Hey, what do you wanna do today?!

Sing, like we always do.

I'd rather not start getting all rusty.

Wait, again?

I get that you wanna stay on top of your game, but we sing all the time. Don't you feel like doing something else?

Huh...?

What's wrong, Azusawa?

Did you hear that voice just now?

I thought I heard someone sobbing...

Sobbing?

...!

I think I just heard it.

But who would even be sobbing?

If it's not Miku or one of the others, it might be a ghost.

What?!

For now, let's head over towards where the voice is coming from.

Okay, I think it came from that way!

Hurry, or we're gonna leave you behind.

Wh-What?! Wait for me!

*Sob*

S-So much pain...

Huh?! N-No!

Someone really is sobbing!

Down this alley...?

Th-There...!

Rin! Len!

What are you two doing on the ground?!

I have no idea, but we need to help them.

*Sob*

No, you guys...

Don't come any closer...

And whatever you do... Don't touch us...

Wh-Wh-Wh-What...?!

We're not allowed to come over or touch you guys?! What's going on?!

The pain...

Wh-What pain...?!

Wait, did you guys get cursed by something...?

My muscles... The pain...

Huh...?

D-Do your muscles hurt?

Yesterday, we tried doing some of the exercises that Akito and his team did while they trained...

They were really hard, but we did our best. Unfortunately... Oww... We're sore everywhere now...

Oh, you guys are just sore...

You had us going there for a second.

Yeah, seriously!

I totally thought you two got cursed or something!

Umm... What should we do? We can't just leave them like this.

Having them rest at MEIKO's cafe seems ideal, but whether or not they can make it over will be up to them.

Right...

What would you two like us to do?

Take us to the cafe...

Alright, fine.

Come on—

Owwwww! Wait! Stop!

You need to be more gentle! Ahhh!

You guys must be super sore...

Okay, we'll be really gentle...

Owwww! D-Don't touch me there!

Uhh... Then, how about here?

Owww! N-Not there either!

Oh, I'm sorry!

There, there. No more touching.

*Cry*

Carrying them in this state isn't going to be easy.

What should we do?

Helping♪ Helping♪ I'm such a nice person♪ Delicious dessert and all the parfaits I want♪

Oh, Luka's pushing a dolly.

We can use that!

Luka, stop! Please come help us!

Hello!

We have a delivery for you, MEIKO!

Along with Rin and Len♪

But they're apparently sore all over...

Okay...

I get the gist of what happened.

Thank you all for bringing them over, An.

You can leave the boxes there.

Okay!

Do you have any drinks that will help us feel less sore, MEIKO?

No, unfortunately...

But I feel like a cold compress would be the better choice.

Haha. You two are really having a bad time...

Come to think of it, Akito, did you or the others not experience this?

Yeah, of course we did.

But we didn't become completely paralyzed like them.

Really? But you train and exercise regularly.

The workouts Haruka comes up with really are terrifying...
