## Synopsis

At the end of the day, all Kirisu wants to do is take a relaxing bath, however, the water she uses is freezing cold. As it turns out the gas company had to turn off the gas equipment for a routine maintenance check. Therefore, Kirisu decides to go to a local bathhouse to end her night. On her way there, she runs into Asumi along with Nariyuki and his twin siblings, Kazuki and Hazuki. The twins take an instant liking to Kirisu and ask her to marry their brother Nariyuki, which enrages Kirisu.

Inside the bathhouse, the twins commit a mischievous act by stealing Kirisu's bra and panties, and Nariyuki snaps at them because of it. Elsewhere, Kirisu and Asumi are in the sauna to start things off before they go bathing. They talk about Nariyuki and their opinions on him. Once they're done, they go to the bathing area and to Kirisu's dismay take a cold bath. However, she gets used to the cold water once Asumi pulls her into the bath and her body gets used to the temperature. On the other side, Nariyuki with his siblings hears the entire conversation filling his head with erotic thoughts. As he tries to distract himself from the conversation with historical facts, his sister Hazuki is missing. The girl in question is on the other side pestering Kirisu to marry her brother, to which, annoys her. But she concedes in order to not make Hazuki cry. Elated by the answer, Hazuki goes off to tell Nariyuki and when Kirisu tries to stop her, she slips on a bar of soap and falls backward. Because of this, Nariyuki is forced to carry her out of the bathhouse until she wakes up and chastises him for his indecency. Hazuki defends her brother for his actions and in the process pulls off her towel showing her fully nude and causing her to faint again.

Outside of the bathhouse, Asumi explains the situation to Kirisu who sheepishly apologizes for her actions before. After they part-ways, it's learned that Kirisu is missing her bra and panties, whereas the twins have them and Nariyuki scolds them for it.

Fumino and Rizu, approach Nariyuki for moral support in a mock interview. Rizu is scared to do it, but Fumino is looking forward to it as Ms. Fujita a kind teacher will be holding them. To their dismay, Ms. Fujita is out sick so Kirisu is their substitute for the mock interview. First, Rizu goes first and all of her answers to the mock interview are shot down as trite and should stick with her strongest skills. Just like Rizu, Fumino is ridiculed for having trite sentimental answers in her mock interview.

After their interviews, both Fumino and Rizu are both notably burned out, and even though Nariyuki tries to console them, he's called in next by Kirisu. The moment Nariyuki sits down, Kirisu didactically informs him about his sitting posture. To calm himself, Nariyuki tries to think of Kirisu when she's not in school, but at home. He ultimately envisions her in her swimsuit and when he tries to snap himself out of that he envisions her in a china dress. When asked about his strengths, Nariyuki discloses a few of his natural skills, then his academic talents. He does, however, confess his weaknesses and acknowledges them, which impresses Kirisu, but warns him not to get cocky.

Despite having been burnt out by Kirisu, Fumino and Rizu study in earnest about interviewing tips and skills.
