Shinjuku Academy

After school hours... Zhurong is sitting on a bench, waiting for you to arrive.

Following the incident, it appears a mysterious sponsor has invested in the hot spring building.

The both of you were planning to see it today.

[Player]-niichan... you're late, ehehe~...

Zhurong, who is in a good mood, is smiling happily and innocently while looking at a photo in his hand.

2 options
Sorry to keep you waiting.	What is that photo?
Oh, [Player]-niichan! Don't worry 'bout it~ I just got here myself! Oh, this? It's just a photo of you and I together!	Hehehe~... It's a photo of us together!

Hey, I'm good at phototaking right? This one's gotta be my favorite!

Hey hey, let's snap one before we go in the hot spring! Here, come close to me!

You were pulled in by Zhurong and promptly sat next to him.

Zhurong sets the timer on the camera then came back and sat down next to you.

After that, Zhurong clings tightly to your arm.

Another prized possession to cherish! Thank you, [Player]-niichan~

Okay! Let's get going to Sarutahiko-niichan's newly built bathhouse!

Somehow it looks incredibly clean! I wonder what I should do if there's a foot bath...

The choices determines what outfit Zhurong will use for the Hot Springs section (Drip and Towel)

2 options (Same Response)
(Invite to a foot bath)	(Invite to a hip bath)

Hot Spring

Whoaaaa!! Sooo coool! It's like Okuninushi's place!

The atmosphere feels just about the same! Now that we've come this far...

Zhurong and the hot spring illuminated the night sky.

When you dipped your feet in the hot spring, Zhurong quietly climbs onto your lap.

2 options (Same Response)
I'm okay with it if you are.	You don't want to put your feet in the hot water...?

Yeah yeah! I'll move out of the way when I wanna hop in!

3 options
(Stroke his head)	(Hug him tight)	(Tickle him mischievously)
Nnnn... Come on, not right now! You'll make me feel relaxed and sleepy...	[Player]-niichan... You're so warm, hehehe...	I-I'm ticklish, [P-Player]-niichan!! I won't get off your lap if you keep this up!!

Zhurong leans and puts his weight on you.

Then he raises the camera in the waterproof casing and tried to operate it.

Check it out! This is a photo taken by someone else when we played together with everyone.

This one was when everyone was playing games at the hot spring! Uncle Daikoku and Mineaki-sensei were so strong!

When I won the game, I was really happy when he pat my head and praised me.

Looking back on his memories, Zhurong laughs happily and is enjoying himself.

And this one's when Xolotl-niichan and Horkeu Kamuy-niichan were arm wrestling!

Both of them were incredible! Even when their arms were hanging down, they were completely fine!

2 options
All of 'em are good photographs.	I feel like I didn't get attention when I won!
Hehehe~ I know right? How about this one? It's Okuninushi and his friends! It was when there was a lot of visitors! I was there too! It looked like they were busy, but the two of them were having a ton of fun! Zhurong happily scrolls through the photos, all of which were his and the others' memories in Hell.	For real? Hmm... If it'll make you feel better... do you want me to pet you? 2 options (Same Response) Please do. Can you do that, please? Zhurong turns to face your direction and pats your head. Who's a good kid? You are, [Player]-niichan~... Hehehe~ 2 options (Same Response) (Repay the favor) (Pat his head) Hehehe... Seeing [Player]-niichan happy makes me happy too.

It's not over yet, [Player]-niichan! There's still a bunch of photos I want to see!

Oh right! Lemme know when you find a photo you think is good. I'll use it for future reference!

2 options (Same Response)
On the contrary...	Don't you have a favorite photo, Zhurong?

Oh, hmmm... This one? Or maybe this one...?

The photo that was shown to Zhurong was taken when the two of you met again at the hot spring.

3 options (Same Response)
Good choice!	Such a cutie!	You really like me, don't cha?

Ehh!? You're asking if I l-like you, [Player]-niichan...??

Oh... Of course I like you, [Player]-niichan, but in a difference sense... you know?

I feel that "Zhurong" inside of me is also very happy to be with [Player]-niichan...

Recently Senpai and the others make a fuss when they look at photos of you, [Player]-niichan.

"Zhurong's taken!" ... What's that supposed to mean?

3 options
Tell me when you feel confident!	I personally like you, Zhurong.	Don't worry about that for now.
Yeah, I'll let you know when the time comes! Just you wait, [Player]-niichan!	That makes me so happy! Together with [Player]-niichan... Hehehe~!

Zhurong hops off your lap and takes your hand with a cheerful expression.

