The dawn has broken, a new day has come for me and my hot spring life. God said my aide would arrive today. I wonder what he's like. OR, what she's like, heh. ...I just noticed, here's a guy who'd been sitting under that tree ever since I woke up. Maybe...
"Glad you noticed me, Netsumizu Onzen."
That person knows my name! So maybe they're my...enemy!? If I think about it, it makes perfect sense that the most popular hot spring currently would send they're aide to get rid of the potential dangers. This is so bad now.
"I am your aide, Kagerou Kiri, please call me Kiri."
"Oh, you're my aide. Pleasure to make your acquaintance. You're very formal, I expected a ruffian type."
Kiri stayed silent after that. I didn't notice because of the shade at first but the light revealed to me that Kiri was, in fact, female. Wait. Does this mean she'll be naked if she bathes in me?! I'll be inside her gaps and around her skin?!?!?

"Just so you know Mr. Onzen, there's a nearby waterfall."
"...Is that so."
Damnit. She saw through me. And now who's this person strolling in suspiciously as if he was an enemy here to do something bad about me. Man I've stuff figured out.
"Well hello there. You must be this spring's aide. I'll introduce myself first, I'm Katamaru Nendo, the nearby spring's aide. Now I'll have to do my customary greeting."
Onsin's aide? And what is this about a greeting? Oh he took out a bottle with water, and pouring it on himself. Wait. What is this? He's glowing! And something's forming around his body!
"Mr. Onzen, I'll be taking some water."
"Huh? You know about this as well? I should've expected that from a fellow aide. I guess we dance!"
Kiri poured some of my water on her...She's glowing too! No way, what is this?!
"Spring Augment!"
Spring Augment? AH! Ugh, a blast of thick air just exploded. Wha-what are they wearing?!
"Kagerou Kiri, Hydrothermal Augment."
"HAHAHAHA! Katamaru Nendo! Muddy Water Augment!"
What's with these guys?! First some weird ritual now even weirder armor?! I don't understand any of this!
"Hey Onzen, seems like you're seeing this too."
"Onsin? How'd you come up to my spring and watch this too? You know about this Augment they're doing? Explain it to me!"
"Sure, in the next chapter!!!"
I'll just ignore their wall breaking now. Seems like a heated battle will start in the next chapter. I hope I'll actually understand this.
