Discerning Ulterior Motives Is Easier Than You’d Think

Yume Irido

For the time being, my group returned to our room, and as we did, I asked a question.

“Any order you wanna take baths in?”

Higashira-san, who’d sat down on her bed, tilted her head. “Are we getting in already? There’s still ample time before we’re required to slumber, is there not?”

“Uh...” Akatsuki-san began bringing out her own itinerary to look at. “It’s lights out at ten, so we still have over two hours.”

“That’s true, but with four people taking turns using the bath, we’re gonna be cutting it close.”

If each person were to take thirty minutes, it would amount to two hours exactly. If we planned to take baths now, everyone would be done right before lights out.

Akatsuki-san loudly clicked her tongue. “Hmph. Here I thought I’d make sure we ran out of time so we’d have to take baths in pairs.”

“The bath is pretty big, but you clearly have ulterior motives, so hard pass,” I said.

The toilet and bath were in separate rooms, possibly because we were in a room for four. There was even a separate spot for showering.

Then suddenly, Higashira-san’s hand shot into the air as if we were in a classroom. “Can we take baths together if we have no ulterior motives?!”

“Asking that question in and of itself already makes it obvious that you do,” I quipped.

“Oh...” she trailed off, disappointed.

Also, in Higashira-san’s case, if we were to bathe together, there was no guarantee that I wouldn’t have ulterior motives towards her. Those amazing boobs live rent-free in my head.

“I’m fine with going last,” Asuhain-san said. “I don’t take long baths, and my hair dries quickly.”

That’s true. She does have the shortest hair out of all of us. It was a pain for people with long hair to take a bath right before bed. In that regard, it’d make the most sense if Asuhain-san was last.

“Then would it be okay if I went first?” Riding the momentum, I proposed this. “’Cause, you know, having long hair like this means it takes a while to dry. If I bathe after nine, I might not be done by the time we’re supposed to sleep.”

This is why I brought this topic up right after we got back to the room. If I wanted to meet up with Mizuto by the pool at nine, then I needed to take a bath as soon as possible. But I was hesitant about being forthcoming about this, so that’s why I’d opted for starting the conversation and naturally leading things this way. This had all gone according to plan. Nobody would be suspicious of me. Just as I was internally grinning about my success, Akatsuki-san and Higashira-san, both looking apathetic, turned to face me.

“Sure, I guess...” Akatsuki-san grumbled.

“I can’t help but wonder if you’ve some other reason you’d like to take your bath as quickly as possible,” Higashira-san said.

Why are they so perceptive?!

Akatsuki-san sighed, relenting. “Well, whatever. If you happen to have plans around nine, then so be it.
