Chino City, a hot spring hotel built next to Shirakaba Lake.
In a Japanese-style double room.
Shinjoka put down her phone and fell into deep thought.
The conversation from fifteen minutes ago echoed in my ears.
"I'm sorry, Miss Shinjo, may I make a gracious request?"
"No need to talk about borrowing money."
"……Huh?"
"Under this premise, Miss S, what do you want~?"
"Um...actually, I just finished my college exam today, and I will probably come to Tokyo to study in a while."
"Hmm~~What happens next?"
"Then... I originally wanted to visit Miss Shinjo in person today, but Miss Muzi and Asami said that you went to a neighboring city, so I couldn't see you."
"Oh? That's it~ It seems that you have already met them, right?"
"Yes, we chatted a little bit."
"So~?"
"So... Well, actually I also want to become a volunteer like Asami, and I hope to get your permission, Ms. Shinjo."
"...Huh? What does this mean?"
"I learned something about the OSY Association and Miss Muzi from Mami... Can you let me join you too?"
"well……"
"That! I will work hard, and I am actually very good at housework. I will definitely be able to help!"
"--don't want."
"Why--?"
"Since you have learned a lot from Asami, you should know that this organization was founded by the president, right? I don't want to make the president angry yet, so don't."
"I know it's rude, but... please...!"
"I~ said~ ah, Miss S, we are not friends, why should I promise you?"
"This is because……"
"What is it~?"
"..."
"..."
"..."
"If you're okay, I'll hang up~?"
"...Because, he once told me to wait for him."
"……oh?"
"...Miss Shinjo, you always call me Miss S, right?"
"So what~?"
"Ogiwara Sayu... that's my name, and the OSY association is indeed... Can I ask why the association is called this name?"
"...Who knows? Maybe it's just a coincidence."
"accidental……"
"..."
"..."
"I said, Miss S~"
"yes……?"
"A favor, if you are willing to grant me a favor..."
"——Are you willing to help me? I agree!"
"Is it okay? I can't guarantee that I can do it?"
"It doesn't matter even then! No matter what the outcome is... I owe you a favor, Ms. Shinjo!"
"...I know, I'll see what to do."
"Thank you! Miss Shinjo—!"
"Let's talk about that kind of thing later. I'm not doing it for you."
…
Tick tick tick, the clock ticks slowly.
The air conditioner blows appropriate warm air and the room temperature is very comfortable.
When I looked out the window, I saw that the lake was pitch black as if it had been painted.
The light bulb above his head was shining alone, and a thoughtful face was reflected on the glass of the window.
A faint sigh followed.
"...What on earth am I doing inexplicably?"
"?"
When Serizawa Yu opened the door and entered the room, what he saw was his roommate sitting at the table with one hand on his chin, looking out the window in a daze.
"...Xiaoxiang? What are you doing sitting there alone?"
Faced with this inquiry, Shinjoka slowly turned his head to the door, with a mysterious smile on his face.
"Xiao Xi, what's the matter with you?"
"Huh? This is what I want to ask, right? Xiaoxiang, you ran away halfway through playing table tennis and never came back after that. That's too much!"
"Who told me to hate exercise~?"
"That's not the answer!"
Serizawa Yu puffed up her face angrily and walked directly to sit opposite her.
"Anyway, everyone has finished playing table tennis and is now preparing to go to the hot springs together. Let's change clothes quickly."
"Who do you mean?"
"That's Hasumi-san, Kasumigaoka-san, Sawamura-san, Kato-san and Sagara-san."
"The president is not here?"
"--Eh??"
Serizawa Yu was stunned for a moment, and then her face suddenly turned red.
"It means we are all girls. How can a boy like Brother Yu come here? Xiaoxiang, what are you talking about!"
"But I want to go with the president~"
"Can't!"
"Yes~"
Shinjoka giggled, her light short hair flying lonely.
"……Huh?"
Serizawa frowned and tilted his head suspiciously.
"...Xiaoxiang, what's on your mind?"
"What's the meaning?"
"Because, your current atmosphere is so strange, it feels unusual..."
"……oh?"
Shintiao Xiang's heart moved slightly, but there was no expression on his face.
She turned her head to look at the dark blue night sky and raised her lips in a lonely voice, "That's because I have to go back to the Moon Palace soon."
"Moon Palace..."
Serizawa Yuu read softly, and then loudly condemned: "Please don't tell such weird jokes with a serious expression, it's not funny at all!"
"So, please bring me Vivian Westwood's new bag that has not yet been released to the public."
"What Xiaoxiang said is totally incomprehensible and people can't understand it!"
"But, if you are the president, you will satisfy me, right?"
Shinjoka narrowed her eyes mischievously and said nonchalantly: "Let me ask you, Xiao Xi, what do you think of my usual treatment of you?"
