This happened a while after I, Kou Shuurei, became a concubine of Saiunkoku's emperor, Shi Ryuuki, for money.

Ryuuki: A trip to the hot springs?
Shou: Yes. Shuurei-dono has pretty much adapted to palace life. Let's have this trip to deepen the feelings between the two of you, how's that?
Ryuuki: Deepen feelings?
Shou: You've yet to share a bed with Shuurei-dono, have you Ryuuki-sama?
Ryuuki: Erk...
Shou: That's why we need the hot springs. A digress from what we are used to...Shuurei-dono relaxed, her clothes relaxed...occasionally revealing some skin, flushed from the heat of the water...
Ryuuki: Revealing...
Shou: And maybe the clothes will just slip off...
Ryuuki: Slip off...
Shou: How's that?
Ryuuki: Uh, sounds like a pretty good idea, Shou Taishi. You stupid old man- ah no, I mean, perverted old man~~
Shou: I haven't lived this long for nothing.
(laughs)
Ryuuki: Start the preparations now! This is an emergency!!

--

Shuurei: Kourin, a trip to the hot springs is...?
Kourin: An idea that His Majesty came up with, being concerned over Shuurei-sama's fatigue from not being able to adapt to palace life.
Shuurei: Ryuuki?
Kourin: Ah, His Majesty is so gentle. Shuurei-sama must be very happy.
Shuurei: I guess so.
Kourin: Of course, Kourin will tag along too.

--

Ryuuki: Is everybody here? I shall take a roll call now!
Shuuei: How energetic.
Kouyuu: His immoral motivations can't get anymore obvious than this.
Ryuuki: Shou-taishi, Sou-taifu, Sa-taiho!
Shou: Here.
Sou: Uh.
Sa: Here, here.
Ryuuki: Shuuei! Kouyuu!
Kouyuu: YOU CAN JUST SEE FOR YOURSELF, CAN'T YOU?
Shuuei: Oh come on, don't say that.
Ryuuki: Shuu~Rei~
Shuurei: Present.
Ryuuki: Kourin.
Kourin: I'm here.
Ryuuki: Now that everybody's here, let's set off!

So we set off for the hot springs that's located close to the capital. At that moment, none of us expected for this supposedly-happy trip to end up like that...

--

Ryuuki: Nice water.
Shou: I've revived! It's seeping into these pained old bones.
Sa: This is too hedonistic for a pile of old bones like me.
Kouyuu: To spend occasionally spend some time at the hot springs like this is a pretty good idea.
Shuuei: It'll be better if it's a mixed bath, right Your Majesty?
Ryuuki: Oh yes, to rub each other's backs with Shuurei...
Shou: O-yah, O-yah, how passionate.
(laughs)

Shuurei: It's pretty active, where the male bath is.
Kourin: It's good that everybody can finally relax a little. Oh yes, Shuurei-sama, there's a private bath here.
Shuurei: Hm?
Kourin: Why not you go there with Ryuuki-sama later?
Shuurei: To bath with Ryuuki? No, no way!
Kourin: Ah, shy?
Shuurei: Not shy.
Kourin: But it must be great to be able to bath together...Kourin will like to help him scrub his back...
Shuurei: Kourin?
Kourin: Ah, nothing.
Shuurei: Really?

Shou: Bottoms up, Enju.
Sa: Yes. This is good. Now I can go with no regrets.
Shou: What are you talking about? There won't be any more enjoyment if you don't live on.
Sa: Fill me another cup.
Shou: Oh, you like this, Enju?
Sa: To enjoy wine with friends...it will naturally taste better. Oh, where did Ryuuki-sama go?
Shuuei: His Majesty is washing himself there. I think he wants to get himself clean before spending the night with Shuurei-sama.
Kouyuu: Hn, to go to that extent for a woman. How shameful!
Shuuei: Haha.
Ryuuki: (singing) Elbows scrub scrub~~ Tummy scrub scrub~~ Legs scrub scrub~~
Sou: As Shuurei-sama's replacement, let me scrub your back for you.
Ryuuki: Ah, no, it's fine, General Sou...
Sou: Don't get polite with me. Come, sit down.
Ryuuki: Okay.
Sou: Alright! Here we go!! Hn, hn...
Ryuuki: Woah, ah! OUCH OUCH OUCH!!!! Take it easy!!
Sou: Hahaha, to feel pain at this...looks like Ryuuki-sama needs a little more training.
Ryuuki: Training?
Sou: Yes, look! Look at these beautiful muscles! The hill-like biceps!! These tree-like thighs!! Stone-like abs!! And chest muscles, hamstrings!! We also have this interestingly named muscle known as...

