Episode 156: An unbearable voice comes out

"Hmm ... Hmm hmm ... Where is this?"

"Y, you're awake."

I call out to Amane, who woke up.

"Umm, what's this situation?"

Confused by the face in front of her, Amane asks me.

"I'm taking care of Amane who collapsed in the sauna."

Amane looks up at me who is holding a fan, I look down at her face, and explain the situation.

"Huh!? Ah!? S, sorry!!"

"No, you don't have to get up, so rest a little longer."

I hold down Amane who is trying to get up in a hurry, and put her head back on my lap.

She's awake, but I don't know if her body is okay. I think it's safer to rest a little longer.

"Ugh. It's embarrassing ..."

"That's why I told you not to force yourself."

To the embarrassed Amane who covers her bright red face with both palms, I say dumbfoundedly.(TN:I think author is making a play on words here, with the word 'Aki' = Autumn above dumbfoundedly, since her face is bright red like autumn.)

I didn't think she'd force herself until she collapsed because she didn't want to lose.

"Fu, Fuhito-kun and Alexia are too monstrous."

"So mean."

Amane peeks her eyes between her hands and stares at me.

I don't think we're monsters. It's just that the sauna wasn't hot at all.

"Huh? My clothes were forcibly changed ... no way ..."

Amane sees that she has been changed into loungewear, and looks at me with a questioning expression as she tightens the gap between her top and bottom.

"Th, there's no way I'd do that!! Nanami and the others changed your clothes. Everyone's an explorer, so there's no point in having me change your clothes!?"

Having unfounded suspicion thrown at me, I hurriedly deny it and make excuses.

"Fufufu. Just kidding."

"Haa ... Really."

At my reply, Amane suddenly changes her expression and laughs. I shrug my shoulders at such an Amane.

"Thank you."

"No, don't mind."

I smile back at Amane who is smiling on my lap.

"Ah, Acchan is awake!!"

Nanami, Shia, and Rei arrive just as the conversation ended.

"Sorry for bothering you."

"Don't worry about it."

"Hmm."

"Yeah. Just don't overdo it next time."

Amane apologizes with a weak smile to the members who enter in droves, and Nanami and the others shake their heads telling her not to worry about it.

"Ahahaha ... I'll be more careful next time."

Amane smiles wryly at everyone's words.

"Acchan, how are you doing?"

"Yeah, I don't think it's a problem to move anymore."

In response to Nanami's question, Amane slowly lifts her body from my lap, stands up and checks her body's condition.

"Yeah, there's no problem."

"I see. Then, let's go get a massage. You can rest there too."

"Great, you have to get a massage when you come to the spa!"

After confirming that Amane's body is fine, Nanami invites everyone to a massage. My body feels so good that I don't even need a massage every day, I don't really need it, but it feels good to have a massage, so I definitely want to receive one.

Come to think of it, Nanami used to step on my back and massage me with her feet. She hasn't done it since she grew up, but it's nostalgic.

I remember the little Nanami stepping hard on my back.

Anyway, it's already past closing time.

The service that uses the store's own facilities is fine, but I wonder if the service that involves people is okay.

"Speaking of which, it's past closing time, but is it okay to get a massage?"

I ask as if I suddenly remembered.

"Yeah!! We can use it any time!!"

It seems that there is no problem at all. I feel somewhat sorry to keep them after hours, but since it's goodwill, I'll enjoy it to the fullest.

"That's fine."

"Yes!!"

When I smile at Nanami, she also smiles happily.

No way, not only this facility, but also such other services are properly provided, it's really perfect.

"If you've decided, let's go to the massage area!!"

""Yeah!!""

At Nanami's voice, we head to the massage area.

"Welcome!!"

"Hello!!"

Nanami, who was greeted cheerfully, returns the greeting in the same manner.

"Welcome, thank you for coming. I heard the story. Will this be for five people?"

"Yes, it is!!"

It is a kind onee-san who greets us with a smile. It seems that Sakakibara-san has already told them the story, and she treats us amiably.

"Ufufu, you're a lively young lady. Well then. There are many types of massages. Some require you to take off your clothes, which one would you like?"

"Today, please give me a massage that I can receive with my clothes on!!"

Looking at the high tension Nanami with a smile, Nanami responds to the question with a smile.

If I was told to take off my clothes here, I would have quickly evacuated. I'm glad Nanami is also sensible.

I secretly let out a sigh of relief.

"Understood. There are five types ..."

The onee-san explains the names and characteristics of the massages that can be received while wearing clothes.

After hearing the explanation, Nanami consulted with the other three and decided on one massage for the time being.

"Then, for the time being, please give us the first massage with the pressure points."

"I understand. Then, please proceed to the room over there."

"Thank you very much!!"

For the time being, after choosing from the safe and ordinary massages, we move to the designated room.

"I've been waiting for you. Please lie face down on each treatment bed first."

"Understood."

There are six women waiting inside, all of whom have lovely appearances.

I wonder if everyone working in a place like this has to be cute.

While thinking about such insignificant things, in response to Nanami's representative answer, I lay face down on an empty bed.

"Then, let's start the treatment."

"Thank you very much."

Once everyone is ready, the treatment starts at exactly the same time.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh."

And the next moment, an old man-like voice leaked out from everyone's mouth.
