However, Li Mo was very open-minded. He felt that if the girl was allowed to come to the dormitory alone and her two younger sisters were left at home, it would not only add burden to the girl's already busy parents, but there would definitely be times when they would not be able to take care of the two children.

Instead of worrying about my family during the hot spring training, I might as well bring them out to play together. After all, the two children's tickets combined are not as expensive as Shizuka Hiratsuka's adult ticket.

"Is it really okay to invite me too? It seems like Lemon has only been in Asakura-kun's club for a short time."

In the car, as the only two male companions, Shaoyan Lemon's childhood sweetheart Ayano Mitsuki naturally squeezed into the back seat with Li Mo, while Shaoyan Lemon sat on the other side of Ayano Mitsuki.

"It doesn't matter. Being able to bring your family here is part of our training. If you're not happy about it, don't join us!" Li Mo said in a dignified voice.

But in fact, the cost of Ayano Mitsuki's hot spring trip was paid by Shaoyan Lemon. After all, helping Shaoyan Lemon to confess was just a commission. If Li Mo and others were asked to pay for the client's hot spring trip, it would be too much of a waste. It is said that the other party even smashed her beloved piggy bank for this.

But even so, after calculating the cost of the trip, Li Mo couldn't help but start to worry about his savings.

It's not a good idea to just sit back and eat up all the money. I have to find a way to open up more sources of income... Or else I can find an opportunity to pretend to be a charlatan, or go to a shrine and pretend to be a living god possessed by their gods...

Considering the rampant cults in Japan, it seems like a good idea to specifically look for those who are robbing each other.

"Come to think of it, I'm still not sure what kind of club Asakura-kun founded."

Ayano Mitsuki, who wore glasses like Li Mo and looked quite pretty and bookish, asked gently.

"It's the Ministry of Magic!" Before Li Mo could speak, Shao Yan Lemon beside him immediately said.

It was not known whether the girl felt that Li Mo's 'Chiba Magic Society' sounded too strange and aroused her childhood friend's suspicion, or whether she simply couldn't remember such a long and difficult name and just said a random word that she remembered.

"Ministry of Magic?" Mitsuki Ayano looked curious.

"Well, it's probably a club that studies magic, the supernatural, or something like that." Considering that half of the purpose of this training camp was to bring the two around him together, Li Mo didn't go out of his way to correct Shaoyan Lemon, but explained according to her words.

"I didn't expect Lemon to be interested in these things," Ayano Mitsuki said, pushing her glasses up in surprise. "By the way, if this kind of activity is something like this, shouldn't it be called the Supernatural Club?"

"The previous Paranormal Club was disbanded after burning straw on the school rooftop in an attempt to summon a UFO. So, there's no way to reorganize it, so we just have to change the name."

Li Mo started to talk nonsense seriously.

"Is this actually happening..." Ayano Mitsuki showed a surprised expression.

"You can't expect a person with Chuunibyou to have too much self-control, right?" Li Mo said with a smile.

Mitsuki Ayano fell silent when she saw the serious bandage on Li Mo's left arm and the heterochromic eyes that looked quite unnatural, as if he was wearing cosmetic contact lenses.

Chapter 49: Those who seek death do not deserve sympathy

"finally reached!"

When the van stopped in front of a traditional-looking Japanese wooden attic building, Yanami couldn't wait to open the door and get out. She stretched her body, showing off her impressive figure, which was completely different from that of the unnamed second young lady Yukinoshita in the passenger seat. "I'm almost suffocating!"

"Is it because I ate too much..."

Yukinoshita, who was wearing a dark grey knitted hat, glanced at Yana and then looked away, murmuring in a voice that no one else could hear.

Her cat ears haven't disappeared yet.

Although Li Mo had communicated with Gokou Ruri, Gokou Ruri was unwilling to lift the curse so easily. Even though Li Mo explained to her that he had not suffered any hardship because of Yukinoshita's accusation, Gokou Ruri refused to believe it.

