Chapter 381 Hot Spring Time
"Hmm? Invite me to the hot springs? Sure, sure. Inazuma is also fine." Funina, who was watching the show in the teahouse below the stage, nodded happily and agreed very quickly.
"Okay, then let's go and complete the task now, not go to the hot springs." Wu Menghai happily took Funina's hand.
"Ah? Now, this kind of thing shouldn't be done at night!" When Funina heard Wu Menghai so anxious, she took the time to turn her head and look at Wu Menghai.
"That's right... then at night." Wu Menghai said.
I watched the show with Funina and happily applauded the performers on stage.
Wu Menghai found that this was a somewhat familiar plot performance.
Funina did not go to the opera every day, which she had seen countless times.
Recently, she has been watching a drama that she has watched countless times.
When Wu Menghai was with Funina.
At the same time, Ying, instigated by Hua Sanli, also took action. She found Wu Menghai and tricked him into bringing Hua Sanli along.
Seeing that it was still early, Ying, who was thrown into Inazuma by Wu Menghai in advance, couldn't leave Hanasari alone, so he planned to take her with him to explore Inazuma for a while.
In the evening, when they were packing up to leave... Sandoni appeared at Wu Menghai's store and ordered a drink.
So... that night in Inazuma Castle.
"Who am I? Where am I? What happened?"
That night, at the famous Akisa Sento in Inazuma, Wu Menghai sat huddled in the corner of the bathtub, his head bowed, wrapped in a towel.
I didn’t expect that I could actually experience the custom of mixed bathing.
Waiter: I’m sorry, since you all know each other, there are not many bathhouses, so there is only one empty large one.
So in this small bathhouse, he was the only boy, and there were several girls.
No, the small private bath for two people that we had originally planned just fell through.
But it’s also more exciting, more exciting... Hehehe.
"Well, Ying, why did you follow us too?" Wu Menghai looked at the yellow-haired girl next to him. She was relaxing with her eyes narrowed and her hands on the edge of the pool.
"I'm exhausted after this trip. You guys are allowed to enjoy yourself without me?" Ying tilted her head slightly and scooped up a handful of water in one hand while speaking.
The hot springs are really nice!
"Okay." Wu Menghai took a deep breath and wanted to calm down, but the air around him was fragrant and it was difficult to calm down.
"Then where did you kidnap this scumbag for me!?" Wu Menghai weakly raised his finger and pointed at a place a little further away.
There was Funina with a slightly blushing face and Yae Shenzi who was happily chatting with her.
"!"
Even though the sound was very small, the three words "trash fox" still made Yaezumi's two fox ears move slightly, and she noticed it keenly.
"Little guy over there, who are you talking about? Don't be so far away from us. It just so happens that I have something to ask you." Yae Shenzi said, leaning forward slightly, and the heat on the water surface became thicker.
Shine, shine!
Wu Menghai was almost blinded by the white flowers, and his words were slightly stumbling: "No, I didn't say who. Don't ask me, I don't know anything."
This scene is totally incomparable to playing together in a swimming pool or water park with many young ladies.
Plop plop~ "Hey~"
The happiest person was Paimon, who was also here at the moment. She was wearing a simple, thin white camisole dress, which was rare for her.
The bathtub was quite big for her. With a small swimming ring on her body, she could not only take a bath but also swim happily in it.
"Hehe~" "Hehe~"
Paimon was playing around, and I had to say she was the happiest.
There were not only the semi-intelligent little puppets that Wu Menghai had released that were not afraid of water, but also around them.
There is also a little girl who can interact normally, and Paimon is playing with her.
The girl Columbia also cooperated with her in the pool.
They are all friends, how can I not be happy?
"Bang~" Columbia hit Wu Menghai with her back when she was dodging the water splashed by Paimon.
Wu Menghai immediately grabbed her head and turned her around easily.
"Hey...yo, young lady. Aren't you a human-shaped fairy refrigerator? How come you can even join us in the hot springs?"
"Puff~ Human-shaped fairy refrigerator." Not far away, the whole body sank into the water, leaving only the head with a petal-shaped headband exposed. When Sandoni heard it, he squinted and smiled.
It's so funny, treating the girl as a refrigerator, hahaha.
But honestly, thinking back on the girl's recent small form, it can really be described as a refrigerator, very vivid.
