Morning!
Morning, Akito!
Why'd you come over...?
Hehe. You guys have begun training for Shinobi Battle, right? I was wondering how you were doing.
Oh, that.
Your best friend's nuts.
You have everything scheduled down to the minute. Not only that, it says to do “at least” a hundred reps for each of these drills and exercises!
I tried to come up with drills and exercises that you both could do whenever you had a minute, since I know that you're both very busy with rehearsals and singing practice.
Oh, I almost forgot to give you these weights. Please put them on whenever you exercise, to maximize your gains.
Weights?!
I also came up with diets for each of you to follow until the day of the event. I wrote down the recipes for everything that you'll be having, along with why I chose them.
You went that far?!
She's even having us wear vests and stuff that weigh like ten kilograms apiece.
She got her hands on them?! She just told me about them the other day!
The other day...?
Wait, you already knew that she was putting together some really crazy training schedules?
Knew? She came to ask for my advice!
Even though your goal as a team is to give it everything you have and win, she wasn't sure how hard she'd be allowed to push you and Tenma.
Seriously, when did this discussion happen?
Haruka's really kind, and she likes to look out for others.
She's really only just met you guys, so she was worried that she'd take things too far.
But I said it'd be worse for her to hold back, since you guys all agreed to form a team together. I figured she should just push it to the limit.
Push it to the limit, huh...
Anyway, she was worried about asking too much of you guys, so I told her...!
“I wouldn't underestimate them, Haruka. You really don't need to hold back for those two!”
I gave her plenty of encouragement♪
(What...?!
Just because she isn't the one who has to do all this...!)
Morning...
Oh, Kusanagi!
Morning!
Hey.
Oh, do you guys already know? Tsukasa's going to be in Shinobi Battle with me and this other girl.
Yeah, he told us.
He even mentioned something about having to follow a really tough training schedule.
Oh, but he didn't really give any details as to what he'd be doing.
You're not gonna believe it.
Right, Akito?
Why don't you show her yours?
Take a look.
Thanks. Let's see...
Wait, what? You're doing something every minute...
Run five kilometers in the morning.
Do three sets of a hundred squats and planks?!
And you have to run again at school?!
See? Pretty amazing, right?
And it's not just exercises.
It's even got meals and sleep time included, too!
Why do you sound so proud?
Kiritani's the one who came up with this.
Umm... A-Are you sure you can handle all this, Shinonome?
Probably.
W-Wow...
I'd probably be on the floor after just these morning exercises.
That's okay, Kusanagi.
I doubt I'd last more than half a day either!
Hey.
Pipe down or else.
Haha. Okay, I'm sorry!
But I know Haruka's taking this really seriously, and you always do your best to stay super fit too, Akito.
You both have the drive to do your best, so I have a feeling that you'll be able to come to a good understanding!
I designed them with winning in mind, so I hope you'll give them a try.
(The drive to do our best, huh...)
(Come to think of it, Kiritani has to work and practice as an idol. And she goes to Miya Girls, which is a lot more demanding academically.)
(But she still took the time to come up with personalized training schedules for us.)
(She even asked An for advice...)
Yeah, I know that Kiritani's serious about this.
Which means I need to work just as hard, and give her the respect she deserves.
That's what I like to hear!
I know you can do it, Akito!
G-Good luck!
Yeah.
