Holiday activities

Shopping, working, and wandering aimlessly.

Volume 4, Part 5: Yukino gazes at the night sky alone.

Clang—a sound unique to hot spring pools came from nearby. Actually, I'd been wondering for a long time what that sound was. Was it the bathtub?

After quickly washing my hair, face, and body, I immediately soaked in hot water.

It felt like soaking in a hot spring.

After rinsing off the sweat, a feeling of comfort gradually spread throughout my body.

The visitor center has a large public bathhouse. For all kinds of overnight events organized by the school, from graduation trips to field trips, the bathing times for male and female students are staggered.

However, I am currently in the bathhouse inside the management building.

Because we discussed it so late, there was only enough time left for one group to use the large public bathhouse. However, we had three groups: boys, girls, and Totsuka, so time was clearly insufficient.

Later, we decided that the boys would use the public shower room in the management building. It was no different from a regular family bathroom, with only one person allowed in at a time. Anyway, no boy would be happy to shower with another boy, so we just went with it.

Although it's not that I can't shower with Totsuka, just thinking about that scene... well, doesn't it feel a bit ominous? What if Totsuka is actually a girl? My penis would definitely get excited; what if Totsuka is a boy? If my penis still gets excited, then there might be something wrong with my sexuality.

So, I'll just wash it by myself each time.

For men, showering is really just a quick rinse; it doesn't take much time at all. If I showered after Totsuka, I might have soaked in the hot water and enjoyed it slowly, but in fact, I showered right after Tobe and Hayama, so I only soaked for a few seconds before getting out.

After drying myself off in the changing area, I reached into the basket containing my clothes and started groping around.

"Underwear, underwear... um?"

Just as I grabbed my underwear, the changing room door opened. Even if I hurriedly put it back on, it was too late. Waaaaah! Master! The enemy is attacking!

Totsuka opened the door and poked his head in.

"Ah, eight..."

"

Then, time began to turn again.

"Ah, ah, waaaaah! I'm so sorry!"

"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! I'm sorry too!"

Totsuka quickly closed the door, and I quickly put on my underwear, T-shirt, and shorts, taking less than ten seconds in total.

"Let's switch, let's switch with you."

I called out to the door, and then Totsuka very carefully and slowly pushed the door open three centimeters. After confirming through the crack that there was no problem, he breathed a sigh of relief and went into the changing room.

"I'm sorry, I thought you were already done washing..."

Totsuka bowed his head and apologized to me. When he looked up, our eyes met, and then he blushed and looked away... Why are you blushing? Even I feel embarrassed.

"Well, I'm going to take a shower."

"Oh, okay."

The two remained silent and stared at each other in bewilderment once again.

"Um... I need to take off my clothes..."

Totsuka clutched his T-shirt, raised his tearful eyes, and looked at me with a reproachful gaze.

"Your staring like that is making me a little uncomfortable."

"Oh, right. Sorry, sorry, I'll go out now."

Even if we're both guys, it wouldn't be very pleasant to be stared at by someone while we're changing clothes.

I closed the changing room door and left, the sound of water behind me particularly bothering me.

That said, this isn't quite the bathing scene I know. Is God stupid? Does He want to die? At least turn the tables... no, even if you turn the tables, it's still just as stupid.

Hayama and Tobe have returned to the cabin at the campsite.

Both of them were leisurely playing on their phones, but Hayama was using a tablet-type device. His fingers swiped across the screen with a cool and stylish motion, making him look like an elite. However, I still have to reiterate: regardless of whether people who flaunt such devices think they are very capable, the truly capable one is not the user, but the device itself. Wake up!

There was a deck of cards at their feet, but there was absolutely no way they would ask me to play. The only sounds in the room were the occasional laughter and chatter from Hayama and Tobe.

I laid out my quilt at the back of the room and lay down, then rummaged through my luggage, but couldn't find anything to pass the time. Although Komachi had prepared the luggage, it was impossible to be very thorough in such a short time.

No problem, these days you can do almost anything with just a phone. So I casually played around with my phone, waiting for the Duke of Zhou to summon me to sleep.

At that moment, I heard the conversation between the Ministry of Revenue and Hayama behind me.

"Hey, Hayato, what are you watching? Porn?"

"No, I'm just looking at a reference book that's been scanned into a PDF file."

"Wow! What did you say that was? It sounds amazing!"

No, there's nothing particularly impressive in your conversation.

However, scanning reference books into PDFs and carrying them around sounds convenient. But with a large number of reference books, the weight can be quite astonishing, and you might even forget to bring one.

"Hayama, you have a really good mind."

I'm just talking to myself; it doesn't matter whether the other person hears me or not. Lone wolves often talk to themselves like this.

But Hayama was formed from a false tenderness, so naturally he couldn't possibly miss it.

"It's not that good."

"No way, Hayato's grades are terrible! Isn't he ranked very high in the literature group?"

The word "disgusting" was originally used to describe something bad, but nowadays young people have reversed its meaning, just like saying "I don't like it at all."

"That's just because he has good grades..."

