In the following time, the two chatted for a while.
However, this kind of pleasant time has its limit on Physics.
"Well..."
About half an hour later, Sakayanagi Arisu's face, which was still smiling, suddenly changed.
She raised her hand to hold her forehead, and her breathing became a little faster.
"It seems... it has reached its limit."
She did not try to be brave, but frankly admitted her physical weakness.
Long-term high-temperature immersion is indeed a big burden on her Congenital Heart Defect body.
The accelerated blood circulation increased the load on her heart, and the dizziness came like a tide.
"Then go up."
Kazehara Tetsu didn't say any nonsense. He stood up, causing a splash of water.
He did not leave directly, but extended his hand in a gentlemanly manner to help the shaky Sakayanagi Arisu. It was not until she was sure that she could stand firmly that she took the lead to walk out of the soup pool.
Inside Changing Room, the heating is turned on fully, dispelling the severe cold in winter.
Kazehara Tetsu wiped off the water droplets on his body neatly and picked up the clothes in the bamboo basket.
When his eyes swept across the isolation screen, his mind couldn't help but think of Sakayanagi Arisu's delicate yet extremely fragile body.
'Congenital Heart Disease...'
This also destined her to be unable to run like ordinary people. She could only rely on the cane and devote all her talents to the only weapon, her brain.
Kazehara Tetsu summoned the interface that only he could see in his heart.
His eyes skillfully passed through the rows of dazzling products, and finally settled on the top of the "medical" props.
[Omnipotent Body Repair Potion: Can repair all congenital/acquired physiological defects and chronic diseases.]
[500 Points]
This is something he has long admired.
There is no need for complicated surgeries or long courses of treatment, just a bottle of medicine.
His eyes moved to the right and landed on the balance column in the corner.
[Current Points:473]
(I wanted to post a task in Sports Festival before, and I was the first to get 300 Points. I forgot to add it. Let's just pretend that this happened.)
"There's still 27 o'clock left..."
Kazehara Tetsu was thinking about it in his mind while buttoning his shirt.
Although it is only one step away, this Points was not blown by the strong wind.
If you want to collect the remaining Points, you have to wait for the next task to be triggered.
"Well, I'm not in a rush now."
He didn't have the sense of urgency to be the savior right away.
Just wait until the next mission is settled.
Boys change clothes much faster than girls, not to mention that Sakayanagi Arisu has limited mobility, so it naturally takes more time.
"Buzz..."
At this moment, the mobile phone placed in the clothes basket suddenly vibrated and the screen lit up.
Kazehara Tetsu Pick up the phone and unlock the screen.
It is a message from the instant messaging software LINE.
He didn't reply immediately, just crossed out the notification and put the phone into his coat pocket.
"Tetsu-kun?"
Just at this moment, the voice of Sakayanagi Arisu came from the other side of the screen.
She seemed to have changed her clothes and was arranging her silver hair.
"I thought I heard my phone ringing just now. Is there something urgent?"
Her voice sounded calmer than when she was in the water just now. It was obvious that her condition had improved after a short rest.
"Nothing."
Kazehara Tetsu leaned against Changing Room's cabinet door with a casual tone.
"It's just some insignificant messages. It's probably the kind of spam advertisements sent in groups, or harassing text messages from a boring person. It won't affect the next arrangements."
"Really?"
Following this soft rhetorical question, Sakayanagi Arisu turned out from behind the screen.
She has already changed into a set of winter clothes.
A pure white cashmere dress.
Those slender legs were wrapped in thick black white silk.
The iconic White Beret was put on his head again, and he picked up the cane again.
"Since Tetsu-kun is indeed fine..."
Sakayanagi Arisu walked up to Kazehara Tetsu and raised his head slightly, with a meaningful light shining in his eyes.
"Well, I have some 'business' to deal with here."
"Business?"
Kazehara Tetsu raised his eyebrows, "If it is something important, then I have no choice but to say goodbye."
"Haha, if only it were that simple."
Sakayanagi Arisu shook his head slightly, with a mysterious smile on his lips.
"Unfortunately, I'm afraid there's no way to say goodbye like this. Although I also want to enjoy our two-person world with Tetsu-kun for a while, there is a 'big man' who seems to be impatient with waiting."
"...?"
Kazehara Tetsu looked at her, waiting for the next step.
"My father... he loves me very much."
This sentence has no beginning or end, but both people present are smart Akito.
Sakayanagi Arisu's father.
The chairman of this Advanced Nurturing Academy...Sakayanagi Narimori.
The man standing at the top of the school.
"That's it."
Kazehara Tetsu understood the meaning instantly.
Sakayanagi Arisu did not come alone.
In other words, this time Hot Spring Trip itself may be under the Tacit Approval or even arrangement of that chairman.
And now, the father who loves his daughter very much probably wants to meet this "boyfriend" who has become very close to his precious daughter recently and has even been rumored to have an affair.
"Father is very curious about Tetsu-kun. After all, who is it that can make me so 'fascinated'?"
This is not just an ordinary Meeting Parents.
This is an interview.
An examination from the most powerful person in this school.
If you can pass this "interview", it will undoubtedly be a huge pass for Kazehara Tetsu's future in this school.
But if you mess up...
"So..."
Sakayanagi Arisu took a step closer to Kazehara Tetsu, his purple eyes full of teasing and anticipation.
"As my 'boyfriend' Tetsu-kun, do we have to go away together? If I run away at this time, it will make me embarrassed in front of my father."
"You..."
Kazehara Tetsu sighed helplessly.
Face the chairman directly?
The progress bar pulled up much faster than expected.
"Since it is a summons from my future father-in-law, I naturally have no reason to refuse."
He stretched out his arms very naturally, bending them into an inviting gesture.
"Then, let's go."
Sakayanagi Arisu stretched out his other free hand and gently placed it on Kazehara Tetsu's arm.
"What an honor."
The two walked out Hot Spring Inn.
It's already getting dark outside, and the winter night comes very early.
The cold wind blew snowflakes towards my face, which was in sharp contrast to the warmth inside the room just now.
