468 Size Matters

　　The sound insulation is very poor, how embarrassing would it be if men accidentally heard the sound of them taking a shower?

　　Luckily, they didn't come in while the girls were fighting with each other, otherwise, the screams and chatter at that time would have been heard...

　　Some people are so shy that they sink into the water.

　　Even the quietest Chika seemed to understand the seriousness of this problem. She stared curiously at the wall separating the men's and women's baths.

　　At this time, men's chatter was also heard.

　　Shirogane: "Wow, this really is a hot spring..."

　　Kaguya shrunk, when she thought of the two of them, only separated by a wall, but both naked, her heart beat even more.

　　Ishigami: "The difference from the street baths lies in the hot springs."

　　Iino looked very calm, but she continued to stare at the water, listening attentively to their conversation.

　　Shinichi: "It is rich in minerals and can exfoliate dead skin, beautify the skin, relax muscles and activate blood circulation... It seems nothing special."

　　 Chika heard his voice, her eyes lit up, she raised her hands and opened her mouth to scream.

　　At this moment, Kei and Rui rushed over, one covering her mouth, the other grabbing her breasts, and managed to gag her without so much as a splash.

　　Regarding why she was holding her breasts, Rui said it was all Hina's fault, because she was used to holding her breasts wherever they were.

　　The men didn't stop talking, which meant they didn't realize that the sound isolation here was so bad. This made all the girls stay quiet, and continue eavesdropping.

　　Shirogane: "By the way, Asada and Ishigami, this is a rare opportunity. Let's compete with each other to see who can soak longer?"

　　Ishigami: "Oh? The President looks very confident."

　　Shirogane: "Huh, I was a child who grew up in a bath! Kei-chan immediately threw out the water after bathing and refused to let us continue using it, so there was often no hot water at home, so dad and I could only go to the nearest bathhouse to take a bath, and so that money would not be wasted, I would take a bath until I feel dizzy and can no longer shower before going home!"

　　Shinichi: "Is this something you should be proud of? I almost feel sorry for you…"

　　Kei blushed, punched the rocks in the hot spring, and whispered through gritted teeth.

　　"That idiot Nii-san… I'll have to teach him a lesson when I get back!"

　　Shinichi: "Hmm? What sound is that?"

　　Kei quickly covered her mouth and showed an apologetic expression at the panicked looks from the other girls.

　　Shirogane: "Did you hear that right? We're the only ones here. Don't worry, come and take a shower."

　　Everyone heaved another sigh of relief, and the men then began to wash their bodies before showering.

　　Who knows why, but just listening to the sound of them bathing in silence, several girls' faces turned red, twisted their bodies restlessly, and their breathing began to speed up.

　　 Chika realized the seriousness of this problem. She buried half her face in the water and blew bubbles. She stared at the wall with embarrassment and curiosity.

　　A few moments later, the sound of gurgling water gradually disappeared, and they seemed to get up from their chairs and prepare to step into the hot spring pool.

　　This time, Ishigami screamed in disbelief and embarrassment.

　　"President, why aren't you wearing a towel? I can see everything down there!"

　　(Under?!)

　　Kaguya's eyes immediately widened, and a blush spread from her neck to her ears. Her body swayed, and she panted while holding on to the rocks.

　　"Are you a girl…" Shirogane sighed helplessly, "Whether it's a hot spring or a bath, it makes sense not to bring a towel when entering the water. That's right, isn't it, Asada?"

　　"Correct. Ishigami's reaction was too much... Wait a minute, the president's capital is quite good," Shinichi said in surprise.

　　(Quite good?!)

　　 Kaguya hit the rocks and slowly sank into the water.

　　"Don't stare like that. Even though we were both men, I would still feel embarrassed if I was seen like this…"

　　Shinichi joked: "This is something to be proud of. It seems that your future wife will be very happy... I'm not referring to anyone in particular."

　　Shirogane was speechless: "I advise you to keep your mouth shut. Be careful that she hears it again."

"Don't worry, this is the men's bath, a secret base for men. You can say whatever you want. What if I say she's flatter than my little sister? President, don't mind," Shinichi said casually, his voice suddenly trembling, "Why do I feel a little cold... It's better to get into the hot springs to warm up."

　　In the women's bath, Rui watched Kaguya, and the hot spring seemed to have cooled down a few degrees. She made the sign of the cross for her cousin.

　　This was his own suicide, there was no one else to blame.

　　Ishigami's hesitant voice sounded: "Okay, then I will take it off too..."

　　"Um, Ishigami, your overall figure is quite good. Even though you haven't increased in size, your muscles are more symmetrical and stronger." Shinichi commented eloquently. It seemed like he felt very comfortable soaking in a hot spring with a man.

　　"Speaking of which, I thought you were a bastard, but I didn't expect that."

　　"You O-Gan, you bastard! Who says virginity has to be O-Gan, but not the president!"

　　"Why do you have to involve me?"

　　 Chika quickly supported Iino, whose cheeks were flushed and sinking into the hot spring pool, and called her name while fanning her.

　　 Moeha is saving Kaguya who faints again.

　　"What about you, Asada? Why don't you quickly take the towel and let me take a good look!" Ishigami shouted unconvinced, "Don't let you be the only one who comments on people as if you're great!"

　　"Even if you say so…" Shinichi's tone was a little complicated, and he seemed a little humble in his doubts, "I'm not a person who likes to compare. At first I hoped you would turn your head and not see, even if we were in the bathhouse, even if we were friends, I would also feel embarrassed…"

　　Following his words, some of the girls became curious, wondering if there was something wrong with Shinichi, or perhaps he was embarrassed by his size.

　　Ishigami shouted impatiently.

　　"Ahhh! That's enough, stop talking nonsense!"

　　"Kyaaa~" Amidst Shinichi's deliberate screams, the men's bath became silent.

　　Even the female bather held her breath and stared at the wall, not letting go of any movement coming from the other side.

　　After about ten seconds, Shinichi's slightly sneering voice came again.

　　"I'm not one for comparisons, but if you insist on making yourself unhappy, it will only hurt your man's pride."

　　There was a dull clang of tiles, and Shirogane and Ishigami appeared to kneel.

　　"L-lose..."

　　"Damn, are you a mixed race European and American..."

　　Shinichi said with humility and satisfaction: "It's an honor, it's just that I have extraordinary talent."

　　This is what often happens in Japanese men's baths. Although only a few men went to the bath together to compete.

　　As for the women's bath...

　　"A mix of Europe and America…" Her eyes widened like Kaguya's just now, Chika followed the imaginary scene in her mind, her eyes starting to roll around.

　　Then giggling, she lost consciousness, and sank into the water with Iino.

　　 Kei covered her ears and shrank into the water below her neck, her eyes stared blankly at the surface of the water and she muttered and repeated.

　　"I'm a good kid. I don't know anything about European and American sizes. I don't understand. I'm still a kid and I don't know what size means..."

　　Suddenly her nerves short-circuited, and she curled up into a ball and sank to the bottom of the water.

　　So, except for Moeha and Rui, these girls were completely wiped out in the hot springs just by listening to voices and delusions.

　　The two survivors looked at each other with complex expressions.

　　After a while, Moeha spoke in a low voice.

　　"Hey, are those really European and American sizes?"

　　 Rui rolled her eyes.

　　"How would I know."
