Bath ~Good Bath... I Guess?~

Bath ~Good Bath... I Guess? is the twentieth bangaihen chapter of the To Love-Ru Darkness manga series.

Summary
One evening in Yuki's house, ater working during the day (pulling weeds and helping his father), Rito washes the fatigues by taking a bath. Rito worries that Momo could barge into the bathroom because she already does it three days in a row and last time, Mikan found and yelled at them.

Suddenly, someone (naked) enter in the bathroom and instinctively Rito thinks it's Momo, but it turns out to be Mikan. Rito is suprised and asks why she's here, but Mikan tells him that there is nothing to be flustered about because not too long ago, they bathed together often. Rito admits it's true, but he's still hesitant. Mikan tells him to get in the bathtub, so she can wash.

While Mikan is washing, Rito thinks Mikan's words are true, but he now feels embarassed from the view of her chest. Mikan then tells Rito that she was forced to take the initiative because of him slacking off and explains that she came into the bath, so no one else (meaning Momo naturally) will enter and he should be gratefulfor her help.

After getting washed, Mikan enters into the bathtub too, asking Rito to make a little room. Mikan notice its cramped, and Rito says its natural because they're grown up. Mikan then says they changed and takes as example the fact that, in the past, Rito coudn't even talk to girls, but now, he can take a bath with Momo. Mikan comments how everything had changed since Lala's arrival, and Rito admits that stuff happened.

Mikan then asks Rito how is his relation with Haruna going, but he, surprised from the question, blushes and asks why this question. Mikan explains she is just curious, and asks Rito if there any kind of progress since Haruna teached him to cook previously. Rito tells her they just talked and don't mention the embarassing incident happened. So, Mikan asks about Yui, suggesting Rito to invite her to a cat cafe or anything. Rito gets surprised and doesn't understand why Yui should accept. Mikan then sighs and, calling him hopeless, tells Rito to have pay more attention to the girls that are around him because it's troublesome even for them.

Ironically, Mikan says if perhaps he is planning to create an harem, and Rito, remembering when Momo talked him about Harem Plan the first time, stands up from the bathtub and tells embarassed that he never creates harem. Because Rito is accidentally giving her a face view of his penis, Mikan gets shocked and asks him for which reason he stood up and if there is something he know about. Rito, after covedered his zone with hands, tries to leave and runs while saying that he has to leave. But outside the bath, he met Momo whom was slobbering this situation and, apologizing to meddle, runs away.

Mikan is happy that her plan worked, but Rito says that was probably Momo's intention from the beginning to get them bathing together. Surpised and embarrased that she's been tricked, Mikan yells Momo'z name while, outside, Momo comments about siblings get along are the best.
