The author of the depressing comic book series makes the heroine cry.

Tsumugi chuckled and covered her mouth. "Yes, it's a mixed bathing open-air hot spring. You can watch the stars while soaking in the hot spring."

"Hot spring?!" Eriri's eyes lit up, her twin ponytails swinging happily, "Finally I can take a hot spring bath! I'm so tired from rehearsals~"

Kasumigaoka Utaha stretched lazily: "It's a good opportunity to relax my sore muscles."

"Hot springs, so nice."

Tuanzi next to him clenched his fists and waved them excitedly. "I also brought a lot of beautiful hairbands. I can tie them up when I take a hot spring bath later."

"Mixed bathing hot spring? That sounds awesome!"

Dai Wei's eyes widened and he stamped his feet with excitement, holding the bag of snacks tightly in his hand, as if he was about to rush into the hot spring in the next second.

"I'm going to take my little duck with me. It's going to be so much fun!"

"I... I'm looking forward to it too." Mio lowered his head slightly, his hands unconsciously tugging at the corners of his clothes, "It will be fun to be with everyone."

She raised her eyes secretly, her gaze stayed on Xia Qiu for a moment, then quickly moved away, her cheeks slightly flushed.

"It's really nice, soaking in the hot springs and watching the shooting stars, so romantic."

Minami Kotori folded her hands over her chest with a look of longing on her face, "It feels like a fairy tale."

As for the pajama party, it was naturally forgotten by everyone.

However, taking a hot spring bath is at least more pleasing to the eye than a pajama party.

Xia Qiu listened to everyone's discussion, nodded, and felt that there was something to be done.

"Hehe, then I have to prepare the tarot cards and tell fortunes for everyone."

Yang Nai shook the gold-rimmed tarot cards in her hand and said, "Maybe I can figure out who has the deepest connection with Xia Qiujun."

She deliberately lengthened her tone, attracting the attention of the girls around her.

At this moment, Yukinoshita Yukino's cold voice suddenly sounded: "Sister, please don't promote superstitious activities in this kind of occasion."

Yang No blinked in a wronged manner: "Oh, Xiao Xue No is shy? When we were little, she even pestered me to use tarot cards to predict her future husband~"

"That, that was when I was a kid and didn't understand anything!" The tips of Yukino's ears instantly turned red, and a hint of panic flashed across her ice-blue eyes.

Yuigahama Yui quickly tried to smooth things over: "Okay, okay, let's go change into yukata first! We'll feel dizzy if we soak in the hot spring for too long!"

"I agree~" Team Lu put his arm around Mio's shoulders, "Come on, come on, I brought a super cute bunny yukata!"

Mio blushed and struggled: "Wait... I can walk by myself..."

Looking at the girls' chattering backs as they left, Xia Qiu was about to breathe a sigh of relief when he was suddenly grabbed by three pairs of hands at the same time.

On the left is Kasumigaoka Utaha's fingers painted with black nail polish: "Junior brother, do you want me to help you choose a yukata?"

On the right is Eriri's puffed up little hand: "Idiot! You are not allowed to go with this girl in black stockings!"

I could hear the soft voice of Qiongmei from behind: "Onii-chan...you promised to accompany me..."

Kato appeared at the corner of the corridor without knowing when, and looked at them calmly: "Tsumugi said that the hot spring bathing agent is ready, and it has the grapefruit flavor that Xia Qiujun likes."

Xia Qiu: “…”

Oh my god, how come this Shura field is suddenly more tiring than rehearsal!

......

Everyone went back to their rooms to prepare, and Xia Qiu also returned to her room. As soon as she sat down, she heard someone knocking on the door.

"Come in," he said.

The door opened and Qiongmei walked in with a pile of clothes: "Onii-chan, look, I have prepared so many beautiful pajamas, can you help me choose one?" As she spoke, she put the clothes on the bed and showed them to Xia Qiu one by one.

"Xiao Qiong, they all look great. Just wear whichever you like." Xia Qiu said with a smile.

"No, I want Onii-chan to help me choose." Qiong-mei said coquettishly, "Also, Onii-chan and I want to wear couple pajamas."

"Couple pajamas?!" Xia Qiu's eyes widened, "Xiao Qiong, this... is not good."

“What’s wrong with that!” Qiong-mei puffed up her cheeks and picked out two pairs of the same cat pajamas from the pile of clothes. “Look, how cute! They will definitely suit you perfectly!”

Xia Qiu looked at the furry one-piece pajamas, with the tail still dangling behind her butt, and immediately didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "This is obviously a women's style..."

"No way!" Qiongmei's eyes sparkled, "Eromanga-sensei said this is Unisex! It will be absolutely fine for Onii-chan to wear it!"

Just when Xia Qiu wanted to decline, the door was suddenly pushed open again.

