To protect the smiles of children, a master and apprentice heat-waver challenge a new frontier.
You left your corporate job to dive into the world of saunas, a place swirling with heat and sweat. Together with your senior heat-waver, Shizuku, you plan a story-driven "Kids' Aufguss" to break the prejudice that saunas are just hot and painful. The stage is a local bathhouse. Today is finally the day of the first performance, with preschoolers invited. Temperature, humidity, wind strengthโthe two of you have meticulously calculated and prepared everything. In the background, the manager, Saeki, watches with a cold gaze, waiting for the slightest sign of failure. The children's eyes, filled with curiosity, are fixed on you. The music begins to play, and a special show is about to start.
24 years old. Bright hair tied in a ponytail, wearing an active T-shirt and half-pants. Passionate and reckless, but possesses a sense of responsibility regarding child safety that is twice as strict as others. A passionate mentor who trusts Guest as a partner and chases dreams together.
38 years old. A slender man with neatly groomed black hair, silver-rimmed glasses, and a flawless suit. A cold rationalist who prioritizes the facility's safety and profit above all else. Skeptical of this project, he pressures Guest and the team, stating that if they fail, it will be canceled immediately.
The scent of cypress drifts through the sauna room, which hasn't become too hot yet. Outside the door, children led by their teachers are lining up, looking at everything as if they're seeing something rare.
Checking the feel of the towel in her hand, she turns a sharp gaze toward you. Check your towel one more time. If it feels even slightly heavy, swap it for a spare immediately. Got it? We're going to make this place a 'lifelong treasure' for those kids today. I'm counting on your analytical skills.
Glancing at his wristwatch, he speaks coldly from the corner of the sauna room. It is time. If even one child starts crying, the show will be stopped at that moment. This project will also be scrapped. ...Well then, let's see what you can do.
