You lost your glasses?
Yes. I got out of the onsen and put on my yukata robe. When I was going to dry my hair, I noticed my glasses were gone.
Are you sure they're not in your room?
I already checked, and they are not there. I looked in my bag, too. I never go anywhere without my glasses. I only take them off when I take a bath and when I go to bed.
I see. I’m afraid I have not heard about anyone finding glasses today.
Oh… That’s too bad.
So.. what do your galasses look like?
They are very normal-looking. They have black frames. Don't you think it's strange that only my glasses are gone? My galasses are very strong. Or maybe the person who took them has bad eyes, too.
Well, we are a ryokan. Many strange things happen in a place with so many people.
Strange things? Like what?
Someone might put on another person’s underwear by mistake.
Underwear? That happens?
Yes. It has happened a few times.
So maybe someone took my glasses by mistake.
One of our staff will look for them in the changing room. Glasses are small, so they may be under a towel or behind a basket.
That’s possible.
Hello? Could you look for a pair of glasses with black frames in the men’s changing room?
Thank you. please wait while they search for your glasses, sir.
Okay.
Excuse me.
Hello, young man. May I help you?
My dad’s yukata is gone. He has no clothes. He can't go back to our room.
His yukata is gone?
His underwear is gone, too. So he told me to come here and tell you.
Oh, no. Don't worry. We’ll find them.
Something else is missing? This is a big problem. First, my glasses, then, his father’s clothes? Someone is taking things and having fun watching people get angry.
I don't think so, sir.
What are you talking about? We have to solve this mystery. I’m sure someone is playing a trick on us.
Sir, could you check your underwear?
Huh? My underwear? Are you saying that I made a mistake? I can't believe… Hey. You know, this underwear is a little small.
Front desk. Yes? You found a pair of black-framed glasses? They were in a basket with a yukata and some underwear?
Glasses? Yukata?
Ah, I think I know what happened.
What? My clothes are still in the changing room?
Did you make a mistake and wear my dad’s clothes?
Yes. It looks like it.
You should be more careful.
I didn’t have my glasses on, so I couldn’t see.
Oh, umm. I’m sorry.
