I endured the humiliation and humiliation while being besieged by the ghost story elder sister.

And Nozomi, who should have been here, was nowhere to be found.

Arisa, who could have slept in a little longer, was also woken up by Honoka's antics.

Then, upon discovering that she was completely naked, and turning around to see Fanxia in the same situation, the adorable devilish girl let out a sharp, violent scream.

Next room.

Nozomi, who was fast asleep on Arisa's original bed, was suddenly awakened by a scream.

He suddenly sat up from his warm bed, his eyes still a little dazed, but then he realized who had shouted just now.

Ximiao grabbed a warm coat and ran out of the room.

Then, he took the room key he had casually picked up the night before, pushed open the door, and went inside.

then.

He witnessed a scene he would never forget: in the room, Arisa and Honoka each grabbed a blanket and stood facing each other on opposite sides of the room.

What are you all doing?

Nozomi asked, somewhat puzzled.

Then, the two of them said in unison, "Why don't you ask what this bitch did to me!"

"..."

Good heavens, things have gotten out of hand. Xi Ling immediately regretted that she had carelessly rolled herself up in the blanket and wrapped the two of them together last night.

However, right now, Nozomi still needs to clear up this misunderstanding between them.

It took him a lot of effort to explain to the two of them why this had happened this morning.

Inside the room, the two, who had finally calmed down, wrapped themselves up in blankets like dumplings and sat on the bed, staring blankly at Xi Ling.

"What's wrong?"

Noticing the strange looks they were giving her, Xi Ling couldn't help but ask, somewhat puzzled.

"Didn't we agree last night that if I beat Arisa in a drinking contest, I could come back here to sleep? What are you doing, Mio? You actually went to Ami's room."

Seeing that her efforts had failed to achieve her goal, Fanxia immediately became dissatisfied and questioned Ximiao.

But the result...

"Haha, didn't you already come back here to sleep?"

Ximiao tilted her head and replied innocently.

"..."

"Pfft~"

Arisa, who was sitting to the side, couldn't help but laugh out loud. It seemed a bit unkind, but she had to admit that what Hio said made a lot of sense.

Knowing that she couldn't find fault with this matter, Fanxia pouted, looking rather unwilling.

a long time.

The restaurant downstairs from the hotel.

The group of people were having breakfast, and the atmosphere around the table was unusually somber.

On the contrary, Aunt Ami, who was also suffering from a hangover and headache, was eating breakfast as if nothing was wrong, observing Honoka and her daughter's reactions with great interest.

It was as if they wanted to find some amusement in the two of them.

Chapter Twelve: Thrilling Hot Spring Punishment

"That...about last night..."

"Can we please not bring this up again! I don't want to hear it, and I don't want to recall it."

Arisa decisively stopped Honoka from continuing, and judging from her expression, she was definitely not in a better mood than Honoka.

I shouldn't have impulsively proposed this competition last night; it backfired and I ended up losing more than I gained. I'm reaping what I sowed.

Thinking of this, Arisa couldn't help but glare fiercely at Nozomi, who was still acting as if nothing had happened.

However, considering that her mother, Ami, was still sitting next to Himio, she had no choice but to hold back her temper and plan to settle the score with Himio properly when they were alone together later.

After breakfast, the group did not return to their rooms, but instead went to the rooftop terrace of the hotel to watch the snowflakes slowly fall.

Ximiao sat on the lounge chair with her legs crossed, following Aza to wherever she went, not giving Arisa and Honoka even the slightest chance to get revenge.

This made the two people, who were eager for revenge, extremely envious.

"Want to go to the hot springs?"

Ashi, who was sitting to the side, suddenly asked.

Before Nozomi could answer, the two who had been waiting for a long time immediately responded.

"it is good!"

"..."

Looking at Honoka and Arisa, whose faces were full of excitement, for some reason, Nozomi felt a cold sweat break out on her back and a bad feeling suddenly came over her.

In the changing room of the hotel's bathhouse.

Ximiao lowered her head, completely unable to look at the exceptionally erotic scene before her.

Besides them, there was also a group of female college students, who had probably just returned from skiing that morning and planned to relax in a hot spring.

