AN: Ryuji is told that he has gained some weight. So, he goes for a jog with Miyu.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Wednesday, May 15th. The temperature is getting warmer, and the daytime is getting a little hotter.
“Let’s get ready for some exercise.”
“Got it.”
Under the apartment building, Miyu and I were stretching. This all started last night.
——
“Ryu-kun, have you gained some weight?”
Miyu’s comment pierced me while I was eating my dinner.
“Ehh… seriously…?”
Then, Miyu touched the side of my stomach.
“Yep, you’re getting a little fat, after all.”
“I’m not supposed to be fat.”
Once every few days, I weighed myself on the scale, and I was sure that I maintained my weight at around 70kg.
“Maybe I’m not gaining weight, but I do have a little bit of meat on me.”
“Hmm… Maybe you should go on a diet.”
Miyu didn’t seem to be too concerned about it.
“All right! We’ll start jogging tomorrow!”
Here at Tsukuha University, there is a department dedicated to physical education, and the amount of effort put into physical education is amazing. There is even a dedicated jogging course within the university.
“Then, let’s give it a try.”
And so it was decided that we would go jogging.
——
So, here we are. Thinking about it, I’m starting to feel like I haven’t been doing much exercise except for my weekly gym class.
“Okay! I’m done!”
“I’m done too.”
The two of us finished our preparatory exercises together.
“All right, let’s go!”
With Miyu’s cheerful shout, we started jogging. Our apartment building, Amakubo 3-chome, is located right in the middle of a jogging course, and we often run into students jogging on their way to the university.
I ran at a slow pace, while breathing the crisp morning air.
“It’s been a while since I’ve jogged, but…”
I spun my words as I ran.
“Surprisingly, it feels good.”
“Nature is so abundant here, after all.”
I looked to my side and saw that Miyu was looking cool. She replied back to me without losing her breath.
For a while, we ran together in silence. The jogging course goes around the perimeter of the university campus. It was a total of 5.3 kilometers, which would give us a good workout if we ran around the entire course.
“Haa…haa…haa…”
After a while, I started to feel breathless.
“Are you okay?”
“I’m fine.”
I’m not even halfway through the course and I’m feeling a little out of breath, which was pathetic, so I toughened up a little. [TLN: Iz oke bro cause I can’t even last 5 mins kekw]
“Let me know if you’re having it hard, okay?”
“Yeah.”
Miyu looked worried, but she decided not to say anything for now.
We continued to run for another ten minutes.
“Haa…haa…haa…”
As expected, it was a little unbearable.
“Shall we take a break?”
“Thank you…”
I stopped to catch my breath. However, Miyu didn’t seem to be exercising that much since she entered the University either, yet she wasn’t out of breath.
“How come Miyu is fine?”
“There’s a trick to moving your body.”
That said, she taught me a few tips, such as keeping my body from moving up and down, and being aware of my stride length.
“It sounds difficult to put into practice.”
“Give it a month, and you’ll get used to it.”
“When did you…”
I never heard of Miyu jogging back in highschool.
“I used to jog when I was on diet.”
“Did you ever get fat?”
“I didn’t go out that much after that incident happened, so yeah.”
Now that she mentioned it, I think we had played outside less and less since then. I didn’t know that it was such efforts that kept her in shape.
“Miyu is amazing.”
Even though that incident must have caused a lot of damage to Miyu.
“I-It’s not that amazing. It’s just normal.”
Miyu seemed to be flustered by my praise, and she’s doing a *funya~* expression. [TLN: i was thinking of something like this > click here <]
“Well then, I guess I have to work hard too.”
I rolled my shoulders and took a deep breath.
“All right, Let’s get back on track.”
“Yes!”
And so, we resumed our jogging. However, there was no way I could make up the difference in technique right away, so we had to take a few breaks.
About 40 minutes later.
“I’ve finished it!”
Finally, I finished jogging a lap and gave Miyu a high-five.
“Ah~ that was a good workout.”
I murmured as I stretched.
“But, you have to keep it up regularly.”
“Yeah, I’ll do my best.”
Besides, running together like this is not so bad, it felt like a date. But, I didn’t say those words to her. [TLN:草] [EDN: Kusa.]
