I have bound two systems.

"What a scumbag, he can actually say it so naturally."

Ichichi Xingge's face was full of contempt.

"You were the one who asked me."

Chisato Suzumiya felt very aggrieved.

"That doesn't change your nature as a scumbag. Although I noticed your nature a long time ago, as expected... I still can't get used to it completely."

"…I didn't plan on doing anything with her. I just wanted her to come to my room and we could watch a movie together."

"Then as I watched, I felt... something was wrong. Then it was all the usual parts, right? I just hugged her without moving around, I just moved around without going in, I just went in for a while and came out quickly... and so on."

Ijichi Hoshige's voice became smaller and smaller, and at the end he simply turned his head to the other side.

Suzumiya Chisato was speechless after hearing this. What the hell was going on?

If she hadn't heard Hong Xia say privately that her sister was a perennial bachelor who had never had a boyfriend since she was a child, and even as far as she knew, her sister had never held hands with a man other than a relative, Suzumiya Chisato would have thought that she had been fooled by someone, after all, it sounded too immersive.

"Really? I just wanted to make up for my neglect of Yili some time ago. It's not that complicated."

"When did you ignore her? How come I didn't know?"

"This...it's a long story."

"Forget it, I shouldn't have asked too much. It's a private matter between you two. It's just that..."

Ichichi Hoshige lowered her voice again and came closer to say,

"The band is now much more famous than before. You have to be careful about everything you do. Don't let reporters secretly take pictures of you and cause trouble."

"Don't worry, I know this very well. I won't do anything rash that would cause trouble for them or bring them unnecessary harm."

"It's not just them. As the president who pushed the band to end its sudden popularity, there might be quite a lot of eyes watching you right now. You should also be careful not to do anything out of line in public."

"……kindness."

Suzumiya Chisato took a shallow breath and nodded.

"As long as you know."

All that needed to be said was said, and after Yidizhi Xingge finished his instructions, he said no more.

She took out her earphones and plugged them into her phone to listen to music, and Chisato Suzumiya casually took one of the earphones and put it on her own ear, bringing the two of them closer together.

Ichichi Xingge glanced at him and said nothing about his rude and familiar behavior.

After that, there was no conversation between the two along the way, and soon they arrived at their destination, a hotel near the Sapporo Ski Resort located in the mountains.

Chisato Suzumiya booked a total of four rooms online in advance. According to his original plan, the four people who had finished the band would be divided into two rooms, and he and Ijichi Hoshika would each stay in one room, which was just right.

But now that Eriri and Shiwa have also come along, and considering what Ichichi Hoshige just told him, he feels that it is more than necessary to book an extra room for them.

After being received by the hotel staff, Chisato Suzumiya went to the hotel front desk alone to check in. The band and Ijichi Hoshika were taken to their rooms by the waiter in a good mood.

"call--"

Throwing the shoulder bag on the sofa, Yijizhi Xingge came to the large floor-to-ceiling window with a wide view, looked at the beautiful scenery covered in snow outside, stretched lazily, and let out a long sigh of excitement.

She took out her cell phone to take a photo as a souvenir.

Before she had rested for long, there was a knock on the door. She walked over to open it, and outside, as expected, were the four members of the band.

The night before they set off, they were repeatedly reminded by Ijichi Xingge to wear masks. After all, they are now well-known figures to some extent, and being recognized and approached or having their photos taken secretly would be quite troublesome. In order to have fun when going out, it is best to take precautions in advance to avoid these.

However, they were now in a hotel room, so there was no need for this. They took off their masks one after another and walked around Ijichi Xingge's room excitedly, looking around.

"So cunning, my sister's room is so much bigger than ours. Not only does it have a private balcony and a projector, but it also has such a big bed."

Ichichi Hongxia threw herself onto the bed in the middle and rolled around holding the pillow, like a silly roe deer rolling in the snow.

"A bed is just a place to rest and sleep. What's the difference between a big one and a small one? And take off your shoes."

"Don't worry, I made sure to stretch my legs out, so they won't get dirty."

Yamada Ryo opened the refrigerator next to the projection screen and exclaimed,

“There are so many snacks and cakes.”

As he said that, he reached out to take it.

As soon as Ichichi Hoshige pulled her reluctant sister out of bed, she immediately ran to Yamada Ryo and rubbed her head hard, stopping her from opening the snacks in her hand.

"We'll be going to the restaurant for lunch soon after Suzumiya comes back, so just bear with it for a while."

"Oh……"

After dealing with her, Kita Ikuyo's scream came from the bathroom.

"Sister Xingge, there is such a big bathtub in your room. It feels like it can accommodate several people to take a bath together."

When the others heard her voice, they came over together. Indeed, the situation was just as she said. Two-thirds of the bathroom space was occupied by an extra-large bathtub, which seemed to be big enough for three or four people to take a bath together.

That’s not all…

Yamada Ryo leaned over and pulled open the curtains.

"Oh!"

After the band finished, the three members expressed sincere admiration for the wonderful scenery outside the transparent glass window revealed through the curtains.

They can all imagine how comfortable it is to bury their bodies under the hot water at night, with a fruit plate beside them, and leisurely take a bath while lazily looking at the scenery outside the window.

"I have a suggestion. Let's go take a bath together at my sister's place tonight."

Ijichi Kouka raised her hand.

"it is good!"

"Seconded."

Kita Ikuyo and Yamada Ryo also agreed.

"Second what? Second, the plan for tonight is to have a buffet dinner together at the hotel, and then go to the hot springs together. Finally, there will be a special massage. Your president has arranged everything."

"Is that so... Then let's arrange to take a bath together tomorrow."

