Chapter 323 – @41. Late Night Hot Spring Yobai – A Man I Don’t Know Well Sneaks Under the Futon at Night
Huh? What?
For a moment I had to doubt what I was hearing.
“Wait.”
Rayna reached over her tree and pulled out something of hers.
“Here. The telescope is hidden here.”
She took out her telescope and handed it to me.
“You want me to steal it?”
“Yes!”
Reina’s voice was so bright and cheery that it was hard to understand for a moment what her intentions were.
“What are you doing? That woman with bobbed hair at the end. She’s the most beautiful of all the guests here. See you soon. Don’t regret it later.”
At Rayna’s urging, I had no choice but to hold the telescope to my eyes.
Of course, at that distance, thanks to Mastercard 〈 Hawk Eye 〉, I could see the opponent as if right in front of me without a telescope, but I couldn’t ignore this girl’s sincerity.
“By the way, I covered myself with a towel anyway so there’s nothing to see?”
“That’s true, but there are often people who are just naked at night when no one else is around.”
Reina was talking privately, as if she were telling a very big secret.
“And the building on the left is the women’s bathroom. The window is open, so you can see clearly, right?”
“Yes…”
“You can see the girls bathing there. How is it? Cool, isn’t it?”
“I see.”
“Then come here. Don’t move too fast. Even if there are a lot of trees, if you move fast, you’ll be noticed.”
Raina took my hand again and walked along the hill.
“That’s the guest room.”
Without her explanation, she could see the rooms right down the hill.
“You can see the inside very clearly from here. At night, you can see it better because the lights are turned on in each room. They are usually couples, so when you come here, you can see very lively scenes. Cheek.”
Rayna was excited and explained to me.
I forgot what to say for a moment.
So, did the best place mean a good place to spy on customers like this?
“Even the bathrooms in each room are visible from here.”
The rooms in the inn all had large windows for viewing the forest and garden, as did the bathrooms.
And the side facing the forest was not a place where people could reach, so there was no reason to cover the window.
At least that’s how it looked from the room.
“You can see them having sex or showering, you can see them here.”
Now, Reina had a very proud face.
However, it was difficult for me to find in her the image of a woman in her perverted lust.
Rather, I wondered if that was the expression of a middle school boy who was informing his best friend of a secret spying spot.
“How is it? Awesome?”
Reina had a face begging for a quick compliment.
“Yes. That’s great. I’ll have to come and see it at night.”
“I mean. There’s so much to see here.”
She was still holding my hand, and she was demanding more compliments from me.
She wondered if she had her tail on it, she would be wagging it from side to side quite frantically by now.
Without realizing it, I reached out my hand and stroked her hair.
“What. What is it? I’m not some kind of kid…”
Reina’s face turned red.
“Thank you. For giving me this gift.”
Ah! Come to think of it, she remembers what she said last time.
She probably said that she gives her something precious?
Could it be that this place is precious to her?
If Reina is a 15-year-old boy, he must be her precious thing.
If I knew of such a wonderful secret place, I would never have told anyone.
“By the way, is this a place only you know?”
“Yes. I found it while walking around the garden. If we don’t come the way we came, we’ll never get here.”
“Aha! It’s a real secret place.”
“Right?”
But why are her eyes so bright?
Reina stood there staring me in the eye for a while.
And her face was getting more and more red.
For some reason, this cute little girl was shy, and even then she wouldn’t take her eyes off me.
I was also looking at her clear eyes with a happy heart.
Even on a dark night without a single light, it felt very good just to look at her clear eyes that seemed to sparkle.
“That’s right. Oh, I have something for you.”
Suddenly she turned her face away and spoke her words.
“Huh? A present?”
“I told you last time. Next time you come…”
“You said you would give me something very precious.”
“Did you remember?”
Rayna smiled brightly and looked at me again.
“How could I forget it? How long have I waited for the day I will see Reina again.”
“Blood! Liar!”
Why do women say that when they see me, they lie like that?
“It’s not a lie. I couldn’t stand it because I was so curious about what Reina said was precious.”
“Okay. I’ll trust you.”
“But didn’t you mean this place? Something precious?”
“Really. That makes sense… Um… Yes. This is a very precious place too. Anyway, not.”
Reina put her hand inside her kimono as she spoke.
And as she took it out again, there was a small object in her hand.
“This is it.”
Reina handed it to me.
Upon receiving it, it was a rectangular pouch-like item made of cloth half the size of Reina’s palm. There is a golden string hanging from the top, and a small curved bead that looks like one side of the Taegeuk pattern is also dangling.
It seemed to be something like a women’s norigae or an accessory that holds something like an amulet.
A goblin is drawn on the square pocket with very delicate embroidery.
“It’s a wonderful thing. But is the thing drawn here a goblin?”
“It’s Shutendoji.”
“Is it Shutendo?”
I think I heard it somewhere…
Come to think of it, it seemed that such words were among the words Suzume, the hostess, had said yesterday.
“He is the captain of the demons. He was once the king of the hundred demons who disturbed the world. But he was subdued by Raikou, the founder of the Minamoto clan.”
“You’re an amazing goblin.”
“That’s right. Somehow the old man seems to be similar to Shuten-douji, so I embroidered it myself. Do you like it?”
