Takao is, in fact, a good student, studying does not bother him, and maintains his grades out of a sense of duty to his parents, basketball, and because one day he wants to have a future. Magic, kind of freaks him out so while he is excited, he is also nervous and has not done much practicing. Instead, he spent his time familiarizing himself with their new home.

He has explored around so he is reasonably certain he knows which baths are the men's and right now relaxing in an onsen that does not have enchanted waters and can just remind him of home sounds like heaven.

When he opens the door, he expects someone may be in there. What he does not expect is what appears to be a half-naked woman, tying her hair up into a messy bun. He jumps so harshly that the night sparrow on his shoulder flutters up and away from him in shock.


"Huh?!" He actually stands there for several heartbeats, flush tinting his ears as Takao Kazunari is struck speechless. Once he gets his brain back functioning from seeing the most naked woman he has ever seen in person in his entire life he sputters.

"I..excuse me I thought this was the men's bath!"
