Kanata proposed alternating between Earth and Anazumu in specific intervals. Thus, the six of us now spent our days in accordance with that.

At any rate, we were currently in Anazumu, but… after just four days of the planned two weeks had passed, Ayumu complained about being bored. Though it looked as if he now started seriously working on something.

I didn’t know there was anything other than video games and family matters that made him go all-out. He probably found something worth doing.

Similarly, Rir and I found things to pass the time… mainly strength training (among other… activities).

For the first few days, starting with Kanata, we used our stats and the tools available in Anazumu to cheat and hold nonstop study sessions. Everyone participated in those, but… on the second day, we were already done learning everything we needed to get into the universities of our choice after graduating from high school¹. That was the end of it.

Honestly, the items here were unfair. Well, Kanata was still studying, and it looked like Sakura kept him company.

“Phew…”

I got off the strength training appliance I had made using the “machine able to create anything of treasure grade² or lower” Ayumu had given me.

“Shuu, you look tired.” Rir, who had a towel wrapped around her neck, held out something to drink to me, which I gratefully accepted. “Your training is going well, no?”
“Yup. Well, it’s more like a hobby for me. You also did some until yesterday, right? Why’d you stop?”

On the first day, she had said “Let’s train together!” and got drenched in sweat right next to me on the training appliances. However, after getting out of the bath on that day, she gradually reduced her training regimen. From her personality, I expected her to continue next to me until the point where I quit.

“Oh! Since we started training together, we never took a bath together and didn’t sleep together, so I never told you the reason.”
“Does… does that have anythin’ to do with the fact you’re undressin’?”
“Yeah, it’s to show you.”

She had put her hands on her clothes and rolled them up as she had done before… stopping just under her breasts, so they couldn’t be seen yet. Then, while holding them up with one hand, she lowered her pants a tiny bit.

Well, that was it. Her whole abdomen was on display in front of me.
…Lookin’ at it like this, there’s parts other than her breasts that do look nice, too… nope, not the time for that.

In any case, she’d been training, so she had a good physique. There were two clean rows of abdominal muscles. Her waist was slim, too. This was probably the ideal body shape for a girl who trained to some extent.

Yep, thinkin’ how close to death she seemed when I first met her, it’s great she got this healthy. Makes me happy for her.

“Woof… A-As you can see, it reached a good point, so I stopped. If I continued and got super muscular, I was worried it would no longer feel good for you to hug me.”
“Nah… I never thought like that.”
“Even if you say that, I am conscious about my body. Even I prefer to look stylish and have nice proportions.”

Makes sense, she is a girl.
Rather, the fact she got to this point by trainin’ just a few days is probably thanks to the effects of Ayumu’s items.

“Incidentally, Shuu, you’re not looking at my breasts? Wh-While it is a bit embarrassing, I’m perfectly willing to show them to you…”
“Nah, I’m good right now.”
“I see.”

Her ears, which had been standing up straight from the tension, now flopped down like boiled vegetable leaves.
Should I have looked at ’em at least a bit?

“L-Let’s go in the bath, then! You’re rather sweaty, Shuu! I could join you and wash your back…”
“Nah, I’m good.”
“I see.”

Now she looked disappointed.
Was my refusal to harsh? If we go into the bath together… on second thought, we only did that once, and afterwards we went straight to havin’ sex. I’m not plannin’ to do that right now… so I’ll go in alone.

“Well, if you’re not in the mood, then it can’t be helped. We haven’t done it in a while, so I thought I’d bring it up.”
“R-Right. Thanks for your consideration.”

I simply thanked her and then quickly entered the bathroom. I only took a quick bath, so I was out again in a flash.

“Woof~, at the end of the day, you do have great muscles, Shuu!” she commented as I came out of the bathroom.
“You think so?”

When she first went to Earth, Rir developed a muscle fetish, and now she liked to hug my muscles, rub her cheeks against them, and trace the bumps with her fingers.

“I do! That inverted triangle is marvelous! And despite that, you look slim. Can I hug you?”
“I haven’t dried off yet, your clothes will get wet.”
“I don’t mind!”

Immediately after saying that, she pulled me in an embrace. She hadn’t been wrong earlier. It was no longer just her chest, in her current state, other parts of her also felt nice during the embrace…

“By the way, Shuu, why did you start this kind of strength training?”

She looked up at me as she had her head against my pecs (though it probably wasn’t a calculated move).

“R-Right. When I started doin’ Judo in middle school, my body got stronger by itself, but… well, I made strength training part of what I did at home, so it became routine… that’s more of less it.”
“I-I see!”

After looking as if she understood what I meant, she buried her head in my chest again.

Oh, right. I’ve been wonderin’ bout that for a while and now’s a good time to bring it up.

“Rir, since we talked ’bout Judo, are you goin’ to join a club?”
“Woof? A club…?”

1. Even assuming they keep all that knowledge long-term, wouldn’t that make going to school insanely boring if you know everything already? I guess it’s a difference in culture, but still…
2. The original is 宝物, which is different from the usual 宝級 for “treasure grade”. I assume that’s an error, though the meaning is very similar.
