Chapter 11 - Mixed Bathing With Senpai

"Wow, it's a very elegant public bathhouse."

When I entered the building, I found the scenery of a public bathhouse. I like this atmosphere, which is different from that of a regular public bath. If this was in my neighborhood, I would go there every day.

"That's right, Sanada-kun. But it doesn't look like there are any customers at all. Could it be that we have the place to ourselves?"

"I don't think that's the case. Ah, sorry. Entry for two, please."

The waiter arrived and we quickly paid. The kind-looking old man smiled at us, which made me feel comfortable.

"Aiyo. We didn't get any customers today, so you guys have the place to yourselves."

"Eh, is that so?"

"Yeah. Well, have a nice soak."

"Thank you very much! YAY, Sanada-kun, let's take our time in there! Come on, let's go, let's go!"

"S-Senpai!?"

I wonder if I got excited when I came to the public bath, or because Tsuchiya-senpai pulled my hand and tried to take me to the women's bath… Well, it's possible if there are no other customers… To be honest, I want to see senpai's rocket b***s…

No, of course I shouldn't!

"I-I'm not allowed in the women's baths!"

"Ah, that's right! I'm so sorry for what I did… Let's talk a lot from the other side of the wall. After you!"

Senpai went into the women's bath in a very high state of tension. Did she really want to come to the bathhouse that badly? …Okay, I'll enjoy myself too!

So I went into the men's bath, quickly undressed and went into the bathroom. Ah, there's really no one else here. I can relax as long as I want.

But in the women's bath next to this one, Tsuchiya-senpai is… Oh, it says no peeking. There doesn't seem to be any holes in the wall, so there's definitely no peeking. Good, this way we can avoid making a mistake.

"Phew… It's very nice."

Soaking in the hot water made me feel as if all the fatigue in my body was suddenly released. Being able to relax in a public bathhouse that is practically reserved for private use after work like this is too good to be true.

"Hey, Sanada-kun, can you hear me?"

Suddenly, I heard senpai's voice from the other side of the wall. It seems that senpai is soaking too.

"I can hear you. I can hear you pretty well."

"Hey, it's great to have the place only for us and be able to relax, isn't it? (I can't peek. But just the thought of talking to a naked Sanadakun is enough to make me burst out of my reason…!)"

"Yes. Thank you very much for today, we've come to a good place thanks to you, senpai."

"Ehehe, I'm glad Sanada-kun is happy. By the way, being able to talk alone in the bath like this…it's kind of like having a mixed bath. I feel like we're in a real mixed bath. Don't you think so too?"

"Eh…? Ah, yeah. I-I guess that's true."

A real mixed bath… Well, it's true that there's a wall separating us, but it's probably not an exaggeration to say that… Ah no, I'm suddenly feeling embarrassed when I think about it. No, no, no. I'm not an adolescent junior high school student anymore, I'm not getting excited when I can't even see senpai!

"By the way, my b*****s are getting bigger again recently. It's a nuisance because the bigger they are, the harder they are on my shoulders."

"H-Heh… T-That must be hard for you…"

Please stop, senpai… That topic is too stimulating for me right now! Ah, I have to make sure I don't get a nosebleed…

"Ah, your face is red now, isn't it?"

"Of course I'm going to turn red because I'm taking a bath!"

"Ahaha, indeed! But I can easily imagine how flustered Sanada-kun is."

"Hu…"

"But you've seen your girlfriend's b*****s and other stuff. What do you think, do you like mine or hers better?"

"Huh!?"

As if to make things worse, senpai asked me an outrageous question. Senpai's idea of my girlfriend doesn't really exist, so of course I like her b*****s more than hers…

"This will stay a secret between us two, so tell me~ Hey~, come on, Sanada-kun."

Should I pretend and say I prefer my girlfriend's? But I… I…Honestly, senpai's b***s are… No, senpai overall is…

"…Senpai's, I like them."

"…Eh? T-Then, more than your girlfriend's, mine is…"

"..."

What a crazy idea, I answered that I prefer senpai's when it would have been better to lie. I don't think this would reveal I'm acting about having a girlfriend, but… I'm not surprised if she thinks I'm an a*****e who's into other women. Ah… I've failed her, haven't I?

"…Hmm, senpai?"

After I answered, senpai went silent for a while. I immediately called out to her, unable to bear the atmosphere.

"….Oh no… I'm so happy…"

"Huh?"

"…N-No, it's nothing! I see… Ehehehe. Then do you want to see my b***s?"

"I-I can't do that! I-I'll be getting out first."

To cover up my mistake, I got out of the bath and headed for the locker room… But senpai's reaction… She seemed to be very happy.

"…Ah, Sanada-kun really said he prefers mine… My face is seriously hot right now… I'm so happy… Ehehehe… Today will be the anniversary of the day when Sanada-kun praised my b***s!"
