It's a mixed bath!

As I stand in front of the entrance of the changing room, I notice something weird.

"Women's bath" Is what what was written on the sign. However the background on the sign was of color blue and it seemed like the word "women's" was written on a paper and sticked on the board with tape.

As I turn my face to the other changing room, the sign was the exact opposite. Red background, but "men's" word sticked on top of it.

Shouldn't it be the other way around? What's this? Is someone pulling off a prank? If so then this is way too obvious for one.

As I was standing and dwindling in confusion someone touches my shoulder from behind, which startles me. I quickly face back to find an elderly woman standing behind me.

"There's nothing wrong in there. There are female customers in right now. You may go check for yourself." she said with a smile.

"Uh-No, that's not what I... Um...yes I'm going in." She smiled beautifully and kindly, how could I refuse such a gentle elder?

I walk Into the changing room and take off all my clothes, then put them in the basket of my shelf. However, I notice that all other shelves were empty.

"...huh? Didn't she say there are other customers besides me too?"

I don't pay it too much mind and go straight towards the shower.

Author: No, you should pay mind to it!

As a result, a few minutes after dipping into the hot springs and I'm surrounded by senile, smelly, wrinkled and fat old men.

Amidst this situation, I stare up towards the sky and rethink, how did I get into this situation?

I should've known something wasn't right this entire time, then why? (It's the plot's fault).

When it comes to my hobbies, I lose all of my sense. As a result I fail to look at things from the common and right perspective. Whether it comes to exhibitionism or hot spring, it's all same.

Now, the question arises— what do I do? The bath is full of men who seem to have poor eyesight. I've been bathing with them for a while and they don't seem to have noticed me.

Usually such situations would arouse me, however when two of my hobbies are clashing together, (exhibitionism and hot spring) it's impossible. I can't have dirty thoughts at this sacred place. Or rather, I'm unable to, as surprising as it is.

The most plausible idea would be to stay in the bath until the crowd clears. However I might reach my limit before that happens and collapse.

Considering that they have bad eyesight, I can just use my stealth techniques which I acquired from my exhibitionist adventures and get out of this place.

But they might not have eyesight bad enough to not notice any clear movements, they did clean themselves properly before dipping into the bath which means they could see at least that much.

What should I do? What should I do? As I'm busy coming up with plans and ideas, someone places his palm on my shoulder.

"Shiro... You've been rather quite for a while. Are you okay? Is the heat getting into you?"

Who the HELL is that? Is he mistaking me for someone? Crap, this is gonna take some time.
