Here we are! Nonogi Park♪
Alright, to make sure Shibao gets to have his fill of fun with Samo and Minori next week, we gotta play... I mean, exercise to get his body loose.
Woof!
I definitely just heard you say, “Play”...
Hehe. That's actually completely fine.
He gets bored of simple exercises really easily.
But we need to start doing more in order to get his weight under control.
Right.
Anyway, let's call Rin and the others over.
Okay.
Thank you all for your patience.
<Yes, finally♪>
<So, what kinds of activities are we doing today?>
Our first activity will be red light, green light!
So we are playing games.
Does this really count as exercising?
Heh heh heh.
This is just a warm-up.
I even came up with some special rules♪
Shibao's gonna form a pair with someone new each time, and...
<Green light... Red light!>
Shibao, stay!
?
Pant...! Pant...!
Huh?! N-No, you need to stay down or...!
<You're out, Ichika!>
<Keep it up, Saki!
Shiho and Shibao are right behind you!>
We've got this, Shibao!
<You guys are almost at Saki!>
Woof!
No, you guys got me...!
Phew...
It's been so long since I last played cops and robbers.
That ended up being a pretty intense game.
Yeah. Good work out there, Shibao.
Pant... Pant... Woof!
<Haha. Look at his tail. He seems so happy.>
Oh, let's switch up the teams and play again! I wanna be with Shibao this time♪
Alright, relax.
Saki said she wants to be on your team, Shibao.
Woof...
Hm? Shibao...?
<Oh, he lied down. Does this mean he's tired?>
Umm... I think that's part of it, but I'm pretty sure this means he's bored...
<What?! But he looked like he was having so much fun! His tail was wagging nonstop!>
Then, instead of cops and robbers, let's play with this ball.
Alright, Shibao, let's play fetch!
Go get it!
...
<Umm...
He definitely just saw you throw the ball...>
<And he just watched it fly away.>
Shibao...
Everyone agreed to gather here today just for you.
This is your favorite ball, isn't it?
...
Haha. He looked the other way.
To be fair, that's probably to be expected since I've heard that Shibas like to do things at their own pace.
They're apparently stubborn too, so I have a feeling that...
Right...
He isn't going to move until I say, “Let's go home.”
...!
Woof!
Oh...
His ears perked up when you said that.
Oh, Shibao.
We're trying to get your weight under control, remember?
...
Wait, why'd you sit down?
Please, stand up...!
...!
<He seems very resistant...>
Oh, I've seen this before!
It's how Shibas say, “No!”
<Haha! He's not budging at all! And the way you're tugging is making his face scrunch up!>
Yeah.
That's really cute...
Shiho...
Shibao, please...!
