I never imagined that the accommodation Minji had booked would be an expensive ryokan.

I never thought I would find a ridiculous accommodation that costs over 120,000 yen per night for 3 people.

Are you spending 5 days here?

I never imagined I would be treated to such luxury.

“Plus, it has a private open-air bath.”

Da-hye and Min-ji are now in the open-air bath.

While I was thinking about what to do after eating, it was truly shocking to see him take off his clothes in front of me and go inside.

No… if you think about it, it was the same at Min-ji and Da-hye’s house, right?

There’s nothing to be really shocked about.

And I am having a lot of fun splashing around in the hot spring water.

“Oppa. Just come in, brother. I hid it like that so there was something to see.”

Are you saying that to your brother?

I wanted to go in and hit him on the head, but I held back because I was scared that he might get pulled over and fall off.

Sure enough, I grabbed Dahye’s head as if she was going to give Minji a high-level warning instead of me.

“ugh. You shouldn’t say things like that.”

Then he gently stroked my head.

I thought you would grab me and pull me…

As expected, Da-hye’s younger sister named Min-ji is very cute.

I grew up alone as an only child, so it’s only natural.

“In the first place, men shouldn’t show their bodies carelessly to women.”

“You don’t really hide anything at home, do you?”

My little sister who rejects common sense with strange sophistry.

I think my little sister needs to receive sex education again.

Even I, who am not familiar with the common sense of this world, understand…

“No matter what, we don’t go into the bathtub together.”

“That’s right.”

Only then did Minji understand and began splashing in the water again.

i envy you…

I want to go in quickly too.

Perhaps because it is an open-air bath, it seems to have been in there for quite some time.

I think it’s already been about 1 hour and 20 minutes.

“I’m going to go to the public hot spring.”

“Huh. Don’t you do it here?”

“The two of us are taking it easy.”

I heard that because it was the off-season, there weren’t many customers.

Then the best thing is to go to a spacious place and rest alone.

I grabbed some toiletries and went out.

If this were before common sense changed, I would have left the room where my girlfriend and sister were, with the door tightly closed.

But after common sense changes, you don’t have to think like that.

There’s a saying, ‘Who cares about whom?’

“Hehehe~♬”

I can’t help but hum.

Now that I think about it, you can take as many hot spring eggs as you want in front of you, so I guess I’ll just take two.

They say it was a hot spring egg, but perhaps because the water was hot, it was a perfectly cooked boiled egg.

Still, I automatically think of it because it’s free and delicious.

“It must have been around here…”

It was there earlier when I followed an employee around here.

Write…why can’t I see it?

It’s like a ghost crying.

Who cleaned it up?

At best, only about 3 hours would have passed, so it makes no sense to disappear without a trace…

Or maybe I took a wrong turn.

I can’t do it.

I have no choice but to go back and look for it again later.

A public hot spring is a hot spring that many people use together.

So the inside is spacious and the water temperature is higher than expected.

If more than one person enters, the temperature of the water drops quickly.

When compared like this, a person feels like ice, but compared to hot water, it’s not really wrong.

Grumble.

When I entered the locker room after being guided by the staff, there was nothing special inside.

Key-type lockers arranged in a row and found in bathrooms.

And there is even a refrigerator with bottled milk ready for guests to drink comfortably.

Is this the hot springs of an expensive ryokan?

The amount of 120,000 yen is not a waste at all… I don’t think so.

That’s a bit of a waste.

In Korea, it is calculated per room, but in Japan, it is calculated per person, so it seems to be a lot more expensive.

Anyway, maybe because it was an open-air bath, it was a little chilly when I opened the door and came in.

It’s also fall… Maybe it’s because the steam in the open-air bath cools and sticks to the body, but it’s slowing down how quickly we lose body heat.

Ugh…it’s cold.

I have to take a shower right away.

The open-air bath was equipped with all the showers found in a bathhouse.

It’s nice to be able to stand and wash comfortably instead of having to squat down to wash.

Come to think of it, there were two private hot springs.

As expected, as it is expensive, the facilities are well-equipped.

I lathered my body, washed it thoroughly, and went straight into the hot spring.

There was already one person inside, but since it was the same guy, I didn’t mind and just soaked myself in it.

