Chapter 284

"Hayato-kun, you should worry about yourself first... My mother is very stubborn!"

Ikuyo looked up at him happily, then thought about the terrifying scene after returning home and let out a heavy sigh.

"Perverts are the best at tackling the stubborn!"

"Don't do anything weird to other people's mothers!"

After the two returned to the lobby with the Massage Bed, Ishikawa Hayato rolled up his sleeves and inexplicably stood in the middle of the lobby, striking a bodybuilding pose to show off his muscles.

"The first one, Nijika!"

He struck a pose while pointing at someone.

This person is cunning. Knowing that Nijika would be too embarrassed to do it after seeing others make a fool of themselves, he let her do it first.

"Huh?! Me... me?"

Nijika was startled. She had agreed readily before, but she was still a little worried, after all, Hitori's cries during the summer vacation were really strange.

"How about... Bocchi-chan goes first?"

She smiled weakly at Hitori, who was sprawled on the sofa with Liang, and tried to let the experienced person go first.

But she clearly forgot who had more important words in this world for Hitori.

"Ah... I'll come later..."

Without Ishikawa Hayato Hitori needing to hint, he refused Nijika's request on his own.

Nijika froze and looked at Liang again, but Liang completely ignored her and didn't even open his eyes.

"I see..."

She was a little annoyed that she had agreed without thinking while she was exhausted.

She felt ashamed.

Nijika got up and walked to the Massage Bed. Under Ikuyo's curious gaze, she lay down and looked pitifully at Ishikawa Hayato, saying to him.

"Hayato-kun... be gentle."

"Alright!" Ishikawa Hayato began to strike strange poses reminiscent of ancient martial arts.

"There's a gentler way to massage; it will make Nijika feel more comfortable."

I just don't want it to be any more comfortable!

Nijika shouted in her heart.

But the next moment, Ishikawa Hayato placed his hands on her back and, with a strange technique, pulled her down again.

"Ah~ um..."

The intense pleasure of relieving fatigue surges into the brain like a torrent, breaking through all limitations.

The intense pleasure caused Nijika's small feet, encased in white socks, to straighten instantly. As soon as she made a sound, she hugged the Massage Bed tightly, pressing her head against the cushion to suppress her noise.

So it turns out that what Bocchi-chan said about not being able to control her voice was true.

The last thing that flashed through Nijika's mind before she could think any further was this sentence.

Meanwhile, Ikuyo had initially watched with amusement, stopped laughing when she saw Nijika biting her lip tightly and her eyes rolling upwards as Ishikawa Hayato massaged her.

She was somewhat relieved that she was in good physical condition and didn't need a massage; otherwise, she would have been a little scared of embarrassing herself like that in the brightly lit hall.

Ikuyo glanced at Liang and Hitori.

Ryo-senpai didn't react in any particular way; he just quietly looked at Senior Nijika, as if observing her reaction.

That attitude exuded the confidence and composure of a mature woman.

Ichiri-chan hunched over slightly, her hands clasped between her legs, her face flushed, looking both expectant and shy.

Seeing Hitori's reaction, Ikuyo felt that she might be slower than Ichiri in some aspects.

A few minutes later, amidst Ikuyo's worry that Nijika might break down, Ishikawa Hayato finally ended his massage of Nijika.

Ishikawa Hayato watched with satisfaction as Nijika clung tightly to the Massage Bed, her small feet in white socks pressing hard against the cushions, almost kicking the socks off.

"That way, it probably won't hurt tomorrow."

"Nijika would probably rather endure the pain..."

Ikuyo, who wasn't yet in the massage queue, calmly remarked.

Ishikawa Hayato laughed, ignoring Ikuyo's sarcastic remark, and began to speak.

"Next..."

"Bocchi, you go first."

Ryo correctly demonstrated how to skip the order arranged by Ishikawa Hayato.

However, Nijika no longer has the ability to think and learn.

Hitori glanced at Ishikawa Hayato, confirmed with him that everything was alright, and then awkwardly shuffled over.

Apart from Nijika, who was still regaining consciousness, the others noticed her embarrassment but didn't point it out.

Ishikawa Hayato picked up Nijika and helped her lie down on the sofa.

Then, when they reached the Hitori, he didn't use the gentle pressing method that Nijika had requested, but instead used the conventional method.

But...

"Ah... um... mmm~"

Hitori's reaction was no less than Nijika's. Although she didn't move much, her suppressed voice and undulating back made Ryo and Ikuyo look blankly at Ishikawa Hayato.

Is this guy planning to bully everyone?!

Seeing their gazes, Ishikawa Hayato didn't complain and quickened his pace with activities to relieve fatigue, which couldn't be described in detail.

