A Secret Coach (2)

Oh?

Urgh…

(Pant, pant)… It seems these weights are still too much for me.

You’re quite frail, Muneuji. I can practically hear your feeble arms screaming for mercy.

Domeki-san…! You’ve seen me at my weakest…

I attempted to refine my training to achieve muscles like yours, and yet…

It seems like it’s not going too well.

Precisely. Domeki-san, as someone who admires your beautiful muscles, I’d like to ask you a favor.

Might you share your tips for training? As someone who’s already reached the level you have, I’d appreciate your guidance.

Tips, huh…

……

Start by learning how to put your strength to use. Right now, you aren’t using the power in your muscles properly.

…! I see. How exactly should I apply my strength?

Someone’s eager. Here’s an example…

With this, I’m one step nearer to my goal. I sincerely thank you for your guidance.

I don’t remember signing up to be your coach, but whatever. Imagining you with muscles like mine one day is rather amusing.

However, I’m still far from achieving muscles like yours, Domeki-san. Simply imitating your training methods isn’t enough.

Is there anything else?

Yeah… I have a bit of that stuff I like.

Oh, I actually got an interesting new batch from that lamb recently. Want to see?

I’m baaack~!

(Huh? I hear voices. Is there someone in the living room?)

What?!

Wh-What on earth are you doing?!

Oh, it’s you cica. Why are you in such a hurry?

Welcome back, Chief. Domeki-san and I were just in the middle of sampling some protein powder.

P-Protein…?

Muneuji’s surprisingly daring, you know. The way he’s so willing to try unusual flavors is quite the sight.

I’m honored. I truly appreciate your help and advice, Domeki-san.

The drink Domeki-san recommended had a name that didn’t explain anything about its flavor… just reading it sparked my curiosity.

Care for a try, cica? It’s called “Bursting with Future Potential”.

I can’t tell what that tastes like!

Come on, cica. Don’t be shy.

Umm, I think I’ll pass…!