"……What's the meaning?"
"Although I am only following the president's orders, I am taking care of you seriously, right?"
"This... this is indeed the case. Xiaoxiang, you not only take good care of me and take me shopping, but you are also generous enough to lend me your own cosmetics..."
Serizawa Yu said with a sincere and frank smile on her face, "So~ I have always regarded you as my best friend, Xiaoxiang, and I only like you a little less than Brother Yu."
"Hmm~~~"
Shinjoka stared at her face emotionlessly and snorted: "...then~ if I make your brother angry one day, are you willing to help me?"
"Making Brother Yu angry? Why? Xiaoxiang, don't you always say you hate doing that kind of thing??"
Seeing Serizawa Yu's eyes widen in surprise, Shinjoka waved her hand casually.
"It's nothing, I just asked casually. It doesn't matter if you don't want to answer."
"It's not like that..."
The former frowned and worried for a while, looking at the light bulb above, and finally returned his gaze to the latter's face.
"...I don't know why you are asking this, Xiaoxiang, but...well, as long as you haven't done anything to feel sorry for Brother Yu, I will help."
"There are still conditions. Are you the brother-controller?"
"--certainly not!"
Shinjoka chuckled and stretched out the little finger of her right hand, "Then let's pull the hook~"
Serizawa blinked in confusion, looking at the little finger in front of her and her face in turn, and then hesitantly stretched out her little finger to hook it with hers.
"Yeah, hook."
"Hey, Xiao Xi~"
"yes……?"
A slightly dim color appeared in Shinjoka's eyes, and she said jokingly: "If one day I make your brother angry, remember to come and save me."
…
After that, Serizawa Yu couldn't wait and went to the bathhouse to meet the others.
Shinjoka slowly changed into the hotel's yukata, and then left the room leisurely.
When we came to the corridor where the bathhouse was located, a tall figure also walked towards us from the opposite side.
"Ah~ Good evening, Mr. Yoshida." Shinjoka greeted him proactively.
When he saw it was her, Yoshida couldn't help but was slightly startled, and then he raised his hand to say hello.
"Oh, you are Kato's classmate...good evening."
"Hmm, Mr. Yoshida, just call me Shinjo. Are you ready to take a shower?"
"Yes, the massage chair in this hotel is so comfortable that you can't help but want to take a bath and go to bed early."
Yoshida gently hit his left shoulder as if reminiscing, and said, "By the way, I just saw other people in the activity area. Weren't you with them?"
"Yes, because I change clothes slowly, everyone has already gone in first."
Shinjoka looked behind him as he spoke, but didn't see the other person, so he asked casually.
"By the way, Mr. Yoshida, are you alone? Didn't the president come with you?"
"You said that boy..."
Yoshida twitched his brows openly, looking a little helpless, "He said he would draw pictures in the room for a while and come back later."
"Eh... President, is he working alone? It's obviously during the dormitory period?"
"Yeah, that guy keeps saying that I'm a workaholic, but I'm also a virtuous person. It's really unbearable."
"Hey~ So that's it."
Yoshida nodded meaninglessly, pointed to the entrance of the bathhouse and said, "Then, if you have nothing else to do, I will go in first."
"Okay~ Mr. Yoshida, please wash slowly."
Shinjoka replied intelligently, and just watched Yoshida walk into the dressing room behind the blue curtain.
Her eyes rolled around for a moment, and she walked directly to the other end of the corridor without looking at the entrance to the girls' bathhouse.
There are a total of nine people participating in the camp this time. The room allocation is as follows:
Hasumi Kanoko and Sagara Mayu are in the same room.
Hui, Yinglili and Shiyu are in the same room.
Kato Yusuke and Yoshida.
She and Xiao Xi were in the same room.
According to known information, seven people are currently taking a bath in the hot springs.
There is no need to say more about the situation on the lady's side.
It's rare to come to a hot spring. No matter how fast a man takes a bath, it will still take at least an hour, right?
“For tutoring time, it’s almost enough~”
Shintiao Xiang hummed a soft melody and came to the door of a certain room.
——Knock knock.
"President, are you in there? Can you excuse me?"
Accompanied by the sound of approaching powerful footsteps, the door opened five seconds later, and a tall figure appeared behind the door.
"How did you come?"
Kato Yusuke lowered his eyes and looked at her, with a questioning look on his heroic eyebrows.
The boy was also wearing the hotel's yukata. Although the belt was tied very messily, it looked very elegant for a tall man like him.
Shintiao Xiang's heartbeat suddenly accelerated a little, and she smiled sweetly.
"...Well~ I have something to tell the president. Can I come in?"
"oh."
Kato Yusuke responded and walked directly into the room.
"Remember to close the door and change your shoes when you come in."
