57 Fifty-seven Stories: Going on a Hot Spring Trip (2...




 This area has long been famous for its hot springs, and there are many hotels for tourists here and there. Among them, the hotel where Allen and his friends stayed this time was a brand new three-star hotel.
 It is said that the hotel features a wide range of services such as hot springs, cooking and massage, and has many repeat customers. ......
 This is all from Miaha.

I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Please enjoy it.

 I don't need any souvenirs, but please give me a report.
 Meanwhile, the building was getting closer and closer.
 Charlotte hurriedly took out that thick book and showed it to me.

"Look, Mr. Allen. Look, Mr. Allen, that inn is in this book, too!
"Let's see. ...... Oh, I see.

 It's a double-page spread.
 As Allen stroked his chin, thinking that this was really promising, a thought occurred to him.

"Is that the hotel you wanted to go to, by any chance?
...... Yes!
You're lying.
Ugh. ...... Wow, Mr. Allen. You really do know how to lie. ......

 Charlotte shrinks back like a child who has been scolded.
 She looked away, lost for a long time, and in a trembling voice, anyone would be able to see through the lie now. Maybe I should let her get used to the world a little.

 Borrowing a book from Charlotte, Allen flipped through it.

"Hmm, not here ...... then this isolated hotel? No, wait. If it's popular with women, it's this .......
"Oh, please don't try to guess!

 I'm not sure why Charlotte took the book from Allen with a bright red face.

I'm not sure what to say. I'm not sure what to do. I'm not sure what to say, but I'm going to try.
"Embarrassing?

 "Embarrassing?" Allen could only twist his head.

"Why would you be embarrassed if people know where you want to go to ......?
"Because ......

 He hugged the book tightly to his chest and chuckled in a mosquito-like voice.

It's the kind of place a small child would want to go to. ......
"Hmmm? I see.

 But then, the candidates seem to narrow down considerably. I tried to continue guessing, but stopped at .......
 Allen shrugged his shoulders.

"Well, if you don't like it that much, I'll stop trying to stir things up. But I'll tell you one thing.
"What?

 Allen smiles at Charlotte, who rolls her eyes in confusion.

I'll tell you one thing, though. It's also a bad idea.
...... Are there things you couldn't do when you were a kid, Allen?
Yeah.

 I nodded humbly and thought about the past.
 I was able to do whatever I wanted, but there were many things I couldn't do. But all of them were accomplished later on.

I've been to caves thousands of meters beneath the earth to dig for ridiculously expensive magic ores, and I've been to uninhabited remote areas to cast wide area destruction spells. ...... My uncle stopped me from doing any of these things when I was a child. I'm not sure what to make of it.
It's not the same, but ...... it sounds like fun!

 Charlotte forced herself to make a gesture of agreement.

"Well, anyway. Do you think I'm going to laugh at you for being childish when I ask you where you want to go?
"...... No.
You know what? I'll take you anywhere you want to go. I'll take you anywhere you want to go.
"...... Yes!

 Charlotte smiles like a flower blooming.
 She probably never had a decent childhood in the first place. It's an important attempt to regain the time she once had.

(Hmmm ...... taking her back to her childhood ...... is not a bad policy.

 After this trip to the hot springs, there seemed to be many more "naughty things" that could be taught.
