Episode 14 – We take a bath together!?

In the end, Mirei san passed me and me around the middle of the gold.
“That was fun.”
“You’re really good at it, Mirei san”
“I’m good at combat.”
What? We are talking about a game, right? You don’t play in the real world, do you?

“Forget about that.”
Mirei san moved her face closer to me.
“Shall we take a bath together?”
“Y-Yes?!”
I thought she had stopped saying that recently, but I didn’t think she would come here.
“We have never taken a bath together yet.”
“I still think it’s too early for us…”
I am sure there are not many high school students in the world who have joined a bath together.

“Yesterday you said you’d do anything! I thought Masa would never lie to me.”
When she says that…
“All right! I’m in!”
I decided to make up my mind.

“I knew it would be spacious…”
I can’t get used to the thought of being alone in this space every time.
“I’ll go in first.”
At first I used to take the indoor baths, but the indoor ones are a little too big for me, so I’ve been using the open-air baths every day lately.
“It’s so relaxing~”
I like the atmosphere as it gets darker.

“There you are.”
“Mirei san?!”
The open-air bath was so comfortable that I had forgotten about it. It helped that I always had the habit of wrapping a towel around my waist.
Mirei san is also properly wrapped from top to bottom. Of course, I didn’t have an evil heart from the beginning.
“Can I sit next to you?”
Mirei san is next to me.
I can’t turn my head to the side.
“Are you nervous? Cute.”
She pats my head.
“I’m not nervous.”
“I know you’re not. You’re not nervous.”
She treats me like a child.
What would the people at school think of me? I think our images are quite different.
But I am neither of them… we will talk about this another time.

For a while I am too embarrassed to look to the side.
“The stars are so beautiful, aren’t they?
She said
“You are beautiful too, Mirei san”
I replied,
“What?”
“Ah.”
I answered immediately. I thought, “So this is what I learned in biology about spinal reflexes…”!
When I looked to the side, I saw that Mirei san was bright red.
“I’m going to go wash my body first.///”
“Uh-huh.”
I completely embarrassed her. However, I think it was inevitable because Mirei san has silver hair, amber eyes, and a cool and gentle atmosphere.
There is nothing more beautiful than to see someone like that in the bathtub!
Not knowing what to do, I looked up at the night sky.

After that, we continued in silence and got out of the bath.
At dinner, we naturally talked about the test and the fact that I had already done all my work so I did not have to do it this week, but it seemed that Mirei san was feeling a bit sore.

“Tomorrow we have school, so let’s go to bed a little earlier, okay?”
“I guess so.”
Usually it’s around eleven o’clock, but today I went to bed early.
I might be used to being a cuddle buddy by now.
