Ahhh, it feels like my knotted muscles are loosening up in the hot water.

This feels so good that I might even doze off if I let my mind wander.

Thank you for bringing me to such an amazing place.

I'm glad that you like it. You're always pushing yourself, so I figured it'd be nice to help you relax.

Geez! You say things like that as if they mean nothing to you, but it makes me all embarrassed.

I'm being honest, that's all. You always have such a strict approach to practice, no matter what.

E-Enough! Take that!

Ack! Karin, the water!

Since we came all the way to the hot spring footbaths, I need to let my hair down at least a little. Now, take that!

Whoa, whoa! Oh, you'll pay for that! Hyah!

Eek!

If that's how you're going to play then, hah!

Whoa! Impressive, Karin! That was a huge splash you made just now!

*Laugh* I kicked the water a little too hard that time.

You know what? It's totally because you work so hard at your daily lessons!

Argh! Enough with that already!

Hey, since we're here, don't you think it's a wasted opportunity for us to be sitting opposite each other?

Could I sit next to you?

Sitting side-by-side like this makes me want to stay here forever with you.

Y-Yeah, I agree.

Is something the matter, Karin? Have you gotten all sleepy because it's so warm?

*Giggle* Good grief. You can be so oblivious.

Hey, I'm going to borrow your shoulder, just for a bit.

K-Karin?!

I'm sick of always being the one who ends up being embarrassed, so I'll make your heart race this time.
