Sachiko-nee's complaints are certainly justified. Why did you, Kurisu Kirikawa, have to get involved?

"Xiao Si, come here!" Qi Chuan Li leaned against the car door and waved affectionately, looking like she had some treasure to show him.

“…I’m not going!” Tsukasa Tazaki stopped in his tracks.

Don't go near her tonight, or you'll be in for a world of hurt.

Are you sure you don't want to come?

Kikawa Kurita sneered, his eyes narrowing into two long, narrow phoenix eyes.

“Tazaki-kun.” Sachiko Tono was even more direct. She got off the bus, put her hands on Tsukasa Tazaki’s arms, and escorted him to the car.

"Hey, Sachiko-nee... wait a minute, let me make this clear first, tonight is just a hot spring bath, and also, Auntie isn't allowed in my bath!"

Sachiko Tono replied bluntly, "Kuriko paid for it, so she gets to decide how it goes."

"Yui..." Tsukasa Tazaki looked to his older brother for help.

"You decide for yourself," Yui Kikawa threatened before climbing into the back seat of the Cullinan.

Before he could speak, Kuriyama Sakura said, "I'm just taking a soak in the hot spring, nothing else concerns me."

After saying that, she got into the car.

Sachiko Tono helped Tsukasa Tazaki into the passenger seat, and then she went to the back seat herself.

With a "whoosh," Kurisu Kawakami stepped on the gas, a sinister smile on her face, and the massive Cullinan sped off, heading towards the hot spring inn.

Come on then...

Tsukasa Tazaki steeled his resolve, thinking, "Who's afraid of who?"

Anyway, no matter what happens, I won't suffer any losses. Let's see what Kurisu Kirikawa can do to me!

Upon arriving at the hot spring inn, Tsukasa Tazaki parted ways with them in front of the changing room, took a bath alone in the men's changing room, then wrapped himself in a towel and was led to the hot spring pool by a waiter.

This is an open-air pool with whitish natural hot spring water. Each pool and the surrounding pools are separated by potted plants and rustic ground lamps to keep the view between them separate.

Looking directly out, there is a wide valley, with lights on in many places, offering a particularly good view.

It's not mixed bathing...

While Tazaki Tsukasa breathed a sigh of relief, he also felt a little regretful.

I took off my yukata and entered the hot spring pool naked. The water was a little hot. However, since it was an open-air pool, the temperature was still quite cold at the end of January. Soaking in the hot spring water was incredibly comfortable.

Tsukasa Tazaki let out a comfortable sigh and stretched out his limbs.

Just then, he heard footsteps from the next pool, and their laughter drifted over. He quietly swam to the fence in the middle and eavesdropped on their conversation.

Chapter 348 Hot Spring Night

In the dim, steaming heat, the women's full, rounded, and hazy bodies soaked in the murky hot spring water.

Through the extremely narrow gap in the bamboo railing, Tazaki Tsukasa could only vaguely see where Kuriyama Sakura was. Her head was resting on a stone by the pool, her long legs and small, delicate breasts were submerged in the hot spring water, and only the fair skin above her collarbone was exposed.

As the steam rose, she let out a comfortable sigh, her cheeks visibly flushing, her cherry-like lips and long eyelashes appearing vividly in view as if she had been reborn.

Tsukasa Tazaki couldn't help but smile.

The Minister is really beautiful.

Whether it's her soft, delicate ears, her snow-white swan neck, or her exquisite collarbone, any part of her body, just by looking at it, makes one's teeth itch and want to bite her... This impulse makes Tsukasa Tazaki wish he could turn over right now and pull her into his arms.

Just then, Kurisu's voice suddenly came.

"Hey, do you guys think Xiao Si might be spying on us from next door?"

Then, she shouted even louder, "Xiao Si, did you hear what your aunt said? You can come right over."

Tazaki Tsukasa was so frightened that his heart stopped for a few seconds, and he frantically pulled his head into the water.

The splashing sound reached the opposite pool, drawing laughter from the four women.

"You little brat who has the guts to watch but not the guts to act!" Kurisu twisted her lips and mocked him, then rested her head on the natural rock by the pool and comfortably hummed in agreement.

A very charming voice, the kind that imitates the tone of a young wife during foreplay.

On a cold winter night, the hot spring water was especially warm, and with a cold wind blowing around, it felt so comfortable to soak in the hot spring.

At that moment, the waitress brought in dinner.

The meal was quite substantial, featuring pickled vegetables, sashimi, fried foods, as well as a mixed hot pot and sake juice.

"It's the off-season now, and these are all the ingredients we have. Please make do with what we have," the waitress said apologetically.

Kurisu waved her hand lazily: "Go down, don't disturb us."

"Please ring the bell if you need anything." The waitress bowed before leaving the poolside.

