Chapter 189: A Promise Between Men
After confirming that they were gone, Umi and I turned back the way we came. Umi went back to Mizore-san’s house first though. She needed to return the bike and the boxes first after all. So, I went ahead to the inn first.
“Ah, welcome back, Maki-kun!”
After parking the bike in its original place, I entered the front desk. Shizuku-san was there in her work attire and greeted me.
It seemed like there were guests other than us today and she was taking care of them.
“How was your date with Umi-chan? Fun?”
“Yes. The water was clean and there was no one else there, we played in the water to our heart's content.”
“Great! Anyway, the baths are ready if you want to use them. You can pick between the indoor and the open-air one, just let me know. Oh, right, where did Umi-chan go?”
“She went back to Mizore-san’s house to return her bike and plenty of other stuff… She said she’ll come back with Riku-san.”
“I see. Then, we’ll talk about dinner preparation when they get back.”
