Senpai and Kouhai-chan go to a hot spring hotel for their company retreat. They share fun and intimacy during table tennis, in the spa, and in massage chairs.

Part 9

Hmm.

Being naked in public is a liberating feeling. Tawawa on Monday showcased that experience when Senpai and Kouhai-chan’s company retreat went to a hot spring inn. While the pair didn’t share the same open-air bath (a fence separated the men and women’s sides), the hot water and bare skin let Kouhai-chan share personal feelings with her mentor. These two don’t often get that chance. Because whenever they spend private time together, Kouhai-chan drinks too much and falls asleep. Senpai is too conscious of his position as the senior colleague to try anything when she’s vulnerable like that. But the temptation is strong!

Before Kouhai-chan succumbed to the double-whammy of cold beer and a massage chair after a hot soak, she thanked Senpai for teaching her how to think like a businessperson. The example she gave was the wisdom of taking advantage of the onsen baths late at night! The corporations in Tawawa on Monday have their priorities straight. As confirmation, two older executives passed by Senpai on their way to a late-night session of baths and beer. Senpai and Kouhai-chan’s instincts show they are on the managerial track for their company.

The two senior execs also had tons of experience when it came to the table tennis tournament. They already knew who would win the doubles and the singles. Senpai may have the skills to carry Kouhai-chan in doubles play but Senpai has defensive disadvantages in an individual match of onsen table tennis against her because Kouhai-chan has two massive advantages against Senpai’s male gaze. Her overwhelming victory was never in doubt, thanks to the loose-fitting robes of a hot spring hotel. Tawawa on Monday made up for teasing us with the promise of hotel room fanservice from Kouhai-chan in the third episode. Massage chair moaning is the best!

Heh.

It’s come to this. Kouhai-chan versus Senpai in the onsen table tennis tournament. Let’s get it on! Fun. Their company is on retreat at a hot spring inn in Tawawa on Monday. The pair already won the doubles tournament, and they’ve made it to the finals in the singles tournament. The elders know who will win. Kouhai-chan’s volleyballs will distract Senpai! When you’re right, you’re right. Brutal and outright victory for Kouhai-chan! I wonder what the prize was.

Senpai knows the best time to have a private soak in the onsen is in the middle of the night. Hey, so does Kouhai-chan! Aw. They’re just going to talk through the fence. Nice. Naked talk in the bath is still fanservice when Kouhai-chan is on the scene. She claims that she’s starting to think as Senpai does, and other managers have noticed too. They consider this a positive sign of development, but Senpai isn’t so sure.

And then Kouhai-chan does her trick of saying something easy to misconstrue. She wants to spend more time with Senpai after their intimate discussion in the bath. Will Tawawa on Monday advance their relationship beyond coworkers? No. She meant having a beer and a massage chair! Dude, I wish I had a vending machine full of cold beer. Now more things come out of Kouhai-chan’s mouth that people can misinterpret. Senpai knows what her desperate moaning sounds like now. Take notes, Senpai! Haha. Two veteran employees also wanted to lounge in the bath and have a beer. Hide Kouhai-chan before they get the wrong idea! This young lady counts on Senpai too much. She also likes Senpai carrying her around. That’s all.

Oh, dear. Kouhai-chan struck again on the bus ride back. Their colleagues think they entered the bath together last night. It wasn’t like that!

Yom, Kiseki Himura’s frequent collaborator, illustrates Kouhai-chan enjoying too many of Doukichan’s favorite Ganbare Tanuki Beer.
