Chapter 186: Umi and Swimsuit (1)
About ten minutes later, Umi returned to the inn.
Returning on a bike, she was ringing the bell with a happy expression as she approached me.
“I’m back. Did you behave while I was gone, Maki?”
“Of course. Woah, there’s a lot of stuff in that basket.”
“Mhm. They don’t serve lunch here, so Grandma gave me these so we could eat together. Let’s go over there and eat, c’mon!”
In the bike basket, there was a large four-tiered box and bottled tea. We were thinking of sharing some with Shizuku-san, but she was currently out for a delivery, so we left some in our room to give to her later.
Umi was about to change her clothes, so I left the room and waited at the front desk.
We would be going a little further from the inn, so I asked Shizuku-san’s mom, who was at the front desk, to let me borrow a bike. They had some on standby for deliveries.
It had been a while since I last rode a bike, but I’d like to think I still remembered how to ride one. Still, I rode around the grounds to get a feel for it before going. Not long after that, Umi finally came.
