Satsuki and the others took us to a high-class inn called "Shirotori no Tsubasa-tei", where we stayed yesterday.

It seemed a little too luxurious to stay there two days in a row, but the three of them walked in without a care and checked in the four of us including me.
Moreover...

'...... Hey, wait Satsuki. Didn't you just get a room for the four of us?

'Hmm, that's right. It's always lonely when Will is in a separate room. You don't have to worry about paying for the room today. It's on the three of us. He's always been so good to us. We just thought we should return the favor once in a while.

'No, wait, wait. There's something wrong.

'Hee hee hee. It's okay, it's okay.

Satsuki ignored my protests and forcefully dragged me to my room.

Mee and Cyril don't say anything in particular, but that also means that they approve of Satsuki's behavior.
Perhaps they have already agreed in advance.

They arrived at the room with Satsuki taking them by the hand.
It was a spacious room for four people, with four beds in the back.

'Oh, I'm so tired!

Satsuki let go of my hand, went to the back of the room, unloaded her sword and all her belongings, and dove straight into the bed.
She lounged comfortably on the mattress.

Mee and Cyril also set up their own beds and took their positions.
All three of them are relaxing.

I was the one standing alone among them.
Cyril sees this and calls out to me.

'Why don't you come over here and relax, William?

Her voice was a little hoarse.
Her cheeks also seemed to be reddening.

'Will~, you can sit next to me if you want. Here, here.'

Satsuki said, and patted her own bed, the one she was lying on.
She seems to be completely natural, unlike Cyril, which makes me want to say wait a minute.

...... Is this what Mee was talking about when she said she was going to play the game?

That's all I can think of.
I'm not sure what to make of it, but it's a good idea.

I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's a good idea.

'...... Cyril, you're being too conscious. Did you forget that I told you that it was fine to act as you normally do?

'Yes, you said that, but it's not that easy ...... when it comes to this.'

'It's not that I'm going to do anything shady. Also, Satsuki, you should be a little more careful.'

'What, because you said it was fine as usual.

'Satsuki has too many problems with her normal life.

It seems that Mee is the one in charge here.
I ask her.

'Mee, what's the meaning of this? I need an explanation of your intentions and such. I'm a little confused.

'Hmm, an explanation? I don't really have anything to explain. It's just that we're going to spend today in the same room.

'No, you say we're just going to spend the day together, but there are many problems with a man and a woman sharing a room at an inn.

'Is that so? For example, if it's a family, it's not strange for a father and mother to share a room, right?

'...... Well, that's true.

'It's also normal for lovers and couples.'

'Mmm...... no, but in that case, the possibility of an affair is a prerequisite.'

'What? ...... Huh? It's true. I'm going back to my family. I'm going back to my family.

'Okay, okay.'


Apparently, ...... is a project full of holes.

In the event you're not sure what you're looking for, it's possible you'll be able to find a great deal more information on the web.

I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure it's a good idea. It's all about what Satsuki said earlier.

'What do you mean by that?

'It's that William gets lonely when he's alone. I don't want to be the only one at the party.'

'Oh.'

I see, I understand the direction of your thinking.
It is true that the idea of a man and a woman sharing a room, i.e. having an affair, may have been a little too conventional.

'Family: ......'

On the other hand, the words reminded me of my own family.

His father, James Glenford.
A man of great intellect and ability.
I don't know when I stopped feeling the warmth of family in that man.

His mother, Felicia Glenford.
My mother, who had seemingly contradictory elements of generosity, extravagance, and rationality contained within her own person without contradiction.
I think that she gave me approximately everything that we generally imagine when we call a family.

I'm not sure if I should think of it as being like when I'm with my ...... mother.
It seems to be quite difficult to imagine...

'Okay, let's think about it that way.

That's what I tell Mee.
Well, it's impossible to think of her as a mother, so you imagine that she would treat you like this if you had a family member who was closer to her in age, such as a brother.

That made a lot of sense to me.
I decided to take the remaining bed as my home base, unpacked my things and took a breath.

'Phew ......'.

Well, it's not unsettling.
Especially if you don't think of them as the opposite s*x.

As I do so, Satsuki comes towards me and takes my hand again.

'Will, let's go to the hot spring! Yesterday was ruined by Glenn's bastard. Let's have a relaxing time this time.

'I see. That's true.

It's true that we didn't feel very relaxed yesterday, despite the fact that we were staying at a high-class inn.


I can understand that you want to start over again.

'But considering that we're a family, I wonder if it's appropriate for men and women to take a bath together at this age.

'Hmm, I guess so. If they were close siblings, it would be possible, right?

'...... What's with the sibling rituals?

'No, no, no, no! I'm going to take a bath with Will~! I'm going to take a bath with Will and make out with him!

Satsuki began to act in a way I couldn't understand.

When I looked at Mee, she was shaking her head as if she had a headache.
It seems that Satsuki's behavior is not under Mie's control.

I let out a sigh.

'...... Well, since I accompanied you yesterday, I don't think it's too late for us to bathe together again. I also enjoyed bathing with Satsuki and the others yesterday.

'Yay! Hot springs with Will... hot springs again...'

Satsuki started to jump up and down.
It's a bit bewildering to be adored so much.
What is it that drives her so much?

'Well, it's settled then. Let's start with the bath.

Mee took charge, and we all headed for the bath.


We all went to the bathhouse.


Then, just like yesterday, the four of us soaked in the hot spring and relaxed.
As usual, it was practically a private bath.
What was different from yesterday was that there were no unnecessary intruders.

Incidentally, there was a scene at the bathhouse.
When I rejected Satsuki's wish to make out with me...

'Oh well... I'll just put up with Cyril then. I've always wanted to rub your big tits.

'What, ......? Wait, Satsuki, what are you doing ......?

'Hee hee, your sister has nice tits. Come on, get ready!

'Hey, stop, stop, stop, stop, ......!

'...... What are you doing in front of William?

There was a time when I solemnly ran away to wash my body because such a scene that should not be seen began to unfold.
Since I am a healthy boy, I hope you will not tempt me too carelessly.

Despite all this, we finished bathing safely.

I think Satsuki was carrying the limp Cyril, saying 'I must have overdone it', but I decided to pretend that I hadn't witnessed it.
