Episode 1542: Marumi Arrives at Kusatsu Onsen

“Oh wow, Kusatsu Onsen really has such a charming atmosphere!”
Kote-chan stepped out of the camper van, his eyes widening at the rising steam.

Marumi spotted President Tamura standing frozen in front of the inn.
He looked somewhat exhausted as he hurried over to her.

“Marumi-san, I’m truly grateful you came.
My inn is packed with guests, yet the financial statements are deep in the red.
The dishes using Shimonita leeks and Joshu beef should be popular, and yet...”

Tamura’s voice trembled.
There were sales, but no money left over.
He was the very image of a business owner lost in a “labyrinth of numbers.”

“First, let me see your financial statements.
Even if hot spring buns are your specialty, if you stay in the red, your business will vanish along with the steam.”

Tamura nodded deeply at Marumi’s words.
And so, amidst the steam of Kusatsu, the first step toward reviving the inn began.
