181. Hot Springs Crisis
Makoto Kyushu returned to the dormitory room and saw the boys carrying toiletries and preparing to go out.
"Are you going to take a shower?" Makoto Kyushu looked at his watch and found that the time was just after half past eight in the evening.
However, tomorrow is the preliminary round of the Jade Dragon Banner, and they should rest early.
"There is an open-air hot spring in this inn, but it is for men and women." A male classmate explained:
"It's time for women after nine o'clock, and we'll have to get over early."
"Then I'll go with me." Makoto Kyushu took out his own toiletries:
"You guys have to rest early today, and I'll bother you too late if I wash up."
Everyone looked at each other, and then nodded their heads, agreeing to accept Kyushu Cheng to go together.
Although they didn't treat this "problem student" very well, what he said was reasonable, and it was indeed better for everyone to take a shower together.
The open-air hot spring, surrounded by bamboo walls, billows white smoke. Since it is less than half an hour before the male and female rotation, there are almost no guests in the hot springs.
"Hmph~ I said that I would take advantage of the time when men and women were about to rotate to take a dip in the hot springs." A senior snorted proudly, looking quite experienced:
"The hot spring is the emptiest at this time, and the whole hot spring is ours!"
"Senior Optics Valley is so smart!" A second-grader exclaimed, and then worried:
"But what if we accidentally miss the rotation?"
"yes, it's bad if a girl comes in and sees us, and she'll definitely be taken as a voyeur!" Other students have similar concerns.
"Don't worry~" The senior said confidently: "I have already asked the innkeeper, and when there are still three minutes before the rotation time, the hot spring administrator will come in and remind us." ”
Makoto Kyushu's gaze fell on the clock on the wall. He doesn't fully trust the hot spring caremaker, and it's safest to see the time himself.
Everyone stepped into the spring water at just the right temperature, enjoying the warmth that spread throughout their bodies, as if every wound on their bodies was slowly healing.
The boys in the kendo club also began to chat enthusiastically.
"By the way, Sada-san, when I took off my clothes just now, were you peeking?"
"Is there any need to peek?"
"Junior brother, you have all strong muscles, have you been working out lately?"
"Be obedient, let the seniors see if you are exercising properly!"
Makoto Kyushu frowned slightly, and moved slightly away from them.
Everyone chatted for a while, and the topic finally became a little more normal.
"Speaking of which, I've been practicing swords for three years in high school, and I've never been in love, and I've never even held a girl's hand." A senior complained.
"No way, our kendo club is not as popular as other baseball clubs." Another senior pushed his glasses and said helplessly:
"Unless you get a big prize on the Jade Dragon Banner, you won't have the right to choose a mate for three years in high school."
"Eh~ I thought that after joining the kendo club, I would be confessed by many girls..."A junior student sighed.
"Speaking of which, this is a rare opportunity, do you want to do something bold?" A boy with a lewd smile suddenly proposed.
"Something bold?" Others were surprised.
The boy whispered to the others, and many of them quickly turned red, and one of the seniors immediately raised his eyebrows:
"Voyeurism? Are you kidding! If you are discovered, your right to choose a mate for three years in high school will be gone! ”
"It's not a matter of the right to choose a mate, it's the right to social survival," the other boy pushed his glasses and whispered.
"But this is a rare opportunity, everyone!" The boy with a lewd smile persevered:
"As members of the kendo club, unless we show excellent grades, I'm afraid that no girl will be willing to talk to us in the three years of high school! Are we going to be losers for three years? Why don't we take this opportunity and just find a place to hide while the men and women are rotating and wait for the girls to come in..."
"But what if something happens? We're going to have a game tomorrow," another student worried.
"It's because I have to compete, so I have to do something exciting to cheer up! As long as we can accomplish this feat, even if we have a round trip, this trip will not leave any regrets! ”
"It seems to make some sense." A junior has been a little fooled and lame.
Halfway through what he said, Kyushu Makoto couldn't listen anymore, and walked over and reminded: "Enough, you're here to compete, don't do such shameless things." ”
"What's the matter with you, Makoto Kyushu?" It's okay if someone else comes to teach, but it was Makoto Kyushu who said this, and the male classmate with a lewd smile was suddenly unhappy: "You said that it wasn't from our kendo club, right?" Why are you pointing fingers at us? ”
"But the voyeurism you want to commit is against the law and women's privacy." Kyushu Cheng shook his head and sighed, and warned: "The police and the girls who have violated your privacy will not let you go just because you are a kendo club player participating in the Jade Dragon Banner." ”
"What the hell are you talking about? What the hell did Ushimaru send you for? The male classmate with an obscene smile was naturally dissatisfied with Kyushu Cheng, and even showed some signs of wanting to start an argument.
