"Kouhai, let me scrub your back for you."
"If you're scrubbing my back, then scrub my back. How did your hand end up in front?"
"Maybe kouhai's skin is just too smooth. My hand slipped."
······
Conversations like that kept drifting out of the Bathroom. Unfortunately, the room contained only the two of them. If someone who did not know the situation were here, they might have thought the pair were doing something strange in the Bathroom.
Though saying that would not exactly be wrong. They had not gone quite that far, but honestly, it was not all that different.
After an unknown amount of time, Shirai Mio emerged from the Bathroom with a flushed face, not even wearing a Bath Towel.
Her cheeks were visibly red, though whether that was because of the bath or something else was hard to say.
The moment she came out of the Bathroom, Shirai Mio went straight to her Suitcase. Without even bothering to look for underwear, she pulled out a Nightgown and slipped it on.
"Kouhai, why are you in such a hurry? You don't even want a Bath Towel?" Yukinoshita Haruno said as she walked out of the Bathroom.
A Bath Towel was wrapped around her body, but it did nothing to hide her figure. If anything, it only made her look even more alluring.
Shirai Mio merely glanced at her. After all, back in the Bathroom, she had already seen everything she should and should not have seen.
At this point, Yukinoshita Haruno wasn't worth a… forget it. She was still very alluring.
"There's no need. I've already changed." Shirai Mio planted her hands on her hips and showed off the Nightgown she was wearing. Wait, this Nightgown belonged to Shiina Mashiro. Shirai Mio had simply packed it into her own Suitcase while she was at it.
Although she had put on the Nightgown, the emptiness underneath still made Shirai Mio feel a little insecure.
Of course, at the same time, it also added a tiny bit of excitement.
Ahem.
Looking at Shirai Mio pretending to be calm, Yukinoshita Haruno's lips curved into a faint smile. While they were bathing together just now, she had tested Mio a little. There had been some slight resistance, but not much, which meant there was still room to go further.
She could not try anything more today, though. There were still six days left, giving her plenty of time to bring her relationship with Shirai Mio another step forward.
She had never expected that one day she would actually look forward to something like this so much.
But this feeling was not bad. At least, not for her.
"Oh, right. Senpai, if you get hungry, remember to tell me. Ordering takeout is pretty convenient here, so you can get whatever you want~" Shirai Mio lightly waved her Mobile Phone.
"You really are familiar with how people live around here~"
"After all, I came here plenty of times before, and I usually keep an eye on how things change over here too." Shirai Mio lied with a perfectly serious expression.
Whether Yukinoshita Haruno believed her or not was up to Haruno. At least Shirai Mio believed her own story.
After drying her hair, Shirai Mio flopped straight onto the soft bed. She had only just taken out her Mobile Phone and had not even unlocked it when Yukinoshita Haruno's casual voice sounded beside her. "Kouhai, I can see everything."
Hearing the warning, Shirai Mio silently tugged at the hem of her Nightgown. This was only because she was not wearing panties. If she had been, then being exposed would hardly matter. It wasn't as though Yukinoshita Haruno had never seen her like this before.
After hesitating for a moment, Shirai Mio finally got up, found a pair of panties in her Suitcase, put them on, and then flopped back onto the bed.
There were quite a few messages from her friends on her Mobile Phone, all asking how things were going on her side.
After replying to them one by one, Shirai Mio sent Rita Ainsworth another message, mainly asking how Shiina Mashiro was doing.
Not long afterward, Rita Ainsworth sent Shirai Mio a photo. It showed Shiina Mashiro painting in front of her worktable.
Just as Shirai Mio expected, even after changing locations, Shiina Mashiro would still find time to paint.
"By the way, do you want to chat with Mashiro?"
"Sure. Let's just video call."
After receiving Shirai Mio's affirmative answer, Rita Ainsworth immediately sent her a video-call invitation.
When Shirai Mio accepted, Rita Ainsworth's lovely face appeared on the screen. Judging by her damp hair and Nightgown, she seemed to have just finished bathing.
"Yo. How's the trip so far?"
"I spent most of today traveling. I'll go out and have a proper day of fun tomorrow, then tell you what I think."
"Fair enough." Rita Ainsworth had originally wanted to chat with Shirai Mio a little longer, but Mio's voice immediately drew the attention of Shiina Mashiro, who had still been painting off to the side.
Feeling Shiina Mashiro's eager gaze, Rita Ainsworth smiled helplessly and said, "Mashiro looks like she really wants to talk to you. I'll give her the phone."
As Rita Ainsworth finished speaking, the Rita on the screen was quickly replaced by Shiina Mashiro.
The moment Shiina Mashiro saw Shirai Mio, a trace of obvious excitement appeared on her usually calm face. She said softly, "Mio, I miss you."
"I can tell. Same as I said before—if you miss me, you can call, message me, or video chat anytime."
Shiina Mashiro naturally understood that. But compared with video calls and the like, she would much rather stay by Shirai Mio's side.
While Shirai Mio was comforting Shiina Mashiro, she suddenly felt a hand settle on her leg. She glanced sideways at Yukinoshita Haruno and shot her a pointed warning look, silently telling her not to try anything.
Unfortunately, Yukinoshita Haruno was not the sort of person who could be intimidated. Especially after seeing Shirai Mio's look, her hand began sliding upward along Mio's leg.
Noticing the subtle change in Shirai Mio's expression, Shiina Mashiro asked in confusion, "Mio, what's wrong?"
"N-nothing. I just accidentally kicked the blanket onto the floor." As Shirai Mio spoke, she tried to use her other leg to stop Yukinoshita Haruno.
The end result, however, was that both of her legs fell under Yukinoshita Haruno's control.
And Shirai Mio realized that once Haruno had control of both legs, her posture had become rather compromising as well.
She had a feeling that if she kept chatting, then with Yukinoshita Haruno's personality, Haruno might do something even more indecent.
With that in mind, Shirai Mio pretended to remain calm and said, "Mashiro, make sure you take care of yourself over there. Don't stay up late, okay? I'll have Rita keep an eye on you."
"Um, I have something to deal with over here, so I might have to hang up first. We can talk again later."
"Mm." Shiina Mashiro looked at Shirai Mio reluctantly, but still waved at the Mobile Phone.
The instant Shirai Mio ended the video call, Yukinoshita Haruno was already on top of her. Smiling, Haruno said, "Chatting with another girl while you're together with Senpai? Senpai is going to get upset."
