(D7 LA closed) Post-Oshidama recovery

[Susumu Sumiko]

Following the unfortunate (and in Sumiko's case painful) loss in the Oshidama, Senshuken had suggested the spa to recover. It was a good idea, and Sumiko had considered saying she would pay for it until she found out how much the day trips were, at which point she knew she'd have to find another way to repay her dear friend.

"Looks like this is a hotel too, didn't consider staying here?" Sumiko asked Senshuken as they entered to pay and go to the changing areas.

[Bayushi Senshuken]

"Don't even remind me of that." She says with a wave of her hand. "My most esteemed mother still has me on a low stipend. She sent me here with like 110 koku." She turns to look at her and pouts playfully. "I'm a poor poor thing. I hope that you still like me."

[Susumu Sumiko]

Sumiko decided not to point out she had not even 10% of that.

"I'm sure I'll find a way to get over it" Sumiko said with a laugh, giving Senshuken a pat on the shoulder "just means we'll have to enjoy these luxuries even more! Shall we go in? I've not even entered this place before, have you tried it?"

[Bayushi Senshuken]

"No, no. It's a first. I've only been to a spa outside the city proper."

She bows gracefully. "After you, Lady Susumu. Lead the way and this one shall follow you to the edge of the world!"

[Susumu Sumiko]

"Oh I heard about the spa outside the city, it's supposed to be an adventure to reach but a beautiful natural spa. Very interesting! I haven't ventured far enough out to find it, what's it like?"

Sumiko chuckled before leading towards the changing area.

"I'm feeling an outdoor onsen to help my muscles recover. Never been much of a massage girl but it changes depending on the person" she winked back at Senshuken "but being off my feet in general sounds wonderful right now. A tiring few hours!"

[Bayushi Senshuken]

"Today was a marvelous day. Full of action, failure and flair! I had a lot of fun." She offers back and follows her foot to the same changing booth.

"This onsen looks better. More luxurious certainly. The other one was... one with the nature, I could say. Different kind of beauty." She looks at her, scanning both face and body. "I very much prefer the beauty right here."

[Susumu Sumiko]

"Senshu-chan looking in a mirror?" Sumiko teased with a grin as she undressed "the natural type of onsen is a unique experience. Everything has been so manufactured, you got to experience it like samurai in olden times did. I'm actually kind of jealous."

She folded up her shirt and pants, then her underwear. She paused after that to not to subtle watch Senshuken get ready as she picked up her own towel.

"I think the Crab could have done a better job with the creature displays in that obstacle course though. Maybe it's the scholar in me but the creature displays were incredibly unrealistic."

[Bayushi Senshuken]

"I'm definitely looking at you right now and rather enjoying the view." She replies and winks as she starts undressing herself and almost making a show out of it.

Her eyes are still on Sumiko. "Honestly speaking I'm not sure how they should look like, but that horselike creature at the end, certainly had a kick." Her hand instinctively go to her hurt ribs. "It threw me down like a leaf."

[Susumu Sumiko]

"Look all you want then" Sumiko winked, just holding the towel for a few moments longer to let Senshuken stare before wrapping herself in it.

"Want me to give you a massage later? Assuming the onsen doesn't sort that out. At least it was unintentional from that thing, I swear the Crab on the Oshidama event was aiming for my face and just hit me somewhere lower" she rubbed her stomach "I couldn't even stay on my feet with the force of it! Shall we go to the water?"

[Bayushi Senshuken]

"I do want a massage even if the onsen sorts it out." She winks and gestures to her to walk ahead. "Do you want a billion kisses on your belly to help you forget the scary Crab?"

"Last time our matvh went better, but okay. It was still fun, at least. Did you have aaaany fun? If not, I have to focus all my plans on making this your best day in this world so far."

[Susumu Sumiko]

"One post-onsen massage booked in" Sumiko said with a grin, starting to walk towards the outdoor onsen. Pausing when she noticed where the showers were and going there to wash first.

"I'll accept the kisses but be gentle, there is a bruise from how hard they hit the ball. They were much...rougher here than on the World of Dreams. I still enjoyed it though, I got to get sweaty on the beach with you what's not to enjoy? I should be the one spoiling you as well, as I owe you for the drone training."

[Bayushi Senshuken]

"I am always gentle, you know that." She follows her for a shower.

"We have a deal, honey. I'll pamper you and you'll pamper me back. It has been a long day and we both need it. And tomorrow.... Tomorrow is the rally day. I need to be at my best."

[Susumu Sumiko]

"I'm always happy to pamper you Senshu-chan" Sumiko said with a wink as she washed herself, going silent for a few moments as she went under the shower before speakimg again.

"I did hear about the rally. What's the plan? Embarrass the locals on their own turf, steal the prize, kiss the girl and vanish off into the sunset?"

[Bayushi Senshuken]

"That's so cinematic. So me!" She chuckles while enjoying the water on her body after a hot day at the beach with closed eyes. "I have no plans really. How would you like to see me? Remember that clothes are a must in public. That's the only restriction."

[Susumu Sumiko]

"Clothes are a must huh? How many layers is appropriate" Sumiko teased as she moved behind Senshuken and put her hands on the girls shoulders, massaging them gently.

"Well I've seen you in many different ways Senshu-chan but I do like when you're in full driver mode. Watching you race is quite exciting."

[Bayushi Senshuken]

The Scorpion melts into the massage touches, all the tension she didn't even know she had seems to be leaving her body.

"We should take a long ride to the unknown before we leave this island. Just you, me, the bike and absolute freedom."

[Susumu Sumiko]

"That sounds like fun" Sumiko agreed with a smile as she moved her hands along the girls back "could bring some food and have a picnic out in the wilds. Just us the views and freedom. I'd really enjoy that."

[Bayushi Senshuken]

"And very few layers of clothing." She closes her eyes and continues. "Let's have a rule. Not less than one, not more than two. I will probably ditch the underwear. For extra freedom of course. I am not trying to seduce you, Mrs Susumu."

[Susumu Sumiko]

"You're not very convincing" Sumiko chuckled "so if I wear just my swimsuit and a t-shirt that meets requirements? As swimsuits are appropriate attire of course!"

She moved back to the girls shoulders, giving them one final squeeze before saying "ok let's get in the water now."

[Bayushi Senshuken]

"Awwww. I feel ditched to say the least!" She complains playfully and follows her foot.

The onsen is truly a marvel of luxury, esthetics and comfort. Before long Senshuken finds herself inside the hot water. "Kami, I feel so tired, Sumiko chan." She closes her eyes. "Tell me your news, please. Distract me from work." She takes a peek towards her and grins. "Pleaaaaase?!"
