After deciding to stay the night, I continued fishing with Anima and we used the log cabin kitchen to cook and eat fish together in the evening.
　Afterwards, at Anima's suggestion, we took the first hot bath of the day, and I was now soaking in the warm water.
　This log cabin bath, similar to a cypress bath, has a different feel to it than a hot spring bath. You can't see the view, but the wooden walls and the bathtub are warm and inviting, and the smell of the wood wafting through the air is pleasant.
　And as you would expect from an expensive log house, the bathtub is spacious enough to accommodate several people at once, so you can relax and soak in it.

　The peace I was feeling as I relaxed in the bath was broken by a loud voice right afterwards.

''Master!　Excuse me!
...What?
'I'm sorry it took me a little while to get ready, and I'm sorry to keep you waiting!
........................what?

　When I turned back to the voice I heard, I saw Anima with a towel wrapped around her body, looking like she was ready to bathe. No, no, wait!　What's going on?　I had to look twice, but how in the world did that happen!

'Ah, Anima!　Huh?　W-why?
'Ha!　I have heard that it is a rule that those who become lovers with their master have to bathe and fellowship with him!

　It's a good idea to be able to have a good time with them. I'm sure you're right, I didn't bathe with my lover........no, wait, I didn't bathe with Mr. Zeke. No, you didn't, did you?　Ray-san was trying to get me to mix it up, but that thing ended up being an attempt, and yes, I didn't.

''Well Anima, who on earth did you hear such nonsense from?
Lady Alice?　In the world where the master was, it was a traditional act of lovers' tradition of naked companionship...
....

　I'll definitely beat that guy up later.
　 ....

'Stop Anima!　What are you doing?
'Ha!　　I'm sorry, I don't usually wrap a towel around my bath...

　She's a former Black Bear, so I don't think it's any wonder she's not familiar with the proper bathing etiquette stuff. That's about the extent of bathing in the Black Bear era.
　Well, since this isn't a hot spring, you can wash yourself afterwards, and you don't have to worry too much about etiquette when it comes to towels and such............

"...Anima, you can keep your towel on.
Ha, ha ... all right.

　The situation was troubling. What was troubling was that Anima had already poured hot water on her body, so it was difficult to clear up the misunderstanding now and ask her to leave.
　No, I'm sure Anima would listen to me if I explained it properly, but it's awkward to ask her to get out of the bathtub while she's halfway wet.

''........I mean, Anima. Aren't you embarrassed?
'I've had plenty of time to prepare myself, and from the beginning, this body is all Master's!　So, no problem!
Well, I see... yeah. For now, keep the towel on...
Ha!

　While saying that, Anima's face is red, so she must be feeling quite embarrassed. However, Anima has the power of action, or rather, boldness.
　Once you decide to do this, you won't hesitate, or if I hadn't stopped you earlier, you would have definitely removed the towel.

''Well, I'd like to take my leave again.
Uh-huh.

　Let's be prepared for this to happen. Don't worry, it's not like it's a murky bath or anything, but I've got my towel wrapped properly, and Anima wouldn't act out of character.
　As long as I'm not too conscious of the rest......................then it should be fine.
　While thinking like that, I glanced at Anima, who came into the bathtub with a towel wrapped around her.......Anima, you have big breasts. It seems to stand out more when it's just a towel or... no, wait, wait, wait, calm down, what am I thinking all of a sudden!

The water is just right.
'Uh-huh. Yeah.
I never would have imagined soaking in warm water when I was a black bear, but it's not as easy as it sounds once you get used to it.

　Anima, you look so calm. I can't help but feel a sense of composure. Her cheeks are red, but her answers are calm and she seems more relaxed than me.
　Well, but if it's like this, it's going to end without any problems.......

''........Master, I would like to ask you one question?''
Uh-huh?
...here, here, here, what do we do?
....

　I'll take back my previous statement. I think the reason why he seemed to be able to afford it is because he had simulated it beforehand until 'getting in the bathtub with me' as he said he was prepared to do. That's why I was able to act without hesitation and that's why I was able to afford it.
　However, from that point onwards, it seems that he hadn't thought about what to do and how to do it, and Anima is visibly starting to get impatient.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work. And above all, my gut tells me that I've experienced trouble in the bathrooms many times before.

　......... "This mixed bathing is still a bit of a mess from here on out".......
