her clothes to prepare to shower. Just then, she heard the sound of wind coming from the women's bath next door.

"You two are here too? That means Tong Hua should be next door right now." Feng's voice sounded the same as usual, with a slightly lazy feel, as if he was no longer angry.

"Oh my god." Even through the high wall, Tong Hua could imagine the expression on Tian Wu Ni's face; she was probably very frustrated.

Minifox didn't react much, but since they're both Grass-type Pokémon, they probably have little resistance to hot springs. Once they soak in, they'll quickly forget all their unpleasant experiences.

Tong Hua smiled and shook her head, then began to rinse herself. The foam squirrel and the messenger bird followed suit, diligently washing themselves as well.

"Terrifying!"

After the foam squirrel's body was soaked with water, its fluffy fur became wet and clung tightly to its body.

She looks like she's lost weight.

"Chirp chirp!"

The same goes for messenger birds; their feathers become thick and cling tightly to their bodies after getting wet.

"Haha, you two look so funny." Tong Hua's hair was also plastered to his forehead, which looked just as funny to the Pokémon.

"Alright, you can go into the hot spring now."

Let me mentally prepare myself, we're going in. Three, two, one!

"Splash!"

When Tong Hua finally soaked in the hot spring, she couldn't help but sigh with relief.

The warm spring water instantly dispelled all fatigue, and the afterglow of the setting sun dyed the water surface into a charming golden-red.

"Terrifying~"

The foam squirrel carefully slid into the water, happily splashing around. The messenger bird stood in the shallows, gently stirring the warm water with its wings.

"Phew." Tong Hua couldn't help but shiver in the hot spring water, the warmth seeming to penetrate straight to her bones. "So refreshing..."

"Trembling—..."

"Chirp chirp..."

The bubble squirrel and the messenger bird both wore expressions of comfort as they floated on the water, swimming leisurely.

It was dinner time, and they were the only group of guests in the entire hot spring. It was like they had the whole place to themselves, so they could soak as much as they wanted.

"Hey, you over there! Can you hear me?"

Just then, the sound of the wind echoed through the spacious open-air hot spring. The high wall between the men's and women's baths blocked the view, but it couldn't block the sound of rushing water.

"Don't even think about peeking, or I'll have Charming Cat scratch you all like crazy!"

1. "Don't worry, we won't watch! We don't want to watch, right, Bubble Squirrel and Messenger Bird?"

"Trembling!" "Chirp chirp!"

The two Pokémon immediately nodded vigorously, and the Delibird even covered its eyes with its wings to show that it would never peek.

A satisfied voice came from next door: "That's more like it~"

The hot spring returned to quiet, with only the sound of flowing water and the occasional birdsong from the mountains.

Tong Hua leaned back against the pool, watching the sunset gradually sink below the horizon.

The bubble squirrel and the messenger bird flanked him on either side, both enjoying this rare moment of peace.

Meanwhile, in the women's bath next door...

Holding a charming cat, I sat in the hot spring pool.

Feng leaned lazily against the edge of the hot spring pool, the hot water washing over her smooth shoulders.

Charming Cat nestled comfortably against her chest, purring contentedly.

Amidst the water vapor, nitrogen, and argon, her short, brown hair clung damply to her cheeks, adding to her allure.

Slimie and Minifox were playing a little further away. Grass-type Pokémon really do love hot springs. Their leaves unfurled in the hot water, emitting a faint fragrance.

"Hmph~ Hmph hmph hmph~!"

The wind hummed a little tune, lazily stretching its long legs out of the water, water droplets rolling down its smooth skin.

Her feet were slender and fair, tinged with pink in the steam of the hot spring. Her ankles were beautifully shaped, and her ten toes were round and lovely like pearls.

She gently swung her feet, stirring the water and creating ripples. The sunlight shone on her delicate insteps, making her skin appear even more radiant and smooth.

After getting tired of playing in the water, a gentle breeze lifted hot water and poured it onto my shoulders, the water droplets sliding down my collarbone.

She looked up at the starry sky, which was half orange and half purple, and sighed contentedly, "Ah~ soaking in a hot spring is definitely the most enjoyable thing~"

"Meow~"

The charming cat meowed in agreement and gently pawed at the petals on the water's surface.

"Ah ma"

Sweet Wuni was still fantasizing about the scene on the other side of the high wall. That Foam Squirrel guy must be happily soaking in the hot spring with Tong Hua right now. "Ah!" Hearing the playful sounds coming from next door, Sweet Wuni could no longer suppress her inner impulse. She quietly swam to the other side of the wall, wanting to peek at the scene on the other side.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the high wall separating the men and women was actually made of woven bamboo.

Sweetie secretly made a small hole in the wall with a magic leaf, and Minif, held in her arms, was forced to become her accomplice.

Sweetie cautiously peeked through the small hole, only to find that Foam Chipmunk was doing the same thing on the other side!

The two Pokémon stared at each other through the hole in the wall, both startled.

"Oh my god!" "Terrifying!"

In a panic, the foam squirrel turned around and used its tail to block the hole in the wall! The wet fur on its tail suddenly bristled and got stuck in the hole.

Sweet Wu Ni was so frightened that she screamed and fell backward into the water, splashing a huge spray.

The miniature "Fufu" was affected, splashing and spinning on the water's surface like a small olive.

Hearing the commotion, Tong Hua from next door asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Are you alright, Foam Chipmunk?"

The bubble squirrel, feeling guilty for its actions, nervously clung to the wall, trying its best to cover the entrance to its hole.

Although the hole was caused by Sweetie on the other side, Bubble Squirrel didn't expose it immediately. Instead, it looked towards the other side, which is not something a good kid should do.

Over at the women's bathhouse, Feng noticed Tian Wu Ni's unusual behavior: "What are you two doing over there?"

Sweet Wuni hurriedly shook her head, pretending to play in the water, but because she was too nervous, she dived straight to the bottom—

Fortunately, neither Tong Hua nor Feng investigated further, which allowed Tian Wu Ni and Bubble Squirrel to keep their peeping a secret...
