The open-air style lie-down bath had quite a splendid sight. It had the atmosphere of an open-air bath in autumn with a star-filled sky, with autumn leaves and ginkgo trees visible, adding color to the view.
[Itās amazing. By the way, is it always a nighttime environment?]
[Noooo, I heard that the scenery changes according to the time of the daaaaay. For exampleeeee, during the daytiiiiime, you can apparently see the oceaaaaan.]
[Heehhh, not only the environment, but also the scenery itself huh. Thatās pretty elaborate, isnāt it?]
As we talked about this, I looked around the lie-down bath, and a question suddenly popped in my mindā¦ā¦ The pillowās already provided, isnāt it?
Each lie-down bath comes with a wooden pillow, so I can use those without any problemsā¦ā¦ Ahh, but thereās also that one spot where thereās no pillow and the shape of the area where you put your head on is a little strange.
Thereās this dent, or rather, a strange space in that spot.
[Kaito-samaaaa, in this lie-down baaaaath, you can choose from two pilloooooows.]
[Eh? Two?]
[Yeeees. In some caseeees, there may be moooooore, but this time, there will be only twooooo.]
[U- Unnn? Thereās more in some cases?]
I canāt quite understand the way she phrased that. The types of pillows will increaseā¦ā¦ She didnāt say it as additional types of pillows being added in the future, but as āin some casesā. Thatās a rather worrisome phrase.
As I tilted my head in wonder, Illness-san showed me to the lie-down bath equipped with a wooden pillow and spoke.
[The first one is this wooden pilloooooow.]
[This one is, well, a standard one, isnāt it?]
[Itās a little haaaaaard, so you might want to put a towel on it before using iiiiiiit.]
[I seeā¦ā¦ Errr, the other one?]
[Yeeees. It would be this oooooooone.]
Saying this, Illness-san moved to that different lie-down bath I saw earlier, the one with a strange space on the head area.
[This is the other pilloooooow that can be provided this tiiiiiiiime.]
[ā¦ā¦Hoeh?]
A- Ahh, I see, that mysterious dented space was a space for people to sit down onā¦ā¦ Errr, in other words, itās a lie-down bath that was originally designed for that?
No, well, thatās fine and all, but I should really sort out the information I have nowā¦ā¦
[ā¦ā¦Errr, does that meanā¦ā¦ Illness-san would be giving me a lap pillow?]
[Yeeees. If Kaito-sama doesnāt miiiiiind.]
[P- Please wait a moment. No, itās not that I dislike it, but Iām rather concerned for Illness-sanā¦ā¦ E- Errr, is that okay with you, Illness-san?]
I couldnāt put it into words well, but I think I conveyed what I wanted to ask. In the first place, donāt think that Iām just simply getting a lap pillow. Illness-san is currently wearing a swimsuitā¦ā¦ a bikini, at that.
In other words, her thighs are completely unobstructed by anythingā¦ā¦ Lying on top of that is, how should I put itā¦ā¦ The stimulation seems like it would be quite great. No, I have already experienced the lap pillow of someone wearing a swimsuit in the past, but having someone who isnāt my lover do thatā¦ā¦ No, wait, when Shiro-san did that to me back then, I feel like we still werenāt lovers.
Well, Shiro-san was wearing a pareo back then thoughā¦ā¦
Iāll be clear here, Iām a guy tooā¦ā¦ A situation of having a woman as beautiful as Illness-san giving me a lap pillow in a swimsuit is quite appealing and irresistible.
However, in the unlikely event that Illness-san is trying to reluctantly do this just because this is her job, even if that was extremely unlikely, I canāt accept it.
No, I donāt get that feeling at all even with my Sympathy Magic, and Illness-san is the type of person who clearly refuses things she doesnāt want to do, so itās probably not that she doesnāt want to do itā¦ā¦
[Yeeeees. If Kaito-san doesnāt miiiiiind, Iād like you to choose meeeee.]
[Ah, errrā¦ā¦]
That line kinda sounds like it has a different meaning, but Illness-san really doesnāt seem to mind. Or rather, if I can just choose a normal pillow in this situationā¦ā¦ Well, I guess I canāt huh.
Of course, Illness-sanās lap pillow is attractive, but beyond that, thereās no way I can say no to her.
[ā¦ā¦Then, ummm, Iām in your care.]
[Yeeees. Well theeeen, come this way pleaaaaaase.]
[P- P- P- Please excuse me.]
Ahh, I really feel nervous. Perhaps because Illness-san is wearing a bikini, this feels quite embarrassing.
Though I say that, I couldnāt stay petrified at that moment forever, so I decided to just get into the bath, laying my head on Illness-sanās lap.
I first felt the moistness on the back of my head, then an indescribably soft and warm feeling. Then, at the same time, my whole body was enveloped by the warmth of the water.
T- This is pretty badā¦ā¦ My whole body is warm and comfortable, the feeling behind my head is soft and smooth, itās as if Iām in paradiseā¦ā¦ It feels so comfortable that I feel like this might turn into a habit.
If I look up a bit, I can see Illness-sanās face and her upper body, only covered by her swimsuitā¦ā¦ If Iām not careful, I feel like blood would come rushing up my head.
