Regarding the fact that my best friend is a magical girl

"No, something must have happened here."

Seruno chimed in, "It's really nothing, Miss Sirius, please don't ask any more questions."

The marina where the yachts dock is exclusively for the hot spring resort, and the nearby clean beaches are also part of the resort, where you can also visit. However, having grown tired of the sand on Nabu Island, everyone's interest was focused on the hot springs.

"It's a Japanese-style hot spring?"

The impressive three-story solid wood building occupies a larger area than Sirius's island mansion. Its Japanese-style architectural structure gives people a sense of time travel, as if they have flown from Hawaii to Hokkaido in the west.

Sirius explained, "There are many Japanese people in Hawaii, you all noticed that while you were touring, right?"

"Hmm, there are also many students dressed as students, probably here on a school trip?"

"During the bubble economy, Japanese businessmen had incredible purchasing power, buying up almost all of Hawaii's commercial real estate. Even after the bubble burst, the land was still there, so you can still see many Japanese people in Hawaii. This hot spring is no exception."

A Japanese maidservant dressed in a light yukata lifted the curtain for us. There was a shoe cabinet or similar place at the entrance, and we had to take off our shoes before entering the main hall of the hot spring.

"Oh! Zara!"

"Gah!"

Beautiful girls dressed in various colored yukatas gathered together. Taking off their maid outfits reduced the sense of uniformity, but made them even more diverse and vibrant.

"Oh dear? What is this...?"

Even Spica was a little surprised. Sirius explained, "Since the mansion is already burned down, let them come and play too, so you all won't think I'm abusing these children... Um, Mary! Go put your underwear on!"

As if noticing something, Sirius excitedly rushed toward a handsome maid with black hair but yellow highlights at the ends.

Although we had just entered, Yin Wei had already taken care of everything, so we didn't need to do anything; we just needed to wait to soak in the hot spring.

However, we still need to be consulted regarding room allocation.

"The rooms at the hot spring resort are still double rooms, Serino, who are you planning to sleep with tonight?"

Yin Wei's question was like asking Seruno which card she wanted to choose.

"Well?"

Seruno hesitated.

Therefore, Yin Wei gave Seruno two bracelets, which could open the door to the same guest room.

"Here, take this. Give the other bracelet to whoever you want to sleep with."

"Then..."

Because of what just happened, she seemed reluctant to choose me.

“…Miluno, perhaps.”

But in the end, they still handed the bracelet to me.

Although I don't quite understand her thinking, overall, things are developing in the direction I hoped for.

"Thank you."

I took her hand.

"Let's rest in our guest rooms first, and then we'll go soak in the hot springs."

While distributing wristbands to the others, Yin Wei reminded them, "Before you go back to your rooms, go to the front desk and get two sets of bathrobes."

I nodded.

Sirius added, "Serno-chan, this place is already booked, so there's no need for any more pretense."

She was referring to Serono's hair.

boom--

She shed her disguise after most of the day, and her straight black hair bounced up gently, turning back into fluffy, soft pink hair.

Her lovely appearance immediately caught the attention of the maids at the hot spring resort.

"Serno-chan~ Keep smiling," Sirius, the talent show mentor, reminded her.

"Oh, um!"

As a magical girl determined to debut as an idol, she needs to show her best side to ordinary people.

Yes.

She chose to greet the Japanese maids who surrounded her with a smile.

Chapter Fifty-Nine: Confession

(Sun Yao)

"Wang!"

After overcoming countless hardships, they finally arrived at the sanctuary called the guest room. The Golden Ship followed them in, and Milno, holding a yukata, locked the door, keeping the star-struck maids outside.

"You have fans even here now, you're really popular, rising idol magical girl."

I don't know if it's just my imagination, but Miluno's words always sound a bit sour.

"There's nothing to envy; this is simply a disaster."

Being popular should be a happy thing, but now I only feel annoyed.