“Ugh… It’s warm…”

“Huh? Are you Korean? Maybe it’s because it’s a tourist destination.”

I put a towel on my head and looked in front of me, and a very friendly-looking person started talking to me while smiling.

No… not at a friendly level…

Looks like a face I’ve seen a lot somewhere?

“Isn’t it? Is it an illusion?”

“Yes? Why are you doing that?”

“No. It’s a face I feel like I’ve seen before… There’s no way he’s here.”

“Haha. This is something I often hear.”

He scratches his head saying he hears it often.

No matter how I look at it, I don’t think I saw anything wrong.

“By the way, how did you end up here? This ryokan has a private open-air bath, so people don’t often come to the public bath.”

“My girlfriend and my sister are making it.”

“Aha… I also came here because my daughter and wife were occupying the place.”

what.

If it’s my daughter and wife, wouldn’t it be okay to just go in?

As I tilted my head, the man sitting in front of me smiled wryly and spoke slowly.

“It was surprisingly narrow. For my daughter to splash in the water…”

“Aha…”

Minji is 24 years old and splashing around in the water. How can she be so young as a child?

In the end, he and I are in similar situations.

***

He was exactly who I expected.

From what I heard, it looks like he came on a late summer vacation because his wife is a superstar and the timing wasn’t right for her to go on vacation.

Coming to Japan for summer vacation.

As expected, rich people are different.

We talked about this and that.

I was wondering if I could get information that could be used for a web novel from the person who runs the QTube channel.

“Wow… I had no idea it was written by the writer who wrote The Story of Women and Men! I’m having fun watching it too!”

“Haha… Thank you. In front of Seonghwan, I’m just a slug.”

I am naturally humbled in front of people who have 40 million subscribers.

If I were to say that I am a successful person in the Korean web novel market, then this person is a person who ranks high in media representing the world.

After all, people should be humble.

Even though this person is in such a position, he always seems humble.

However, I was surprised that such a person asked an unexpected question.

I never thought you’d ask that.

“By the way, may I ask how you came up with the idea of Yeo-nam Station? ”

“Uh….”

Other than Seongho, no one in particular asked me that question.

Since Seongho is a friend, I jokingly told him that I actually came from that world.

Seongho also thought it was a joke.

By the way, can I say that to Yoo Seong-hwan, whom I am meeting for the first time?

What should I do?

If I tell you this, I’ll be treated like a crazy person.

“It’s okay. I don’t think anything strange or anything like that.”

“Umm…. Can’t you write something or post a video on the Internet saying you said this?”

“It’s not like that.”

When I looked at him out of curiosity, his eyes contained a feeling of happiness rather than curiosity.

I don’t know why I feel happy there.

“Actually…”

Okay, let’s say it.

It’s already been a year since my common sense changed, and I feel like I’m going crazy because I’m hiding it all in my heart.

Even if I was treated as crazy, didn’t I think about going to a psychiatric hospital for counseling?

After thinking about such things, why is it so difficult to say it to someone after seeing it?

“I…actually in that world…”

“In that world?”

“I came…….”

come.

The moment you are about to say…!

Grumble!

Suddenly, the entrance door to the open-air bath where we were alone opened and people started coming in.

Those Japanese people have Irezumi drawn all over their bodies.

I’m a little scared, perhaps because it’s been a while since I’ve played With Dragon.

I stopped mid-sentence and got up from the hot spring where I was sitting.

“I’ll just leave. The conversation was fun.”

“Ah. I’ll give you my number and I’ll see you later.”

“Uh… are you okay?”

The more people like this, the more they think their privacy is really important.

You gave me your phone number when you first met me…

“If it’s Siwoo, it’s as much as you want.”

“Thank you. I’ll give you my phone number just in case.”

We might forget, so it’s better to let each other know.

After wiping myself off, I called Yoo Seong-hwan’s number on my cell phone and left a log of the call.

I never thought I would have connections like this in Japan.

I have to brag to Minjae and Seongho later.

No… Are you going to envy your sister and Minji even more?

The two are such fans that they always play videos on QTube.

But should I tell you that Yoo Seong-hwan is here?

Should I not?

What if they make a fuss later that I didn’t tell them?

This time, it might really be on the news because of domestic violence.
