Fortunately, Kiyono Makoto has a thick skin and doesn't care at all about the disdainful looks from the junior high school students.

A moment later.

Makoto Kiyono has finished warming up:

I'm going swimming.

"that......"

Nishimiya Shoko looked up, her pretty face instinctively flashing a flattering smile:

"It seems like Kiyono-kun hasn't applied sunscreen yet... Shall I use mine?"

If there were only two people at the beach, Shoko might have been able to muster the courage to shyly help apply sunscreen, but now that everyone is at the beach, she simply can't bring herself to ask.

Makoto Kiyono's gaze shifted downwards, landing on the sunscreen in Shoko's hand, his voice low and deep:

I'm not happy.

Shoko paused slightly, like a primary school student who had done something wrong, at a loss and nervously holding her breath.

"My sister is worried about him, what is this guy saying?"

Nishimiya Yuzuru clenched her fists, glared at him menacingly, and was about to punch him.

Fortunately, Kiyono Makoto quickly said:

"I've said it before, no fawning smiles, I only want to see Shoko's genuine smile."

Nishimiya Shoko's ears burned slightly, and she blushed as she looked down at her toes:

"I'm sorry, I forgot..."

There will be punishment next time.

Kiyono Makoto reached out and took the sunscreen, politely thanking him.

"Thank you, Shoko-san."

"..."

The afternoon passed by in a flash.

Apart from Makoto Kiyono and his senior, there were no other tourists on the beach. The "Lucky Pervert" trait was not activated again, and they spent a peaceful and leisurely half-day holiday.

After the sun began to set, the girls changed out of their swimsuits and then rode their bikes together to eat.

There aren't many restaurants on the island. We went to another highly-rated restaurant that evening and discovered it was actually an authentic Western restaurant.

After dinner, just as Yuzuru Nishimiya went to the restroom, Makoto Kiyono interlaced his fingers, looked at the girls at the table, and whispered:

"The ice magic scroll has healed. Kato will learn it tonight, Shoko tomorrow, Eriri the day after, and I'll learn it last. Before we go back to Tokyo, everyone will graduate. Is that alright?"

Chapter 120 Futaba: Is a hug okay to replenish mana?

"...I've finished speaking. Who agrees and who disagrees?"

The girls had no objections to Kiyono Makoto's arrangements.

Learning magic scrolls isn't like going on a date; the order in which you learn them isn't that important.

Furthermore, since Kiyono Makoto deliberately fell to last place, even Eriri, who was second to last, nodded in agreement.

"Heh~"

Kasumigaoka Utaha braced herself with her right hand, her gaze shifting as she glanced lightly at Eriri.

This certain good-for-nothing young lady clearly doesn't know the real reason for this order, right?

What are you looking at me for?

Eriri, quite perceptive, crossed her arms and looked over:

"Your eyes are acting strangely, are you planning to play another trick on someone?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha's pink lips curled into a slight upturn:

"Sawamura-kun has a very sharp sixth sense."

"ha?"

Eriri frowned, becoming even more wary.

Seeing that his senior was about to cause trouble, Kiyono Makoto decisively spoke up, interrupting the spellcasting:

"Since no one objects, it's decided then. Everyone, let's hurry back to the hot springs!"

"..."

After a short wait, Yuzuru Nishimiya returned from the restroom, and the group left the restaurant together and returned to the hot spring inn.

Everyone has different lifestyle habits. Some people like to stay up late playing on their phones, some like lively atmospheres, and some like quiet. So when we booked the rooms, we didn't arrange for a shared accommodation. Except for Shoko and Yuzuru who stayed together, everyone else had their own room.

"I'm going back to change my clothes first."

Kiyono Makoto waved his hand, turned around, and went back to his room.

A moment later.

Wearing a white bathrobe, Kiyono Makoto pushed open the door to the corridor and then headed to the luxurious open-air hot spring.

The hot spring has a vintage feel, with the men's and women's baths separated by a tall bamboo fence; the women's bath is on the left and the men's bath is on the right.

This thing's soundproofing is barely effective; you can still clearly hear each other talking.

"call......"

Kiyono Makoto let out a soft breath and soaked comfortably in the spacious hot spring pool all by himself.

