"I've said my piece. Don't remember it wrong, okay? I won't be responsible for that."
Although she could only guess as to why Wendy was asking her where to find a hot spring, Miko felt there was a high probability that Kaito had sent Wendy to ask her.
Honestly, if that were indeed the case, she was actually a bit worried about whether Wendy would get jealous or heartbroken.
Even though Wendy and Mei's previous behavior made her feel like the two of them didn't seem to mind that guy Kaito seeking out other girls.
After all, no matter how you look at it, that guy Kaito had actually sent Wendy to ask her where he could take another girl to a hot spring.
"Then I'll be going now."
After getting the location of the hot spring from Miko, Wendy prepared to leave.
"Wait a moment!" Seeing Wendy about to leave, Miko hurriedly asked her to wait.
"What is it?"
Not expecting Miko to still have business with her, Wendy looked at her, wanting to hear what she had to say.
"You're asking on behalf of someone else, right? So, after you tell that guy the place I mentioned, do you want to go shopping with us?"
Under Wendy's gaze, Miko invited Wendy with a smile to go shopping with her and Makoto.
Regardless, she felt it was necessary to help Wendy out a bit.
"Next time. I still have things to do, so I'm leaving first. Bye-bye."
After saying this, Wendy vanished directly from Miko's sight.
Because she had just been reading a novel and reached a climactic part, she wanted to hurry back and continue reading.
Anyway, regarding strolling, Kaito's side counted as strolling, so there was no need for her to stroll here.
And more importantly, with each 'self' doing different things, only then could they make the best use of everything.
This little girl isn't actually angry, is she?
Subconsciously looking around, Miko couldn't help but think this.
Although she didn't have any evidence, she vaguely felt that Wendy might be angry.
"What's wrong, Miko?" Seeing Miko seemingly still thinking about something, Makoto asked her what was the matter.
"Nothing. Let's continue."
Deciding not to worry about so much for now, Miko planned to continue her shopping trip with Makoto.
Although she initially invited Makoto to go shopping to create an opportunity for Kaito and Lumine to be alone, that didn't mean she just wanted to take Makoto somewhere else and be done with it; she truly wanted to go shopping with Makoto.
And just after Wendy left this side, Kaito on the other side also learned where the hot spring was.
Right now, he was looking everywhere with Lumine for a place to soak in a hot spring.
Phew...
Still can't find it...
Wondering if there simply wasn't a hot spring here at all, Lumine still didn't know where to find one after asking several people in a row.
If this went on, she would have to go do something else with Kaito.
Although it didn't necessarily have to be a hot spring, a hot spring made it very easy to make that kind of thing happen.
Sigh.
If it's not here, then so be it...
I'm not really prepared to do that anyway...
I feel like I'd die of embarrassment...
Thinking about how Miko could do that kind of thing so naturally, Lumine sincerely admired her.
Honestly, if it were possible, she really wanted to observe how Miko did it back then.
But she knew that was impossible.
Even if such a thing happened now, Miko definitely wouldn't let her watch.
"Finally found a place. Let's go there now."
Just as Lumine was thinking about some strange things, Kaito, who had gone to ask a passerby, returned.
"Huh? You found it already?"
Lumine, who was just about to give up, hadn't expected Kaito to find it right at this moment.
"Yeah, I just asked." Kaito nodded, then continued, "Let's head over now."
Then, as if suddenly remembering something, Kaito stopped after taking a few steps.
"By the way, Lumine, do you want to prepare some clothes yourself? Or buy what they have there?"
"Let's buy theirs."
After thinking for a moment, Lumine gave this answer.
Because if she prepared her own clothes, she would have to think about what kind of clothes to choose, so Lumine decided to see what kind of clothes they offered for her to pick from.
Anyway, no matter what kind of clothes they were, they were provided by the establishment, so she could just choose then.
"Alright then, let's go."
Seeing that Lumine planned to buy theirs, Kaito decided to do the same.
In any case, as a man, a pair of swimming trunks was completely sufficient for him; he didn't need to consider so much.
If it were for Acheron's side, he'd actually have to consider what style of swimsuit to wear.
Of course, if it were just himself, he definitely wouldn't wear anything, or perhaps just get a three-point bikini.
Although Kaito was already accustomed to the female body, he still had to let this side have a look.
As for Lumine, he guessed she would probably choose that kind of one-piece swimsuit, or perhaps a bathrobe.
Anyway, it wouldn't be a three-point bikini; besides, hot springs weren't suitable for that kind.
After a while.
"The clothes for the hot spring are in that outer room. Go get changed; I'll get changed now too."
After paying and asking a few things, Kaito said this to Lumine, who was standing in front of the hot spring.
Because this shop was an indoor hot spring, specifically within a room for paying guests, it wasn't like those public hot springs with crowds of people; it was just Kaito and Lumine.
"Okay."
Nodding, Lumine went into the room Kaito mentioned.
Wow...
So many bathrobes...
Upon entering, a pile of bathrobes came into Lumine's view.
Of course, these were all single-use and wouldn't be reused.
Should I just choose a bathrobe?
Standing in front of the bathrobes, Lumine wondered if she should just pick one.
But soon, she saw that kind of one-piece swimsuit.
Hmm...
Maybe I should choose this instead?
But...
A bathrobe could actually allow for 'that kind of thing' to happen...
Her gaze shifting back and forth between the bathrobes and the one-piece swimsuits, Lumine couldn't help but fall into a dilemma.
Both had their advantages, and for a moment, she really couldn't decide which one to pick.
Hmm?
They even have this kind?
Her gaze was suddenly attracted to another swimsuit. Lumine discovered it was a three-point bikini, and it used much less fabric than usual—one could say it only covered the key areas.
This kind...
This is for couples, right?
So exposing...
Just looking at it, Lumine felt herself starting to blush.
She couldn't help it; she felt that three-point bikinis were already revealing enough, but this one was, on top of being revealing, even more explicit.
Speaking of which, this seems to be a room exclusively for girls, right?
Kaito shouldn't have seen what's in here, right?
Suddenly thinking of this question, Lumine's heartbeat couldn't help but accelerate.
