Banami blinked and said, "What are you saying, Suze? I don't understand."
"Keep pretending. I can't be bothered with you anymore. I'm going to help Xiaodeng pack her things."
Naturally, in order to take care of Xiaodeng, Su Shi took the initiative to apply to be in the same dormitory as her.
After Suze left, Banami received a text message from overseas.
"We've arrived in London safely, don't worry."
After reading it, Banami felt somewhat pleased and began packing her things.
But instead, all we heard was the sound of the sliding door opening.
"You've changed your mind?"
"What change of mind?"
Then, he heard a voice that did not belong to Su Shi.
He turned around and saw the figure of a pink-haired girl with her hands behind her back, seemingly looking around at Hanami's room.
"Do you like the roses I gave you?" Banami said with a grin, her tone completely different from when she was talking to Suze earlier.
Immediately, the girl's eyes darted around, and she said, "I thought you were going to deny it."
"Why deny it? Do you think I don't know Anon-chan or the boy who gave you roses in Kyoto?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Ai Yin said coquettishly.
Banami walked over and gently put her arm around the girl, causing Aine to tense up immediately.
"Wait a minute, there are girls from Yuuchika outside." After all, the corridor is just one door away, and since everyone has just moved in, you can hear footsteps and laughter coming and going.
"Well, if we just put it behind this door, no one will notice."
If you want to seek thrills, you have to go all the way, Hanami thought to herself.
"Honestly, now everyone knows I have a boyfriend, and a bunch of gossipy girls are asking me what he's like," Ai Yin said softly.
"So what did you say?"
"I said my boyfriend is a big idiot, a super big idiot, and a womanizer who cheats on me with several women at the same time," Ai Yin said, raising her little fist.
"He's such a nasty person, Anon-chan. I suggest you break up with him immediately and date me. I don't have many good points, but my only good point is that I'm devoted to one person."
"Huh?!" Ai Yin thought to herself, what nonsense are you talking about!
"Look, I'm perfectly content just holding you. Isn't that enough of a devoted love?" Banami said smugly.
Ai Yin raised her head, glared at the other person slightly, and said, "Shameless."
Banami paused for a moment, and then Aine also fell silent, creating an awkward atmosphere.
Suddenly, the two spoke at the same time.
"I'm sorry about what happened this morning..."
Then, both of them seemed to show a hint of surprise in their eyes, and Banami couldn't help but smile and say, "Let me go first."
Aiyin nodded gently.
“At that time, I wanted to be honest with Xiangzi. I just wanted to express to you that I wanted you to be happy for the rest of your life, and I didn’t just say it. But I was too impatient and didn’t consider your feelings.”
"Me too, I shouldn't have lost my temper with you like that, even though I know you meant well."
“Then we’re reconciled.” Banami gently raised her finger, making a small hooking motion.
Aine gently hooked her finger on it, but she still pursed her lips and said, "However, my thoughts haven't changed."
"My thoughts will not change. I will do many, many more romantic things to make you unable to leave me, Aiyin."
The girl's nose tingled with emotion. Although she knew that the final outcome she chose was separation, at least in this moment, she truly felt the happiness of being in love.
"Hmph, you mean giving roses? That's so tacky, so incredibly tacky. I'm worried I'll lose face in front of Midorikawa and the others for having such a vulgar boyfriend."
"It was Su Shi who said that. She said you like such vulgar things."
We can't pretend we didn't hear that.
"That damned Soyorin, I'm going to settle the score with her."
After saying that, Aine left in a loud and boisterous manner, seemingly having reverted to being that carefree girl.
Moreover, I'm becoming increasingly excited about this trip to Kyoto.
Chapter Forty-Two: Ai Yin's Ingenious Plan to Secure the World, But She Lost Little Lamp and Broken Plain Clothes
"Soyorin, are you really not coming with us to the hot springs?"
Although this White Heron Inn is somewhat old, its hot springs are quite famous. Moreover, the entire inn has been booked by Haneoka for the past few days, and there are no other guests, so it feels more reassuring to soak in the hot springs.
After Aine returned to her room with Suze and Kodama from Hanami's room, she packed her things and couldn't wait to try the hot springs.
"Hmph..." Su Shi snorted coldly and did not answer.
"Haha, Soyorin is still angry? But you were the one who spoke ill of me first."
Aiyin, who had just returned to her room, took a swipe at Su Shi, and Su Shi suffered a lot of losses because of this.
"Then Xiaodeng and I will go soak first. Su Shi, you should come with us later." Ai Yin said in a light tone.
Then he pulled Takamatsu away.
"Anon-chan, what happened between you and Su Shi?"
"It's nothing, don't worry, we'll make up soon."
Aine smiled and comforted the little animal. Apart from Suze, she hadn't even told Takamatsu Akari about her relationship with Banami.
She didn't want the other person to worry, and she also knew that Xiaodeng secretly admired that boy.
A short while later, the two arrived at the women's bathhouse, only to find it was already packed with people.
"Haha, it wasn't that smooth sailing after all," Aine chuckled dryly.
The two happened to run into the three sisters, Red, Green and Blue, who also seemed to want to be among the first to experience the famous Kamo River Onsen.
Hong commented, "It seems like everyone's thinking the same thing, Anon-chan."
Looking at the long queue, Aine felt a little desperate. All she wanted was to soak in a nice hot spring. Was that so difficult?
Just then, the girl glanced casually at the men's bathhouse next door; it was empty. That was to be expected, since the inn was currently empty except for Banami...
Ai Yin's eyes lit up immediately, a good idea popped into her mind, and she quickly pulled Xiao Deng aside.
"Anon-chan?"