“Okay~~~”
Shinjoka shouted cutely and walked into a space similar to an entrance, then closed the door and took off her shoes.
After passing through the second half-open paper door, she closed this door as well.
Although Kato Yusuke told her to close only the first door, she still closed both doors smoothly.
Turn around and look.
"--Eh!?"
Kato Yusuke took off his yukata for some unknown reason, and was wearing only a pair of trousers, shirtless, and posing in a strange pose with his eyes closed.
“President, what are you doing??”
She couldn't help but ask, but the boy didn't even raise his eyelids.
"I'm practicing, please sit down for a while."
"Practice..."
Shinjoka muttered softly, and sat down on the tatami with a vague understanding. She was not shy, but stared at the body attentively.
All the lights in the house were on, illuminating the room brightly.
Under the light, Kato Yusuke lowered his chin slightly, spread his legs as wide as his shoulders, and clasped his hands in front of his chest.
His body shape is very upright, and his whole person is like an evergreen pine tree.
The outline of his muscular body is full of vitality, and there is clear sweat hanging on it, which outlines his figure more clearly and makes him look energetic.
Although this was not the first time he had seen such a scene, Shinjoka still felt a little confused and his body felt a little numb.
In fact, in school, she occasionally saw other boys changing clothes, such as in swimming lessons.
Sometimes I would even follow the atmosphere and discuss with other girls what a certain boy's figure is like.
But--
The person in front of me is completely different.
Even if you insist on comparing other people with him, it will only make people think of the description of "world of difference". The two sides are not on the same level at all.
'How on earth did you train yourself...?'
Perhaps she was so absorbed in looking at it that the other party noticed something, so the young man asked.
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
"……ah?"
She didn't respond, so Kato Yusuke repeated it.
"Didn't you say you had something to talk about?"
This time, Shintiao Xiang reacted.
"Well, yes...but isn't the president practicing now?"
"I'm almost done, just say it."
"oh……"
Shinjoka pondered over the choice of words and spoke in a relaxed tone.
"Actually, this is the president. A girl in college just contacted me and said she wanted to volunteer in our association. President, do you think it's okay?"
“…Someone contacted you to volunteer?”
Kato Yusuke frowned, "We are not recruiting externally, how did the other party know about our place?"
"Well~ It seems that Asami told her, and then she contacted me."
Shinjoka explained frankly and deliberately concealed the tricky part.
Although she had accepted the strange job by accident, she had no intention of risking everything for it and cutting off her own escape route.
When he heard the name Asami, Kato Yusuke's originally frowned brow returned to its original state.
"I know, then you and Xiao Xi will make the arrangements yourself. You don't need to tell me about this kind of thing."
"Hmm~~That won't work, right?"
"What's not working?"
"Because, if the president I arrange is dissatisfied, wouldn't you be angry with them?"
"I have said that I will not interfere in the association's affairs. As long as it is helpful to the association, it is up to you to decide how to manage it."
"Eh~? Then if someone spends all the money in their account, wouldn't you be worried, President?" Shinjoka joked casually.
Kato Yusuke twitched his brows and thought for a moment: "I'll ask Kano-chan to transfer the money to you tomorrow."
"……Eh--?"
"Aren't you short of money? Is five million enough?"
The calm voice spread, and the room suddenly fell silent.
"Eh-heh - no, wait! President, are you serious?" Shinjoka said dumbfounded, completely dumbfounded.
Kato Yusuke did not answer immediately. He slowly drew a circle on his chest with his hands and pressed down on his Dantian. He took a deep breath and put away his posture, and then opened his eyes.
The two people's eyes met, and the young man said calmly:
"If you are short of money, just tell me and I will give it to you, but you must not ignore the rules."
"——!"
Shinjoka's heart skipped a beat.
The other party's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes exuded some deep meaning and seemed a bit sharp.
Gudu...
She swallowed a mouthful of saliva unconsciously, sat upright obediently, lowered her eyebrows and said:
"...Well, I remember, President. In fact, I just made a joke. I didn't really ask for money. You don't have to take it seriously..."
"It doesn't matter if it's true or not, that money is just your reward for taking care of Xiao Xi and managing the association, you just take it."
Kato Yusuke said without explanation, taking out wet wipes and antiperspirant spray from the luggage in the corner of the room, ready to wipe away the sweat.
Shinjoka let out a light sigh: "...Ah, President, is that the antiperspirant spray I gave you last time?"
"Um."
"President, aren't you going to take a shower today?"
"I want to go, but I don't want to wear a yukata all sweaty."
"...Yes~"
Shinjoka thought for a moment, then stood up and walked up, "Then, let me help?"
"Need not."
"But it's hard for the president to wipe his back, right? It would be more convenient for me to help~"
Kato Yusuke pondered for a moment, perhaps thinking that what she said was right, so he handed her the wipes and spray, and sat down cross-legged at her instruction.
