Obanai, still taking in the sight of the grand onsen building, couldn't hide his surprise. "It's... big. You never told me your family had a business this big," he said, eyes wide with admiration.
Mitsuri chuckled, a bit nervous. "I'm sorry. I didnt really leave on good terms, so I didn't mention it."
Obanai looked at Mitsuri with concern eyes, Mitsuri hid her nervous expression as she grabbed her bag from the trunk.
As the group walked into the lobby, they noticed a woman with brown hair and striking green eyes standing at the reception desk wearing a simple lime green Yukata with a brown traditional belt. She flashed a warm smile as they entered. "Welcome to Kanroji Onsen! Do you have reservations?" she asked politely.
Obanai was surprised by her appearance as Mitsuri looked a lot like the woman.
"Oh wow, she looked a lot like Mitsuri" Kanae was surprised.
"Mitsuri?" The woman was taken back by the name.
Without warning, Mitsuri suddenly popped up from behind the group. "Hey Mom"
Her mother's eyes widened, and she immediately rushed from behind the desk to embrace Mitsuri, who met her halfway with equal enthusiasm. "Aaaahhh! Mitsuri!"
"Mom!" Mitsuri squeezed her tightly.
"It's been ages since you were last here. I've missed you so much. We all have!" Her mother held her close, looking genuinely touched.
"I missed you too," Mitsuri said, her eyes shining with warmth.
The group watched the reunion, touched by the sight. Her mother finally pulled back, gently kissing Mitsuri on the forehead. "Now, you must introduce me to your friends."
Mitsuri turned to them, gesturing proudly. "Guys, this is my mother, Rumi Kanroji. Mom, these are my friends—Kanae and her boyfriend Sanemi, and... my boyfriend, Obanai."
Rumi's face lit up as she greeted each of them. "It's wonderful to meet you all! My daughter's friends are always welcome here. We've set aside two rooms for you—with everything included, of course! Let me just call the rest of the family in." She walked over to the phone to make the call.
Kanae leaned in, whispering to Mitsuri, "Your mom's so young! She could be your sister! You two look like twins!"
Mitsuri blushed, scratching the back of her head. "She did have me at eighteen, right after high school..."
Kanae's eyes widened. "So young! I need to know her secret to looking so youthful," she said, eyeing Rumi with admiration.
Mitsuri looked slightly embarrassed, glancing away while the group waited for her response. "You can ask... but you're probably going to be surprised by her answer. She's... um... really open."
As Rumi returned, Kanae, unable to hold back, blurted, "Mrs. Kanroji, I have to say, you're so beautiful and so young! What's your secret?"
Rumi giggled, a mischievous glint in her eye. "Oh, it's nothing too difficult. Eating right, waking up early, and..." She paused for dramatic effect, "...having a lot of sex."
The group collectively froze, cheeks flaming as her words hung in the air.
"R-r-really?" Kanae stammered, her face turning red as she avoided looking at Sanemi, who was giving her a knowing smirk.
"Yes! Keeping the spark alive with your husband does wonders," Rumi said brightly. "Happy wife, happy life... and rich wife!" She winked at the group. "That's what I always tell Mitsuri."
Mitsuri covered her face with her hands, cheeks practically glowing. She sneaked a glance at Obanai, who looked equally flustered, his ears tinged red as he avoided eye contact.
