Chapter 110 The Rope in the Water, Ms. Saori's Empty-Headed Mind (3000 words)
Saori Hayami is not the slender type.
Their little hands are chubby and feel as white and bouncy as tofu when held in the hand, making you want to play with them.
At this moment, Junichi was single-minded, leading the other slowly towards the center of the hot spring. The water in the hot spring rippled with their movement, and even though they were some distance apart, they could feel waves crashing against their chests.
However, ripples gradually spread across the neck and shoulders.
Saori Hayami was clearly still a little nervous, her eyes were half-closed, and the arm that was gripping Junichi Sei was trembling slightly.
"Haven't we arrived yet?"
"That's fine."
Upon hearing this, Saori Hayami breathed a sigh of relief and opened her eyes wide.
However, upon realizing that she was truly and utterly alone in the middle of the hot spring, she couldn't help but lean towards Junichi's side, gripping his arm tightly with both hands.
Now, all she can rely on is Junichi.
Mmm, it's very soft!
"Are you nervous?"
"A little."
"It's always like this the first time."
"..."
"puff!"
Junichi suddenly laughed.
"What's wrong?"
"I never expected that the usually strict Hayami-sensei would have such a girlish side. I wonder what kind of expressions the other students would have if they knew."
Junichi Sei said with a hint of teasing.
"That's not how it works at all!"
Saori Hayami couldn't help but playfully push the other person away, but the moment she touched his firm chest, she reflexively pulled back, her eyes showing a hint of panic.
What's wrong with me?
She actually acted like a child with her own students?
Sensing something was wrong, Saori Hayami suddenly realized that the boy in front of her was no longer the introverted child she used to be, but a woman with the same mature male body.
His body was so strong, and there too...
Wait, why am I thinking about that again?
Saori, you're their teacher, you need to calm down!
Whether it was the temperature of the hot spring or something else, Saori Hayami's cheeks became increasingly rosy.
Junichi was also stirred by her girlish demeanor, but he remained proper and took a deep breath, saying, "Well then, shall we begin?"
To hide her embarrassment, Saori Hayami habitually brushed her bangs aside and said shyly, "Then you must hold on tight to me."
Junichi smiled at this and didn't say much.
He was already quite adept at this kind of thing ever since his interaction with Kaori Ogasawara on the beach. He gently pulled her forward, causing her lower body to float off the water.
However, Saori Hayami was too nervous. As soon as she felt her body float up, she started kicking her legs frantically, making the entire hot spring look like it was being fried like a fish. This attracted Chizuru Goryuin, who was enjoying a massage from the masseuse, to look at her frequently and then let out a giggle.
Saori Hayami was very sensitive about her appearance, and she was immediately frustrated. In order not to make her best friend laugh at her, she hurriedly tried to stand up.
However, without giving any warning to Seijun, and due to excessive force, her toes slipped as soon as they touched the bottom of the hot spring.
In his haste and confusion, he grabbed something haphazardly, which immediately drew everyone's attention.
"ah--"
Junichi felt a chill on his buttocks, followed by several screams. By the time he came to his senses, his swim trunks were already...
Thump!
Without a second thought, Sei Junichi sat down in the pool, his entire face turning bright red.
"I...I'm sorry!"
Saori Hayami was in no better shape than him; she managed to stand up, but her face was so red it looked like it could bleed.
If I only caught a fleeting glimpse of it when I was on the shore, this time... I will never forget it.
"I... I'll go upstairs and rest for a while."
At this moment, Saori Hayami had no face to stay. She hurriedly waded through the water and walked towards the edge, but that shocking scene kept echoing in her mind and could not be shaken off.
As a result, even their pace quickened considerably.
"Ah~"
"thump!"
The more anxious she became, the greater the water resistance became. In her haste, her front and back heels became tangled, and she plunged headfirst into the hot spring.
"Saori!"
Chizuru Miyuuin, who had been keeping an eye on the other party since the beginning, couldn't sit still any longer. Just as she was about to push away the female masseuse's hand, she noticed a burst of waves splashing up quickly in the hot spring.
Upon closer inspection, Junichi Sei had already darted in front of the other person and pulled them into a tight embrace.
"Help...help me!"
Saori Hayami clearly hadn't realized she had been rescued yet, and frantically grabbed at everything until she pulled on a rope, which gradually helped her regain her balance.
At the same time, another person's heartbeat also connected with her as the water gradually calmed down, transmitted through the rippling waves.
"Hiss~ Saori-nee, it's me, don't be afraid!"
Junichi's expression was somewhat distorted, but he still suppressed his discomfort and reminded the other person in a slightly trembling voice.
Hearing the other person's strong heartbeat and feeling their broad arms, Saori Hayami gradually calmed down, choked on several mouthfuls of water, and finally stopped struggling.
"Cough, cough! Jun... Junichi-kun?"
As the splash subsided, the other person's handsome face cleared up, and Saori Hayami coughed a few times before letting out a sigh of relief.
