"Hmmm, a towel, water, my hand protectors..." Senji looks to see if he's forgotten anything in his bag.
"Did you bring a change of clothes?" Fujimura asks.
"Of course. Well, I'm off, besides I should be home a little later tonight, so no need to wait for me to eat."
"It's cold, so be sure to put on your coat, especially after your session okay? It would be a shame to get sick on vacation." Fujimura accompanies him to the entrance, with Chiyo.
"Be careful, don't push too hard, tomorrow's the big day!" Chiyo said.
"Don't worry, I've got it under control..." Senji sighs.
"Good training Senji-sama!" Passing the living room, Inaho waves to Senji.
The girls wave to Senji, encouraging him. Chiyo and Fujimura watch him go until he disappears behind the wall. They then return to the living room, rolling up their sleeves.
"Come on girls, let's get ready!" Fujimura announces.
"Huh? Prepare for what?" Kodama asks.
"A few days ago, Senji-kun talked about taking advantage of the vacations to give the house a thorough cleaning before spring." Chiyo explains.
"But Senji was very busy at the start of the year, in addition to the obvious stress. So Chiyo-san and I thought we'd do it!" Fujimura adds.
"Oh, I see! What an excellent idea! Chiyo-sama, Fujimura-sensei!" Asia stands up, ready to help.
"If it can lighten Senpai, even a little, then it's for the best." Sakura is also motivated.
"What? Really? And why should we participate, the vacations exist so we can't do anything." Kodama grumbles.
"Well, it seems to me we live under the same roof, Himegami-san, so you owe it to yourself to help!" Haruko scolds her.
"Come on Himegami-senpai, it'll be fun to do it all together!" Exclaims Inaho.
After a long sigh, Kodama stands up, accepting despite her evident laziness.
"Alright then, here we go!" Fujimura announces.
"Yes!"
The girls take the vacuum cleaner, brooms and feather dusters from the cupboard and start the big clean-up. Every floorboard is cleaned, and the cupboards, shelves and other desks are dusted with feather dusters.
Then they wash the windows and veranda, open them to dry faster and take out the futons to air them. Once this is done, they separate. Chiyo, Asia and Haruko take care of the kitchen, while Fujimura, Kodama, Inaho and Sakura take care of the bathroom.
While they clean the kitchen, Chiyo is drawn to the TV, watching a cooking show. She stops and sits in front of it, listening and watching attentively.
"Today we're offering an asazuke, made with Japanese ginger and vegetables. Simply chop and mix..."
"Would you like to try?" Haruko asks as she approaches her. "Senji-chan has been shopping again, so we've got cucumbers and eggplant, though not sure about the ginger..."
"Yes, there is!" Asia proudly holds up the vegetable.
"Great! So you need a spoonful of ginger..." While reciting the recipe, Chiyo gets back to work.
They vacuum one last time before joining the others in the bathroom, also almost finished. In her boredom, Kodama grabs the showerhead, declaiming a water fight and splashing everyone. It takes them several minutes to stop and dry off. This done, they take their clean cloths to iron, taking turns with their own clothes.