Uh?
So you’re saying I’m similar to the goblin who was subjugated by your ancestors?
“That’s cool…”
“I knew you’d like it.”
Raina smiled brightly, not knowing my feelings.
“And the magatama (曲玉) on the top of the omamori was given to me by my mother when I was little. She told me to give it to her if she ever found a man she really wanted to give it to.”
Ah! So, it seems that the precious thing is not the pouch with the picture of the goblin, but the gemstone.
“Can you give me something so precious?”
I was honestly bewildered.
It’s like a treasure that should be given to a loved one…
“It’s okay. It’s not expensive. I bought it at a souvenir shop when we went to Kyoto together.”
Ah… Then it doesn’t seem to be a great proof.
“But mom…”
“At that time, there was a boy at school that I liked. She was originally going to give it to him. She must have known her mother.”
“By the way? Didn’t you give it to me?”
“The day I was going to give it to her, she kept teasing me. So I held it in my hand and punched her in the nose. Then she got a nosebleed and started crying. Well… I fell out of love that day. I gave it to a manly man. I wanted to.”
“Haha. I see.”
Still I didn’t know how to accept her gift.
I don’t think it’s a big meaning, but since I said it’s precious, it seems to have meaning.
“Don’t you like it?”
“No. I really like it. At least you mean I’m manly? Like this goblin.”
“That’s right. The man is very manly. I felt it while spying here.”
Reina raised her hand and pointed to the cabin below.
“Huh?”
“That day, four pairs of uncles came together.”
“Yes…”
I was somehow afraid of what this woman would say next.
“And you killed all the women who came with you?”
“Eh… Did you see that too?”
“You took all the women from other men, didn’t you?”
“Haha…”
“It was like the real Shuten-douji. Originally, Shuten-douji was a very handsome man. To the point that women all over the city got love sick.”
Reina continued her speech with her excitement.
“I see…But I’m not that handsome…”
“It’s okay. Shuten-douji later got cursed and became a very scary face.”
That’s not a compliment…
The map of Shutendo… That’s…
“When I saw the old man casually hugging other men’s women, I wondered if he was really Shuten Doji’s reincarnation.
What’s more, he’s tall, big, and terrifying in appearance.”
“Should I say thank you?”
“Anyway, at first I thought he was just a scary guy, but looking at that, he somehow seems like a real ikemen.”
“Ikemen… You mean a handsome man, right?”
Maybe me?
Is that a bean pod?
“Hmm… It also has that meaning. It’s a much broader category than that. In Korean, it means a cool guy anyway. Regardless of his face, any guy with a great aura is an Ikemen.”
It was a little bit good.
It never meant that I looked good.
“Come to think of it, this is a great gift. This. You mean I’m a scary and manly ikemen like this goblin?”
“That’s right! Ikemen Shutendoji.”
Reina was delighted and took my hand and shook it wildly.
“I don’t know if I can accept such a precious gift.”
“Don’t like it? Then?”
Reina asked in a disappointed voice.
“No. It can’t be. It’s not that I got a really nice present from you.”
“That’s all right. A gift should make the recipient more happy than the giver, right?”
“Yes. I will never forget this.”
“Now. There’s only one place left.”
Reina took my hand and started walking again.
And the place we arrived was a place overlooking the swimming pool on the north side of the room.
“The swimming pool for the general rooms opened after Mr.
There were two swimming pools in all of the hot spring inn harmony.
One is a private swimming pool attached to a deluxe room, and the other is a swimming pool for general rooms that we are looking at now.
It is still midsummer, so if you want to play somewhere, the swimming pool is perfect.
Even now, there were about 10 people playing in the pool.
“The place you can see over there is the women’s locker room.”
I was able to find it right away without Rayna saying anything.
“Unfortunately, it’s made of reflective glass, so you can’t see inside. But in the evening, I turn on the lights and look in.”
“But you don’t have anything to regret, right? If you really want to see it, you can go into the women’s locker room with confidence, right?”
“Your uncle, Nozoki… You don’t seem to know the beauty of peeping.”
Rayna looked at me with a puzzled expression and said.
“Ah! Yes… Of course spying would be fun. But since you’re a woman, wouldn’t it be better to spy on a man?”
“It used to be like that, but it’s not like that anymore. How to say, I’ve lost my inspiration. After seeing Mr.
Reina grinned.
She is a woman who is difficult to grasp.
Are you interested in me? Or is it just that they are best for peeking?
“So, from now on, this is the uncle’s secret place.”
She said as if she was going to hand over her secret place to me.
“Anyway, at this time, the hot springs have the most attractions. Let’s go. Let’s go.”
“Yes…”
Maybe because of her momentum, I was being dragged around by Reina.
And we sat down at a place overlooking the hot spring we had come to first.
A woman was just undressing in the bathroom.
To entertain Reina, I peered through her telescope for a moment as she undressed and washed herself in her bathtub.
She wasn’t pretty, but she was a young woman who didn’t fall for her looks, so she really had a taste for spying.
I felt grateful to Rayna again.
All the while, Reina was humming an unknown song of hers, resting her head on my shoulder.
I don’t know why, but Reina seems pretty excited.
