Kokona
Dinner was delicious~! Sasuga-chan's somen full course was the best as always!
Chisa
I'm deeply honoured by your praise. Since Niizuma was here tonight too, I couldn't help but get fired up.
Yae
Ehehe, thank you for the meal. I'm completely full ♪.
Panda
But the wanko somen was definitely too much...my stomach's so full I'm not going to be able to move for a while...
Kathrina
It was the right choice to finish bathing first...getting in now would be impossible...
Yae
Come to think of it, it was packed with customers today too. I'm happy the seasonal bath is so popular.
Panda
It's been a while since we started, but it's still being talked about!
Panda
There are great reviews saying it makes your skin silky smooth when you get in. Actually, I feel like my skin complexion has gotten better.
Kokona
My throat's condition has gotten better too. Maybe this is also an effect of the seasonal bath!
Panda
It really feels like nothing but good things~.
Panda
If only we didn't have that heavy labour to do, it would be perfect...
Kathrina
Ah...the daily petal replacement...
Yae
Is it that hard?
Kokona
Yeah...I had no idea that petals that absorbed water would be so heavy...
Kathrina
They clog the drain easily too, so we have to clean frequently...
Shizuka
You should put up with that much. It's for getting into the seasonal bath in perfect condition.
Kokona
I know~. We want customers to get into a clean bath.
Kokona
Speaking of which, I was wondering...what other kinds of seasonal baths are there?
Kathrina
Using fruits and herbs seems to be standard. For really unusual ones, apparently they put in wine or ice.
Yae
Kathrina-san, you're so knowledgeable! As expected of a seasonal bath artisan ♪.
Kathrina
You still remember that title...
Kokona
Seasonal baths are really deep...while we're at it, I'd like to get into various baths and research them.
Chisa
...!
Panda
Huh, Sassu?
Kathrina
She suddenly left. I wonder what's wrong?
Chisa
Sorry to keep you waiting...
Panda
Ah, she's back...wait, what did you bring!?
Chisa
Travel pamphlets. I collected them from stations and travel agencies when I had time.
Yae
These are...all for hot spring trips?
Yae
That's an amazing amount!
Chisa
Without this much, it wouldn't be proper preliminary research.
Kokona
Sasuga-chan, do you want to go to hot springs...?
Chisa
Eh? Wasn't that what you were saying, Kokona? That you wanted to experience more different baths.
Kokona
...Ah! Could it be, the conversation we had in the bath before!? I just said it casually, but you remembered...!
Kathrina
But that's a bit too hasty. Travel isn't something you can easily go on.
Chisa
With things like this, strike while the iron is hot. Hot springs won't wait for us.
Panda
No, they'll totally wait for us. It'd be scary if they ran away instead...
Chisa
That's not true. Look, check out this pamphlet.
Panda
What's this...? "To enjoy the best scenery, now is the time!" "Enjoy hot springs with seasonal ingredients"...
Chisa
See? They won't wait, right?
Panda
Well, I understand what Sassu is trying to say...
Panda
Still, hot springs huh...for nearby places, it'd be Hakone, right? Seems like there's lots of delicious food too.
Yae
I know about this Kusatsu place! My dad and mum talked about going there once.
Yae
The water is really hot, so they stir it around to cool it down, right? I've always wanted to try that once ♪.
Chisa
Niizuma has good instincts. Experience really is important.
Shizuka
What about you, Sasuga? Do you have somewhere you want to go?
Chisa
I want to try this place called Arima. Apparently the famous golden spring makes your skin silky smooth.
Shizuka
That's unexpected, Sasuga caring about her skin...
Chisa
I want to achieve smoothness that surpasses a boiled egg. I'll be the one to become a true post-bath egg.
Panda
What she wants to do is normal, but her motivation is too mysterious...
Yae
Where would you like to go, Shizuka-san? Since you like baths, you probably have somewhere you're curious about.
Shizuka
Let's see...
Shizuka
I'd like to go here. Zao Hot Springs. I want to try slowly soaking in an outdoor bath while looking at snow in winter.
Panda
That's surprisingly refined taste...but it's very Oshizu-chan-like.
Shizuka
That's fine, isn't it? Spacing out in a bath during cold winter is the best.
Kokona
Heh heh heh...
Kathrina
Kokona, don't you have any hot springs you want to go to?
Kokona
Me...I want to go to all of them!
Chisa
This is unexpectedly greedy...
Panda
That is surprising. I thought Kokochi would give a more modest answer.
Kokona
...The old me might have.
Kokona
My family, my parents were busy. We hardly ever went on family trips.
Kokona
Even after joining Sirius, so many things happened that made my head spin. I never even thought about wanting to go on trips.
Kathrina
Kokona...
Kokona
But now it's different. Like this, I can naturally talk about going on trips with everyone.
Kokona
I'm so happy about that...I thought I couldn't choose where to go.
Kokona
So I want to go everywhere! Even if it's impossible right away...someday for sure, together with everyone!
Yae
...Then we need to properly secure our long vacation schedules.
Kokona
Eh?
Panda
Panda and Sassu will perfectly plan the trip!
Chisa
Leave it to SasuPan Tourism. We'll make sure you have the most fun.
Kokona
W-Wait a minute! What I was talking about was someday...
Shizuka
Even so, everyone wants to prepare.
Kathrina
Of course after hearing something like that. Really, Kokona is unconsciously sinful.
Kokona
Aww...
Kathrina
...We're definitely going on that trip. I won't let you say it's impossible anymore, okay?
Kokona
...Yeah. Everyone, thank you!