"No, there's no bathtub in your room."

"The bathtub in our room isn't as big as this one, and the view isn't as good as this one."

“And there aren’t that many bells and whistles.”

Ryo Yamada looked at the operating area next to the bathtub. The densely packed function buttons looked very curious.

Yijizhi Xingge looked at the expectant faces of the crowd and sighed helplessly.

"It's up to you, but you have to go back directly after you're done soaking. Don't even think about making trouble here for too long."

"I know, I know. It's settled then... Hey, where's Pochi-chan?"

Only then did Ijichi Hongxia realize that there was someone missing in the bathroom.

Everyone reacted and poked their heads out of the bathroom, and saw Goto Ichiri squatting in front of the bedside table with his back to them, not moving.

"Hey, Pochi-chan?"

Hongxia called out in confusion, which resulted in an extremely panicked reaction from Goto Ichiri.

She shuddered visibly, and hurriedly stuffed the things in her hands into the drawer of the bedside table. Then she quickly turned around and looked at them breathlessly.

"Yes Yes!"

"Hmm~suspicious~"

The other three who finished the band, including Ijichi Hoshika, were very curious about what Goto Ichiri was hiding just now that could have shaken her to such an extent.

They came slowly towards us.

"Well...well...let's go eat."

Goto Ichiri tried to stop it helplessly, but with little success.

Hongxia held her hand and slowly took her aside.

Yamada Ryo and Kita Ikuyo opened the drawer that she had just closed with a wicked smile.

Ichichi Xingge also leaned over curiously and looked inside.

With just one glance, her pupils dilated rapidly, and then she slammed the drawer shut with an extremely quick "snap".

"Eh? What's going on?"

Seeing Ichiri and Yudai covering their faces, Ryo grinning, and her sister panting, Ichichi Hongxia's curiosity grew.

"What's inside?"

"that's not important!"

Ichichi Hoshige responded viciously.

"How can this be? It's so unfair that I'm the only one who doesn't know..."

Ichichi Hongxia puffed up her cheeks to express her dissatisfaction.

Seeing this, Kita Ikuyo quickly leaned close to her ear and whispered something in a very low voice.

Then, Ijichi Hongxia's whole face suddenly turned red, she lowered her head slightly and calmed down.

At this moment, the five women in the room were caught in a rather subtle atmosphere of awkwardness.

The atmosphere did not dissipate until Chisato Suzumiya arrived, who had completed the formalities.

However, looking at the five blushing women in front of him, he always felt that something was strange.

Why do I always feel like their gazes are drifting towards my buttocks...

It must be an illusion.

Chapter 84: Life Talks Between Girlfriends

"Oh! This is such a magnificent view!"

On the other end of the video call, Shizuka Hiratsuka sat on her bed in disheveled clothes. She didn't look like an unmarried woman in her thirties at all. She gave a youthful exclamation with a very bright look in her eyes.

"I'm so envious. I also went to Hokkaido a few years ago, but it was a camping activity organized by the school. Although the local scenery and beer tasted good, I was looking after a group of little kids and didn't have the time to enjoy it. You are so comfortable. Your boss took you on a trip and the expenses were reimbursed. There is no such good thing in the world. Why can't it happen to me?"

"Well, it's not as comfortable as you say. I'm just so-so. After all, I have to keep an eye on the four little brats and not let them get carried away and cause trouble."

Ijichi Xingge turned the camera on her phone back to face herself. She was quite pleased by her friend's surprised and envious reaction, but she still pretended to be indifferent and calm, completely lacking the excitement she had when she stood by each window and took pictures of the scenery after the four of them finished the band's performance.

Because she was video chatting with her good friends, Shizuka Hiratsuka was not on guard at all. She fixed her phone to the head of the bed, simply lifted her hair and walked to the closet to do the voluntary selection.

Yidizhi Xingge guessed that her friend had some necessary activities to go out for later today. Otherwise, based on Ajing's usual style, she would most likely not go out in such cold weather during the holiday.

The scene of visiting her apartment some time ago is still vivid in my mind.

The woman who looked neat, tidy and beautiful on the outside actually lived in a place that looked like an old man's squatter's house. Not only were all kinds of clothes scattered everywhere, but there were also takeout boxes and empty beer cans on the coffee table in the living room.

At that time, Ichichi Xingge was very disgusted with this good friend.

But thinking about it afterwards, if she didn't live with her sister Hongxia and chose to live alone like Ajing, the cleanliness of her shared single apartment would probably not be much better than Ajing's.

After all, all she requires in this aspect of life is just to be able to get by, and in this respect, she and Ajing are really the same.

Perhaps it is because of their extremely similar personalities in this aspect that the two of them have been able to maintain their friendship for so long?

"You should at least avoid me a little. When you change clothes, adjust the view of your phone to another place, or just cover the camera. Are you really not afraid that someone else will suddenly come over to my side and expose you?"

"Even if that's the case, there's nothing to worry about. Besides, I've covered all the necessary areas."

Shizuka Hiratsuka took off her pajamas and threw them aside, then changed her clothes beside the bed in her underwear. Not only did she ignore her friend's complaints, she also closed her left eye and made a simple hand gesture towards the camera of her mobile phone with great complacency.

"It's too Showa-esque. What era is this display posture from? So tacky."

Ichichi Hoshige complained with a smile.

"It's obviously a cute pose for taking photos, how can it be so tacky? It's because you don't understand."

"Oh."

"Didn't you notice any changes in me?"

"Now that you mention it, it does seem like you've gained some weight."

Yijizhi Xingge leaned against the window sill with a serious tone, and the breath from her rosy lips floated outside and turned into white mist.
