"Anyway, that's not the point. The point is that you can't soak in a hot spring right after drinking it! Your blood vessels will dilate, your blood pressure will drop, and you'll faint!"
"Yes." Kirishima Mai nodded.
Kuno Tachibana's expression changed: "But Kitahara-sensei drank it! He even went to the hot spring!"
“But he doesn’t like drinking kimono, and given his personality, he wouldn’t try it,” Kirishima Mai said.
"Don't talk about that, but we smelled it, and you probably smelled it too, Zhenyi. Didn't you notice his face was very red just now? Could it be that he was shy because he saw the two of us? Are you kidding me? I know my own limitations!"
Kirishima Mai finally realized something was wrong, and the girl who had entered quickly climbed on top of her, not even properly pulling up her towel, revealing most of her round buttocks.
"Where are you going?"
"Of course we'll go to the men's pool!"

"Wait, you're planning to just go in like this?"
At the same time, Kirishima Mai emerged from the pool. The stone surface was rough but not sharp, yet her steps remained cautious and light.
Kuno Tachibana held onto the bath coin with one hand to prevent it from falling as she walked:
"if not?"
"Why don't you explain the situation to the staff first? If that doesn't work, try contacting Tenkai and the others. They're back now, aren't they?" Kirishima Mai advised from behind her.
"Then let's each do our own thing. You can go find them, I'll go in first," Kuno Tachibana said anxiously, his unease surging like a tide.
Kirishima Mai frowned slightly. Although girls' intuition is usually a bit stronger, she still suspected that Kuno Tachibana was making a big fuss about the person he liked.
If they went inside and found that Kitahara-sensei was still enjoying a hot spring bath, the only ones who would feel awkward would be the two of them.
Stepping out of the women's pool, Kirishima Mai could no longer see Kuno Tachibana, nor any of the staff members.
There are usually people guarding the entrance to prevent undesirable men from entering, but this hotel seems to think that installing cameras outside means everything is fine.
She could only take her phone out of the clothes in the wooden basin and call Tian Hai Cang.
As for why Tianhai Cang had his phone number, it's because this senior student voluntarily gave his phone number to all the female students.
In his opinion—
"If there's anything you don't understand in the future, I'll be happy to help."
I thought I'd never be able to play, but I never expected to actually use it.
Just as she was about to make the call, she suddenly stopped.
No, we can't call these upperclassmen. If Kitahara-sensei really is peacefully taking a bath inside without any mishaps, then the one who made a huge blunder by barging into the men's pool is Tachibana.
Boys love to egg each other on.
Kirishima Mai's mind worked quickly. She gently bit her lower lip and called Eto Kana directly.
I'm very sorry, but if we're really going to embarrass ourselves, then all of you girls should embarrass yourselves along with Tachibana.
"Kirishima-senpai? What's wrong?"
You can vaguely hear noise coming from Kana Eto's room, and Kami Takahashi laughing loudly, saying, "I've seen this before!"
"Teacher Kitahara has been soaking in the hot spring for ten minutes and hasn't come out yet," said Kirishima Mai.
"Ten minutes is normal, isn't it? I've even soaked for twenty minutes before! Hey, stop it! Sorry, I wasn't talking about Kirishima-senpai."
As Kirishima Mai walked into the men's pool, holding her phone, a sense of foreboding gradually crept into her heart.
She noticed that Kuno Tachibana had been inside for quite some time but hadn't come out yet.
If Kitahara-sensei were really alright, she probably would have already run away with her face flushed.
"But Professor Kitahara seems to have been drinking. Hurry! Please have the senior students call the department head and the others!"
After hanging up the phone, Kirishima Mai lifted the curtain of the men's pool, walked past the decorative rockery, and anxiously scanned the mist around the hot spring pool.
The pool at this spot is empty.
Through the misty vapor, they found Kuno Tatsuka, soaking wet, kissing Kitahara Hakuba, who was lying on the ground.
But Kirishima Mai quickly realized that Tachibana wasn't kissing her, but giving her artificial respiration.
"Lihua!"
Kuno Tachibana's voice, tinged with panic and trembling slightly, said:
"Mai! Hurry! I don't think I have enough strength!"
Kirishima Mai quickly stepped forward and knelt beside Kitahara Hakuba, placing her hands on the lower half of his sternum and pressing down with great force.
Kuno Tachibana pinched Kitahara Hakuba's nose and completely covered his lips with her small mouth.