"What are you doing~... Isn't this simple? Although my body as a little guy can be cooled now, I just need to seal its power temporarily." The girl Columbia raised her head slightly and watched Wu Menghai change from a huge and wide form of half his height to only his head above the water.
"Oh, so that's how it is. There's nothing wrong with fairies being able to control fairies." Wu Menghai nodded.
"Gurgle gurgle~" Sandone couldn't stop, especially after looking at Wu Menghai.
Now that she knew his identity, she couldn't help herself.
Poor boy, he didn’t know the girl’s “true face” yet, and was deceived badly!
"Huh?" Columbia turned her head just as she was about to say no. She heard some bad laughter and met Sandone's gaze.
"..." Sandonie fell silent for a moment, not wanting to hold her gaze for long. Her strange red eyes alone were becoming increasingly creepy and bizarre the more he looked at them.
Normally, she would not open her eyes, and for a long time at the beginning, I thought she was blind.
It was only when she became a tiny creature and met Wu Menghai that she would occasionally open her eyes.
It's just weird.
Columbia began to drift slowly towards Sandone, and Sandone immediately put away his expression and looked away with his dark blue eyes.
Yes, confirmed. Her eyes must be deceiving! Even her open eyes are fake. She has never opened her eyes in her true form in winter.
By the time Sandone's brows furrowed slightly, Columbia was already resting on top of her head.
"Sandoni." Wu Menghai called out at this time.
"Ah! I don't know!" Sandoni took his hands out of the bathtub and waved them.
"What do you mean you don't know?" Wu Menghai thought it was just a stress reaction from Sandone, and she should be shy, so he continued.
"I mean, why don't you just stay in your little den and study something instead of coming over here."
As soon as Wu Menghai mentioned this to her, Sandoni became excited: "What research?! I have nothing to research in this crappy place called Liyue! Even Catherine there... Anyway, I'm almost bored to death."
Indeed, for Sandoni, although Liyue is the most prosperous, in her eyes it is far inferior to her own winter.
"How dare you say that!" Liyue could still be called a shabby place? Wu Menghai had never seen anything like this in his life.
"So how come you two can come with me to take a hot spring bath?" Even now, Wu Menghai still doesn't understand. Just forget it if they want to come with me.
He just wanted to join in the fun and didn't care at all about those who were bathing with him.
Hearing Wu Menghai's question, Columbia immediately sat up, spread out one hand and said energetically: "I called little Sandoni here to relax with her."
This is a relaxing thing... Sandoni secretly complained in his heart.
But it's a rare opportunity to go along with you and see Inazuma's hot springs, a country farthest from winter that I would never normally visit. It's still a nice experience.
Columbia turned over and said, "Let me tell you, our Sandone has a very irregular sleep schedule. Even during her business trip to Liyue, I never saw her go to bed early or get up early."
"I remember one of the earliest times. She fell asleep while standing during an emergency meeting during the day. The Queen... ended up not being able to move for several days."
"..." Sandone had a blank expression on his face and closed his eyes. This seemingly innocent Colombia actually holds a grudge!
Didn’t you just couldn’t help laughing at someone from behind? Now you are ruthlessly exposing their dark history.
"Is the leg broken?" After hearing Columbia say this, Wu Menghai gradually blended in and adapted to the strange atmosphere.
Hearing such gossip, Ying was extremely interested and kept her ears stretched towards them to listen to everything: "I think it was hit so hard that the flower broke in two."
"Oh~" Yaesugi and Funina, who were chatting happily not far away, also stopped and listened secretly.
Columbia waved her hand. "No, I was frozen into an 'ice man'. I burned myself by the fire for two days and two nights before I recovered."
Oh my god, this is too amazing. Wu Menghai couldn't help but sigh. The legendary Ice Queen is indeed the ceiling of ice. It's a miracle that Sandonie is still alive.
It was too violent, but it was a pity that it was not the reason she had just thought of. Ying widened her eyes and shook her head silently with regret.
Everyone was shocked by the actions of the legendary Ice Queen, although they also felt sympathy for Sandoni.
"Hmph, that's the Queen's mercy. She just let me have a good sleep." Sandoni crossed his arms underwater.
Sandoni's words made everyone feel even colder.
The hot spring suddenly gave off an icy chill that lingered for a long time.
