Chapter 270

"Play for a while, then start practicing."

In the end, the four of them managed to persuade Nijika.

"Just play for a little while," Nijika said helplessly.

They all knew she was easily swayed, and while they said that, they could play more if they asked her for more favors, but they wouldn't go too far.

They agreed to start playing games, but the three, who were used to staying at the Ishikawa house, got up and headed straight to their room.

Only Ikuyo hadn't lived there that long, turned back and asked again.

"Hayato-kun, what's the proper order for bathing?"

"I'll end it here; you can do as you please."

Having never stayed at the Ishikawa family home before, Nijika, still unaware of what was going on, sat on the sofa and glanced at Ishikawa Hayato. Ishikawa Hayato immediately explained to her.

"We usually start playing after we've taken a shower."

Nijika glanced at the three people walking towards the corridor, then looked at Ishikawa Hayato, who seemed quite calm.

Although she had some doubts about whether this game was really that serious, Nijika wasn't as outrageous Ikuyo, so she didn't say much.

Before entering the corridor, Ikuyo looked back at Nijika, who hadn't gotten up yet, and suddenly made a suggestion.

"Oh right, Ijichi-senpai is here too, let's shower together, the four of us will wash faster."

The four of them had showered together before, and their sexual orientations were all normal. Apart from Ikuyo saying some strange things, they didn't mind showering together as girls.

"Um."

Ryo and Hitori nodded without much concern.

Nijika hesitated for a moment, but Hitori quickly noticed her predicament and spoke up.

"Nijika-chan, if you need pajamas, I can lend you some..."

Ishikawa Hayato was shocked. Hitori lent Nijika his pajamas?! Wasn't this a devastating blow to Nijika?

But Nijika didn't seem to notice this. After thinking for a moment, she decided to do as the locals do and nodded happily.

"Okay, then I'll leave it to Bocchi-chan!"

After she responded, Ishikawa Hayato saw that the girl by the aisle had already started laughing.

Although he found Ryo scornful, Ishikawa Hayato was thinking of something even worse.

Is there any way to trick Nijika into making a grand entrance like Ikuyo?

He thought about it and realized that this was too difficult. It would be easier to make her dumbfounded by having Ryo, Hitori, Ikuyo Yudai dressed in shocking costumes.

Besides, he didn't have any extra pajamas like that. He couldn't possibly be such a scoundrel as to borrow sexy pajamas from Hitori and Ikuyo for other women to wear.

A moment later, the four girls brought their bathing supplies and went to the washroom.

Here, Ishikawa Hayato, who had already cleaned and filled the bath for them, stood with his eyes closed, arms crossed, leaning against the wall, waiting.

The four of them knew him very well, and seeing his appearance, they knew what he was up to.

"Hayato-kun, would you like to shower first? If so, you can go first."

Nijika knew that if Ishikawa Hayato really wanted to wash first, no one else would care, but she was just using a strategic retreat as a means to advance.

Upon realizing his wish had not been granted, Ishikawa Hayato, who had been maintaining a wooden facade, immediately broke down in tears and clung to Nijika's leg.

"Give me a chance to shower together."

To be honest, this person was really very close to the five of them taking a shower together.

Ryo and Hitori wouldn't refuse him; Ryo even took a bath together that weekend.

As for Ikuyo, as long as he doesn't look or touch inappropriately and promises to take a proper bath together after showering, she should agree.

If it were just the two of them, she might even offer some small favors with her hands.

If I'm in a good mood later, I can even just cancel it.

Only Nijika would never allow Ishikawa Hayato to act so recklessly.

"This is absolutely unacceptable!"

Nijika refused very seriously.

"Um, isn't this a bit too much Ijichi-senpai..."

Seeing Nijika's stern expression, Ikuyo couldn't help but speak up for Ishikawa Hayato, but after realizing that there seemed to be no way to resolve the matter, she took her words back.

Nijika was surprised that she would support Ishikawa Hayato Nijika in a place like this.

What's going on? Not only Ryo and Bocchi-chan, but now even Kita- chan has completely fallen out of favor?

When did they do it?!

Standing at the door of the restroom, Nijika suddenly felt scared. She was worried that her friends, who were siding with Ishikawa Hayato, might force her to be handed over to him.

However, she felt relieved after thinking about Ishikawa Hayato's character; Ishikawa Hayato was the kind of person who would give up kissing someone just because the circumstances weren't right.

At this point, Ishikawa Hayato revealed his true purpose.

He spoke with a fawning smile.

"You can't just leave me here, can you? Let me chat with you guys in the restroom."

For four people sharing a meal, they didn't really care about the cost at all.

