I have bound two systems.

"...No need to add any honorifics. If possible, I will call you Sister Xingge like Qianli does."

Ijichi Hoshika felt a little awkward at Kasumigaoka's sudden enthusiasm, but she nodded anyway.

"Then Sister Xingge, just call me Shiyu. After all, I am your junior. I hope you will take good care of me in the future."

"I understand."

"One mile too... um..."

The moment Kasumigaoka turned to face Goto Ichiri, she was subtly stunned.

The reason is that Goto Ichiri, who always looked ordinary in clothes that did not show her figure, showed a shocking size when she took off her clothes and showed herself honestly.

The game is that her waist is extremely slender, and the whole person looks like a fruit growing on a thin branch, which looks quite thrilling.

At this moment, she vaguely understood one of the reasons why Qianli was so fascinated by her.

She quickly came to her senses and finished what she had just said in response to Goto Ichiri's puzzled gaze.

"Ichiri, too. Call me by my first name from now on. Don't use such unfamiliar terms as 'classmate'."

"Oh, ok…ok."

Goto Ichiri was somewhat delighted to hear this.

For Chisato Suzumiya, it is necessary to build a good relationship with Eriri and Shiwa.

She felt that the current smooth progress was inseparable from her previous initiative to invite the other party to go sledding together.

From this point of view, maybe we can invite them to try something else later?

Chapter 90: Table Stove

Japanese people have an almost obsessive obsession with taking baths. Every household is equipped with a bathtub unless the house is too small.

How refreshing it would be to soak in the bathtub after get off work or school, let the water temperature slightly higher than your body temperature soothe your physical fatigue, and close your eyes comfortably.

Chisato Suzumiya had a feeling that they would soak in the hot spring for a long time. After all, they got along quite well during the previous skiing. Before, their attention was mostly focused on the current activities outdoors, and now that they could sit down and soak in the hot spring together, they would probably have a lot to talk about.

This is indeed the reality.

There was only a thick wooden board separating the men's and women's hot springs. In addition, his side was reserved for the entire area, so apart from the occasional sound of bubbles popping up in the steaming hot spring, the only sound was coming from the women's hot spring.

“…Look at this.”

"Woo waa ...

Well, these are the voices of Yamada Ryo and Ijichi Kouka. They sound like they are having a lot of fun over there.

"...Pochi-chan, why...are you...so...huh?"

"No...no...I'm not sure...If I have to say, it's probably genetics. My mom is similar..."

"Hmm! This has blocked the topic right away... Damn it! If I don't have it myself, I can only feel it from Pochi-chan."

"Ahhh... please don't do this..."

The above are obviously the contents of the conversation between Kita Ikuyo and Goto Ichiri.

Their conversation made Chisato Suzumiya's brain, which was already heated up from taking a bath, heat up again.

He reached out and pushed up his slightly wet bangs, then let out a long breath.

Listening to their conversation reminded him of the traditional plot that often appears in comics about beautiful girls' harems.

The male protagonist, who accidentally entered the female hot spring due to various unexpected circumstances, was about to leave when he covered his crotch tightly with a towel under the shy or playful and teasing gazes of the women. However, he heard the footsteps of other female guests at the entrance of the hot spring.

At the critical moment, the girls who were close to the protagonist chose to surround him in a circle and wrap him up in order to prevent him from being ruined...

Chisato Suzumiya slid down in the hot spring pool, her mouth below the surface of the hot spring water constantly spitting out bubbles, and she was thinking about these things in a daze.

When he came back to reality, he found that the sound from the women's hot spring next door had stopped at some point.

Just like him, it was a little too quiet.

After waiting silently for a while, the situation remained the same, which made Chisato Suzumiya feel somewhat strange.

You won't leave so soon, will you?

But there was no sound of them leaving the hot spring.

"Eiriri?"

He stood up and waved to the other side.

"Ah, Chisato."

From Eriri's voice, it was obvious that she was startled.

"Hey! How can you hear the conversations of men and women in the hot spring so clearly? Really, what is the use of this thick wooden board in the middle..."

Kita Ikuyo is feeling ashamed of herself for having flirted with someone else's timid girlfriend.

It's okay for some things to happen between girls, but if they are discovered by a man, or even if he hears it clearly and witnesses the whole process in a sense, that's a completely different matter.

It will make people socially dead, on many levels.

"At this point, I can only apologize in the same way."

"Um... Liang, what you mean is..."

"Ikuyo-chan, just let the president touch you back. You touched his girlfriend, so of course you have to make amends."

Kita Ikuyo: "(っ°Д °;)っ...!"

Chisato Suzumiya: "(ーー゛)Σ..."

I appreciate your kindness, but even though you are deliberately lowering your voices, I can still hear you clearly.

Pretending not to hear their conversation, Suzumiya Chisato continued to ask,

"What's wrong? Why is it so quiet over there all of a sudden?"

Eriri, who had spoken to him at the beginning, answered his doubts.

"It's because Miss Ijichi fell asleep."

The store manager fell asleep...

Suzumiya Chisato understood, that's why she suddenly stopped making any sound, probably because she didn't want to disturb her rest.

"But it's a bit dangerous to fall asleep in a hot spring. I'm worried that she might choke on the water."

"Don't worry, that guy Kasumigaoka is taking care of Sister Xingge."

"?"

