Chapter 384: Tanned to a Deep Wheat Skin Color!
After the wash, cut, blow-dry, and facial care, Ryohei separated from Yurine and the others.
The subsequent services were all done separately for men and women.
After completing the whole set of procedures, Ryohei climbed up from the massage table. He put on his clothes, stretched his body, and felt much lighter all over.
He had to say, these services at the beauty salon were quite effective.
"..." Ryohei took out his phone from his pocket and checked the time; the screen showed 9:25.
Following the previous agreement, he went to wait in the lobby on the first floor of the beauty salon.
Time slipped away quietly, and in the blink of an eye, it was past ten o'clock.
Glowing and looking much more refreshed, Yurine, Jashin-chan, Medusa, and Koji arrived at the first-floor lobby chatting and laughing.
"Where are the other three?"
Ryohei sat on the single sofa with his legs crossed, holding his phone, looked up, and asked curiously.
"They are still experiencing other services, but it should be soon." Yurine walked up to Ryohei, spread her arms, and said with the corners of her lips slightly raised: "Not planning to say something?"
"Hmm... what a fresh cabbage, come here and let me nudge!"
Ryohei pondered for two seconds, put down his leg, and patted his thigh, signaling Yurine to sit on his lap.
"I asked you to praise me, not to say things like 'come into the bowl quickly'." Yurine put one hand on her waist, scolded him coyly, and made a gesture to sit down beside him.
Ryohei grabbed her wrist and gently pulled her into his embrace.
Ryohei lowered his head, buried his face in Yurine's fair neck, rubbed against it, and said with laughter in his voice: "So fragrant!"
"Mmm—! It tickles~!"
Yurine exclaimed softly sitting on Ryohei's lap. The warm breath on her neck made her shrink her shoulders with a smile, her body twisting along.
She extended her slender white hand and pushed symbolically against Ryohei's chest.
"I knew you guys would be like this... are you going to hug and gnaw at each other next?"
Jashin-chan, who was forced to eat a mouthful of dog food (PDA), stood aside, raised her chin slightly, and looked at the two with one hand on her waist.
"You are such a killjoy!"
Ryohei looked at Jashin-chan speechlessly and complained: "Also, what is gnawing at each other? Can you speak properly?"
"Being a killjoy is right!"
Jashin-chan grinned. Occasionally on a whim, she liked to do something bad, and added smugly:
"Actually, I'm very good at talking, my mouth is as sweet as honey... right, Medusa?" Saying this, she turned to look at Medusa on the other side.
"...Mn."
Medusa revealed a difficult smile, probably her conscience was suffering condemnation.
"Ryohei-kun."
Yurine patted Ryohei gently to attract his attention. When he looked over, she suggested with a smile:
"Let's find a time to smear some honey on Jashin-chan's mouth, and then let the bees entertain her properly."
As expected of you, Yurine!
(￣ ￣|| )
Ryohei sweated a little and cooperated: "That works."
"Works my ass!"
Jashin-chan quit immediately, clenched her fists, and protested: "I just disturbed your show of affection; do you have to retaliate against me like this? So mean!"
After speaking, she turned around and pounced on Medusa beside her, burying her face on her shoulder seeking comfort.
"Alright, be good..."
Medusa raised her hand to stroke Jashin-chan's back gently, turned her gaze to Ryohei and Yurine, and mediated: "Ryohei-kun and Yurine should be joking..."
"..." Ryohei remained noncommittal, paused, and said to Medusa: "Medusa, when we return to the human world, I'll treat you to a big meal."
"Really? Then I'll remember that!"
Medusa's charming purple eyes lit up, her voice carrying a hint of joy.
"Mn." Ryohei nodded with a chuckle.
...
Another half an hour passed before Lucoa, Pekola, and Yusa arrived at the first-floor lobby.
Originally, all of them had very fair skin, but now they all turned into a deep wheat color.
Ryohei looked over, stunned for a moment, and couldn't help saying: "You guys are?"
"Used tanning cream and a tanning bed to change skin color, how is it?"
Lucoa put one hand on her waist, posed like a professional model, and displayed herself generously.
"Pfft—!"
Sitting on Ryohei's lap, Yurine couldn't help but laugh out loud. She hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand, buried her face in Ryohei's chest, grabbed his clothes with the other hand, and laughed until her shoulders shook.
"Ahahaha—! So tacky!"
(≧∇≦)/
Jashin-chan held her stomach, pointing at Yusa with immense joy, laughing exceptionally happily: "Especially Yusa! Tanned so dark, but clothes so white, and hair still ice-blue... so ugly!"
She laughed until tears almost came out!
"Uh..."
Yusa, who was mocked, stiffened.
"..." Koji looked at her sister, several black lines hanging from her forehead.
For a moment, she didn't know what to say.
"Not exactly ugly..."
Ryohei looked at Yusa, who was almost shutting down, then looked at Lucoa and Pekola, who looked a bit like spirited girls (delinquents)—
The deep wheat skin color really didn't match their golden highlighted long hair.
A bit of Shibuya gal flavor.
"This skin color indeed doesn't suit you very well." Ryohei smiled at the three and added gently: "It doesn't match your outfits either, especially Yusa."
"Mn, I realized it when I looked in the mirror after finishing." Yusa put her hands on her waist and said somewhat dejectedly.
Lucoa and Pekola weren't dejected. The former said confidently: "I can handle this skin color, just need to put up my hair and change the outfit..."
Ryohei imagined along her line of thought and felt it seemed okay?
Yusa tilted her head from the side and said thoughtfully: "Then... I can do it too!"
It was mainly that her skin color clashed too much with the color of her chef's uniform and her hair color.
Redressing would work; after all, the foundation was there.
"Alright."
Ryohei patted Yurine, who had a smile on her lips, signaling her to get up from his lap. He also stood up and said: "Talk about outfits tomorrow; it's getting late, let's go back."
It was approaching eleven o'clock.
"Okay."
Everyone responded one after another, bid farewell to each other, and then separated in the parking lot of the beauty salon...
