After having our dinner at this so-called Navy Burger place, we went to the hotel which I had booked. The next day, we would go to the Memorial Ship Mikasa and the Nagai Uminote Park Soleil Hill. I made a mistake thinking that there was an aquarium there when it was actually in Yokohama. When we are in the park or maybe at the museum depending on which atmosphere I find is best, I would confess to her. And on the third day, we will return to Maizuru.
That was the initial plan, at least.
Apart from thinking there was an aquarium here, I made another critical error...
When we entered the room we were assigned to, my eyes were assaulted by a whole lot of pink. Pink lighting, pink bed, pink canopy with pink frills, pink wardrobe, the whole damn room is pink!
"Wow! We got a cute room!" (Zuihou)
"This hurts my eyes a little."
Zuihou threw off her shoes and jumped onto the bed. She managed to get herself a little airtime as she bounced off the circular bed.
"Kyahahaha! It's so soft and bouncy!" (Zuihou)
At least she is enjoying herself, I guess.
"Admiral, This is even bigger and cuter than the one we stayed in Yokohama!" (Zuihou)
"Y-yeah. It is."
Oh my god. It wasn't supposed to be like this.
The hotel I had wanted to spend the night with Zuihou was one that was overlooking the sea. It was expensive, but I was willing to splurge to make this trip memorable for her. I cannot believe I did not make the reservation. I was so sure I did! How stupid am I?!?!
Now, we are some Love Hotel that is located near the shrine. This is the 2nd time we had to stay in one and this situation was absolutely avoidable if I had done the reservation properly.
This was the largest room they have left. It's not cheap for a love hotel. The bed is pink circular, with heart-shaped pillows and a long pillow. There is a pink lacy canopy overhead. At the corner of the room is the little desk. The bathroom is located near the room entrance.
Oh, and there is a flat screen TV in front of the bed.
"What is this? Wah!" (Zuihou)
Some kind of disco ball appeared from the the ceiling and started spinning around, reflecting the lights off it.
I went to the desk in the corner of the room and sat on the chair.
I really screwed up big time...
Hah. I don't know whether to laugh or cry at this point.
"Admiral? What's wrong? It's alright. This room is cute and has a lot of interesting things." (Zuihou)
"It wasn't meant to be like this. The hotel earlier was so much better than...this. It was just a simple press of a button. How did I screw it up this badly? Maybe they have a slot open now. Let me check."
Before I can unlock my phone, a small hand pushed it back down.
"I said it's okay. We don't need to stay in a fancy or luxurious room. Just being with Admiral is good enough for me." (Zuihou)
Sometimes, this girl has a way with words.
But, even though she says that, she must have be disappointed with me for letting such a good room go to waste.
"I'm so sorry we have to stay in a place like this. I still can't believe I didn't have a room reserved."
"It's been a while since I seen you so flustered, Admiral. Hehehe~" (Zuihou)
"I had a plan but I guess that is thrown out of window now."
Actually, maybe not. There is still have one more day. If I'm lucky, the hotel may have a slot open for tomorrow night before we head back to Maizuru.
"Admiral, look! The bath is the same as the one in Yokohama! The one that looks like a pool!" (Zuihou)
I'm kind of impressed that she can still be so happy despite our current predicament.
Oh well. Getting depressed and regretting my mistake is not going to do me any good. Might as well watch some TV.
I got up from the desk and sat on the bed. Huh. The bed is soft but firm at the same time. It's big too. A bit too big for 2 people though. Now, where is the remote?
Ah. There it is, right on the headboard, sitting on top of a file and next to some condoms. There is also some kind of panel at the corner of the head board. That must be what Zuihou pressed earlier to activate that disco ball, which is still shining so brightly. Let's turn that off, and turn the TV on.
"Ahhnn! No! Stop! I'm cumming! I'm cumming! Ahhhh!" (TV)
The first thing I see was porn. A naked woman with big breasts strapped to a chair with a vibrator pressed against her crotch. Her sensual screams of pleasure reverberated throughout the room. I immediately switched it off as soon as her fluids started spraying onto the camera.