(Translator's Note: He named a hell lot of muscles that I didn't catch...so I'm just guessing. If I made any mistakes, please feel free to correct me.)

Ryuuki: General Sou...this is enough, enough.
Sou: No way! Good! Let's start the training now!
Ryuuki: What's so good about that...
Sou: Come, stand up, stand up!
Shuuei: Here we go again.
Kouyuu: Just let them be, and keep our distance.
Sa: Drink up, drink up!
Shou: Ah...nice~
Ryuuki: Even if you say to train now...what can we do naked?

(Translator's Note: COUGHS! I thought YOU of all people should know what you can do naked.)

Sou: Naked...well, just the right time to try this sport called Sumo from an Eastern island state.
Ryuuki: Sumo?
Sou: Yes, to fight naked.
Ryuuki: This Eastern island has pretty strange martial arts.
Sou: Just do as I do. Stand facing me, spread your legs, and fist your hands.
Ryuuki: Do we have to do this naked? I'm feeling a little shy...
Shuuei: His Majesty and Sou-taifu...what are you doing with just a piece of loincloth on?
Kouyuu: How daring.
Sou: Then slam against each other with a battle cry!!
Ryuuki: Slam together?
Sou: Yes, and then you struggle. The one who touches ground first loses. Now we start.
Ryuuki: Ah, I see! WAIT! I'm here to deepen the feelings between Shuurei and I, not to train up...
Sou: (battle cry)!!!
Ryuuki: Ah~~~ (SPLASH)
Sou: Not an opponent at all. How disappointing.
Ryuuki: Can anybody in the entire Saiunkoku beat General Sou? Even the generals of the Imperial Guard, Haku Raien and Koku Yousei can't win against you.
Sou: Well, that's true. It's unfair to fight against me right from the start. Alright, General Ran!!
Shuuei: Ah? Me?
Sou: Is there another General Ran around? You'll be his opponent, this is an order.
Shuuei: I guess I have no choice.
Sou: Alright, on your march.
Ryuuki/Shuuei: (battle cry)!!!
Ryuuki: Ah~~~ (SPLASH)
Sou: Next, Kouyuu!
Kouyuu: Ah, I- No, me??
Sou: This is an order, order!
Kouyuu: But I can't compete with His Majesty when it comes to physical strength.
Shuuei: Kouyuu, lean your ear closer. (whisper, whisper)
Kouyuu: Oh, I see. There's always that...
Sou: What are you dilly-dallying on about?! Hurry!
Kouyuu: Well then, I don't have a choice but be his opponent.
Ryuuki: If I'm fighting against Kouyuu then I can win~
Kouyuu: Fufufu...if you think you can beat me that easily, you're wrong.
Ryuuki: Ah?
Sou: Right, on your march.
Ryuuki/Kouyuu: (battle cry)!!
Shuuei: Oh, they're struggling against each other. Pretty even match.
Kouyuu: Frankly, in a physical match, I can't beat His Majesty's strength. So then!
Shuuei: Kouyuu threw himself forward!
Kouyuu: Your Majesty~~
Ryuuki: Erk! Don't whisper at my ears!!
Kouyuu: Your skin is like silk...oh, nice and smooth~~
Ryuuki: WHERE ARE YOU TOUCHING?! EEEWWWWW, KOU-YUU!!
Kouyuu: There's an opening!
Ryuuki: Ah! OUCH, Kouyuu, that's cheating!
Kouyuu: Brain work, brain work...if you can't beat them in strength, you use your brains. Well done, Shuuei. Your plan worked.
Shuuei: Nice.
Ryuuki: Sobs, I've lost even to Kouyuu...and next up~
Shou: Eh, Ryuuki-sama is looking at us.
Sa: Oh dear.
Ryuuki: Shou-taishi, Sa-taiho! Let's settle this fight!
Kouyuu: What's with that attitude?
Ryuuki: Oh shut up! I don't like to lose every time!
Ryuuki/Shou: (battle cry)!!
Ryuuki: Ah, Shou-taishi, what did you just do?
Shou: Ryuuki-sama tripped and fell on your own. Oh dear, how dangerous.
Kouyuu: It looks like His Majesty was deflected off even before he touched Shou-taishi. Defeated by an invisible force.
Shuuei: Are you seeing things?
ShouRyuuki/Sa: (battle cry)!!
Ryuuki: Ow ow ow!! What's this, Sa-taiho! It's cheating to pull at my legs!
Sa: Hohoho, it's an old man's wisdom.
Ryuuki: Sobs...defeated by all. If I can't win at sumo, is there something else that I can win at...oh yes! I have something that none of you can match up!
Kouyuu: No, nobody's trying to compete.
Shuuei: Try saying it?
Ryuuki: LOVE!
Everybody: Love?
Ryuuki: Yes! My love for Shuurei~! None of you can ever beat that!
Sou: Haha.
Ryuuki: Sou-taifu? General Sou?
Sou: Brat, you are a hundred years too early to think about winning with love!
Ryuuki: What?
Shou: Ryuuki-sama, don't you know about what Sou said to his wife at their first meeting?
Ryuuki: What?
Sa: That's pretty legendary, those words.
Ryuuki: What are they?
Sou: Listen up!
Ryuuki: Uh...
Sou: "I'm off to defeat evil dojos! Come with me!!"
Shou: And during the honeymoon...
Sou: An exploration of all the battlefields in Saiunkoku!
Ryuuki: I've lost.
Kouyuu: HOW'S THIS A LOSS??!!
Shuuei: "Lost"?
Ryuuki: I don't have enough practice...
3 Elders: (laughs)