"Columbia, turn off that damned cooling button!" The chill initially came from within, but eventually it even spread to the physical realm. Wu Menghai hurriedly stopped her...
After that, everyone took a bath in silence for a few moments.
Columbia floated over to Wu Menghai again and whispered to him, "Speaking of which, after that, I realized she rarely appeared in public. She even brought that big machine with her to the meeting, and she sat on it the whole time."
"I told you, that's not a big machine, it's called Pronya." Sandone shouted to Columbia, leaving her speechless. The anger in his heart continued to soar for a while.
And the key point is that she had just started to enjoy the hot spring, otherwise she would have left angrily long ago.
"What? Its name is Bronya!" Wu Menghai exclaimed again.
The hands that Sandoni had originally stretched out to wave to Wu Menghai had unconsciously turned into a pair of fierce claws.
As for Columbia, she is my colleague, I can't lose my temper with her or fight with her, so I endure it. My current partner is standing guard at the door, she herself has little fighting ability and cannot beat her, so I endure it again.
But towards Wu Menghai, this despicable scum, a man on the side of the road, the pent-up anger was instantly transferred.
Sandone clenched his paws into fists. "It's Plonia, P!lonia. I told you about it once when we first met, and you mentioned your Bronya again. If you're deaf and have a bad memory, I wouldn't mind letting Plonia help you recover your memory. It's right outside the door."
"Really? Well, sorry, sorry... I will definitely remember it next time!" Wu Menghai begged for mercy, but he was still confused in his heart.
Huh? Did it really happen before? He really couldn't remember. Was it at the beginning or during the few "secret" meetings afterwards?
Forget it, anyway, for those he had little contact with, it was enough for him to remember their names. As for the names of their different companions, he would have to repeat them in his ears more often.
Columbia finished her hot springs soak early. This wasn't her real self; she'd already been in the hot springs for a while. She didn't need to soak all the time; she just wanted to experience it, so she just lay on Sandone's head and logged off.
Feeling the quiet in his head, Sandoni reached out and took her down at the same time, only to find that there was indeed no response, she was really gone.
He quickly threw the tiny Columbia with both hands and hit Wu Menghai's face accurately.
Sandone didn't want to see Columbia again, and she didn't want to be bothered by this damn pendant. She was so pissed off, and even this lousy clone wasn't enough to discourage her. She turned away and out of sight.
After that, everyone began to quietly enjoy the rare hot spring time.
Wu Menghai covered his face with his hands. All he saw were their outstretched arms and shoulders. Okay, okay, everyone has a reason. Come on, let's all soak together, it's delicious!
By the way, can I take away the hot spring water afterward?
But in the final analysis, so many hateful women shamelessly follow him around.
He had absolutely no chance to interact with Funina!
For such a long time, apart from the two words she exchanged when she first entered the room, the usual "okay, okay, no, no," Funina hadn't spoken to him again.
After a while, Yae Shenzi was actually a little tactful and led Funina, who was the most embarrassed person in the audience and had a blushing face, to slowly move to Wu Menghai.
Anyway, she had almost the same conversation with Funina, and also heard a lot of gossip and some of Wu Menghai's deeds.
At this moment, everyone gathered from the two scattered long sides to the corner edges.
"Don't just focus on soaking in the hot springs. After all this talk, you must be thirsty now. Come over and try our tea and sake." Yae Shinko said as she bent backwards, and her two long white legs emerged from the water as she exerted force backwards.
After saying this, Yae Shinko reached out from outside the pool and reached for the two wooden plates that the waitress had brought up not long ago.
This wooden tray contains tea and wine, which can be placed on the water in front of you while soaking in the hot spring so that people can taste them at the same time.
At this time, everyone came down from the deep water and sat on the platform where only half of their bodies were visible.
The different shades of fair skin complement each other, and below the key parts are only wrapped with a thin white bath towel.
"It tastes good!" Wu Menghai took a deep breath, picked up the sake poured by Yae Shen Zi and poured it into his mouth.
Funina clutched the towel tightly. She wanted to open up and chat with everyone else, just like everyone else. But it was the first time so many people were exposing themselves to each other, especially with Wu Menghai among them. This was the key. The reality was even more embarrassing than she had initially imagined.
If there weren't a few girls accompanying her, she would have fainted immediately in front of you.
