[00:02] Arisugawa Mom
I'm home!
[00:06] Kaname
Huh? And who were you again?
[00:09] Arisugawa Mom
How awful!
[00:10] Arisugawa Mom
Did you really forget your
mom's face, Kaname-chan?!
[00:13] Kaname
Come to think of it, I remember
there being some mom
[00:15] Kaname
who ditched her daughters
to go hang out overseas.
[00:17] Arisugawa Mom
Your mom was feeling unstable, okay?!
[00:20] Arisugawa Mom
Her husband running off with some
younger woman was a real shock!
[00:23] Arisugawa Mom
So she tends to do crazy stuff
out of the blue sometimes!
[00:25] Arisugawa Mom
Do you understand?!
[00:27] Arisugawa Mom
Please say you do!
[00:30] Kaname
You actually realize it's crazy, huh?
[00:32] Arisugawa Mom
But it's gonna be okay!
[00:34] Arisugawa Mom
Because your mom has come home with
a lovely gift for her daughters!
[00:40] Nasa
A pair of tickets to a hot spring?
[00:42] Kaname
Yep. Seems like my mom won it in a contest.
[00:47] Kaname
But we can't go, so I figured I'd
ask if you and Tsukassan wanted to.
[00:53] Nasa
No, no, we couldn't do that.
[00:55] Nasa
You should go with your family.
[00:57] Nasa
I thought about that,
[01:00] Nasa
but they're only good through June.
[01:03] Nasa
Which means my sister will
be in the middle of finals.
[01:07] Nasa
I've gotta tend to the bathhouse.
And as far as mom goes...
[01:11] Arisugawa Mom
Hot springs remind me of my honeymoon
with my runaway husband.
[01:16] Nasa
Why enter the contest, then?
[01:19] Arisugawa Mom
I dunno!
[01:20] Nasa
I mean, I'm happy to accept them,
[01:23] Nasa
but are you sure?
[01:24] Kaname
Of course I'm sure!
[01:26] Kaname
Besides, you two haven't actually
gone on a honeymoon yet, right?
[01:31] Nasa
Oh, right...
[01:32] Kaname
There you go!
[01:37] Nasa
Kaname-chan said to use
these for our honeymoon.
[01:42] Tsukasa
That's really generous of her.
[01:44] Nasa
Right?
[01:45] Tsukasa
What kind of hot spring is it, anyway?
[01:47] Nasa
It's supposed to be really amazing.
[01:49] Nasa
The rooms come with open-air baths.
[01:56] Nasa
Wh-What should we do?
[01:59] Tsukasa
What do you mean?
[02:00] Nasa
Well... I mean... it'd be just the two of us.
[02:06] Tsukasa
R-Right... I see what you mean.
[02:10] Tsukasa
But... we're married, so...
[02:14] Tsukasa
We might as well go, right?
[02:22] Nasa
Yeah!

Don't worry about souvenirs!
Just make sure to enjoy yourselves!

