"I hold that mock race so my trainees can see what they are lacking, you know? They couldn't do that if you were several lengths ahead of them."
"I couldn't help it. You were flaunting something amazing, dear."
As promised before the mock race, the winner will get to spend a private onsen holiday with Igo Heita while the rest choke on Kale juice. It was an entire ordeal to force Narita Brian to drink the Kale juice, but with the help of her ginormous-headed big sister, they somehow managed to drown her in the green liquid. The Monster is now riding on the back of the ambulance to the nearest hospital.
"Urara couldn't even compete at all, you know? Do you have no human heart?"
"No, because I'm an umamusume. I only have an umamusume's heart."
"Then umamusume is more barbaric than human."
"Welcome to our hot spring inn. May I know your name?"
The couple arrives at the hot spring inn in the middle of the day. While the rest of the academy is on their way back to Tracen, this lovely couple will be spending one more extra day together.
"I'm Igo Heita, and I won these tickets."
"Thank you for your patronage. Please let me check the eligibility of these tickets first… Hmm… Hmm… Yes, these are real. Would you like to book a specific room?"
"Do you have a room for newlyweds?"
"Akh…"
Symboli Rudolf couldn't believe what her husband was suggesting. She knew what kind of man he was, but he still somehow managed to surprise her every chance he got.
"Okay. We certainly have one of those. You may use room sixty-nine."
"Alright, thank you very much."
The young man casually grabs his wife's hand and walks down the hallway toward the specific room. The wife tries her best to stay calm, but the redtint on her cheeks reveals what is truly underneath.
Sigh… He most likely just said that to tease me without actually wanting to progress our relationship. That's just the kind of man he is.
The couple arrives at their room, and they are greeted with a sight when they open the door.
The honeymoon suite was designed to celebrate the intimacy of the newlyweds. A spacious king-size bed dominated the room, dressed in opulent linen sheets and piled with plush pillows that promised endless comfort. Scattered across the immaculate white duvet, crimson rose petals had been carefully arranged into the shape of a heart, adding a romantic flourish to the elegant setting.
Heavy and dark floor-to-ceiling curtains framed the glass doors, their thick fabric shutting out the outside world and cocooning the room in complete privacy. On the roof, soft lights filtered through rose-tinted glass, bathing the suite in a mellow pink glow that lent everything a dreamlike, romantic ambiance.
Though the inn was famous for its hot springs, the suite also featured a private indoor bathroom for convenience. Its most striking feature, however, was the floor-to-ceiling pane of crystal-clear glass 'separating' the bathroom from the bedroom. From the bed, one had an unobstructed view of the shower, transforming an ordinary bath into a shared, flirtatious experience. It was an unmistakable reminder that this suite had been crafted with a honeymoon in mind, where every detail invited closeness, comfort, and quiet moments together.
"Dear… I think we are in over our heads…"
The wife could no longer contain her emotions as her face burned red from embarrassment. She became even more embarrassed once she stepped closer to the bed and noticed the gift in the middle of the heart. Being at the edge of a teenager and young adult, Rudolf has progressed more in her reproductive education. She knows what the red cardboard box on the bed contains.
"Au contraire, Emperor. We win."
The young man strode confidently toward the glass doors at the back of the suite. With a smooth motion, he drew the curtains aside, revealing the secluded sanctuary beyond—a private open-air hot spring.
Five-meter-tall wooden walls enclosed the bathing area, shielding it from the outside world and ensuring that the couple could enjoy their time together in complete privacy. The ground was paved with smooth river stones, recreating the natural charm of an untouched hot spring secluded deep in the mountains.
At the heart of the courtyard lay a steaming stone bath, its crystal-clear water gently falling from a small artificial waterfall and rippling beneath the rising mist. Spacious enough for two, it invited the newlyweds to soak side by side beneath the open sky, offering a tranquil retreat where they could relax, unwind, and savor each other's company in peaceful seclusion. Every detail, from the natural materials to the carefully designed privacy, reflected the suite's purpose as a place for romance and unforgettable moments together.
"See? If we used the normal room, we wouldn't have gotten this private open-air hot spring bath."
"You are a sly man."
"One of my many titles, Rudolf. So how should we spend our time, my wife?"
The wife feels completely exposed under her husband's intense stare. She was undefeated in the racecourse, but she was extremely defetable in the bedroom. Her legs shake, her eyes dart to the corners of the room, and her mind couldn't stop thinking about spicy situations.
"Dear, I understand that you couldn't live without teasing others, but–"
*Pop*
"Do you seriously underestimate just how much I want you, my wife?"
"Huh?!?"
