I end up screaming something so ridiculously over-the-top like an idiot character inside my head, because the place I am in right now is truly a peach-blossom paradise.
Exactly as calculated. No, even better than I predicted.
The results exceed my expectations so much that the concerts starting tomorrow suddenly feel frightening.
I worry that some misfortune might strike as backlash.
(No way~~~. I never imagined I would get to bathe with these two.)
The truth is, I had calculated the bathing times of the members.
First, from past experience, I know that Tomomi-chan always comes to the bath earliest in situations like this. Rina-chan naturally knows that too, so I figured she would avoid overlapping and come a bit later.
Specifically, a little earlier than the midpoint.
She would probably aim for a time when, even if she ends up with Tomomi-chan, it would be brief.
There is no zero chance that she might just use the bath in her own room, but that is more likely tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, when coming all the way here after a tiring concert would feel like a hassle.
I myself plan to take it easy in the in-room bath starting tomorrow onward.
So, since Rina-chan flew in today, I thought she would definitely use this bathhouse tonight.
And then there is Mikuri-chan.
She is also in the group that arrived today, so I predicted she would come here tonight just like Rina-chan.
As the newest rookie, timing-wise she would probably avoid coming earlier than her seniors and arrive a bit late.
My main bet was around the halfway point or slightly past it.
That is why I entered the changing room when about one-third of the time slot reserved for Schus Sola had passed.
Just as I was finishing preparations, Tomomi-chan came out of the bathing area together with Mutsumi-san and Junko-san.
After exchanging greetings with them and entering the bath, I found no one else inside. I was alone.
If no one had shown up after that, it would have turned into a lonely bathing scene.
While washing my body and thinking such things, Rina-chan came in.
And then, while I was soaking in the bathtub, Mikuri-chan entered, creating the absolute best possible scenario.
I am deeply grateful to the hotel for reserving this entire one-hour slot exclusively for Schus Sola.
◆◆◆―――――――◆◆◆―――――――◆◆◆
(Yes, yes. Both Rina-chan and Mikuri-chan have such promising futures ahead.)
When I turn my face to the right, there is Rina-chan. To the left, Mikuri-chan. A true two-flowers-in-each-hand situation.
I observe them carefully while making sure my gaze does not become too obvious.
First, Rina-chan.
For a first-year high school student, both her bust and hips are quite large. Compared to me at the same age, she is a bit more modest, but still well above average.
And then there is that narrow, cinched waist.
Combined with that level of beautiful-girl aura, it is impossible not to think she is blessed by the gods.
Well, the other one is also an angel favored by divine love. As a middle school student, her body’s curves are more subdued than Rina-chan’s. Even so, I think she fully meets or exceeds the average for a third-year middle schooler.
Her slender figure pairs perfectly with fair skin, and right now that beautiful skin is flushed from the hot water, naturally drawing my eyes.
That said, I can tell Mikuri-chan’s gaze is also crawling over my body and Rina-chan’s.
Thanks to that, I can sense that Rina-chan is starting to feel uncomfortable.
Here, to prevent any awkward drafts blowing between members, I have to be the considerate one. After all, among the three of us, I was the first to enter.
“…Rina will be getting out soon.”
Just as I was thinking that, Rina-chan took the initiative and beat me to it.
I hurriedly follow suit.
“If I stay any longer I might get dizzy, so I will get out too. Take your time and relax, Mikuri-chan♪”
“Well then, Kayanuma-san.”
“Yes. Rina-san, Erika-san.”
I rise from the bathtub without hiding my proud physique. This is a special extra service for Mikuri-chan. Feeling her hot gaze concentrate on my body feels incredibly good.
Involuntarily, heat builds deep inside me as well, raising my internal temperature. I suddenly feel an overwhelming urge to see my lover and best friend.
(I have to find some time somehow and go meet her. And then…)
I want to unleash all the pent-up feelings from not being able to see her for so long in a passionate rush. To make that happen, I have to work hard at my job too.
