An atmosphere of suffocating awkwardness brewed and rapidly expanded between the two.
Aoto racked his brains to think of a way to escape the current awkward atmosphere.
However, with his brain only just recovering basic function, he felt an emptiness...unable to come up with any good strategy to escape the current predicament.
Toshisuke's silence and inaction made it even more difficult for Aoto, leaving him at a loss as to what to do.
At this moment, both good and bad news simultaneously descended upon Aoto and Toshisuke.
Harada: "Come on, come on! Let's go have a comfortable bath together!"
Outside the Pomegranate Gate, Harada's loud voice echoed and the sound of chaotic footsteps approached the bath.
The good news was that Kondo and the others were going to enter the bath.
Their voices awakened Aoto and Toshisuke as if from a dream, and their footsteps dispersed the awkward atmosphere between the two like the wind.