Although she was anxious, she knew that she absolutely could not rush the steps. She slowly blew air in, then released her nose, and then slowly blew air in again.
Repeat the steps.
"Kitahara Hakuba, please wake up, wake up—" Kuno Tatsuka whispered his name, her voice filled with urgent pleading.
"I'll be good. I'll do whatever you say, and I'll promise you anything. Wake up, don't scare me—"
Kirishima Mai was already panting heavily. Chest compressions were extremely tiring for a girl like her, and she gradually reached the point of exhaustion.
"Li-Li-Hua, I feel like I have no strength left."
"You come here!" Kuno Tachibana said hurriedly, taking over Kirishima Mai's place.
Just as Kirishima Mai was about to lower her head and blow air into Kitahara Hakuba's mouth, "Cough cough—"
The person lying on the ground woke up. /I?de.book￠city~ ?埂+辛¨蕞￠筷￠
Kitahara Hakuba felt a stinging sensation spreading from his nasal cavity to his lungs, as if a damp flame was burning in his chest.
He tried to breathe, but only more water went in, causing him to cough violently. Every breath felt like a battle against death. "Teacher Kitahara!"
Kirishima Mai pressed one hand against Kitahara Hakuba's forehead and the other hand lifted his chin to ensure his airway was open.
I never imagined that the knowledge I learned in elementary school would come in handy here.
Kitahara Hakuba opened his eyes, coughing intermittently, each cough carrying the sweet taste of natural hot spring water.
"Hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo"
He couldn't utter a single word; he was like a hollowed-out shell, only able to groan weakly from his throat.
Kitahara Hakuba opened his eyes and saw Kuno Tachibana still crying while pressing hard on his chest.
"Li, Lihua, can stop coughing."
Most of her bath towel had fallen off, revealing her upper body to him.
It's small, but very cute.
But now, Kitahara Hakuba can no longer harbor evil thoughts towards something so beautiful.
Kuno Tachibana's tone was reproachful, yet tinged with helplessness and heartache, like a knife wrapped in cotton, sharp yet soft:
"What are you doing! Why are you drinking?! Drinking is one thing, but coming to a hot spring is another! How can someone be so clueless?! Can you even be considered a teacher? You should just resign and apologize!"
The girl was so upset and angry that she forgot to pull up the white bath towel that had fallen down.
Kitahara Hakuba coughed a few more times, and just as he was about to speak, he heard a noisy commotion.
A dozen or so girls, including Kana Eto, rushed into the men's pool. The moment they saw the three men, they immediately ran up and surrounded them.
Kirishima Mai then silently helped Kuno Tachibana pull up the towel, but the latter was still in a bad mood, and her attitude in pulling up the towel did not resemble that of a shy young girl at all.
"Teacher Kitahara!"
"Are you alright, Kitahara-sensei?"
"Has she fainted?"
"how so
Kitahara Hakuma lay on the ground, waving his hand with difficulty and saying:
"It's alright, thank you Kuno and Kirishima-kun, otherwise I might have drowned."
"Well--!"
The girls gasped, their eyes wide, and covered their mouths in horror, seemingly unable to accept what Kitahara Hakuba had said.
Of course, what they found hard to accept was not why Kitahara Hakuba didn't die, but why this had happened in the first place.
"Teacher Kitahara, are you feeling unwell? Do you have a headache? Chest tightness? Do you feel nauseous? The ambulance is on its way." Mizuno Kase knelt down and asked.
"it's okay no problem."
Kitahara Hakuba gave a wry smile; he felt really bad about making such a big fuss.
"White horse! White horse!"
The bald-headed ferry manager rushed in in a panic, almost tripping and falling.
When he saw Kitahara Hakuma talking to the students on the ground, half of the weight in his heart was finally lifted.
If Kitahara Hakuba were to perish here, he would be unable to explain himself to Haruka or to the school.
Following behind him, several medical staff members jogged over carrying a blue stretcher. A woman wearing a mask asked in a clear tone:
"How are you feeling now? Can you hear me?"
"Row."
"Could you tell me your name?"
"Kitahara Hakuba"
"Are you feeling unwell anywhere? For example, having difficulty breathing, chest pain, or nausea?"
"My chest hurts a little."
Do you feel like you can breathe easily? Do you have shortness of breath or a cough?
"It's alright, cough cough—"
