My daily life in love is too contrary to my character.

“Is that so?” Shiraishi Sawa shrugged and hung the snake back on its original shelf. “You’re not afraid of insects but you’re afraid of snakes, Kuramochi-san. I thought you weren’t afraid of anything.”

"How could that be!" Kuramochi Sakurai breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the model section to continue selecting. "How could anyone like snakes!"

Since we had just confirmed that the texture of these models felt great to the touch, and since we didn't need to simulate that aspect, Kuramochi Sakura then selected some soft models like caterpillars.

"Let's go, let's go back!"

After paying the bill, Kuramochi Sakura emerged with a clearly discernible joy in her eyes, walking as if she were skipping. Takanashi Yuuko, who was being led by the hand, had to quicken her pace to keep up with her.

[Kuramochi Sakura's estimated number of wins: 1]

......

Shiraishi Sawa looked at the suddenly changed number of wins with a blank expression, then looked at the jubilant girl walking in front of him. Goodness, so Kuramochi Sakura already felt like she had won?

That's good. So, if you're really scared, can you take it again?

--

"We're back."

Shiraishi Sawa entered the main gate password, walked through the apartment's main entrance, and then shouted loudly.

That's the downside of villas; if you want everyone in the villa to hear you at the entrance, you have to shout, which is definitely not as good as a small apartment.

That's why Shiraishizawa didn't buy the villa.

Welcome back.

It wasn't until the three of them reached the villa's living room that the door to Soga Kirei's room on the second floor opened, and two girls came out, leaning against the railing and greeting the people downstairs.

"You finally realized you were back. I thought you had forgotten that there were two elderly people living alone in this villa."

"Don't pretend to be all pitiful, Yiru Sang. I clearly asked you at noon if you wanted to come, and you refused."

"Don't you know that you have to keep going even after being rejected by a beautiful girl? Maybe if you say it a hundred times, Shiraishi-kun, I'll be willing to go?"

"I'm sorry, I have low emotional intelligence, I'm a straight man, but I understand, I'll definitely invite you a hundred times next time. President, how many times do you need to come back to me?"

"twice."

"Understood, I'll definitely do it next time."

Chiyo glanced quickly at Soga Kirei, but said nothing.

"Catch this!" Shiraishi Sawa Hide threw something to the second floor, and Ichiyo Ichiri caught it. It was a cartoon octopus. "A souvenir I bought for you from the zoo."

"Of course you have one too, President." Noticing Soga Kirei's gaze, Shiraishizawa Hideya took out another one from his bag and tossed it up to the second floor. "Just take this one. There's really nothing else worth buying at this zoo."

After putting the octopus back in the room, the two went downstairs.

What are you planning to eat tonight?

"As for seniors, the three of us had hot pot tonight. Anything other than hot pot for dinner is fine."

“I have a suggestion,” Shiraishi Zexiu raised his hand, “I strongly suggest we go eat bullfrog hot pot. Bullfrogs are so cute, it would be a real shame not to eat them. President and Baby Fox, do either of you have any dietary restrictions on this?”

"No, that's perfect. I didn't know what to eat either. I hate having to choose. Let's just do what you said."

Suga Muren also shook her head.

“Right,” Shiraishi Sawa nodded in satisfaction. “I also hate making choices. Only kids know how to make choices. Even a high-quality, top-notch sixteen-year-old boy would say he wants them all!”

“Here we go again,” Chiyo Ichiri rolled her eyes at Shiraishi Sawa. “Shiraishi-kun, you’re so mature sometimes and so childish sometimes. Isn’t there a saying that adults know they don’t have a choice?”

"So I'm only sixteen, somewhere between a kid and an adult, I can have it all. Okay, let's not talk about that anymore. What's up with tonight's hot spring trip? I'm sore and tired, I'm really looking forward to it."

"I'll go book a place nearby now," Kuramochi Sakura said after hearing this.

“No need,” Chiyo waved her hand to signal Kuramochi Sakura to stop. “It would be too inconvenient for you to make arrangements at this time. Soga-san and I already chose a hot spring inn in Takarazuka at noon.”

Unfortunately, since there were already some guests staying, we couldn't book the entire inn. However, I paid a little extra to have the inn provide two small to medium-sized hot springs for our use tonight.

"One is fine if you don't mind," Shiraishi Sawa added weakly.

"I'll call them right now and tell them to change it to one. As for you, Shiraishi-kun, you can just join a bunch of old men in a large men's hot spring."

"Damn it, doesn't the hotel have mixed-gender baths?"

"For mixed-gender bathing, you need to go to a special mixed-gender hot spring. I'll search for nearby ones for you."

"Wait a minute," Shiraishi Sawa Hide stepped forward and snatched Chiyo Ichiri's phone, "Could you please stop staring at me like that, ladies?"

The four girls' eyes all looked the same: I never expected you to be like this, Shiraishi Sawa.

"Of course I would never go to any mixed-gender hot springs, I swear!"

The reason is simple, as Shiraishi Sawa knows very well. Generally speaking, most people who go to mixed-gender hot springs, whether male or female, are already older, and there is absolutely no scene of a group of young and beautiful men and women together.

Meaningless!

So we're staying at a hotel tonight?

"Yes, but you don't need to bring anything. Everything has been prepared for the hot spring accommodations."