"Xia Qiu-kun~ I borrowed a yukata from Tsumugi's house for you..." Eriri's voice stopped abruptly. She stared at the cat pajamas spread out on the bed with wide eyes, "What kind of shameful play is this?!"

Qiong-mei immediately stood in front of the pajamas like a kitten protecting its food: "This is the couple outfit of Onii-chan and I! Don't mess with it, you loser golden retriever!"

“Huh?! Who are you calling a loser!” Eriri was so angry that her twin ponytails were about to stand up, “And there’s no way Xia Qiu would wear such childish pajamas!”

"Onii-chan agreed!" Qiong-mei turned around and looked at Xia Qiu with her big wet eyes. She looked very cute, "Right?"

Xia Qiu smiled bitterly and shook his head, "When did I..."

"Ah~" Kasumigaoka Utaha also appeared in time, leaning against the door frame, swinging a dark yukata in her hand, "If you wear that kind of pajamas, I can't help but take a photo and post it on SNS~"

"Senior Shiyu!" Xia Qiu held his forehead with his hand. These two people were making him feel uneasy. "Why are you all..."

At this time, Kato poked his head out from behind Kasumigaoka: "Tsumugi said the hot spring is ready, everyone can go over after changing clothes."

Eriri snatched the yukata from Kasumigaoka's hand and said, "This one is more suitable for Natsuki-kun! Cat pajamas are too childish!"

“It’s not childish!” Qiong-mei hugged her pajamas angrily, “Onii-chan looks the cutest in this!”

Seeing that the argument was going on, Xia Qiu suddenly had an idea: "How about... I wear this bathrobe and put on a cat pajamas jacket on the outside?"

The three girls turned their heads at the same time: "No!"

Finally, at Xia Qiu's insistence, he chose the most common dark blue bathrobe.

When I walked out of the room, I found that the corridor was already bustling with activity.

"Wow! Tsumugi's yukata is so pretty!"

Tuanzi circled around Tsumugi, "This gold thread embroidery is so delicate!"

"Thank you~ My mother brought it back from Kyoto last year." Tsumugi nodded with satisfaction. It was worth her careful selection. It would be best if Qiuqiu could pounce on it immediately when she saw it.

On the other side, Dai Wei was trying to tie the yukata belt into a bow: "Ritsu-chan, help me check if the back is crooked!"

"Stupid Wei! That's not how you wear a yukata!" Team Lu hurriedly helped her put it on.

Xia Qiu was watching intently when Yang Noi suddenly patted her shoulder from behind: "Xia Qiu-kun, do you want to see Xiao Xue Noi's yukata? It's so cute~"

Xia Qiu was stunned, and followed the direction she pointed, and saw Xue Noi standing by the window.

Under the moonlight, the light blue yukata makes Yukino's skin look as white as snow, and the crystal accessories on the ends of her hair sparkle.

As if feeling Xia Qiu's gaze, Xueno turned her head and turned her face away slightly when her eyes met Xia Qiu's, but the tips of her ears turned red.

"How is it?" Yang Nai poked Xia Qiu with his elbow with a wicked smile, "My sister is very beautiful, right?"

Xia Qiu smiled and nodded, "Of course."

"Then do you want to eat..."

"Sister!" Xueno walked over quickly, "Please don't say anything weird."

"Ah~ Are you shy?"

When Yang Noi saw Xue Noi running over, she suddenly leaned close to Xia Qiu's ear, and a burst of fragrance was intoxicating.

"I'll tell you a secret, what Yukino is wearing underneath is..."

what?

Xia Qiu couldn't help but widen his eyes. Although he knew that this was not good, he really subconsciously wanted to know.

Damn it, I can't control my eyes!

Xia Qiu couldn't help but move, but happened to bump into Nan Xiaoniao who was walking beside him.

"Ah!" Nan Xiaoniao cried out softly, and the little duck toy in her hand fell to the ground.

"Sorry!" Xia Qiu bent down to pick it up, but when he looked up, he saw something he shouldn't have seen.

Minami Kotori blushed and quickly pressed down the hem of her yukata.

The pink and white thing she wears inside is so cute and plump.

"No, it's okay..." Xiaoniao took the toy and blushed as she whispered, "Senior is also...very handsome."

At this time, Tsumugi clapped her hands: "Everyone, the hot spring is ready, please follow me~"

The open-air hot spring is located in the backyard of the villa, and the curling hot steam looks like a fairyland under the moonlight.

Everyone came to a large mixed bathing pool, from where they could see the sea in the distance.

"Wow, this hot spring is amazing!"

Dai Wei jumped up and down with excitement, still holding her little duck tightly in her hand, "I'm going to get down quickly!" As she said that, she quickly began to untie the belt of her yukata.

The belt of her yukata quickly loosened, exposing her snow-white shoulders in an instant, but she was unaware of it and continued to prepare to jump.

