Chapter 324: [Skipping The Tutorial]
"Hey, Iroha. You okay? The game’s just started though."
"No, I might be done for."
?Heart rate is off the charts, lol
?Getting Iroha-chan’s heart rate to max seems easier by making her sprint 50 meters than by playing a horror game.
?Dude, what are you talking about! There’s no way Iroha-chan could run 50 meters!
"I can at least run that much! You're underestimating me way too much! Hey, you two, back me up!"
"Um, you guys?"
"50 meters, huh? That’s questionable."
"Yeah, it might be tough-nee."
"Wait, is my reputation that low!?""At the very least, saying that in your current state has no credibility."
"…Just give me one more minute to rest, then I'll get up for real."
"This is gonna be a long journey."
Angu Ogu sighed, exasperated, as I spoke while lying down without even a twitch.
Please. Don’t look at me like that.
"I could really run 50 meters, you know. We even measure it in P.E. at school. Although, I’ve never placed above last, and for some reason, the teacher always yells, ‘Iroha-san, please don’t walk, run!’"
"That means you’re not running."
I want to believe that can’t be true.
Finally regaining my strength and calming my breathing, I slowly sat up.
"Yeah. It’s gotta be that the enemy earlier was just too strong! Maybe it was the boss!"
"No way!"
"But didn’t it have at least the strength of a mid-boss?"
"No matter how you look at it, that guy wasn’t even one of the Four Heavenly Kings; he was literally the weakest!"
"Yeah, you’re right."
"Iroha-chan, at this rate, we’ll never finish! Come on, do some squats to move forward!"
"Why do I need to work out just to move the character? Huff, puff…"
"Hands off your knees! That’s not how you do it!"
"That’s just knee bends."
"Ugh…"
My legs started trembling again almost immediately.
This is too tough…!
"No, no, Iroha-chan. A squat goes like this!"
Ah-nee couldn’t bear to watch any longer, so she came over and started demonstrating the proper form.
Schwabababam! Her squats were so fast it almost made sound effects.
"I can’t do that!
My thighs are already at their limit…"
"Hey Iroha, you won’t make any progress sitting there."
"But I am doing as told! I’m squatting, as you said!"
"Always with the backtalk."
"What are you talking about, Iroha-chan? Squatting isn’t just sitting down?"
"No, I mean, in English, ‘squat’ can mean to sit down. It was a joke."
"Stop saying nonsense and get up! Let’s train!"
?Anego is too strong in so many ways lol
?If you can’t communicate, you can’t even stall for time lol
?Hang in there, Iroha-chan!
"Ugh… Huff, puff. Just standing up is all I can manage… Whoa!?"
My legs gave out, and I stumbled into Ah-nee, who was standing nearby. Seizing the opportunity, I leaned on her and clung tightly. I’m done. I need a break.
"I can’t stand anymore. Ah-nee, support me."
?Oh my~!
?Is this the rare clingy Iroha-chan!?
?Anego, please let me take your place in supporting her!
"Anego, no fair! Iroha, if you’re gonna cling, do it to me!"
"Don’t get spoiled!"
"Whoa!?" "Whoa!?"
For some reason, Ah-nee yelled with unexpected force.
"Cadet Iroha, attention! Private First Class Angu Ogu, too!"
"Y-Yes! Wait, cadet?" "Why am I included!?"
"From now on, address me as Sergeant! Got it!?"
"What’s your response!?"
"Got it." "Why me…"
"Wrong! You need to add ‘Sir' at the start and end!"
""Sir, yes sir!""
Apparently, Ah-nee got influenced by something weird again.
Or maybe it’s the American atmosphere affecting her?
The last time she visited here, she was the one who enjoyed the shooting range the most.
After that, Ah-nee drilled me hard while we continued the game.
Angu Ogu had to do the same exercises right next to me.
""Pant, pant…!? ""
"Good job, you two! You’re really getting there!"
Even though I could barely manage one push-up or sit-up, I think I did well.
At one point, I almost passed out, and Angu Ogu worriedly exclaimed, "Iroha’s dead!?"
***
"Y-Y… YESSSSSS! We cleared it~~~!"
?Ohhh! Congratulations, Iroha-chan!
?Even with the weakest setup, I can’t believe you made it this far!
?Iroha-chan’s gotten pretty tough, hasn’t she?
"Well done, Iroha, you’re the champ!"
"Great job-nee~!"
"You guys… Yeah, yeah! I really did my best!"
Ah-nee hugged us tightly.
I felt a strong sense of accomplishment.
The comment section was also caught up in the emotional moment.
Well, it took us hours to get here… the viewers must’ve had it rough too!
"Ah-nee, I’ve learned my lesson. From now on, I’ll work out every day!"
"No way, the Iroha actually said that!?"
"Iroha-chan! You’ve finally come around, sis~! I’m so happy! But first…"
"Huh?"
For some reason, Ah-nee took a step back.
Then she pressed the confirm button on the controller instead of me.
"We’ve only just finished the tutorial, so let’s go take down the actual boss!"
"What?"
"Huh?"
?What
?Oh no
?Yeah, that’s right…
"No, I never want to do a workout stream again…!?"
I take it back.
I think exercise can go to hell.
