I'm in Teresin, dedicated to playing badly

After all, he had indeed been busy with a lot for Tsuna during this period, so being overly polite and refusing would not be appropriate.

After agreeing, she went out with Junkawa Tesuna, and they talked about some things related to her body care as they walked.

Then, as they chatted, when Kitahara Shinji came to his senses, he suddenly realized that it was already dark, but the two of them still hadn't reached their destination.

"Miss Junchuan, are we lost?"

"......No."

Upon hearing Kitahara Shinji's question, Surugawa Tesuna paused slightly.

"I drove here myself before, so I didn't realize how far it was, but my car happened to be in the repair shop today, and I didn't expect this situation. I'm so sorry..."

"That doesn't matter."

Shinji Kitahara did not doubt Tsuna's words and smiled as he spoke.

"But I'm a bit hungry after walking for so long, so I'll probably have to order more food later. Don't worry about it."

Upon hearing Kitahara Shinji's reply, Surugawa Tesuna smiled.

"Of course, as long as Trainer Kitahara likes it."

After saying that, the two continued on their way.

Shinji Kitahara didn't mind the trouble. After all, he had been sitting all afternoon, and being able to stand and move around a bit more would actually make him feel more relaxed.

As they walked, just before entering the restaurant that Tsuna had mentioned, Shinji Kitahara suddenly had a question in his mind.

Strange, didn't he just take her car to be serviced a few days ago? How come it's been sent back so soon...?

It's probably because something was overlooked during the last inspection, or maybe something has just happened recently, so it was sent for repair.

With that in mind, Shinji Kitahara didn't dwell on the issue too much, and then he and Tsuna Suguru walked into the restaurant she had recommended.

There's not much to say about what happened at the restaurant; it was just a very ordinary meal.

And while eating, they chatted about work and matters related to Junkawa Tessuna's body care, just like any other gathering of friends.

The only thing worth mentioning is that the food here is really good; neither Shinji Kitahara nor Tsuna Sugawa could find fault with it.

—Of course, except for the price.

The accident happened just as the dinner was about to end.

After having a full meal, Shinji Kitahara thought he would chat with Tsuna Sugukawa for a while longer before heading back.

But in just a short while, accompanied by a few claps of thunder, the sound of rain outside gradually changed from a hazy murmur to a roar within a few minutes.

Thunderstorms?

Shinji Kitahara glanced out the window and discussed it with Tsuna Suguru. Since neither of them had brought an umbrella, they decided to wait until the rain stopped, or at least until it was lighter, before going back.

"I wish I had driven here."

Shinji Kitahara sighed.

Junkawa Tessuna's eyes flickered a few times before he calmly changed the subject.

Then, some time passed.

Shinji Kitahara thought that since the rain came so quickly, it should go away quickly as well.

But after waiting for a long time, the heavy rain not only showed no signs of abating, but even became more intense.

If we delay any longer, it will get a little too late...

Shinji Kitahara glanced at the time and thought to himself that he might as well go to the nearby convenience store in the rain to buy two umbrellas and then try to squeeze onto the train to go home.

If this drags on any longer, the optimal time for treatment of Surugawa Tesuna might be missed...

With that in mind, Shinji Kitahara immediately told Tsuna Suguru about his plans.

Surugawa Tezuna disagreed with his idea, saying that they should wait until the rain stopped before going back.

"Trainer Kitahara, do you have something to do tonight?"

"No, there isn't, but skincare is time-sensitive. Applying it too early or too late might be much less effective than the normal approach..."

"It's okay with me."

Surugawa Tessuna smiled gently.

“I’ve already troubled you a lot lately, Trainer Kitahara, and I can clearly feel that my body is much lighter than before. It’s just for a little while, it’s nothing.”

After a pause, she added.

"Besides, with such heavy rain and the weather getting rather cold, if you, Trainer Kitahara, were to fall ill because of this, the consequences might be more serious than waiting for a little while, right?"

Shinji Kitahara thought about it and realized that what she said made sense, so he didn't insist on his own idea. He sat there and continued to chat with her, planning to wait until the rain subsided before going out.

But after a while, before Yu Xiao could arrive, a new message popped up on his phone.

The trams in this area have stopped running.

It's not just because of the rain, but also because the tram stop nearby is currently undergoing renovations.

Although it can still operate under normal circumstances, it is normal and foreseeable to shut down due to safety considerations in the face of such heavy rain.

Shinji Kitahara was unaware of this; he hadn't even checked the weather forecast before arriving and was unaware that it indicated there would be heavy rain that evening.

But he knew that if the tram stopped running, it wouldn't be so easy for him and Tsuna to go back.

On the one hand, the weather is not suitable for taking a taxi, and on the other hand, although the place is not remote, there are not many vehicles coming and going.

Most people travel by tram, and there are very few taxis to begin with. With this terrible weather, it's practically impossible to hail a taxi.

This is a bit tricky...

Just as Shinji Kitahara was frowning and pondering what to do next, another piece of bad news came in.

"Is there anything else you two guests need? If not, we're about to close for the day..."

Upon hearing this, Shinji Kitahara looked up, glanced around the store, and realized that there were indeed only the two of them left.

Although the shop was about to close, the other party did not immediately kick them out. Moreover, after noticing that they seemed to be without umbrellas, they took two out of the shop and gave them to them.

Logically speaking, Shinji Kitahara should be happy to receive an umbrella.

The problem is that the trams have stopped running, and there are already few taxis around. It's getting late, and with the heavy rain, it's practically impossible to hail a taxi.

In this situation, even if you have an umbrella, they still can't go back.

