Our special night

I was taking my clothes off and putting a towel around my hips as I step out to the thermal waters, I walked to the washing place first where I sit down and started to put some shampoo in my head along with putting soap around my body, when I finished cleaning myself, I let a bucket of warm water drop in from my head and repeated until I didn’t had any soap in my body.

I went to the thermal waters and slowly made my way into, letting out a gentle moan as I was sitting down and leaning my back, letting a big part of my body get into the water.

“It’s been a while since I came here… I don’t think I had the same resistance as before so I should probably just stick around for a bit… but this feels really good…”

“Is it really that good?”

The moment I heard the familiar voice I was looking in the front with two scenarios in my head, I could turn back and look or I could keep staring at the wall

Many times, in my life I have been upon a different treat, slaying beast, conquering countries, defeating gods, but never I had to make such a difficult choice, not even when I ask that girl out in that VN, all the girls were pretty but I am now the opportunity to see the prettiest of them all, if I turn back would she get mad? Could I get out on my own? Am I being disrespectful? No, it would be even more disrespectful to not look.

“Azura?”

I will turn back, but no, maybe she’s not wearing a towel and it’s in his normal clothing, then I am just doing an entire movie inside of my head, but why would she be here if she doesn’t have a towel?

Evelyn put the toe of her foot and let out a very girly sound, I snapped out of my weird imagination and turned back, she was wearing a towel around her entire body and I held her hand.

“Don’t worry, Ev”

Evelyn nodded and she slowly put her entire foot in, I guided her into the thermal waters and she entered completely. I took my distance but she got close to me every time.

“Why are you getting away?”

“For nothing…”

“Heh, am I that attractive?”

“What’s with that smug face?... You are…”

“Ha… ha… I see…”

We were both embarrassed but got close to each other.

“The attendant told me that we would be the only ones in here… she helped change and… told me that I should tell a line like that”

“I know that you want to play around but that doesn’t suit you…”

“Am I not…”

“No that’s not what I mean… How do you feel?”

“It hurts a bit at the start… but now I feel like I am floating, it is strange to me”

“Good to hear, wanna see something awesome, look up”

Evelyn looked up and gasped as she took her hands to her mouth.

The stars were shining brighter than any other night, the thermal waters were high so it felt like the stars were a bit closer.

“This place, I used to visit with my family every vacation that my dad had, it serves a ton of purposes, for families, couples, friends… I didn’t know it was here until I made research to know where that place with the strange symbols was”

“I see, so this is the type of break that you had with your family… lovely…. Did you have fun with them?”

“Yeah… Although sometimes I caused trouble because I wanted to stay a bit more inside the waters, but overall, I had a fun experience… I do miss them a lot”

“I am sure you do, Azura…”

Evelyn leaned in my arm and I jumped a bit, I wanted to look down but I resisted, until I heard her heavy breathing, I looked at the side and saw her bright red.

“Dammit, it is your first time here, I forgot, can you walk?”

Evelyn moved her head from left to right, I looked at her and held her by the cheeks, making her look at me.

“If you excuse me… sorry”

I submerge my head in the water and took Evelyn from her bottoms, I put her out of the water and then I put myself out, I try to lift her up but she was heavy for me, I could feel how my arms got stretch every step I took as I went to the women's room, but I manage and opened the door.

There were a couple of women changing and they covered themselves, they looked at me angry but when they saw that I had Evelyn in my arms they tone changed.

“Help me out please…”

“Don’t worry, we have it from here, she just needs to cold down”

“Thank you”

When I put Evelyn in the floor the door was shut down immediately and I went to the men’s changing room

“Man… I should know…”

I put on my yukata and went outside with a towel in my head and looking for a bottle of milk, I purchased two and waited in the lounge to receive any news.

I saw Evelyn laughing with other girls and when she saw me, she said goodbye to her friends and came running at me. She had the same yukata as I but in pink, she looked really cute and I didn’t notice until now but her hair grew longer.

“Hey… sorry for what happened back there”

“No, I should be the one apologizing. Ev, I should it notice but I was thinking in something completely unnecessary”

“Oh… do not worry, I probably should get more careful next time… hehe”

“Yeah… next time…”

Both of us stay in silent but I extended my arm and offer her a bottle of milk

“It’s a tradition to drink milk after taking a bath in the thermal waters”

“Oh, I understand”

Evelyn took it and started to take small sips

“No, no, you are doing it wrong, you are supposed to take all of it, like this”

I started to chug in my bottle of milk and Evelyn followed me, I let out a sigh of relief and Evelyn was coughing a bit and I patted her back.

“Let’s go, dinner should be ready in any time”

“Yes…”

Evelyn walked in front of me and I got hypnotize but she looked back flustered

“Do I look weird?” —she said while playing with her hair.

“No, it does suit you, you are like a supermodel”

“A supermodel?”

“Right… mmmh… you just look like a real guardian of the temples”

“Am I?! Am I not disrespecting, right?!”

“Of course not, miss”

The attendant was at the door of our room waiting for us

“Sorry for the wait”

“No, you are just in time, we just get ahead of ourselves a bit, take a seat and miss, you look wonderful in our yukatas, I am glad that we found one for your size, would you be interested in pose for us later”

“Maybe in another occasion”

I step in and laugh a bit

“My, do not to get jealous, you have a pretty partner with you and you are one handsome man too, you could appear too”

“Am I?...”

Evelyn laughed and she pulled my yukata to get in, we sit down and there was a couple of girls with a lot of plates ready to be served

“Please, enjoy!”

“Let's eat!”

Evelyn and I got really full at the end and the only thing left was a cup of sake.

“This is different from the wine and beer”

“Yeah, it had a little sweetness in it, although is a bit strong, my father used to drink from a pumpkin, it had a form like this”

I started to draw a pumpkin with my hands, Evelyn laughed and we took our last sip of sake, we took out the Futon and the attendant came with some girl to help her taking out the tables and the cups, we turned off the light and laid down in our futons.

We distanced it but the moment we looked at each other we couldn’t help but stare into our eyes.

“Today was another fantastic day, Azura, I am grateful for everything you are doing”

“It is nothing, if not for you I would be in my room rotting as always”

“Tomorrow we are going there”

“I hope it works”

“I am sure it will”

I just nodded and I look to another direction but Evelyn extended his hand and I took it, we interlace our hands and approach to one another and we ended up hugging, I could her heartbeats that for me it was like a lullaby, we spend another the last night together as the last, our final night together, and we would be separated starting tomorrow.