I-It's nice how the weather
has really cleared up.
[04:07] Tsukasa
G-Good point. Even though it's June.
[04:12] Tsukasa
So... how are we making the trip?
[04:14] Nasa
Well... I thought we'd start with the train.
[04:17] Tsukasa
Will we really be able to make
it there without any trouble?
[04:21] Nasa
What do you mean?
[04:22] Tsukasa
Well, remember when we went to Nara before?
[04:26] Nasa
Oh, yeah, I remember.
When Chitose-chan showed up.
[04:30] Tsukasa
Which means we have no idea
when she might pop up,
[04:34] Tsukasa
so we better be careful!
[04:36] Chitose
Wow, a trip to a hot spring? Fancy that.
[04:40] Aurora
Huh...
[04:40] Charlotte
Are we not going after them?
[04:42] Chitose
Of course not.
[04:43] Chitose
I have stuff to do.
Finals are coming up, and I'm busy!
[04:48] Chitose
Besides, I'm not rude enough to crash
a married couple's private time.
[04:52] Aurora
Wow! After all the rude stuff she's
done before! Chitose is growing!
[04:57] Charlotte
I'm so proud of you, Chi-chan!
[04:59] Chitose
Stop making fun of me!
SIGN Hot Spring
[05:04] Nasa
Y'know, this might be my first
time visiting a hot spring.
SIGN This train is a special direct service line to the hot spring in Nagano
SIGN The time now is:
[05:07] Nasa
Have you gone before, Tsukasa-chan?
[05:10] Tsukasa
Oh, good question.
[05:12] Tsukasa
Well, Japanese people have always
had a fondness for hot springs.
[05:15] Tsukasa
Even Yoshimune liked to visit Kusatsu.
[05:18] Tsukasa
I didn't expect the two of us
to visit one together, though.
[05:22] Nasa
Are you feeling nervous?
[05:27] Tsukasa
Wh-Wh-Wh-Why would I feel nervous?
[05:30] Nasa
Well, your face looks a little tight...
[05:33] Tsukasa
I-I-I-I-It's not because
I'm nervous, not at all!
[05:36] Tsukasa
I'm just looking forward to the hot
spring so much that I'm shaking!
[05:40] Nasa
I see! Well, that's a good thing.
[05:42] Tsukasa
Sure is! W-Would you like to eat lunch?
[05:46] Nasa
Oh, sure.
[05:47] Nasa
Even if that's true,
I'm super nervous myself!
[05:56] Tsukasa
Th-This is a huge inn...
[05:59] Nasa
I-It really is massive.
[06:02] Tsukasa
Are we sure this is the right place?
[06:06] Nasa
It should be...
[06:07] Tsukasa
I guess we should go in for now.
[06:14] Tsukasa
W-Wow!
[06:17] Nasa
This is crazy luxurious!
[06:20] Nasa
Are you sure this is the right room?!
[06:22] Staff
Yes, it certainly is.
[06:24] Staff
The open-air bath is part of the room,
but we also have a larger, 24-hour bathhouse,
[06:30] Staff
which you're free to make use of.
[06:33] Nasa
I guess this is the right room after all.
[06:36] Tsukasa
L-Looks like it.
[06:37] Nasa
Well, since we're here,
why don't we hop in the bath?
[06:41] Nasa
N-No, I meant... the big one!
[06:44] Tsukasa
Oh, of course!
[06:49] Tsukasa
So let's spend an hour in the big bath,
and then we'll take a look around town.
[06:55] Nasa
Right. We'll meet up in the
room around 4:00 PM, then.
[06:58] Tsukasa
S-Sure.
[07:00] Nasa
What is it?
[07:02] Tsukasa
W-Well, it's just...
[07:06] Tsukasa
