Hweehh~~ I'm all drenched from that treasure hunt~

It's rather early, but how about we go for a soak in the hot springs? The open air bath is still under maintenance, however the indoor bath seems to be available throughout the day.

Ryui Icon
Ryui

Let's do that then.

Kuguri Icon

Surely the main attraction here would be at least half-decent.

Ten Icon

Apparently, they bring in hot spring water for the public baths daily from a famous resort. So we don't need to worry about that.

Chihiro Icon
Chihiro

Wow! Tenchamu, in spite of everythin' you actually prepped~♪

Ten Icon

Ahh. Before we left, Raito-san was being kinda nerdy and way too helpful... or well, he was kind enough to teach me a lotta stuff.

Fooor fuuuck's saaaakeee.......

WHY IN THE DAMN HELL IS THE BATHROOM DECORATED LIKE AN ART MUSEUM!!!??!!?!

Yodaka Icon
Yodaka

If you lose your temper, you'll overheat quickly my boy.

Chihiro Icon
Chihiro

Hhmm~... I guess it's kinda like how public baths tend to have pics of Mt. Fuji....?

Ryui Icon
Ryui

ARE YOU EVEN HEARING YOURSELF!!!!

Ten Icon
Ten

No matter where you look, you'll make eye contact with one of the statues. Isn't that pretty unsettling?

Kuguri Icon
Kuguri

Really? I don't mind feeling like somebody's watching me.

Ten Icon
Ten

Wooow. As expected of Kuguri-san.

Ryui Icon
Ryui

Ugh..... the hot springs themselves are nice, but.....

Chihiro Icon
Chihiro

....Yeah.. you're right....

Check 2: I wanna relax in the hot springs~

Chihiro Icon
Chihiro

(I guess this also "needs improvement"...)

(But, even Ejipyon knows that there are things that need to be improved...)

(What we need to do is think of some more in-depth advice...!)

Mmmm~~~.... God of Nice Ideas, descend upon usss~

Yodaka Icon
Yodaka

Chihiro. You have a frown on your face.

Chihiro Icon
Chihiro

Ah.... my bad. Active idols need to be careful about this stuff, even off duty.....

Yodaka Icon
Yodaka

Our food will be served soon, so how about we have a discussion while we eat? With everyone else, of course.

Chihiro Icon
Chihiro

....Let's do that. Big thanksies for looking out for me...!

Chihiro Icon
Chihiro

Wowzers...!! LMFAO!! Ejipyon, your naming sense is defo totes brilliant!

Ryui Icon
Ryui

You're just as ridiculous as him if you think this is funny. It's completely absurd for any normal person.

Ten Icon
Ten

Huh? But in terms of looks...

Yodaka Icon
Yodaka

It's a classic kaiseki meal.1 You could even say that it's the ideal.

Kuguri Icon
Kuguri

The appetizer is... octopus and tofu with sesame dressing.

Chihiro Icon
Chihiro

It actually is wobbly jiggly octopus and sesame! Once you figure out the menu, everything turns out to be a normal dish, yea?

Ryui Icon
Ryui

Then... the "skybean" written in the starters is actually soramame. I was wondering what the hell it was talking about.

Ten Icon
Ten

"The Rice Thief, walking on" is ayu fish simmered in soy sauce. It does pair well with rice.

Yodaka Icon
Yodaka

"You and 3 x 3 Fish Love Rivals" is 3 kinds of sashimi and 3 kinds of sauces.... looks like we'll be able to enjoy the different flavors.

Chihiro Icon
Chihiro

Ejipyon, is this somethin' you're doing on purpose? Like, the crazy gap moe of the names and the food?

Ejimura Icon
Ejimura

No, that wasn't the intention..... The food here is handled by a traditional cooking restaurant that has had a close relationship with my father and I, even during his time as owner!

Due to the immense trust and proven track record we have, we offer the same quality service to our customers. As a token of our gratitude, everyday I personally name each menu item.

Ten Icon
Ten

Ohh. So the menu changes everyday.

Ejimura Icon
Ejimura

We will now bring out each dish following their respective courses, so please relax and enjoy your meal....!

Everyone

....Phew.

Chihiro Icon
Chihiro

♪ The food.... was shooo tasty.....

(So of course, this one’s getting marked as "great"....!)

Ryui Icon
Ryui

...I was thinking. This inn was probably pretty decent during his father's time, right?

Kuguri Icon
Kuguri

Probably. Isn't it just as we said from the start?

Yodaka Icon
Yodaka

Which was....

Ten Icon
Ten

Just remove everything Ejimura-san added, and it's all good.

Chihiro Icon
Chihiro

Nono, Ejipyon's sense of style is perfectly fine! Chii was really amused by the names of the dishes.....

Chii can feel the potential! Actu, it's nothing but potential!!

Ryui Icon
Ryui

And what we're saying is that it's no use to think of potential. Everyone's got their strengths and weaknesses. No need to force him to fit into this inn if he's not good with it.

Chihiro Icon
Chihiro

B-but, Ejipyon really wants to run a hot spring, so it really just comes down to bringing out the best in this....!

Kuguri Icon
Kuguri

Stubborn nyuszi. Isn't it about time you gave up?

Hmph, hmphhmphhmphhmph.........

Yodaka Icon

Our discussion seems to be circling back...

Chihiro Icon
Chihiro

Then how about~~~..... Ah! I've got it!

In times like this, you gotta get your body moving!

Ten Icon
Ten

Uh, we just did while looking for that buried treasure.

Chihiro Icon
Chihiro

Nono! We haven't done "that" classic hot spring activity yet, right ☆
