Jitsu -A different story-

You could say that… The current situation was a bit curious. Shizune knew that she hadn't misheard the question from before, but at the same time, she felt a great need to ask that woman if she had heard correctly. Still, what stood out the most at that moment was actually what that woman was doing since, at the moment she had asked that question, she was using one of her fingers to point at a specific area… An area that one didn't have to look at many times to know that it was Shizune's breasts…

"I'm sorry!" Shizune was still thinking about what to answer or say, but, even if she wanted to, she wouldn't have the chance since that voice was heard again while saying that kind of apology. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! That question appeared in my mind and I don't know why I said it, excuse me!"

The way she raised her voice and the intensity with which she was apologizing made the honesty in her words quite noticeable and adding to that the fact that she was trying to make a kind of bow that ended with her face touching the hot springs, made Shizune have to act to stop that situation by helping her calm down.

"I'm really sorry, I don't know how many times I've apologized, but I think it won't be enough no matter how many times I do it." Even though the scene calmed down a bit, that woman still felt some guilt for the way she interacted with Shizune, and her words perfectly expressed that. "I just need to think about it myself, even though we're both women, if some stranger approached me and the first thing they said was something similar it would make me want to get away as quickly as possible."

Maybe her words were a bit exaggerated… Or maybe they weren't, but ultimately, Shizune didn't feel like she would take that same path since the person in front of her had already apologized enough.

"Don't worry too much, I don't feel offended or anything. I was just a little surprised, that's all." Although Shizune had already said something similar when she tried to calm that woman down, she didn't mind repeating the same thing to calm her down once more. "Also, and answering your question from before, I understand what you mean… Yes, they are completely natural."

Shizune's expression was also calmer, and just as she was saying that last bit, she placed her hand on the top of her breasts as if she wanted to emphasize what she meant, and despite everything that had happened, that woman couldn't help but continue to express herself quite naturally.

"Hahaha!" She hugged her stomach a little as she let out a loud laugh, and although Shizune didn't quite understand the reason for it, that laugh had been enough to infect her and make her laugh lightly. "Haha... Sorry once again, it's just that now everything was clearer I felt that the situation was a little funny, haha... My name is Mio, Yamada Mio."

As she heard the name that had been a mystery until now, Shizune saw how Mio extended her hand in greeting and it didn't take long for her to repeat the same action.

"It's a pleasure, Mio-san. My name is Yotsuba Shizune." Sharing her name and accepting the small greeting, Shizune could see a small smile on Mio's face, and in turn, she was more aware of her appearance.

At first glance, the most noticeable thing about Mio's figure was the dark tone of her hair, which was tied up and a little wet. Her skin complexion was quite fair, even more so than Shizune's, but it wasn't so exaggerated as to think that she was sick or something similar, in addition, the grayish-blue color in her eyes was something that had caught Shizune's attention a lot, and if something had to be mentioned, she seemed like a rather young and attractive woman.

"It's also a pleasure to meet you, Shizune-san… And I apologize if I'm too repetitive but sorry for the question from before." As she repeated herself, Shizune wanted to say once again that there was no problem with it and that they should leave everything in the past, but Mio's voice hadn't stopped. "Although… Since you answered at the end, I must say that I'm really surprised."

As if she wanted to emphasize a little, Mio turned her gaze towards the area where Shizune's breasts were, and despite the slight lighting of the place and the water covering it a little, Mio was able to have a perfect view of her attributes. "I mean, I'm flat as a board, but you, Shizune-san… I'm sure you could end world hunger." Although Shizune could somewhat understand what Mio meant by that, a somewhat strange expression had appeared on her face as she didn't know what to say, but she continued to listen to Mio's words anyway. "I'm sure men are crazy about you."

Maybe it was because she had gotten lost in her thoughts again, but Mio was saying the first thing that came to her mind without thinking much about it, even her gaze stayed a little lost on Shizune's breasts, and when she moved a little, Mio's gaze followed the same direction without missing anything. Despite everything, and because of the way the conversation had started, Shizune wanted to change the subject a little, although it was still related to it.

"Maybe that's true, but I only care that someone in particular is interested in it, besides, it's not something that incredible, Mio-san. I'm sure you also attract a lot of guys' attention since you're quite pretty."

"Hmm! I wish what you say was true, Shizune-san, but I've been single for years and I have bad experiences behind me." Mio crossed her arms while giving a small snort. Shizune once again felt that her reaction was a little funny, and this time she didn't hesitate to laugh a little.

Maybe it was true that they had just met, but at this point, and it seemed that there was no problem talking to each other, a small conversation slowly began to form.

…

…

"Oh, so it's like some kind of trip to celebrate your anniversary." Among the topics they talked about, the reason why they were at the ryokan couldn't be missed, so Shizune had to mention her relationship with Kurono and the gift. "How romantic! I hope you made the most of the time you were here."

Shizune felt that it was quite nice to be able to talk to someone directly about what she had experienced, so she didn't hold most of it back as she talked to Mio and answered several questions.

"Now I'm quite interested in some of the things you mentioned, I actually came with some friends to have a little vacation and we arrived a few hours ago, I only read a little about what was in this place, but hearing it from someone else leaves me calmer and more interested." Mio duly thanked Shizune for sharing everything with her, and as they continued talking and the darkness of the night grew deeper, that somewhat peculiar little situation turned into a small conversation that left behind the tranquility that was there at the beginning, but that, at the same time, was quite pleasant in its own way.
