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

"No, that's not what I meant. Don't move. Do you remember how I massaged you when we were at my house?"

"what do you mean……"

"Okay, let's stick to the old method. It's suitable for this situation, and my back won't ache too much if I sit down."

Eriri breathed a slight sigh of relief; it turned out to be just a slight change in posture.

However, they said they wanted to sit down...

Eriri tilted her head and scanned the surroundings.

There were no extra benches or anything like that near the massage bed, and there was nowhere to sit. You couldn't exactly sit on the floor, since you couldn't reach it with your hands.

So, all I could do was sit down on the edge of the massage bed...

Eriri thought so, but Saeko's thoughts were far more stimulating than hers.

Chiya Gen still hesitated and had some concerns: "Saeko, isn't it a bit inconvenient here?"

“There’s nothing inconvenient about it. The massage bed is wide enough, and it’s just the two of us right now. You already said that you’d follow my instructions for the rest of the arrangements.”

Since she had already resorted to this tactic, Yuan Qianye naturally had nothing to say.

Silence signifies tacit agreement.

At that moment, Eriri suddenly opened her eyes wide!

She witnessed the entire process of the Eiffel Tower being built, from the initial leveling of the ground to its gradual erection on the earth!

Eriri was shocked. From her perspective, she couldn't understand why things had suddenly turned out this way without any warning!

But she soon found out.

"The massage bed is covered in essential oils, so it's a bit slippery. Be good and don't move," Saeko instructed Chiya.

After receiving a nasal "hmm" in response, she turned to face Eriri.

'Come on, Eriri.' She slowly mouthed this.

Eriri had absolutely no idea what she meant.

Saeko pointed with her finger and then silently mouthed, "Sit on it."

Eriri's eyes were glazed over, and her head seemed to explode at that moment.

Volume 2: Chapter 152: His Clear Feelings (6k) (5)

Due to an unexpected accident, Saeko's initial plan was abruptly cut short in an extremely awkward and unpredictable way.

The experience lasted only about ten minutes before it had to be abruptly ended due to the sudden flood, making it impossible to continue as originally planned.

However, this is not the most difficult and tricky thing.

Having caused such a "trouble," Eriri was completely bewildered, her mind blank, and so ashamed she almost evaporated on the spot. After initially being petrified, Saeko quickly and decisively coaxed and persuaded her to leave the scene, but as for the mess left behind...

Saeko stood by the SPA massage bed, her gaze sweeping over the chaotic scene before her.

There were glistening water stains all over Qianye's body, the massage bed, and the floor.

In addition to the original aroma of essential oils, there seemed to be a subtle, indescribable scent in the air, a scent unique to a situation out of control.

Saeko couldn't help but raise her hand to her forehead, a helpless, apologetic, and slightly amused smile curving her lips.

These are a bit tricky...

No matter how comfortable and luxurious the design of a SPA room is, it obviously won't be equipped with regular cleaning tools such as mops and buckets, which are not things that guests need to worry about.

On a small table to the side, there were neatly arranged boxes of thick, soft toilet paper for guests to wipe away essential oils or sweat.

But the mess Eriri caused was really exaggerated.

I feel like that box of toilet paper wouldn't even be enough to completely dry the mattress, let alone this ocean of snot on the floor.

It would also be inappropriate to use the towels provided here for guests to wipe their bodies to wipe the floor.

In this case, it seems that the only option is to use the final solution and call the store staff to clean it up.

However, even for Saeko, who is always calm and composed no matter what happens, this situation is somewhat difficult, and her sense of shame is a great test.

It's difficult to gloss over this with a legitimate reason; it feels like no matter what you say, you'll be looked at strangely.

Just imagining that scene makes you want to dig your toes into the ground.

However... there's no other way.

Saeko took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.

From another perspective, this is a remote seaside town far from Tokyo, and she is just a tourist who is staying here for a few days. Nobody knows her.

Moreover, the staff member called in may not be the same masseur as before.

Therefore, there seems to be nothing more to say. Don't think too much about it; you can only bite the bullet and do it.

Saeko reached out her hand, ready to press the call button.

"Alright, Saeko, just leave her alone," Minamoto Chiya said at this moment.

Ignoring Saeko's earlier order not to move, he removed his blindfold, moved the steamer that was hovering above his face, and sat up.

With this movement, the water that had accumulated in his lower abdomen and the recessed area of ​​the massage bed beneath him lost its support and pressure, and some of it overflowed and flowed out again.

