One night. As I was wrapping up my part-time job, i was having a video call with Mikiri.
『Mamoru. I just realized something amazing』
「What is it?」
My serious female friend made my spine straighten with her gaze.
After a long pause, Mikiri traces her chin with her delicate finger and said;
『We’re having too much sex in school, don’t you think?』
「You’re right」
『The roof, behind the gym, and on the rooftops. Also, an empty classroom too. It’s rare that we do it on bed』
「Well, our families have their connections, and time just isn’t convenient for us」
『I won’t deny that. But I feel like we’re doing it at school too much. We don’t hold back at all』
True. It sounds like I lack the sense of integrity. Furthermore, I also did it with Tochika-chan at the infirmary. We’ve been causing trouble all over school.
But, Mikiri also understands the situation. In short, she’s about to make a suggestion.
「Don’t beat around the bush Mikiri, get to the point」
I urged her and Mikiri moved on to the main topic.
『I think it’s about time we made our debut, at a love hotel, don’t you think?』
「――――！！」
Love Hotel. Love hotel, you say? That’s hardly a place where lovers quietly nurture their love ーー That’s far too exposed!
「You sure? We’re not lovers, but you want to use a love hotel?」
『It’s fine. Rather, what’s the issue? It’s not like the sweets shop where they check if you’re a couple』
「Makes sense」
Actually, to be honest, I did think about asking her, “Why don’t we try going to a love hotel sometime?” but I figured Mikiri—who’s against dating—might not be too thrilled about it, so I decided against it. Mikiri-san, you have a flexible way of thinking.
『I’ve been working part-time and saved up a decent amount of money. We’ve got to use it』
「Right. Let’s go」
『While at it, why don’t we invite Tochika-chan too and let’s go there together』
『Woah!!!』
Tochika-chan’s joining in? Oh, I can’t! Dear customer, that’s too intense!
「I need to save up more」
『Can you even hold it?]』
ーAnd so, on the day itself. I was waiting at the station entrance at 11 in the morning. I got brand new clothes and shoes, and got my hair cut nicely. Is it too much effort? No, it’s our firs ttime at a love hotel. It’s a hotel, but also has the love prefix. I got to tidy up.
I was checking myself with my phone’s camera to get a good look, when two beautiful young women came out of the gate.
「Yo. You’re early」
「Senpai, let’s have fun today」
「Ooh…」
I look at Mikiri and Tochika-chan and can’t help but be amazed. Their casual outfits were contrasting. Mikiri’s dressed casually, T-shirt, skirt, and sneakers. Meanwhile, Tochika-chan’s wearing a tight fit jumper and skirt combo. Both of them look amazing! I kept pressing the heart button repeatedly in my mind.
Mikiri smiled wryly.
「Mamoru, aren’t you overprepared for this? We’re taking them off later anyway」
「I’m the type who goes for form over function」
「I think it’s cool! Uhm, you look cool」
Tochika-chan has a lacking vocabulary. That’s cute of her.
「Come to think of it, I haven’t seen Tochika-chan in plain clothes in a while. The last time was our first meeting, right?」
「That’s right. Ah, is it weird? Onee-chan picked this out for me」
「Not at all. It suits your pure look Tochika-chan」
「EH, ehehe」
I extended a thumbs up and Tochika-chan smiled shyly. Ugh, so cute!!
I was being bashful but someone pulled the hem of my shirt. I glanced sideways and Mikiri turned away with a sulking expression.
「What about mine?」
「Well, that’s not the…yeah, you’re cute」
「Hmm. I see」
Mikiri pulled her hands away from my shirt and straightened up her face. But, her lips were relaxed. She’s happy.
I cleared my throat.
「Should we eat out first? Or should we order from inside the hotel?」
「That would be too expensive. There’s a family restaurant nearby you know? Let’s go there」
「I’ll leave it to you two」
And so, I went with Mikiri’s idea and headed to a nearby family restaurant. The air conditioning is cranked up and it’s fairly crowded, especially since it’s midday. We reserved a table from the register’s touchscreen. Then, we settled into the four-person box seat and ordered on the touch screen. It feels like it’s all touchscreen these days, and it lost it’s elegance.
「I find it easier to use a touchscreen. You don’t need to call the staff every time」
「Me too. I’m shy after all」
「Well, that makes sense」
「Although, I don’t like ordering things by phone. I don’t go to stores like those」
「I get you」
We were chatting amongst ourselves and a dish was brought over. We received our dishes from the serving robot. Mikiri and I ordered pasta. I had meat sauce, and Mikiri cod roe pasta.
「I’m going to exercise after this so I’m keeping it light」
「True」
「Huh?」
Tochika-chan sounds surprised. Mikiri and I looked at her at the same time and saw sizzling hamburger. Tochika-chan turned red.
「U-Uhm. I just ordered what I usually eat」
「Tochika, you seem to order a lot when coming here」
「O-Onee-chan. Not in front of Senpai」
I laughed.
「It’s fine. I love girls who enjoy their meal」
「Mamoru-senpai ♡ So kind」
「Mamoru’s spoiling Tochika a lot」
Mikiri smiled wryly. Well, you got to be kind to the youngs, right?
And so, we had our meal.
「So good ♡ Delicious ♡」
Mikiri’s right, Tochika-chan was shoveling the burger steak quickly. However, I find it impressive how they ate, there’s a certain nuance.
「Mamoru. How’s the meat sauce?」
「It’s good. Your cod roe seems good too」
「Let’s share」
Mikiri and I split our pasta. This is nice.
『Thanks for the meal!』
We paid the bill and left the store. I feel full and happy. Now, to satisfy our lust. What a luxurious holiday.
Our group set to the hotel district which we don’t frequent. I did some online research looking for a reputable love hotel. As I stepped in front of the hotel, tension seized me, making it hard to speak.
「You can stay at hotels even as students, right?」
「It’s fine. We’re in casual clothes. You can’t come in only if you’re wearing uniform」
「I-I’m nervous」
I held Tochika-chan’s hand, smiled at her, and escorted her.
「Let’s go」
「Yeah」
「Yes」
Before I knew it, Mikiri was also holding my other hand. I’ve got two flowers in both hands. A couple who happened to be passing by were looking at us enviously.
ーーAnd so, we stepped into our first love hotel in our lives!
