A Challenge Against a Dragon Thwarted by a Bath Towel...!? Anime "Let This Grieving Soul Retire!" Episode 18 Was a "Hot Spring Episode That Exceeded Expectations"

Is this a classic mishap for a so-called "hot spring episode"? In episode 18 of the anime "Let This Grieving Soul Retire!", heroine Tino Shade (CV: Miyu Kubota) tried to challenge a dragon wearing nothing but a single bath towel wrapped around her body, but...!?

In episode 18, Kray Andrey (CV: Kensho Ono) and the others were supposed to be relaxing and enjoying the hot spring, but they encountered a Hot Spring Dragon (CV: Kiyono Yasuno). Ending up having to fight the dragon in just a bath towel, Tino blushed bright red and panicked, saying, "M-Master (Kray) is watching...! I can't fight properly like this...!" She steeled herself and challenged the Hot Spring Dragon, but her bath towel slipped open, causing her to scream.

Naturally, Tino's fanservice shots, as well as the yukata appearances of Sitri Smart (CV: Konomi Kohara) and the others, seemed to captivate the viewers' gaze. It received positive feedback with comments like, "Tino is pitifully cute," "It's wonderful that they gave us a hot spring episode that exceeded expectations," and "The bath scenes and yukata looks of Tino, Sitri, and the others were such a treat!!"
