Chapter 179 The Devils Whispers

After that, we managed to enjoy the rest of our dinner without bringing up Umis slip up again.

The food was particularly tasty because Shizuku-san and her dad stocked up on fresh ingredients daily. They gathered everything from the village.

Then they served us some after-dinner tea for us to enjoy in our rooms. When we were relaxing in our room, Shizuku-san came to prepare our beds.

Everyone should take your baths now while I prepare for your beds. How many futons do you need?

Huh? There are three of us here, of course well only need

Suddenly Umi cut Riku-san off.

Well only need two.

Huh? What are you on about? Cmon, its been a long day for me, I want to sleep in

By two I meant one for you and one for us.

Huh?

Us.

In other words, she wanted to sleep with me.

I see. So thats why Shizuku-san asked us this question. I took a glance at her to see her smiling at us mischievously.

You little I know that this isnt my business, but dont you think youre going a little bit too far?

What about it? Its just us sharing the same futon, whats so bad about it? Why are you so against it? What, are you jealous?

Ugh, you little brat

Well, we did this before in the Asanagis house, so it shouldnt be a problem if we were to do it again. But, by the look of it, Riku-san was probably thinking about the other meaning of this action.

Shizuku-san, just give us three futons, please.

Maki? Why are you on his side?

Look here, if we share the same futon, it will be annoyingly cramped there. Besides, youll come closer to me even if there are three futons, right? Its better to lay down three of them to keep it spacious.

We could definitely make it work even if we were to share a futon, but there was a chance that one of us might get pushed out of the futon and end up sleeping on the tatami mat. This wasnt a big problem, but it would be bad if we ended up catching a cold because of it.

Umi-chan, what Maki-kun is trying to say is that a double bed is better than a single bed.

Ah, I see~ Why didnt you just say it directly, hm?~ Are you feeling shy?

Listen to my words properly, would you?

Those two were totally in sync, werent they? Well, whatever, since that statement convinced her, I should just keep my mouth shut.

Then, lets take our bath now, Maki. We wouldnt want to get in Shizuku-sans way would we? Lets take our time while were at it~

Mm. What about you, Riku-san?

Ill take a dip after you guys are done. Its more relaxing for me that way.

So you want to be alone with me after all, Rikkun?

What are you on about?! Jeez, Im your customer, you know? Treat me like a customer properly

Hehe, will do~

Even after the whole situation with Reiji-kun, there wasnt an awkward air between the two of them. Have they already talked it out? Well, they both were adults, what was a kid like me doing, worrying about them?

Ah, right, Umi-chan, Maki-kun, do you have time?

Yes?

When we were about to go to the open-air bath on the first floor, Shizuku-san called us over.

We turned around, thinking that she probably forgot to tell us about something important. Then, she came closer and whispered to us.

The men and womens baths are usually separated by a large fence, but when I was cleaning the place earlier, I forgot to lock the door of that fence. Normally, only employees can pass through it Well, you understand what Im trying to say, right?

We looked at each other before nodding quietly.

If you want to take a bath together, then go ahead. That was what she meant.

Ah, but dont get overboard, okay? You two are the only ones wholl be using the place, but its still a public place. Ill turn a blind eye toward it, okay? Just think of this as a thank you because Reiji disturbed your date.

Shizuku-san, has someone ever told you that youre a nosy person?

Theyve been saying that since I was little~ Cmon, get going already~

Then she pushed us away.

Shizuku, what did you guys talk about?

Hehe, I just told them not to be naughty and enter the baths separately. Right, didnt we use to take a bath together

Idiot Stop that! Theyll hear you!

I could hear an interesting conversation from inside the room. Well, we should just follow Shizuku-sans instructions and get going quickly.

L-Lets go, Umi.

Y-Yes!

Thanks to the devils whispers, my heart that had calmed down, started beating faster again.
