Blade Hall
Why a hot spring inn?
Why blades?
Welcome to the holy land of blades
What is the "holy land of blades"?
I've never heard of a tourist spot with a catch phrase like that.
Shut up.
We came all the out here. Can't you try to enjoy yourself?
How am I supposed to enjoy this situation?
I was kidnapped first thing this morning.
Well, well. If it isn't Natsuno-han.
Welcome.
Thank you for your patronage.
L-Landlady?
When did you change jobs?
What? She's been here since I was a child.
I'm sorry I insisted on bringing my dog.
Not at all.
I'm happy to accommodate your request.
She's must be someone else.
I guess it's true when they say everyone's got a couple of dopplegangers.
They've even got books. Nice work, hot spring inn.
Celestial Romance
"Celestial Romance"? I haven't read that one yet.
Could it be a new volume?
Kazu-nii.
It's been a while.
Wh-What are you doing here, Madoka?
Natsuno-san, thank you for inviting me.
Natsuno?
There's no need to be so formal.
W-We'll be sisters-in-law someday.
We should get to know each other better.
Make yourselves at home.
The Scissors Room, huh?
This room looks like it was made for you.
Yes, this is my room.
You bought it?
Natsuno-san, is this your family?
Yes, it is.
What?
You really do have a family.
This kid's got a terrible expression.
That kid with the terrible expression is me.
What an intelligent-looking child.
I'm sure she'll grow up to do great things. Yup.
You arrogant dog.
I had sent Hasajiro out to be sharpened at the time.
That's why I look so unhappy.
I see.
Natsuno-san, you must take after your father.
I suppose I do.
My sister takes after our mother, especially one part of her.
It's still a little soon to give up.
It will be all right.
All your hard work and effort will be rewarded.
Do you want those to be your last words?
I coincidentally composed a haiku!
Huh?
Natsuno-san, there's only one futon.
Should I ask someone for another?
N-No, that's fine.
What?
This room will be mine and...
Natsuno, don't tell me you...
Could it be?
That's what you're into?!
You're so cute, Madoka.
N-No, Natsuno-san...
I got you a separate room, Madoka.
I-I see.
You didn't need to do that for me.
It's fine.
I reserved the Knife Room next door,
so why don't you drop off your luggage?
Sure, I'll do that.
What?
Wait.
Huh? What is it?
You don't need the dog in your room.
Leave him here.
No, I need him. I haven't seen Kazu-nii in a while.
I wish you wouldn't get between me and my brother.
You should stay out of my way, sister.
What do you think I came here for?
I told you not to call me your sister.
Have you forgotten?
Are you sure you haven't forgotten?
The difference in our strength is insurmountable.
Natsuno, don't...
Even if you're not my sister,
I'll make you call me your sister-in-law.
I will make you call me sister until it breaks your very soul.
That's terrifying!
Why are you talking about sisters, anyway?
I'll crush that evil desire here and now.
Don't waste your energy.
You can't hope to defeat me without your Tuna Eater, sister.
Don't call me your sister!
How did this happen?
I don't have time for this.
Madoka, we came all the way out here.
Why don't we go to the hot springs?
Oh, good idea.
What? How did that happen so quickly?
See you later, Kazu-nii.
We're heading to the baths.
Don't you dare look.
You absolutely must not look.
Sure, I won't look.
I'd rather read!
I need to find that new volume that was in the lobby.
Huh?
What a surprise.
I can't believe we're staying at the same inn.
What are you doing here, Sakura?
I'm on an overnight trip with my school club.
Honda-san, you attend Higashikawa High School, too, don't you?
My brother told me.
Sure. Call me Sakura, by the way.
Okay, Sakura-san.
I'll be attending Higashikawa High School starting next year.
What?
You're awfully hasty, aren't you?
You haven't taken the entrance exam yet.
It'll be all right. I know I'll pass.
So, Madoka-chan's going to be my junior.
Come on, Ami. Come here.
I-I'm fine here.
You're that girl I ran into in front of Honda Booksellers...
I see... So you're Sakura's friend.
I-I'm sorry! I'm sorry for being in the bath!
I'm sorry for enjoying the skin smoothing, warming,
and healing properties of the bath!
Natsuno-san?
Huh? Oh, this place is so nice and spacious, isn't it?
It really is.
What is that stupid dog doing?
15:00 Mongrel enjoys a fortuitous peek at the women's bath
This book was pretty good, too,
but I'm still curious about that new volume.
Are you all right, Natsuno-san?
Yes.
What's wrong? Did you stay in the bath too long?
I told you not to look.
Huh?
I need to hurry.
Let's eat.
The view from this hot spring inn's main hall is fantastic.
Really? Doesn't that sound exciting, Kazu-nii?
Romantic dinner while enjoying beautiful scenery
17:22 Important!!
I'd rather enjoy books instead of scenery.
It's really such a coincidence.
We should be able to enjoy a beautiful sunset at this time.
Wh-What is this?
I can't believe
we have to wait here with such beautiful food laid out in front of us.
The fragrant food is stimulating my central nervous system.
It's too much.
Akiyama-sensei, what are you doing here?
What a coincidence.
The members of the
masochist's order have come here for our yearly trip.
I don't care for your worthless explanations.
Shut up and get out of my sight.
Remove yourself from this planet at once.
Oh, I shall. As you requested,
I will break myself down at an atomic level.
It's her.
I'm so jealous.
Kazu-nii, it's so lively and fun.
Yeah, you won't find another hot spring inn
as chaotic as this one anywhere else in Japan.
What a terrible view.
Can I help you?
Oh, I'm sorry.
I don't know what's wrong with me.