Ye Shan didn't know how to answer, and gave an ambiguous smile.

Is he the kind of guy who separates test scores from intelligence and makes things complicated by his words?

"What do you mean 'just good grades'? Aren't you always ranked at the top?"

"But there is still snow above."

…………

Okay, I understand. I discovered this by accident.

Why am I always content with third place?

Because the first and second place winners had already been decided.

Appearance, personality, and intellect all combined… This sense of despair is like seeing Goku and Vegeta fuse. Why do people like this exist in the world? At least let me win in the Chinese literature subject…

I was feeling down and preparing to go to sleep when the door clicked open.

"Phew... I'm done washing up."

Totsuka entered the cabin and closed the door behind him. He dried his still-damp hair with a towel, and the scent of shampoo wafted over as he passed me. Totsuka sat down on the floor and took out a hairdryer from his backpack to dry his hair.

Her rosy skin and wet hair after her shower created a poignant effect, captivating me completely.

He finally swept his hair up to make sure it was completely dry, then let out a satisfied sigh.

"I'm all better now..."

"Well, it's about time to go to sleep."

After Hayama answered, both Hobe and Totsuka began preparing for bed. I had already laid out my quilt and was lying down, so I had nothing to do; I was truly prescient.

Totsuka laboriously carried the quilt over and spread it next to mine. He glanced at me, patted his pillow, and asked:

"Can I...sleep here?"

"……sure."

Our eyes met, and the embarrassing incident that had happened at the bathhouse earlier resurfaced in my mind. Even now, thinking back on it, I still feel incredibly ashamed. Totsuka actually saw me… I had no choice but to ask him to take responsibility and support me for the rest of my life.

Totsuka didn't seem to care much, lying down in a completely unguarded position. Hey, hey, hey, if you roll over in your sleep, I might just kiss you!

After Ye Shan laid out the quilt, he reached for the light switch.

"I'm turning off the lights."

With a snap, the light bulb hanging from the ceiling went out.

"Hey, Hayato, don't you think this feels a bit like the night of our graduation trip?"

"Yeah, I have that feeling."

Hayama's answer was somewhat perfunctory, probably because he wanted to sleep.

"...Let's talk about the people we like~"

"don't want."

I was a little surprised that he flatly rejected the Ministry of Revenue's proposal.

"Haha... I'm a little embarrassed."

Totsuka chuckled awkwardly.

"Why? What does it matter? Come on, come on... Okay, okay, I know, I'll go first, alright?"

The Ministry of Revenue only brought up this topic because it wanted to say something.

Hayama and Totsuka probably shared the same thought, and both sighed with a wry smile.

"To be honest, I—"

We don't even need to listen to know that the Ministry of Revenue must have feelings for Miura, which is why he kept trying to talk to her.

"I think Ebina is pretty good..."

"...Really?"

The person he mentioned was unexpected, and I couldn't help but ask him a question. The Minister of Revenue, not immediately recognizing who was asking, hesitated before replying:

"Huh? Oh, what's this? So the penguin is listening~ I thought you were asleep since you weren't reacting~"

"Hmm, but I'm a little surprised. I thought you liked Miura."

"Forget it! I simply can't bring myself to do it to her... and it's too terrifying."

So you also find her scary... Judging by that, almost all boys are afraid of her. Hey, even if she were a ghost, not everyone would believe it. Miura's level of terror has reached the level of a major disaster.

"However, I see you talk to Miura quite often."

"Hmm... Oh, isn't there a saying, 'To shoot a man, first shoot his horse; to capture a thief, first capture his king'?"

"No matter what I think, Miura is the 'King'."

However, I can surprisingly understand Hobe's feelings. The more you like someone, the less you dare to speak up. Guys are all quite aware of this.

"Yui is pretty good too, it's a pity she's an idiot."

Yes, she is indeed an idiot, but I don't think it's your place to say that.

"Moreover, she is quite popular, and the competition is fierce."

...Okay, I can understand.

Everyone likes gentle girls, especially unpopular guys who often mistakenly fall for them, and the number of times they do so is astonishing—it's a huge harvest. Their fishing skills are no joke; the big fish they catch would make even the most talented little fishermen envious.

Therefore, I was neither surprised, wavering, nor taken aback, nor frightened, nor shaken, nor surprised... What's going on, when I was clearly wavering?

I sighed quietly, while the Minister of Revenue continued speaking.

"No guy would want to pursue Ebina, so I guess I'm going against the grain."

Ebina belongs to the upper class and is quite cute, but unfortunately, her interests are so unusual that boys keep their distance from her. However, her openly discussing her hobbies might also be a way to protect herself. People with genuine interests would probably deliberately hide them. Maybe I've discovered something I shouldn't!

The Minister of Revenue then realized that he had been the one talking, so he turned to us.

"And what about you?"

"A girl I like? Girls... I don't have any particular ones I like."

Totsuka doesn't have a girl he likes. Then, does he have a boy he likes?

The Ministry of Revenue skipped over my excited expression and then asked Hayama:
