Chapter 55 - Hot Spring Trip (VI)

The next morning, when dawn broke, sunlight didn't reach the faces of the two sleeping people because it was blocked by thick curtains. The room was still dark, only lit by dim light sneaking through small gaps at the edges of the curtains.

(I stayed up too late last night...)

Without the usual burning sunlight, and after a night of revelry in warm embrace, Naoki only opened his eyes after midday. His consciousness was still half-asleep, his thoughts drifting between dream and reality.

As if sensing faint movement, Tenka who was being hugged tightly by Naoki yawned softly. Her naked body still pressed perfectly, their skin touching at every point. She opened her eyes with a forced expression—still sleepy, but reluctant to miss time with her lover.

Tenka tried to get up, but as soon as she moved her body, soreness immediately struck. Her body trembled briefly, and she immediately realized something was wrong.

(My body still feels a bit sore... Oh right, I let Naoki-kun do anal sex last night. No wonder it feels like losing virginity for the second time.)

Although somewhat uncomfortable—a faint ache in an unusual place—Tenka's mood was good when she opened her eyes and saw Naoki's face in front of her.

She couldn't help but smile.

Meanwhile, Naoki felt waves of joy seeing Tenka's expression so gentle. That girl looked at him with full love, without shyness, without reservation. He couldn't help but pull her closer and hug her gently.

(Are all girls this beautiful and attractive in the morning?)

"Good morning, Naoki-kun~" Tenka greeted, her voice still hoarse from just waking up, but still sweet.

"Mm. Morning."

"Mmm, Naoki-kun~" Tenka shifted her body, bringing her face closer. "Kiss~"

She acted flirtatious, something she rarely did in front of others. Her soft and sweet voice made hearts flutter. The mature and elegant nature she usually showed in public seemed to melt into coyness, specifically for this man.

(Oh my, Tenka is too seductive! She's not only clinging since morning, but also asking for kisses in that style.)

Now he understood the old saying: women are the graves of heroes.

Tenka's soft body pressed tightly against him, warmth spreading at every touch. That feeling was truly intoxicating—stronger than alcohol, more addictive than illegal drugs.

The contrast with Tenka's usually mature and confident personality was too great! But that's exactly what made her even more adorable!

How could Naoki refuse?

What group of men could pass such a test? Perhaps the group of beta protagonists like Orimura Ichika and Yuuki Rito. Even when women had already surrendered themselves in front of them, beta protagonists could always find reasons to escape. That attitude made people wonder if they were impotent or gay?

Naoki clearly wasn't that type.

When he looked back at Tenka's beautiful pink lips, he couldn't help but remember last night's events. How that girl complied with all the fantasies and positions he requested without the slightest complaint. Tenka was a perfect partner—not only in love, but also in submission.

"Naoki-kun~"

Tenka hugged him like a kitten, rubbing her body against Naoki's, asking for affection.

Naoki smiled, then leaned down and kissed those lips—soft, warm, full of feeling. A brief morning kiss, but enough to make Tenka purr satisfied.

His hand crept, finding those ample breasts and caressing them gently. His fingers played with the nipples beginning to harden. Then he leaned down, sucking them several times—enough to make Tenka squirm slightly.

It seemed this would become their daily routine during vacation.

After all, according to incomplete statistics, couples who were in love usually only hugged and felt happy even without saying a word.

Indeed it was so.

◆━⊰✿✧✿⊱━◆

Only when their stomachs began to growl did the two reluctantly get out of bed. They showered together in the luxurious bathroom—which of course took longer than usual due to mischievous hands that were hard to keep still.

Naoki gazed at Tenka still in his embrace. It was already midday, past twelve o'clock, but they hadn't even had breakfast, their stomachs had long been starving.

Because last night he had expended much energy and this morning was no less active, Tenka was hungry. She whined softly, hugging Naoki while saying, "Naoki-kun... I'm hungry... find me food..."

Since this was a hot spring resort, finding a place to eat was very easy. But Tenka was still a bit tired—even walking felt somewhat awkward, an effect from last night's activities. So Naoki took the walkie-talkie provided in the room and asked for help.

"Urataro-san, could we request lunch delivered to our room?"

"Of course, Naoki-sama. Any particular preferences?"

"As long as it's delicious and plentiful. We're hungry."

Urataro laughed softly on the other side. "Understood. We'll prepare it immediately."

Getting food delivered to the room without having to leave turned out to be far more enjoyable than eating at a restaurant. They could stay relaxed, remain in private comfort, and didn't need to wear formal clothes.

Coincidentally, the servants here were very well-trained. They automatically kept their distance, appearing only when called, and disappearing when not needed. Besides, these rooms were perfectly soundproof, so worries about last night's sounds didn't need to be thought about.

*KNOCK-KNOCK-KNOCK!*

Not long after, polite knocking was heard at the door. Urataro entered with two maids behind him, pushing a large silver trolley. They arranged the table quickly and efficiently, then bowed and left without much talk.