"Hey, calm down, let's quarrel on different occasions!" The other boys hurriedly went to the family to persuade them, but they glared at Kyushu Cheng with a little displeasure, obviously favoring their own members.
Although his own members had a little obscene thoughts, no matter how he said it, he was training with everyone day and night, and he was a teammate who was about to fight the Jade Dragon Banner together, so it was not the turn of an outsider like Kyushu Cheng to teach a lesson.
"Forget it, I've said everything I need to say." Kyushu Cheng didn't intend to be bored, so he finally reminded: "I am only responsible for protecting your lives." If you suffer a social death, I can't help you. ”
"Cut, who wants you to protect it!" The male classmate with a lewd smile still refuses to give up.
Makoto Kyushu didn't bother to continue arguing. If these little cubs don't listen to the persuasion and really want to do such stupid behavior, and even affect tomorrow's game, then Kyushu Makoto has no obligation to protect them.
The dispute was finally settled, and everyone continued to chat casually, waiting for the hot spring caretaker to come and tell them to leave.
But they soaked in the hot spring for an unknown amount of time, but what they were waiting for was not the hot spring caretaker, but the voice of a group of female customers walking out of the ladies passage on the wooden floor corridor and talking:
"It's finally our girls' turn! Then you're welcome! ”
"Mizuhashi-san, it's the first time you've soaked in this kind of open-air public hot spring!"
"I didn't expect you to come from Tokyo too, did it turn out to be Qiongye High School next door to us?"
"I'm going to have a game tomorrow, so let's relax all my tiredness with the hot springs today!"
“.”
"What's going on? The administrator hasn't even warned us why they're in! ”
A kendo boy looked panicked and complained aggrievedly.
It seems that the caretaker was clearly negligent in his duty and let the ladies in without coming to check on the hot spring three minutes in advance.
But although it is someone else's problem, it does not mean that this group of boys can be left alone.
The first batch of ladies to soak in the bath are getting closer and closer to the hot springs, and if they find out about the presence of these boys, they will most likely be regarded as voyeurs or harassers, and they will not be able to wash themselves by jumping into Tokyo Bay.
They will not calm down to listen to the explanation, nor will they care about the "dereliction of duty of the spa keeper", and when the time comes, they will definitely shout "catch the harassers", pick up the bucket and towel at hand and throw it at them, preferably so that the whole street can hear the movement.
In the country of Wano, once you are accused of "harassment" by a woman, you will almost be able to turn over completely, and you will be ruined for the rest of your life, and you will be pointed at when you go out to buy vegetables.
What's more, there seem to be students from the kendo club of Xiu Ember Academy among the first batch of female guests, if they meet here, won't they be so embarrassed to pick their toes when they get along in the future?
The boys from the Hideash Kendo Club watched in great panic as a figure appeared from the ladies passage, and then looked around, hiding behind a large rock, barely hiding in the blind spot of the female customers.
However, this was only a delaying tactic, and the ladies had already begun to take off their bath towels and enter the hot springs, walking towards the big rocks with the sound of "bang-la-la" water.
As the light sound of water got closer and closer, everyone's hearts were almost beating to their throats.
Even the lewd man who had just proposed to peep was panicked. Although he did say that he would hide in the hidden corner of the hot spring during the period of male and female rotation, it was mostly a high-mouthed braggadocio element, which did not mean that he was willing to be wrongly accused of being a "harasser" even if he did nothing.
"Strange." Leaning against the back of the wall of the big rock, Makoto Kyushu felt an unnatural place:
"If you look at the clock on the wall, it's 8:58 p.m., so it's not yet time for the men and women to rotate. Could it be that the clock time is a little slower? ”
"Hehe, who cares about this." A senior muttered weakly:
"You go out and explain to them, see if they want to believe you, you're done!"
The hot spring caretaker forgot to come over to give advance notice, and the clock hanging in the open-air hot spring was three minutes slower. All this is too coincidental, or rather, they are too unlucky.
"At this point, we have to find a way to escape without being discovered by them!" Another senior had a serious face, and directly used the pool in front of him as a command platform to hold a combat meeting.
If you go to the men's entrance from where they are now, they will be 100% seen by the women bathing.
After a short discussion, they realized that the only way now was to escape to the nearest back door, slip out wearing a bath towel as a fig leaf, walk about a hundred meters back to the main entrance of the hotel, and swagger back to the men's locker room as if nothing happened.
Although you may be mistaken for a "weirdo walking around the street in a bath towel", it is still much better than a "harasser".