Unlike Nijika, who was completely lost in thought, Hitori was still able to get out of bed on her own.

"Next."

Ishikawa Hayato glanced at Ryou, who sat calmly on the sofa with his legs crossed, giving him an expression that seemed to say, "Is this all you're capable of?"

"Let's get something with better results."

Liang stood up and said with great confidence.

Just a moment later, Ishikawa Hayato stopped the massage, glanced at the three people standing frozen by the sofa, and then looked at Ryo, who was deeply bowing his head and covering his face.

He felt that the reason for the accident just now was because they had become so used to it lately. When facing him, Liang no longer had the girlish shyness of suppressing her voice, and would even actively let her voice out.

"Ishikawa Hayato said awkwardly."

"Just like the massage in Hitori."

Liang gave a soft "Mmm".

Finally, since everyone had already embarrassed themselves, and for the sake of fairness, with Ryo's suggestion, Hitori's nod, and Nijika's tacit approval, they decided to...

201. Sharing a bed

"Hayato-kun didn't mean to tease anyone."

Inside the steamy bathroom, the four women of the Ishikawa family stood back to back, each taking a shower and chatting.

Taking a bath together as a group of four has become a habit, mainly so that Ishikawa Hayato doesn't have to wait too long.

However, Ishikawa Hayato prefers to wash everything together without waiting.

However, Nijika resolutely blocked him from entering, rejecting his ambition with a single vote.

At this moment, Nijika sat on a small stool, rubbing her fair arms with fragrant shower gel.

Feeling that her body hadn't returned to its previous state of exhaustion, and only a lazy, tingling sensation remained, she uttered the words above.

"Hmm, it's very effective... it's just strangely comfortable..."

A sound came from Hitori behind her.

Nijika smiled.

She could sense Hitori Ichiri's tone had become more direct, and due to various factors, her spirits, which had been dampened by Ishikawa Hayato's bullying, had recovered somewhat.

Then, Ikuyo's pitiful voice rang out from behind her.

"You guys are so mean! I already told you I don't feel unwell..."

Nijika felt a pang of guilt. Just now, they had not only voted to have Ikuyo taken for a massage, but they had also watched her enjoy herself so much that she didn't want anyone to see.

Now that I think about it carefully, didn't their infighting just benefit Hayato-kun?

But this blessing seems to be something Hayato-kun can enjoy anytime.

"But I really had a lot of fun today, and I took a ton of photos!"

Ikuyo was speaking happily when suddenly her speech slowed down, becoming thoughtful.

"Oh... right, everyone, can I post the photos on Instagram?"

Why did Ikuyo hesitate, and why did she ask that question?

Nijika thought for a moment and came up with a reason.

Ikuyo was probably worried that they might care about the fact that the four of them were dating Ishikawa Hayato.

Those who don't observe carefully might not notice anything, but there's still a possibility that someone will notice something amiss.

"I don't care."

As Liang spoke, he poured a basin of water over his head and from head to toe, washing the remaining foam off his body and onto the ground.

Ryo still doesn't seem to be thinking things through.

As Nijika washed her arms down to her chest, she hesitated for a moment before hearing Hitori behind her say something.

"Me too."

Has Hitori thought about this seriously?

Nijika thought about it and, as she got to know him better, she also found that Hitori wasn't as stupid or strange as he seemed.

But she still pleaded.

"Please reconsider, everyone. We're a fairly well-known band now. If our incestuous behavior gets discovered..."

"They became a famous band in Japan overnight."

Liang seemed to be smiling as she stood up and walked towards the bath.

"Hey! I don't want negative fame."

Nijika turned her head and angrily yelled at the man, while inwardly complaining that this guy was still so casual about taking a bath.

At this moment, it was said from Hitori behind Nijika.

"But... if this continues, the public will find out eventually..."

As expected, Hitori had thought about it, and her tone didn't show much worry, just a hesitant thoughtfulness.

"So, Senior Nijika, you think it's not going to work?"

Hearing Ikuyo's question, Nijika breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that they had actually been mentally prepared.

"No, I also think there's no need to hide it. Just like how Hayato-kun only said he wanted to build a harem at the beginning, not deceiving is the right path, but of course, there's no need to say it directly either..."

She was actually a little scared; if it were Ishikawa Hayato who made the suggestion, she would have no objection at all.

Then she remembered that she should ask Hayato-kun first.

"Ah, um..." Ikuyo hurriedly interjected.

"It seems like Hayato-kun didn't initially plan to build a harem..."

Her words elicited a gasp from the bathroom.

"Huh?!!"

Nijika Hitori out in disbelief.