This day's lunch was as lavish as the previous night—perhaps even more luxurious. Grilled Australian lobster with butter, filet mignon with mushroom sauce, selected red wine, various desserts, and of course crispy fried foods as snacks.

For a private feast at a place this upscale, taste was everything. Even if Naoki requested curry rice—simple homemade food—the chefs would surely make it with the best level of perfection, using the most expensive ingredients.

In that room, the dining table was neatly arranged. Various dishes were beautifully arranged, tempting colors, their aroma filling the room. The sight was so stunning that Naoki was confused about where to start.

Tenka sat beside him—not across. She still wanted to be very close to that man, even while eating she leaned against Naoki's body, as if that physical contact gave her special pleasure.

Fortunately, she was still willing to eat by herself. Naoki didn't need to feed her like a baby. Although, honestly, he wouldn't mind if asked.

After all, Tenka wasn't heavy at all. When she leaned, her body only provided warmth and fragrant aroma. That was clearly meant to increase appetite, right?

Lunch proceeded leisurely. They chatted about small things—about food, about the view from the window, about afternoon plans. Tenka occasionally fed Naoki, and Naoki reciprocated. Small laughter was heard between chews.

After finishing eating and tidying up as necessary, the two chose to take a walk.

◆━⊰✿✧✿⊱━◆

Asakusa in the daytime offered scenery that contrasted with the hustle and bustle of central Tokyo. Here, tradition and modernity blended in unique harmony.

Naoki and Tenka held hands walking down the streets, leaving the resort area and entering the main tourist district.

They passed the iconic Kaminarimon gate with its giant red lantern. Thousands of tourists took photos in front of that gate, but Tenka and Naoki chose to just pass by, enjoying the view from afar.

"When was the last time you came here?" Naoki asked.

Tenka thought for a moment. "A few years ago, maybe? When I was still in high school. There was a cultural study visit. But back then I just went along, nothing special. Now... it's different."

"Different how?"

"Because I'm with Naoki-kun." Tenka looked at him. "Same place, different person, different experience."

Naoki smiled, his hand squeezing tighter.

They entered Nakamise-dori, the shopping street stretching from Kaminarimon to Senso-ji temple.

Rows of shops on the left and right sold various typical souvenirs—traditional fans, yukata, snacks, handicrafts. The aroma of grilled rice cakes and traditional sweets filled the air.

Tenka was interested in a shop selling ningyo-yaki—small doll-shaped cakes filled with red bean paste. She bought a package, immediately opened it and offered one to Naoki's mouth.

"Try it."

Naoki bit, tasting the sweetness of bean paste mixed with the soft cake skin. "Delicious."

Tenka smiled satisfied, then popped one into her own mouth.

They continued their journey, occasionally stopping at shops that caught their attention. Tenka bought several keychains for souvenirs, while Naoki was more interested in shops selling antiques and samurai sword replicas.

"Interested?" Tenka asked seeing him staring at a replica katana.

"A bit." Naoki shrugged. "But not practical to bring home."

After being satisfied with small shopping, they continued their journey toward Senso-ji temple. Tokyo's oldest temple stood majestically at the end of the street, with a five-story pagoda beside it and a main hall always filled with visitors.

They performed traditional rituals—washing hands at the fountain, burning incense for health, and praying at the main altar. Tenka looked serious when praying, her eyes closed, her lips moving slowly.

Naoki stole a glance, curious what she was praying for.

After finishing, they bought omikuji—fortune predictions. Tenka got "kichi" (moderate fortune), while Naoki got "daikichi" (great fortune). Tenka pretended to be jealous.

"Not fair! Naoki-kun is always lucky."

"Lucky because I have you, maybe?"

Instead of blushing, Tenka smiled thinly. "You're getting better at making women happy."

"But it's true, right?"

"..."

Tenka didn't answer, only rested her head on Naoki's shoulder.

They walked toward the park behind the temple, a quieter and calmer place. The cherry blossom trees hadn't bloomed yet—still too early—but their green leaves still provided shade. Park benches were occupied by several couples and families.

They sat on a bench facing a small pond containing colorful koi fish. Tenka took off her shoes, soaking her feet in the cold water.

"Naoki-kun."

"Hm?"

"I'm glad we decided to vacation."

"Me too."

They sat quietly, enjoying the peaceful afternoon. The koi fish swam lazily in the pond, waiting for pellets occasionally thrown by visitors. In the distance, the sound of clinking coins thrown into the offering box could be faintly heard.

"Tenka."

"Hm?"

"Thank you for inviting me here."

Tenka smiled, then leaned over and kissed Naoki's cheek.

"You're welcome. Thank you for being willing to come."

They hugged on that park bench, two souls who found happiness in simplicity together. The sun slowly moved westward, illuminating the sky with golden orange color.

The day was still long, and there was still a second night waiting.