Chisato Suzumiya could not imagine the situation that Eriri described. Given Shiyu's cold personality towards people she didn't care about, it was hard to imagine that she would take care of others.

But since she said so, there's probably nothing to worry about.

The perspective shifts from the men's hot spring to the women's hot spring.

Kasumigaoka Utaha sat in the corner of the hot spring farthest from the middle partition, and Ijichi Hoshika was sitting right next to her. She was feeling a little sleepy, so she yawned and tilted her head back, leaning against the stone edge of the hot spring with a towel and closing her eyes.

At first she was able to maintain this posture without relying on others, but as her mood and body became more relaxed, her head eventually tilted slowly to the side and finally rested on Kasumigaoka Utaha's shoulder.

The feeling about Kasumigaoka is quite subtle, and some of my previous views on Ijichi Hoshige have also changed.

Although she is an adult, her outward demeanor is that of an adult most of the time... but how should I put it, when she lets down her guard, she's surprisingly cute, just like her sister.

In the middle of the process, Ijichi Nichina came over to apologize and said that she would just look after her sister, but Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't care and smiled and shook her head to indicate that she didn't care.

Her actions and responses were seen by Eriri who was not far away, and the aura of "I'm unhappy" that she had been emitting since early morning dissipated a lot.

Well, it all comes down to whether you are willing to do it or not. If you want to, you can do it very well.

At the end of the hot spring bath, Ijichi Hoshika shyly apologized to Kasumigaoka Utaha for her inappropriate behavior.

In addition, after changing clothes, Ying Lili took the initiative to buy warm milk for everyone to replenish water.

The last bottle was handed over to Kasumigaoka by her personally.

Kasumigaoka took the milk suspiciously, checked it over and over, and after confirming that there were no signs of premature damage at the seal, he turned his gaze to Eriri again.

"Why are you so kind all of a sudden?"

"If you don't want to drink it, give it back to me."

Ying Lili said as she reached out to grab it.

Kasumigaoka took a step back and raised the milk.

"Of course I will. Thank you. In return, I'll give you the hot milk tonight."

"Hot milk in the evening?"

Kita Ikuyo, who was applying moisturizing facial lotion at the same time, was puzzled.

Ichichi Hoshika, who was buttoning her underwear, gave a supposedly appropriate answer based on her own imagination.

"When I have insomnia, I usually choose to drink a cup of hot milk before going to bed, which really helps me sleep."

"That's it."

At this time, Yamada Ryo came over silently and said,

"It's hard to imagine Sister Xingge having insomnia. Judging from your performance in the hot spring just now, I always thought you had excellent sleep quality."

"What are you talking about, you guy! You dare to tease me now, right? I'll remember it and take special care of you when I get back."

"Forehead……"

Kasumigaoka Utaha turned her head and looked at Eriri with a smile.

"I really can't stand you..."

Eriri put her hand to her forehead and sighed.

They have been dealing with each other for such a long time. In the beginning, they were just two admired beauties in the same school. Now, through another person, they have achieved the achievement of sleeping in the same bed in a sense. They can't say that they understand each other completely, but it's almost the same.

The moment Kasumigaoka Utaha crossed her arms and spoke in a teasing tone, Eriri knew that this guy was going to be frivolous again.

Is the hot milk she mentioned considered milk?

Although it is indeed very hot and somewhat similar in visual terms... they are two completely different things!

"You really are becoming more and more like the heroine of anime."

Ying Lili said this in a very low voice and turned and left.

"In that case, you, who are performing similarly to me, will be doing the same."

Kasumigaoka's slow response caused Eriri to stop, turn around, and make a face at her.

Humph, childish ghost.

Kasumigaoka inserted the straw into the milk carton, waited for the others to change their clothes, and then left the changing room together.

After a tiring half day of sightseeing and the sun setting, it's time to reward yourself.

Chisato Suzumiya took everyone out of the hotel and came to a local specialty store to taste a special dish called "Genghis Khan BBQ".

This dish originated a long time ago, when Genghis Khan, the founder of the Yuan Dynasty, led his army on a march and lacked cooking utensils. They had no choice but to use the iron helmets on the soldiers' heads to cook. Unexpectedly, the food turned out to be surprisingly delicious.

Therefore, this kind of cuisine has gradually evolved into what it is today. It has also been listed as one of the 52 heritage sites of Hokkaido, and is considered a must-try delicacy when traveling to Hokkaido.

In the private room, everyone took the hot towels handed by the waiter to wipe their hands. After the tea and side dishes were served one after another, the highlight was finally served.

The red-hot charcoal, a special iron plate with a convex middle and concave sides with a very small gap, is placed in the groove in the center of the table top one by one.

The pink and white high-quality beef and mutton finally made its debut thanks to Ryo Yamada's careful thought.

The waitress explained the specific method of eating the barbecue, and after asking if I needed any help, she left with a smile.

"Open the window. The charcoal smell is a bit strong."

Ijichi Hoshige said to Ijichi Hongxia who was closest to the window, and the latter obeyed.

Although many places now choose economical electric grills for barbecue, as far as barbecue is concerned, although electric grills are also delicious, they still feel like something is missing compared to charcoal grills.

"Is it time to add the oil and meat?"

Yamada Ryo couldn't wait any longer. The box of milk she drank after running in the hot spring only served as an appetite whetter for her.

"No, the temperature of the iron plate hasn't risen yet. If you want to eat the most delicious barbecue, you should wait a little longer."
