Chapter 1724: Chiba Trip 4 (1/2)

”It has been a while Senka-nee,” Haru said and didn't expect that he would meet the big sister that he often teased during his childhood time, but he had to admit that even though she was a lot older, than before, she still maintained her beauty.

”It has been a while, Haru-kun.” Senka smiled and looked at him from up and bottom, then blushed. In truth, she had kept his photo when he was only wearing a swimsuit, and if possible, she wanted to see whether his size was true or not. ”Why are you here? Are you here with your family? Where's your father, mother, and Sora? Are they outside?” She was very excited at that moment, but...

”Um... they're not coming with me, Senka-nee,” Haru said with a bitter smile. ”You might not know, but father and mother have passed away.”

”...” Senka couldn't close her mouth before her expression became complex, and lowered her head. ”I'm sorry, Haru-kun.”

”It's alright, it has been a while after all, and I have come here to relax. You don't need to worry too much,” Haru said with a smile.

”I see.” Senka nodded with a smile and said, ”Are you going to stay in the inn?”

”Yes.” Haru nodded and said, ”My house's state is a bit...”

”Ah...” Senka nodded since she also had seen Haru's house that was damaged because of the tree.

”I haven't made an appointment, is there a free room here?” Haru asked.

”Yes, there is, you don't need to worry, but... us?” Senka then noticed Maki, who held Haru's hand at that moment and became dumbfounded.

”Hello, my name is Nishikino Maki. I'm his fiancee,” Maki said and gave Senka a nod since she knew that Senka had taken care of Haru during his childhood time. Still, she needed to watch her out, or else something might bloom between Haru and Senka. It was also the reason why she introduced herself as his fiancee.

”Fi - Fiancee?!” Senka was dumbfounded then looked at Haru, wondering whether what Maki had told her was the truth or not.

Haru nodded with a smile and said, ”Once she graduates, we will get married.”

”.......” Senka couldn't close her mouth for a while, but then there was bitterness and sadness in her heart. ”I see, then congratulations. By the way, I'll prepare a room for the two of you.”

”No, it is alright if you just prepare one room for us,” Haru said without hesitation.

Maki's face was red, and she hit his arm in shame.

”...Then I'll prepare one room for both of you.” Senka nodded with a professional smile, but the corner of her mouth twitched and knew that Haru, that cute and handsome boy had become a scumbag. Still, she looked at Maki with an envious gaze. After all, Haru, without hesitation, was going to take Maki's responsibility and marry her directly, unlike her, who didn't have anyone to marry.

Haru could see Senka's change of emotion, but he shouldn't do anything in this situation, after all, even though Senka had given him a lot of precious memories in his childhood time. At this moment, in this place, the most important girl in his heart was Maki. He decided to put everything from focus, heart, and care to Maki. After all, even though he was a scumbag, he would do everything to make his girls feel happy.

”Please follow me. I'll guide you to your room,” Senka said and was about to carry their luggage, but...

”I'll carry it myself, Senka-nee. You don't need to worry too much,” Haru said.

”No, it's my job. I'll handle it,” Senka said without hesitation.

”Senka-nee, I'm a man, and you're a woman. I won't let you carry heavy luggage, and here, I'm just watching you carry it. If so, what kind of man do you think I am?” Haru asked with a frown.

Senka snorted and said, ”You're underestimating me too much! My strength is outstanding! I have brought a lot of heavy things in the past!”

”Senka-nee, I want to do this, please,” Haru said while staring at Senka.

”....” Senka blinked her eyes, blushed, turned her head, and didn't dare look at him.

”.....” Maki.

”By the way, which room do you want to rent?” Senka asked.

”Is there a room with an indoor bath?” Haru asked.

Senka shook her head and said, ”No, our inn isn't like a luxurious inn, after all, and for the bath, there might be one with a shower and an indoor toilet, but for something as big as a hot spring pool, there is only a public one, of course, there is only both male and female public bathroom, there isn't a mixed bath here.” She looked at them and asked, ”Are you pretty disappointed?”

”No, it is alright.” Haru shook his head.

”Well, I'll prepare the best for you, but it is pretty expensive, is that alright?” Senka asked.

”It's alright.” Haru nodded without hesitation. Even Maki was also the same. After all, neither of them lacked money.

”Well, that's true.” Senka nodded.

”We want a quiet trip, so don't tell anyone that we're here, alright, Senka-nee?” Haru asked.

”You don't need to worry. My lips are very tight,” Senka said confidently.