Or, should we ask someone to come and pick it up for us?

With that in mind, Shinji Kitahara took out his phone and contacted a few of the trainers he usually got along with and who had cars and driver's licenses.

What's strange is that, when he first mentioned it, they all basically agreed immediately to come and pick him up.

But after he said he was with Tsuna, and gave his location.

Suddenly, some of the trainers had something to do, others were taken away by their supervisors, and in an instant, no one could come over.

It's just weird.

Shinji Kitahara rubbed his chin, then complained to Tsuna Sugikawa about the strange situation, and asked her to see if she could contact anyone to come over.

Faced with Shinji Kitahara's complaints, Tsuna Suguru just smiled, then took out her phone and pretended to contact a few friends she knew were currently tied up. After being rejected, she said that she couldn't do anything about it either.

Seeing this situation, and with the lights in the store starting to go out.

Shinji Kitahara sighed and reluctantly made a decision.

"Let's see if there are any hotels or inns nearby. If not, we'll probably have to make do with staying out for the night."

Junkawa Tezuna nodded, and then together with Kitahara Shinji, they turned on their phones and started searching for nearby places to stay.

Then, both good news and bad news appeared before Shinji Kitahara at the same time.

The good news is that there is a hotel nearby that offers accommodation. It is not only very close and highly rated, but it is also the only one in the area.

The bad news is that it was a couples' hotel.

The moment he saw the love hotel, Shinji Kitahara's expression became subtle.

But no matter how delicate the situation may be, this is his only option at the moment.

Fortunately, Tsuna wasn't the type of girl who cared too much. After hearing his explanation, she calmly accepted his suggestion.

She's truly a mature woman; she's not even in the same league as those little girls...

Shinji Kitahara sighed inwardly, then opened his umbrella and went to the hotel with Tsuna Suguru.

But upon arrival, before he could even catch his breath, even worse news appeared before him.

"You two have arrived at just the right time."

The receptionist smiled as she looked at the two people who were approaching with umbrellas.

"We happen to have only one double room left here."

Chapter 180: Why am I having such bad luck today?

Why am I having such bad luck today...?

Shinji Kitahara received the room key, supposedly for the only remaining room, from the waiter who wore a strange smile. His face was filled with helplessness.

To be fair, if Kitahara Shinji were given another chance, he would most likely still not refuse Surugawa Tetsuya's invitation.

But at least he would check the weather forecast before going out and make the necessary preparations, so he wouldn't end up in such an embarrassing situation.

But thinking about these things now is useless, since he has no other choice.

Putting away the room key, Kitahara Shinji glanced at Surugawa Tesuna and breathed a slight sigh of relief when he found that she seemed to be doing nothing particularly wrong and was still smiling gently.

She's definitely a reliable and mature woman. If it were my own bunch of young girls in this situation, I wonder how they would react. Just thinking about it makes me feel so awkward...

After relaxing a bit, Shinji Kitahara didn't linger any longer and quickly took Tsuna Sugawa to their room.

Swipe your card, enter the room, and then scan the surrounding environment with your eyes.

As Shinji Kitahara had expected, there were no separate beds in the double room of this couples' hotel; instead, there was just one large, soft bed that looked like it could accommodate three or four people.

And it's not just the bed.

The dim, slightly pinkish-purple lighting, the faint, exotic fragrance in the air, the thoughtful details in some inconspicuous corners, the order booklet for some unusual items on the coffee table, and the stack of brand-new, unopened sun umbrellas (also known as carrot covers) thoughtfully placed on the bedside table...

Before checking in, Shinji Kitahara had some doubts. He thought to himself that it was clearly a double room, and even if it was a couples' hotel, it was still a bit too expensive.

But now it seems that the atmosphere here is indeed well done. If Kitahara Shinji really came here on business, then the money spent can definitely be said to be worthwhile.

But the problem is he isn't.

So, instead of being aroused by the environment, quite the opposite, the better the environment, the more he felt he had wasted his money...

"You go take a shower first."

But despite feeling sorry for them, the things that need to be done still need to be done.

Although both of them had umbrellas when they arrived, it wasn't possible to completely avoid the heavy rain just by using an umbrella.

Especially when we were going around a bend, there was a small puddle, and since Tsuna was wearing high heels, she almost fell into the puddle if Shinji Kitahara hadn't caught her in time.

Even though he was helped up, a lot of rainwater still fell on Junchuan's hands and body when he lost his balance.

Although not completely soaked, her body was damp, and her clothes clung tightly to her skin, outlining a pleasing silhouette.

Especially after entering this room, under the influence of the dim lighting and the alluring fragrance.

Even without any movement from Tsuna, she possesses a captivating charm simply by standing there.

Unfortunately, Shinji Kitahara paid no attention to this point.

Seeing Tsuna's appearance, he didn't have any unpleasant thoughts.

Instead, I was worried that she might catch a cold and that it might affect the subsequent care, so I just told her to take a shower.

Seeing that the first wave of attacks was ineffective, Surugawa Tessuna felt somewhat regretful.

But there was nothing else to do. After Shinji Kitahara spoke, he went into the bathroom, and then the sound of running water could be heard.

After Tsuna entered the bathroom, Shinji Kitahara thought for a moment, then sat down on the sofa and picked up the booklet for ordering strange gadgets.

Don't get me wrong, it's not that he wants to do anything to Surugawa Tesuna, it's just that he still wants to help Surugawa Tesuna take care of her, but he doesn't have anything on hand.

So he wanted to see if there was anything he could use on it, and if so, he would order some to make do.
