After they put all their luggage in the hotel, they went out to visit Lake Toya which was located right beside the hotel.
Lake Toya is part of the Shikotsu-Toya National Park. In addition to the lake itself, the Toyako region features hot springs and an active volcano, Mount Usu, which last erupted in the year 2000. The area also offers many fishing, hiking, and camping opportunities.
Looking at the lake, Shizuno said, "I can't see anything special about this lake."
"Well, the lake is just a lake after all."
Haru also thought the same, but this lake was very famous since it also had become the name of Gintoki's wooden sword.
On Gintoki's wooden sword, there were "Lake Toya" words on it, showing how popular this place was since this place was also usually being used as a student for a study tour for the students.
"So what should we do?" Shizuno asked.
"How about we try Usuzan Ropeway?"
"Sure."
Both of them were walking next to each other, holding each other's hands, talking to each other while laughing. It was very enjoyable, and at the same time, they felt that there were only two of them in this whole world.
Entering the ropeway, there were only the two of them inside, and Shizuno couldn't help but kiss him right in public.
"........"
Haru was speechless since this girl always loved to kiss each other whenever there was a chance so he had gotten used to it. He accepted the kiss and fought her back, or rather, it was a one-sided battle where Shizuno was being massacred by him.
When they parted their lips, Shizuno fell weakly on his chest, feeling weak because of the kiss, but she had to admit that it was nice. She snuggled into him and said, "I hope that the time can be stopped." She wanted the time to stop so she could stay together with her loved one without the need to think about something complicated such as Savior, Metaphysical, etc, enjoying the life of a normal girl with him.
"We can go again in the future," Haru said while hugging Shizuno's waist.
"Um."
Shizuno nodded happily and buried her face on his chest since it felt nice.
When the ropeway stopped, they arrived at the observation deck, and from this place, they could see panoramic views of Lake Toya and neighboring Showa Shinzan.
"Shizuno, do you want to take a picture?" Haru asked.
"Picture?" Shizuno looked at Haru curiously.
"Remember what I have said to you before in your house?"
"You mean when there is nothing about me in my room?"
"Yes." Haru nodded and asked, "So how about we take a picture so you can place it in your room later?"
"....."
Shizuno was dumbfounded, but then she nodded without hesitation. "Let's take a picture together."
"Good."
Haru took out a camera on his bag and asked someone to take a picture of them there.
When the photo was taken, Shizuno and Haru could see the picture of them smiling happily and full of love with Lake Toya as their background.
Shizuno smiled and then pulled him to take another photo since she wanted to fill her room with the photos. She also thought that in the future, they should take another holiday somewhere again, taking a picture of their precious moment together.
Then they spent most of their days, walking around to enjoy the scenery around Lake Toya, and enjoying various activities such as fishing, trying a footbath, eating various local foods, etc.
Haru thought that Shizuno would be tired, but it seemed that he underestimated her stamina.
Shizuno was a Savior, and her stamina was better than normal people, but in this situation where both of them were dating each other, she pretended to be tired and asked him to piggyback her.
Haru could only agree with a helpless expression, but he didn't complain when he could feel the feeling of fullness and softness behind his back which made him realize that it was worth it to bring her to this place.
After they had spent their days walking around, they returned to the hotel to enjoy the private hot spring bath inside their rooms.
Lake Toya was famous for its hot spring resorts and in one of those resorts, Gintoki usually bought his wooden sword.
Haru entered the bath first since he thought that Shizuno was too shy to enter together, but it seemed that he was wrong since she also entered together with him.
Wrapping her seductive body with a white towel didn't reduce the allure of Shizuno's body, or rather it increased her allure several times. She tied her hair in a ponytail so her hair wouldn't be wet when she stayed on the hot spring bath. She tucked her hair behind her ear, lowering her head shyly when she noticed his predatory eyes were on her, but at the same time, she was amazed when she observed his body.
Haru couldn't look away, and in the end, he bit his own lip to wake himself up from Shizuno's allure. He also used "Ripple" and "Light Magic" to calm himself.
"Sorry, Shizuno, you're very attractive."
"No - No..."
Shizuno smiled and felt confident, then she boldly...
"Do you want me to wash your body?"
"......."
Haru was wondering whether this girl was trying to torture him at this moment.
---
In the end, Haru was able to stop himself from becoming a beast by sheer of his willpower and it seemed that he had grown up since he could slightly control his anaconda, but he wouldn't do this kind of thing since it was dangerous and holding it, didn't mean that he had lost the desire so when it burst out then...
After they cleaned their bodies, they enjoyed the hot spring bath together, staying next to each other while enjoying the stars and the scenery tonight.
"I have heard that there is going to be fireworks tonight," Shizuno said.
"Yes, from what I have heard in the evening from May through October there are daily fireworks. I think we're lucky to be here at this time," Haru said.
"Yes, I am very lucky."
Shizuno moved closer and snuggled into him, then pulling Haru's hand to hug her body. She looked at him and asked, "Can I sit on your lap?"
"...If you sit on my lap, then I might not be able to hold back, you know," Haru said with a speechless expression.
"It's alright," Shizuno said without hesitation.
"......."
Haru then put Shizuno on his lap, trying to hold himself to stop his anaconda from getting hard even though he knew that it was impossible.
"I can see something come out from the water," Shizuno said with amazement since this size was very huge, right?
"Please don't say anything."
Shizuno curled her lips, then rested her body on his chest, and suddenly she thought about a lot of things that happened after she met him.
"What are you thinking?"
When Haru's voice fell on her ears, Shizuno said, "You know... I have always felt that my family is my prison and a chain that is chained me down so, during that moment, the dream from my previous lives is my only salvation and the reason why I have always slept before because I can see the happiness where I don't need to think about my family."
Haru hugged Shizuno's body from behind and kissed her neck, then asking her in a low voice. "Then what about now?"
"Now...?"
Shizuno blushed and felt that her body was very hot, but her mind was very sober.
"Now, I don't care much about my previous lives."
"...Is that alright?" Haru asked, wondering how Shizuno was able to throw away all the memories from her previous life because of him, especially when she was very dependent on the memory of her previous life before.
"It's alright since I have you now."
Shizuno turned her body, staring at his eyes, caressed his cheek tenderly, and showing a happy smile on her face.
"It was true that I'd sometimes think about what would happen if I didn't date you, wondering whether I would date Haimura Moroha, having a normal high school life, but.. right now, I can be so sure that I love you, Haru.
"I want to be with you forever and I don't care about the memory of my previous life, so please don't leave me, alright?"
Haru stared at Shizuno and felt glad that he had stolen her from the protagonist.
"I love you, Shizuno."
Shizuno kissed his lips without hesitation. She knew that before she felt warm about the care and protection from her lover in her previous life, but right now, she wasn't Witch of Netherworld or she was the wife of Shu Saura, right now, she was Shizuno Urushibara, and she had fallen deeply to Kasugano Haruka.