Hey, let's check out the other hot springs too! It's quite different from Okuninushi-niichan's place!

3 options (Same Response)
It's dangerous to run!	Sure, let's explore everything!	You'll trip, so Imma hold you.

You checked out every corner of various hot springs with Zhurong.

The numerous recreations caused Zhurong to be in high spirits to go through all the hot springs.

[Player]-niichan! All of them were really nice hot springs!

But I may have been in there for too long... Ugh, my head's spinning...

3 options
Let's do this again.	I'll dry you off.	Here, cheer with me.
You betcha! Don't go back on your promise, 'kay?	You set Zhurong on a chair and gently dried him off with weak ventilation. Whether it feels good or tickles a little, Zhurong twists his body occasionally. Thanks, [Player]-niichan! This should be enough because it makes me feel relaxed and sleepy!	Yeah! HUZZAAAAH~! Ehehe~ As he was told, Zhurong raised both hands and smiles happily.

You and Zhurong finish changing clothes and collected the things left in the locker.

Then the sleeves were pulled from behind. When you turn around, it seems Zhurong is looking down, moping.

Hey... We'll be going home when we leave the bath house...

I don't wanna go home yet... [Player]-niichan, I wanna stay with you a little longer...!

Zhurong whines, occasionally rubbing his sleepy-looking eyes.

3 options (Same Response)
Come on, don't cry...	You're so precious...	Hmm... What should I do?

Oh yeah, Sarutahiko-niichan mentioned that there's a vacant room we can stay in.

That means we should spend the night together! Come on, whaddya say?

3 options (Same Response)
Sounds like a plan!	Guess I could since it's only for today.	(Well, I guess we're going to bed soon.)

YAAAAAY! Thanks, [Player]-niichan!!

Zhurong spins around and jumps in excitement. Without hesitation, he tugs you along.

Japanese-style Room

Ehehe~ I'm so happy you're staying overnight! Time to change into a yukata!

Zhurong hurries out of sight and starts changing clothes.

Tada~! Check it out! I look just like the person over there!

2 options (Same Response)
You were super prepared for this, huh...?	So you wanted to do this from the start!

Ack! T-That's because I didn't want to say g-goodbye to you, [Player]-niichan...

B-But hey! T-The futon looks soft and comfy! Perfect for sleeping on!

3 options
Someone's a little excited.	Let's chat while we rest.	Are you gonna doodle if you lie down first?
Yeah, feels like I'm staying the night with you! *Giggles* This is gonna be a blast~	Yeah! Talking like this makes us feel closer! It really feels like we're staying the night together!	Yup! It'll be something to kill time, [Player]-niichan!

Zhurong clings tightly to your arm and is smiling happily from the bottom of his heart.

Hehe... You're warm, [Player]-niichan...

This is the first time I ever laid down in a futon with someone... Until I came to Tokyo, I was always, always alone.

3 options
The elementary school's dormitory is far away.	You'll be alone after?	If there's a place you want to see, we can go together again.
Awww... If only you were in elementary school, [Player]-niichan... That way I'll get to be with you a lot more... Buuuut, it's okay for me to sneak out just to come see you, [Player]-niichan!	Yeah, that's right. I'm sure there's all sorts of fun things to do...	You mean it!? Then I want to go to an amusement park that's closeby! And there's a festival being held soon! I wanna check it out!! But but... Awww it's so hard to decide!

Zhurong continues with the chatter in excitement as if talking was fun and irresistable.

When he feels satisfied from talking for a while, Zhurong buries his face in your chest.

[Player]-niichan... It was really nice meeting everyone.

I'm only here now because you and everyone detained me during that time.

So if something's bothering you, just let me know!

Zhurong lifts his buried face on your chest and smiles shyly.

Feeling drowsy thanks to the warm futon, Zhurong rubs his eyes and lets out a big yawn.

2 options (Same Response)
We can chat some more tomorrow morning.	Let's get some sleep today.

Yeah, I know. It feels like a waste going to bed already, but...

When I wake up tomorrow, I'll be by your side again, [Player]-niichan.

Zhurong agrees to fall asleep, but doesn't want to close his eyes.

Before you can ask what's wrong, Zhurong opens his mouth--

[Player]-niichan... Can you pet my head...?

It'll help me fall asleep easier. Please?

2 options (Same Response)
Honestly, you're so spoiled~	You're such a good boy. Good boy~

With his cute eyes, Zhurong soon falls asleep with a delighted smile.

Even when making sleeping noises, Zhurong's expression changes as he talks in his sleep.

It's possible, that by meeting you and the others, he may be dreaming about the prism of colors spreading...
