Chapter 122: Chapter 122: Umehara Umekori 2

The only nearby hotel I knew of was the one near Hato Station.

“I didn’t expect…. To be taken to a love hotel.”

“Because that’s the only one I know.”

“I don’t mind…..”

Without hesitation, Umehara-san walked into HOTEL C+.

Looking around curiously, I walked over to the touch panel.

I had only been here recently with Mia, so I wasn’t used to it yet.

“Young man, did you want to come to a hotel like this with an older college girl?”

“Eh? Because it’s a reasonable hotel.”

“Then, you’re not going to do anything to me?”

“What do you mean?”

Umehara-san’s eyes widened as if she was a little surprised.

Of course, it’s a love hotel. As for her, I guess she was asking me if I want to have sex with her.

But I wasn’t looking for that kind of relationship with Umehara-san.

I just wanted to be able to spend the whole night talking with my favorite author.

“Well, okay.”

Umehara-san chose the most expensive room.

The two of us rode the elevator to the top floor.

“Does the young man have a girlfriend?”

“Eh? Yeah….I do.”

“I see. Youth, huh?”

When we got to the room, Umehara-san put her handbag on the sofa and disappeared into the shower room.

I waited for her, seemingly aware of her, and then took a shower after Umehara-san went out.

When I came out, she was drinking something.

“Now sit down, young man. Let’s not wait until morning!”

“Ah, yes.”

We sat down on the sofa, facing each other.

In the brightly lit room, Umehara-san’s beauty stood out.

Her body was small, but she had a mature air about her.

Perhaps it was because she was in Tokyo, but she had an air of innocence about her, and she was definitely not someone I would normally try to talk to.

Even though she had taken off her makeup, Umehara-san’s face did not change.

In fact, her skin became more translucent, and her cheeks, stained by the alcohol, looked sexy.

She was dressed in her loungewear, which tickled my fancy.

“Are you listening, young man?”

“Eh? Ah, yes…..But is it okay to have a different heroine? If you want, you can use a friend who appeared in the first work for that position.”

“That’s what I was thinking too.”

As such, the discussion about the third volume was in full swing.

When we had settled down, Umehara-san left the room to make a phone call.

On the balcony with the jacuzzi, she looked like she was seriously talking.

As I watched her, I felt my eyelids grow heavy.

Today, I had sex with Shirota twice.

I was not used to such an exercise, and my body seemed to be reaching its limits.

“You fell asleep in the end.”

I thought I heard a gentle voice say.

When I opened my eyes, I found myself lying on a hotel bed.

Pulling myself up, I looked around the room and saw that no one was there.

There were some bills on the table.

I opened my cellphone to find a message from someone I didn’t have registered with.

>I’ve taken the liberty of exchanging contact information with you, young man.

>I’m going back to Tokyo. Thank you.

When I looked at the time of the message, it was the first thing in the morning.

She must have taken the first train home without sleeping.

>I just got up.

>I’m sorry, I was going to stay with you until morning.

There was no reply.

I gratefully paid for the stay with the money she left and walked out.

I decided to return the money when I saw her again.

It was only 9:30 in the morning.

I had breakfast at a coffee shop near Hato Station.

I received a text from Shirota.

>I’ll try to get to Okunashi Station at 11:00 (‘ω’)

We had actually planned to go together, but we ended up going separately.

Soon I received a text from Mia as well.

>I’m coming with Mikoto-chan at Eda’s house at around 11:30.

After sending them a text of understanding, I left the coffee shop.

It was a little early, but I headed for Okunashi Station.

“Good morning! I’m sorry about yesterday…”

Shirota came running to the ticket gate.

She was wearing a dark blue T-Shirt with a navy blue cap.

Her white thighs, visible because of her shorts, were dazzling.

“Huh? You didn’t go home?”

Shirota tilted her head when she saw my luggage.

“Ah, well…”

As I was wondering how to explain to her, I saw a familiar face behind the ticket gate.

Our eyes met, but she quickly looked away.

Shirota followed my line of sight curiously.

“What?”

“There’s someone else I wanted to introduce you to today besides Eda.”

“….Does that mean there’s someone else besides Fukiko who could become your girlfriend?”

“I wasn’t sure if she’d come….but she did.”

Rino-chan enters through the ticket gate.

A white shirt with blue and red stripes.

She is wearing a long, bluish-black skirt.

“Rino-chan….You came”

As she approached me and Shirota, Rino-chan bit her lip.

She then took one look at Shirota and lowered her eyes.

“Um…”

Shirota was troubled as well.

It was the first time she had met her, and now she was going to be her girlfriend.

“I’m Shirota Yotsuba….”

“I’m Rino Ooki.”

That was an awkward self-introduction.

“Okutani…Eh? Could this girl still be in middle school?”

“She’s in the second year of middle school.”

I was anxious to see what kind of answer I would get.

But Shirota’s answer was beyond my expectations.

“Yay! She’s younger than me!”

“Eh?”

Rino-chan and I shouted almost simultaneously.

The smiling sports girl looked at Rino-chan and nodded.

“I’m happy to have younger friends! Nice to meet you!”

“Ah, erm….Ah, yes.”

Rino-chan nodded, still troubled.

I asked Rino-chan to confirm it properly.

“If you’re here, that means….”

“Um….yes…..”

Rino-chan’s face reddened slightly and she looked at me.

“Will you take me as your girlfriend?”

“Sure!”

For some reason, it was Shirota who answered.