The drops fell along his body and the edge of the bed, dripping onto the already soaked floor, the sound particularly clear in the quiet room.

Saeko covered her face and stiffly turned her back, as if that would allow her to escape the suffocatingly awkward reality before her.

Yuan Qianye sighed silently.

Even now, they're still trying to keep up the act.

He glanced at Saeko, whose back was turned to him and whose shoulders seemed to be trembling slightly, and felt a mixture of amusement and... indescribable emotion.

If he hadn't had God's-eye view, he might have actually been fooled by her.

Teacher Yin is right. The more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to lie.

However, Saeko's "deception" was clearly more from his perspective. It was a well-intentioned concealment and a choice to bear the burden alone in order to protect the dignity and shame of another girl and to avoid bothering or embarrassing him.

Therefore, he was not angry about it at all; in fact, he felt that her thoughtfulness made him even more protective of her.

However, today's "play" and the subsequent "unexpected developments" were indeed a bit unsettling, and it was an unprecedented experience in his life.

Yuan Qianye's hands rested on the soft massage bed. Due to the applied gravity, the water flowed naturally to the low-lying areas, making his palms feel warm.

Just minutes ago, that was the temperature inside Eriri's body.

He continued speaking to Saeko, his tone reassuring: "You should go back now."

Saeko looked a little embarrassed and slowly turned her head, her timid eyes peeking out from between her fingers: "No, I have to deal with this."

"What are you planning to do?"

"Have the staff bring the cleaning tools, then I'll do it..."

"How are you, a girl, going to explain this?"

"..."

Saeko fell silent, clearly unable to think of a suitable reason.

“So,” Yuan Qianye smiled, got off the bed, and as he stood up, the water droplets on his body dripped onto the floor. “Leave this kind of thing to me.”

What are you planning to do?

"Just say that I didn't dry myself off when I came out of the shower room attached to the changing room, and I was all wet on the floor. It's a bit of a stretch, but if you're not around, it's easier to explain these things without causing any problems. Even if it did bother someone, it would just be a matter of giving them a small tip, and it's easy to resolve."

Yuan Qianye's words were clear and convincing.

A man and a woman in a relatively private space, combined with the current damp conditions, make it indeed difficult to explain away their innocence.

"Well... I'll be going now."

"Okay, leave it to me."

"I'm really, really sorry for making you like this."

Looking at Saeko's expression, Gen Chiya suddenly found it amusing. He curled his lips into a smile and said in a half-joking tone, "If I said I'm actually quite happy about this now, would you think I'm a pervert?"

Saeko couldn't help but chuckle.

The awkward atmosphere in the air eased a little.

At Minamoto Chiyo's reasonable urging, Saeko left first, leaving the mess for Minamoto Chiyo to handle.

She left the room, then thought for a moment and went back to the massage room first.

As expected, Eriri was nowhere to be seen. It seems she went straight to the hot springs again, just as she had said before.

Given that her undergarments were completely soaked, there was indeed nowhere else for her to go.

If Yukino and Utaha find out, they'll have no way of explaining themselves.

Ask the masseuse to pause for a moment. She bent down and whispered something in Rikka's ear. Rikka's face turned slightly red, and she nodded vigorously.

After dealing with things here for the time being, Saeko immediately returned to her room.

Shiyu looked at her with some surprise: "Is it over so quickly?"

She remembered that massage packages usually started at an hour, so how long had it been? Not even half an hour, right?

Yukino was making a phone call outside when she heard the voice and looked towards Saeko with a puzzled expression.

"Well, we ended it early. Eriri and I weren't used to the feeling of being massaged. We felt itchy and uncomfortable, so we decided to stop after a while and not force ourselves."

Saeko spoke so flawlessly as she reached into her bag to get clothes, and while she was at it, she also grabbed a set for Eriri.

"Also, the air conditioning in the massage room might not be strong enough, it was a bit stuffy. Eriri and I both sweated a bit and felt sticky and uncomfortable. I came here to get some clean clothes so I could take another bath to cool off. Eriri has already gone ahead."

"You really enjoy taking baths, huh? No wonder your bathtub at home is so big. If you really end up together, you'll definitely be very particular about the bathtub you choose for your new home." Shi Yu didn't notice anything unusual and joked so easily.

"Of course, I'll have to trouble you to help me scrub my back then, Shiyu."

Please don't include me in your list of potential new home residents without my consent. The future is uncertain.

"Based on the current situation, I think Shiyu, you're in a situation you can't escape for the rest of your life."

"...!"
