Chapter Eighty-Nine: Childhood Friends Meeting “Face to Face”
“Sigh, how did it become like this…”
Kanzaki finally managed to escape the onslaught from Nagi and Miki.
Whether he was seen as the culprit ruining the school’s decorum by the student council president or if he rejected the innocent and natural Nagi, both options felt like hell to him.
So, taking advantage of the moment when Miki and Nagi were taken by surprise, he dashed into the men’s bath.
Although it might make Nagi angry later, he felt there was no other choice.
— Let’s just think about what happens after that later~
Already starting to escape from reality, Kanzaki walked into the spacious hot spring.
One could say it’s truly worthy of being the largest and most luxurious hotel on the island.
The spacious outdoor hot spring left Kanzaki unable to stifle a gasp of amazement.
Moreover, since the time for the genders to alternate for bathing was approaching, he found himself completely alone in the outdoor hot spring, as if he had the place all to himself.
“It almost feels like a scene from a small doujinshi… No, no!” Kanzaki shook his head vigorously to dispel the suddenly surfacing impure thoughts.
But the more he tried to suppress them, the more his brain conjured up images of “himself and Nagi meeting honestly in this spacious outdoor hot spring.”
“This is the men’s bath! What if Nagi really comes in here and gets seen by other guys?!” Kanzaki reproached his own impure thoughts.
“Did you call for me, Kanzaki-kun?” Nagi’s cute face suddenly peeked through the door crack.
“Y-You, Nagi!? Why are you here!?” Kanzaki exclaimed in shock, quickly stepping back and using the towel he held to cover his legs.
“Because I promised to help Kanzaki-kun wash your back, didn’t I?” Nagi said, stepping through the door.
As she walked out from behind the door, Kanzaki’s eyes were fixated on Nagi, who was wrapped in only a long towel at her chest.
At this moment, Nagi had her long black hair tied up high, exposing her fair, elegant neck, while her ample chest held the towel high.
Due to the limited length of the towel, Nagi had to wrap it around her body starting from her chest, leaving her rounded and perky upper halves exposed.
One could say this was the kind of tantalizing outfit only found in certain special artistic works.
Even Kanzaki, upon seeing this super beautiful girl who combined sexiness and cuteness, couldn’t help but widen his eyes.
“T-This is the men’s bath—!?”
“?” Nagi turned her head to the side in confusion, where a sign reading “Mixed Bath” was placed beside the entrance.
That was presumably a sign used during the hotel’s regular operations.
However, since Hoshikage High School had booked the entire hotel today, this should have been designated as the men’s bath—
But seeing Nagi’s baffled expression, it was clear she didn’t know about that.
“What if other guys come in!?” Kanzaki said in a fluster, anxiously glancing toward the changing room, fearing another silhouette might appear from behind the door.
And in that direction, Nagi’s current figure was clearly reflected in his eyes.
Although his rationality told him this wasn’t the time to gaze at Nagi, trying to imagine his childhood friend, whom he had secretly loved since he was young, in a state where she only had a towel wrapped around her made it impossible to easily divert his gaze.
On the other side.
Seeing Kanzaki, who was both anxious and unable to contain his excitement, Nagi was secretly amused.
“Isn’t mixed bathing allowed here?” Nagi feigned an innocent expression, completely stirring up Kanzaki’s unease.
Nagi had actually investigated this beforehand.
Because the time for the girls’ bathing was approaching, teachers were stationed around the bath area to prevent boys from getting too close.
After all, for energetic boys in their puberty, influenced by the atmosphere of the school trip, witnessing girls’ bathing scenes was indeed quite tempting.
So the teachers were on high alert.
By choosing this time to enter the men’s bath, Nagi could fully stir Kanzaki’s unease.
Thoughts like “I don’t want other guys to see the skin of my beautiful childhood friend” could evoke his possessiveness, leading him to focus entirely on her during their interaction.
It was the perfect moment.
Of course, the cost was… a bit of… shyness. Nagi’s cute face slightly flushed a tempting peach color, and the plump curves of her thighs rubbed against each other as she grasped the towel at her chest with one hand and pulled down the towel that barely covered her thighs with the other.
Although in his previous two lives as a male he had seen countless male bodies, for some reason, being next to Kanzaki made him feel an inexplicable heat and unease inside.
Moreover, he was exceptionally sensitive to Kanzaki’s gazes, able to pinpoint exactly which parts of his body Kanzaki was focusing on and how long he stared.
