As the staff had previously said, when the time reached six in the evening, the staff would come to prepare their dinner.
Whether it was Ishigami or Kobachi, they didn't need to go to the restaurant area to eat their dinner; instead, the staff would come to the room to prepare it for them, and they could just enjoy their dinner right away.
Nevertheless, as an old female staff member, when she looked at their room, she couldn't help but smile softly, which caused Kobachi to lower her head shyly and hide behind Ishigami's back.
Meanwhile, Ishigami's face was thick, so he didn't feel embarrassed. Instead, he even asked, "Is it possible for us to book the hot spring?"
"It should be possible. It isn't the golden time for the travel to visit, and there aren't many guests, so you two can book the hot spring if you wish to. Do you want me to book the hot spring for you two for later?"
Ishigami looked at Kobachi and asked, "What do you think?"
"I don't mind."
"Okay, I will help you later."
"Um."
Similar to Onodera, who couldn't walk well, Kobachi was the same, but probably because Ishigami had good skills in this area, there was no pain. But her lower body was so worn out that she needed him to walk.
Nevertheless, before that, the two enjoyed their dinners, and even if there were many of them, they even ate snacks as they were quite hungry after a long activity.
From noon until almost evening, according to Kobachi's knowledge, it should be normal for one to do it in 10 or twenty minutes, or rather, many were even less, yet somehow, her man was just too exceptional and frankly... whether it was her heart or body, they were all full of him that she wanted to stick with him all the time.
"The dinner was quite good."
"Yes, it suits my taste well."
"Do you want to go now? It should be the time."
"Okay." Ishigami nodded and asked, "Let me help you stand up."
"Thanks." Kobachi didn't refuse him and leaned on him. "I felt so sticky."
"It's normal."
"It felt good, though."
Now, while Kobachi didn't want to think about it, she understood why Onodera was crazy about Ishigami and even marked him like a horny dog. Still, watching the red marks on his chest, her face flushed red, and at the same time, she felt that she was so childish.
Probably because she had lost her first time and she had become a woman, she started to reflect on herself since she knew that from the beginning to the end, she had been the one who forced this relationship on him.
However, she also knew that Ishigami didn't hate her since her face happened to be his taste.
Still, if she lost her face, what would he think of her?
Would he continue to stay with her?
'How stupid.'
Kobachi shook her head and didn't bother to think about this question anymore since if such a case happened, she would leave him since she didn't think she was worthy of him.
Her personality wasn't good; her brain wasn't that good either; her only advantage was that she was beautiful, and she also understood why Ishigami would choose someone better.
Yet, even so, she believed that she would be the one who stuck with him all the time.
Even if he lost his handsome face, Kobachi believed that she would still stay with him.
"Are you fine?"
"It's a bit hard to walk, and I am a little sore, but there is no problem."
"Do you want me to help you wash your body?"
"...pervert."
As they arrived at the hot spring pool that they had booked, Ishigami kindly offered his help to wash Kobachi's naked body as he knew that her condition wasn't optimal as she had just lost her virginity, yet why did she say that he was a pervert?
A good guy was the one who had always been hurt, Ishigami thought inwardly.
"But, okay..." Kobachi was a little shy, but she agreed with Ishigami's offer. "But nothing pervy, okay? I am already exhausted..." She might be exhausted, but next time, when she recovered, she thought to do it again.
"You don't have to worry. Look at my pure, innocent eyes. Do you think that I will do something weird to you?"
"..." Kobachi.
Still, as a responsible man, Ishigam washed Kobachi's body, starting with her slender arms, shoulders, small back, waist curves, and smooth legs and then moving toward the two beautiful mounds that perfectly fit on her chest.
"Hmn~!"
Kobachi somehow let out a moan, thinking that his touch was as good as ever. Ishigami was different, she thought, as he prioritized her comfort over his. Still, for her good man, she thought to repay his offer.
"Let me help you wash, too."
"Eh? Are you sure?"
