I hoped I wouldn't have to result to uploading game screenshots, but there doesn't seem to be any other way to obtain this art as the current onsen assets are censored versions, and this art is too good to pass up. At least the screenshots are fairly clean.
I'm pretty sure there is, or at least was, a link to the assets on reddit community for the game. Does it not contain the uncensored versions?

Most of the APKs are under 100 MB, meaning the assets would have been downloaded from the servers. And the specific app that included the uncensored versions seems to have been shut down (comment #2534815). There are other apps (as in separate apps that use the same assets, not different versions of the same app) that actually include the assets in an XAPK, but it only contains the censored versions.
I'm not surprised the uncensored versions weren't in there. It's not unusual for developers to replace the original art with the new art completely. I remember seeing a character in a game from another franchise that was completely redesigned and I couldn't find the original art anywhere in the assets.
Do you remember exactly where you saw the link to the asset dump? If the dump occurred before October 31, 2021 and the link is somehow still active, then it might be possible to get the uncensored versions from it.
Edit: Is this the link you were talking about? It has uncensored versions labeled as "pre-release," but they're still screenshots. At least I have a resource for the characters' names now.

No, I meant this google drive, but from a brief look there seems to be no onsen images :(

That's strange. Are those really from the same game? Some of the artwork looks quite a bit different than what I was able to find (at least the ones I can actually see; a lot of them seem to be corrupted and I don't think they can be fixed). But thanks for trying to help.

Alright, I did some digging and turns out that I confused 2 games that have extremely similar names. Turns out there is both Rise, aka the current shield hero game, and *ReRise*, the game that appeared before it.
From it's QooApp page it seemed to be another run-of-the-mill portrait-mode idle game, and it closed somewhere in 2023.
So you're the one that organized it? I saw your archive a few days ago. It was shared in comment #2538690.
Your archive definitely helped with the names for the non-canon characters, but I'll probably be using the older archive for the actual assets (the ones I don't already have, at least) since they're more likely to be unaltered.
(Also Softtie (the ram) is male (judging by the Gelbooru fork you might've tagged them as female))
Good catch. I didn't question the idea of him being a girl since he had pre-release art. I even tagged him as a loli. The tags should be correct now.
