TV Voice: "The next feature is...'Attention! Bargain Time Police!' We'll show you how to save money when shopping at supermarkets and department store basements..."

Ramona and Lilja: ...

Ramona: It's been a while since I've had such a leisurely day off. Are you also off for the whole day today, Lilja?

Lilja: Yeah. I don't have anything particular to do, so I'm just watching TV.

Ramona: Have you already been to your daily bath?

Lilja: Not yet. But I'm thinking of going to a sand bath later.

Ramona: Sand bath?

Lilja: A new one opened nearby. It's been talked about for having excellent detox and moisturising effects.

Lilja: I'm looking forward to seeing how much my beauty can be trained at a new place.

Ramona: Hmm. That certainly sounds good. I'd like to try it myself sometime.

Lilja: Then you should come with me.

Ramona: I can go too?

Lilja: Of course. I'd welcome you. Let's spend some hot time together, naked?

Ramona: Stop saying things that could be misunderstood! I'm always telling you that!

TV Commercial: "Exploring three thousand years of mysterious history, an Ancient Egypt exhibition is being held in Ueno! A collection of carefully selected masterpieces including sculptures, pottery, and jewelry."

TV Commercial: "Furthermore, there are tons of highlights including a statue of the last queen, Cleopatra!"

Ramona: Hm? An exhibition in Ueno?

Lilja: There are many museums there. They do them often.

Ramona: But it's being advertised quite extensively. And it says it's currently running with great success.

Lilja: Hmm...

Ramona: Just watching TV like this is boring, isn't it?

Ramona: Before going to the sand bath, how about we go see this Ancient Egypt exhibition?

Lilja: ...I'm fine. I'm not interested.

Ramona: Don't say that, let's go together! You don't have any plans anyway, and you'd be bored staying here, right?

Lilja: Well...

Ramona: (Hmm...there's an interesting looking exhibition going on, so I'd definitely like to see it, but going alone would be a bit lonely.)

Ramona: (But Lilja doesn't seem very interested, so isn't there something that might catch her attention...)

Ramona: Mm...? Come to think of it, they mentioned earlier that there's a statue of Cleopatra.

Lilja: It seems so.

Ramona: When you mention Cleopatra, wasn't she a woman with beauty so great she's counted among the three most beautiful women in the world?

Ramona: A statue modeled after such a woman would surely be beautiful.

Lilja: Beautiful...?

Ramona: Yes, that's right! I hear that these kinds of exhibitions also have background information about the exhibits and historical records about the people involved.

Ramona: Maybe we could learn about Cleopatra's beauty methods...and by extension, the secrets of her beauty.

Lilja: ! ...I've changed my mind. I'm going too, to the Ancient Egypt exhibition.

Ramona: Really!?

Lilja: Beauty that remains in history...I'm interested. I want to get even a little closer to that beauty myself.

Ramona: (This is also due to Lilja's obsession with beauty, I suppose. But I'm surprised)

Lilja: ...What are you spacing out for, Ramo? Get ready quickly.

Ramona: Y-Yeah, sorry. I'll get ready right away.

Ramona: (I really am surprised...)
