[In the pursuit of comfort...] [This is the "Soothing Hot Bath Haido Spa", located in the Haido District...] [I always come here after my aerobics training.] [My objective is its sauna...] Sign: Soothing Hot Bath - Haido Spa]
[Sorry for the late introduction... My name is Andre Camel...] [I am an F.B.I. investigator.]
[In American saunas everyone wears swimsuits...] [and fiddles around with their smartphones or lies down, spending their time as they like.]
[On the contrary, you generally need to be naked in Japanese saunas...] [And there are many other rules.] [Sauna usage guidelines It is prohibited: - For tattooed-people to bathe. - To dive into cold baths - To squeeze the towels]
[Rules - or rather... let's refer to them as manners to abide by.] [And that is just so that everyone can pleasantly enjoy their sauna...]
*splash*
< Damn, it's cold! > I can't stay in here anymore, let's get out! *splash* *splash* [Inside, there are some rude people like those...]
[On a different note, though, there is a surprisingly large number of people who like saunas but dislike taking a cold bath...] *huff* [However, I would like them to try enduring the initial coldness...] [and submerge themselves up to their shoulders at least for once...]
[That is because after a while, a thin membrane will form around your body...] [and you will start feeling comfortable, since you won't directly feel the coldness of the water.] C: I have to start over again.
*tip* C: Hmm...? C: What an elegant and calm entrance into the water...
*flush* C: With demeanor that doesn't make a single wave... C: The membrane that covers my body, which should break by the slightest disturbance in the water surface, doesn't even waver.
C: And a perfect sense of distancing that doesn't invade the other individual's territory...
C: The embodiment of good manners in a sauna... C: What kind of gentleman are they? *glance*
C: Amuro Tooru?! *splash*
C: Why do I have to see him here, of all people?! A: Who'd have thought we'd meet in this kind of place... A: F.B.I....
C: First at the hotel, now at a sauna... C: Are you following me or something? A: That's my line.
A: By the way, after staying in cold water for so long... A: isn’t your body getting cold by now? A: I think that the best timing to get out is about ten seconds after your pulse has settled...
C: I have my own methods of enjoying the sauna! C: Please don't interfere! *splash*
C: Darn it! *splash*
*hmpf* C: What's gotten into me?! C: To think I'd commit the same breach of manners as the youngsters just now, by making waves in the cold bath...
C: Don't get agitated... C: Stick to your routine, Camel!
[The basics of bathing in a sauna...] [Is to cycle through sauna, cold baths, and taking rests.] [Before entering the sauna room, you should shower your body and then thoroughly wipe it down, in order to make it easier to sweat...]
[A sauna efficiently warms the whole body not only with heat from far-infrared rays...] [but also with the convection of steam.]
[And then, to the cold bath...] C: One, two, three, four...
[After pleasantly soaking your burned-out body with a cold bath...] [it's finally time for a break...]
[As you slowly close your eyes and relax yourself...] [you will feel the blood vessels that have been constricted in the cold water bath expand, and your blood flowing to every nook and cranny of your body.] C: Phew... What a nice feeling... C: Let’s do one more set! [Sauna - cold bath - break...] [If you can repeat those a few times, you will feel lighter inside out.]
*fssh*
C: Alright, since I'm warm enough... C: Let's go take a cold bath...
C: !! *creak*
[Opening the door as little as possible in order to not lower the temperature in the sauna room...] [Well, that's just basic courtesy.]
A: Aren't you getting out? C: I was thinking of moving to somewhere else...
C: to the highest level, where heat accumulates the most...
A: If that's what you want then go ahead, but...
A: you'd better go into the sauna... A: paying attention to your physical changes, including the amount of sweat, your body temperature and the subsequent hydration... A: because the sauna isn't an endurance competition, you know.
C: That usual Mr. Know-it-all attitude... C: It's utterly annoying...
O: Ooh, Amuro-san!
O: What a coincidence for us to meet here! A: Ogura-san and the owner of Colombo!
A: Are you returning from grass-lot baseball practice? *whoops* O: Yep! O: It was such a pain! My body wouldn't move at all!
O: The owner even tripped on his own feet... O: right? M: I could say the same about you! C: Acquaintances of his? *wa ha ha ha*
*fsssh*
*mfff*
C: That man still won't leave...
C: At this rate, it will be too much...
C: But if I leave the sauna room right here and now... C: it would be like I lost to him...
A: You'd better go into the sauna paying attention to your physical changes... C: My physical changes...
M: I’m going ahead, Ogura-san... O: Sure...
C: That middle-aged gentleman's looking kinda pale despite being in the sauna... C: Don't tell me... *huff huff*
C: it’s cyanosis?! A: Watch out!
O: Are you alright, O: Chief?!
O: That was close... If it weren't for this man, you would've gone headfirst into the burning stones... M: Thank you! A: Let's rest a bit...
A: Looks like he had drunk some alcohol... A: I had warned him that entering the sauna after drinking alcohol is dangerous... C: I see...
A: Thanks to you, he didn't get hurt. A: Well done for noticing he was out of his usual self... C: Nah. That was... C: thanks to your advice.
A: Hmm? C: Wha...?! C: What are you...?! *grab*
A: The color of your nails is returning slower than it should be... *pinch*
A: It looks like you're somewhat dehydrated.
C: T-That's true... *rustle rustle*
A: Here’s some water. A: Drink.
C: Uh! C: No, I...
A: Enough, just drink! *gulp*
C: This water has a salty taste to it! [When one is dehydrated, it is also important to replenish the salt lost through sweat...]
C: He added some salt...? C: For me, who showed signs of dehydration...
[It’s like that Japanese saying I’ve heard...] [about giving aid to an enemy when they're suffering...] Can: Blessing of the sea - Delicious - SALT Sign: Please feel free to use.
C: So that’s what they mean by "to show humanity even to one's enemy"*?! [As swift as wind, as gentle as forest, as fierce as fire, as unshakable as mountain] [Bishamonten] [* TN: In Japanese, this proverb literally means "to send salt to an enemy".]
C: That's the spirit of the Japanese bushido... C: As expected of Amuro Tooru... That man is formidable!
*atchoo* A: Did I catch a chill from the bath?
