Hey!
Is this a good time?
I just came by to invite everyone in the Student Council to join me for a trip to a Japanese hot spring over the break...
SHIRLEY
A hot spring?!
MILLY
Say what?
What a nice invitation!
LELOUCH
Ohh,
the one near your parents' house?
That takes me back!
I'll ask Nunnally when I get home.
SFX
<thud, thud>
RIVALZ
Yeah, yeah! I'm totally in!
<spin~>
NINA
A Japanese hot spring...
That's like a spa, right...? But with a cultural aspect Japanese people are fond of?
SUZAKU
Yes, exactly!
I want all of you to get to know more of the nice things about Japan!
C.C.
A hot spring...
The meal they serve after you get out of the water is great, too.
LELOUCH
<flipping through...>
Is eating all you can think about?
C.C.
What? No, of course not,
Lelouch.
<hmph!>
C.C.
I also think about pizza.
LELOUCH
<shock—>
Which is something you eat!
Huh~
A hot spring trip, huh? Sounds nice!
SHIRLEY
<gasp>
SHIRLEY
I'm—
I'm going for sure!!
NARRATION
The Day Before Departure
SFX
<shut>
LELOUCH
Hmm...
It's getting close, isn't it.
Mmhmm.
Try not to oversleep tomorrow!
LELOUCH
That's my line!
NUNNALLY
I might be too excited
to sleep tonight!
LELOUCH
Don't worry, Nunnally, I'll—
C.C.
<stepping in front of him>
I'll wake you up!
NUNNALLY
All right!
<pressing up against the glass!>
SUZAKU
Well, we're here!
Ohh!
What an exotic looking town!
SHIRLEY
It really gives you that Japanese-y feel, don't you think?
SUZAKU
The reservations're already taken care of, so
let's go ahead and leave our luggage here.
RIVALZ
<S'cuse us...>
Look after Nunnally for me, all right?
MILLY
Roger that~.
EUPHY
Yes!
SHIRLEY
Yessir!
KALLEN
You can count on us.
C.C.
Sure.
NUNNALLY
Sheesh, Lelouch...
Treating me like a little kid!
Man! I can't wait to get in the hot spring!
C.C.
What,
you like them that much?
KALLEN
Yep.
I'm really looking forward to getting to drink sake in a hot spring someday when I'm grown up.1
EUPHY
Well, that's certainly one way to enjoy a hot spring!
This is gonna be my first time in a Japanese hot spring, so I'm really looking forward to it!
SFX
<excited!>
NINA
M, me too...
NUNNALLY
By the way, Euphy,
did Suzaku ever win Cornelia's approval?
EUPHY
Well, sort of.
EUPHY
But,
she's still kind of a worrywort, so...
Heheh.
Anyway, it's about that time...
C.C.
Wanna join me for a soak?
KALLEN
C'mon!
To the hot spring!
NINA/SHIRLEY/MILLY
Yeah!
NUNNALLY
Oh—
But first...
Mixed Bath
SFX
<shockingly!!>
NINA/SHIRLEY
!!
MILLY
<hohoho>
"Mixed", huh...?
Sounds like fun.
SHIRLEY
D— does this mean...!
KALLEN
Shirley—
You're hurting me...
C.C.
So, that means men and women bathe together, right?
MILLY
<No big! C'mon, let's goooo!>
NINA
<W, wait— Milly...!>
Hey!
Looks like you had the same idea we did!
There's nothing like a hot soak before a meal, right?
Mixed bath...!
<heehee!>
<heheh!>
LELOUCH
What's with you?
RIVALZ
Absolutely nothing!
SHIRLEY
Wha—?
<glance, glance>
Aren't there any other guests?
SUZAKU
Hmm?
Oh, didn't I mention?
Father reserved the whole place for today and tomorrow.
SHIRLEY
H—
Hey, don't stare at me!
RIVALZ
Nobody's looking at you.
LELOUCH
<My old man's a showoff, too.>
Let's get rinsed off first, Nunnally!
SFX
<bounce>
NUNNALLY
!
...
NUNNALLY
...When will I...
grow up the way you all have...?
Well, it helps to eat pizza every day!
<Cheese is a dairy product, after all!>
NUNNALLY
!
KALLEN
That's not how any of this works!
NUNNALLY
So this is the form being motherly takes...1
I'm envious.
RIVALZ
M, motherly...!
LELOUCH
What, you mean like being patient...?2
SUZAKU
What a... Lelouch thing to think of...
LELOUCH
?
Oh, right!
Well, there are simple exercises you can do to help shape your physique...!3
EUPHY
See, like this—
SFX
<startlingly—>
C.C.
!
SFX
<grope...>
C.C.
Hey, cut it out!
That tickles!
NUNNALLY
<Oh—>
<What's this? This looks fun!>
MILLY
Want some love, Nunnally?
Here you go!
NUNNALLY
You and C.C., too...
You're all so impressive...
RIVALZ
<perk>
RIVALZ
(E— Even the Prez?!)
<turning!>
RIVALZ
...Dammit.
I can't see a thing with all this steam!
Hold it!
No messing around in the bath—
Ack?!
SFX
<startlingly—>
C.C.
Do you have to be so uptight all the time...?
<Well, I guess one part's more yielding...>
KALLEN
C.C.—!
And Euphy, too?!
MILLY
Hey, this is how female friendships deepen...!
NINA
Milly, me too?!
KALLEN
Hey, give it a rest!
NUNNALLY
Eep! Sheesh, Euphy!
What's going on over there?
Nunnally, are you all right?!
SFX
<splash, splash>
NUNNALLY
Brother!
We're just having one of those completely honest relationships!4
LELOUCH
Are you?
Are you really...?
I... I'm glad you're having fun...
Hot springs are great~.
KALLEN
Especially after a long journey, just so refreshing~.
GIRLS
Mmm...
EUPHY
Nunnally,
we don't want to get overheated, so shall we get out momentarily?
NUNNALLY
All right.
Eek—!
KALLEN
Be careful!
LELOUCH
What's wrong, Nunnally?!
RIVALZ
Hey, what was that?
SUZAKU
Are you okay?!
<heavy footsteps>
EUPHY
<You're not hurt, are you?>
KALLEN
<Nah, I'm fine>
NUNNALLY
<Thank you for saving me>
C.C.
<gasp>
C.C.
You're worried over nothing.
Turn right around and go back to your side!
<about-face!>
<fluster>
SFX
<shockingly!!>
SHIRLEY
Nina?!
NINA
Oh—...
RIVALZ
Is she okay?!
What...
You're all wearing bathing suits...!
<crushed>
LELOUCH
<We are, too, Rivalz!>
SUZAKU
<He seems disappointed, for some reason...>
RIVALZ
Well, we went in the hot spring, and we had a tasty meal...
What's next?
MILLY
Right...
<hmm>
Anyone have any good ideas?
SUZAKU
Well, I do have—
LELOUCH
—one!
<stepping in>
SFX
<rustle>
LELOUCH
The next exam is coming up soon, right?
So, let's study!
SUZAKU
Huh?
You never change, do you?
Just can't read a room.
LELOUCH
Wh— what room!
You'd better not be thinking of ditching...!
RIVALZ
Hey, now.
RIVALZ
It's been a great trip so far, so why not cap it off with a round of the King's Game?
MILLY
Ooh!
Great idea!
...But, since we've got more women here than men, how about a Queen's Game?
ALL
...Queen's Game?
