The deep mountain bathhouse in the Far Moon Resort.
The pool wasn't very large.
It was surrounded by tall wooden walls, roughly the size of a medium-sized swimming pool. However, the neatly constructed bathhouse looked quite exquisite. The faint scent of sulfur and the swirling mist added a certain atmosphere to the place.
So comfortable～！
The sensation of the hot water enveloping her body made Nakiri Alice unconsciously think this way.
“Ah～”
The sigh that escaped her lips was very distant.
Not only that, the sound of splashing water around her sounded like her ears were covered with a membrane, the gentle, soft "pop, pop" of the sliding bubbles touching her ears and skin.
She was currently in a state of primal innocence.
Her closed eyes, her full bosom, and her slender waist, the water flowed across her skin, her beautiful hair spread out in a fan shape, and she swayed in the water along with her limbs.
Whoosh, whoosh…
Huh?
Hearing the sound of flowing water coming from beside her, Nakiri Alice sat up and looked over curiously.
Fang Ming Jing quickly swam past her.
“Come on, cheer up, you're almost there… good, you made it.”
The very relaxed laughter of a young girl, Nakiri Erina spread her hands and caught Fang Ming Jing who swam in front of her.
“That's two rounds done.” Fang Ming Jing, who was caught, gave a sweet smile.
“Yeah, Ming Jing-kun is learning quickly.”
“Am I good?”
“You are.”
“I say, you should be careful of passing out if you practice swimming in a hot spring.”
Nakiri Alice couldn't help but remind him.
Due to the water temperature, excessive exercise in a hot spring pool can easily cause a lack of oxygen to the brain, leading to fainting. After Nakiri Alice's warning, Nakiri Erina didn't dare let Fang Ming Jing swim for long and held him while sitting in the pool.
“As expected of a high-grade natural hot spring, just soaking for a while, it feels like my skin is glowing.”
“Huh? Isn't it just because of the reflection of the water surface?”
“Ugh… you're too blunt to say that.”
“Hehe, but it's been a long time since I felt this relaxed.”
“Yeah.”
Nakiri Alice looked up with a look of excitement.
Outside the tall wooden walls, the moon was particularly bright tonight, the silver light diffused faintly outwards, even the colorless clouds nearby were bathed in a bright glow.
It's a pity it's not autumn now, otherwise, watching the red leaves reflected by the moonlight, the scene would be even more pleasant.
“Erina-nee, how long are we going to soak?”
Xiao Sheng Zi looked up at Nakiri Erina.
“Until 10:30.”
“We can still soak for a long time.”
“Yeah, but Ming Jing-kun…”
“What?”
“Your hair looks so pretty now.”
Xiao Sheng Zi couldn't help but show a puzzled expression.
In the heat of the hot spring, his damp, wet hair was tinged with the glow of the stars and moon, black and silky, as if it was emitting a faint luminescence. It was a different kind of beauty than the shiny and soft look it had in the sunlight during the day...
“It's true, eh.”
Nakiri Alice couldn't help but lean in, her slender index finger poked at his soft little face, “Come on, little Ming Jing, did you eat cuteness to grow up?”
“No way, I'm clearly a tough guy.”
“Pfft.”
A chuckle couldn't be held back.
Seeing such a cute child thinking he was a tough guy, Nakiri Erina and Nakiri Alice couldn't help but smile, especially Nakiri Alice couldn't help but pinch his little face.
“Your face is so soft too～”
“….. Woo”
Fang Ming Jing didn't resist.
He quietly snuggled his face into Erina's arms, being well-behaved.
Poke… poke… poke…
Nakiri Alice couldn't stop herself from being pushy.
Fang Ming Jing didn't like this.
But before he could resist, Nakiri Erina reached out to protect him and turned him to the side, facing away from Nakiri Alice.
“Don't bully Ming Jing-kun, Alice.”
“What are you talking about, Erina, you're being so stingy.”
Sshh…
Xiao Sheng Zi secretly stuck his head out, his two little hands clasped together in Nakiri Alice's strange gaze, then he pressed down, and a small stream of water squirted out, drenching her face.
“Alright, you actually attacked me -”
Caught off guard, Nakiri Alice reacted and splashed water back in laughter.
But Fang Ming Jing had already slipped away before that.
He swam away to the distance with a chuckle, and Nakiri Alice also chased after him without hesitation.
“Don't run!”
“I won't!”
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…
In the small hot spring pool, a curtain of water suddenly flew up, Nakiri Alice kept chasing after Fang Ming Jing, splashing water at him.
Nakiri Erina watched this scene with amusement.
Suddenly, as he swam past her, Fang Ming Jing also splashed her a few times, instantly soaking the hair that the girl had carefully tied up.
“Ming Jing-kun…!”
“Erina-nee, come chase me too.”
“You're really -!”
With a smile, Nakiri Erina also joined the chase.
Although he had only learned to swim recently, Fang Ming Jing was very fast and flexible. It took Erina and Alice a lot of effort to finally catch him.
Nakiri Alice grabbed him, giggling and scratching his waist, the unbearable tickle made Xiao Sheng Zi twist his body and struggle while laughing.
“Ugh, don't, haha… Erina-nee, save me, ugh, haha -”
“Who told you to be so naughty?”
“Haha… I won't anymore, don't… haha”
“It's no use giving up now.”
“Ugh -!”
The next moment,
A wet feeling suddenly appeared on both sides of his little face.
“啾!” Nakiri Erina and Nakiri Alice each left a light kiss on his face.
Fang Ming Jing suddenly became quiet.
