Episode 153: Super VIP treatment

"We've finally arrived!! It's such a beautiful building!!"

"It was a bit long. Yes, it's beautiful."

"Hmm."

Nanami points to the spa building and asks for my consent, so I nod my head.

We left early so that we could recover from the daily fatigue as much as possible, but it still took us about two hours to get here. Going home is going to be very troublesome.

Still, it looks pretty stylish. There is an atmosphere that seems like celebrities are coming. I don't know if celebrities will come to this kind of place, so maybe people who want to taste that kind of atmosphere will come.

"This is the famous 'Spa Emotional', isn't it?"

"That's right. It's absurdly popular and there's a limit on admission."

"Come to think of it, doesn't this place close in the morning?"

"Huh!? Seriously!?"

I am surprised by the words in Amane and Rei's conversation that I can't miss. I thought they were doing well because they're quite famous. Nanami said she wanted to go, so I was sure they're open during the day as well.

"Yeah, I think they open just before noon and close sometime in the morning ..."(TN:I'm confused ... So they're open all afternoon and during the night or something?)

"Wait a minute. Let's hurry up and go!!"

I urge everyone to follow Amane's words.

"I, I understand."

"Hurry up."

"Hurry ~ !!"

"Hmm!!"

We rush into the building.

"Welcome ~ . Do you want to use it?"

"Yes, that's right, but until what time is this place open?"

"It's until eight o'clock."

"Wow. There's only a little while left to go. I should have checked it out more properly."

When I ask the clerk who called out to me about the closing time, it was shorter than expected.

I have no choice but to curse my shallowness for not investigating properly.

"What are you going to do?'

"Let me talk with the others."

After being asked by the clerk, I leave the reception to consult with everyone.

"What are we going to do? There's less than an hour left."

"Well, isn't it fine? We can enjoy a bath as it is. It's free."

"I want to soak in a hot spring too!"

"Yes, I think just soaking in a hot spring will make a difference."

"Hmm."

Starting with Amane, the others raise their voices in agreement.

It seems that everyone wants to enter. There is no reason not to enter.

"Excuse me, please let us use it."

"I understand. You need to purchase a ticket for this facility. Could you buy it from the dispenser over there?"

I return to the reception desk and tell the clerk that we would like to use it, and they tell me how to use it.

"This is an ESJ-related facility, right?"

"Yes, but ...?"

"Can I use this?"

After confirming whether this is an ESJ-related facility, I present the card I received at ESJ. Together with me, everyone presents their cards.

"Eeh!?"

The moment they see the card, the clerk's complexion changes, their eyes widen and they let out a surprised voice.

"P, p, p, p, p, please wait a moment!!"

And immediately, the clerk who received us runs off somewhere in a hurry.

"I'm very sorry to have kept you waiting. Could it be that Satou-sama and Katsuragi-sama are here?"

A woman in her mid-thirties, dressed in a tight suit, comes in front of us with the store clerk.

"Yes, it is."

"Hmm."

After our identity is confirmed by that woman, Shia and I nod our heads.

"Is that so!! Well, thank you very much for taking care of our facilities. My name is Sakakibara, and I am the director of this facility. The ones who will be using the facilities today are the five of you here?"

"Yes. That's right."

When she realizes that we are the people themselves, Sakakibara lowers her head with a genuinely happy smile and asks us for confirmation. I nod at her words.

"I understand. The building was scheduled to close soon, but Satou-sama, please don't worry about the closing time and relax as you please."

"Huh!? No, no, that's not right, no way."

"No, no, we can't repay the kindness we received at this level. By all means, would you please give us a chance to return your kindness?"

Sakakibara-san suddenly suggests that we ignore the closing time, I hurriedly wave my hand in front of my body and try to decline, but she says that with a very sad expression.

Don't give me such an expression that makes it hard to refuse. If you say such a thing, I can't refuse either. She probably knows what I'm saying, and maybe she's telling me not to worry about it.

Just the opposite, I feel obliged!!

"I, I understand. We will enjoy it to the fullest."

I nod with my best smile even though I am a little flustered.

"Speaking of which, have you made plans to stay?"

"What does everyone want to do?"

When I am asked about accommodation, I didn't decide if it was a day trip or an overnight stay, so I ask everyone.

"Agreed!!"

"I want to take it easy too!!"

"It's okay to take a break, so why not?"

"Hmm."

Everyone seems to want to relax and stay here.

"In that case, there is a hotel attached to this building, so I will reserve a room for you. I will make it so that you can show your card to the front desk."

"I understand. I'll be in your care."

Sakakibara-san, who is watching our exchange, says that she will arrange it, so I decide to leave it to her.

"Well, I think it's the first time you've used our facility, so we'll explain how to use it. Shiraishi here will do the explanation, so if you have any questions, please let me know."

"Understood. Thank you for everything."

It seems that they will even explain how to use it. They would never do this to a normal customer. We are still underage, and Nanami is in Middle School. I would be grateful if they could explain it from scratch.

Thinking such, I bow to Sakakibara-san.

"No, no, this kind of thing is far from the kindness we received from Satou-sama and Alexia-sama. Please enjoy 'Spa Emotional' as you please."

"Yes, thank you very much."

After that, Shiraishi-san took us to an explanation of how to use the facility and places where gender restrictions were applied.

"O, o, o, over there, th, th, the men's changing ... room."

Shiraishi-san, who was trembling from beginning to end and was a little nervous, guided us all the way to the end.

It's true that we have VIP membership cards, but we're Middle and High School students before anything else. I don't think you need to be so nervous, but the power of this card may be greater than expected.

We finally get to enjoy 'Spa Emotional'.
