Kokona
Alright, the wash basin preparation is complete. Are you done, Kathrina-chan?
Kathrina
I've finished refilling the shampoo and putting up the promotional posters. How about you, Shizuka?
Shizuka
This side's okay too. The mirror is sparkling clean.
Kathrina
...Not a single cloud on it. It looks like a professional did it. Shizuka, just how seriously did you polish it...?
Shizuka
I concentrated so much I almost forgot I was an actor.
Kokona
In a way, you could say you were completely absorbed in the role, couldn't you?
Shizuka
True. I feel like I could perfectly play a bathhouse employee role now.
Kathrina
I wonder if there'll ever be a chance to play such a role...
Kathrina
Still, preparing a bathhouse is really hard work. I might be less tired just doing acting practice.
Kokona
Sorry. Even though it's your precious day off, I made you go along with my idea...
Kokona
Since it's a place we use every day, I wanted to properly give back at times like this...
Shizuka
Don't worry about it. I understand your feelings too, Kokona.
Kathrina
Right. I like this bath too. Helping out like this once in a while isn't bad.
Shizuka
Besides, today's a special day. It can't be helped that Kokona is excited.
Kokona
Ehehe...I'm really looking forward to the spring seasonal bath!
Panda
Sorry for the wait! This side is ready too!
Chisa
The seasonal bath ingredients have arrived on the scene.
Kathrina
Oh, speak of the devil.
Yae
Heave ho...heave ho...! We have lots of cherry blossom petals and tree bark too~!
Kokona
Whoa, that looks heavy! Yae-chan, are you okay!?
Shizuka
Hey, Panda, honestly! You shouldn't make Yae-chan strain herself!
Yae
That's not it, Shizuka-san. I asked to carry it myself.
Shizuka
R-Really...?
Panda
Yes...she wouldn't listen even when we said we'd carry it...
Chisa
I witnessed the powerful might of Niizuma.
Yae
Since I'm helping out, I want to be useful too!
Shizuka
Yae-chan...you're so admirable...!
Yae
Come to think of it, Kathrina-san was right. It seems like petals alone don't produce much fragrance.
Kokona
Eh? Is that so, Kathrina-chan?
Kathrina
It was written online. If you want to make the fragrance stand out, you need more ingenuity.
Kathrina
So this time, I had cherry tree bark prepared too. When I consulted with Shamo-san, she immediately gave the okay.
Shizuka
You went to all that trouble.
Kathrina
Well, um...I thought if we're going to do it, we should make it a nice smelling bath.
Kokona
A seasonal bath that Kathrina-chan went to such lengths for~. Uuu~! I'm getting so excited~!
Panda
Well then, shall we put it in the bathtub right away? Niizumachii, let everyone help with this, okay?
Chisa
We can't miss the first attack.
Yae
Yes, of course ♪.
Kokona
Alright...then let's put it all in at once. On three!
Kokona
Wow...the whole bathtub is pink! How pretty...
Shizuka
And it smells really good. This should satisfy even Kathrina, shouldn't it?
Panda
The carefully crafted scenting was a great success!
Chisa
Kathrina...from now on, I'll allow you to call yourself a seasonal bath artisan.
Kathrina
I don't need such a title...
Kathrina
But I'm certainly satisfied with this.
Kokona
The customers will definitely be happy too!
Yae
While we're at it, why don't we call some friends? I'd like to try bathing with Shigure-chan and my senpai ♪.
Kokona
That's a good idea! I'll try calling Nikako-chan and Iruru-san!
Chisa
Should we try inviting Karasu too?
Panda
I don't think she'll come at all...but let's try asking.
Shizuka
What about you, Kathrina?
Kathrina
Let's see...I'll try calling Mona-san and Lilja-san. I'm pretty sure Lilja-san loves baths.
Kokona
Uuu~! I want to hear everyone's impressions soon! I'm looking forward to it~!
Kokona
Ahh~...this seasonal bath really is the best~!
Chisa
Being able to enter the first bath during the private timing is a privilege of dorm residents.
Yae
Was it really okay for me to intrude...?
Panda
It's fine! You worked hard to help too!
Kokona
That's right. Since it's such a wonderful bath, it would be a waste not for everyone to enjoy it!
Kathrina
Speaking of which, I got a reply from Mona-san earlier.
Kathrina
Apparently Lilja-san is already adjusting her schedule. Even though she likes baths, to go that far...
Kokona
I hope Lilja-san likes it.
Shizuka
No need to worry. Just being able to get in a different kind of bath is fun in itself.
Kokona
That's certainly true. Rock baths at hot springs and such make me excited just looking at them.
Kokona
The Sirius bath is of course the best, but I'd like to experience lots of different baths too.
Chisa
Ho how ho...
