[X] Invite Reisen to bathe with you.
As you think of what to do now, you get an idea. You call out to Reisen.
“Say Reisen, would you like to take a bath with me?” There's no malicious thought in your words. You just say this out of a genuine sense of friendliness. You don't even know why you asked in retrospect, it probably was because she looked tired.
The bunny girl looks at you incredulously.
“Ehh-" What did you say?” She asks.
You don't know what possessed you in that instant, but you honestly did not have any ulterior motives.
“I asked if you wanted to take a bath with me. You look tired. You could probably benefit from relaxing a bit.”
“But Shirou, that'd be uncomfortable!” She replies.
“Why would it be uncomfortable? The bath is big enough for the both of us.”
“That's not what I meant! It's just that you're a guy and I'm a girl.”
“So? It's not like I'm that much bigger than you. We should fit fine in the large bath.”
Reisen is getting a bit flustered at your oblivious responses.
“But we'd be naked! Together!” She yelps out.
“How else would you take a bath? I don't think it'd be easy to wash yourself if you're wearing a swimsuit or a towel.” You say, wondering how you could clean yourself if you had clothes on.
“But it's wrong!” She yells out. “We aren't even lovers or anything!” She's now blushing a bit as she yells that out.
“You lost me.”
“It's not that I'm completely against the idea but...”
You continue to watch an every increasingly flustered Reisen try to explain that it's inappropriate for the two of you to bathe together. She's eventually interrupted by a loud clearing of a throat. The both of you turn to look at a still seated Eirin, with a rather bothered expression.
“While under normal circumstances it'd be amusing to hear your incessant lovey-dovey spat, I want to get some work done.” She says in a flat tone. “I do not care if you end up soaping each other's body thoroughly or start sleeping together regularly like the other night, but please, please, have your discussion elsewhere.” And she adds, a bit sarcastically. “Thank you for your cooperation, it's highly valued.”
The two of you look at each other like children who have just been scolded by their nanny. You wordlessly leave the clinic and close the door behind you. Reisen avoids looking at you further, and just tells you to 'just go take a bath already'. She quickly dashes around a corner and is gone before you can talk to her further. You decide that it would indeed be the best course of action to take a bath now.
You go to the bath, and as expected, the tub is already filled. You close the door and take off your clothes. You wash yourself a bit before getting in. It's the second time that you bathe today. That's not a bad thing by all means, but it's a sharp departure from not having a regularized bathing routine when you lived by yourself. You get into the bath. The water is at a really nice temperature, not too cold nor hot. The warm water takes away some of the muscle fatigue that you have. Feels good~
You start thinking about the experiment you just endured. Couldn't she have just tried it on a bunny first? Maybe she chose a human test subject so that she could market it in the future. You laugh a bit as you imagine a poor farmer taking the drug and then being unable to stop tiling the land for hours at a time. He'd probably end up ruining all of his farm. Or a baker, having taken the drug finding himself unable to stop kneading the dough. Too much fermentation would occur and probably ruin the bread. Still, what other uses could a drug that induces repetitive motions for hours on end possibly have? You can't think of any aspect that you yourself could benefit from. It's not like you run a lot or have to move a certain part of your body repeatedly for anything. Well in any case, you'd have rather done it in stead of Reisen. A part of you believes that you should protect everyone that you can.
As you dwell upon that thought it then hits you. The reason why Reisen refused to come into the bath with you. Yeah, it would be awkward to be here with a member of the opposite sex. Well whatever. You wouldn't have minded at all. Her loss, really. Maybe you'll get another chance in the future to ask again.
You continue to convince yourself of your delusions as you get out of the bath. You rinse yourself off and then proceed to towel yourself dry. You just realize that you've got a problem now. You haven't got a set of clean clothing. The clothes your took off this morning were dirty and slightly torn, so you left those for washing. And the clothes you were just wearing are sweaty and smelly. Hmm this is quite the dilemma, you should get clean clothes from somewhere, but you don't know from where. Also you feel adverse to putting on your dirty clothes again. You feel that it'd negate all the benefits that you got from taking a bath just now. You don't want to stink again. You could always go out wrapped in a towel, that might work. You can block out your naughty bits with it as you search for clothes. Well, you've got to make up your mind where you're going as well...
First Choice (what to wear):
[] Dirty clothes
[] Towel
[] Nothing
Where to go for clothes:
[] Back to the clinic
[] Try looking for Reisen (first at her room)
[] See if Kaguya can help you out
[] Search your own room carefully again

>>5880 >>5871 What the hell? This type of speculation is completely unfounded. UFW does not (intentionally) involve hot-gluing. I don't think a real fig lover would ever hotglue something as magnificent as Shanghai or Albion. Especially if they were sentient.... well maybe if they were sentient they might like it? But that's another disturbing train of thought best left for another time.
