“…Wow, Izumi, it’s huge, isn’t it?”
“Eeeek?!”
Of course, the assailant turned out to be Ayaka Utsumi.
Had she snuck up on me while my eyes were closed? She had somehow settled beside me and was cupping my chest from below, wiggling her fingers.
“Wow… this is really dangerous, isn’t it?”
“I-I don’t need to hear any weird impressions!”
“Izumi… this is your fault!”
Excuse me, Ayaka is the one doing something wrong here?!
Help me! There’s a criminal trying to lay hands on a live JK right here!
“L-Let go…”
“Hey, what’s wrong with that? We’re just girls, right? No big deal.”
“Yes, there is?!”
“You’re small and utterly adorable, but you also have this terrifying weapon here. This is a crime!”
The crime is what you’re doing right now!
I flailed my arms, trying to resist, but there was no way I could outmatch Ayaka, who was taller than me. So I tried to send a look for help around me.
“Haahhh…”
“Both of you, calm down. If it gets too noisy, it’ll be a nuisance.”
Aki was still lying there with her eyes closed, uninterested, while Yukari let out a chuckle as if she found the situation amusing.
And Suzuha…
“…”
She was completely turning her eyes away from us.
No, I can see you glancing over, so please help me out here!
“Your skin and hair are so incredibly soft… How do you take care of them? I thought you said you don’t use any cosmetics on the broadcast. I saw you had absolutely nothing earlier…”
Having said that, Ayaka lightly pushed me forward, creating a gap behind me, then sat there and hugged me, starting to explore my body with curiosity.
“Ugh…!”
“Is this the power of youth?!”
It was ticklish, making it hard to keep my body steady…!
In the end, all I could do was bow my head and tense up my body.
“So, Izumi, how do you take care of yourself? Just a little hint for your sister?”
“I-I don’t really do anything…”
“Really?”
“Y-Yeah…”
I only put on lotion when I think of it, and I don’t do any rinsing or treatments whatsoever. I carried over the habit of finding that bothersome from my previous life as a guy.
Still, I was considering using the hand cream Natsune gave me last Christmas.
“…You’re teasing your sister, aren’t you?!”
“Gyaaaah?!”
I was just telling the truth?!
“That’s weird… You don’t do anything special, but you still look like this! You need to apologize to Yuyika!”
“Huh?”
“Then, do you maybe take something special regularly?”
“Cup noodles?”
That’s my secret weapon—adding pork to them!
“…Apologize to Yuyika!”
“Hiiii?!”
“Huh?!”
…I’ve been sensing an enormous killing intent from Suzuha for a while now; is this really okay?
I looked up at Ayaka struggling to express this question, but she continued speaking as if nothing was wrong.
“You have no excess fat elsewhere… This won’t do. The only way is for Izumi to apologize with her body!”
“What are you, some kind of creepy uncle?”
“Hey, there’s no reason for Utsumi to be jealous…”
I was seriously thinking there was absolutely no reason for that.
To be precise, there’s none for any of us in the Star’s Flow members.
I didn’t know the third generation well since I hadn’t met them yet, but all the other members of Star’s Flow were exceptionally attractive.
I even thought that when the first and second generation all gathered, looks might be part of the qualifications.
Just look at Utsumi; she’s a total beauty.
Her long brown ombre hair works perfectly with her kind expression, and her tall figure matches Jiya, no problem.
She said my chest was big, but her own is even bigger than mine.
Why would she even be jealous of me?!
Well, I won’t deny that I’m the level of the world’s top beauty!
“…Really? Izumi thinks I’m pretty?”
“Yeah…”
“…Aah! Izumi, you speak so elegantly!”
“Huuh?!”
Suzuha said that while tightly hugging me from behind.
“Uh, um…!”
As I just said, Ayaka’s chest is a monstrous size compared to mine.
And here we are, completely bare and with nothing on, meaning that feeling reaches me directly.
“Ugh… Huh?!”
“Izumi’s body is warm, it feels nice…”
The sensation of her tongue licking in my ear made my head heat up.
It was already ridiculously hot in the open-air hot spring, and with my head getting hot too, I started to feel dizzy pretty quickly.
“Gahhh…”
“Hey? Izumi?”
“…”
“Izumi?!”
In the end, I fainted while hugging Ayaka.
★
“…Izumi. Izumi. Izumi.”
“Wha…?!”
“Are you okay? Not dizzy?”
When I opened my eyes, Aki was staring at me.
