Track 1

Fwaah~ That was a good night's resttt.

Yesterday it was back-to-back from an outdoor shoot~ then a lesson~ then a meeting that ran late, after allat I just passed out...

Taotao~! Let's go to the group baths together! On sluggish mornings like this, nothin' beats a good soak!

Mmm.....

C'mooon.

...Mm...later.....

....Uh oh. He turned over and became a blanket burrito. You totes pulled an all nighter playing Anigun again, didn't you—!

HMPH! Fiiine, Chii'll just go and have the bath allll to himself!

Ah, but we've got a general meeting later today, so make sure to at least take a shower. Ok Tao~?

mmm.......

It's supes early, I wonder if I'll run into anyone yet?

Oya... Good morning, Chihiro.

And just as I thought that, Yodachasu joins the party~! I'm sho happy to have a morning bath buddy!

Fufu... I just came back to the dorm, you see.

Last night, a customer passed out in the bar so I took them home via taxi... and I ended up staying there until morning.

💧 W-wooow~.... is it really okie for me to be hearing this........?

It's nothing like that, don't worry. It's just that they lived 3 hours away from here.

Ohhhhh! Well, having customers who come in from so far away is something to feel thanksies for, right?

Indeed, I'm grateful from the bottom of my heart.

It's just that... sitting in a taxi for that long has made my back ache.

Ah, in that case—

♪ Ta-daaaa! ☆ I brought some bath salts with me today, yay!

It's said to reach your very core, so let's use 'em to relax together!

Bath salts, huh...

That sounds lovely, but can we really use those in the group baths? They might cause damage to the pipes, or something like that...

Chii thought so too, so I asked Prezzy about it the other day...

Somehow, the group baths here were designed in a way that lets you use bath salts no probs!

I dunno the deets, but I guess it was a system developed all by the previous owner.

I see.. how groundbreaking.

Right, right!! So let's hurry and get in the bath ☆

These bath salts are Chiimon branded ones. I'm TOTES excited to try em out ☆

Fwaahh... warms ya right up....

♪ Taking a bath while it's still bright out kinda feels like a reward....!

Right, Yodachasu?

....M.. mm.......

Huh? Yodachasu, are you eeping?

Mm.... it feels... so good..... my hips..... are going to melt—

?!?! STOPSTOP, YODACHASU STOOOOPPP!! YOU CAN'T BE SAYING THAT KINDA SEXY STUFF FIRST THING IN THE MORNIIIINGGG!!!!

Mm.....? Oh, my apologies. I must have been so relaxed that I fell asleep.

Geez, be careful—! Falling asleep in the bath is seriously dangerous!

Yes, you're right. I'll be careful.

That aside, these bath salts you've brought have quite the healing effects. I'll have to thank the previous owner as well.

I'm pretty sure the dorm used to be a hot spring inn, right? And Prezzy bought it, renovated everything and turned it into HAMA house and stuff.

Apparently so. I heard that the names of our rooms are the same as back then.

The names are kinda silly but totes cutieful~!

Yodachasu and Nagipeko's room is called "Drowned Rat, Dry It", yeah? All the names are on a diff level of weird, it's sho awesome!

Chihiro and Tao's "Rooster Warrior" room is also quite unique.

I was a bit confused when I first heard it, but I appreciate it more and more every time.

(HAMA House's time as a hot spring inn...... I wonder what that was like....?)

Mr. President, I believe everyone is now present.

Alright, we should start the meeting now, but...

Before that, there is someone I'd like to introduce to everyone.

Yes. To everyone at HAMA Tours, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules to be here!

And this nice gentleman is?

This is Ejimura-san. He was HAMA House's previous owner!

EH. This timing's insane. I was JUST talking to Yodachasu about him this morning!

Speak of the devil, right?

I heard that you took over your father's business after selling HAMA House.

Yes. It's just that, the current state of the business is terrible, or should I say... it's a disaster......

With that said, HAMA Tours has revitalized HAMA into a dedicated tourist zone and brought in more than 20 million tourists. I'd like to consult with you all on the secrets to hospitality ....!

I'm very glad to hear your kind words. We would be happy to assist.

We're already connected by HAMA House, after all!

Ejimura-san, what kind of business do you run?

That is of course, a hot spring inn!

Wha? That means....?

You sold your own hot spring inn, and then took over your father's hot spring inn?

Your family's got quite the taste, huh.

It is the natural order for amphibians to breed more amphibians.

So... what exactly d'ya want us to do?

I'm thinking of assigning a few people to be in charge of this. They'll head over to Ejimura-san's inn and write a review.

Just like with the night cruise, we'll use our tourism and hospitality experience to offer insights on what to improve.

I see. My passion for hot springs is absolutely stirring right now, but... there's an event in ward 10 I need to attend to. I don't think I'll be able to join this time.

Okie dokie ☆ Chii's eager to the MAX to help Ejipyon!

Ejipyon......?

I believe that nickname is referring to Ejimura-san.

While I was taking a bath, I was daydreaming about going to a hot spring - so it totes feels like destiny!

Alright, then Chihiro-kun will be the leader for this assignment!

Ah, how bout you join too, Yodachasu?

Yes. I do love hot springs after all, and I'd be happy to be of help.

In terms of member count, I believe that 2 or 3 more people should join.

Oh right, Ejimura-san wanted a critical review yea?

How harsh should it be.... just a lil bit? Or to the point where he'll be utterly destroyed...?

Hmm~... is he a masochist?

Uhm... It's rather embarrassing to say this, but the inn I was running here at HAMA House wasn't well off either...

I wanted to get a fresh start and use the funds from the sale to rebuild my father's inn, but that failed too.... I think it's time for me to change my approach!

Therefore, I'd like everyone's honest opinions. It'd be very helpful.

Understood. Let's keep that in mind as we decide on the rest of the members.

—After a very objective and rigorous selection process...

We've decided that Chihiro-kun and Yodaka-san shall be joined by these 3!

Ohhhh. HAMA Tours' harshest members.

Harsh, and rather rebellious....

Good grief... This sounds like a pain, but if we just have to soak in the hot springs then I guess I'll go. I can just pass my work over to someone else, right?

(All he does is paint his nails and slack off…..)

Well, that's true. Sitting in the hot springs is way easier than what we usually do.

....I can't fuckin' stand being compared to these guys.

The noon team also recommended our own outspoken and sharp-tongued member, Uu-chan, to give his meticulous and critical advice but....

Our exams are coming up.

❓️ Eh? They are?

Iso, take.....

Uh, being lumped in with this group would literally be the worst.

Now then, thank you all so much for your cooperation!

Same to you.
