Thinking that Wendy was also a girl, Lumine felt she shouldn't overthink it.
Anyway, they were both of the same sex, so it wasn't a big deal.
"Of course it is. Before, I thought you were a conservative and easily shy girl."
Nodding, Wendy said this as a matter of course.
Actually, Kaito had wanted to say this earlier, but after thinking about it, he hadn't voiced it. In any case, there were some things he was still hesitant to say between a man and a woman.
But if it were Wendy, Acheron, or Kiana, there was no need to consider so much; they could just say it directly.
After all, in a sense, they were all female, so they didn't need to be as reserved as the male side.
Lumine: "..."
Hearing Wendy's words, Lumine didn't quite know what to say.
Actually, Wendy was right; she was pretty much that kind of person. It was just that because of certain events, she had changed a bit.
And she found it a bit difficult to tell Wendy about those events.
"However..." At this moment, Wendy added another phrase.
"However... what?"
Seeing that Wendy clearly wanted her to ask, Lumine asked. She was very curious about what Wendy was going to say next.
"The current situation is still a bit special, so doing this is also quite normal."
Situation is special?
Stunned for a moment, Lumine didn't understand what Wendy meant.
What did she mean by special situation? Where was it special?
"It's just that if I didn't come, only Kaito would be able to see you like this, right?"
As she spoke, Wendy looked at Lumine with a mischievous smile. Actually, she wasn't entirely sure if that was the case, so she wanted to see what Lumine's reaction would be.
"Uh... it seems so..."
Regarding Wendy's words, Lumine neither opposed nor agreed. Mainly, she was a bit embarrassed.
"What do you mean 'seems'? If it is, it is; if it isn't, it isn't. It's that simple." Seeing Lumine like this, Wendy spoke again.
"...Yeah."
After hesitating for a moment, Lumine finally nodded, admitting to what Wendy had just said.
Since Wendy wasn't dissatisfied with her doing this as she had imagined, there was no point in hiding it; she might as well just show it.
"I feel that if I hadn't come, you two wouldn't have gone back to the Ritou Inn today." After getting Lumine's admission, Wendy said another sentence.
Not go back?
"Why not go back?"
Because she couldn't figure out why Wendy would say that, Lumine subconsciously asked this question.
"It's inconvenient to go back; there are too many people."
Seeing that Lumine didn't understand her previous sentence, Wendy explained simply.
If Lumine still didn't understand, she wouldn't say anything more. There was no helping it; if that were the case, Lumine would be obviously too pure, and she shouldn't say too much.
Inconvenient?
Only two people is indeed more convenient...
Regarding Wendy's words, Lumine felt they made a lot of sense. After all, once they went back, Acheron and Kiana would be there, and at that time, many things would be inconvenient to say.
Hmm...
Wait...
Why not go back tonight?
Suddenly realizing this issue, Lumine couldn't help but start thinking. And soon, she understood.
To go shopping together at night?
That seemed really nice...
Inazuma at night should be very lively too... Maybe there would be fireworks to watch or something.
And all kinds of food that Paimon likes best...
Thinking and thinking, Lumine felt as if she was already strolling through Inazuma at night with Kaito.
"Here comes the food." At this moment, Kaito finally returned; one could hear he was currently outside the door.
But actually, he could have come back long ago. He just deliberately waited outside a while longer for Wendy's interaction with Lumine.
Creak—
Opening the door, Kaito walked in from outside, holding a tray filled with various snacks in his hand. After closing the door, he placed the tray on a table next to the hot spring.
And beside that table, there were several lounge chairs, obviously for guests to lie on when they didn't want to soak in the hot spring.
"You're so slow." Seemingly complaining, Wendy walked out of the hot spring and went to a chair to lie down; she wanted to eat while lying down.
Sigh...
Can't this guy put the things right next to the hot spring...
Looking at the tray placed on the table, Lumine wanted to hit someone.
Because in this case, she would have to get out of the hot spring. Although she had been wearing this swimsuit for a while now, she had been hiding inside the hot spring for most of the time.
But now, if she wanted to eat, she had to come out of the water. It had to be said, wearing such a swimsuit and lying on a chair still made her shy.
"Aren't you coming up to eat something? Lumine."
At this moment, Wendy, who had already started eating, asked Lumine.
"I'm eating."
Gritting her teeth, Lumine decided to risk it.
Anyway, Kaito had already seen her wearing this swimsuit, so there was no point in being shy now.
Afterwards, Lumine also stood up from the hot spring.
"Why does it feel like Lumine looks shy?" Looking at Lumine, whose face seemed a bit red, Wendy said with some confusion.
"It's the cause of soaking in the hot spring; there's too much steam."
Kaito, on the other hand, explained for Lumine.
However, it had to be said, the current Lumine was truly beautiful. Compared to what Lumine had just said about him often letting Acheron and the others wear nothing, it was still better to wear this kind of swimsuit.
But he also knew that even with this kind, one would get tired of seeing it after a while; everything was like that.
"Yeah, I feel a bit hot."
Seeing Kaito's explanation was good, Lumine hurriedly added a sentence. Anyway, she wasn't shy right now; she was just blushing because the hot spring was too hot.
This swimsuit really is too revealing...
It's so cold...
As soon as she got up from the hot spring, feeling the airflow in the air, Lumine suddenly felt as if she wasn't wearing anything.
There was no helping it; the fabric of this swimsuit was just too little. Staying in the hot spring for a long time almost made her ignore this problem.
Hmm...
It really feels like I'm wearing nothing...
And there are people beside me...
Once she lay on the chair, that feeling of wearing nothing became even stronger. But there was no helping it; she was the one who wanted to wear this, so she definitely couldn't show any strange behavior.
Never mind, forget it...
Eat first...
Seeing that Kaito and Wendy were both concentrating on eating, Lumine felt she didn't need to think so much.
Afterwards, she also reached out to take some desserts to eat.
It had to be said, this was her first time eating like this; it felt very wonderful.
