Slow Start ch165

Ah.
Today, we've come to a hot spring.

Kiyose-san! Kiyose-san! Kiyose-san!!
You can pick out yukatas here!
Come on!! Over here!!
Don't call me Kiyose.
So noisy~

So you're fine with me calling you "Sensei Sensei" over and over?
...

Kiyose is fine.
Okay, Kiyose. This way.
Why you...

A teacher and student at a hot spring...!?

Wah~

There's so many cute colors! Which should I pick?
Doesn't really matter.
Eh~?

You're gonna be taking them off soon enough anyway, so it'll be the same no matter what you wear, right?

What is it?
We're going into the hot spring right after this, aren't we?
Ah!
Ah ah ah ah!
Ah, yeah!! Yeah!!

Right, the hot spring! The hot spring, right! We're here for the hot spring! The hot spring!
What are you so excited about?

Ahaha. Nothing.
Nothing at all~
The heck?
You're weird.

...

Oh yeah, if you're not that fussed about it, Kiyose-san, do you mind if I pick out your yukata?
Eh? I very much do mind.

You're the one who said they're all the same, so what difference does it make if I pick them?
I have a bad feeling about it...

Now, now, now. Just leave it to ol' Tokura here.
So annoying...

Ehehe~ Which should I pick~?
Pick a stupid pattern and I'll go find a stick lying around here and hit you with it.

You're gonna hit me with a stick over a little silliness?
Scary.
It's the quickest thing I can get my hands on.

There are barely any sticks around here anywhere. At least use your bare hand.
Urya~
So you're fine with me hitting you with my bare fist?

If you do that, I'll hit you back with a stick lying around here.
Why would there be a stick lying around in the inn?
Does that mean you brought you own stick for hitting me with, Kiyose-san?

Oh.

Okay, this one!

Well?
What do you think?
All black with no patterns, see?
Hm.
A little plain, don't you think?
I'm not the grim reaper or anything.

Not at all.
It'll go perfect with your complexion, Kiyose-san.
That so?

Then I'll guess I'll go with this one for you?
Eh?

You're picking one out for me, Sensei?
You like festive colors like this, right?
Did you wanna pick your own?
In that case...
No no no no.
I appreciate it. Thank you.

...I'm happy.

Ehehe.
How about it? You think it'll suit me?

Uh, yeah.
It's not bad, I guess.
Praise me<3

Yay♪
After our dip in the springs, we should put these on, got for a walk and play some ping pong★
Ping Pong Pose★
Why do I have to talk a walk and play ping pong right after taking a bath?
You're way too excited.

If we get sweaty, we can just go in the hot spring again~
Boo~

Ignore

Hot spring, walk, hot spring, ping pong, hot spring, dinner, hot spring, sleep, wake up early, hot spring again.
Just do it naked already.
What kind of extreme hot spring is this?

Going to sleep right after the bath is the best choice.
Eeh...?

And right after you picked out such a cute yukata for me too...
Once you get sweaty and get in the bath, you'll have to wear a different yukata anyway, right?

Huh?
Ah, you're right.
We'll have to pick another one then.
Stop that.
You'll bother the inn staff.

Well, exploring the inn and trying some hot spring manjuu might not be too bad.
Oh my<3

Ah.
Looks like there's a place that sells hot spring manjuu parfaits.
How about we check it out?
What!?

Okay, let's take a bath right away and prepare for it.
Ah, I'll join you in the bath.
Sounds like it'll be a really short bath, though.

Eiko.
Hm?

Here.

Facility Guide

I want to go to thise place that has hot spring egg katsudon.
Oh. Got it♪
Let's save the parfaits for later then.
Yep. For dessert.
Hey.
Hey, Tokura.

Geez~
Don't be so impatient, Kiyose. You're an adult, aren't you?
Good grief
Why you...

Hah! A nightmare!!

...
For some reason, it feels like
me not showing up in my own dreams has become a natural thing as of late...?
Tama-chan?
You're awake?

Ah, Hana-chan.
Listen to this. Y'see, I...
There's no time for that!!

We're gonna be late!!!

Ah. Good morning, Hana-chan and Tama-chan.
Good morning.
Morning...
Good morning...

Morning~
You're late, you two~
Morning,
Hana, Tama.

Oh, there you are, Tokura.
What's the matter, Momochi?
Mochimochi.

Are you okay, Hana-chan?
Uuh...
The winter homework wouldn't end...

We cut it so close that we had to skip breakfast...
I'm starving...
Oh my.

Now that I think about it, we don't need to hand in our homework on the day of the opening ceremony, so there was no need to rush...
Eh?

Oh.
That's right.

I managed to fit in a trip during the winter break
and brought you some souvenirs if you want them.
Woohoo~ Alright! I love you, Eiko-chan. Kisses~
She sure changed her tune!

Hot Spring Manjuu

Here you go. Hot spring manjuu.

Here.

Eh?
Eh?
Yum yum<3

Was it a dream or reality...? Surely the teacher didn't go with her too, right!?
