At one of the hidden hot springs in Aoryu Town, an establishment that's been operating for centuries, Wataru and his companions found themselves preparing to relax. The bathhouse, built from stone rather than earth, likely as a precaution against the moisture, was enclosed by tall walls, keeping prying eyes out.
Masques stood at the entrance and pointed toward it.
"This is my recommendation. The water's hot, so you'll need to be careful, but it's a great place."
"Let's get started, then. Mariel, Eir, you two enjoy yourselves. Don't worry about me; take your time and soak. We'll enjoy ourselves too."
"Understood! This will be my first time at a hot spring. I've wanted to visit one forever. Let's go, Eir."
"Yeah! A hot spring, huh? I only went to one once during a gladiator tour. This is going to be so fun!"