So much so that now, Nozomi is completely like the protagonist in a doujinshi, surrounded by all sorts of perks, but she doesn't dare to look.

If one fails the test, then what one faces is social death...

Thinking of this, Ximiao wanted to back out, so she quietly took a step back, planning to run away when the others weren't paying attention.

But just as he got closer and closer to the locker room door, a familiar voice quietly rang out.

"Mio? Where are you going?"

Upon discovering that the boy was trying to run away, Arisa grabbed his wrist, extinguishing his last glimmer of hope.

After quickly removing all of Nozomi's equipment, Arisa dragged the reluctant Nozomi into the hot spring bath.

Even though his light blue eyes were fixed on the uneven stone bricks under his feet, he could still hear the sounds of young and beautiful girls playing and laughing in his ears.

"What's wrong? So many beautiful older women are just soaking in the hot spring without any precautions, Mio, why do you look a little unhappy?"

The girl walking behind Himiko, grinning mischievously, teased him as she led Himiko to the shower area.

"Why so slow?"

Fanxia, ​​who had been sitting on a small stool waiting for a long time, couldn't help but complain when she saw Arisa and Nozomi slowly walking over.

Seeing the two of them, Ximiao silently swallowed her saliva, trying to find Aunt Ami and come to rescue her from their clutches.

But when he looked in the direction of Aunt Ashi's voice, he immediately lowered his head upon seeing that familiar figure and the beautiful women surrounding her, as if afraid of seeing something he shouldn't have.

"Don't expect Ami to come to your rescue, Mio~"

"Fan...Fanxia-jie?"

As soon as Xi Ling was pressed down onto the small stool, she instantly felt a soft, slightly cool sensation against her back, which startled her so much that she shuddered.

But then, Arisa casually brought over a small stool from next door and sat down in front of him in a very nonchalant manner.

At this moment, Nozomi had given up struggling and closed her eyes in despair, hoping that this unbearable time would pass quickly.

After a while.

All that could be heard was the sound of water splashing from the still steaming hot spring pool. Her light golden hair was quite eye-catching, and in no time, Xi Ling's appearance attracted everyone's attention.

"What an adorable child! With that blond hair, is he/she mixed race?"

"Mrs. Ashi, is that the child who came with you?"

Several girls who were already familiar with Ami quickly asked her about it, seemingly hoping to use Ami's connection to get acquainted with Nozomi.

If I could play with such adorable children, this trip would be well worth it.

Before they could even get close, a single glare from Arisa made them too intimidated to approach, so they could only watch from afar.

"You were so arrogant last night, Mio? Why are you all so listless now?"

Arisa, who was sitting with the boy on her lap, felt that she couldn't suppress the smile on her lips. Her softness pressed against his back, causing it to deform slightly.

But Mio wasn't in the mood to pay attention to Arisa, who was still clinging to what happened last night, and was struggling against her own body.

however.

"We're both perfectly sober tonight, so don't even think about running away, Mio~"

Because she needed to wash her hair, Honoka, who entered the hot spring a little later, arrived late and said to Nozomi.

Then, she reached out, trying to take the boy away from Arisa's arms, but even after soaking in the warm and relaxing hot spring for a while, it couldn't warm up Honoka's delicate hands.

The moment the cold fingers touched Himiko, he shivered and couldn't help but give Honoka a strange look.

Fortunately, because of the presence of other people, the two did not continue the punishment of Nozomi.

At least while soaking in the hot spring, they behaved themselves and didn't continue to tease the boy who was getting hot.

When they were all a little dizzy from soaking in the hot spring, they reluctantly left, walking as if they were about to slip and fall.

Inside the changing room, after spreading her clean bath towel on the bench, Ximiao sat down and slowly began to put on her clothes.

Every now and then a cold wind would blow by, clearing his head a little.

Finally, after much effort, he breathed a sigh of relief, put on his clothes, and walked out of the room. There he saw a few people sitting in massage chairs drinking milk in the rest area.

"Um... I'm going back to my room now. I feel a bit sleepy and want to take a nap."
