Kinme Cleaning

Watch Out for Fall Mold We're seeing a lot of mold damage due to the lack of sunny days this year! Mold starts to grow when the temperature is between 20-30°C and humidity is around 70%. We recommend leaving your closet doors open before you go out!! We are happy to clean your moldy clothes for you here.

Relaxing One-Day Trip

Girls' Trip to the Elegant Resort on Hatsushima

The resort's large seaside pool is only open in the summer and allows you to enjoy a spectacular view of the ocean while you relax! While Hatsushima has no sandy beaches, the pool is fun for the family and a safe way to swim while taking in the ocean.

The pool actually uses seawater.

In addition to clothes, we also clean bags, hats, plush toys, and...

The rain is getting heavier.

The news did say that it will get even worse this evening and overnight.

Maybe I should give up on visiting the bath today.

Kinme

He still hasn't come to pick it up.

And there's only two days left of summer vacation.

It probably just slipped his mind.

You two are absolutely soaked!

Sorry, Kinme-san. Is it okay if we take cover in here?

Of course! Go right ahead.

So like, we were doing homework at the library and when we left,

it totally started pouring.

You probably shouldn't be out and about today anyway.

I'm working on a stain right now, so I'd better get back to it.

Feel free to stay a while and dry off.

All right!

Yeah. Thanks.

Kinme-san always seems so busy.

Whoa! What the heck? It's Kinme-san!

Oh, Hatsushima? I'm so jealous! Did you go for fun?

Man, this takes me back. We went there for an elementary school field trip!

Yeah, I remember that.

Um, I didn't exactly go for fun.

During our field trip there, when we were all fishing on the seawall...

Kyu-kun caught a stingray and everyone went nuts!

Whoa!

It's a stingray!

A stingray!

Yay! Yay!

Moruda decided to try to mess with it and, like,

he almost got stung!

Yeah, I remember that. Stingray tails have those nasty venomous barbs.

Huh, what a fun memory.

Uh-huh. So was this your first trip to Hatsushima, Kinme-san?

Yes, probably.

Hmm? Oh!

Thanks for the towel, Kinme-san.

Huh?

The rain lightened up some, so I'd better run home.

Oh? There's really no need to rush.

Actually, it's my turn to cook dinner tonight.

You can stay longer if you want, Kyu-kun.

M'kay, see you next term!

Oh, she's gone.

Well, I should probably get going too.

Wait just a minute, Kyusho-kun.

I'll get your bag for you.

Oh, that's right. I totally forgot about it.

I thought so. Wait right there.

I should be done with the stain soon.

So she does have a good memory.

The pool actually uses seawater.

Power's out.

Wait, weren't you just running the washer and dryer?

Yes, they both stopped mid-course.

Huh?

What are you gonna do? Isn't that bad for the clothes?

I'm not going to do a thing.

Huh?

In a situation like this,

panicking and pulling out everything being washed and dried

would probably be riskier for the clothes.

I'll wait and see, and once the power is back, maybe just start everything over.

Makes sense.

But the question is, how long is the power going to stay out for?

It would be great if it came back before I have to close shop.

Oh! I was going to give you your bag. I'll go get it.

Here you go.

Thanks.

P-Please take good care of it, okay?

Uh, sure.

Oh, here. I should lend you an umbrella.

Actually...

Huh?

Maybe I'll stay a little longer.

Huh?

Yeah, I mean, you don't seem to like it much.

Thunder.

It doesn't bother me at all! I-If it doesn't last... very long.

Yeah. Bullseye.

B-But it isn't as scary as ghosts, at least!

Huh? She's scared of ghosts too?

The rain's getting heavier again.

Th-Then maybe you should stay a little longer.

We are closed for the day.

Hmm. Power still isn't back yet,

and it's already starting to get dark.

Looks like Mom can handle the inn by herself.

She can?

Whoa! That's close!

Huh? What? What is that sound?

That lightning strike might have knocked something over in the back.

Huh?
