Illustrious: “Kashino, we’re back! You certainly know how to help our fellow shipgirls.”

Bismarck: “Agreed. Say, can we head to the hot springs? My shoulder’s so sore from that last mission…”

Kashino: “Of course, Illustrious and Bismarck! I’m glad I could assist the shipgirls. As for the hot springs, perfect timing! We just got a new shipment of bath bombs, so I’m sure it’ll be a delightful experience. Let me guide you to the hot springs area. Follow me!”

(They make their way towards the hot springs area.)

Illustrious: “Oh, the aroma already puts me at ease. Thank you, Kashino.”

Bismarck: “Mm, it smells wonderful. I can’t wait to soak in the warm water and relax my muscles.”

Kashino: “I’m glad you both like it. The hot springs are a great way to unwind and rejuvenate after intense missions. Here are your towels and robes. Feel free to choose your preferred bath bomb for a truly indulgent experience.”

(Illustrious and Bismarck select their bath bombs and change into their robes.)

Illustrious: “I think I’ll go with the lavender-scented bath bomb. It’s so calming.”

Bismarck: “I’ll try the eucalyptus one. It’s known for its muscle-relaxing properties.”

Kashino: “Excellent choices! Now, let’s find the perfect spot for each of you. There are a few private baths available if you prefer more solitude-” (realizing something) “Oh, shoot! I forgot to change into my ‘Hot Springs Relaxation’ outfit! I-I-I’ll be right back.”

(Kashino quickly rushes off to change into her designated outfit.)

Illustrious: “Don’t worry, Kashino. Take your time.”

Bismarck: “Indeed. We can wait.”

(A few moments pass, and Kashino returns in her “Hot Springs Relaxation” outfit - a white bikini with plastic white flowers and some white see-through arm cloth.)

Illustrious: “Oh, Kashino, you look absolutely adorable in that outfit!”

Bismarck: “Indeed, it suits you perfectly. Now, shall we find our perfect spots?”

Kashino: “Thank you both! I’m glad you like it. Yes, let’s find the ideal spots for each of you.”

(The three of them walk further into the hot springs area, exploring different pools and finding the right temperature.)

Illustrious: “Ah, this one feels just right. The water is warm and soothing.”

Bismarck: “I’ll join you in this one, it looks inviting.”

(Kashino finds a nearby pool and checks the temperature.)

Kashino: “This one should suit you well, Bismarck.”

Bismarck: “Perfect. I’ll get in right away.”

(Illustrious settles into her chosen pool, enjoying the lavender-scented bath bomb slowly dissolving into the warm water.)

Illustrious: “Oh, the scent is heavenly. This is exactly what I needed after that mission.”

Kashino: “I’m glad you’re finding it relaxing. Now, let me check on Bismarck.”

(Kashino walks over to Bismarck, who has already eased herself into the pool.)

Bismarck: “Ah, this feels amazing. The eucalyptus scent is so refreshing.”

Kashino: “I’m glad you’re enjoying it. Just let the warm water work its magic on your muscles.”

(The three of them spend some time in the hot springs, enjoying the peaceful atmosphere and the benefits of the bath bombs.)

Illustrious: “Kashino, this has been such a wonderful experience. Thank you for guiding us here.”

Bismarck: “Yes, it’s been a much-needed break. I feel rejuvenated already.”

Kashino: “I’m happy to hear that. It’s always a pleasure to help my fellow shipgirls relax and unwind. If you ever want to visit the hot springs again, just let me know.”

(They spend a little while longer in the hot springs, basking in the tranquility and the soothing waters. A few minutes later, all three of them are done.)

Illustrious: “I feel so refreshed and ready to take on whatever comes next.”

Bismarck: “Indeed, this was exactly what I needed to recharge. Thank you, Kashino.”

Kashino: “You’re both very welcome. It was my pleasure to assist you. Now, let’s dry off and head back to our living quarters. I’ll prepare some tea for us-” (slipping head-first on the wooden floor) “WHOA-”
