Chapter 86
For Ryuichi, his days with Shizuna and the other girls were truly blissful and fulfilling. Although there was no denying that they were clearly out of step with the rules of the world, the girls and Ryuichi were still enjoying their days of happiness to no end.
The days passed by in this way, and finally the day came when Ryuichi promised Shizuna that the two of them would take a trip alone togetherto the hot springs, of course.
Sorry to keep you waiting, Ryuichi-kun.
No prob. Alright, lets go.
Yes.
It was no longer unusual for the two of them to go out together like this, but for both Ryuichi and Shizuna, no matter what the moment, the time they spent together was irreplaceable.
Take care, you two.
After being seen off by Sakie, Ryuichi and Shizuna made their way to the bus stop. The hot spring inn they were going to visit had quite the good reputation, and people often recommended this particular inn if one wanted to go on a trip to the hot springs.
Chisa and Satsuki had also wanted to go with them, but they decided not to third-wheel the two this time and backed down.
Its still cold, huh?
Yeah. Still pretty chilly even though spring breaks about to come to an end. We should try our best not to catch any colds, alright?
Alright. But, if you do catch a cold, Ryuichi-kun, Ill nurse you like last time.
I wonder what youre talking about, Ryuichi joked with a wry smile. But, if thats how you want to play he continued.
You shouldnt be asking for sex too much, then. You know how you get a little zoned out for a while after you hit your peak? Im sure thats one of the ways you can catch a cold.
Well, since these words were ultimately just to poke fun at her, Ryuichi wouldnt really refuse having intercourse with her, and he did not intend to hold back if Shizuna asked him to do it or if he wanted to do it himself.
Now, what would Shizuna say to Ryuichis words? Up until a little while ago, she would have blushed and cast her gaze downward, but after months of spending time with Ryuichi, she seemed to have naturally developed a certain tolerance for these kinds of topics.
I cant do that. Having sex with you feels so good and makes me so happy. And, I know that Im not the only one who feels happy; you do too, Ryuichi-kun. I can tell through the skin-to-skin contact we make.
So, I wont be stopping anytime soon~
Geez.
He patted Shizunas head, thinking that she had really become a good woman. Underneath the sky where the winter chill had yet to completely disappear, it was as if the temperature rose steeply only around the two of them.
In the first place, the two of them had recently been like this even at their school, and there were rumors that they would definitely be voted Best Couple next year.

For sure. But Ive read in guidebooks that its by reservation only. If someones already made a reservation in advance, well have to give up.
Muu If that happens, lets just make out in the bathtub in our room.
I mean, thats just gonna be too cramped
Lately Shizuna had been expressing her love for Ryuichi in a truly non-stop manner. Of course, Ryuichi did not dislike this, and in fact, it was one of his great joys to be desired by the woman he loved.
Howeversince shed been influenced in no small part by Chisa and Sakie, there was no doubt that Shizuna becoming like this was, in a sense, expected and even inevitable.
Ah, its here.
The next few hours or so were likely to be tedious, as they would be traveling by bus. Sitting side by side in the quiet bus with few passengers, the two of them slowly waited for them to arrive at their destination.
I have some snacks with me. Here you go.
Thanks.
Ryuichi popped the chocolate candy offered to him into his mouth. It seemed that Shizuna had prepared a variety of sweets for the trip, and it felt like they were having a childrens picnic.
Shizuna put a long biscuit stick into her mouth and held it out toward Ryuichi, who responded by putting the other end of the stick in his mouth.
Ryuichi proceeded to take bite after bite of the snack as he slowly approached Shizuna, who seemed to be showing her joy with her whole body. Incidentally, although there were few passengers on the bus, that didnt mean there werenone.

In other words, their passionate flirting session was visible to the people seated next to them across the aisle, and two high school-aged girls were blatantly watching them with curiosity.
Alright, guess Ill go with the usual.
Asking for a pocky game like this was nothing more than her indirectly asking for a kiss. So, the moment there was only little left of the stick, Ryuichi went ahead and reduced the distance between him and Shizuna to zero.
Mmm?!
He suppressed his desire to tell the surprised Shizuna not to get too engrossed, and placed his hand firmly behind her head so that she could not escape.
Shizunas eyes grew more and more intoxicated, almost as if heart marks would appear in her eyes at any moment, and Ryuichi pulled his face away just as her switch was about to flip on.
The restll have to wait until the inn, okay?
Alright.
But still, it was going to be a long journey. Needless to say, the two of them had made out enough to let everyone around them know they were lovers, even without kissing or body touching.
And then, finally, after a few hours of turbulent shaking, they arrived at the hot spring inn they were looking for. Like the surrounding scenery, the inn seemed to be well cared for and had a really beautiful gate, which impressed not only Ryuichi and Shizuna, but also the other travelers.
Lets go.
Yeah.
They entered and first told the receptionist that they had made a reservation for two people. While Shizuna was talking with the receptionist about various matters, Ryuichi looked around and saw four people who piqued his interest.
There was one man walking with three beautiful women by his side, and they were such beautiful women that they stimulated a mans instincts because of their figure.
That guys a pretty smooth player, huh.
However, because Ryuichi himself had relationships with several women, he could clearly understand the kind of relationship between those four.
They were indeed beautiful women who made him want to take them to bed, but Ryuichi had absolutely no intention of doing anything like that nowthat was just how fulfilled he was with Shizuna and the others.
Shizuna, Imma head to the toilet for a bit.
Got it.
Ryuichi called out to Shizuna before he headed for the restroom. After finishing his business, he was on his way back to Shizuna, deep in thought on how he was going to spend the rest of the trip with Shizuna. Then he bumped into someone.
Watch it, dammit.
Hed inadvertently uttered those words on the spur of the moment. They both hadnt been paying attention, so neither of them could really be faulted for this since they were both in the wrong.
Crap. Ive got to apologize.
Nevertheless, thinking that he might have frightened them for the words that hed uttered on the spur of the moment, Ryuichi immediately turned around, thinking that he had to apologize.
However, the person he had bumped into had already walked away, and Ryuichi lost the opportunity to call out to them.
Haaah, I hope they dont mind it too much.
With a sigh, Ryuichi returned to Shizuna, but for some reason he found her drooping her head.
Whats wrong?
Well I told her that the mixed bathing facilities were already fully-booked, and this is what happened.
Ah, dont worry about it.
A disaster for sure,Ryuichi thought, deciding to console Shizuna later. However, Ryuichi had also been looking forward to taking a mixed bath with Shizuna, so although he was disappointed, he put his hand on Shizunas shoulder and said that it could not be helped.

Come on, lets go. Theres more to this place than just the mixed bathing.
I know Alright, now that its come to this, were going to have more fun with the other things this place has to offer!
Thats the spirit, Ryuichi said as he smiled.
The two of them had not yet decided what they would do on their trip, so that would be the first step. However, both Ryuichi and Shizuna were confident that whatever they did would be a pleasant memory, perhaps because they had the one they loved by their side.