“Hey Xiaodeng, how about we go soak in the hot springs in the men’s bathhouse next door?” Aiyin suggested her brilliant idea.
Xiao Deng's eyes widened in surprise: "But isn't that where boys bathe?"
"There's only one boy in our school right now, Banami, and he's not in the bathhouse. Don't you think that's a waste?"
Since this is a bathhouse that Banami has booked, why shouldn't I, as his secret girlfriend, go in and soak in it? It's not like I'm bothering anyone else.
"Anon-chan, you're so smart!" Little Lantern praised sincerely.
Aine's nose almost popped out of her head. She scratched her head and said, "Oh dear, that's why the Japanese are so rigid! Back when I was in England..."
Before she could finish speaking, Xiaodeng said, "But, while we were inside, Banai saw her classmate go in to take a bath..."
"It's okay, I'll just send him a text message and ask him to come later."
At this moment, Ai Yin was somewhat glad that Su Shi hadn't come with them, otherwise she would never have agreed to Ai Yin's absurd plan.
So, after sending a text message to Banami, Aine secretly ran into the men's bathhouse with Kodama, and sure enough, there was no one there.
Aine and Takamatsu Akari thus monopolized the men's bathhouse.
"As expected, Yuqiu are all good kids; they never overstep the rules."
At this moment, Aine is wearing a pink two-piece swimsuit, while Takamatsu Akari is wearing the school's school swimsuit.
"Xiao Deng, don't you have your own swimsuit?" Although it was indeed a hot spring, the two of them still came wearing swimsuits.
“I haven’t been to the beach,” Takamatsu Akari said softly.
Looking at the small lamp, Aine didn't know what the situation was like in Takamatsu's family. However, every family has its own difficulties, so Aine didn't press for details. Instead, she said softly, "Oh, I see. Then let's go to the beach together sometime. I'll pick out a nice swimsuit for you."
But as soon as she finished speaking, she heard a familiar boy's voice.
"Are you going to the beach? I want to go too!"
Then, Aine's eyes widened as she saw Banami, wearing beach shorts, walk in as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
"You...you...how did you get in!" Ai Yin exclaimed in a panic, quickly covering her chest and then standing in front of the small lamp.
In contrast, Xiaodeng just blinked in surprise.
"This is a men's bathhouse, so what's so strange about me coming in to soak in the hot spring?" After saying that, Banai slowly walked into the bath.
"But didn't I text you to tell you not to come over yet, that I was soaking in the hot springs here?!"
Could it be that he didn't receive her text message?
"If it weren't for Aine reminding me, I was about to take a nap. When I found out you were bathing in the men's bathhouse, I rushed over here," Hanami said, seemingly quite relieved.
Ai Yin covered her face and said, "I actually overestimated your integrity."
"Oh, don't say that. We're all wearing swimsuits anyway, so let's just pretend we're playing on the beach. Am I right, Akari?" Hanami said to Akari Takamatsu next to her in a lighthearted tone.
Then, Xiaodeng nodded gently; she didn't really understand why Aiyin was so excited.
Aine thought to herself, even though that's how it is, there are other things that bother her even more.
As expected, because Aine was covering her chest, it made Banami look at her chest in her two-piece swimsuit with some concern, and then compare it with Takamatsu Akari wearing a swimsuit.
It's hard to imagine that Xiaodeng, who looks so small, like Xiaomu, could be so different in appearance.
You can't really tell normally, probably because Xiao Deng always has her hands in front of her chest and her head down. While she can't be said to be hiding her large breasts, they are still quite well-endowed.
In comparison...
"What are you comparing?!" Feeling a little embarrassed, Aine gently tapped Hanami's head with a chop.
Banami couldn't help but sigh, "What a pity about my Aine."
"Waaah, you still said it, you still said it!" He knew perfectly well that this was what she cared about most.
The little lamp beside them watched the interaction between the two, tilting its head slightly as if it were a little strange.
"Wait a minute, what are you two doing?!" Aine looked up in surprise at the new guests.
“Soyorin, why are you…” Aine looked at Soseki, who had appeared, with some surprise.
Su Shi said with a dark face, "I couldn't see you in the women's bathhouse, so I guessed you would be nearby."
"Haha, Su Shi is really smart."
"Chihaya Aine, you're really more lewd than I imagined, actually asking... asking Hana to come and take a bath together."
Although Mom agrees to your relationship, she will absolutely not allow it to progress too quickly.
"Wait...this is a misunderstanding. I told him not to come over, but he came running over anyway. What could I do? Xiaodeng can vouch for me!" Aiyin explained.
Banami shrugged slightly, seemingly offering no explanation.
However, Su Shi had a different opinion: "I think Aine deliberately told Banami not to come over, using this method to notify him that you were in the bathhouse, and he would naturally come over. You could also shift the blame onto him."
"Chihaya Aine, your little tricks might fool Akari and Hanami, but don't think you can fool me."
Ai Yin was stunned. Wait, is that even possible?
Or is it that she subconsciously thinks this way on purpose?
No, no, her subconscious wouldn't be so shameless; this was all an accident.
Ignoring Aine's hesitation, Su Shi gently unbuttoned her white yukata, revealing a black two-piece swimsuit underneath. Her full figure, usually hidden beneath the restrained school uniform, was now on full display.
In particular, as she walked, the spot that Aine was concerned about involuntarily wobbled with each step...
Banami's eyes seemed to be glued to the screen.
Su Shi walked into the hot spring pool, and as her body became wet, she appeared even more aroused.
Su Shi pretended not to know and said, "Why are you all looking at me like that? Is there something strange about me?"
Ai Yin couldn't help but exclaim, "Soyorin, your body looks so lewd!"