"Sachiko, come here," Kurisu Kawa pulled Sachiko Tono's arm, drew her to his side, and handed her a glass of wine. "Tonight, we're not leaving until we're drunk!"

Sachiko Tono, who was staring absentmindedly at the pool next door, subconsciously hummed "Hmm?" Then she opened her mouth and let her feed her a sip of wine, before her gaze returned to the spot where she had been standing.

"Hey, hey, hey," Kurisu Kuri protested, annoyed. "Why are you staring at him? Am I not pretty enough?"

"That's enough."

"Then look at me, look at me, look at me!"

Despite her age, she still acts like a jealous little girl. Yui Kichikawa rolled her eyes, turned around, parted the water, and came to Kuriyama Sakura's side.

"Compared to the two of them, you don't seem so annoying anymore."

Kuriyama Sakura's gaze lingered subtly on the blonde girl's well-endowed chest before she shook her head and said, "But you're even more annoying than the two of them."

"You." Qi Chuanwei felt a lump in her throat, about to retort, but then she immediately realized what she was doing and puffed out her chest with a smile.

With a whoosh, glistening water droplets slid off the graceful curves, shining brightly under the light.

“…Childish!” Kuriyama Sakura retreated into the water as if trying to escape, blowing bubbles.

Kikawa Yui curled her lips smugly.

Her golden hair shone, highlighting her beautiful face, which was radiant, noble yet alluring, an exceptionally beautiful fallen saintess.

"Ahhh, Yui's figure has gotten even better!" Kurisu swam over and hugged her daughter's waist from behind. "Quickly tell Mommy, is this all thanks to Tsukasa?"

"Mom!" Yui Kichikawa frowned and scolded.

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about this." Kurisu chuckled and swam back to Sachiko Tono's side. "It's not like you're all alone. Mom and Sachiko can go discuss it."

Sachiko Tono was both annoyed and amused.

Because of Kurisu Kawakami's insistence, her wish to go next door to soak in the hot spring with Tsukasa Tazaki had to be temporarily put on hold.

Steam rose up, mingling with the soft lighting, and the sight of fair skin and beautiful women pressed together made it hard to breathe.

As if she had some premeditated plan, Kurisu kept pouring hot sake for Sachiko Tono, and the two drank together, exchanging cups. Gradually, they became drunk and their eyes became blurry.

The two girls next door were very quiet, both of them resting their heads on stones and looking out at the mountains and forests outside the hot spring.

The dark, towering mountains, like sharp swords, told people it was a cold winter night. Amidst this oppressive darkness, scattered lights from farmhouses added a touch of warmth and comfort.

The sound of rushing water came from the bamboo fence; it was Tsukasa Tazaki making the noise. In addition, there was the whistling of the mountain wind blowing through the forest.

Whenever the mountain wind blows, the shoulders exposed above the water feel chilly. Kuriyama Sakura couldn't stand it, so she pulled her neck into the water, leaving only her small head above the surface.

This pose is quite cute, and Yui Kikawa couldn't help but reach out and cup her cheeks, rubbing them vigorously a few times.

"Hmm~ Let go!" Kuriyama Sakura shook her head angrily.

"Let's see how you dodge." Kikawa Yui scooped up some hot spring water with both hands and poured it over her head.

Kuriyama Sakura was taken aback.

After her hair was wet, her originally styled bun looked particularly alluring, blending a geisha-like charm with the air of a noble young lady, all concentrated on this sixteen-year-old girl. Her cheeks were flushed like apples from the heat, and her round eyes, framed by her sharply defined double eyelids, darted around in a puzzled manner.

“Haha,” Yui Kikawa laughed smugly, “It’s quite satisfying to bully Tsukasa Tazaki’s most respected department head right under his nose.”

"you……"

Kuriyama Sakura opened her mouth, her expression a mixture of amusement and exasperation.

"Hey, hey, hey, you two, don't fight." Kurisu Kawakami held up a cup in one hand and casually put the other hand on Sachiko Tono's shoulder. "You're going to marry the same man in the future, so don't hurt your feelings."

Kuriyama Sakura frowned slightly.

But before she could refute, Qichuan Wei's slightly sharp voice rang out first.

"If you want to marry him so badly, go ahead and marry him yourself! I'm not going to marry that bastard!"

"Eh?"

Kurisu Kikkawa was slightly taken aback, then a delighted smile appeared on her face.

Is it really possible?

"Is Xiaowei trying to comfort her mother?"

"Mom really will get married, you mean you're planning to call Xiao Si 'Dad'?"

Sichuan Yui: "..."

The three shameless questions completely stunned the blonde girl.

From the next pool, came the sound of water churning. Kuriyama Sakura could already imagine Tazaki Tsukasa rolling around with joy on the other side.

"I'm not soaking anymore!"
