Even with chuunibyou, let's learn together!

Hayakawa gave Ogata a strange look; this sounded like the kind of thing he would say.

"Ri...Ri-chan, I don't know if it's just my imagination, but lately you seem to be looking more and more like Hayakawa-san,"

Fumino Furuhashi's expression gradually turned somewhat frightened, and she cautiously said, "Her speech and behavior have become rather cold..."

Hayakawa remained expressionless, his face stern: "Am I that cold-hearted?"

Rizu Ogata nodded calmly: "Maybe, after all, I often hang out with Hayakawa and have learned a bit from him."

"Eaaah!!"

Fumino Furuhashi clutched her head, looking utterly devastated: "My Ri-chan is going to become someone who hurts people!"

"Hey!"

Hayakawa immediately became dissatisfied: "What do you mean by that? Have I ever mistreated you?"

"There was no mistreatment,"

Fumino Furuhashi wiped away imaginary tears, looked at Hayakawa and sighed softly: "It's just that you're born with the ability to hurt others... It's beyond our control."

Hayakawa: "..."

"Ancient bridge..."

The noise of two people came from the side, mainly Hayakawa's gloomy voice. Ogata Riju did not join in, but walked at the front, looking at the pure white world in her eyes.

Why is she starting to look more and more like Hayakawa?

As Ogata Rizu pondered this, a faint blush gradually crept onto her face.

Perhaps it's because I like Hayakawa.

Her gaze shifted almost imperceptibly, her eyes reflecting Hayakawa beside her, the boy's figure becoming increasingly clear in her eyes.

Yes.

Just like Guan Cheng said...

I like Hayakawa.

……

What is liking?

Perhaps it's just wanting to be with that person for a long time, not wanting to share them with others, and wanting them to pay more attention to you.

But why did I fall in love with him...? Is this feeling the love of a lover, the love of a friend, or the love of family...?

Rizu Ogata didn't understand.

"this is…"

Hayakawa and his two companions walked along the snowy mountain path. Before long, they saw a building that looked like a hotel by the roadside. Curious, they went over and saw that the words "Hot Spring Station" were engraved in black paint on the wooden sign in front of the Japanese-style shop.

"Ah, I know that."

Tong Guqiao Fumino quickly pulled out her travel guidebook from her bag and said seriously, "This is a hot spring station!"

"I can read."

Hayakawa retorted, "Get to the point."

"Hey, don't talk,"

Furuhashi rolled her eyes at Hayakawa, then looked at the picture book and read: "If you pass by a hot spring station on the snow mountain trail, you can spend more than a thousand yen to soak in a snow mountain hot spring. Soaking in the hot spring while looking at the snow mountain is a very happy thing to relax your muscles and muscles."

"We seem to be in good luck."

Guqiao put away his book, his eyes lighting up as he said, "There are quite a few hot spring inns like this, but they are still quite rare in the entire Yotei Mountain area. Like Meisui Park, it is one of the most worthwhile places to visit in this region."

"Would you like to stay here and soak in the hot springs?"

Hayakawa looked at the antique-style gate in front of him, a glint in his eyes, and said softly.

"Well... I was originally planning to go to Otaru for a hot spring on the last day,"

Fumino Furuhashi, remembering her plan, looked at the hot spring station in front of her with a hesitant expression and said, "But this one seems better, a snow mountain hot spring..."

As she spoke, Fumino Kohashi hesitated.

"Rika, what do you think?"

Unable to make a definitive judgment himself, Furuhashi asked Ogata, who was standing next to him.

Rizu Ogata said nonchalantly, "I'm fine with anything, as long as I can eat anglerfish on the last day."

Chapter 272 Mixed Bathing

"Then go in."

Hayakawa nodded almost imperceptibly: "I'm tired from climbing, so I'll take a break too."

Normally, he wouldn't want to waste time soaking in a hot spring, but he had a restless night's sleep and now felt sticky and weak all over, so a hot spring soak would be a good way to relax.

More importantly, Fumino Furuhashi's original plan was to go to the hot springs together a few days later, while Hayakawa should have already been rushing down the waterfall at the temple by then.

I'm afraid I won't be able to go to the hot springs with them, so I'll go earlier.

The three entered the hot spring station and were greeted by a quaint, wooden-floored lobby. On either side were long benches with cushions for guests to rest, filled with a faint, warm atmosphere. At the far end of the space was a wall covered with wooden signs and shelves. The shelves were filled with all sorts of old-fashioned snacks and drinks, such as milk and marble soda, for guests to enjoy after their baths. Below the wooden signs sat an elderly woman, well past fifty, sitting there listlessly with her eyelids drooping, seemingly half asleep, yet also seemingly awake.

Apart from the old man, there were no other staff members at the inn, not even a single guest. Clearly, this path was a relatively remote corner of Yangti Mountain, usually deserted and neglected, and even the official scenic spot authorities didn't pay much attention to it.

Hayakawa walked along the floor and said to the elderly man sitting at the front desk, "Hello, there are three of us here, two women and one man. Can you arrange things quickly? We are in a hurry."

"Hey~ at least have some manners."

When Fumino Furuhashi saw that it was a tired old woman with a wrinkled face, she immediately leaned close to Hayakawa and whispered in her ear, "She is an elder."

"..."

Hayakawa looked at Fumino Furuhashi with an indifferent expression.

"Ugh…"

Fumino Furuhashi sighed helplessly, but she could understand Hayakawa. After all, the young master had been pampered since childhood, and he probably didn't have any respect for his elders in his rigid mind.

However, one should be gentler when speaking to the elderly, especially since they are almost asleep.

