735: Chapter 731: Matters Between Husband and Wife (Seeking Subscriptions, Seeking Monthly Tickets)
As a luxury hot spring hotel, it naturally didn’t only provide simple services such as accommodations and soaking in hot springs; various entertainment facilities were also essential.
After enjoying a very lavish dinner, Misumi Mikoto and her group of six didn’t immediately return to their rooms to sleep.
Instead, they went to the hotel’s karaoke and all started singing together.
Among the six of them, it was primarily the girls who sang.
Misumi Mikoto and Tokairin Yūko were of course amateur level, yet Qingdai inadvertently revealed quite a professional singing talent.
“I joined the light music club at school when I was in junior high, and I was the lead singer at that time,” Qingdai explained with a smile, seeing the surprised looks on everyone’s faces.
Back then, she still had the aspect of an ordinary girl.
Although she was a properly behaved young lady under her family’s influence, she harbored a rebellious streak and a longing for freedom in her nature.
However, as the man she called grandfather exerted more control over her, coupled with the influence of another soul inside her, Qingdai’s nature gradually got eroded, turning her into a delicately controlled puppet.
It wasn’t until Yu Chen and Hiromi Jounouchi killed the man she called grandfather and separated the other soul from her body that Qingdai finally started to rediscover herself and gradually began to recover her own nature.
But having been influenced for so many years, many habits had already become deeply ingrained.
Even though she had reclaimed her former self and nature, many things were no longer changeable.
Fortunately, now that the two issues that bound her had been resolved, she had plenty of time to slowly change herself.
With someone of professional caliber present, the others naturally felt a bit hesitant to sing.
After belting out a few more casual songs and noting that it was getting late, the group of six then went back to their rooms.
Qingdai and Kube Rokuro naturally returned to their room.
Although there were some things they hadn’t done together, there was no awkwardness or issues of unpreparedness between them.
As for Misumi Mikoto and Misumi Akihiko, even though they were not biological siblings, they had slept in the same room as children.
Moreover, the hotel room had a Japanese layout that could easily be divided into two separate spaces, so there was no inconvenience.
The truly awkward pair were Tokairin Yuko and Inomata Naoki.
Though they had established their relationship, they had always conducted themselves with propriety and decorum, extending only to holding hands.
Even kissing, which is a more intimate act, had not occurred between them.
Suddenly spending the night together in the same room, and potentially engaging in unmentionable relations, undoubtedly made them both nervous and even caused their hearts to beat too fast.
However, Tokairin Yuko had mentally prepared herself before coming, so despite being nervous, she didn’t show any sign of refusal.
When they returned to their room, they unexpectedly discovered that the staff had already made the bed for them.
“My apologies, you two are a couple, right?
Please enjoy a lovely evening.” With that, the attendant bowed to them and left the room.
Seeing this scene, Tokairin Yuko wanted to explain, but the attendant had already left the room.
This misconstruction by the attendant, instead made the two, who were already feeling tense, start to feel awkward.
After all, without the attendant’s misunderstanding, even if they did end up sharing a bed, it would have just been going with the flow, a natural progression of events.
But now, after having been called out like that, neither of them had the nerve to make a move.
“I didn’t expect to be mistaken for a married couple…” Tokairin Yuko looked at Inomata Naoki, unsure whether she should take the initiative.
However, Inomata Naoki was quite generous, or perhaps he didn’t want to appear too eager in front of his girlfriend.
He took the initiative to walk over to the bedding that had already been laid out, wanting to take it outside: “I’ll sleep outside, Tokairin, you sleep on the inside.
I’ve checked the door before; it can be locked from the inside, so you can feel more at ease at night.”
Hearing Inomata Naoki say this, Tokairin Yuko felt relieved but also slightly disappointed, and she couldn’t help but resent Inomata Naoki’s lack of romantic sensitivity.
If Inomata Naoki had taken the initiative at this moment, she certainly wouldn’t have refused, and obviously, it’s not something a girl can initiate.
Although being gentlemanly at such a time proves that the man is reliable, Tokairin Yuko still wished he would be more proactive.
But it was clear that Inomata Naoki had no intention of taking that step forward.
Watching him already picking up the bedding to leave the room, Tokairin Yuko couldn’t help but grab hold of him.
“Hmm?
What’s wrong?
Is there something else?” Inomata Naoki tensed up when Tokairin Yuko grabbed him, his breathing imperceptibly quickening.
At such a moment, being grabbed by a girl implied something that didn’t need to be spelled out.
Just now, Inomata Naoki only thought that he shouldn’t be too eager, which was why he decided to sleep outside with the bedding, but now that Tokairin Yuko had grabbed hold of him, he felt his willpower couldn’t resist this temptation.
Although Tokairin Yuko had grabbed hold of Inomata Naoki, she was again unsure what to say.
After a pause and a deep breath, she mustered the courage to speak, “Do you want to do something that only real couples do with me?”
After speaking, Tokairin Yuko felt her face burning as if it were on fire, and although she couldn’t see her own complexion, she knew she must be as red as a boiled lobster.
Faced with such a remark, coming from his own girlfriend, Inomata Naoki felt his willpower crumble to nothing.
What else was there to say at that moment?
Tossing aside the bedding he was holding, Inomata Naoki had already embraced Tokairin Yuko, and the two of them fell together onto the bedding on the floor.
————————————————————
Realizing what was happening between Tokairin Yuko and Inomata Naoki in the next room, Misumi Mikoto quickly withdrew her senses, picked up the glass of water from the table, and gulped down a large mouthful to cool herself off.
She didn’t have a boyfriend to come with her, and if the commotion from next door stirred up her own fire, although there were men in her room, that was her brother, and he certainly couldn’t withstand the power of a Transcendent.
Once she calmed down, Misumi Mikoto settled down, pleased that she could complete the task assigned by her teacher so smoothly.
In fact, this trip to the hot springs hotel was all arranged in advance by Yu Chen.
From their rooms and the hot spring baths they used, to the dinner with specially effective ingredients, and even the attendant who laid the bedding in Tokairin Yuko’s room, everything was prearranged, all for the purpose of advancing the relationship between Tokairin Yuko and Inomata Naoki.
Although the plan was very successful, Misumi Mikoto still felt somewhat guilty because she still had to help Yu Chen take the relationship between Inomata Naoki and Minami a step further.
