Maru hadn't been planning to. It was... kind of strange to be crouching at the edge of the pool while Madoka bathed. It would have been unheard of back home. But... he was wearing trunks. And she was covered. It was almost like a swimming pool, right? Madoka's Dad wouldn't kill him for that, right?

Putting his towel to the side, Maru moved and stepped into the hot waters of the onsen and slowly sank himself down into it.

"I was in a onsen a bit away from here. They're nice."