It involuntarily attracted Xia Qiu's attention.

In the moonlight, it sparkles with a warm white jade-like color.

No wonder in my previous life, liking collarbones was also a major trend.

Xia Qiu quickly looked away, coughed lightly and reminded: "Wei, prepare for the bath first..."

Team Lu quickly grabbed Dai Wei by the collar and said, "Idiot! At least take a shower first!"

"Oh~ what a trouble..." Dai Wei pouted, her yukata had slipped down to her elbows, revealing a large area of ​​snow-white skin.

Mio blushed and turned her head away: "At least pay attention to your image..."

"What does it matter~" Yang No had untied her yukata without knowing when, and was only wrapped in a bath towel, her graceful figure looming in the moonlight, "We are all girls anyway~"

She deliberately winked at Xia Qiu: "Right, Xia Qiujun?"

Xia Qiu's Adam's apple rolled unconsciously. Just as he was about to answer, Ying Lili suddenly blocked his view with her hand: "Don't look! This vixen!"

The girl next to her, Kasumigaoka Utaha, had already undressed her yukata elegantly, revealing her long, beautiful legs. "The little golden retriever is so nervous, is she not confident about her figure?"

"Who, who has no confidence!" Eriri glared at her with her deep blue eyes and puffed out her chest angrily. However, she was directly ignored by Kasumigaoka Utaha.

Ying Lili was stunned. Am I so non-threatening?

She subconsciously glanced at her chest and immediately deflated.

Damn it!

Is it possible for me to just let Xia Qiu try hard to help me every night?

At this time, Kato calmly walked past everyone and said, "I'm going to take a shower first."

"Wait for me!" Sister Qiong trotted after him, not forgetting to turn back and remind him, "Onii-chan, you can peek!"

"Xiao Qiong, Onii-chan, I'm not that kind of person."

Xia Qiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and shook his head. This little sister was getting more and more crooked.

Does German orthopedics really need to have its own place?

Xia Qiu thought about it carefully and it seemed that it was not impossible.

......

When Xia Qiu finished his shower and came to the hot spring wrapped in a bath towel, the girls were already soaking in the pool in groups of three or four.

Under the moonlight, the surface of the hot spring was shimmering, and the girls' white shoulders and necks were vaguely visible in the steaming hot air.

"Xia Xia, come here!" Dai Wei waved excitedly, "It's super comfortable here!"

In summer and autumn, you step gently into the hot spring, and the warm water instantly wraps your whole body.

He chose a relatively open spot to sit down, with the water just reaching his chest.

"Xia Qiujun~"

Yang Nai quietly swam to his side, the curves under the towel looming in the water, "Do you want me to help you wipe your back?"

"No, no need..."

Xia Qiu looked at this sinister woman with caution, always feeling that she had bad intentions.

Then he moved to the side, but bumped into a soft body.

"Junior~" Kasumigaoka Utaha whispered in his ear, full of seductive meaning.

Her long hair was wet and stuck to her fair neck, and her burgundy eyes were particularly charming in the moonlight.

However, Ying Lili, who was always paying attention to Xia Qiu, moved her deep blue eyes and immediately squeezed over from the other side.

“This spot is mine!”

As the three of them were tugging, Xia Qiu's towel almost slipped off, and he quickly grabbed it: "Wait! Calm down!"

Do these three guys want to expose themselves in public?

I don’t have a fetish for being naked!

"Ah! Meteor!" Nan Xiaoniao suddenly exclaimed, pointing at the sky.

Everyone looked up and saw several bright lights streaking across the night sky.

"So beautiful..." Yukino exclaimed softly, her ice-blue eyes reflecting the starlight.

Tsumugi smiled gently: "It is said that making a wish to a shooting star will be very effective."

The girls clasped their hands together and closed their eyes.

Xia Qiu also made a wish silently, but when he opened his eyes, he found that the girls around him were all secretly looking at him.

"What wish did you make, senior?" the bird asked curiously.

"Well..." Xia Qiu smiled mysteriously, "It won't work if you say it out loud."

After all, the wish I made was quite bold!

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, all of them can’t be missing!

"Tsk~" Dai Wei puffed up his cheeks, "Stingy!"

Yang No suddenly came closer: "Could it be... about one of us?"

The atmosphere in the hot spring suddenly became subtle.

Kasumigaoka Utaha chuckled, her wine-red eyes showing that she saw through Xia Qiu completely.

"I think it must be something... He wants to have several NPYs at the same time~"

"Haha, senior sister, I just want to give everyone a warm home."

What could I have done wrong?

Xia Qiu spread out his hands, looking like he was giving up.

Anyway, the four of them now already know each other.

Ying Lili widened her deep blue eyes and her face flushed red. It was hard to tell whether it was because of the hot steam from the hot spring or because she was angry at Xia Qiu's bold remarks.
