This is a story about Guan Yu, Xu Huang, and Zhang Liao having fun at a hot spring. Don’t worry if you can’t read the dialogue—just enjoy the illustrations! I just wanted to draw some muscles myself, so… there isn’t really a story.

Also, I wanted to test how much nudity Tumblr allows.

It’s a bit hard to read, but here’s the synopsis.

[Synopsis]

Xu Huang and Zhang Liao discover a hot spring and rush in, each trying to get there first. Guan Yu, now soaking wet, scolds the two for their reckless behavior. Guan Yu’s lecture doesn’t seem to have made an impression on them. On the contrary, they’re plotting how to get this man naked.

After being ambushed by the two, Guan Yu gives up and steps into the hot spring. He feels a little down and thinks of his brothers. Zhang Liao is disappointed by Guan Yu’s attitude, as it’s a far cry from the image of Guan Yu he had idealized. Zhang Liao reminisces about the past. Remembering how desperate Guan Yu had been back then, he thinks, “He had such a handsome face…”

While the two were arguing, Xu Huang spotted a panda. He seemed captivated by this adorable animal. Guan Yu suggested to Xu Huang, “Why don’t you present that panda to Cao Cao?” Xu Huang refused, and Zhang Liao agreed. “It should be returned to the forest,” Zhang Liao insists. With a heavy heart, Xu Huang declares, “I’ll take this little one back to the forest!” and walks away.

Zhang Liao felt a twinge of regret. He had wanted to hug the panda. Meanwhile, Guan Yu was disappointed to have let the panda go. Zhang Liao snapped at him again. “You’re being defiant for once,” Guan Yu remarked, and Zhang Liao flew into a rage. “I don’t recall ever being obedient to you!” Blood rushed to Zhang Liao’s head, and he collapsed.