For the girl who had received Li Mo's pure help without expecting anything in return, there was no doubt that was the reason why Li Mo forgave her so easily.

Because he is kind!

But good people can't always be pointed at with guns, so even if Li Mo himself doesn't care, or it may make Li Mo unhappy, the girl still wants to help him take revenge on Yukinoshita and let Li Mo vent his anger.

"At least she won't have an easy time on this hot spring trip!" The girl said to Li Mo.

In other words, I'll wait until the hot spring trip is over to remove the curse from Yukinoshita.

After understanding this, Li Mo didn't say anything more.

Anyway, this hot spring hotel is quite remote, so it doesn't matter even if the girl's cat ears are exposed to the hotel staff. After all, by the time Yukinoshita returns to the city, the curse will have been lifted, so it won't cause any trouble.

It is worth mentioning that Yukinoshita Yukino paid for her share of the hot spring trip herself.

After all, she was not a member of the Ministry of Magic, and she had insisted on coming here, so Li Mo had no obligation to pay for her.

Having said that, Yukinoshita seemed to be a wealthy woman. She paid the money, which was a bit expensive for a student, without any hesitation, and did not feel the heartache she had when she paid for the salt and lemon.

"Although I've heard it's in the countryside, it's too remote..." Shizuka Hiratsuka said while holding a lollipop.

As an adult, Shizuka Hiratsuka was smoking, but although she looked very rough in her behavior, she was actually quite ethical. Even when she felt the urge to smoke in the small space of the car, she didn't smoke, but used a lollipop instead.

By the way, the provider of the lollipop was naturally Yanami.

In addition to a change of clothes, her small backpack was filled with a bunch of snacks, including a handful of lollipops.

But after two of her lollipops were taken by Shizuka Hiratsuka, the girl collapsed when she saw the pitiful looks of Gokou Ruri's two sisters. In the end, she couldn't even eat a single lollipop herself.

"It's said that the founder of this hot spring hotel discovered the water quality here was excellent, and he didn't want to run long pipes and pollute the water, so he simply built a hot spring hotel here," Li Mo told Hiratsuka Shizuka the information he had found online. "Later, because of his strict requirements for hot springs and his spirit of craftsmanship, he was called the 'Hot Spring Sage'..."

"The quality of hot springs has nothing to do with craftsmanship, right?" Shizuka Hiratsuka couldn't help but complain.

"It doesn't matter. No matter what industry you're in, as long as you have the spirit of craftsmanship, you can be called an immortal."

"No, no, no, that's not the case at all. Take the hot springs for example. What if there's a problem with the spring and there's no hot spring left?"

"Then it can only be red bean paste Simimasa."

"..."

Just as Li Mo and Shizuka Hiratsuka were discussing the topic of traditional Japanese culture, Mitsuki Ayano and Yakitori Yakitori, who were sitting at the back of the car, also walked out of the car.

Unlike Ayano Mitsuki, who was sandwiched between Li Mo and Shaoyan Lemon in the car and looked touched and refreshed now that she could finally breathe fresh air, Shaoyan Lemon still looked dizzy.

Yuigahama Yui thought she was carsick and considerately brought her some motion sickness medicine, but it turned out that the athletic girl was fine. It was just that the experience of having skin-to-skin contact with her lover throughout the more than one-hour car journey had made the flower field in her mind bloom.

Judging from her expression, she even felt that the journey was too short and wished that Shizuka Hiratsuka could drive for a few more hours...

"It looks so awesome!" "It's just like in anime!"

The two little girls from the Gogen family looked at the quaint hot spring hotel with shining eyes.

This hot spring hotel, which looks a bit like the bathhouse in "Spirited Away", does look a bit intimidating, but after walking inside you can find that it is actually quite modern.

"Hello, I'm Takuma Asakura. I had an appointment two days ago."

"It's already been prepared," the proprietress, who looked to be over sixty with white hair and wrinkled skin, nodded amiably. "Would you like to eat first, take a shower first, or..."

“Eat first—!”