"Hmm... Hiss~ Saori-nee, could you let go first?"
Junichi's face began to turn pale.
"Let go?" Saori Hayami looked down, her pupils suddenly contracted, and she sprang up from the hot spring like a spring: "Ah—"
One minute later, Saori Hayami finally returned safely to the edge of the hot spring.
However, he was in a daze, and his heart was beating so fast that it felt like it might jump out of his chest at any moment.
"What's wrong, Saori? Were you scared?"
Chizuru Miyuuin, who was usually indifferent to outsiders, had come to the other person's side and was gently patting the other person's back to comfort them.
However, at this moment, Saori Hayami was not listening to anything.
All I can think about is rope, rope, rope!
Saori Hayami was so embarrassed she was practically bubbling with embarrassment, completely at a loss for how to face her student.
I'm so embarrassed!
The more silent Saori Hayami remained, the more irritated Chizuru Goryuin became. She glared coldly at Junichi Se, who had already adjusted his clothes, her gaze almost murderous: "If anything happens to Saori, I will absolutely not let you off the hook!"
[Ding! Chizuru Goryuin's dislike level has increased by 10!]
This idiot! He was supposed to seduce his arrogant stepdaughter, but what is he doing now?
They're utterly incompetent and more likely to cause trouble than anything else!
Junichi Sei had no choice but to suffer in silence and could only manage a bitter smile.
Fortunately, Saori Hayami wasn't completely lost in thought. Upon hearing that her student had been threatened, she instantly snapped back to attention and glared at her best friend with displeasure: "What nonsense are you spouting? What's with all this talk about letting things go? I was just too careless. It has nothing to do with Junichi-kun. Apologize to Junichi-kun right now!"
"This, actually, is not..."
Junichi was a little embarrassed and wanted to refuse.
"sorry."
But to his surprise, Chizuru Oiryuuin apologized even faster than he had, almost without the slightest hesitation.
Upon seeing this, not only was Sei Junichi surprised, but even Utatane Nagi, who was standing nearby, and Miyuuin Izumi, who was sitting far away watching the show, all showed expressions of astonishment.
The relationship and personalities of these two seem completely reversed.
Junichi Sei, in particular, couldn't understand how a proud woman like Chizuru Miyuuin could become so docile in front of the gentle and weak Saori Hayami.
Moreover, because of the other party, a rare critical hit occurred!
There's a story behind it!
There must be a story behind this!
Seeing this scene before him, Junichi Se became even more determined to find an opportunity to have a proper and in-depth conversation with his teacher.
On the other hand, Chizuru Goryuin didn't care about the others' gazes at all. Since she had already apologized, she said to Saori Hayami with an unquestionable expression, "You'd better not go to the large public bath. Just stay in the small public bath with me."
"Are you willing to go into the bath?" Saori Hayami was a little surprised, after all, she knew very well that her best friend had a strong aversion to cleanliness, and should be very reluctant to go to public places like this.
So from the very beginning, she believed that the other party's motives were somewhat impure.
Despite clearly disliking such public places, they still chose a location where mixed bathing was unavoidable.
She wouldn't have wanted to come if she hadn't said she wanted to play matchmaker for the two younger generations.
"Never mind, I've already washed, I'll just rinse it off later."
But after thinking it over, Saori Hayami gave up the idea of continuing to take a bath.
After what just happened, she didn't know how to face her students for a while, and she didn't want to put her best friend in a difficult position by forcing her into the bath.
"Okay, I'll shower with you in a bit." Chizuru's eyes brightened slightly.
"You didn't go into the bath, so what are you going to wash for?" Saori Hayami asked, somewhat puzzled.
"It's so hot in here, I'm sweating a lot," Chizuru Miyuu explained simply.
"Alright then, shall we go now?"
"It's still early. How about I call a masseuse for you? The massage techniques here are famous far and wide."
Chizuru Goryuin was somewhat tempted, but when her gaze fell on two certain people, she temporarily abandoned the idea.
"Really? Then order one for me too!"
Saori Hayami nodded.
Standing on the podium for long periods of time, and having to look up at the blackboard to write and draw from time to time, can indeed cause some strain.
After saying that, Saori Hayami seemed to remember Junichi Se, and said with her eyes slightly lowered, "I'm sorry, Junichi-kun, I'm sorry for keeping you in this for a while. I'll go over there and rest with Chizuru for a bit."
Junichi knew this would be a little awkward, so he forced a smile.
Saori Hayami didn't even bother to look at the other person's expression. As if her bottom was on fire, she got up and hurriedly left.
"ah!"
But he hadn't run far when he twisted his ankle and almost fell to the ground.
Fortunately, Chizuru Goryuin was there to support her.
"When are you going to change your impulsive personality?"
Chizuru Miyuuin was somewhat disappointed in her son.
"You used to wear your underwear inside out all the time!" Saori Hayami retorted, clearly annoyed.
"shut up!"
