[Author’s Notes]
The third character rough draft has been published in the Activity Report.
A completely Japanese-style onsen ryokan, including the mechanical items and products within it. I can even watch TV shows within it, so I can enjoy myself in the room, but for the time being, we decided to head to the main attraction of an onsen ryokan, the onsen.
We moved with the yukata and towels that were provided in our room and came to the changing room. It seems like it would be enjoyable to soak in the onsen while looking at Mt Fuji, since we’ve come this far, let’s just embrace the situation and fully enjoy the onsen that we’ve come all this way for.
Well, that’s what I was thinking……
[……Errr, Shiro-san? Why are you in this changing room? There are separate changing rooms for men and women, right?]
[Fumu. The only people using this onsen ryokan are me and Kaito-san, there’s no one else here. Of course, not even employees…… and we are going to take an onsen together.]
[……In other words?]
[What’s the point in having separate changing rooms?]
[……Because of embarrassment?]
[I see.]
Shiro-san nods in agreement, but those words don’t necessarily mean acceptance. Instead, Shiro-san just remains in place, gazing intently in my direction.
I’m sensing this strong determination from her, showing that she had no intention of separating changing rooms.
[This is just a simple question, but why did you want to change in the same changing room? If it’s Shiro-san, changing would only take a moment for you, wouldn’t it?]
[Good question. We are currently executing the “Operation: Doki☆ Mixed Bath Happening”, so it’s necessary to share the same changing room.]
That’s strange? I asked a question and got an answer, but my mind had become more confused than it was a moment ago. No, I know Shiro-san is aiming for something…… but is it okay to openly say such an operation to me, who is probably the target of that operation? No, I certainly am the one who asked this……
[Happening?]
[Yes. The operation was drawn up based on this reference material.]
[No matter how I look at it, isn’t that a romance manga!?]
[First of all, in this reference material, the protagonist and the heroine are lost in the mountains in winter, and spent the night in a small inn they happen to arrive at.]
The premise seemed quite different to begin with, so is that operation okay? Seriously, it looks like there are hardly any common points between this situation and her premise other than the inn part……
[And in that inn, the bath was scheduled, separated by gender. However, exhausted and having missed that notice, the protagonist heads to the bath during the time designated for women.]
That’s kind of like a forced ecchi scene. Maybe it’s a situation where there are conveniently no other guests staying at the inn, otherwise the protagonist could have been arrested by the police. No, he would have been arrested when he entered the changing room where the heroine is changing but…… Unnn. Well, I guess that situation is just a template in love comedies, with the situation being resolved with just the heroine getting angry.
[Then, feeling confused by the suddenness of the situation, the protagonist slips and pushes the heroine to the ground.]
[……Umm, this might be just me being biased…… but that manga doesn’t sound very…… Ahh, no, it’s nothing.]
Even when I take it being a love comedy manga into consideration, I feel like the development was quite forced, so I was about to say “it doesn’t sound very interesting”, but stopped myself midway. Well, I mean, I just thought that I shouldn’t make a decision without having actually read the book.
Unnn, there’s a possibility that some of the scenes are a bit forced, but the rest of the story could be incredibly interesting, so it’s not good to speak ill of it without knowing it well.
[……So, in other words, what exactly are you looking for, Shiro-san?]
[That happening where Kaito-san pushes me down.]
[There’s so much to throw a tsukkomi that I’m so bewildered, but just a word…… Is it really a happening if you suggested the situation in advance to carry it out?]
[……………………That was a blind spot. I never expected there to be such a pitfall in my “Operation: Doki☆ Mixed Bath Happening”……]
From her reaction, she really was quite surprised…… Wait, why would you even think that would work!?
[Let’s reflect on what I’ve learned here and keep this in mind in the future.]
[I suppose so. Well, people sometimes make mistakes.]
[…………………]
[……Errr? Shiro-san? Why are you still staring at me?]
[We’re currently undergoing “Operation: Doki☆ Mixed Bath Happening”, so I’m waiting for Kaito-san to move.]
That’s strange? Based on the flow of the story, isn’t this the part where the operation is a failure and was brought to an end? Eh? Wait, did you just abandon calling this a happening, and instead, thought of pushing forth this situation where I’m supposed to push you down?
[That’s right. And so, I’ll be in your care.]
[………………]
It probably goes without saying, but I could only look up to the skies with an indescribable expression on my face at that.
[Afterword]
Serious-senpai: [This God sure has the mentality of a brave general, doesn’t she? The word “retreat” hadn’t even crossed her mind……]
The third and last character draft, Miyama Akari (Luce). Her current appearance is that of when she’s already a mother of one child…… She died when Kaito was in primary school, so she’s in her early to mid-30s.
Kaito’s hair color is the same as his mother’s, so when they stand side by side, they look more like siblings.
That will be it for new characters appearing in Volume 14, but next time, we’ll be releasing a rough sketch of Isis in her dress, which was drawn on the cover just before the release date, so please look forward to it~~
