Part 2
CW: Discussion of weight/weight loss and eating habits.
HAMA House Living Room
!! These mentaiko crackers are amazing!
Right? I bought a pack and they ended up being a huge hit.
The training trip itinerary was already packed with activities, but the food was excellent too.
This yellow bean paste bun I bought has a pretty interesting texture. Would you like to try one, Chief?
Yeah, thank you!
…Ah. Actually, could I just have half?
?
Um, I mean, it’s a precious souvenir, so I want to eat it slowly. So, split it in half!
Yeah, that’s fine, but…
...…?
HAMA House Dining Room
Yippee! Curry for dinner! Time to dig in ♪
…Say whaaa? That’s all you’re eating, Sensei? Isn’t that just a teeny plateful?!
Y-Yeah. I’m not that hungry…
Huuuuuh, for real!? Curry’s basically just a kinda soup! Can’t you just chug a whole big plate even if you’re not hungry!?
Ah, haha…

Hmm…
…Milk should be okay, right? But it has a surprising amount of fat…
Why are you muttering to yourself?
Wah!? T…Ten-kun!!?
Why are you so surprised?
Ah…, I’m, uh…
Work was busy today, so I was feeling hungrier than usual… But having a snack at this time of night is… Well… How do I put it… Uhh…
Ohh. Are you worried about getting fat?
!!? Y-You can tell!?
Of course you can, it’s obvious! My body is heavy and swollen, and my face is puffy!
Well, I don’t think it’s bad enough for most people to notice.
(I mean, the people looking at you probably wouldn’t care if you gained a little weight.)
Besides, aren’t there more people who’re worried about the fact that you’re not eating much?
……
…I know why I gained weight. I got ahead of myself in Fukuoka and ate too much…
Oh yeah, that’s true. I remember we had gyoza and motsunabe at a food stall.
Huh!? I don’t remember that at all though… Anyway, I’m trying to redeem myself, so I wanted to hold off on eating the same amount as I over ate on the trip…
I see. So you’re thinking if you don't eat you’ll lose weight?
Yeah, that’s it.
That’s a pretty extreme approach. You’ll collapse soon if you keep doing it.
……
…Chief. Want me to tell you a quicker way to lose weight?
Huh?
It’s exercise. Intense exercise to slim up nicely.
…I can do it with you all the way until you’re satisfied. I’m confident in my stamina.
……
That’s it!!
……
…………What?
It’s just like you said! The key to losing weight is exercise!
? *Sigh*…
Actually, I did think about exercising a bit, but I was so busy, I kept putting it off. But now I realize that was a mistake.
Thanks, Ten-kun. I was feeling a little discouraged about doing it on my own, but if you’ll do it with me, then I think I can try my best!
Let’s strike while the iron’s hot! C’mon, let’s go!
No, I… Huh. Wait…
HAMA House
*Panting*... Exercise feels good, doesn’t it?!
(I did say I’d join in the “exercise”…)
It’s the first day we’re doing this, so this much should be enough, right? How about we go home now and crack open a cold beer?
Not a chance! I’m not going back to the dorm until I’m down to my normal weight!
Today’s goal is three laps around town! Let’s do it! Yeaaah!
Yeaaah…
(There’s no way this guy can do three laps.)
(Oh well, guess I’ll just enjoy a nice date night until the chief gives up…)
