Episode 023 It's Shangri-la Because You Can't Go There

"Come on Fuhito, you had the qualification of an explorer??"

After the welcome party, Aki came to me as I was about to return to my room, and I was asked with his arms on my shoulders.

Hey there. As I thought, he's picking a fight because of the chairman? Even so, the distance is too close.

I'm not very good with others getting into my personal space.

"No, that's ..."

"Hmm, ah, no way. I understand from that reaction."

It seems that Aki got some convenient understanding when I hesitated to reply. He's probably mistaken.

"But I didn't enter this school by recommendation as an explorer ..."

"Don't be so reserved. You don't have to worry about that."

No, I can't say it. I just didn't say it because I don't have a level, skill, or ability score. Usually you would say if you have the aptitude to be an explorer, but I can't say it because it's embarrassing.

"Even so, isn't it amazing to beat that Saotome-senpai?"

"Eh? That was just done by Saotome-senpai."

"I don't think that was the case."

"No, no, don't be so absurd!!"

Because he was moving so slowly, otherwise I wouldn't be able to win. It was helpful to have a very kind Senpai. If it was a Senpai who was picking on a junior, I would have been beaten to a pulp. I have to improve my skill level!!

I gave a guts pose lightly and got excited.

"I don't know what you're motivated to do, but no. Let's go to the bath."

"Is there a bath?"

I was sweating a little because I moved my body, so I definitely want to wash up.

"What is the turn order with the seniors?"

"The bath here is a free-flowing hot spring, and it's quite large, so it seems that there is plenty of room for dormitory students of all grades to enter at once, and there is no such thing as an order."

I thought it would be difficult to do that because there is a hierarchical relationship with our seniors in this kind of dormitory, but I wonder if they're trying to keep people from worrying about it by improving the facilities.

Anyway, it's a hot spring ... a hot spring??

"I like hot springs!! Let's go right away."

"O, ou."(TN:Signifies agreement)

We got ready for the bath and headed to the bathhouse.

"Oooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!"

The changing room has an atmosphere like an inn, and there are about 30 large lockers lined up. The wash basin could be used by four people at the same time, and a hair dryer was also installed. Apart from the changing room facilities, there are six state-of-the-art washing machines, so it seems that you don't have to do much laundry with your seniors.

"Wow!? You're amazing when you take it off!!"

"Is that so? I think this is normal."

When I take off my clothes and put them in a locker, Aki looks at my body from beside me. Aki himself was also moderately trained and his abdominal muscles were cracked.

"That's not the case. You're so tight, are you a boxer?"

"I like to train. Maybe that's why."

"How stoic."

"That's not true."

We continued our conversation while taking everything off, and when I took off the last piece.

"You ... that's absurd ... I lost ..."

"What!? What are you talking about!?"

When I followed Aki's line of sight, it was heading towards my lower body.

In other words, it seems that the size of my son was confirmed.

"Hey!? Stop it, it's normal!?"

I wrap a towel to hide it while arguing.

It would be embarrassing to be stared at!!

"That's not the case!! It's superhuman size!!"

"Uuh, noisy!! I'll go ahead!!"

Aki refuses to admit it, so I quickly open the bathroom door and step inside.

"Eeh!?"

It was a bathroom that was about the size of a super public bath.

"Hey, wait ... this is amazing."

Aki, who was chasing after me, also lost his voice.

"Oh, aren't they new students?"

"We also had a time like that. How nostalgic."

The seniors in the dormitory keep washing their bodies while watching our reaction and looking at us with warm eyes. For some reason, it was bubbling so much that they were full of bubbles all over their bodies.

Do you think you're a ridiculous beauty?

"Oh, this isn't the time to be surprised! Let's wash our bodies and enjoy it!"

"That's right!!"

We immediately sat down in a seat with a shower and a mirror, like our seniors, and began to wash our heads.

"Even so, it's almost a super public bath, this is."

"Really."

You can see various baths such as ordinary public baths, pot baths, lying baths, jacuzzis, hitase baths, foot baths, etc. There seems to be a room that looks like a sauna. How much money did this school actually spend?

"I want to soak my body slowly, so I'm going into the normal bath."

"I'm going to the open air bath!!"

When I tried to take a normal bath, he smiled with a meaningful smile.

"Are you thinking about something strange?"

"Hmm? Do you want to know?"

Aki crosses his arms with a wide grin on his face. My intuition whispers that this is a bad guy to get involved with.

"No ..."You want to hear it, okay, let me tell you!!""(TN:Overlapping voices)

Aki made a 'doya face' with a deep smile at my voice.(TN:Doya face = smug face, very common, just google it)

I tried to say that I didn't want to hear it?

"Isn't it okay? Actually, the boys and girls open air bath of this bathing facility are made next to each other. Of course, the outer wall is made too high so that it can not be seen from the outside, and the angle is calculated. But it's different from the inside. There is a gap in the wall with the girl's open air bath next door. You can look into the girl's bath from there, understand?"

I'm worried about the last intonation, and he just wants to make me an accomplice. This is a categorical refusal. Also, why do you know that ...

"No, I'll refrain from ..."

"Are you really a healthy high school boy? If there is a girl's secret garden there, you should peek!"

When I shook my head with a frustrated face, Aki pressed at me for some reason.

Because normally it's a crime.

"No, I won't look at it."

"Are you still a man with balls!! Hmm ... well, that's fine. I just have a good feeling and you'll regret it!!"

He spits out words like the parting threat of a small-fry and runs gallantly towards the open-air bath.

I am confident that I won't regret it!!

And a few seconds later.

"Hogeeeeeeeeee!!"

It must just be my imagination that I heard a scream that you wouldn't think could come from a human from the open-air bath.

"Namu."(TN:Praying sound, kind of like Amen.)

I put my back to the wall and put my hands together while soaking in the bathtub.
