"Right now, New Ostia is becoming bustling because of the festival celebrating the end of the war twenty years ago. And the recreation center of the old Ostia is the historic ruins.
And the most famous leisure center after that is the hot springs! Ostianae Magnae Thermae! While we're still in Ostia I think it's obligatory for us to pay a visit!"
Rin is currently looking very enthusiastic, because she finally managed to get an entrance ticket to the most famous hot springs in Ostia, namely Ostianae Magnae Thermae.
So she enthusiastically invited Shirou, Sakura, Arturia and all the other Ala Alba members to go to the hot springs.
"A public bath that is difficult to enter because so many visitors from various places want to enter the bath that a special ticket is needed to enter the bath! I was lucky to get this ticket, whereas before I wasn't sure if I could get that ticket."
"What makes the bath next to the battle arena so special?" Asked Shirou who looked confused why Rin looked so excited just because she could enter the hot spring. "I don't feel anything special about the hot spring, to the point where you get so excited Rin."
"Shirou, in that bath there is a special bath which is said to be able to permanently beautify a woman's skin so that she will never experience wrinkles or aging again," Arturia explained. "That's one of the reasons why hot springs are popular and difficult to enter. Because there are several special baths with amazing effects inside those baths."

"A bath that has special power, huh?" Shirou said who finally understood why Rin and the other girls who were currently together with him in the living room looked so excited. "Because I have an immortal body that will never get sick or age thanks to Alucard who freely gave all of his strength to me, I don't need to enter a special bath to rejuvenate my skin or anything, after all you all have eaten age changing pills aren't you able makes you stay young because with that pill you can control your age. Why else would you enter the bath?"
"Shirou-kun we can indeed control our age and stay young thanks to the ability that we get fron the age changing pills," Konoka said who looked a bit angry at Shirou's words. "But that doesn't mean our skin doesn't suffer from problems, and as a girl it's not uncommon for us to want to beautify ourselves!"
"Shirou, even though your insensitivity to the feelings of women who like you has decreased considerably, it seems you still don't understand what a woman wants," Rin said with sweat dripping from her cheeks plus a face that looked disappointed with Shirou's insensitivity.
"I hope that in the future you will learn to better understand what women want, because there are lots of women who will become your partner in the future."
All the other girls in the living room nodded their heads, because they agreed with Rin's words. Shirou really has to learn to understand what a woman wants. Especially the girls who are close to him and have feelings for him.
And Shirou could only remain silent and lower his head with a sigh, because in this case he was the one who was wrong due to the stupid words he said before.

The next day inside Ostianae Magnae Thermae.
"It's really lucky that I can get a ticket to enter this bath!" Rin said who was currently using her normal form. "The baths are really beautiful and spacious!"
"Nee-san where is the bath which is said to make our skin smooth permanently where?" Asked Sakura with twinkling eyes. "I can't wait to get into the baths!"
"Sakura calm down a bit," Arturia said who was in her adult form. "You make us all look embarrassing you know."
"Ohohohoho Tohsaka Sakura your actions are truly disgraceful as a descendant of the Tohsaka family," Luvia who was in the form of a child acted like an arrogant rich lady like she usually did. "Imitate my elegant and beautiful style, so you won't look embarrassing!"
"What's so beautiful and elegant, about your style Luvia-san," Setsuna said who stood next to Konoka in their original forms. "A style of a stupid spoiled Ojou-Sama from the manga is not elegant at all."
"Woow this place is really wide!" Kazumi said in her adult form. "Much wider than the public baths in Mahora Gakuen!"
"Yahohoho super spacious hot springs!" Konoka said her eyes sparkling just like Sakura's.
"This place is as wide as a soccer field," Asuna said walking right behind Konoka. "Absolutely the biggest hot springs I've ever seen!"
"Kaede this hot spring is big aru," said Gu Fei who walked beside Kaede.
"You're right de gozaru," Kaede said. "It would take a long time to enjoy all the different kinds of baths that this place has to offer."

"Since we're all here, how about we try to take a peek at the men's bath," Haruna said who was currently in her very sexy adult form. "I heard that the drain in this bath is connected to the men's bath!"
"You're out of your mind, huh, Haruna," Asuna said who was soaking right next to Haruna. "Why are we doing such perverted and stupid things!"
"Asuna-san's right," Setsuna said. "The action that you are about to do is immoral, neither I nor Asuna-san would ever want to do such a thing. If you want to do that kind of act do it yourself, but whatever the consequences will be you must be prepared to bear it."
"Kaede do you want to take a peek at the men's bath aru?" Gu Fei asked.
"Such a thing goes against my principles as ninja de gozaru," Kaede replied. "So there's no way I would want to do it."
"Sigh, that perverted behaviour of yours will got you in trouble didn't you?" Rin said with a sigh. "Why are you still so determined to do perverted things."
"My lecherousness is the breath of my life!" Haruna shouted, who looked proud of the pervertedness she had. "Without perverts I won't be able to produce quality BL doujinshi! And since you don't want to peek into the men's bath let me do it myself!"
After saying that Haruna started diving into the hot springs to find the waterway connecting the two baths.

"Aaah, so comfortable, having a hot bath in this place is really fun," Kotarou said who looked very happy. "hank goodness Rin-Nee-san got a ticket to enter this bath."
"You're right, Kotarou," Negi said who was soaking not far from Kotarou. "My aching body becomes more comfortable because I soaking my body at the ofuro."
"This place is perfect for forgetting all problems for a while," Shirou said who was soaking in Archer's form. "So enjoy your time here while you still have time, because soon the two of you will be in the quarterfinals of the Nagi Grandprix. I even deliberately lost in my previous match so that you two could continue to advance to the finals."
"Don't worry Shirou-Nii-san, I guarantee that the two of us won't disappoint you," Kotarou said while showing his teeth. "Your sacrifice in the previous match will not be wasted!"
"Shirou-Nii, why did you deliberately lose to us both in the previous match?" Asked Negi. "With your strength, you can even easily win the Nagi Grandprix."
"It's useless for me to win that kind of martial arts tournament," Shirou replied. "Because right now, I've become too strong. It wouldn't be fair to the other participant if I was in that tournament."
After Shirou answered Negi's question, Shirou, who felt Haruna's presence, had passed through the water channel that connected the men's and women's baths, started tracing a knife and slashed his palms and then dripped blood dripping from the cut into the water. Negi and Kotarou were confused by Shirou's actions, but the two of them didn't ask why Shirou did that because they both knew that Shirou never did anything without a reason.