Before Li Mo could complain, a hungry beast immediately rushed to the battlefield - The Yanami·Drool·Apricot!

"Okay, go and prepare it for the guests right away. Please take a rest and the waitresses will take you to the restaurant later." The proprietress, who was caught off guard and had spit on her face by the girl, remained calm and said with a smile.

After the proprietress left, Hiratsuka Shizuka couldn't help but lecture Yanami: "Yanaimi, you were so rude just now. And didn't you just eat hot spring manju in the car?"

"Teacher Hiratsuka, hot spring buns... they are sweet." Yana looked serious, as if she was telling some truth.

"So what?" Shizuka Hiratsuka was confused.

"That means it's sweet! And for girls, sweets are in a different stomach!"

"Don't give me such nonsense seriously!"

"Hmph, is it really impossible to expect Mr. Hiratsuka to understand girls nowadays..." Yanai shook his head and spread his hands helplessly.

Li Mo seemed to hear the sound of something breaking in Hiratsuka Shizuka's head - probably his reason or something - and he couldn't help but show a sympathetic expression to Yanami, "How dare this guy?"

Yukinoshita Yukino took two steps back as if nothing had happened, putting some distance between herself and Yanami, with an attitude of "don't let your blood splash on me".

Although Gokou Ruri didn't know what was going on, after seeing the two of them reacting, she pretended to be nonchalant and covered her sisters' eyes.

"Very good, Yanaijian, just grit your teeth." Shizuka Hiratsuka showed the most gentle smile ever, but the sound of waving her fists inexplicably reminded people of the sound of drawing a sword for Iai Slash.

"Wait... corporal punishment of a girl is really inappropriate, right?!" Yanami protested immediately.

"It's okay, teacher," Hiratsuka Shizuka said calmly, "I advocate equality between men and women."

"Ah, violent opposition..."

Chapter 50 I Have a Friend

Li Molong booked three rooms in total.

He and Mitsuki Ayano shared a room as male companions, while the girls and Shizuka Hiratsuka had two rooms. The rooms were quite spacious and even had a small open-air courtyard with a small hot spring pool, which was specially provided for guests who did not want to take a bath in the large hot spring pool.

It is worth mentioning that this hot spring hotel does not have beds. The floor of the room is tatami, so you just need to make the bed on the floor before going to bed.

In other words, the number of people that can stay in a room is not fixed, it all depends on the conscience of the person who books the room...

"Would you like to soak in the hot springs for a while before eating?"

While putting the luggage in the room, Li Mo extended an invitation to Mitsuki Ayano.

"The pond in the yard looks a little small..." Mitsuki Ayano was also tempted. After all, she had been stuck in the car for more than an hour and was already sweating.

"I heard that this hotel has mixed bathing." Li Mo said mysteriously.

"...Asakura, since we're both men, let me tell you the truth."

Mitsuki Ayano pushed her glasses up on her nose, the lenses reflecting a white light. "Never trust mixed bathing in hot spring hotels. Thinking you can see good things in such places will only lead to a very tragic end."

"Is that right?"

Because the other party's expression was so serious, Li Mo couldn't tell for a moment whether he was joking or really warning him about something.

"A friend of mine once had similar expectations for mixed bathing..."

Ayano Mitsuki said with a hollow look in her eyes, "But when we actually got to the mixed bathing pool, we found there weren't any young women there. Besides the men, there were only old women and monkeys. And once we got in, our pride wouldn't allow us to leave without even taking a dip. And once we did, those withered old women would inexplicably come up to us, commenting on our muscles, even touching and pinching them. For a while, I... well, my friend even thought her chastity was in danger."

Li Mo: “…”

It's best if you say it's your friend.

However, Mitsuki Ayano's tragic experience in the past also made Li Mo give up the idea of ​​going to a mixed bath.

Considering that he would have to take a shower before going to the big pool, Li Mo finally decided to go to the hot spring after eating the lunch provided by the hotel.

This decision was quite correct, because soon the hotel waitress came to tell them that lunch was ready.

