In crossover anime, who isn't a childhood friend?

But Eriri quickly became confused again: "But even if the two of them can be basically sure, there's still no way to deal with Rikka, right?"

Given Rikka's love of joining in the fun, she would never miss such a group activity.

“Indeed, given Rikka’s personality, she will definitely choose to come with us. But don’t worry about her, her situation is easy to handle. Let’s put her situation aside for now and discuss the next steps, which is also the most important part: the opportunity I just mentioned that I helped you create.”

"Gulp..." Eriri swallowed nervously, feeling her throat dry and her heart beating even faster.

What exactly is this "opportunity"?

The Saeko before her, whose eyes were always gentle and smiling, now seemed to gleam with a calm and sharp light.

She exuded a powerful aura of wisdom and control, completely different from her usual virtuous and gentle demeanor.

She analyzed things meticulously and proceeded step by step, as if everything was within her expectations and calculations, which led Eriri to imagine the wise and loyal Mr. Zhuge.

Eriri suddenly felt that at this moment, she seemed to have a deeper understanding of "Saeko Busujima" in a true sense!

"Do you remember last night?" Saeko suddenly asked, pulling Eriri back from her brief reverie.

Eriri's face instantly turned bright red, but she still managed to suppress her embarrassment and nodded.

Although the light was dim and the distance was not very close, she was unable to see every detail clearly.

But that atmosphere, mixed with the sounds and those fleeting glimpses of images, is probably the most shocking memory she will never be able to completely erase from her mind.

"We remained absolutely silent and did not make any noise that might attract attention. However, because they were in a dimly lit environment, Qianye and Shiyu's vision was greatly obstructed, and their most direct sense of sight was significantly limited."

Therefore, they were completely unaware of our presence and continued... focused intently until the very end.

And I was inspired by this and came up with a really good idea.

"We can use massage to subtly obstruct Qianye's vision, sealing off his most direct senses of the outside world."

As Saeko spoke, she raised one hand to cover her eyes, using herself as a demonstration.

"In that situation, he cannot see his surroundings or who is next to him, and his senses will rely more on hearing, touch, and... imagination."

Then, taking advantage of this opportunity, Eriri, you can smoothly approach him without his knowledge, preserving your self-esteem and sense of security, and 'confirm' something about him that you've always been curious about but haven't been able to act on, something you want to feel.

“Saeko-nee, could it be that you want to…” Eriri understood Saeko’s subtext, and her heart almost jumped out of her throat!

This plan is incredibly audacious! During a massage?!

But there will still be other people there! Even if we don't consider Rikka, there are still the masseuses! What are we going to do with those people?

"Don't worry." Saeko seemed to see through Eriri's worries, lowering her hand from her eyes and revealing that reassuring, gentle smile again.

"I have carefully researched the massage procedures and room setup of this hotel online beforehand and done my homework. As long as everything in the beginning goes smoothly and is properly arranged, there will be no unexpected problems at the most crucial moment. I can assure you of that."

Her tone was firm, carrying a power that compelled people to believe her.

"The key is Eriri, have you really made up your mind?"

"I...I...I don't want to back down anymore!"

“Very good. Then, leave the rest to me.”

Eriri's memory was abruptly interrupted when Rikka suddenly excitedly approached her, grabbed her arm, pointed to the dry landscape sand table, and exclaimed, "Eri, look how exquisite this is!"

Right next to her, the waitress was also drawing to a close as she gave Saeko Busujima a detailed introduction to the exclusive tranquility package.

"...Finally, there's one more thing to note about our premium massage packages. Since essential oils are used for a full-body massage during the process, if a customer wants to order this package for a friend, they will need to go to a dedicated spa room later."

"Ah." Rikka stopped her casual conversation with Eriri and interjected with concern, "So, my brother won't be able to come with us later?"

The waiter respectfully explained, "It's like this. The services you've ordered are basic full-body massages, without any additional services, so the beds here are fine. Services that require essential oils need to be done on a special massage bed, otherwise the essential oils will get all over the sheets and be difficult to clean."

"I see... So, if that's the case, then because we're going to use essential oils, my brother will have to take off all his clothes later?" Rikka asked, blushing as she realized something.

"Rikka!" Eriri quickly pulled her aside. This girl doesn't care whether it's appropriate or not; she dares to ask any sensitive questions!

The waiter, being experienced and knowledgeable, didn't mind and continued to explain professionally: "The clothes will indeed be taken off, but not completely. We will provide disposable underwear for guests to change into, so there's no need to worry about privacy."

“Alright, I understand.” Saeko chimed in at the opportune moment: “Then let’s arrange this meal for my friend. As for our side…”

She looked at Eriri and Rikka, and after they both nodded, she continued, "Let's begin here."

"Of course, no problem."

"Please arrange female therapists for us," Saeko specifically requested.

Unlike Yukino, she was not extremely resistant to massages, but she would never allow a man to touch her body.

"Of course, I'll make arrangements for you right now. Please wait a moment. The projector here can play various TV programs. In addition, we also provide free snacks and tea. What kind of tea would you like to drink? We offer sencha, gyokuro, matcha, and genmaicha."