N-Never mind.
[07:09] Tsukasa
At the moment, I can't help but wonder...
[07:11] Tsukasa
How is Nasa-kun so relaxed?!
[07:14] Tsukasa
I'm completely on edge about
visiting a hot spring together.
[07:18] Tsukasa
So how is my darling
maintaining his composure?
[07:22] Tsukasa
Could he be used to it or something?
[07:27] Nasa
I'll see you later, then.
[07:28] Tsukasa
Y-Yeah.
[07:33] Nasa
Well, I guess I'll hit the bath.
[07:45] Nasa
She wasn't kidding when she
said the baths were big!
[07:48] Nasa
Kaname-chan's place isn't bad or anything,
but you can tell the hot spring difference.
[07:53] Nasa
So, here I am, on a hot spring
trip with Tsukasa-chan...
[07:57] Nasa
It doesn't feel real for some reason,
which would explain why I'm not nervous.
[08:02] Nasa
Maybe when a situation is too perfect, you end
up getting a bizarrely peaceful feeling?
[08:08] Nasa
My head's empty. Completely empty.
[08:11] Nasa
Almost so quiet that it scares me.
[08:15] Nasa
Is this that "water still as
a mirror" mental state?!
[08:17] Nasa
Aw, no! I'm on a hot springs trip with my wife!
This is no time to reach enlightenment!
[08:23] Nasa
It's like a second attempt at a honeymoon!
[08:25] Nasa
Which means I need to do everything
I can to make it a memorable one!
[08:31] Nasa
I've got 50 minutes until
Tsukasa-chan gets out of the bath!
[08:33] Nasa
I'll research everything I can
about Kusatsu in the meantime,
[08:36] Nasa
and make sure to provide the best
escort around town possible!
[08:38] Nasa
And with that settled...
[08:39] Nasa
Hey, Jiri!
[08:41] Jiri
How can I help you?
[08:45] Nasa
All right, all right, I think
I've got the broad outline.
[08:48] Nasa
First thing that comes to mind with Kusatsu
is the Yubatake, with all the hot springs.
[08:52] Nasa
Next is yumomi, the water-turning
process. It's crucial.
[08:56] Nasa
There's also getting onsen dumplings,
[08:59] Nasa
tempura maitake mushrooms,
and soba noodles.
[09:01] Nasa
And Kusatsu-style mochi
makes a good souvenir.
[09:03] Nasa
If I can cover all these bases,
this trip will be Kusatsu as heck!
[09:07] Nasa
With that settled,
it's time to get my research on!
[09:10] Nasa
I've got 40 minutes left! First, I'll scope
out the locations on the grounds of the inn!
[09:17] Tokiko
Sorry, could you help me?
[09:19] Tokiko
Do you know where the front desk is?
[09:23] Tokiko
This place is so huge, I'm a bit lost...
[09:26] Nasa
Oh... I just got here myself,
so I'm not really sure.
[09:29] Tsukiko
This place is downright massive. It's hard for
an old timer to get the lay of the the land.
[09:35] Tsukiko
I wish my husband was here, but he
passed away so much sooner than me.
[09:42] Tsukiko
Kusatsu meant so much to us, but now that
I'm here alone, I have no idea what to do.
[09:47] Nasa
Then...
[09:49] Nasa
In that case, I can show you the way!
[09:51] Tsukiko
Really? Oh, I don't know what to say!
[09:54] Nasa
It'll be okay! I still have 30 minutes!
[09:57] Nasa
Once I get her to the front desk,
I'll head straight to the Yubatake!

