Kamira
A certain place... This is Sirius Bath, you know?

Lilja
Yes. It's the greatest secret to beauty.

Lilja
Let's get in quickly. When you warm up and relax, your heart is cleansed too.

Kamira
You're going in like it's your own home!? W-wait, wait! Don't leave me behind!

Lilja
Ahh... so soothing...

Kamira
Ahhh~... It feels amazing... A huge bath is the best...

Kamira
I might fall asleep...

Kamira
By the way! Lilja-san, you used to be a model, right? Was that before you came to Japan?

Lilja
Yes. I did it in Finland. My mother was a model, so I was invited because of that.

Kamira
Wow~, so you're a super beautiful mother-daughter pair. This is completely news to me, everyone has their own history~.

Kamira
But, being a model in Finland and now being in a theater troupe in Japan, isn't that completely different?

Kamira
I'd imagine Lilja-san could still be going strong as a model. Even earlier, you were really amazing.

Kamira
Ah, sorry if there were some circumstances I'm not aware of.

Lilja
No. It was just boring through the camera.

Kamira
Boring?

Lilja
Being seen in photos doesn't feel good. I want people to see the real me.

Kamira
I see~... Well, I guess photos and stage performances do feel different.

Lilja
Yes. The first time I stood on stage, everyone's gaze on me... it felt good.

Kamira
Ah, I understand! Like when the lights and applause make your skin tingle, and your heart races!

Lilja
Right? I thought, I wish that moment could continue forever. Bathing in the light, my whole body getting hot... I couldn't forget that heat.

Lilja
So when Gingaza's scout came, I nodded immediately. I thought I could stand in that place again.

Kamira
I see...

Lilja
...I just told you a secret I haven't even told Ramo.

Kamira
Ehh!? Seriously!?

Lilja
Fufu. Well, who knows.

Kamira
Wow, that makes me curious! So, getting back to our conversation,

Kamira
You came all the way to Japan because Gingaza scouted you?

Lilja
Yes. Because there was no reason to refuse, right?

Kamira
But coming all the way from Finland to Japan is quite a big decision. I've never even thought about moving abroad.

Kamira
If someone told me now, "Come to a theater troupe in Finland," I couldn't just say, "Yes, I understand~."

Kamira
In a foreign country, you don't understand the language or values, and honestly, you don't know if it will work out when you try.

Lilja
Yes.

Kamira
This might be rude, but... didn't you think, "What if I don't like it?"

Lilja
I didn't think that.

Kamira
Whoa, an immediate answer...

Lilja
What?

Kamira
No... I just think you're amazing...

Shizuka
Oh? I thought I'd be the first one here, but there are guests already.

Lilja
Shizuka. Moi.

Shizuka
Good evening. What an unusual combination.

Kamira
Hehe, we're enjoying the bath ahead of you.

Shizuka
No, I'm the one intruding during your bath time.

Shizuka
Did you two come together?

Kamira
Well, it's a long story—

Shizuka
A magazine model, huh... So why are you at Sirius Bath?

Kamira
That's because of Master Lilja's one request? We're really relaxing here in this big bath.

Shizuka
I see. I feel like I'm being tricked somehow...

Lilja
I'm not tricking you. As proof, everyone at Sirius is beautiful, right?

Kamira
That's true! Oshizu is incredibly beautiful too. Your skin is like silk.

Shizuka
H-hey, don't look at me like that...

Kamira
Your face is too perfectly shaped, and aren't your eyelashes super long?

Kamira
Oh, wait!!

Kamira
Oshizu, don't you have a perfect ENCHANTÉEK face!?