Shinjoka knelt behind him, took out a few wet wipes, and wiped the sweat from his neck down.
The smell of men wafted from the tip of my nose.
She took a wet wipe and slowly wiped the sweat from his body.
The smooth muscle lines on her toned and straight body contain amazing explosive power and are also full of strong male hormones, which makes her feel a little dazed.
Gradually, she couldn't do it anymore.
"President..."
Shinjoka muttered softly and couldn't help lowering her head, resting her forehead on his back.
Kato Yusuke's body shook slightly, but he didn't say a word.
However, when he felt a dampness coming from his thoracic vertebrae, he finally couldn't help but chuckle.
"What are you doing?"
"Hmm~~? I'm just wiping the sweat of the president."
"I just broke out in a sweat, don't you feel dirty?"
"No, I haven't taken a shower yet~~~"
Shinjoka licked her lips and said, then she leaned into his ear and breathed Rulan: "President, I want to take tutoring~"
"...Tuition?"
"Hmm~! Actually, my grades these days are not very good. I have been worrying about asking the president for advice, but I haven't had the chance."
"What do you want to make up for?"
"It's physics~"
"Be specific."
"The relationship between the isobaric volume expansion coefficient and temperature~"
"It's thermal science."
"By the way, there is actually another equation of accelerated motion that I don't quite understand. Can the president teach me together?"
Kato Yusuke narrowed his eyes and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "...sit in front."
“Okay~~~”
Shintiao Xiangjiao didi responded and sat down in front of him.
In the in-depth exploration and practice of the two people, time passed like this.
…
Wait until the tutoring is over.
They simply tidied up the room and finally lay down on the tatami to take a nap.
Shinjoka lay on top of him, holding his chest with both hands, and suddenly asked: "Hey, President, are you satisfied with me?"
Kato Yusuke didn't say anything, he just touched her head as a reward and successfully made her smile.
Shinjoka stared at his face with twinkling eyes and spoke casually.
"I like the president to like my body, so it doesn't matter if you hate me, as long as you continue to use me as an object, but don't let me go~?"
Kato Yusuke didn't understand the meaning of these words and was about to ask carefully——
"Huh? Why is this door closed?"
With a confused grunt, the second door to the room was suddenly opened, and Yoshida stepped into the room with a towel around his neck.
The three of them looked at each other.
At this moment, time seems to have frozen.
Shinjoka's face was bright red, her sweaty hair was messy and stuck to her cheeks. She was lying on Kato Yusuke's body, with some lingering lingering and laziness exuding between her brows and eyes.
When he saw this scene clearly, the corners of Yoshida's eyes couldn't help but twitch violently.
He suddenly retracted the foot that entered the room and walked out without looking back, deliberately making a reciting voice like chanting sutras.
"Ah, I seem to have forgotten to buy cigarettes. I'll be back in half an hour."
The door was closed with a bang.
Kato Yusuke and Shinjoka looked at each other, and after a second, they couldn't help laughing at the same time.
"President, he said it will take half an hour~"
"yes……"
"So~ do you want to come for tutoring again?"
"...No, go take a shower."
"I see……"
Kato Yusuke scratched his neck depressedly and felt a little sorry for Yoshida.
After such an interruption, he also forgot about the question just now.
Seeing that he had no intention of continuing, Shinjoka strolled back to his room.
She was covered in sweat, and she didn't want to go directly to the bathing place and be hit by someone, so she had to clean herself up.
I casually glanced at the clock on the wall and realized that it was already nine o'clock in the evening.
"...It's actually been two hours."
Shinjoka rubbed her sore chin, then knocked on her legs, which were weak, and just hummed and wiped the sweat with a bath towel.
It took fifteen minutes to clean up.
Just as she was about to go out, Serizawa Yu, who was wearing a high ponytail, opened the door and entered before her.
"Ah~! Xiaoxiang, why are you still here? Aren't you going to take a shower??"
"Yes, yes~ I'm going now."
"Eh...? Wait a minute——!"
"What's wrong?"
Ignoring Shinjoka's surprised expression, Serizawa Yuu pressed her shoulders, sniffed her mouth, and finally frowned suspiciously.
"...Strange? Xiaoxiang, have you eaten anything again? There is a strange taste in your mouth."
Shinjoka blinked and smiled sweetly: "Well~~Are you interested?"
"Huh? It's not like I'm interested or not...it's just that I remember a similar situation happened last time."
"Hmm~~~"
Shinjoka narrowed her eyes slightly, gently picked up Serizawa Yu's slightly rosy cheeks after bathing, and said in a long voice:
"——I ate your brother~"
…
On the train back to my hometown, I will be doing some proofreading late and may take a day off tomorrow.
