Track 6

Hm-hmhm~~ ♪ A nice open air bath is always peak!

So this is the final boss of this crazy ass inn...

From what I can see thru this frosted glass, doesn't seem there's anymore weird decorations. Looks like you can actually relax in there.

The spot offers a nice view as well.

I pray that nothing bad happens.

Alrighty, let's go!

!!! Shit.

Eh....?

I thought the inn was closed today....!

We gotta bounce!

??? W-who were those guys...? Didn't they reserve the place for us....

Dumbass. Those guys've gotta be thieves.....!

EHH?!? But what would you steal from a bathing area—

...The bath is empty.

Woa, it really is.

The markings here point to the drain valve being forced open.

Are you fuckin' serious..... This is way more than a lil prank....!

S-so... those guys were 'hot spring thieves'?!

That usually means people who steal from changing rooms.

That's not the damn point. We gotta go after 'em!!

AH! R-ryunya, wait up!

Well, this is pretty annoying. I was looking forward to getting in the bath.

Perhaps the naughty rats need to be punished. Let's corner them from somewhere else.

......

(The thieves fled inside the building rather than out, probably because the security drone has began it's patrol around here....)

(The drone should move away from this area after a while. Which means—)

WAIT UP YOU FUCKERS!!!!!

WHY THE HELL WOULD WE???!!!

Oi, these guys are chasing us in their towels....!

*huff...puff...* An idol running around like this is unacceptable....!

IS THIS GONNA BE A MEGATON-CLASS SCANDAL?! If Nayuuki finds out, he's gonna burst into lightniiing!!

Cross that bridge when we get to it!

WHA!?

HA! One of the thieves tripped on the shit here and fell—

OWOWOW——

WAWAWAAA?! Ryunya, did ya stubstub your toe on the horns of that statue?!

Natsuyaki...... just go on..... .without me........

R-roger....! Take care of yourself....!

Oh, huh. Chihiro, you came this way too?

Ten-chamu, Kugurinu....!

You're quite the dummy. Now us splitting up earlier was pointless.

I'm sorryyy! I was just running as fast as I could—

Wait, where's Yodachasu....?

Alright, now where could Ejimura-san be...

Ah, there he is.

Well if it isn't Natsume-sama. I see you've tried on your crystal samue!

Oh no, all I have on is my towel....

Oh.

Just a moment ago, we encountered some thieves who broke into the open air bath. Everyone was so frazzled that we went out like this.

WWWHAAAA?! T-t-t-th-thiiiieeeves.....!?!

Is everyone alright!?

Yes. The other 4 are currently pursuing them. I contacted the police immediately as well.

As for the damage.... for some reason, it seems like all the water had been drained from the baths.

The water....? AAAAHH, it couldn't be.....!!

Hm? Did you figure something out?

Those thieves... might have been after the buried treasure.....

Buried treasure.... you mean, the one we had to find in our activity?

No.... You see, I was once led astray by a strange advisor....

"Aside from the activity, there is a REAL buried treasure in the premises. The hot spring water in the outdoor baths serve as means to hiding it."

....that was the rumor I spread on the internet.

I see... So, they found that rumor and decided to barge into the hot springs.

At the time, I thought that it would bring in more customers......

But I quickly realized that lying was not right. I immediately issued a correction and an apology, but...

Those thieves probably didn't look into it.

Huuuu....! Internet literacy really is dying........!

We must have found them right before they could discover the truth—

So they might come back to the open air baths once the security drone has finished it's patrol.

Is suppose waiting until police arrive is our only option....

No...

Let's capture them ourselves.