I think young people
should have more freedom.
[10:27] Kaname
Got tired of studying for the finals, huh?
[10:30] Aya
That's right! I'm totally worn out!
I wanted to go to the hot spring, too!
[10:34] Aya
I wanted to take a bath, get in the sauna,
drink some milk, and then sleep!
[10:37] Aya
Sleep as much as possible! Do you get me?!
[10:39] Kaname
Can't say that I don't, but...
[10:42] Kaname
Okay, how about a change of pace, then?
[10:45] Aya
What do you mean?
[10:47] Kaname
Well, it might not be a hot spring,
but this is still a bathhouse,
[10:50] Kaname
and once the customers are gone, you can
use the big baths as much as you want.
[10:57] Aya
That's my Kaname-chan! Thanks!
[11:00] Kaname
Aw, it's not that big a deal.
[11:09] Aya
So...
[11:11] Aya
What exactly am I doing?
[11:13] Kaname
You're going to be helping
me out for a change of pace.
[11:16] Aya
What?! So the way I'm changing things
up is to go from studying to working?
[11:21] Kaname
Damn right.
[11:22] Kaname
It's not like you're studying to get
into Tokyo University or anything, right?
[11:26] Kaname
You just want to avoid a failing grade
[11:28] Kaname
so you don't have to repeat a year.
That's bare-minimum level.
[11:30] Aya
W-Well...
[11:32] Kaname
And if you're so spineless that two or
three days of that has left you wiped out,
[11:36] Kaname
then give up on studying and learn how
to work right now, you get me?! Slacker!
[11:41] Aya
This is sister abuse...
[11:44] Aya
B-But it's so hard!
[11:46] Aya
I usually sleep through class, so I don't
understand any of this stuff! Y'know?!
[11:51] Kaname
It amazes me how you can be totally honest
about how you deserve what you're getting.
[11:55] Aya
I've always been good at coming
up with excuses to slack off!
[11:58] Kaname
Yeah, you suck, all right.
[12:00] Kaname
But hey, it's all right.
[12:03] Kaname
I never thought you'd be able
to fill in for Tsukassan,
[12:07] Kaname
so I called in some help.
[12:09] Chitose
"Called in some help"?
[12:11] Chitose
Why do I have to help you clean
up your bathhouse, exactly?!
[12:15] Kaname
Why? Well, I figured you'd be lonely with
Tsukassan away on her hot spring trip.
[12:21] Chitose
That doesn't add up to me helping
with your family business!
[12:24] Chitose
And what point is there in wearing
a swimsuit to clean a bathhouse?!
[12:28] Chitose
It's not like I can't
clean in regular clothes!
[12:31] Kaname
But I figured we could have some
fun since you're in a swimsuit!
[12:37] Chitose
What's the big idea?!
[12:38] Kaname
Just goofing around for a change of pace!
[12:41] Chitose
I never said anything about needing
a change of pace in the first place!
[12:44] Chitose
Don't just stand there, say something!
[12:49] Kaname
That's the spirit!
[12:50] Kaname
The best part of a bathhouse is seeing
just how much skin will be on display!
[12:53] Aya
Stop it! You're going to take everything off!
[12:57] Chitose
You wanted a change of pace, right?!
Nudity would be different!
[13:01] Aya
Fine! Two can play at that game!
[13:03] Chitose
Stop it!
[13:07] Chitose
Ugh, what is the point of
this cheap sex appeal?!
[13:11] Chitose
What even is going on here?! Couldn't we be
doing something else?! Seriously! Come on!
[13:16] Kaname
Oh, yeah! Now it's a real bathhouse episode!
[13:19] Aya/Chitose
What are you even talking about?!
[13:28] Tsukasa
I have to admit, Yoritomo really hit the
jackpot when he discovered this place.
[13:32] Tsukasa
There's still something about going on a
trip together that's embarrassing somehow,
[13:37] Tsukasa
despite living together.
[13:40] Tsukasa
An open-air bath in our room...
[13:45] Tsukasa
N-No more!
[13:47] Tsukasa
I'll overheat if I keep thinking
about this in a hot bath!
[13:50] Tsukasa
There'll be plenty of time to bathe later,
[13:53] Tsukasa
so I may as well get out a bit
early and head back to the room.

