Our Trip To The Hot Spring

Prologue

THIS IS FROM MAKI'S POV

It was bright day on semester break and we were on our way to the hot springs by bus.

"Huuhhh.... why did I end up" Nico-chan said.

"Well, it feels like a waste having to get these tickets and not using them" I said.

"Jeez Maki-chan don't you have any other friends to go with" she said again.

"Wh-what!? How about you Nico-chan? You just said yes right after I asked you to come with me" I said.

"O-Of course I do! I-I just felt bad that you don't have anyone to go with you" Is what Nico-chan said but I can see through her red face too well.

So here's what happened around. About a week earlier, Nozomi said she won 2 tickets to a famous hot springs bath at Kyoto for 2 days. She said she wanted to go but she couldn't go because she was going to go to Eli's house on that day.

I don't see why she couldn't just go with Eli and instead gave it to me. I refused to accept the tickets at first but then Nozomi said "Why don't you take Nico-chi there with you. My cards say that something good will happen if you two go there." Obviously I refused when she said that, but then she said "There were rumors that "Friends" that go to the said spring bath mostly came out as couples." So I accepted the tickets.

And now Nico-chan. Oh Nico-chan. Ever since I met you I started having feelings whenever I see you, but I just don't know how to say it. Hopefully by coming here I'll finally get to tell you how I feel. Normally I don't really trust rumors but it can't hurt to try I guess. If it's for Nico-chan.
