Thank you for showing us that video of you and your team competing in Shinobi Battle, Haruka♪
That was so cool!
Even though I knew I was watching a video, I couldn't help but cheer for you guys.
I know how you feel! I did the exact same thing!
From the first person to the very last, this competition felt like a continuous highlight reel.
Yes! I'm almost... Huh?!
Oh no! He fell!
No, wait!
He's clinging to the bottom of the log!
<Wait, he's stopped all of a sudden!
Is something wrong?>
He was doing so well. What happened?
It's hard to see from this video, but the strap for his left foot broke.
Oh, we had no idea.
The announcer didn't really say what had happened while we were streaming.
I mean, why didn't they call a timeout?!
It seems really unfair for him to lose time because of an equipment malfunction!
<That gust came out of nowhere!>
I can't watch! This part always makes my heart jitter!
You can do it, Haruka!
Don't worry! She'll find a way out of this!
Hehe. They all cheered their lungs out♪
*Nod*
I'm glad they enjoyed everything.
We weren't able to win, but I think we did as well as we did because you helped me come up with those training schedules.
Again, MEIKO, I can't thank you enough.
You're very welcome♪
But that was such an exciting competition. Now I feel like exercising and stuff too.
I know how you feel!
The variety-show star in me can't keep herself still!
Hehe. That's wonderful!
I wish there were something we could do to work off some of that energy...
Actually, I think I have just what you all need.
Here we are.
Oh, these are...!
The equipment you use during checkups and stuff! Like this one, you use it to measure your grip strength!
And this one is for doing... Umm... Seated forward bends?
You've even got a tape measure, a stopwatch and data sheets!
MEIKO said she wanted to run a fitness exam after you girls held that training camp. So, she asked me to gather everything we'd need.
And now we finally can!
Thank you, KAITO!
Fitness exams?
That does sound like fun.
I bet I'll do great at that thing where you hop from side to side!
Are you talking about side steps?
I'm also pretty good at those!
Hehe. Things are getting heated already♪
So, why don't we all participate?!
<Ready!>
Nnn!
Hnng!
Hrgh!
Oh, MEIKO, you made that look so easy.
I don't think anyone's going to beat your score.
Yay♪
Goooooo!
Left! Right! Left!
I think Airi has a slight lead!
You're both doing great!
Create momentum by swinging your arms as hard as you can. One, two, three...
Huh? Shizuku...?
You just seem to be doing squats at this point...
She isn't sure when to jump...
Huff... Huff...
I think I'm done...
Nice work, KAITO.
Why don't we rest over here?
Haruka and MEIKO are still going strong.
Darn it. I used too much energy during the side step test.
So...
Do we have a winner?
Alright, I'll announce our overall winner.
It's gotta be Haruka or MEIKO.
They both did very well during every test.
In first place, we have...!
MEIKO and Haruka! It's a tie!
What...?!
Congratulations, Haruka!
Congratulations, MEIKO!
Hehe. Thank you all!
I knew that we were neck and neck all throughout, but I didn't think it'd end in a tie like this!
Me neither. I'm just as surprised.
I thought that I'd do well, but not this well.
I think it's because of the exercises you suggested that we do as part of our training, MEIKO.
I think we have a nice rivalry on our hands now♪
But I'm going to win it all next time we do this.
Not so fast. I have to do well again to make sure everyone knows that today's result wasn't just a fluke.