Ryo, Ikuyo, Hitori looked at Nijika, the only one who would refuse, and asked her if she agreed.

After thinking for a moment, Nijika sighed helplessly and refused.

"Not today! We need to have a women's meeting today."

The three women looked at Nijika with confusion and astonishment in their eyes; they hadn't heard Nijika mention anything about women.

"Eh..."

Ishikawa Hayato let out a pitiful sigh.

To prevent Ishikawa Hayato from eavesdropping, Nijika even stood with her hands on her hips and said seriously.

"Hayato-kun, listen carefully, you absolutely cannot eavesdrop, now answer 'yes'."

Seeing Nijika's serious expression, Ishikawa Hayato had no choice but to abandon his eavesdropping idea and gave a reply as if he had lost his parents.

"Good."

While Ishikawa Hayato pitifully waited in the lobby, the four people changing clothes in the restroom were talking.

"Ijichi-senpai, why?"

Ikuyo asked with a puzzled look; she wasn't eagerly anticipating what Ishikawa Hayato would do to her.

She just felt that if it was Ishikawa Hayato, there was nothing wrong with him waiting outside their bathroom and chatting with them.

Nijika didn't turn around to look at Ikuyo, who was changing clothes. She felt that if she hadn't stayed today, something very lewd might have happened.

However, she didn't stop the situation from happening, and she reminded him.

"You haven't forgotten about the surprise you were going to give Hayato-kun you?"

As they spoke, the clothes the girl had worn all day were put into the laundry basket.

It was only then that Hitori and Ikuyo realized they hadn't told Ryo about this.

Liang then noticed the two people's appearance and realized that this was something she was the only one unaware of.

"What surprise?"

Nijika glanced at the door. Although she knew Ishikawa Hayato wouldn't eavesdrop, she still didn't rush to explain.

"I'll tell you later."

Covering herself with Hitori bath towel, she set up the washing machine, added laundry detergent, and then walked into the bathroom.

Nijika had just finished explaining.

"In short, this is the plan. What do you think, Liang?"

Nijika sat on a small stool, arms crossed, looking towards Liang for confirmation.

Hitori walked to another spot, put down a bath towel, took out a small stool and sat down, listening to Liang's plan with the other two.

Although they all took it so seriously, Nijika had already analyzed Liang's possible actions.

She either thought it was boring, or that she didn't have the money, or that there was no need to surprise Ishikawa Hayato.

Liang hesitated for a moment, observing the gazes of the three.

How much money is needed?

All three of them were stunned for a moment. After confirming with Hitori, Nijika said cautiously.

"50,000... we'll refund any extra."

"I just went home to get my allowance. Come to my room to get it later."

Her straightforward words left the three of them staring wide-eyed in disbelief.

Nijika asked in a trembling voice, "You, you're Liang, right?"

Ikuyo: "Did Ryo-senpai's parents give him a lot of pocket money?"

Only Hitori honestly said, "Liang Sang, the money is deposited with everyone; we'll take it out when we need to buy it..."

Liang didn't respond to the two people's exaggerated tone, but said to Hitori.

"Oh, then I'll send it to Nijika first. I'll spend the money if I have it."

After she finished speaking, she turned on the tap, tested the water temperature, and started taking a shower, leaving the three people looking on with a puzzled expression.

194. Women's Association

"Yesterday when we were playing the game, Ryo-senpai was really mean. He made me and Gotou-san try out all the dangerous places, and he even made us step on some traps repeatedly."

"That's just how he is; once he starts having fun, he doesn't care about anything else."

In the steamy bathroom, Nijika and Ikuyo chatted as the four of them showered with their backs to each other, preparing for their bath.

After complaining, Nijika turned around and glanced at Liang.

Liang remained silent with his back to them for a while before finally saying something in response.

"But then I died."

"He got what he deserved."

Nijika ruffled her long hair with both hands, chuckling as she commented.

Although they had a good relationship, the four of them, with their different personalities, didn't find it easy to have a conversation. They could talk in pairs, but when all four of them were together, someone had to carry the burden.

Ikuyo looked back at Hitori, who had been quiet for a long time.

"What do you think, Gotou-san?"

Yili, who had his back to her, noticed her gaze tighten for Hitori and replied later.

I think it's okay...

Nijika raised her voice cutely and spoke in a lively tone.

"Bocchi-chan's night raid, group six nine. ④ nine' ③ six one three five, don't be polite to Liang."

Hitori conflicted response.

"Hmm... next time, next time I will."

Ikuyo turned around happily and looked at the group of people.

"Then let's have fun playing the game tonight!"

"Um."

Liang and Hitori, one indifferent and the other awkwardly responding, they even kept their backs to her and didn't turn around.
