Location: Dorm Room (Tetora, HiMERU, Arashi)
Tetora: I’m home~☆
Arashi: Aah, Tetora-kun. Welcome back ♪
Tetora: Uwoah!?
Arashi: Oh no, I’m so sorry for scaring you. I forgot I was in the middle of doing a facial.
I only just put this mask on a moment ago, so do you mind if I keep it on a little longer?
Tetora: It’s cool, please don’t worry about me. Actually, I’m the one who’s sorry for freaking out like that.
Arashi: Oh, it’s no problem. Anyone would be surprised to suddenly come face to face with that.
I usually do my facial masks before bed, but I just got my hands on a brand new one, so I just had to try it out right away!
Wonder if it’ll really make my skin “super soft and elastic” like it says on the box...♪
Tetora: “Super soft and elastic”, huh… Narukami-senpai, it’s amazing how you always put so much care into your beauty regimen.
I know that, as an idol, I should be doing more for my grooming. But it’s such a pain that I always end up just doing a facial cleanser and then calling it a day.
Arashi: And yet, your skin is really smooth and beautiful, Tetora-kun. Makes me jealous! But it could be even more beautiful if you tended to it, you know?
Tetora: Even more beautiful? For real?
Arashi: But of course. Won’t you humor me and try it out?
Tetora: Hmm~... I am curious to find out how much of a change it really makes. I guess if it’s just a little bit, I do wanna give it a shot.
Arashi: Ufufu. Let’s both become beautiful together ♪
Well then, I’m going to set everything up. But first, let me take off my facial mask… Okay.
Face cream, hand cream, and of course, body cream, too...♪
Tetora: There are this many different types of just creams?
Arashi: Yup. And of course, I have several different ones of each type too. Which one would you like, Tetora-kun?
Tetora: I wouldn’t even know where to start choosing one… Can I leave that up to you, Narukami-senpai?
Arashi: Wow, I get to choose? I’m just itching to put my skills to use ♪
Alright... then how about we go with this brand for the face cream?
Tetora: Oh, I like that refreshing lemon scent~... Yeah, I’m gonna use this one ♪
So do I just smear it on my face? Or is there more to it?
Arashi: Of course there is. First we start with a toner, then some beauty serum, and finally, milky lotion. After that, it’s time for the face cream.
Tetora: I have to plaster all of that on my face!?
Toner, beauty serum, and then… Uhm, I can’t remember what comes next.
Arashi: Remembering all those different karate stances seems way more difficult to me.
But no worries, I’ll just apply them for you.
First comes toner. I’m putting some of it on my palm, and then I’ll rub both hands together like this to warm it up.
After that, I use both my hands to spread it over your entire face. Going from the middle to the sides, nice and evenly...♪
Tetora: Ooh… This feels nice, like a massage. I’m in heaven...♪
Arashi: Ufufu. Same here, your smooth skin feels sooo good ♪
Even from up close, your skin looks totally poreless. Really, I wish I was that lucky~.
Tetora: You do? I think you’re already plenty beautiful the way you are, Narukami-senpai.
In fact, I’m sure you’re way more beautiful than I am. I mean, you put all this effort into your beauty regimen and all.
Arashi: Oh Tetora-kun, you little charmer...♪
HiMERU: — HiMERU is home.
Arashi: Oh my, welcome home, HiMERU-chan.
Tetora: Hey there~.
HiMERU: ………
Tetora: Woah, wait! Our eyes met, so please don’t ignore us and say something!
It’s not like we’re doing anything questionable, but now I suddenly feel like running away!
HiMERU: This is the first time HiMERU encountered a situation such as this, you see. He didn’t want to cause any trouble, so he decided not to interfere.
However, the cosmetics over there did rouse HiMERU’s interest. Narukami-san, are these your personal belongings?
Arashi: Yup. HiMERU-chan, could it be that you’re also someone who’s hooked on beauty regimens?
HiMERU: You could say that. As an idol, it’s important to care about one’s appearance.
Oh...? This brand is a food company, but they also released a line of cosmetics?
Arashi: Yup! They only recently entered that market, but they already have a wide variety of them, and they’re so popular on social media.
What products do you use, HiMERU-chan? Would you mind showing me?
HiMERU: HiMERU doesn’t mind. Here you go.
Tetora: Ohh. They’re totally different from the ones Narukami-senpai has, huh? And they all seem like they’re brand items that cost a fortune.
HiMERU: It depends on the cosmetics, but some of them are affordable. For example, this body scrub is something within a high schooler’s price range.
Arashi: Oh, what a nice honey fragrance ♪ Perhaps I should buy one for myself?
Tetora: Uu~... That smell made me hungry. I’m gonna head to the kitchen and get myself something to eat.
Arashi: Not so fast. Eating within three hours before bedtime is strictly forbidden!
Tetora: No waaay… But then I won’t be able to sleep because of how hungry I am! And a lack of sleep is bad for your skin, too.
Arashi: You have a point…
Then how about you drink some caffeine-free tea? That would help your empty stomach.
HiMERU-chan, how about you? I’ll prepare a tea with beautifying effects for all of us.
HiMERU: HiMERU will join you. He’s sure that the teas Narukami-san knows are very good.
Arashi: Ufufu, then it’s decided. Let’s all go to the kitchen together...♪