Furthermore, I emphasized that if I paid extra, they would replace all the sheets, bathrobes, and other items with brand new ones, so I wouldn't have to worry about them being used by others.

So if you really want to bring something, just bring a change of clothes, and your own phone charging cable, etc.

That's too extravagant. With money, you really can do whatever you want.

However, only Hideaki Shiraishi and Yuko Takanashi felt this way; the others seemed to take such behavior for granted.

Chiyo and Soga Kirei had already packed their things, and seeing this, the remaining three didn't linger any longer and went upstairs to prepare their own things.

--

"Where are you going, Ichiyori?" Shiraishi Sawa Hide saw Ichiyori Chiyo walking outside as he came downstairs.

"I have something to do outside, I'll be back in ten minutes." Chiyo turned around and gave a sly smile.

"Do you need any help? What could you possibly be doing here?" Shiraishi Zexiu was completely bewildered, a hint of worry in his eyes. "Is Uncle Ichijū here?"

"It's nothing, just a small thing. I'm missing something, I'll go out and buy it. Don't worry." Chiyo didn't say anything more, and after changing her shoes, she waved to Shiraishi Sawa and left.

"President, do you know what Yi Rusang is doing?"

Shiraishi Sawa looked at Soga Kirei, who was sitting down.

"I don't know either. She suddenly stopped talking and didn't look at her phone or anything. She seemed to be thinking about something, and then she went out."

"Forget it, I won't try to guess what women are thinking; I'd never get it right anyway."

"For example, you can't figure out what your online friends are thinking, right?"

“Don’t reopen old wounds, but,” Shiraishi Sawa walked over to Ali and sat down next to Soga Kirei, handing her his phone with a hint of smugness on his face, “it’s not so bad after all. Look, I’ve been chatting with her a lot this afternoon, and this chatterbox has finally become normal again.”

"It's not good for Shiraishi to talk badly about others behind their backs."

“It’s okay. We’ve known each other for so many years. I’ve told her many times on Line that she’s a chatterbox. She was actually much quieter today. She used to be much more talkative.”

If you ask me, President, you just don't talk enough. It would be better if you balanced things out with Bored Guy.

Soga no Kirei simply smiled faintly and nodded.

"I will do my best, Shiraishi-kun."

Kuramochi Sakura had already come down from the second floor. Seeing that only Shiraishi Sawa and Soga Kiriren were downstairs, she quickly asked:

Where did that wicked woman, Chiyo, go?

"I don't know. I just said in a hurry that I was going out for ten minutes, and I don't know where I went."

"It's okay, I can't wait."

Kuramochi Sakura put a change of clothes into the souvenir bag that she had just tossed on the sofa.

Looking at Kuramochi Sakura with a strange smile on her face and fiddling with the bag, Shiraishi Sawa knew that the girl was probably daydreaming while stroking the insect doll.

Takanashi Yuuko soon got ready and returned to the first floor.

Chiyo did not lie to Shiraishi Sawa. She returned about seven or eight minutes after leaving. Since she had only taken a bag with her when she went out, Shiraishi Sawa did not know what she had bought.

"Everyone's here, let's go."

While Chiyo was away, the group had already chosen a well-known bullfrog restaurant in Takarazuka.

--

"Burp, I always end up finishing up. Although bullfrog is really delicious, please don't order so much next time." After putting the last piece of rice cake in the bullfrog hot pot into his mouth, Shiraishi Zexiu said to the four girls around him.

Or rather, the focus was on Kuramochi Sakura, because Shiraishi Sawa Hide was always facing her as he spoke.

"Okay, I'll do it next time."

“Kuramochi-san, you mimic me saying ‘next time’, which makes it hard for me to trust you.”

"Hehe, let's go soak in the hot springs! Let's split up and take taxis, just like we did when we came!"

--

The car didn't take the five people directly to the entrance of the hot spring hotel, because the hotel's main feature is its natural hot springs. The hotel is located halfway up a mountain, and the car can't go directly there; you have to walk a distance.

"Why are you looking at me like that, Ichiyori? Just say what you want to say." Shiraishi Sawa Hide felt uneasy under Ichiyori Chiyo's gaze.

"Shiraishi-kun, don't you think that if we want to see the sunrise, tomorrow morning would be better than this morning?"

After all, tomorrow I just need to get up early and I'll already be on the mountain, unlike today where I climbed the mountain once during the day and now I have to climb it again.

"But... I didn't choose this hot spring hotel."

Chiyo's gaze suddenly sharpened upon entering.

Shiraishi Sawa looked at Chiyo, who was panting heavily and looked tired, and felt a little embarrassed.

Many hot spring hotels are located in the mountains, which was indeed something I hadn't considered carefully, so I said:

"Okay, it's my fault, even if I owe you again..."

Halfway through his sentence, Shiraishi Sawa looked at Soga Kirei, who was walking steadily beside him. Something was wrong. The president's stamina was much lower than the fox's!

Upon entering Chiyo, Shiraishizawa Hide hesitated, not saying what he wanted to hear, and urged:

"What do you owe me? Tell me quickly, I've worked so hard."

"What do you owe? We don't owe anything. There's only one truth: you were faking your panting."

"Oh, I've been found out." Chiyo instantly reverted to her normal self. "Looks like it's not convincing enough that I'm the only one panting. I should have called Soga along. Damn it."
