“Ah!
This is so relaxing!” Submerged in the hot spring, Tokairin Yuko couldn’t help but stretch languorously before settling down comfortably.
As it was the women’s bath, only the three of them were there at the moment; Inomata Naoki and Kube Rokuro were in the men’s bath next door.
After such a long period of weariness, being able to soak in a hot spring is truly the utmost luxury!” Misumi Mikoto also immersed herself in the hot spring waters.
Although she could use the bath in the castle during the time she studied in Chen Yu’s Mage Tower, the psychological experience of a bath and a hot spring were quite different.
Nevertheless, Qingdai, even while soaking in the hot spring, maintained her composure and elegance, gently stepping into the pool and sitting down beside the others before she said, “You both seem very tired, has work been difficult lately?”
“The workload at UDI has always been quite heavy, especially since this past year, with Meiqin’s great endeavors, UDI’s reputation has become increasingly prominent.
Our daily workload has also increased significantly, with our schedules packed every single day.” Talking about this topic, Tokairin Yuko had a bellyful of complaints and fatigue: “Recently, the Ministry of Health and Welfare is planning to promote the UDI model, so in addition to our usual tasks, we have to summarize our work experiences and organize a complete set of workflows to replicate the UDI model nationwide in the future.
That’s why the workload has been particularly heavy recently, and even if Meiqin hadn’t invited me, I would’ve wanted to relax properly.”
After listening to Tokairin Yuko’s grievances, Qingdai nodded in understanding, but she also said, “I’ve heard about UDI’s activities.
I’ve heard that your work has revealed the truth in many cases, bringing justice to the deceased, which is a tremendous job!
It must be a good thing for the country if the Ministry of Health and Welfare can promote the UDI model nationwide, right?”
“Of course it’s a good thing, but it means we suffer, with endless tasks every day.” At such times, Misumi Mikoto naturally chimed in with her agreement.
Seeing Misumi Mikoto concur, Qingdai couldn’t help but smile and said to her, “Since you’re both so tired, why don’t you relax thoroughly today?
I’ve been to this hot spring resort before; the water quality here is excellent, and it’s wonderful for beauty, skin health, and relieving fatigue.”
“Dr.
Qingdai, you’ve been here before?
Are the springs really that magical?
Then I must soak a little longer,” said Tokairin Yuko upon hearing Qingdai’s words, completely submerging herself in the water.
Seeing Tokairin Yuko’s actions, Misumi Mikoto smiled resignedly and said, “Tokairin, you’ve got a boyfriend now, if you’re so casual, aren’t you afraid that your boyfriend will find you distasteful?”
“He wouldn’t dare!” Tokairin Yuko huffed, but she nevertheless sat up straight again like Qingdai beside her, yet she still insisted, “Mr.
Naoki would never find me distasteful!”
“Dr.
Tokairin, you really don’t need to do that; just pay a bit of attention to your manners normally.
Soaking in a hot spring is meant to be a relaxing experience.
If you’re still worried about etiquette at such a time, how can you relax?” Upon seeing Tokairin Yuko sit up again, Qingdai laughed and then relaxed herself, leaning back against the edge of the hot spring and stretching out her body.
Gazing at Qingdai’s lean and perfectly proportioned figure, Tokairin Yuko couldn’t resist asking, “Dr.
Qingdai, with such qualifications, why did you fall for Rokuro?
He seems pretty average!
You’re a doctor at the Eastern University Affiliated Hospital; shouldn’t you be with a doctor from the same hospital?
Or is it because Rokuro’s father is a professor?”
“Rokuro is really good, you know?
He gives off a very sincere feeling, and he’s kind-hearted and simple.” Qingdai always had a smile on her face when talking about this.
She had naturally asked herself this question before, but after encountering all sorts of men, she ended up preferring a man like Kube Rokuro who’s more simple and kind-hearted.
However, just like Tokairin Yūko mentioned, Rokuro’s credentials are a bit ordinary, but that doesn’t affect Qingdai’s affection for him.
She just needs to encourage him more and push him to be more ambitious.
As the topic was brought up, Misumi Mikoto also couldn’t help but add, “Rokuro really is a good man!
He’s just a bit too ordinary.
But it feels like he has become much more ambitious ever since he started dating you, Doctor Qingdai!”
“Rokuro is indeed a pretty good man; it’s just that he needs a bit of motivation to be more ambitious.” Qingdai smiled sweetly, looking very charming.
Yet for some reason, Misumi Mikoto saw through her smile a hint of the ‘sweet’ burden Rokuro would enjoy in the future.
Since the conversation had turned to men, Inomata Naoki naturally became a part of the three women’s discussion.
Qingdai felt somewhat regretful about him, “It’s indeed a pity about Inomata-kun.
He’s a brilliant graduate from the University of Tokyo.
Had he stayed in Tokyo, he would likely have had a great career.
But people have their own aspirations, and for him to return to his hometown to take over the family farm is also a very good choice.”
“But Inomata-kun’s family is in Kumamoto, right?
Tokairin, if you ended up together with him, would you consider living in Kumamoto in the future?” Misumi Mikoto thought about this and felt reluctant to part with her friend.
Yet, considering Chen Yu’s plan, she hoped her friend could stay away from Tokyo, a place filled with troubles.
Faced with Misumi Mikoto’s question, Tokairin Yūko took a moment before answering, “I have thought about this issue!
But it’s too early to talk about it now.
I’ve considered living in Kumamoto or having Inomata-kun move to Tokyo.
Haven’t they been talking about promoting the UDI model nationwide recently?
If I really do marry Inomata-kun, I plan to apply for a transfer to the UDI in Kumamoto.”
“That’s a good option.
Kumamoto might not compare to Tokyo, but it’s also not bad.
Moreover, smaller places generally have a lower cost of living and less stress than Tokyo,” Qingdai supported Tokairin Yūko’s consideration.
Although she and Kube Rokuro were unlikely to leave Tokyo, that didn’t stop her from thinking that life in smaller places could also be pleasant.
Tokairin Yūko was, of course, aware of the differences between Tokyo and Kumamoto, but if she could be with her chosen partner, she didn’t mind where she lived.
However, at this point in the conversation, Tokairin Yūko suddenly turned the topic to Misumi Mikoto, “Speaking of which, Mikoto, shouldn’t you also consider finding a boyfriend?
Aren’t you over your last break-up yet?
I recall you had a thing for Doctor Chen Yu, right?”
“A thing for Professor Chen Yu?
That would truly be an excellent choice in every sense!
It’s just that he’s a bit insensitive to romance.” Qingdai couldn’t help feeling some regret and embarrassment when she remembered what she had once done for Chen Yu.
Yet, hearing her say that, Tokairin Yūko became quite curious and asked, “Is Doctor Chen Yu really that insensitive to romance?”
“Yes, indeed he is.
At that time, he wasn’t married to Professor Jounouchi yet, and I had made him a box of sweets…” Seeing Tokairin Yūko’s curiosity, Qingdai also started to share the things she had done in the past.
