Tsuzuru Minagi/Surpreme Bliss Bath
From A3! Wiki
The Minagi Family’s Bath Situation
Backstage Stories| Izumi | Tsuzuru-kun, is the public that you use to go to around here? |
| Tsuzuru | Yep, we’ll be there soon. |
 |
|
| Izumi | It’s been a while since I’ve been to a public bath. It’s a nice change of pace once in a while. |
| Tsuzuru | Agreed. I went a lot when I was a kid, but I haven’t been to one recently either. |
| Izumi | Oh really. |
| Tsuzuru | Back in the day, I took my little brothers to the public bath all the time when the bath at home was broken. |
| The bath was wide, so my little brothers got excited and tried to swim. It was tough watching over them. | |
| Izumi | Ahaha. I mean, I understand how they feel. |
| I also swam in one when I was little and got scolded by my mom. | |
| Tsuzuru | Then after our bath, we would always start a milk drinking contest. |
| There was a rule that if you lost, you would have to carry everyone’s bags home… | |
| Izumi | T-that sounds… rough if you lost. |
| Tsuzuru | You got that right. Well, one of the little ones would lose for sure though. |
| But since they couldn’t carry all the bags alone, we ended up splitting them up and heading home. | |
| Kaoru | Huh? It’s nii-chan and Director-san. |
| Izumi | Ah, Kaoru-kun! |
| Tsuzuru | …Wait, that stuff you’re holding. Are you going to the public bath? |
| Kaoru | Yes. The bath at home broke. |
| Tsuzuru | Eh, really? |
| It hasn’t broken down much lately though. | |
| Kaoru | That’s true. This is the first time in a while. |
| But it looks like the contractor will stop by, so I think it’ll be fixed soon enough. | |
| Izumi | I see. That’s good to hear. |
| Kaoru | Hold on, are you two on your way to the public bath as well? |
| Tsuzuru | Yeah. |
| Izumi | Hey. If we’re heading to the same place, then how about you come with us, Kaoru-kun? |
| Kaoru | Are you sure? |
| Izumi | Of course! Isn’t that right, Tsuzuru-kun? |
| Tsuzuru | I don’t mind at all. |
| Izumi | Alright, let’s go together. |
| Kaoru | What were you talking about earlier? |
| Tsuzuru | We just happened to be talking about how our family would visit the public bath when our bath broke down. |
| Kaoru | That’s right, our whole family would get together and go in the past. |
| Tsuzuru | Yeah, exactly. |
| We’d all walk while holding hands. | |
| Kaoru | The older brothers would walk so fast it was hard to keep up. |
| Tsuzuru | Oh yeah. Once, Kaoru fell on the road since he couldn’t keep up and he cried his eyes out. |
| Kaoru | H-hold on, nii-chan!? |
| Izumi | Fufu. So that happened, eh? |
| Tsuzuru | Yep. We went all the way to the public bath, but he couldn’t get in the tub because of his injury. |
| In the end, I kept him company and we ate ice cream together while we waited for everyone else to finish their bath. | |
| Kaoru | D-did that happen? |
| Mmm, I totally forgot. | |
| Izumi | I can totally picture that. |
| Tsuzuru-kun is kind, isn’t he? He stayed with you. | |
| Tsuzuru | Rather than kind, I was worried he might get into something if I left him alone. |
| Izumi | Alright, I’ll leave you guys here. |
| I’m sure it’s been a while. Take your time alone as brothers. | |
| Tsuzuru | Thanks! |
| Tsuzuru | Hah~, bigger baths really do feel nice, after all. |
| Kaoru | Is the bath at the dorm cramped? |
 |
|
| Tsuzuru | It’s a lot bigger than the one at home, but we have a lot of people. |
| It’s a bit cramped depending on the time of the day… | |
| Kaoru | I see. We rarely get in the bath together at home anymore, huh? |
| Tsuzuru | We went together a lot when we were kids though. |
| Kaoru | Yeah. All of us used water guns and it turned into an all-out war. |
| Tsuzuru | And then mom scolded us. |
| Kaoru | That sure happened. That really brings back memories. |
| Tsuzuru | Haha, that’s right. |
| Anyways, I never thought we’d meet up, Kaoru. | |
| Where are the other little ones? | |
| Kaoru | I heard they went with dad in the evening. |
| I had homework for school, so I ended up coming this late. | |
| Tsuzuru | I see. |
| How’s school? Are you having fun? | |
| Kaoru | … |
| Tsuzuru | Hm? What’s wrong? |
| Is there something that’s bothering you? | |
| Kaoru | Oh, no. Nothing’s bothering me. |
| School’s fun. | |
| Tsuzuru | School is? |
| Did something happen at home then? | |
| Kaoru | No, no. |
| It’s the same as always at home. | |
| Tsuzuru | So then what is it… |
| Kaoru | Um, well, you see… there was someone I liked at school… |
| But it was unrequited. | |
| Tsuzuru | EHH!? You had someone you liked? |
| Kaoru | H-hold on, nii-chan! Don’t say it so loudly…! |
| Tsuzuru | A-ahh, sorry… |
| So you mean… um. | |
| You confessed and got rejected? | |
| Kaoru | Rather than rejected… |
| A little while back, that girl was standing by the school gate after school. | |
| She looked like she was waiting for someone. | |
| I just happened to pass by, but… | |
| Tsuzuru | Don’t tell me… |
| Kaoru | Just when I was wondering who would come, a tough-looking guy with blonde slicked back hair and multiple ear and lip piercings arrived to pick her up… |
| Tsuzuru | That kinda rough guy!? |
| Kaoru | She looked really happy and rushed over to him… |
| Tsuzuru | H-hey, but you don’t know for sure that guy who picked her up was her boyfriend, right? |
| Kaoru | No, that was her boyfriend, alright. Her friend asked, “your boyfriend?” |
| And she said yes. | |
| I never expected she would be dating that type of guy… | |
| Tsuzuru | Welp… |
| You know what, Kaoru. It’s too bad it didn’t work out with that girl. But I just know you’ll meet someone who will fall for you some day. | |
| Kaoru | …! |
| Yeah! | |
| Tsuzuru | Alright. Nii-chan will treat you to something after this! |
| I can’t give you any huge advice. But if you just wanna talk, then let me know again anytime. Got it? | |
| Kaoru | Thanks, nii-chan. |