“W-Where is this…?”
“You’re back in the room. You fainted, Izumi…”
“Aah…”
I recalled what had happened earlier based on Aki’s words.
Ayaka’s was a true monster…
“Luckily, they said there’s no big problem with your body. But next time, be careful not to overdo it in the hot spring, the innkeeper said.”
I nodded silently at Aki’s words.
I hadn’t done anything wrong in the first place, but…
“Uh… what about the others?”
“Hmm? Over there.”
When I turned to where Aki pointed, I saw Suzuha, Yukari, and Ayaka gathered together.
“You’re not a kid anymore, what were you thinking?”
“I told you to keep it reasonable from the start…”
“I’m sorry…”
Ayaka was on her knees, hands up, accepting her punishment while Suzuha and Yukari were lecturing her.
Hmm. I didn’t necessarily want to stop them; this was something Ayaka had brought upon herself, so it might be best for me to stay silent…
Thinking this way, I quietly pulled the blanket over and sat up.
“Tell me right away if it gets dizzy.”
“Yeah…”
I felt a slight ringing in my head, but it was not enough to hinder my movements.
After taking a deep breath and checking the time, it was 6:50.
“Ah… um, Suzuha, the time…”
“…Right, it’s about time to go.”
Suzuha and Yukari seemed to understand what I was trying to say and stopped lecturing, while Ayaka also got off her seat.
Right. Dinner would be ready soon.
Time for kaiseki, one of the specialties of the inn.
“I apologize for intruding.”
With a swish, the sliding door opened as the innkeeper we had seen earlier bowed to us.
After she slightly stepped aside, the staff slowly entered the room.
Moving with such meticulousness to not bump into us, they began to gently lay food on the table.
It felt almost like watching a dance, and I couldn’t help but admire it.
Moreover, everything brought out looked extravagantly expensive.
Is this… the kaiseki meal at an XX-man yen ryokan for a one-night stay?
Especially since Hikari mentioned that she had rented out an entire premium building…
Oh no, I started feeling guilty.
“Wow…”
But as soon as I took a bite of the appetizer, that guilt melted away like snow.
All that remained was gratitude towards Hikari.
“Wow. This sake is incredibly smooth.”
We couldn’t help but exclaim in awe as we savored the food and sake the staff brought.
Of course, I had orange juice.
And whenever we cleared a plate, the next dish naturally arrived, and each one was shockingly delicious.
Even though I was full, I felt like I wanted just one more bite.
In other words, my secret weapon of pork cup noodles was nothing compared to this taste.
“No, you can’t compare that…”
“Y-You’re right?”

[【Chat】 The second generation! We’re at the hot spring together! #SuzuhaKoga#AyakaUtsumi#AkiNekoto#YukariAkabane#IzumiKainoh#StarsFlow]
-Sorahora!

-Jiiyii…
-(＿ ＿*) Z z z
Before I knew it, it was 10 PM.
It was soon time for the broadcast that we’d announced as the “Naitoro.”
Initially, we thought we wouldn’t even turn the broadcast on since it was like going on a vacation together, but after Yukari suggested just giving a quick update since all five of us were there, we all agreed.
“Hello everyone, this is Suzuha~. I’m Suzuha Koga.”
Even though we were all pretty tired, doing the broadcast with our usual energy seemed difficult.
“Today, just as we announced on Naitoro, the second generation has come to the hot springs together.”
“Everyone, this is Ko, K-Konzumi…”
“Kona-ya~.”
“This is Yukari Akabane, AkaKatsu!”
Once we all completed our greetings in order, one question arose in the chatroom.
-Where’s the master?
-What’s Nekoto up to?
“Uh, um… She’s sleeping…”
That’s right. Aki was already napping in a corner.
“She’ll probably wake up in about 30 minutes, so please wait a little, servants….”
-Just let her sleep
-She must be tired from coming to the ryokan
-Master looks cute even when she’s sleeping!
Reassured by Suzuha’s words, the servants comforted us.
With their comments boosting my confidence, I quietly opened my mouth.
“U-Um, I wanna sleep too… is that okay?”
If you’re an Izutomo, you’d know, but I tend to go to bed early.
Well, normally that’s after 11 PM, but today I was quite exhausted from coming to the ryokan, and I felt sleepy even now.
Honestly, as I lay down, I was confident I’d fall asleep right away.
I was sure the Izutomo would understand my situation…
-Huh?
-Cut the weird talk!
But that wasn’t the case.
These abusive little…
