Because my stomach was a little supportive, it was really uncomfortable to lie on my stomach, and the starfish enjoyed a little massage, but I couldn't stand it.

"You don't have to press me...... No, no, it's not a matter of strength. ”

She glanced at the Takigawa sisters, who were still crying out in pain, and then looked at the grandmother who was massaging her, explaining to her that she was just eating too hard and her stomach was uncomfortable.

The latter didn't say anything, smiled kindly at her, and stepped aside.

Starfish sat up and rubbed his stomach, trying to facilitate stomach digestion.

After the massage, the companions also planned to experience the bedrock bath of the hotel, and they had to lie on their stomachs as well.

"Go ahead." Starfish said to them, "I'll go out for a walk, too." ”

Several people heard her explanation just now, and Naoko raised her head: "Chunhai and Yiye shouldn't have gone far, Starfish should go find them." ”

"Uh-huh, okay." That's what she intended.

Walking out of the hotel, the starfish shivered a little from the cold wind blowing in front of me.

"It's cold!" She wrapped up her cotton clothes tightly and stood in the doorway, looking left and right.

Although this hot spring street is not very long, it is not so easy to find people, and at this time, there are more figures walking after dinner on the road, and it is impossible to distinguish at a glance.

The starfish went to the Noto house for a turn, and instead of seeing Naruse and Morimi, there were a few tourists in yukata taking pictures.

"It's not enough to have lights, if only it were snowing."

"It should snow in the evening, so let's come down later."

Starfish looked at it, and while there was no one on the red wooden bridge in front of the hotel, he also went over to take a photo.

"Hmm......"

Looking at the photo she took, she couldn't help but compare it with the one taken by Naruse before, only to feel that the gap was far away.

Although when they went to Kyoto together, she had already learned from Hikaru Takikawa that he was good at taking pictures, but when this skill fell on her, she couldn't help but be moved.

How could he take such a good picture of her!

Although she is indeed cute and good-looking......

In the photo, she seems to be glowing all over her body, like an angel falling from the sky.

He filmed her as an angel......

“……”

After staring at the photo for a while, the starfish suddenly felt a little complaining.

The level of taking pictures is better than that of girls who like to take selfies, how many photos does he usually take for Naoko?

Obviously, they have all lived together, and now that everyone is out on a trip, they still keep staring at Naoko, and even peek at her breasts......

How much he liked her.

“……”

Starfish bit her lip and tried to stop her thoughts.

Don't think about it, his relationship with Naoko has nothing to do with her.

He and she are now just good friends again.

And the current relationship between each other is actually higher than the so-called "friends".

It can even be said to be somewhat intimate.

She is also satisfied with this......

- Are you really satisfied?

Starfish touched his lips and retracted his hand like an electric shock.

"I'm annoyed ......"

She took a deep breath of the cold air and moved under her feet.

The person he liked was Naoko – a fact that would never change, just like the mathematical theorems he had emphasized many times during his tutoring.

∵ he likes Naoko.

∴ he won't like anyone else.

∴ he won't like her anymore.

Every time she thought about it, she would keep looping this cruel and joking proof formula in her head, forcing herself not to think about it anymore.

"I can't see anyone anywhere, where the hell have you gone?"

She'd forgotten that she was only looking for this one.

Leaving Noto's house, Starfish walked back along the path by the river, soon passing the inn that had just left, and then continued to look for it absentmindedly.

"Ahh

The soles of her feet suddenly slipped, and she grabbed the lamppost of the gaslight on the side of the road, and almost fell to the ground.

The road was slippery, but fortunately, there was no danger, but her attention was focused all at once, and she didn't dare to think about it anymore.

When she was about to reach the exit of Hot Spring Street, she saw two figures sitting at the foot bath by the river.

"Is that them......"

Starfish narrowed, then moved closer, finally seeing their faces clearly.

It's the two of them.

Aren't you taking a walk......

Even if you soak in the soup together, you can sit too close.

She muttered in her heart, and was about to say hello when Morimi suddenly leaned on Naruse's shoulder.

“……”

Starfish opened its mouth, stunned for a moment. She stood as if frozen by the wind and snow, abrupt and conspicuous under the streetlights, and both of them noticed her on the side of the road almost at the same time.

Starfish ......

Morimi subconsciously sat up straight and glanced at Naruse again.

And he looked more headache than she expected.

"Why are you so nervous, it's not that Naoko saw it." She just leaned on his shoulder, less than five seconds.

"Who is more nervous?"

Naruse glanced at her and took another deep breath, "Starfish—"

She looked at them as she was, and it took more than half a minute before she moved over.

"How did you get out?"

Starfish didn't answer, looking at the two, "What are you doing?" ”

"Soak in the soup." Naruse said.

She stared at him, saw that he looked calm, and then looked at Morimi.

"Do you want to soak the starfish together?" Her face didn't change either.

"You just ......"

"Just now?"

She pursed her lips, "It's ......"

Morimi seemed to suddenly understand, and leaned back to Naruse, "Is that so?" ”

“……”

Starfish nodded.

"Just walking a little tired, relax a little." Morimi said.

Starfish looked at Naruse, her eyes flashing.

He shrugged his shoulders and ducked away, "I'm tired too." ”

Morimi just snorted softly and patted the place next to him again, allowing the starfish to sit over.

"Starfish, let me lean in."

The starfish was silent for a moment, then sat down beside her, took off her shoes and socks.

"Be careful, the hot springs here are a little hot."

"Hmm...... Hiss! ”

The temperature of the water in the soup was forty or fifty degrees, and she gasped so hot that her feet were touching away.

After a few attempts, she was able to put it down a little.

"Didn't buy towels." Naruse said suddenly.

"Use mine." Morimi looked at the starfish, "Is that okay?" ”

She nodded.

"Didn't the starfish go to a massage with the light and them, why did they come out alone."

"I'm eating a little bit, and it's uncomfortable to lie on my stomach......"

Morimi smiled, "I see. ”

"I'll test the water temperature over there." Naruse stood up, stepped directly on the snowy floor, and walked to the other foot bath and sat down.

"How?" Morimi asked.

"It's not too hot, it feels just right to soak, but if it's not that hot, it doesn't feel so comfortable......

"Are you shaking M?"

Morimi looked at the starfish again, "If you think it's hot, the starfish will go clubbing over there." ”

"Hmmm......"

Starfish also stepped directly on the floor, carefully avoiding the snow on the ground, and Naruse sat there, reaching out to pick her up.

“……”

Holding his hand, the starfish sat down beside him and dipped his feet in the spring water that was just the right temperature.

"The temperature is okay."

"Hmm."

Turning his head to look at the two of them for a while, Mori saw that he was carrying the shoes and socks of the three of them, and he also came over.

"Actually let me take my shoes."

"It's okay to put it over there."

"Then after soaking, don't you have to step on the cold floor to walk over?"

Lowering her shoes, she sat down next to the starfish and soaked her feet in the hot spring.

"—I always feel a little unlucky."

Looking at the faint dark clouds in the sky, Morimi sighed for no reason.

"Eh......"

She shook her head and smiled at the starfish.

"It's okay, I mean the coffee is over there - the handsome guy over there, can you help me get the coffee and buy a can for the starfish by the way?"
