With the "genius table tennis girl" as their selling point, Satou and the others' inn still attracted many travelers on the third day, with many tourists interested in sparring with Tadokoro Megumi.
"How nice, Satou. It would be great if Rindo also had a similar talent."
Eishi Tsukasa, who came to visit, looked at Tadokoro Megumi, who was sweating youthfully on the ping-pong table, then looked at Kobayashi Rindo, who was eating snacks made by Satou, sighed, and said worriedly.
Their hot spring inn had no one, so it was empty all day.
"Huh? Tsukasa-senpai, have you still not found your unique selling point?"
Erina Nakiri brought over a cup of tea and asked in surprise.
"Isn't that the truth?"
Eishi Tsukasa sighed and said, "Yesterday, Saito performed kendo, but no one watched it. After that, Saito was very disheartened; he's been hiding in his room all day, refusing to come out, and even saying that kendo is obsolete."
Satou and Erina Nakiri: "..."
Eishi Tsukasa glanced at Isshiki Satoshi's inn across the way, which had already gained considerable popularity.
Their "sexy table tennis boy" project indeed attracted a lot of attention, and many single middle-aged female tourists had already checked in yesterday.
"Speaking of Kuga, what was your occupancy rate yesterday?"
He asked.
Kuga Terunori, who was eating snacks, said, "It's probably almost fifty percent, right? That Isshiki guy is very popular with middle-aged women. And I heard Isshiki already has another good idea."
"What idea? Can Kuga-kun tell me?"
Eishi Tsukasa looked at him pitifully.
"Well, I'm not very clear, but it's said to be very popular. After all, Isshiki is out there playing table tennis every day in a nude apron, and it's quite cold."
Kuga Terunori took a sip of tea and said, "Miss Erina's tea tastes really good."
"Uh-huh!"
Kobayashi Rindo, with her mouth full of food, nodded repeatedly.
"But, don't any of you have any special talents?"
Satou couldn't help but ask.
"Ah, as for me, my whole heart is in cooking, and the others are even more so. Megishima refuses to perform breaking a large stone on his chest."
Eishi Tsukasa sighed, helplessly saying, "Rindo also doesn't have any talent that can attract guests."
"Isn't she especially good at eating?"
Satou looked at Kobayashi Rindo, who had already finished a plate of snacks in the blink of an eye, and said.
"Satou, you're going too far!"
Kobayashi Rindo slapped Satou and said angrily.
However, by the afternoon, the third-year group finally made a new attempt: Akikubo Momo was going to sing.
Everyone who heard that Akikubo Momo was going to sing was very curious and specially rushed over, wanting to see how Akikubo Momo, who rarely spoke, would sing.
Akikubo Momo stood there expressionlessly, holding a teddy bear in one hand and a microphone in the other, making people worry if she could even sing.
"Look, even Akikubo-senpai, who speaks the least, is willing to sing, so why aren't you, Tsundere?"
Satou took the opportunity to say to the Tsundere.
Erina Nakiri's face immediately flushed, and she whispered, "I'm not singing; that's too embarrassing."
At this moment, Akikubo Momo began to sing; she sang the children's song "Black Cat's Tango."
"But I never expected Akikubo-senpai, who is usually so quiet, to agree to sing."
Yukihira Soma said strangely.
"Perhaps she's also worried about failing the exam and getting expelled. That would be embarrassing."
Satou said.
Akikubo Momo was already petite, and holding a teddy bear made her look like an underage girl; her appearance was very cute, and her voice was clear and tender, making everyone's eyes light up as soon as she opened her mouth.
"You are my cute little black cat.
Red ribbons suit you very well.
But you often extend your claws, which makes me feel troubled."
"Oh, I didn't realize Akikubo-senpai sings quite well."
Tadokoro Megumi said in surprise.
The cute melody combined with the clear singing, along with Akikubo Momo's expressionless face, indeed created a charming feeling.
However, she stopped after only a few lines.
"Akikubo, why did you stop singing? You were singing so well."
Eishi Tsukasa couldn't help but say.
"I forgot the lyrics."
Akikubo Momo said expressionlessly.
As a result, Eishi Tsukasa and the others also gave up the idea of having Akikubo Momo sing...
In the evening, as Satou and the others were eating, Ryo came in, panting, and said, "Not good, the opponents have a new trick!"
He, Hayama Akira, and Yukihira Soma had always wanted to surpass their seniors in the exam, even in this one, so Ryo often went out to check on the opponents' movements.
"Oh? Really?"
Satou was surprised and said, "Then let's go take a look. If it's good, we can learn from it."
"Exactly, they actually plagiarized our 'table tennis girl,' how despicable."
Hayama Akira nodded, always feeling that the 'table tennis boy' across the street was plagiarizing their 'table tennis girl.'
Everyone walked out and indeed saw that the sign that previously read "Sexy Table Tennis Boy" had disappeared, replaced by another new sign.
"Hot Spring Flower Boys Group? What kind of embarrassing name is this?"
Erina Nakiri couldn't help but blush and say.
Satou also felt a bit speechless and said, "Let's go take a look."
Then they all walked in, and Nene Kinokuni was promoting the new project.
"By staying at our establishment, you can enjoy the opportunity to bathe together with handsome men."
"Handsome men? Mixed bathing?"
Erina Nakiri and the others almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Oh? What kind of handsome men?"
A heavily made-up middle-aged woman passing by asked curiously.
"There are three types: elegant and noble, lively and cute, and cold and stern. You can enjoy mixed bathing with whichever type you prefer."
Nene Kinokuni, bracing herself, pointed to three signs at the entrance with pictures of young men printed on them and said.
These signs must have been made this afternoon, with the portraits of Isshiki Satoshi, Kuga Terunori, and Eizan Etsuya printed on them respectively.
"Why does this remind me of a host club?"
Hayama Akira couldn't help but say.
"This is a host club, isn't it?"
Tadokoro Megumi forced a smile.
