(I've hung up all the laundry, so all that's left is to see what I need to buy the next time I come here.)

(First, laundry detergent, that bathtub cleaner and...maybe some more bath salts.)

(I brought a pack over a while ago hoping that it'll help give her a way to relax, but she's already gone through most of it.)

(Hehe. I'm glad to see that she's using it so often.)

(Oh, I should ask her about these bath salts when I give my work report.)

Ms. Yoisaki, do you have a minute?

Um, yes. Please come in...

I'm sorry to interrupt you working, but I'm here to give my work report.

Thank you again for coming today. I always appreciate it.

No, it's my pleasure. With regards to food, I've packaged each meal in its own container. All you have to do is heat it up.

Also...

How have you been enjoying the bath salts I brought a while back?

I chose an assortment based on different natural herbs so that you could choose whichever you like depending on how you feel each day...

I use them from time to time in my baths. They all smell very nice.

Really?! I'm so glad to hear that...!

They're actually starting to run low, so I was wondering if you had any particular preferences in terms of what I should get next.

I'll leave that to you, Ms. Mochizuki.

I've never bought any myself, and I don't really know what's available.

Understood. I'll think about whether to go with your current selection or a different assortment.

Okay, thank you.

Of course. Then, I'll see you again next week.

Oh, no one else is here.

To be fair, I am two hours early.

(As much as I want to practice, first...)

I need to choose which bath salts to take over soon.

Let's see. That website I was looking at was...

Hey, Hona! I was wondering who got here just now♪

But practice isn't for a while, right? Are you doing stuff on your own until then?

Yes, I was going to...

But there's something else that I also need to take care of.

Something else?

Does it have to do with your contract with that record company?

Oh, no. It doesn't actually have anything to do with our band...

Bath salts, huh...?

I didn't realize your job required so much extra thought. Sounds tough.

No, not at all.

I'm doing this because I thoroughly enjoy it.

Really...?

Oh, Hona!

What kind of bath salts are you looking for?

What kind...? Well, for starters, they can't have too strong a fragrance...

Ms. Yoisaki isn't fond of anything with a powerful scent, so I'm looking for something that's nice and relaxing.

Yeah, that'd be great!

I love those kinds of smells too!

Says the person who can never sit still.

Hey, gimme a break.

So, are there any other requirements?

I'm looking for a set that has the salts already measured out in little bags.

I know it produces more trash than the ones that come in bulk, which are much cheaper... But this way, she won't have to think about how much to use each time.

I see.

Also...

Wait, there's more?

Doesn't this ever get exhausting...?

What...?

Wait, Len, you can't say that...

Hona's doing her best to make this person feel comfortable!

Oh, sorry... I didn't mean that in a negative way or anything...

No, that's okay.

I've never found this job all that tiring is all...

Probably because you're such a nice person, Hona♪ Even when it comes to these bath salts, you said you like looking for the right ones.

Still, putting so much effort into something that's not directly related to your job seems like a waste of...

Geez, Len, don't you get it?!

This Yoisaki person means a lot to Hona! That's why she's putting in so much serious thought!

She's right...

I've already seen Ms. Yoisaki collapse once, and she still pulls all-nighters from time to time.

However, I also understand that she's doing her best to compose songs that can help the people who truly need them, including those closest to her.

She pushes herself too hard sometimes... But I'm just her housekeeper, so I can only help by doing these sorts of things.

I see...

But you genuinely want to be there for her.

Yes, I want to do whatever I can for her...

So, Len, we should totally help Hona find some really nice bath salts!

Yeah, it doesn't seem right to leave without doing anything after hearing that story.

Hehe. Thank you both very much.

Then, if you don't mind...

I actually just found a few interesting candidates.

Really?! Lemme see!
