After soaking in the hot spring, no one was willing to get up, not even the President, who gestured to the butler. Soon, servants carried a table into the bath.
"This is specially prepared for doing something inside here, of course, it's also a gift from my grandfather!" The President said with a smile as he sat at the table.
The table was quite large, accommodating up to six to eight people seated around it. It was oval-shaped, and sitting in the bath made it neither too high nor too low—just perfect.
The wooden surface wasn't painted with any lacquer but gave a kind of waterproof greasy feel, the result of using a type of wood-derived oil repeatedly brushed over.
This plant-based oil is harmless to humans, water, and anything else.
Additionally, its hydrophobic and sealing properties ensure the wood won't be damaged by water, preventing rot and decay.
