“It’s more bath products than cosmetics…” Minoru scratched his head sheepishly.
One of the trays next to the tub had a selection of Tabi No Yado bath salt sachets. There were four different kinds, each with their own scent and color, meant to represent a different Japanese onsen. (None from Minoru’s family’s little town, but his mother still vouched for the milky mixed pack.)
On another, there was an exfoliating towel and a bar of Cow brand soap. Both were common items Minoru was used to seeing back home. The soap was milk-based, hence the cow theme, and smelled like roses. Unlike a lot of bar soaps, it doesn’t dry out skin, so he was hoping it wouldn’t be too harsh.
Alongside it was a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner from Shu Uemura that Minoru had never heard of, but his mother gushed about. She even insisted on sending him a set for his gift - which, when Isamu revealed the usual asking price, Minoru was immediately falling-over-backwards grateful for. (Clearly, their parents wanted to help Minoru impress his first girlfriend.)
The last tray had some lotion (perfect for massaging) as well as some face mask sheets, cleansing cream and the like. So, some of it was kind of like cosmetics. Minoru was really no expert on this kind of stuff. He barely knew his way around a hairbrush.
“Wait… you can kiss without touching?” He looked up quizzically. Forget about the bath for a moment. “Like, telepathically?”