Rudolf couldn't believe her eyes. At one moment, her husband was standing far in front of her, and now, he was standing behind her while grabbing her shoulders. She felt his strong fingers digging into her body, domineering over the so-called Emperor.
"Well then~~ I guess I was being a little bit forceful."
"Eek!!"
"So what do you say if I help your tense body relax, darling? Feel how strained your muscles are."
The young man slid his fingers down the Emperor's arms, squeezing her tense muscles to prove his point. The Emperor's instinct told her to run, but her womanly instinct told her to surrender. The clash of instincts muddied Rudolf's judgement as she stood there while the young man groped her body to his liking.
[Uma-Siren] Level 3 has been activated
"So how about I treat you to a VVIP massage experience, wife? All you need to do is strip down to your underwear and lie on the bed."
With the combined force of the womanly instinct and the [Uma-Siren] skill, the Emperor's instinct was beaten to the curb, tied up with duct tape, poured cement all over her, and then dropped into Tokyo Bay.
"Yes, my darling."
XxX-XxX
"Don't you think it's time for the pout to stop, darling?"
"Mmmhhhh!!!"
Nobody could tell who enjoyed the massage more, but as both of them dived headfirst into their deepest desire, the time passed quickly until the night eventually came.
"Mmmhhh!!!"
"I gave you a safe word, but you never used it. It wasn't my fault."
During the whole play, Rudolf was about to scream the word, but it was as if it was holding for dear life in Rudolf's throat. She felt like she lost control of her body as it continuously rejected the Emperor's order to scream the safe word.
Unbeknownst to her, the young man had been using his [Uma-Siren] skill to prevent her from uttering the word. At one point, the young man even changed the word into something simpler just to boast about how much control he had over her.
"You should be grateful that I didn't suggest putting it in. Imagine just how crazy you would be if–"
*SPLASH* *SPLASH* *SPLASH*
"WAIT!! STOOP!! THAT'S HOT WATER!!"
The private hot spring pool was built to host newlyweds' honeymoon activities, but a fight between the 2 wasn't one of them. With the reddest face, the Emperor splashes her husband with the hot water in an attempt to drown him.
"It's all your fault!!"
"You were the one who didn't say anything!!"
"I don't care!! Take the blame!!"
"Gah!! So much for the Paragon Emperor!!"
*SPLASH* *SPLASH* *SPLASH*
"Alright!! Alright!! It's my fault!!"
"Mmhh!!!"
She really is Teio's father, huh? They both are very much alike.
"Look, the hotel said they'll replace the blanket for free. There's no need to worry about anything."
"I'm not worried!!"
"Then are you embarrassed? I'm the only one who saw and heard you in that state, so what's the worry?"
"You're going to use that as blackmail material!!"
"Well, yeah… That's certain, but that's mainly because you are embarrassed by it. It's a natural reaction after being bombarded by sexual stimulation, Rudolf. I would do it too if I was in your position."
"GUUUHHH!!! Hate you!! You're a meanie!!!"
She is basically Teio at this point.
"Huumph… This is supposed to be a relaxing vacation, you know?"
"It is!! Look at how tender your muscles are now after you let it all out!!"
"Don't say it like that!!! Mooohh!!! It's so embarrassing!! Sigh… I now understand Teio and McQueen's frustration about you."
The Emperor finally calmed down and leaned on her husband. They were supposed to be like this from the very beginning, but the lingering embarrassment prevented them.
"I'm only trying my best to help my wife. Am I in the wrong for caring for you?"
"Sigh… How do you manage to turn this so that I would be the bad guy? You really are special. If you don't change to be a better person, I will kiss you in front of the entire Tracen Academy, you know?"
"I will propose to you then."
"Don't threaten me with a good time."
The sexual tension between the newlyweds was palpable. The distance between them did not help to increase the thickness of the air.
"But if you want to propose to me, you have to bare everything to me. No secrets between us."
"How more bare can I be than now, my wife?"
The young man grabs his wife's hand and guides it between his legs. Rudolf has suspected that he might be hung from how horny he is, but she underestimates him.
Something so big must produce so many hormones that it constantly hijacks his mind to become a horny beast. I couldn't imagine having to live with such powerful driving hormones.
"Liking what you feel, Emperor? How about I teach you something new tonight?"
"..."
The Emperor's instinct is still in the depth of the Tokyo Bay, so there's absolutely no one in her mind that would stop her. She would be screaming yes, if only it wasn't for a flash of memory after pretending to be a family once again with Igo Heita.
That day… I couldn't do anything to help you because I don't know what you've been through.
I don't want to feel useless like that ever again, so I want to understand you more for our future together.
"I will do anything you ask of me, but in return, please tell me what happened between you and your parents in the other world."