— Kanzaki-kun really likes breasts, huh…
Nagi could sense Kanzaki’s occasionally fleeting gaze landing on her chest.
This made her feel somewhat reassured.
After all, in the original work of “Hoshihiku 2,” the character illustration of Hoshimiya Nagi always gave off the impression of being tall with an alluring hourglass figure and ample bosom.
Now her body, developing rather maturely, was beginning to show signs.
Yet in the original work of “Hoshihiku 2,” the male protagonist, Tsukimi Kanzaki, clearly leaned towards cute, petite loli types or younger girls.
Thus, throughout their acquaintance from childhood to now, Nagi had been subtly shifting his preferences and inclinations.
And the result was quite successful; Kanzaki had indeed developed an interest in beautiful girls like herself, who appeared pure but had a voluptuous figure.
Was this ultimately her design for Kanzaki? Or was it simply the result of their natural interactions?
Nagi felt she couldn’t tell anymore.
But that didn’t matter, as long as Kanzaki liked her—
“I really can’t help it with you…” Ankama couldn’t resist Nagi’s insistence and had to accept her coming in.
After all, if he chased her out now, what if he ran into a boy just entering the changing room? Wouldn’t Nagi’s body be exposed to him?
Imagining that scene made his heart feel like it was being stabbed, so he finally agreed to Nagi’s wish for a mixed bath.
Besides, it would soon be the girls’ bathing time.
He just needed to quickly wash his body and get outside.
As long as he ensured no other boys entered the bath before the girls started bathing, that would be fine.
Thinking this, Kanzaki hurriedly positioned himself behind Nagi to protect her.
He escorted her to the line of showers by the wall.
At this point, Kanzaki, focused on speed, had completely forgotten about Nagi’s earlier declaration to “wash his back.”
…
After being escorted by Kanzaki to the small stool by the wall, Nagi stealthily confirmed Kanzaki’s position with the corner of her eye.
She forcibly suppressed the growing embarrassment in her heart and purposely bent over, accentuating her behind as she prepared to sit down.
This showcased her round and perky backside in a visually striking manner to Kanzaki.
And then, she went ahead and untied the towel that wrapped around her—
“Pfft—! N-Nagi, wait, wait!?”
Whether it was the white skin revealed as Nagi unwrapped her towel or that enticing round behind practically inviting a strong grab, it left Kanzaki parched and certain parts of his body reacting from sheer excitement.
Although he was already aware of Nagi having a more mature and attractive figure than her peers, it was only when Nagi’s voluptuous thighs and perfectly peach-shaped behind were presented at close distance that he truly experienced the power capable of obliterating a boy’s rationality in an instant.
Especially—
“Hm? What’s wrong?” Nagi turned her head with a seemingly innocent expression, completely oblivious to her childhood friend about to explode from excitement at the sight before him.
The combination of her alluring body with this uninhibited, innocent demeanor created a sense of forbidden fruit.
After sensing the charm stemming from this contrast, Kanzaki believed that if he weren’t facing such a pure yet alluring beauty in the future, he would no longer feel that way.
“W-Why are you unwrapping the towel!?” Kanzaki felt his words came out awkwardly.
“Because the towel will get wet while bathing, right?” Nagi feigned bewilderment at Kanzaki’s question, slightly turning to the side.
Her skin, like freshly boiled eggs, was completely flawless, reflecting a captivating sheen in the light. Meanwhile, her beautifully contoured waist and hips exuded a fatal allure.
Faced with this scene, even Kanzaki felt he was close to losing control.
If he were to wash Nagi’s hair, then her eyes would close and… in simple terms, she would become completely defenseless…
In that state, no matter what he did to Nagi, she wouldn’t see it…
Kanzaki felt his mind become a chaotic mess.
“Um, um… Kanzaki-kun, why do you have a wooden spoon pressed against my neck? It’s a bit hot….”
Until Nagi’s soft, sweet voice pulled Kanzaki’s chaotic consciousness back to reality—
“Pfft—! S-Sorry!” The scene before him made Kanzaki’s heart skip a beat, and he hurriedly pulled away from Nagi.
In his panic, Kanzaki failed to notice Nagi’s current state—
She simply bowed her head, not turning towards him with her usual innocent demeanor.
If one looked closely, they could see her ears turning bright red from behind.
Even her snow-white, delicate body trembled slightly from embarrassment.
— Kanzaki-kun, you little H…
