[CH.52] Summer Beach Recreation (Part 7)
"Aren't you going to the sea, Director?"
"Well, I can't exude that youthful charm anymore, you know."
"Haha..."
"Hanamura-kun, you really need to come up with more clever lines. You give off such a virgin vibe."
"I-I'm not a... v-virgin!"
Damn, the Manager is definitely better at this!
But honestly, I'm grateful for this kind of exchange. To be honest, those two are so cute that I can't even look at them...
I truly appreciate having older colleagues.
"Well, Nishina and Hinata are just too cute. I understand how you feel."
"Did you also get surprised when those two came to Hamayama?"
"Yeah. I thought they might have mistaken us for a talent agency, considering we got new graduate Hina and transfer Nishina."
"If the Manager were to manage them, it seems like it could work."
"If those two have the motivation, that path could be enjoyable too. Hanamura-kun, would you be the chauffeur?"
"If the Manager decides to go independent, I'd be interested."
We continued with such silly talk.
"Isn't it more fun to hang out with those two?"
"Ordinarily, that might be the case, but... I'm just not good with pretty girls. My face turns bright red, and I can't even hold a conversation, so I'm here."
"What do you mean? Are you saying I'm not pretty?"
"Manager, you're incredibly beautiful. ...But since you're my boss and older, maybe it's okay to show my embarrassing side."
"I'm not your sister, you know."
"Oh, come on. That's not a bad thing. I've always admired having a sister. I'd like to have a younger sister too."
"...I might have become one if I hadn't moved."
"Huh?"
"It's nothing."
Nishina-san is a colleague, but she's two years younger. I don't want to show my pathetic side to the two younger ones. It's a matter of a man's pride, after all.
"It's getting hot, isn't it?"
"Oh, are you going to swim?"
"I don't want to because it would ruin my makeup."
The manager stood up, took off her hoodie, and gracefully reclined back on her chair.
I thought that the manager, being older, would be composed, but apparently, it's not that easy. She looked really good in her black high-neck bikini. Despite her petite stature, she had a sizable bust, and her limbs were well-proportioned with just the right amount of thickness. Somehow, it gave off the impression of a meticulously crafted body...
"I'm fine with being your side dish, but do it where I can't see it," she teased.
"W-What are you saying?"
"Hehe, Hanamura-kun... teasing you is fun."
"Really..."
"Manager."
"Hmm, what is it?"
"I'm glad I transferred here. I've learned a lot, and working with everyone every day is enjoyable. So, I'm satisfied working under your leadership, Manager."
"I-Is that so?"
"Yes! Oh, Manager... there's some dirt in your hair."
I believe it was a well-intentioned gesture. I had assumed that there were things the manager wouldn't mind doing that the other two wouldn't, so I couldn't help but touch her hair.
More than the fact that I removed the dirt, I was drawn to her dark hair with its transparent sheen. Unconsciously, I found myself running my fingers through her pleasantly voluminous hair.
"Hey, uh..."
I realized the incredibly inappropriate thing I had done, given that it didn't fit the demeanor of the Manager at all. Touching a woman's head was something I only did when I was writing fiction.
But for some reason, my mind was unusually sharp.
"Wait... are you blushing, Manager?"
"!?"
The manager turned her head away and hid her face.
"Even though you're Hanamura-kun..."
"Oh... I'm sorry."
While I felt apologetic, a slight sense of superiority emerged because I had gained a little advantage.
"Hey, are you embarrassed?"
"Stop it!"
The manager said while averting her gaze and covering her face.
"Even though you're Hanamura-kun, you've been staring at Nishina and Hina's chests since earlier!"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Please, stop that!"
How did she find out?
It turned out that while I was conversing with the manager, my gaze had been fixed on the two playing by the seaside.
And thus, we concluded our exchange, both parties conceding a bit. When Nishina-san and Kuhou-san returned, they pointed out the atmosphere, but we managed to divert their attention.
With the sun setting and swimming no longer possible, we had only about an hour of beach enjoyment. After changing back into our regular clothes, we had a quick dinner at a snack restaurant within Hamayama Seaside Beach and then checked into our hotel.
"Reservation for Kuhou-san, correct? We'll prepare for 4 guests in one room."
"Wait."
Guess who said that?
Yes, it was me.
"Huh? Wait, so we won't have separate rooms?"
"It's around 25,000 yen per person for one night with a four-person room."
"Yeah, it was like that last year too."
I see!
When I mentioned that I was joining the training camp, Nishina-san and Kuho-san were perplexed because it meant we'd be in mixed-gender rooms. Damn, I should have confirmed that.
"It's probably not good for men and women to share..."
"I've mentally prepared myself..."
"Well... It's a bit uncomfortable, but there are two of us, and we can have separate areas for changing and all, so I think it's okay."
Kuhou-san and Nishina-san were being considerate.
"Hanamura-kun doesn't seem like he has any intention of attacking us. But please don't sleep naked."
"I won't!"
Damn you, Manager... She had to say something so accurate!
"Hanamura-kun, it's okay for you to have a separate room, but it'll cost 25,000 yen for one person."
"Um... I'm sorry, but all the single rooms are fully booked, and the only available option is the suite next to the family room that our other guests are using..."
"How much is that?"
"It would be 50,000 yen for one night."
Double the price, huh.
What should I do? What should I do...
"Hanamura-kun, make a decision. Are you going to the four-person room or pay 50,000 yen for a single room?"
I decided...
"I'll stay in the 50,000 yen room."
"I feel like I lost..."
"Do you really dislike staying with us that much?"
Shut up.
Of course, I do. I don't want to hear snoring or see anyone's sleeping habits. Plus, I wouldn't be able to sleep in the same room as three beautiful women!
