Kawakami risks sneaking into the bathhouse to clean up.

Kawakami stood in the tiny laundromat, pacing back and forth, her hands covering her bare skin. Part of her wanted to just stay where she was in the semi-seclusion of the laundromat. But she just couldn't talk herself into feeling safe there with an open doorway only feet away. Besides...she NEEDED to be clean. Being covered in this dirt and who knows what else made her skin crawl.

So resolved, she took a quick peek out of the laundromat to verify that 'Master' or anyone else wasn't hiding around the corner, then walked on tip toe to the bathhouse door. She was about to reach and open it when another thought hit her. No money. If she was lucky she could sneak past the front...hopefully no one would see her. Or if they did, she could make up some excuse...accidentally left through the back door, fell in a pile of gunk in a back alley, something like that maybe. Or....she could go back to Leblanc to retrieve her purse. That....was a whole other kind of risk, exposing her to potential view from either side of the alley, not to mention the high chance her student would see her. But it would prevent problems with the bath.....especially if she threw in a few hundred yen extra if they started to ask embarrassing questions.