Looking up at the sky.

The moonlight was like silver, and the clear night was like dust.

Countless stars form a dazzling Milky Way, a beautiful starry sky that cannot be seen in Tokyo.

Thump ~

From a secluded corner hidden by the bamboo grove, came the sound of a startled deer.

This contraption consists of two bamboo tubes, one taller than the other. When filled with water, it falls due to its own weight, striking the stone below and producing a clear, resonant sound. It used to be mainly used to startle birds, but now it's mostly used as a courtyard decoration.

As Kiyono Makoto soaked in the hot spring, gazing up at the dazzling starry sky, the ethereal sound of startled deer filled his ears, and a long-lost tranquility and comfort quietly enveloped him.

But just a wall away in the women's bathhouse, there was no peace at all.

"...Kasumigaoka Utaha!"

Eriri's voice rang out, both embarrassed and angry:

"What are you doing!"

"Well, Sawamura-kun's question is rather strange."

Kasumigaoka Utaha's hair was already styled and wrapped in a white towel. She was sitting sideways next to Takumi, and her breathtakingly beautiful body was faintly visible through the mist, making her even more alluring.

Let alone the boys, even the girls present couldn't help but want to take a second look.

"When you come to a hot spring inn, of course you come to soak in the hot springs."

Kasumigaoka Utaha's voice is languid:

"What else can we do?"

Eriri sulked and clenched her fists:

"If you're going to soak in a hot spring, then soak in a hot spring. There's plenty of space, why do you have to sit next to me?"

Is it showing off?

That must be it!

As her gaze swept over her senior's alluring curves, Eriri's resentment intensified.

Eriri is very confident in her appearance; she is in no way inferior to that despicable fat woman in black stockings.

But if we're comparing body types...

We can't compete.

Even with her arrogant and haughty demeanor, Eriri had to admit that she was no match for her senior in terms of figure.

Evil Oppai Alien!

Cowgirl!

That much fat, and it hasn't sagged at all... How infuriating!

Defying the laws of physics and resisting gravity is clearly not scientific at all; it must have involved some kind of strange magical artifact!

The senior student's voice was languid and sweet.

"Although the hot spring pool is very large, I took a liking to this spot at first sight, so I sat down here."

Eriri gritted her teeth: "I was first!"

The senior student smiled and said, "Sorry, I came from behind to surpass you."

Eriri: "What do you mean by 'coming from behind'? It should be 'first come, first served'!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha wrote lightly:

"The order doesn't really matter; what matters is who reaches the finish line first. For example, in a 100-meter race, even if someone runs 90 meters ahead, if I reach the finish line first, I'm still the loser."

Eriri breathes directly on it:

"Who are you calling a loser?!"

The senior student raised her hand to cover her mouth: "Sorry, I accidentally let it slip."

"Ugh! That wretched fat woman in black stockings!"

"..."

Apart from the senior student and Zhai Li bickering, the other girls were all quiet.

Shoko hugged her knees with both hands, a white towel wrapped around her head, her gaze occasionally drifting towards the men's bath across the bamboo fence, her pretty face slightly flushed.

(The hot spring pools are only separated by a fence, so... does that count as bathing together?)

Kato Megumi sat in the corner, like a solitary orchid, quietly playing on her phone. As a girl addicted to the internet, her phone was practically always with her.

Futaba took off her glasses and was taking a nap with her eyes closed, looking as if she was about to fall asleep.

at the same time.

Yuzuru Nishimiya was hiding alone, secretly searching on her phone for ways to help her sister steal a man.

"Only by taking the initiative can we win."

"Arrogance inevitably leads to defeat."

"The suspension bridge effect?"

"I need to find a way to get my sister and that guy alone, and then secretly create danger for them..."

"..."

Half an hour later.

Kiyono Makoto got up and left the open-air hot spring pool, returning to his room.

A room for one person may be quiet, but it can also feel a bit lonely.

Kiyono Makoto casually turned on the TV, just to listen to the sound, then looked down and started playing a mobile game.

A short while later, a message popped up on the phone screen:

"Kiyono-kun, are you free now? I'll head over?"

Makoto Kiyono saved and exited the game.

"Just come over here."

"..."

A moment later.