Taking advantage of the fact that the female guests who came to soak in the hot spring had not yet reached the other side of the big rock, a senior decisively took the lead in the charge, tiptoeing through the water towards the back door.
The other kendo club members also understood and tiptoed to follow the senior to the back door of the hot spring.
"Hold on, everybody! Don't be discovered! The senior who took the lead hinted to everyone with his eyes and mouth: "This is our ultimate battle, and our future is in our own hands!" ”
The other boys nodded excitedly, and almost shouted in unison, "Oh! ”
Seeing these people act without authorization, Kyushu Cheng wanted to say something to them, but he shook his head helplessly, too lazy to pay attention to these little ghosts.
However, just as the boys' team was halfway through the procession, one of the junior boys suddenly said, "Ah! The ground cried out.
The senior behind him immediately covered his mouth and said anxiously: "Don't shout, are you trying to betray us?" ”
"But. . . I." The junior boy pointed aggrievedly at his lower body.
Only then did everyone realize that the bath towel around his lower body had disappeared, probably because it happened to be washed away by the water during the journey. And now he is in a state of nakedness, looking very spicy. Even if you manage to escape through the back door to the street, you will immediately be arrested as an exhibitionist, and you will be dead end.
But even so, the other boys still have hope of survival, and his random shouting completely shatters all this.
As expected, the cry just now seemed to be heard by several female guests, and it quickly attracted their attention.
"Who's there?!" A girl from the kendo club followed the prestige, and saw a bath towel floating on the water, so she stared at the rock solemnly and shouted:
"Is it a boy? Come out for me! ”
The girl's shouting was so loud that all the boys were too frightened to move.
The other ladies were also attracted to the attention and looked towards the big rock.
"Damn. It's over, it's over," the boys in the kendo club were sweating like rain, and their eyes were already covered with ashes of despair.
Jade Dragon Flag, the right to choose a mate in the three years of high school, my reputation, all my good qualities, and everything I worked for for. It's all going to be over at this point!
"Don't hide, you nasty rats! Come out for me! In addition to the girls of Xiu Ember Academy, there seem to be several Jade Dragon Banner contestants among these female guests, all of whom are heroines among women, and their tempers are even more straightforward and pungent than the other, and they all shouted angrily:
"It's clear that you haven't left after the rotation time, are you guys peeping?!"
So saying, they walked behind the rocks, trying to apprehend the thieves.
Just when the boys were in a desperate situation, Kyushu Cheng Tairuo naturally sighed and beckoned in a low voice: "Come over to me, I have a way." ”
Everyone instantly looked at Kyushu Cheng and gathered over as if they saw a life-saving straw.
Although they don't deal with Kyushu Makoto, the current situation no longer allows them to put up a stalk and talk about grievances.
They even swore in their hearts that if Kyushu Cheng could take them through this difficulty, let alone treat him well, Kyushu Cheng would be their eldest brother in the future, and hesitating for half a second would be unfilial to his father-in-law!
Kyushu Cheng also knew that the situation was urgent, so he stopped selling Guanzi.
He first wrapped his bath towel around the waist of the junior student who had lost it, and then whispered a few words to everyone.
Half a minute later, just as several female guests were about to make a detour behind the big rock to find out, they suddenly heard several heart-rending shouts:
"Kyushu-san! Please, don't die! ”
"You have to hold on! We'll take you to the hospital right away! ”
"Help! Does anyone know how to heal, come and save him! ”
The ladies hurried to find a group of boys crying wolf around an unconscious black-haired teenager. And the unconscious teenager kept spitting and foaming, and his limbs were still spasming and twitching, as if he was about to completely melt into the water in the next second.
Seeing this situation, the girls who had planned to ask the teacher for the crime suddenly dispersed this thought. After all, human life is at stake, and the first task now is to get this wounded person out, and it's not too late to talk about it after "harassing" or something.
What's more, if you think about it from another perspective, these boys didn't have time to leave the hot spring before the rotation of men and women, probably because their companions suddenly fainted. In order to take care of him, these people would rather risk being treated as "harassers" than insist on being by his side.
What a strong and sincere friendship it is. Even the girls were moved to tears.
"Anyway, let's get him out first! He's going to get dizzy if he keeps him here! A tall girl who was probably also a contestant of the Jade Dragon Banner draped the extra bath towel on Kyushu Cheng's body, and decisively hooked his shoulders:
"Don't be stupid, you men, carry him out together!"
"Oooh!"
The boys nodded one after another, hurriedly carried Kyushu Cheng into the men's locker room, and thanked the female guests who were enthusiastic about helping, and hurriedly closed the door to say goodbye.