The three people each stated their needs, and the waiter bowed and withdrew.

"Oh my, I'm getting more and more excited." Rikka kicked off her slippers, her little feet kicking excitedly back and forth on the massage bed.

Saeko's gaze met Eriri's subtly, and she nodded slightly.

Eriri responded with the same gesture, unconsciously clenching her hands.

The plan... has really begun.

Will things really go as smoothly as Saeko-san "guaranteed"?

she does not know.

All she knew was that she had no way out now.

Or rather, she simply didn't want to back down anymore.

On the other hand, Yuan Qianye was leisurely soaking in the hot spring until his head was a little hot before he slowly got out of the pool.

He rinsed his body with warm water, dried it off, and changed into a clean bathrobe. He felt completely relaxed and refreshed.

Back in the suite, I pushed open the door.

Yukino Yukinoshita was sitting at the coffee table reading a book, while Utaha Kasumigaoka was still sprawled on the recliner, the two keeping to themselves.

"I'm back," Yuan Qianye greeted.

Yukino looked up at him and said in a calm tone, "Saeko-senpai and the others went for a massage. They told you to go find them when you get back. They didn't say their room number, but you can ask them when you get there."

"Massage?" Yuan Qianye raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised, but then understood: "Okay, I got it."

He walked over to Shiyu, bent down, and looked at her still lazy appearance, and couldn't help but laugh, "Really not going? I heard it's very comfortable."

Shi Yu didn't even bother to lift her eyelids, only letting out a weak hum through her nose as a response.

Yuan Qianye stopped teasing her, humming a tuneless little tune in a good mood, and turned to leave the suite, finding the room where they were.

After pushing the door open, I saw that they had already installed it on their side.

Each of the three men had a female therapist beside them, and all three appeared to be enjoying themselves.

Yuan Qianye chuckled and said, "It's already begun."

Saeko looked up upon hearing this: "Ah, Chiya, you've come."

"Is that bed at the very back reserved for me?" Yuan Qianye prepared to walk inside.

Saeko quickly stopped him, saying, "No, I booked a full-body spa for you. You need to go to another room."

Yuan Qianye shook his head: "No need for that. I'll just do the same project as you guys."

"Everything has been arranged in advance for you. You've worked hard these past few days, so this is my reward for you." Saeko looked up, her words carrying a deeper meaning: "Don't be shy, just enjoy yourself."

…………

Volume 2: Chapter 150: I'll get you warm soon~

In the end, Chiya gave in to Saeko and obediently turned around and went to the room that had been specially prepared for him to do a full-body essential oil spa.

The room here is a bit smaller, but it only has a massage bed, so visually it feels more spacious than Saeko's room.

A female therapist had been waiting for him for a long time, and as soon as he arrived, she immediately guided him through the subsequent service steps.

First, you need to go into the room's own changing room to take off your clothes.

Then they changed into the specially provided disposable underwear.

In the past, due to kendo training or work fatigue, Yuan Qianye had gone out for massages many times, but this was the first time she had received an advanced service like essential oil spa.

This experience of being almost completely naked made him feel quite ashamed.

He couldn't convince himself to think of it as wearing a swimsuit on the beach or in a swimming pool.

The reason is simple: disposable underwear is very thin and cannot provide the same secure coverage and sense of security as well-made swim trunks.

He now understood why Saeko and Shiwa seemed a little reserved at first when they put on the sexy lingerie they bought with him while shopping, and why they all immediately asked him to turn off the main lights in the room.

It's true that it's human nature to be so shameless; it really tests how thick-skinned one is.

After getting ready in the locker room, Gen Chiya walked out shirtless.

The male physique was so impressive that the female masseuse's eyes lit up. She felt like it was her lucky day. If she could serve a customer of this caliber every day, she would be willing to give herself to him!

After asking the guest's preference, and finding that they didn't want to continue soaking their feet since they had just finished soaking in the hot spring, she directly gestured for the guest to lie down on the massage bed.

As she explained her services, she put a disposable eye mask on Yuan Qianye and adjusted the steaming eye compress device to hover right in front of his eyes.

After disinfecting your hands, apply the essential oil to your palms and rub it in. Then, gently place it on Yuan Qianye's skin to begin the next service procedure.

Hmm... I have to say, the kid's arrangements were really thoughtful. Putting aside the price, this set meal was indeed quite comfortable.

As Yuan Qianye listened to the soothing music, he completely relaxed and began to enjoy it.

On the other side, in a massage room with three ladies.

Saeko, Eriri, and Rikka lay prone on the massage bed, burying their faces in the small ventilation holes, comfortably enjoying themselves as guests.

Everything proceeded as usual until twenty minutes later—

"Hmm..." During the normal massage, Yako suddenly moved her body and made a sound.

The female masseuse immediately understood and stopped what she was doing, asking, "Sir, was I using too much force?"

"No, no, it's because I drank too much water earlier and needed to go to the bathroom."

"No problem, just turn right after leaving the room and you'll find the women's restroom on your right."
