Oh...

Oh, Shinonome, good morning!

Good morning.

Alright, we're all here. We'll start our morning practice once we've warmed up.

Okay!

Okay.

Kohane, let's do some stretches together!

Sure!

Akito, mind if I take a moment before we start stretching? I'd like to drink that thing.

Yeah, same here.

Oh, you guys brought more energy jelly today? It's like everyone's drinking that stuff now.

They make for ideal breakfast substitutes because they go down smoothly even when it's warm out.

Wait, this is really your breakfast?

Yes. My mom's been busy and has been coming home very late recently, so I'd rather not ask her to do more by waking up early to make some for me.

Oh, I know what you mean.

You want her to rest since she's probably really tired.

Hang on...

Kohane, did you not have any breakfast today?!

No, I did. I asked my parents to buy bread and jam for me, so I had some of that today.

I suppose I could do the same.

Spreading jam over bread seems simple enough.

What about you, Akito?

I figured you had a full meal before coming here.

I took a quick look what was in the fridge and fixed myself a light breakfast.

Wow, you can make your own food?

Just fried eggs and salads mostly.

Oh, and some bread to go along with that.

Yeah, that is pretty light.

I tend to want to eat a lot since I feel like I need to in order to get my voice going.

You eat a lot regardless of the time of day. Morning, noon or night.

Har har. Joke's on you. I work it all off throughout the day by singing!

(But the part about eating a lot...)

(She didn't deny that fact...)

Still... It's important to eat three meals per day! I'm sure it's good for your health!

Exactly! See, Kohane gets it!

No, I sorta get it too.

I used to eat a ton before I started going out for runs.

Wait, you run?

That's news to me too.

When did this happen?

Pretty recently.

I have to work harder than anyone else...

That's why I decided that I'm gonna do everything I absolutely can.

Akito...

Don't give me that look. I promise not to go overboard.

But I'm having a hard time finding the time to actually go for runs, so I've decided to get off two stations early and run the rest of the way to morning practices.

T-Two-stations?!

Yeah. That's why I have a light breakfast, which is why I need this energy jelly to hold me over until lunch.

I see.

Everything you can, huh?

Hm? What?

Oh, nothing. You're just as self-disciplined as ever, I guess.

So, Kohane, wanna try going for a run sometime?

Huh?

Yeah, I'd like to increase my stamina too.

I didn't exercise at all in junior high, so I probably have the least out of all of us.

In that case, I'd like to join you.

I haven't exercised much up until now either.

Okay...?

(They call me the self-disciplined one, but they better not get carried away themselves.)

Then, why don't we all go for a run together? Nonogi Park's got plenty of trees and shade, so it shouldn't be too bad even when it's hot out.

Really? I'd like that a lot.

Yeah, me too!

Alright, sounds good!

Let's all go for a run next time!

Sure.
