Speaking of baths, one had to mention mixed-gender bathing. To the people of this country, bathing was a sacred activity that could bring people closer together. Because of that, some families did not mind the distinction between men and women when bathing together...
Some girls in certain families even continued bathing with their fathers or older brothers after coming of age. That was how mixed-gender bathing came about. Of course, after women received modern education and their awareness of independence began to awaken, this custom gradually faded into history.
But the disappearance of any custom required a process. In some families that promoted old traditions, there were still cases where men and women bathed together even after reaching adulthood, and there were many reasons for this.

As for why she had told Mashiro to return to her room, in Utaha Kasumigaoka's eyes, Mashiro Shiina was a girl who had grown up overseas, and she also lacked common sense...

"Utaha, Master Umaru is in danger..." Mashiro Shiina said seriously while Utaha was deep in thought.
"Umaru isn't in danger. Sogo is still here!" Although
