Haruka

A morning run, a hundred reps of exercises that we can do in our spare time and...

2
Character icon
MEIKO

Your training schedules seem to be coming along nicely.

3
Character icon
Haruka

Thanks. I wouldn't have been able to do this without you, MEIKO.

4
Character icon
Haruka

What you said helped me figure out which exercises to choose, how many reps to do and when.

5
Character icon
MEIKO

I'm glad to hear that♪

6
Character icon
Minori

Oh, have you finished coming up with those training schedules for Shinobi Battle?

7
Character icon
Rin

I wanna see them♪

8
Character icon
Haruka

Sure. Actually, I'd like to hear what you guys think. Let me know if anything sticks out to you.

9
Character icon
Len

Based on what I overheard just now, what you came up with sounded pretty intense.

10
Character icon
KAITO

Oh... W-Wow...

11
Character icon
Shizuku

Run five kilometers in the morning, do three sets of a hundred squats and twenty-second planks, and then go to school...?

12
Character icon
Airi

I get that you guys don't have a lot of time to train for this, but talk about going full throttle...

13
Character icon
MEIKO

Oh, is it too much?

14
Character icon
MEIKO

But considering the strength and stamina they're going to need, they're going to have to push themselves at least this hard...

15
Character icon
Haruka

Right.

I crammed in everything that I thought we could do.

16
Character icon
Haruka

So it's going to come down to whether or not those two can hang on...

17
Character icon
MEIKO

Based on what you've all told me about how they train and exercise on a regular basis, I believe they'll be able to get through this.

18
Character icon
MEIKO

Oh, I know!

Len, KAITO, would you two be up for a little challenge?

19
Character icon
Len & KAITO

What?!

20
Character icon
MEIKO

These training schedules were designed with two boys in mind, yes?

21
Character icon
MEIKO

So, I thought you two could do a quick test run for us...

22
Character icon
Len

Yeah, I guess we are the only ones you can ask.

23
Character icon
KAITO

Okay. Then, let's give it a try.

24
Character icon
Haruka

Thank you both very much!

25
Character icon
MEIKO

Then, let's start with...

Several dozen minutes later
26
Character icon
KAITO

N-No more...

27
Character icon
Len

I-I'm also done...

28
Character icon
Minori

Oh no! KAITO! Len!

29
Character icon
MEIKO

Thank you both very much...

Your sacrifice will not go to waste.

30
Character icon
MEIKO

Let's reorder the exercises that those two will be doing, and adjust the reps for each.

31
Character icon
Haruka

Okay!

32
Character icon
Haruka

But we've only talked about what they'll be doing in the morning. If possible, I'd also like to discuss their schedules for the afternoon...

33
Character icon
Miku

Here's some water, you two.

I'll use these fans to cool you off.

34
Character icon
Luka

I don't think Len and KAITO are going to be able to move for a little while...

35
Character icon
MEIKO

Okay...

Then...

36
Character icon
Minori

I...

37
Character icon
Minori

I-I'll help...!

38
Character icon
Minori

I've been training with you and the others, Haruka, so I should be able to provide you with some good data!

39
Character icon
Haruka

Minori...

40
Character icon
Shizuku

I'd like to help as well.

41
Character icon
Airi

Doing every set might not be possible, but we should be able to help you come up with the best order for these exercises.

42
Character icon
Haruka

All of you...

43
Character icon
MEIKO

Isn't that wonderful, Haruka?

44
Character icon
Haruka

*Nod*

45
Character icon
MEIKO

I really appreciate you girls' commitment.

46
Character icon
MEIKO

So, just do the exercises in the order I tell you!

47
Character icon
Shizuku, Minori & Airi

Yes!

Okay!

Several dozen minutes later
48
Character icon
Miku

Are you okay, everyone?! I'll get you some water now!

49
Character icon
Minori

*Sob*

Rin... Are my arms still attached to my body...?

50
Character icon
Rin

Y-Yeah, don't worry! They still are!

51
Character icon
Minori

Then... Wh-What about my legs...?

52
Character icon
Rin

They're also fine!

Stay with me, Minori!

53
Character icon
Haruka

Thank you for helping me with this, Minori...

I know you're really sore, so I'll carry you home.

54
Character icon
Minori

Carry me...?!

55
Character icon
Haruka

Oh...

56
Character icon
Rin

Minoriii!!

57
Character icon
Luka

That may've been the final blow...

How are you two feeling, Shizuku, Airi?

58
Character icon
Shizuku

Okay... I'd like to take a break, but I think I'll manage...

59
Character icon
Airi

I'm just glad that we were able to figure out the best order for these exercises...

60
Character icon
MEIKO

I really appreciate it, everyone.

Thank you all for your hard work.

61
Character icon
MEIKO

All that's left is to have your teammates try out the completed schedules, no?

62
Character icon
Haruka

Right...

63
Character icon
Haruka

I have a friend who knows Tenma and Shinonome pretty well, so I might ask her for some advice before doing that.

64
Character icon
Airi

Sounds good. But I'm sure they'll both be fine.

65
Character icon
Airi

Akito's a good guy who always does his best when he's up against a serious challenge.

66
Character icon
Shizuku

The same goes for Tsukasa.

67
Character icon
Shizuku

So I'm sure they'll both do their very best to meet your effort and expectations, Haruka.

68
Character icon
Haruka

Thanks...!

69
Character icon
Haruka

Thank you as well, MEIKO.

70
Character icon
MEIKO

No, I should be the one thanking you!

I had a lot of fun working on this with you♪

71
Character icon
MEIKO

Go out there and win!

I believe in you, Haruka!

72
Character icon
Haruka

Okay!