Shuurei: I'm full, I'm full!
Kourin: Delicious~
Shuurei: Is it good to enjoy life this much?
Kourin: Well, to do this occasionally can't hurt.
Ryuuki: SHUUREI!
Shuurei: Ryuuki?
Ryuuki: Sorry!!
Shuurei: What's wrong?
Ryuuki: I've lost! Lost~~~(sobs)
Shuurei: This is unusual. What happened? Tell me.
Ryuuki: Yeah. Sou-taifu says we need to train up our bodies, so he taught me how to do sumo.
Shuurei: Sumo?
Ryuuki: A form of martial arts from an Eastern island state.
Shuurei: Haven't seen or heard of it.
Ryuuki: Oh, it goes like this...(strips)
Shuurei: WHY ARE YOU REMOVING YOUR CLOTHES?!
Kourin: AH!
Ryuuki: I have to get naked! The opponent too! Shuurei, take it off too! I'll tell you what sumo is.
Shuurei: IDIOT!! WHO'S TAKING ANYTHING OFF?!
Kourin: Shuurei-sama, I think it's better for me to leave?
Shuurei: Kourin, don't worry yourself over strange things like these.
Ryuuki: Don't struggle!
Shuurei: HELL IF I DON'T!
Kourin: Ryuuki-sama! Don't be too rash. Everything must have a sequence.
Ryuuki: Sequentially speaking, in order to explain what sumo is, you must take off your clothes. Come, take it off, take if off!
Shuurei: GET A HOLD OF YOURSELF, YOU RETARD!! (WHACKS)
Ryuuki: Why~~ Why did you hit me~~~
Shuurei: DON'T ASK WHY! What's WRONG with your brain?
Kourin: What a loving relationship...
Shuurei: HOW SO?

--

Shuuei: There, Kouyuu. Do you think His Majesty and Shuurei-sama managed to deepen their relationship in this trip?
Kouyuu: No way.
Sa: No way.
Shou: Looks like it.
Sou: Shou, you didn't come up with this entire idea just for the old geezers to rest, did you?
Shou: Well, who knows?
Sa: Mean...
Shou: Ah well...
Shuuei: Let's not care about His Majesty for now.
Kouyuu: Don't waste the chance! Eat up! Drink up!
Sa: Ah, this is a delicacy.
Shou: The dried plums too...

With this, the night of the hot springs passed happily.

--

Final note: Ryuuki killed me with his enthusiasm at stripping. Kouyuu's "seductive bedroom voice" KEEL ME DED.
