Wait, wait, this is strange. Something strange is happening hereā¦ā¦ Eh? Could it be that I came to the wrong onsen and went to the one Sieg-san was supposed to be entering?
Noā¦ā¦ but the person talking to me just now was obviously Sieg-san, so she knows Iām here, right?
As I was confused by whatās 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 downā¦ā¦ This onsenā¦ā¦ Alright! With the water being this whitish and cloudy, it should be safeā¦ā¦ No, canāt really say thereās anything safe about it.
[It was a surprise for me when I heard about it tooā¦ā¦ but when we become lovers, we apparently need to take a bath together.]
[I remember hearing Luna talking about it to Lili once.]
The story certainly sounds familiar. Rather, isnāt that the prank by Luna-san that Lilia-san actually suffered fromā¦ā¦ so with Luna-sanās punishment, I thought that ended things.
However, overhearing their conversation, in comes an unexpected Sieg-san!? I donāt think she would be the type who would take such a conversation seriouslyā¦ā¦
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.
Thatās the face of someone who knew that Luna-san was just speaking bullsh*t and was just going along with it.
[Well, honestly speakingā¦ā¦ I was just feeling a little bit of childish jealousy.]
[The last time we were at the beach, with the flow of conversation, an opportunity to ask about this unexpectedly appearedā¦ā¦ and I heard that everyone but me had taken a bath together with Kaito-san.]
[ā¦ā¦Now that you mentioned itā¦ā¦ That really was the case.]
Thinking back about this, that really was the case. No, itās 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.
[Thatās why, since this was a great opportunityā¦ā¦ but well, you knowā¦ā¦ Of course, Iām feeling embarrassedā¦ā¦]
I think her having such an embarrassed look on her face was downright illegal. Moreover, her reason was an extremely lovable oneā¦ā¦ one that I couldnāt refuse at all.
[Errr, in that caseā¦ā¦ Would you like to have a drink with me?]
When I finally broke the ice and told her so, a really happy smile appeared on Sieg-sanās lips.
[Also, even though it doesnāt have shoulder straps, Iām currently wearing a swimsuit, so you donāt have to be so nervous.]
[Or perhapsā¦ā¦ Would you rather me not wear one?]
[N- No, thatās not what I meantā¦ā¦]
[Iām sorry. It was just that your reaction was somewhat interesting.]
Todayās 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 wasnāt 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, arenāt they?]
[Thatās right. There are also no clouds today, so we can clearly see the starry sky.]
[I feel like Iām living in the lap of luxury here.]
I agreed with Sieg-sanās 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 otherās cups.
Hmmm, I really feel like Iām having a very luxurious time. Especially with the calm atmosphere of Sieg-san, I feel like the peaceful atmosphere around us is the best.
[ā¦ā¦Feels kind of like that time, doesnāt it? You know, when I visited Sieg-sanās house and we had a drink on the porch together.]
[Thatās right. It was also a beautiful starry sky at that timeā¦ā¦ that was already more than two years ago, wasnāt it?]
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.
[ā¦ā¦Kaito-san, can I get a little closer?]
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 sideā¦ā¦
At that moment, I suddenly felt Sieg-san tense. It seemed like the blush on her cheeks wasnāt just because of the hot water and alcohol.
ā¦ā¦This is that, isnāt it? It isnāt just me whoās feeling nervous here, but Sieg-san as well. I guess itās not cool for me to be the only one flustered hereā¦ā¦
With that thought in mind, I suppressed my nervousness and gently reached for Sieg-sanās shoulder and hugged her body close, a little surprised by the soft, slippery touch.
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 usā¦ā¦ and after Sieg-san and I silently looked at each other, we lightly exchanged a kiss.
[ā¦ā¦Ahh, thatās right. Iām sorry, Kaito-san, but I actually lied about one thing.]
[The truth is, Iām not wearing a swimsuit right now.]
[ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦]
Unnn, I was thinking that I couldnāt feel her swimsuit even though I was hugging her close to meā¦ā¦ but if itās possible, I wish she would have told me this right before we left the onsen. Hearing about this now, Iām starting to feel very conscious of it.