Because the girls' rooms were closer, by the time Li Mo and Ayano Mitsuki arrived at the cafeteria, they had already arrived.

At this time, the girls had already changed into the yukata provided by the hotel. Especially Yanami Yuigahama and the others, their faces were rosy and their bodies had a moist and misty feeling. They must have been in the hot spring, and they looked a little more charming than usual.

The exception was Shizuka Hiratsuka, who was sitting in front of the coffee table with her legs spread wide open. Even though her yukata was not properly worn, revealing a large area of ​​white flesh, she did not give off any sexual desire at all. She only gave people the inexplicable impression of a Yakuza big sister, as if she would tear off one side of her yukata at any time, revealing her bra and shoulders covered with tattoos.

What's interesting is that Yukinoshita Yukino has also changed into a yukata, but because of this she can't wear a knitted hat, so she can only wrap a bath towel around her head to cover her cat ears, which makes the girl's head look huge and funny. If you smile in front of her, she will glare at you fiercely.

Most of the rooms in the hotel do not look much different. They are almost all square Japanese-style rooms with not much furniture. The floor is covered with tatami mats that smell like straw mats.

The same is true for the restaurant. Apart from being slightly larger in size, there is nothing special about it. There are just small coffee tables that are suitable for the number of people, and on the coffee tables are the hotel's special hot spring meals.

The main dish is mackerel stewed in miso. It is said that the miso used is a mixed miso made by the hotel itself, which uses hot spring water, so it has a special taste.

Li Mo tasted it during the day, and apart from feeling it was a bit salty, he didn't get the feeling that the promotion said, "rich in various trace elements needed by the human body, bringing a hot spring-like enjoyment to the taste buds!"

The staple food is eight-color rice bowl.

It sounds impressive but it's actually just a few types of sashimi rice bowls. However, if you count carefully, there are indeed more than eight colors. It looks very colorful and bright. I can only say that Japanese cuisine is still good at plating.

However, as a time traveler from the Celestial Empire, Li Mo didn't like eating raw food very much, so except for the slightly roasted crab legs and marinated fish roe, all the other sashimi were given to Yanami, who was still reluctant to finish his own portion.

In addition, there are hot spring eggs and homemade pickles from the hotel. Among them, Li Mo’s favorite is a pickle called Fukujinzuke. It tastes very refreshing and a little sweet, which suits his taste very well. If it were in South Korea, it would definitely be a state banquet-level kimchi.

The last soup was chawanmushi, which sounds very mysterious, but after opening the lid, it was just ordinary egg custard. The only surprise was that there was a ginkgo hidden under the tea bowl, which gave the egg custard a special fragrance.

Perhaps it was because the impression of tyranny that Shizuka Hiratsuka had left on others was too deep, so that most people maintained the basic virtue of not talking while eating, and the meal was extremely dull.

Li Mo didn't care, but he was also thinking about his future plans and didn't take the initiative to initiate any conversation.

Especially the two little ones from Gokou Ruri's family didn't dare to say a word during the whole process. They just looked at the blue beast Hiratsuka Shizuka of Sobu High School like a little animal from time to time.

Perhaps Shizuka Hiratsuka herself noticed this, so she left directly after lunch, probably to go to the hot spring.

After she left, the atmosphere in the restaurant relaxed.

Everyone started discussing what to do next.

Although the main attraction of the hot spring hotel is the hot springs, it certainly cannot be the only hot springs. In fact, there is a large entertainment room on the first floor of the hotel near the parking lot, which contains a lot of fun things.

For example, there are second-hand arcade machines that were probably found from some bankrupt game halls, massage chairs that look quite high-end, a reading corner filled with comics and light novels with occasional serious literature, and the standard billiard table that all hot spring hotels have.

In addition, there are many odds and ends that make the members participating in this hot spring trip very excited.

However, while everyone was still there, Li Mo quietly gathered several people from the Ministry of Magic and found an empty room to hold a meeting.

After all, this training camp has a purpose to achieve. If we forget the original purpose just for fun, it would be a waste of our own money.
