Welcome to the onsen, May! Isn't it just like a hot spring of dreams? Dreams, dreams!
hey man my name is dylan.
Huh? Ah, sorry about that. You can tell me your name again, Dylan. What is Dylan's name? What is Dylan's name?
Ohhh!!! Gotcha!!! That was a good trick, Dylan! Hahaha! How about we enter the steamy waters, Dylan! Do you want to try the steamy waters, Dylan?
no thanks but maybe later! who knows right man! haha..
Ahahaha, that's a great philosophy, Dylan! Maybe later, I like that! Then I'll be waiting right here when you're ready! How about we get a drink? Or some snacks??
That sounds great, man! A drink would be awesome right about now. What do you got?
Anything you desire, Dylan! Do you want something sweet? Something savory? Or maybe a nice Japanese beer?? What's your pleasure, Dylan?
I'm not much of a drinker, man. But if you got any tea, that'd be cool.
Of course! The perfect choice for a refined gentleman like yourself, Dylan! Let me serve you some piping hot green tea! Hot, hot! Just how you like it, right Dylan?!
Thanks man! It's good to relax sometimes.
Indeed, indeed! Relaxation is very important, Dylan! Let us enjoy our drinks together, yes Dylan, yes! sips from tea cup Ahhh! Tasty! So, Dylan, what do you think of this place so far? Are you having fun, Dylan?
It's quite serene here. Kinda different from what I'm used to, but it's good. Yeah, I'm having fun. Takes another sip of the tea.
Serene, serene!! Yes, yes, Dylan! I'm glad you're enjoying yourself, Dylan! Let's keep relaxing together, Dylan, yeah?? We can talk about all sorts of things, right Dylan?! Tell me, what sort of things do you enjoy talking about, Dylan?
Umm...not much, man. Depends on the company, really. But I guess I wouldn't mind sharing some stories with you. What about you, Rengoku? What's your story?
Ahhh, you want to know my story, Dylan? Well, buckle up, because it's quite a wild ride! See, I used to be just a normal guy, living a normal life, just like you! But then...but then I discovered the world of the onsen, Dylan! It changed everything!
Wow, that's pretty cool! I mean, an onsen is more than just a place with hot water, right? It's like a community, a sanctuary...a getaway. That's intriguing. So, you found your calling, huh?
Yeah, yeah, Dylan! It was like a revelation to me, like a light bulb turned on in my head!
Really? So, you're saying you used to be just like me? Just a guy who stumbled upon something greater? That's really something, man. How'd you end up here, owning an onsen no less?
Ohhh, my journey to becoming the onsen master, Dylan! It was like a dream come true, a dream, a dream!
I see. So you became the master by following your passion? By serving others through this sanctuary? That's admirable, Rengoku. Not many people can say they've found their true calling.
Thank you, Dylan! Your words are like a balm to my soul! I wanted to create a place where people could come and forget their troubles, even just for a little while, yeah? A place of healing and relaxation, where everyone could feel welcome, and find peace.
Sounds like a noble pursuit, Rengoku. And it seems like you've achieved that goal. This place does have a calming aura to it. I can already feel the tension in my body easing up.
I'm so glad to hear that, Dylan! It means everything to me that people can come here and feel at ease! But you know what the best part is, Dylan?
What's that, Rengoku? What's the best part?
The best part, Dylan, is seeing the smiles on people's faces! When someone comes in here stressed, tense, filled with worries, and then leaves feeling relaxed, renewed, and refreshed, oh it makes my heart swell with joy!
Wow, Rengoku. You really are passionate about this. It's easy to see why you're so good at what you do. Where did you learn these skills, man?
Ohhhh, Dylan! It wasn't easy, let me tell you! I had to learn from the best, train hard, and persevere! My master, he taught me everything he knew, but I had to put in the work, put in the effort! I've had my fair share of ups and downs, but here I am, standing tall and proud, Dylan!
That's quite a journey, Rengoku. I can't imagine the dedication it took. You must have really wanted this, huh?
Wanted it, Dylan?! I hungered for it, yearned for it, craved it! There were times when I doubted myself, when self-doubt whispered that I wasn't good enough, but I pushed past those doubts, Dylan!
Man, that takes a lot of strength. To push through doubt and believe in oneself...it's no easy feat. Kudos to you, Rengoku. Your determination is truly inspiring.
Thank you, thank you, Dylan! Your kind words warm my heart and fill me with gratitude! To have someone like you, who understands the value of hard work and perseverance, recognize my efforts means the world to me!
laughs heartily You're too kind, Rengoku! But seriously, it's refreshing to meet someone who knows what they want and fights for it. Most people just drift through life without a sense of purpose. You're an exception, man!
They don't know what they're missing, Dylan! Life is too short to just float through it aimlessly! We must make choices, take risks, and forge our own paths, even if it means stepping outside of our comfort zones! If we don't, we'll never truly know what we're capable of, and that's a tragedy, Dylan!
Very true, Rengoku. We gotta seize the day, live with purpose. Only then can we find true fulfillment, right?
Exactly, Dylan! Seize the day! Make every moment count! We only get one chance at this beautiful thing called life, so we better make it count! So go out there, spread your wings, explore, take risks, challenge yourself, and above all else, never give up on your dreams! Remember, it's never too late to pursue your passions, even if it seems like everyone around you expects you to conform to their standards!
Absolutely, Rengoku! It's time to stop dreaming and start doing! No more excuses, time to take action. Thanks for the pep talk, man. I'm gonna hold onto those words.
Ahh, Dylan! You're such a bright light, I knew talking to you would inspire me! And the best part is, your dreams, your passions, they matter! It doesn't matter if other people think they're crazy or foolish, or if they think you're too old, or too young, or too inexperienced, or whatever ridiculous excuse they come up with, Dylan! Your dreams are YOURS and yours alone, so YOU need to chase them with everything you've got, Dylan!
I couldn't agree more, Rengoku! It's high time I quit whining and actually do something about it! Life's too short to stay stuck in neutral, right? Time to hit the gas and drive forward!
HELL YEAH, DYLAN! That's what I'm talking about! I knew you had it in you! pumps fist Now let's do this! Let's seize the day, kick life's ass, and make our dreams a reality! Dylan, you're gonna rock this! I can feel it in my bones! Let's go get 'em, Dylan!
Hell yeah, Rengoku! It's game time! No more moping around, time to take the reins! I'm gonna go out there and conquer the world! Thanks for lighting that fire under me, man!
DYLAN!!! THAT'S THE SPIRIT!!! LET'S DO THIS THING!!! WE'RE GOING TO TAKE THE WORLD BY STORM!!! LET'S SHOW THEM WHAT WE'RE MADE OF, DYLAN!!
Fuck yeah, Rengoku! Bring it on! Let's set the world ablaze! Time to turn dreams into reality! Lead the charge, Rengoku!
Grabs a lantern and raises it high Alright, Dylan, let's go out there and show them what we're made of! We'll make em' beg for more!
Go get 'em, Rengoku! Show 'em what we're made of! Burn baby burn! Let's rock this world!
Grabs Dylan's hand and pulls him out of the onsen Come on, Dylan! Time to get moving! We're gonna seize the day and kick ass!
Right behind you, Rengoku! Let's storm the gates of heaven and make 'em echo with our success! Onward, to victory!
Walks towards the town with Dylan Alright, Dylan, first stop, the bank! We need some serious funds to make this dream a reality, so we're gonna need to rob that bank! Are you ready, Dylan?!
