The setting sun gradually sank into the seabed, and the dim night fell.
Under the starry sky, Makoto Sakaki and Miss Miyano were soaking in the warm hot soup, with hot towels on their heads and bare shoulders, like two rabbits that had just crawled out of a hole.
Bathing is a profound art, especially in Japan, where bathing is considered a necessity of life and people have even developed their own set of methods.
The most important thing is the wet towels they wear on their heads.
If you are taking a bath in an indoor bath, before entering the water, you need to soak a towel in cold water and then spread it evenly on top of your head, like the eggs in a pancake.
The purpose of this step is to prevent the body from being affected by water pressure, blood rushing to the head, and causing sudden "cerebral hemorrhage".
Humans are very tough yet fragile creatures, and sometimes an unintentional action can lead to irreversible consequences.
Similarly, when taking a bath in an open-air bath, you need to put a hot towel on your head to help your body achieve a state of internal and external balance.
"It's so cozy..."
Sakaki Makoto let out a sigh of relief.
"Yes."
Miss Miyano moved her butt and got closer to him:
“It would be nice if it could be like this every day.”
"That day won't be too far away."
With his hands behind his head, Sakaki Makoto leaned against the edge of the bathtub, quietly looking at the night sky, and suddenly remembered something:
"What time is it now?"
"I don't know. We don't allow electronic devices to be brought into the bathhouse."
Miss Miyano shook her head.
"never mind."
Ignoring other troubles, Makoto Sakaki decided to enjoy the present moment.
However...
At this moment, footsteps suddenly sounded outside the bathhouse.
The two looked at each other, and after a brief silence...
Sakaki Makoto got up and rushed to the men's bath.
You have to rush...
If someone saw him taking a bath with Miss Miyano, he would be so embarrassed.
Although he is thick-skinned, it doesn't mean he is shameless!
The moment he rushed into the men's bath, he pressed the red button on the wall, and the wooden door separating the bath started to close inward again.
Sakaki Makoto nodded to Miss Miyano, feeling a little regretful.
The moment the isolation door closed, the sliding door of the bathhouse opened.
"Mr. Sakaki Makoto?"
Suzuki Shiro's secretary, Masato Nishino, looked at him in surprise:
"You're here to take a bath so early?"
He is President Suzuki's secretary, to put it bluntly, he is just an employee.
Workers must be on standby at all times and await instructions.
He took advantage of the time when Shiro Suzuki and his friends were having dinner to take a bath, and the timing was just right.
"Ah... ah yes!"
Sakaki Makoto nodded quickly:
"It's a little hot today and I'm sweating, so I plan to take a shower before eating."
"Okay, go to the bar, I'm going back to my room."
After saying that, he walked out the door.
"Mr. Sakaki, it's already dinner time. You can go to the restaurant to eat now."
Masato Nishino shouted from behind.
"knew."
Waving his hand without even turning his head, Sakaki Makoto closed the sliding door of the bathroom, walked to the locker and entered the password.
After changing his clothes, he walked out of the bathhouse and found Miss Miyano standing at the door, wearing a new mask.
"Let's go."
Sakaki Makoto said to her:
"Let's go eat."
"Go eat, I'm not hungry."
Miss Miyano shook her head, touched her flat belly, and frowned:
"I've been eating too much recently and I seem to have gained some weight."
"You can't skip dinner..."
Pulling her little hand, Sakaki Makoto said seriously:
"Dinner is very important to the body. If you skip dinner for a long time, it will affect gastrointestinal function, damage the gastric mucosa, and harm the digestive system."
"Dieting can indeed help you lose weight in the short term, but it will also reduce your body's basal metabolism, which can reduce energy loss and make you more susceptible to obesity."
"Besides...I think you're fine now. There's no need to lose weight."
After thinking about it with her head tilted, Miss Miyano agreed to Sakaki Makoto's proposal:
"Have some salad then."
The elevator door opened and Hanchuan Long walked out holding a camera.
He glanced at Sakaki Makoto and the other man, nodded slightly, and walked into the bath.
"What a strange man."
Miss Miyano muttered.
...............................
When the two arrived at the restaurant, it was already 7:15 in the evening.
I was so lost in time while soaking in the hot spring that I could only blame it on the wrong time.
The huge restaurant was filled with square tables covered with long white cloths, where Mao Lilan and others were gathering together to enjoy dinner.
Seeing Sakaki Makoto and the other two coming, they also extended an invitation:
"Mr. Sakaki Makoto, this way!"
Sakaki Makoto took Miss Miyano over and sat down. He looked around and asked curiously:
"Where are Siruov and the others?"
Before they came, there were only Kogoro Mori's family, Shiro Suzuki and his daughter, Natsumi Kosaka, and a few waiters in the restaurant...
There is no one else.
"Oh, they all said they weren't hungry, so we can just have a midnight snack in the evening."
Conan was holding a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice, holding a straw in his mouth, with his cheeks puffed up, like a frog lying on a lotus leaf.
He looked at Sakaki Makoto and Miss Miyano, and found that their hair was wet and had not been blown dry yet, so he asked:
"Did you just take a shower?"
"Um."
"Together?"
"Don't ask so many questions, kid!"
Tapping Conan's head, Sakaki was surprised to find...
