Wait, wait, this is strange. Something strange is happening here…… Eh? Could it be that I came to the wrong onsen and went to the one Sieg-san was supposed to be entering?
No…… but the person talking to me just now was obviously Sieg-san, so she knows I’m here, right?
As I was confused by what’s suddenly happening, I heard the sound of hot water being poured and hurriedly turned my face away when I felt Sieg-san coming into the onsen.
[S- Sieg-san!? W- W- Why are you here?]
Asking this, I immediately looked down…… This onsen…… Alright! With the water being this whitish and cloudy, it should be safe…… No, can’t really say there’s anything safe about it.[It was a surprise for me when I heard about it too…… but when we become lovers, we apparently need to take a bath together.]
[……Yes?]
[I remember hearing Luna talking about it to Lili once.]
[No, that is……]
The story certainly sounds familiar. Rather, isn’t that the prank by Luna-san that Lilia-san actually suffered from…… so with Luna-san’s punishment, I thought that ended things.
However, overhearing their conversation, in comes an unexpected Sieg-san!? I don’t think she would be the type who would take such a conversation seriously……
With that thought in mind, I waited for Sieg-san to soak her body under the hot water, and turned around to see Sieg-san with a teasing smile on her lips.That’s the face of someone who knew that Luna-san was just speaking bullsh*t and was just going along with it.
[Errr, Sieg-san?]
[Well, honestly speaking…… I was just feeling a little bit of childish jealousy.]
[Unnn?]
[The last time we were at the beach, with the flow of conversation, an opportunity to ask about this unexpectedly appeared…… and I heard that everyone but me had taken a bath together with Kaito-san.]
[……Now that you mentioned it…… That really was the case.]
Thinking back about this, that really was the case. No, it’s not like me taking a bath together with everyone was something I wanted to do, but I did remember taking a mixed bath at least once with everyone except Sieg-san.
[That’s why, since this was a great opportunity…… but well, you know…… Of course, I’m feeling embarrassed……]
I think her having such an embarrassed look on her face was downright illegal. Moreover, her reason was an extremely lovable one…… one that I couldn’t refuse at all.
[Errr, in that case…… Would you like to have a drink with me?]
[Yes!]
When I finally broke the ice and told her so, a really happy smile appeared on Sieg-san’s lips.
[Also, even though it doesn’t have shoulder straps, I’m currently wearing a swimsuit, so you don’t have to be so nervous.]
[Ahh, I- I see……]
[Or perhaps…… Would you rather me not wear one?]
[N- No, that’s not what I meant……]
[Fufufu.]
[Sieg-san!]
[I’m sorry. It was just that your reaction was somewhat interesting.]
Today’s Sieg-san seemed to be a little impish. However, well, I was a little relieved that she was wearing a swimsuit. It still brought me a different kind of nervousness, but I would inevitably be conscious of her body if I knew she wasn’t wearing one.
Feeling a little relieved, I took out a bottle of sake from my magic box and clinked glasses with Sieg-san.
[The stars are so beautiful, aren’t they?]
[That’s right. There are also no clouds today, so we can clearly see the starry sky.]
[I feel like I’m living in the lap of luxury here.]
[I know what you mean.]
I agreed with Sieg-san’s calm words. In the midst of such a spectacular view, I was enjoying a peaceful conversation with my lover while we were pouring drinks into each other’s cups.
Hmmm, I really feel like I’m having a very luxurious time. Especially with the calm atmosphere of Sieg-san, I feel like the peaceful atmosphere around us is the best.
[…..Feels kind of like that time, doesn’t it? You know, when I visited Sieg-san’s house and we had a drink on the porch together.]
[That’s right. It was also a beautiful starry sky at that time…… that was already more than two years ago, wasn’t it?]
[Time sure flies fast.]
Although I said that, I had returned to my former world around that time, so I only recognize it as an event a little over a year ago, but I guess it would be tactless to say that out loud.
[……Kaito-san, can I get a little closer?]
[Eh? Ah, yes.]
[Then, excuse me.]
After asking for my permission, Sieg-san scooted over towards me. We were so close that our shoulders were touching.
Even though I knew she was wearing a swimsuit, being this close to her made me extremely nervous. In fact, her swimsuit was hidden by the hot water, so it was invisible from my side……
At that moment, I suddenly felt Sieg-san tense. It seemed like the blush on her cheeks wasn’t just because of the hot water and alcohol.
……This is that, isn’t it? It isn’t just me who’s feeling nervous here, but Sieg-san as well. I guess it’s not cool for me to be the only one flustered here……
With that thought in mind, I suppressed my nervousness and gently reached for Sieg-san’s shoulder and hugged her body close, a little surprised by the soft, slippery touch.
[Ahh…… Fufu.]
For a moment, Sieg-san looked surprised, but after a while, she happily smiled, putting her head on my shoulder and leaning even closer to me.
I was nervous and embarrassed, but more than that, I felt a strong sense of happiness around us…… and after Sieg-san and I silently looked at each other, we lightly exchanged a kiss.
[……Ahh, that’s right. I’m sorry, Kaito-san, but I actually lied about one thing.]
[Lied?]
[The truth is, I’m not wearing a swimsuit right now.]
[……………………]
Unnn, I was thinking that I couldn’t feel her swimsuit even though I was hugging her close to me…… but if it’s possible, I wish she would have told me this right before we left the onsen. Hearing about this now, I’m starting to feel very conscious of it.
<Afterword>
Serious-senpai : [Aaaaaahhhhhh!? Uwaaaaaaahhhhhh!!! Don’t f*ck with me! The sweetness, it’s too high!!!]
? ? ? : [Can you stop speaking as if you’re being mysteriously killed from somewhere?]
Serious-senpai : [Shaddup! How can I not act like this, Kaito still hasn’t finished with half of his girlfriends, you know!? There’s nothing but despair, he’ll be flirting with either you and Lilia next anyway! Don’t f*ck with meeeee!!!]
? ? ? : [No, I’m not Alice-chan, I’m just her fan……]
Serious-senpai : [……No, you still holding onto that setting of yours? You’re already pushing it……]
