Kyoto: I just want to be a gentleman

not good.

Watanabe Hideyuki smiled and said to the two sisters who were staring at him eagerly.

"Both Kitano-san, we'll be leaving now."

Chapter 71: Battle in the Lounge (1)

"Bye." Kitano Chiaki, who was always carefree, waved in the direction of Watanabe Hideyuki without even raising her head, and sat there calmly, looking like she had not had enough of the bath.

Then, a red mark immediately appeared on her slender and white waist underwater.

She was pinched hard by her sister Chiharu Kitano and made a sound in pain.

"Ah~"

I heard a strange cry from behind.

Watanabe Hideyuki and Nishii Satomi, who were walking in front, turned their heads at the same time and looked at Kitano Chiaki whose face was flushed.

"I mean..." Kitano Chiaki's cheeks turned red, and under the gaze of Kitano Chiharu beside her, she stammered, "I mean...we are leaving too, leaving, sister."

Then he wanted to pull Kitano Chiharu, who was still sitting next to him, to stand up.

"Do you want to soak in the bath for a while longer? It's really comfortable..." Kitano Chiharu pretended to be reluctant to leave and looked at her sister pitifully.

"Then..." Feeling the murderous intent in her sister's eyes, Kitano Chiaki immediately changed the topic and said, "Let's go, sister. We have something else to do later."

"Oh well..."

Ignoring the situation behind them, Watanabe Hideyuki and Nishii Satomi were already on their way back to the locker room.

"Hideyuki-kun..." Nishui Rimi said softly.

"Ok?"

"I always feel..." Nishii Rimi paused, hesitated for a long time and then continued, "I always feel that Kitano Chiaki and Kitano Chiharu give people a strange feeling... They leave their private hot spring pool alone... and come here..."

"and..."

"What?" Watanabe Hideyuki continued to ask with some surprise.

"I don't know if it's an illusion, but I feel like Kitano Chiharu-san is sizing up Hideyuki-kun."

While saying this, Nishii Satomi looked up at Watanabe Hideyuki... If Watanabe Hideyuki heard correctly, there seemed to be a hint of... jealousy in her tone?

Watanabe Hideyuki scratched his head at a loss. While he was still racking his brains for words, he heard Nishii Satomi continue to murmur softly.

"After all, Hideyuki-kun is so outstanding, and I..."

At the end of her speech, Nishii Satomi's voice became lower and lower, so that Watanabe Hideyuki could not hear what she said at all.

While the two were talking, they had already arrived at the door of the locker room.

"Our Satomi-chan is also very good." Watanabe Hideyuki gently touched Nishii Satomi's head, "You don't have to wait for me later, go to the hot spring restaurant and wait for me, I have something to take care of."

"Okay." Nishii Rimi nodded obediently.

...

At this time, Watanabe Hideyuki had an important task waiting for him to complete.

He needs to find Chiharu Kitano for friendly communication.

He was afraid that the lovable coward would get into unnecessary trouble because of him.

So he quickly walked to the boys' locker room, and when he saw that there was no one around, he put on his invisibility cloak.

There are still twenty minutes until the cloak expires.

That should be enough.

Watanabe Hideyuki took off his shoes and walked slowly on the wooden floor, trying his best to avoid the flow of people while not making any noise with his footsteps.

Kitano Chiharu...where should she be now?

People like them have their own hot spring pools, lounges and changing rooms.

But where is it?

For a moment, Watanabe Hideyuki was like a headless fly, confused.

At this moment, a beautiful figure flashed past Watanabe Hideyuki's peripheral vision.

That silhouette seems to be...?

Watanabe Hideyuki hurriedly followed.

Come closer, Chiharu Kitano?

No, Chiaki Kitano.

Looking at the other person's chest which was not moving, Watanabe Hideyuki was sure.

It's true that you can't find anything even if you wear iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it.

So he gradually checked in the direction that Kitano Chiaki came from, and finally stopped at the door of a lounge with a sign saying "No Admission for Outsiders".

This should be it.

But how should he get in?

Watanabe Hideyuki thought about it, knocked gently on the door of the lounge with his hand, and then just pressed against the wall next to it.

A gentle female voice came from inside, and it was indeed Kitano Chiharu's voice.

"Who? Wait a moment."

Then there was a rustling sound of someone getting dressed.

About two minutes later, Chiharu Kitano opened the door of the lounge and looked around but saw no one. So she walked to the intersection of the corridor again to look for someone, but still found nothing.

"strangeness..."

Kitano Chiharu returned to the lounge, muttered something, and then slammed the door of the lounge.

But if Kitano Chiaki was also present, she would definitely be able to notice something unusual about her sister... She seemed to be getting a little excited.

Watanabe Hideyuki sneaked in when Kitano Chiharu just went out.

Now he is hiding under the bed in the lounge.

His plan was to wait for Chiharu Kitano to change her clothes and leave for the hot spring restaurant, and then find her notebook in her backpack - which contained some information and evidence about her hiring a private detective to track Watanabe Hideyuki.

These were the information he collected in his dreams a few days ago. As long as he got the notebook, he could use a completely new and unfamiliar identity to threaten Kitano Chiaki.

Although this is not a long-term solution, time is very important to Watanabe Hideyuki right now. He can delay it for one day longer. With the increasing points and the update of the points mall, he can always find a new way.

But as time goes by bit by bit.

Kitano Chiharu in the lounge didn't seem to be in a hurry to eat. Instead, she sat in front of the dressing table next to the bed, putting on makeup carefully in front of the mirror.

Watanabe Hideyuki, who was lying under the bed, could only hear the sound of cosmetic bottle caps colliding next to him. He had no idea about the specific situation outside.

He watched as the effective time of [Item: Invisibility Cloak] on the system panel gradually decreased, and he felt extremely anxious.

Hurry up.

Faster.

Watanabe Hideyuki prayed silently in his heart.

There are less than two minutes left before the invisibility cloak is up.

One minute left.

Thirty seconds.

ten seconds.

Watanabe Hideyuki could clearly feel at this moment that beads of sweat began to unconsciously ooze out of his palms, and his heart was beating rapidly in his chest.

If Chiharu Kitano finds out, he'll be finished.

wrong.

There must be something that could help him at this moment.

The more critical the moment, the faster Watanabe Hideyuki's mind worked.

Yes, he has that thing!

Watanabe Hideyuki frantically muttered "system backpack" in his mind.

【Backpack】

Yes, that's it.

Use [Timely Rain (1-day trial card)]

Just when Watanabe Hideyuki was about to change his title on the character panel.

thump.

A slight sound broke the silence in the lounge.

Watanabe Hideyuki watched a bottle cap roll right into his sight.

Then, Kitano Chiharu squatted down gracefully, and her delicate face appeared in his sight with a bit of curiosity and inquiry.

"What are you looking for, Watanabe-san?" the girl asked softly, with a hint of teasing in her voice.

Chapter 72: Battle in the Lounge (2)

At that time, her face was only 0.01 cm away from mine, but after a quarter of an incense stick, the hostess of this lounge will fall in love with me completely because I decided to tell a lie. Although I have told countless lies in my life, I think this one is the most perfect...

Watanabe Hideyuki said this afterwards.