So Fumino Furuhashi spoke to the old man on Hayakawa's behalf. The old man, compared to Hayakawa, who had a cold expression and looked terrified, clearly preferred to talk to the pretty young girl. Before long, he gave the three of them a number and a key.

The three people took their number tags and entered their respective locker rooms at the end of the corridor. Hayakawa was stunned when he entered the locker room.

What comes into view is a world of pure wood: wooden doors, wooden floors, wooden cabinets, and wooden picture frames and decorations on the walls. The dark lines and patterns on them give a wonderful feeling, and the faint woody scent makes you feel as if you are in a natural world.

Hayakawa looked around in amazement, never expecting that such a place still existed in modern society. It could only be said that in this world of rapid technological development and rapid progress, there are still some unknown corners that stubbornly preserve those old pasts.

Just seeing this place makes today's trip worthwhile.

Hayakawa felt for the first time that his trip was worthwhile. He went to his locker according to the number and found that the lock was the oldest kind of mortise lock.

Hayakawa was truly impressed. He had previously wondered what the key was for, but now he knew.

He changed into a dark-colored cloth yukata and soon saw the entrance to the hot spring at the end of the corridor.

"Women's bath..."

Hayakawa immediately noticed the women's bath, then looked ahead and saw: "Mixed bath..."

"What about the men's bath?"

Hayakawa searched for a long time but couldn't find the third entrance. He stood there dumbfounded, lost in confusion and anger.

Is there only a mixed-gender bath and no men's bath?

Don't we men need privacy? And why is there a women's bath instead of a men's bath? I strongly demand that the women's bath be abolished as well, so that everyone can bathe together in a mixed bath.

Hayakawa shivered for a moment, and just as she was about to go inside, she found Furuhashi Fumino and Ogata Riju, who were also wearing yukatas, walking over from the other side of the corridor.

"You are here too."

Hayakawa looked at the two women and was drawn to their yukatas.

Furuhashi's yukata was a similar color to hers, just a little lighter, while Ogata Rizu chose a light-colored yukata. This was related to their preferences: Furuhashi liked the deep starry sky, while Ogata Rizu wasn't interested in the starry sky and, like most high school girls, preferred bright colors.

Hayakawa stared at the two women's bathrobes, his mind wandering inexplicably. Apart from the size, the men's and women's bathrobes were not much different in style. The common feature was that the front opening and the hem of the thighs were relatively wide, so as not to restrict the neck and make people feel cool and comfortable. After all, hot springs are places for people to relax.

However, from Hayakawa's perspective, it's a completely different story. Ogata Riju's bathrobe was already quite bulging, and now that the opening was a little wider, the cleavage inside was unfathomably deep. As for Furuhashi Fumino, although her chest was not something to look at, her long, snow-white legs at the hem of her clothes were captivating.

The bathrobe, originally designed to conceal the figure, has become an unexpectedly charming feature at this moment.

"..."

Hayakawa glanced at it, then silently looked away.

Luckily, I'm here; if it were any other guy, he probably would have already taken his pants off.

"Um…"

Fumino Furuhashi noticed that Hayakawa's face was slightly flushed, but she breathed a sigh of relief when Hayakawa looked away. She smiled and said, "I saw you peeking into the women's bath. Did you want to go in?"

"No ..."

Hayakawa pointed expressionlessly to the entrance of the hot spring: "I just couldn't find the men's bath."

"Men's bath?"

Fumino Furuhashi paused, looking towards the entrance next to the women's bath: "It's right here..."

She saw the words "mixed bathing" written on the curtain at the doorway and instantly fell into deep confusion and contemplation.

"Richie-chan".

After a long while, Gu Qiaowen finally spoke softly.

Rizu Ogata, who was also staring blankly at the doorway, replied, "Yeah."

"It's about time to go in..."

Fumino Furuhashi turned her head away from the doorway, but her tightly pursed lips distorted slightly, and her flushed face and trembling shoulders clearly indicated that she was suppressing a laugh.

"Goodbye."

Hayakawa walked towards the entrance with a dark expression.

"Ha ha,"

Fumino Furuhashi couldn't help but laugh out loud. Wiping her eyes, she said to Hayakawa, "This is too ridiculous. If it really doesn't work, isn't this a mixed bath? Do you want Ri-chan and me to go in with you?"

Hayakawa's eyes twitched slightly upon hearing this, his face turning as black as coal: "Alright, please come in."

"You're so beautiful, huh~"

Fumino Furuhashi gave a haughty snort and led Riju Ogata through the door.

Chapter 273 Let's Go for a Hot Spring Bath

"Let's go, Ri-chan."

Fumino Furuhashi spat at Hayakawa, then pulled Ogata Riju inside. Just as they entered, they felt a force pulling outwards from their hands and instinctively turned to look.

Although Ogata Riju was standing inside the warm doorway, her head was turned outwards, her eyes fixed on the direction outside, and she had stopped in her tracks.

"Rika?"

Fumino Furuhashi said softly, a strange feeling suddenly creeping into her mind.

It feels so familiar, like I've experienced the exact same thing before.

When did this happen...?

Fumino Furuhashi frowned, unable to recall.

"that…"

Rizu Ogata pointed to the doorway and whispered, "Hayakawa just called us over."

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, Fumino Furuhashi was slightly taken aback, tilting her head in a dazed and innocent way, revealing a natural look of confusion. The next moment, her pink lips widened and her eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at Ogata: "Huh?!"

"What are you saying, Ri-chan?"

Fumino Furuhashi grabbed the shoulders of the science-loving girl in front of her incredulously, shook her for a moment, and said, "Are you going to the mixed bath with Hayakawa?"
