"Why did I not see this coming." Muttered Shintaro.
Haruka had brought them all to the cafeteria for complementary dinner, tonight's being curry.
"Well I was kind of hungry." Said Haruka.
"Aren't you worried about getting a cramp when your in the spring?" Asked Takane.
"Yeah you are supposed to wait 30 minutes after you eat." Said Ayano.
"Thats for swimming." Replied Shintaro.
Shintaro ate a spoonful of curry.
"Are you going to the springs after dinner Shintaro?" Asked Haruka.
"Not immediately." Said Shintaro. "I was going to wait for the right time."
"Right time?" Asked Ayano.
Haruka finished his plate of curry.
"I'm going for seconds." Said Haruka.
He got up, only for Takane to grab his arm and pull him back down.
"Haruka that curry needs to feed everyone." Said Takane
"But Takane..." Muttered Haruka. "I'm hungry..."
"I dont care if your starving, If you go for seconds, you'll want thirds, then fourths, and it will be a repeat of the sushi bar." Scolded Takane.
Haruka gave Takane an adorable stare.(well it was adorable to her)
"P-please?"
Takane felt her grip loosening.
"Dont look!" Said Ayano.
Ayano pulled her scarf off and wrapped it over the top part of Takane's Head, blinding her.
"What gives?!"
"Now Haruka's charms won't affect you." Said Ayano proudly.
"How am I supposed to eat then?" Asked Takane.
Haruka picked up Takane's spoon, scooped up a spoonful of curry, and stuffed it into her mouth.
"Mmmfff..."
"Huh?"
Takane swallowed.
"Thanks Ayano."
"That-"
Shintaro put his hand over Ayano's mouth, taking his phone out with his free hand and recording a video of Haruka feeding Takane.
"Let me enjoy this." Said Shintaro, thinking of the ways he could use this as blackmail.
Haruka took his spoon and scooped up a spoonful of Takane's curry.
"Haruka no, thats not yours." Scolded Ayano.
Haruka put on a defeated look and put the spoon down.
Following dinner the group split up. Ayano decided to take a nap in her room and Shintaro was browsing the internet. This left Takane and Haruka who both went to the hot springs.
Takane relaxed in the Women's Springs. The only other person there was an older woman who was napping on the other side of the spring. Takane was next to a wooden wall that separated the Men's springs, where Haruka was.
"Hey Takane!"
Takane heard Haruka's voice from the other side of the wall.
"How crowded is it on your side?" Asked Haruka.
"Only one person but shes asleep." Replied Takane. "You?"
"Two guys, a father and his kid." Said Haruka. "But they're minding their own business."
"So we can talk?" Asked Takane.
"Seems that way." Said Haruka.
They passed time chatting with each other about various things.
"So I heard that theres a hibachi place in town." Said Takane. "I was going to ask Ayano if we could eat there sometime."
"Sounds great." Said Haruka.
"Tomorrow Ayano wanted to see the sights." Said Takane. "Theres a shrine, some locations where they shot a movie, and a... Superhero museum believe it or not."
"Its amazing how she finds this stuff out." Said Haruka.
"She did a bunch of research." Said Takane. "Now if only she put this much effort into schoolwork."
Haruka let out a quick laugh.
"I know right?... Oh, and about dinner."
"Its fine." Said Takane. "Just think of others before stuffing your face."
"No really, I'm sorry." Said Haruka. "I shouldnt have used the puppy dog eyes. And I attracted a few intruding stares when I was feeding you."
Takane's eyes shot wide open and her face turned a bright red
"You what?!"
"Uh... You couldn't see... So..."
Takane dove under the hot water and let out a scream of embarrassment where nobody could hear her.
"Takane?... You still there?"
At some point Ayano had woke up and dragged Shintaro down to play a game of ping pong. The score was 4-7 with Shintaro leading.
"Wow your good at this." Said Ayano.
"Its all physics and probability." Said Shintaro.
Ayano hit the ball and it bounced off a nearby walk before hitting her in the head.
"Have you ever even played ping pong before?" Asked Shintaro.
"No but I wanted to try it." Replied Ayano with a smile.
"GGGRRRRRRAAAAA!"
Takane stomped in angrily.
"YOU TRICKED ME!" Shouted Takane.
"Sshhhh." Said Ayano. "People could be sleeping."
Takane glared at her.
"I thought you were feeding me, not him!"
Takane pointed to Haruka, who had just entered.
"Now people will think we're dating!" Said Takane.
"Think about it this way." Began Shintaro. "You dont know anybody here, so what if they saw Haruka feeding you, its not like they'll be telling your friends or anything. Oh wait, we're your only friends!"
Takane growled at Shintaro.
"If I wasnt wearing this Yukata, I would stomp your face in." Retorted Takane.
"Hes right though." Said Ayano. "Some strangers seeing Haruka feed you wont cause you any trouble."
Takane started to calm down.
"Y-your right..."
"Its getting late." Said Haruka. "We should turn in."
"Agreed!" Said Ayano. "We're hitting the superhero museum tomorrow!"
Shintaro sighed.
"Should have stayed home..."
