What a nice bath! In "The Apothecary Diaries", Maomao is surrounded by her "sisters" during her return home

In the anime "The Apothecary Diaries", a bath scene featuring Maomao (CV: Aoi Yuki), a girl from the red-light district, and the popular courtesans known as the "Three Princesses" has become a topic of conversation. It seems that many people were soothed by the affectionate "back washing" scene between Maomao and the close-knit courtesans, who are like family to her.

In episode 18, Maomao returned to the high-class brothel "Ryokushoukan" in the red-light district. There, she took a bath with Meimei (CV: Megumi Han), one of the Three Princesses. The Three Princesses are Meimei, Pairin (CV: Ami Koshimizu), and Joka (CV: Hiroki Nanami), who are the top three courtesans in the Ryokushoukan. Although they are so special that first-time customers can't even see their faces, they were like mother figures to Maomao, who looked after her. Maomao affectionately calls the Three Princesses "sisters".

In the scene, Meimei offers, "Shall I wash your back? It's been a while." Maomao hesitantly responds, "Oh, that's okay." Just then, Shirin and Nyoka join in, saying, "Washing each other's backs brings back memories" and "You should let her do it. After all, you won't be able to come back for a while starting tomorrow." Initially, Maomao wears a troubled expression, but as her back is being washed, she begins to look delighted. Pairin and Joka watch Maomao, who is now blushing, with a warm smile.