Conversely, it was exhausting to smile at the maids. Since we couldn't communicate, I could only take their words as compliments. The muscles in my face were stiff and cramping. I was constantly asked to take photos and get autographs. My tired mind started to suffer from neurasthenia. My path to becoming an idol was fraught with difficulties, and I didn't even want to step out of my room.

But no, how can you come here and not soak in the hot springs?

The round floor-to-ceiling windows are decorated with lush green ornamental bamboo, but no matter how Japanese the interior decoration is, it cannot change the fact that this is Hawaii. A faint smell of sulfur wafts in the air, which comes not only from the hot springs, but also from the fact that the balcony faces an active volcano.

There was no luggage to pack, and after resting for a while, Miluno said, "Let's go, we should go soak in the hot springs."

"OK!"

I realized that I was not worthy to go in with her.

why?

Because I'm a boy!

"what happened?"

"Mi-Miluno, why don't you go to the bar first?"

But I don't want her to know this. She definitely wouldn't be able to accept the real me, would she? I don't want to endure the estrangement that comes with knowing, and I can't bear it...

"why?"

I hugged the Golden Ship.

"Golden Ship and I will just stay in the guest room bathroom and take a shower!"

"If Ah Huang can't soak, why can't you either? How can you come to a hot spring and not soak?"

It would be really strange not to go, wouldn't it?

What should I do if I accidentally see something...?

"Stop hesitating, let's go."

A pair of hands pushed me forward, and I was half-pushed and half-forced out the door.

We can only take it one step at a time.

The hot spring pool is enclosed by a glass curtain wall. The groundwater, heated by volcanic geothermal activity, is transformed into an inexhaustible hot spring.

A changing room is unnecessary for a magical girl who has her own wardrobe. Although I was shy, I still took off my clothes in front of Milno.

"Can I wear a swimsuit to a hot spring?"

"What are you thinking? Of course, that's not allowed."

Milno also took off her clothes, but compared to my bashfulness, she was much more open. Only someone who is confident in their body can show themselves like that...

My figure is pretty good, but my appearance doesn't match my inner and outer features.

"Has no one else arrived yet?" I asked.

Not just Miluno, I feel guilty whenever I see anyone.

"It looks like it's just the two of us."

Milno wasn't paying attention to me either; she had already peeked into the shower area in front of the hot springs, where she had to clean herself up before stepping into the hot springs.

Thankfully... the shower area has individual stalls, which gave me some relief.

Hot water gushed from the showerhead and cascaded down from above, before it even reached her ankles, when Miluno said, "I'm done washing, I'm going in now."

Wow, that was fast! She must have used speed magic, right?

It's good that they enter one after the other. If Milno is already sitting in the hot spring, then under the cover of the spring water, I won't easily see anything I shouldn't see.

"call……"

I tied my hair up with my bare hands and secured it with bubble wrap. Because my hair was naturally fluffy, even when wrapped up, it was still a big clump. I shook my head to make sure there was no risk of it coming undone before carefully leaving the shower area and scooping up a ladle of water from the warm pool in front of the hot spring and pouring it over myself.

This is to regulate body temperature to adapt to the temperature of the hot spring.

But it was just a formality, because the air conditioning was a bit too cold.

To allow people to experience the temperature difference of the spring water, the air conditioning in the hot spring area is probably only in the teens or even single digits. The misty water vapor floating on the surface of the water makes Miluno look like a fairy afterwards.

"...I'm coming in."

Stepping into the pool, I felt a bit hot for a moment because of the temperature difference.

“Come to me,” Miluno beckoned.

Although this hot spring only has one large pool, the water temperature varies greatly depending on the distance from the spring source. Miluno was sitting on the outer side, so it seems she couldn't withstand the high temperature.

She was resting with her eyes closed, her arms crossed over her chest to cover her private parts.

However, Miluno, with her hair simply tied up, also gave me a fresh and stunning feeling. Her fair nape was revealed beneath her long hair, and glistening droplets of water or sweat rolled off it and disappeared into the steaming water.

Further down...

You shouldn't look any further.

I followed Miluno's example and closed my eyes in the spring, but...