Alright... I should have expected that only porn will be shown here. This is a love hotel.
Why is the default volume so loud though? Is it because the rooms here are soundproof?
I hear the sound of mechanical beeps and running water. Zuihou popped out of the bathroom,
"T-the bath is being filled now. There were so many buttons." (Zuihou)
Her face was red. Did she hear those porn noises?
Zuihou's hands were behind her back. She fidgeted about shyly as she glanced at me while facing away.
"Wh-what was that just now?" (Zuihou)
Yep. She heard it loud and clear.
"It was just the TV. Some... drama. You know, like the live-action adaption ones."
"That doesn't sound like a normal live-action adaption." (Zuihou)
Of course she won't buy that kind of reason.
"They have those... kind of shows here, right? Are they the same as your books?" (Zuihou)
"Yeah. I talking about your first question, not the second one. More importantly, did you dig through my stash again?!"
"Must be nice looking at woman with huge tits after all..." (Zuihou)
"I already told you, I bought them for the art and plot. And I have quite a number of books which feature girls just as small as you."
"Pervert..." (Zuihou)
"You were the one that brought it up in the first place!"
"Heh. Hehehe~ Ahahahaha!" (Zuihou)
Seeing Zuihou suddenly burst out laughing made me chuckle as well. Who cares if we are staying in a place like this. So long as we are together, it will be fun.
Maybe...
"Hey, Zuihou,"
"What is it?" (Zuihou)
"Come here."
I tapped the spot on the bed beside me. Zuihou trotted towards and sat next me.
"Zuihou, I have something I want to say to you."
"Ah, you have a really serious expression on. " (Zuihou)
"Listen to me. Ever since the operation was deemed a success, I had some time to think about it. The direction I want us to go, how can we get things to work between us..."
Zuihou was silent. I glanced at Zuihou, who, for some reason, is looking downwards.
"I am rather inexperienced when it comes to love. I have never gotten a girlfriend before. So to be honest, I have no idea how we can do this together."
"T-that means..." (Zuihou)
Zuihou's started shivering ever so slightly. Is the aircon too cold for her?
"Zuihou, I want to do this properly."
With both hands, I clutched Zuihou's hand,
"Zuihou, I love you! Please, be my girlfriend!"
"Eh?" (Zuihou)
Zuihou, eyes full of tears, looked at me with confusion on her face.
"Huh? Wait. Huh?" (Zuihou)
Tears started streaming down her face.
"Zuihou, why are you crying?"
"Eh? Huh? Wait, that means... you are not... breaking up with me?" (Zuihou)
"Wha- Why would I break up with you?"
"Th- Because... this atmosphere..."
Eh? Did I do something wrong? Why is she crying all of a sudden?
"So... You are not breaking up with me?" (Zuihou)
"Why would I do that? I love you! I want to spend the rest of my life with you!"
"Geez! That scared me! The atmosphere got so serious and you started spouting things like not knowing which direction to take or how things can work out between us. I thought you wanted to end this relationship." (Zuihou)
"If that's the case, I wouldn't bring you here at all, wouldn't I? I just wanted to do a proper confession this time."
"Admiral, you idiot! I already accepted your confession before. There was no need to do another one. Geez! You really gave me a fright!"
She buried her face in my chest. I can feel her tiny body shaking like crazy.
I hugged Zuihou tightly as I waited for her to calm down. It didn't really take long though.
"Admiral," (Zuihou)
"Yes?"
She looked up at me and gave a shining grin,
"I love you too. Let me be your girlfriend." (Zuihou)
Those were the words I wanted to hear! If I were alone now, I would be jumping around like crazy. But for now,
"Thank you, Zuihou."
Zuihou closed her eyes and puckered her lips. It was as if she was reading my mind.
I pressed my lips against hers. A warm, fuzzy feeling filled my chest.
I never knew kisses can be this sweet.