Start by sleeping side by side
Guidebook of Love ~Your First Overnight Date~ Hot Springs Version
Okay.
Where are we going?
Second day A date around town <3 A sudden event might bring us closer together...
I wanted to read books in our room.
What is that, a book? Let me read that.
You can't read this.
Seriously?
Huh? Oh, hey, where's Madoka?
Who knows? I invited her to come with us,
but she said she had something important to attend to.
Black clothes? Could it be?
Shining!
I'll turn this rural little hot springs town
into a top class resort spot in the blink of an eye.
I'm shining.
Yes. It is as you say, Maxi-sama.
I'm shining again today.
Let's go.
Yeah.
Yes. It is as you say, Maxi-sama.
Whetstone Specialist Anubis
Natural Whetstones - Grinding Whetstones - Diamond Tools
Oh, it's you.
It's just one after another.
I didn't think we would meet again so soon.
Do you want a fight?
Oh?
Is that your whetstone?
Yes, this brand produces the finest products.
Do you also use these?
Yes, they make my blade a cut above the rest.
Did they just reach some kind of understanding?
Oh, no. It's this time already.
I must buy some manju for my mistress and return immediately.
Whetstone Specialist Anubis
Natural Whetstones - Grinding Whetstones - Diamond Tools
Now I'll buy my own top class whetstone.
I can't get it right.
I wanted to make a curry brimming with love for Kazu-nii.
If only I had my Tuna Eater.
Tuna Eater?
Huh?
Just you wait, Hasajiro.
I'll have you ship-shape in no time.
Yeah, at the cost of my wellbeing.
Is that what you came here to do?
Y-Yes, of course.
Oh, there are shops that sell something besides blades here.
Onogawa Photo Studio
The photo from the room was taken here.
I want to be with Hasajiro.
I don't need my sister, I want Hasajiro.
H-Hey.
What?
Why don't we stop in?
Welcome back.
Good work.
Celestial Love
Hey.
What?
Does something seem off to you?
Really?
I-In any case...
I'm going to go sharpen Hasajiro.
In the hot springs, naked!
Sure. Take your time.
Promise me you absolutely will not look this time!
Bath of Muramasa
You're working rather hard, Sensei.
Your face has gone beyond red and is starting to turn blue.
Oh, yes. I heard if I stay long enough in the bath,
I'll find ecstasy beyond the pain.
What is that dog doing? I told him not to look.
I call it, "Me and Hot Springs"...
What are you doing here?
I could ask you the same thing.
This might actually be a good opportunity.
Let's see who can stay in the water longer!
I'm already starting to feel dizzy.
But, even while I'm up to my neck in water, I'm still shining.
Yes! It is as you say, Maxi-sama!
Please come again.
I wanted to say something to them before I left.
We couldn't find Natsuno-san or Madoka anywhere.
Yeah.
I see a field of flowers.
I'm shining. Everything I see is shining.
What is this?
Wh-What's wrong with you? Stay back!
Huh?
Could it be?
Natsuno!
Ow...
Why did you make me wait so long, you idiot?!
Forget about that, it's an emergency!
They're coming outside!
I didn't expect to find them here.
Huh? What are you talking about?
The same thing happened in Shin-Inaba.
I've been attacked a few times by some kind of stalker...
Attacked?
I fought them all off, though.
Of course you did.
But cutting all of them dulled my Hasajiro.
I don't think that's the only reason.
Hey. I know I'm shining, but you can't stare like that.
I'm shining like the heroine of a horror film.
Huh?
What?
Natsuno! I'll get some help!
This is excellent.
I had no idea this was an option.
Yeah, I was stupid to think I could count on her for even a second.
Can you hear me?
Yes!
I know. Maxi can call her men in black, and...
I can't believe you ignored me. Unforgivable.
I'll have to change into my super shining outfit.
Yes! It is as you say, Maxi-sama!
It's no use. They're all useless.
If only Hasajiro were in perfect condition.
Natsuno!
Take this!
What?
I'll buy you some time! Finish sharpening your scissors!
O-Okay.
He's fighting for me.
This is our first time working together.
Hurry. I don't think I can hold out much longer.
Keep your hands off Kazu-nii!
Huh?
Are you okay, Kazu-nii?
Madoka, where did you get that?
When I found you covered in dust in storage, I felt like
we were destined to meet.
You were waiting for me, Tuna Eater.
Kazu-nii, you told me to make the greatest curry possible.
I didn't say anything like that!
So I'm going to keep making curry.
I'm going to do what you wanted me to do.
I'll give it everything I have.
This will be the first step of that journey.
This is my prayer, my wish!
Make it come true, Tuna Eater Type Zero!
System on. Harumi Madoka recognized as master.
Thank you, Type Zero.
You seem like you're ready to take on the king of the underworld.
I'm back!
Natsuno-san.
Yeah.
You're looking pretty cool despite your weapons.
Let's go!
You've done it... You've done it now...
Rumble
Natsuno-san?
Blade Hall
The inn is closed today.
I'm so sorry.
We don't remember anything.
What's going on? Is someone trying to kill you?
I don't care about that.
Thank you for the Tuna Eater.
Even though we came to the hot springs, we hardly got to relax at all.
That's true.
We'll have to come back again.
We'll be back.
Next time, it'll be just the two of us.
Episode Preview
If I destroyed one of my fans and spread the news,
perhaps it would stop the stalkers.
Anyway, as for the fan...
Don't look at me.
Are you saying you're not one of my fans?
I'm a huge fan.
There is No Smoke Without Dog
Chapter Nine
I have received your confirmation. I'm going to destroy you.
You tricked me!
