[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! SIGN    TONIKAWA SIGN    TONIKAWA SIGN    Episode 5 The Exciting Expert of the Hot Springs [03:54] Kaname     All right, you two have fun! [03:57] Kaname     I'll take good care of Toast! [03:59] Kaname     Don't worry about souvenirs!     Just make sure to enjoy yourselves! [04:04] Nasa     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! SIGN    Ladies [10:23] Aya     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.

I don't think I know     the way back to my room now. [14:12] Tsukiko     But I can't keep imposing on you... [14:17] Nasa     I-It's okay! [14:20] Nasa     I'll walk you back to your room! [14:23] Tokiko     You're sure you don't mind? [14:25] Nasa     O-Of course! [14:27] Tokiko     I'm sure your wife must be happy,     being married to a dear like you. [14:33] Nasa     How'd you know I was married? [14:35] Tokiko     It's the ring, honey. [14:38] Tokiko     My own husband died early, so I don't have     as many memories with him as I'd like. [14:46] Tokiko     How are you finding married life? [14:48] Nasa     W-Well, let me see... [14:50] Nasa     Every day is full of surprises. [14:53] Nasa     There's so much to enjoy     and that I don't see coming. [14:59] Tokiko     You must really love your wife! [15:02] Nasa     W-Well, that's... [15:04] Tokiko     Come, now, no need to be embarrassed. [15:07] Tokiko     Being married is truly special. [15:11] Tokiko     Nothing like parents, siblings,     friends, or even lovers. [15:15] Tokiko     You'll understand what I mean in time. [15:21] Tsukasa     Darling? [15:23] Nasa     Oh, Tsukasa-chan. [15:26] Tsukasa     Hey. What do you think you're doing here? [15:30] Nasa     Tsukasa-chan, do you know this lady? [15:33] Tsukasa     I more than know her.     This is Tsukuyomi Tokiko. SIGN    Tsukuyomi Tokiko SIGN    April 23rd SIGN    Age 81 [15:38] Tsukasa     She was our signatory witness     when we got married. [15:41] Tsukasa     She's Chitose's grandmother. [15:43] Nasa     What?! [15:44] Chitose     That a problem? [15:46] Nasa     I had no idea! I'm so sorry! [15:49] Tokiko     Oh, no, no. It's perfectly fine. [15:52] Tokiko     I didn't really mean to trick you, either. [15:55] Tokiko     Well, I was actually dead-set on it, [15:58] Tokiko     and I'm kind of disappointed     the ruse is over already. [16:01] Nasa     She's one of those     honest-but-troublesome types! [16:04] Tsukasa     This is just mean-spirited! Why would you lie      just to try and test my good-natured husband? [16:09] Tokiko     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     That's exactly what you call a lie! [16:26] Tokiko     You should honestly be praising my     willingness to push my limits at this age. [16:33] Tsukasa     Not happening! [16:35] Tokiko     I wouldn't have had to come here     in the first place if you weren't [16:40] Tokiko     too embarrassed to introduce your husband. [16:43] Tsukasa     That doesn't excuse coming     all the way out here! [16:45] Nasa     Come on, Tsukasa-chan, I should     still properly introduce myself. [16:52] Tokiko     He got you! He got you     with perfect logic, too. [16:56] Tsukasa     Quit laughing! [16:58] Tokiko     If we're going to do this,     why don't we head back to my room? [17:01] Tokiko     I made sure to get the biggest     suite on the premises. [17:07] Nasa     Well, let's make this official. [17:08] Nasa     My name is Yuzaki Nasa,     and I married Tsukasa-san recently. [17:13] Nasa     I know it's a bit late, but I want to     thank you for acting as our witness. [17:18] Nasa     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     Me? [17:27] Tokiko     Of course. I was wondering what kind of     person could melt the ice queen's heart. [17:33] Tsukasa     Hey! [17:34] Tokiko     I see now, though. Very interesting.     So this is your type? [17:39] Tsukasa     You seriously need to stop. [17:40] Nasa     Come on, it's okay. And it's     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! [18:05] Tokiko     Am I amazing or what? [18:07] Nasa     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... [18:52] Tokiko     no, what nobody else has     been able to all these years. [19:02] Nasa     What do you mean? SIGN    Here we go     The Big Three Tour Card SIGN    Here we go     The Big Three Tour Card [19:11] Nasa     What's this? [19:12] Tokiko     "Here we go! The Big Three Tour Card." [19:15] Nasa     "Here We Go Big Three"? [19:17] Tokiko     If you're able to visit the three     big day-trip hot springs in Kusatsu, [19:20] Tokiko     that nice little ticket can earn you the     title of Kusatsu Hot Springs Expert. [19:25] Nasa     Hot springs expert?! [19:26] Tokiko     I get the feeling you'll be up to any challenge [19:31] Tokiko     in pursuit of becoming a hot springs expert. [19:33] Nasa     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. [19:53] Tsukasa     Y-You... [19:55] Tokiko     But are you sure about this, Nasa-kun? [19:56] Nasa     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!
