"Uh... how about I go take a look?"
Seeing little Himeko's worried expression, Himeko hesitantly suggested it.
"How could you? That's the men's restroom!"
Little Himeko immediately grabbed Himeko's hand. She was worried, but not worried enough to run into the men's restroom.
"..."
Himeko herself did not really mind. It was just a men's restroom; it was not as if she had never been in one. Before becoming a Valkyrie, those were basically the only restrooms she used.

Seeing that, little Himeko felt slightly unaccustomed to it.
Though the other person was her grown-up self, so eating something she herself had already eaten