"It's already like this, after all. I will help."
As Kobachi said so, her hands stretched forward toward the stiff part of his body as she tried to comfort him.
"That's good..."
Letting out a comfortable sigh, Ishigami thought that Kobachi had a talent in this area.
Nevertheless, after the two enjoyed their short moment, the two then entered the pool, resting, leaning against each other.
"...you are really a beast."
"Is that a praise?"
"Well, yeah."
"Then, why did you pull my cheek?"
"I don't want you to get cocky somehow."
"I won't." Holding her hand that touched his cheek, Ishigami said, "I am not such a stupid guy, after all."
Kobachi stared at him softly and nodded. "Yeah, I know that... that was why I am with you, after all."
Ishigami looked at Kobachi in surprise and asked, "You are with me... because I am kind?"
"Yup."
"..."
"Don't look at me like that. You should have heard about my family's experience, right? My family was broken after my mother cheated on my father." Kobachi leaned on him as she told him her story. "To be honest, I want to blame her, but she is a good mother even if she is like that, as she doesn't abandon me. Still, I can't say that she is a good woman since she is quite realistic."
"She is broken."
"Fufufu..." Kobachi laughed and nodded with a smile. "You are right about that, but then again, due to that experience, I don't believe that love can't last forever since when one is in a relationship, one will have an expectation of each other, and sometimes, you just can't change the person that you are in love with." She looked at Ishigami and said, "Yet, when I am with you, it is different. I believe I have fallen for you even if I know you are like this, Yuu, so I am sorry that I have done selfish things toward you and caused you much trouble."
Awkward.
This was probably the best way to describe Kobachi's personality, as her childhood experience made her change.
Nevertheless, her wish was simple, and that was to have someone by her side, someone she loved.
Unfortunately, the one that she loved had disappointed her many times, yet even so, her feelings didn't change, and she believed that she would love him.
"It might be weird for me to say this, but you put your love on the wrong person."
"You might be right."
The two smiled and laughed.
"But..."
Holding her hand firmly, Ishigami said, "I will treasure you."
"Um."
Clinging tightly by his side, Kobachi looked up toward the starry night sky. The temperature was chilly, yet even so, her heart was so warm as she knew she hadn't chosen the wrong man to be with.
"Where did you buy such an authentic youkan (red bean jelly), Hayasaka?"
While Ishigami and Kobachi enjoyed their moment together, Hayasaka, who went home, shared her souvenirs with her mistress, Kaguya.
Still, Kaguya was surprised to see the youkan that Hayasaka was wrapped in bamboo skin, the traditional wrapping, which was rare since she usually saw one that was wrapped in plastic due to the Industrial Revolution.
"Nikko."
"Nikko?!" Kaguya, who enjoyed the authentic youkan, was dumbfounded. "Why did you go to Nikko during your holiday?"
"Well..." Hayasaka hesitated for a moment, then said, "Just because."
"Just because?" While Kaguya thought that Hasayaka was weird to visit Nikko during her holiday alone, she didn't care much. "You should go with a boyfriend instead of alone."
'...do you have a right to say that to me?'
Hayasaka let out a helpless sigh, but she didn't say those words out loud, especially after what Kaguya had experienced. Still, she thought for a moment and asked, "So, how was your trip with Kaichou?"
"...it was okay."
"Just like that?"
"Yeah, it was okay."
Hayasaka wanted to say something, but in the end, she held the words that she wished to ask. At the same time, she also kept everything that she saw and heard, but tomorrow, she planned to visit Ishigami to talk about what he planned to do to have such a destructive relationship.
"So, how was Nikko? Was it fun?" Kaguya asked curiously.
"It's quite a good place. Let's visit that place if you have time, Kaguya-sama."
Nevertheless, Hayasaka appeared to have a new hobby, a solo trip; what a nice ring to hear.
However, there was no doubt it couldn't hide her annoyance and her intention to meet him when school started on Monday.
