It's so warm......

As if the warmth that could melt people, it came from all directions, enveloping her, caressing her body, absorbing her tiredness.

The starfish unconsciously became more relaxed, and its body slowly slid down.

"Wow! cough cough cough cough ......"

The moment she sank into the water, she suddenly came to her senses, fluttered and sat up straight again, coughing incessantly from choking.

Overrelaxed......

After coughing for a while, relieved a little, the starfish fell to the edge of the tub again, one hand hanging outside.

The overflowing water flowed out along the smooth and delicate arm.

"It's so comfortable......"

I don't want to go out at all.

It's the first time I've felt so comfortable in a bath...... I want to melt in the bathtub.

Starfish closed her eyes and relaxed again.

"If only I could stay here forever......"

Unconsciously speaking the thought in her heart, she opened her eyes again.

Luckily, she was the only one in the bathroom.

There was no movement outside.

"Joke......" she said into the air, sighing softly.

Even if the owner of the apartment was her former stepmother, it was not her home.

She was just invited to come over and stay for a few days.

“……”

Shaking off the annoying and pointless thought, Starfish turned in the tub and leaned against the edge.

His bathtub was so big that she could sit on her side and straighten her legs without being restricted.

She came to the bath to relax......

Hey, that doesn't seem right.

She seems to have been brought in by Naoko to take a bath?

Forget it, no matter......

Starfish shook his head, cleared his thoughts, continued to enjoy the hot water soaking, and filled the blank space in his mind with the fond memories of his wanderings during the day.

“……”

And thinking back to his slightly tough actions in the Kannon Hall of Hase-ji Temple, and the words that accompanied the warm breath in her ears, she unconsciously clamped her legs and writhed lightly under the water.

"Hmm...... Hate ......"

The delusion was ended in a trembling daze, and after a few more soaks, the starfish came out of the bathtub.

wiped the foggy mirror, and the blonde girl reflected in the mirror, her cheeks were still a little red on both sides.

"Soak it for too long......"

Without glasses, she leaned in and stared at herself for a moment, then dried herself, changed into her pajamas, and took a towel to wipe her hair.

"I don't know if the takeaway has been delivered...... Slightly hungry. ”

Coming out of the bathroom, there was still no movement in the living room.

"Pizza is ......"

And as soon as she walked back to the living room, she vaguely saw Naruse suddenly sit up straight and cover something on her legs.

Naoko was lying on the couch and moved her body forward a lot.

Both of them looked a little scrambling.

“……”

Starfish narrowed their eyes and stared at them for a moment.

The white flower on his leg just now seemed to be Naoko's thigh......

"What are you doing?"

With her feet removed from Naruse's legs, Naoko sat up, pulled down her skirt, bent down again, picked up the pantyhose she had just taken off, and put them next to her.

"My legs are a little sore, and Chunhai is giving me a massage."

"Ahem......"

Naruse hunched slightly and looked at the balcony, "That's it." ”

After staring at the two of them for a while, the starfish didn't say anything, and sat down between them, wiping her hair.

All three were silent for a while.

“…… Hasn't the pizza been delivered yet? ”

"Fifty minutes, that's at least an hour."

"Oh."

Starfish continued to wipe her hair.

Naoko sat back on the couch, clutching the stockings in her hands, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Isn't Naoko going to take a bath?"

"Ah......h

She came back to her senses, "Well, I'm going to wash now." ”

Looking at Naruse again, Naoko got up and went to take a shower.

Naruse sat for a moment, then stood up as well, leaving the phone for the starfish.

"Takeout will come later, remember to answer the phone."

"Huh?"

"I'm a little tired, go back to my room and lie down for a while."

"Oh......"

The starfish wiped his hair and watched him return to his room, pouting again.

Can't you just be alone with her a little longer?

Also, was that a serious massage just now......

"Starfish—"

Suddenly, Naoko's voice came from the bathroom, "Did you put the hot water down?" ”

"Ah......h

The starfish blushed and raised her voice to reply, "Hmm...... I forgot to wash my body and went in to soak it, and when I was done, I put it away. ”

"Oh." Naoko didn't ask too much, and put the hot water back on.

About twenty minutes later, the mobile phone on the table suddenly rang.

"Telephone...... Takeaway! ”

Haixing completely forgot what Naruse had just said, picked up his phone and was about to deliver it to his room, only to find that the door was actually locked.

"Huh...... Locked up? ”

She was a little incredulous.

Naruse soon came over and opened the door.

"Takeout arrived? You just need to take it. ”

He took the phone, connected the phone, said a few words to the delivery man, and hung up.

"Sushi and dessert arrived. The delivery man said that he couldn't come up, so he had to go down and get it himself...... What's wrong? ”

He spotted the starfish glaring at him.

"Why lock the door?"

“……”

Naruse was silent for a moment, then turned his head and walked out, "I'm afraid that you will suddenly come in and affect my sleep." ”

"Who's going to go in suddenly?"

"That's hard to say."

Naruse changed into shoes and found that she had also followed, "You're going down too?" ”

"Can't you?"

"Just in your pajamas?"

“…… It's not that you're not undressed. ”

Naruse looked at her again, "Whatever you want." ”

The two took the elevator down together, and when they got downstairs, Starfish still didn't go out with him, just waiting by the elevator.

Naruse went out to get sushi, and just returned to the elevator when his phone rang again.

"Well, it's me. Is it coming? I know. I'm downstairs. ”

Hanging up, he stuffed the sushi to her, "The pizza is here too." ”

He went back outside and continued to wait.

After waiting for a while, Starfish saw a figure hurriedly walking in from outside the apartment, handing the takeaway in his hand to Naruse, and leaving in a hurry.

He came in quickly.

"It's a foreigner......

"Huh?"

"I don't speak Japanese very fluently." Naruse took the sushi she had just delivered from her, "I think it's a part-time international student." ”

"Oh." Starfish didn't care at all.

Walking into the elevator and going back upstairs, Naruse cleaned up the table in the living room, opened all the takeaways, and put them on the table.

Starfish reached out for a piece of sushi, but he snapped it open.

"Naoko hasn't come out yet."

“…… I'm already hungry! ”

Naruse looked at her, "Really hungry?" ”

“……”

I'm not hungry, I just want to taste it.

"Really."

He looked at her again, but didn't say anything.

The starfish took this as a tacit approval, stared at him with both eyes, and slowly reached out again, picked up a piece of sushi, and put it in his mouth.

"Hmm-"

"How's it taste?"

"It's delicious!"

Naruse smiled briefly.

"If you're really hungry, eat first, Naoko should be almost out soon."

"Uh-huh."

Starfish licked her lips and her gaze fell on the bacon pizza on the side.

"Is that okay?"

"Nope."

“……”

She still took a small piece of it, and he just watched, and didn't stop it.

It's awkward...... The two thought to themselves.

After a short while, Naoko came out of the bath.

"Has it been delivered?"

"Well, let's eat."

"Okay."

She walked over and Naruse got up to pour her drink.

As they passed by, both of them, intentionally or unintentionally, paused.

"Juice?"

"Good ......"

After pouring three glasses of juice for herself and the two girls, and returning to the living room, Naoko was already eating a piece of pizza.

"It's delicious."

"Eat slowly." Naruse picked up a piece of salmon sushi and put it in his mouth, "It's still early." ”

Closed today, so take a day off tomorrow.