Now, now, it wasn't a test.
[16:13] Tokiko
I just used my natural acting
ability to get close to him,
[16:16] Tokiko
and then started enjoying myself so much
[16:20] Tokiko
that I decided to push as far as
I could to see what would happen.
[16:24] Tsukasa

[16:26] Tokiko
You should honestly be praising my
willingness to push my limits at this age.

It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance.
[17:22] Tokiko
I've been wanting to meet
you for a long time.
[17:25] Nasa

[17:27] Tokiko
Of course. I was wondering what kind of
person could melt the ice queen's heart.

Hey!
[17:34] Tokiko
I see now, though. Very interesting.
So this is your type?
[17:39] Tsukasa

honestly a relief to hear.
[17:44] Nasa
But still...
[17:46] Nasa
Are you really staying in this
huge room by yourself?
[17:48] Tokiko
Of course! Despite appearances, I am fairly...
[17:52] Tokiko
Well, considerably...
[17:53] Tokiko
Actually, let's say significantly wealthy.
[17:55] Tokiko
Don't get any ideas, though.
[17:57] Tokiko
I worked hard to acquire every yen of it in
the burnt-out rubble at the end of the war.
[18:02] Tokiko
I was so diligent. A master of diligence.
Im so impressive!

She seems fun.
[18:09] Tsukasa
I-I guess...
[18:10] Tokiko
I can see why she'd choose you, though.
[18:13] Tokiko
So clever, and so sweet, too.
[18:16] Tokiko
I was amazed you were able to tell
that stone was a moon rock so easily.
[18:23] Nasa
Moon rock?
[18:26] Nasa
Oh, at Chitose-chan's house!
[18:29] Nasa
Well, there was the placard
that listed its makeup.
[18:32] Nasa
And you were using nitrogen
to keep it from oxidizing.
[18:35] Nasa
I figured you wouldn't do all
that if it wasn't the real deal.
[18:39] Tokiko
I see. Still, it's very impressive, honestly.
[18:42] Tokiko
Knowing she has a partner like
you is a great relief for me.
[18:47] Tokiko
I'm sure you'll be able to
accomplish what I couldn't...

no, what nobody else has
been able to all these years.

If you're able to visit the three
big day-trip hot springs in Kusatsu,

that nice little ticket can earn you the

in pursuit of becoming a hot springs expert.

I don't understand where this joke is going.
[19:36] Tsukasa
Enough already! We're not here
to indulge your comedy act.
[19:40] Tokiko
You are so mean. And I was
being completely serious.
[19:45] Tokiko
Fair enough, though. This should
be plenty for today.
[19:48] Tokiko
I'd hate to take up time you could be
using to fool around here in Kusatsu.

Y-You...

But are you sure about this, Nasa-kun?

What?
[19:57] Tokiko
I'm sure you've noticed,
but this girl can be incredibly bashful.
[20:02] Tokiko
Which means she's awful at expressing
sentiments like love and affection.
[20:09] Tsukasa
Hey! Darling, don't agree with her!
[20:12] Tokiko
I'm sure you think you're conveying your
love without putting it into words,
[20:17] Tokiko
but you need to be able to say it, too.
[20:20] Tsukasa
Y-You don't need to tell me! I have been!
[20:22] Tokiko
Whatever you've been doing, I'm pretty
sure the normal amount would be double,
[20:26] Tokiko
so you need to work on saying it more.
[20:28] Tsukasa
I don't need your advice!
[20:30] Tsukasa
I say that sort of thing
when we're alone, so...
[20:34] Tsukasa
I don't need you worrying about it!
[20:36] Tokiko
Did you hear, that, dearie?
[20:38] Tokiko
She's going to really express how much
she loves you once you're alone!
[20:42] Tokiko
You should get your hopes up!
[20:44] Nasa
Uh, yeah...
[20:47] Tsukasa
Could you please shut your mouth?!
[20:50] Tokiko
I know you usually like to
march to your own drummer,
[20:54] Tokiko
but it wouldn't hurt to take a bit
of advice every now and then.
[20:57] Tokiko
Well, I hope you two enjoy
the rest of your trip.
[21:01] Tokiko
The yumomi process is quite interesting,
so you should check it out.
[21:05] Nasa
Thank you.
[21:06] Tokiko
Still, I'm truly glad...
[21:10] Tokiko
that she met someone so wonderful.
Take good care of her, Nasa-kun.
[21:16] Tokiko
She can be a pain in certain ways,
but generally speaking, she's a kind one.
[21:21] Nasa
Right!
[21:23] Tsukasa
You never know when to stop, huh?
[21:26] Tsukasa
Honestly, what is her deal?
[21:30] Nasa
She's really funny.
[21:32] Nasa
And that was some good advice.
[21:36] Tsukasa
What part do you mean?
[21:37] Nasa
The stuff about expressing
your love... maybe.

What souvenirs should we get for the others?
[23:27] Tsukasa
Kaname wants something
a little crude and funny,
[23:29] Tsukasa
and Aya mentioned some
kind of local merchandise
[23:31] Tsukasa
made in collaboration with some anime.
[23:33] Nasa
You actually went and asked them! Nice!
[23:35] Tsukasa
Actually, they volunteered the
info before I could ask them.
