Chapter 492: Ren Amamiya: Time to Talk with Mao Li Lan

Because of her anger and jealousy, her puffed-up cheeks made Kaguya look even more adorable.

Ren Amamiya smiled, raised his hand, and gently poked Kaguya's puffed-up cheeks.

"Can't I coax you back? Then maybe I won't coax you? I'm actually not very good at coaxing girls."

This sentence instantly made Kaguya Sigong panic.

"Just try it! You try it first! Say it, maybe I'm easy to coax?"

Pfft!

The few people listening nearby couldn't help but laugh at that utterly uncommitted statement.

Less than a minute had passed from start to finish before she couldn't hold out anymore.

"Then I'll try my best."

"Mm-hmm."

Ren Amamiya also suppressed his laughter and pulled the nearly frantic Kaguya into his arms.

Hearing that Ren had not given up directly, Kaguya Sigong's mood instantly shifted, but the moment she was embraced, she was completely stunned.

Her consciousness suddenly entered a state of system crash.

By the time her brain fully came to its senses, Kaguya Sigong had already realized the fact that she was being held.

"Kaguya."

The voice suddenly close to her ear made Kaguya Sigong feel only a slight tickle in her ears.

"Just now at the hot spring, I told Sonoko the same thing. I don't know much about girls, and I don't know much about how to date girls. If I seem a bit cold toward you, you must tell me."

Ren Amamiya's sincere words made Kaguya Sigong gradually calm down.

As a girl, she knew she needed to maintain her reserve.

But she, like Ren Amamiya, was also in her first love and her first relationship with the opposite sex; she didn't know how to interact with boys either, so perhaps it would be better to explain things directly to Ren when something came up.

Since both of them were experiencing this for the first time, it was inevitable that they needed to understand each other more.

"Mm."

The scene she had seen earlier at the open-air hot spring appeared in her mind.

At that time, Sonoko Suzuki seemed to have raised her head slightly, looking at Ren Amamiya with a hint of expectation and shyness, as if she was asking for something.

Kaguya Sigong now understood what kind of thoughts Sonoko Suzuki had at that time.

She raised her head as if possessed by a ghost.

"Ren, I..."

"Hey, hey, hey! You big ice block, pay attention, we're still here."

Instantly, Kaguya Sigong moved away from Ren Amamiya's embrace as if struck by electricity.

She had forgotten that several people were still staring at them nearby.

"Young Lady, next time you want to express your feelings to Ren Amamiya, please find a quiet room so you won't be disturbed."

"If you need anything, you can always come to me; the Other Dimension is very quiet."

Aiba Hayasaka aaaaaah!

Kaguya Sigong almost let out a roar through gritted teeth.

In front of so many people, she had almost said something very shameful to Ren, only to be reminded repeatedly by her own maid.

"Ahem."

Ren Amamiya coughed lightly, walked over, and took Kaguya's hand.

"Next time, if there's something, we'll talk about it separately."

Kaguya Sigong looked down at the hand being held; she didn't pull away, only gripping Ren's hand tighter.

"Mm."

She had already decided in her heart that later she must find a time when no one is around to monopolize Ren.

"Mao Li Lan, have you contacted Uncle Mao Li?"

Ren Amamiya suddenly changed the subject.

The sudden shift in topic was so fast that Mao Li Lan, who was still enjoying the drama, didn't react for a moment.

"My father? I haven't contacted him yet. But Aunt Yumi told me that day that the hot spring inn they went to is Benkei Inn."

"Benkei?"

Muttering the name, Ren Amamiya subconsciously glanced in the direction of Aiba Hayasaka.

Sensing the gaze, Aiba Hayasaka smiled slightly and immediately responded.

"Benkei Inn is located at the foot of Kuro's mountain. It is a very old hot spring inn, but because of its age, it generally receives middle-aged and elderly guests, and the number each year is not very large."

"The number isn't very large? Then can it make money?"

Ren Amamiya became somewhat curious about this.

"Naturally it can. What I just said might have been slightly inaccurate; I mean, compared to other inns in the hot spring town, that inn receives slightly fewer guests. However, it still receives some guests every week."

"The annual surplus is still quite good, but compared to the surrounding hot spring inns that are increasing in number and have better environments and conditions, it is definitely worse..."

"

"But that hot spring inn also has the advantage of being older, so its fees are relatively lower; compared to other hot spring inns, it is actually more popular among middle-aged and elderly people."

The three words "cost-performance ratio" appeared in Ren Amamiya's mind the moment Aiba Hayasaka finished her explanation.

Compared to out-of-town travelers with very sufficient funds, the key is that the older hot spring inn does not charge high fees.

Ren Amamiya was also very certain about this point.

This hot spring inn, Kuro, has a very high-end environment and internal configuration, but the fees for such a hot spring inn are probably astronomical.

At least for most families, this is unacceptable.

Choosing a hot spring inn with better value for money clearly aligns more with the average person's spending mindset.
