MEIKO

Okay, let's call it a day.
Please make sure to stretch on your own later.

2

Airi

Sounds good. Nice work, everyone!

3

Minori

Whew... Another exhausting day...

4

Haruka

All the more reason to stretch well.

5

Shizuku

She's right. It's important for us to take good care of our bodies.

6

Minori

Definitely!

7

Rin

Oh, Miku, Luka...
I kinda want to keep working on that part we just did...

8

Miku

Sure, of course.
The part where we weren't quite in sync, right?

9

Luka

Oh, that part bothered me as well.

10

Luka

We'll be joining them to practice that part for a bit, MEIKO.

11

MEIKO

Okay, have fun♪

12

Len

Hey, KAITO.
Maybe we should keep working on our part too.

13

KAITO

Right. Then, why don't we follow suit and start with some fine-tuning.

14

KAITO

What do you plan on doing, MEIKO?

15

MEIKO

Hmm... Well...

16

Airi

Oh, MEIKO!
Sorry, there's actually something I need to ask you...

17

MEIKO

KAITO, I'll meet up with you guys after I talk to Airi.

18

KAITO

Okay, see you then.

19

Airi

Sorry about this, MEIKO.

20

MEIKO

Hehe. It's okay. We were just about done practicing. What was it that you wanted to ask?

21

Airi

I'm in the middle of coming up with ideas for our training camp and was hoping that you could tell me more about how you guys trained.

22

Haruka

Oh, I'd like to hear as well.

23

Minori

Me too! I've been practicing on my own in preparation for our solo show, so we can use what you guys did as reference!

24

MEIKO

Oh, in that case, I'd be more than happy to explain!

25

MEIKO

We started with some basic strength training drills, including sit-ups, push-ups, squats and some lat exercises.

26

MEIKO

After that, we did some running and worked on increasing our lung capacity by blowing up balloons♪

27

Minori

Eep...!
Just hearing that is making my arms and legs sore!

28

Airi

What happened to all that enthusiasm you had just a second ago, Minori?

29

Minori

B-But... It's so much harder than what I was expecting to hear...

30

Shizuku

By the way, how many sit-ups and such did you have everybody do?

31

MEIKO

At least 100.
And two sets of those if possible...

32

Minori

A-At least 100?!

33

Minori

If I did that, my abs would pop out and fly away somewhere!

34

Airi

That's a bit hard to imagine, but it might be fun to see that happen in real life...

35

Minori

What?!

36

Haruka

Two sets if possible...
That sounds pretty difficult.

37

Shizuku

Yes, I think I can do 100, but two sets of those may be tough.

38

Minori

Wait a second...
Don't tell me you all can do 100 sit-ups...

39

Haruka, Airi & Shizuku

Yes.
Of course.

40

Minori

Guh... About thirty's my limit...

41

MEIKO

That's perfectly okay, Minori. There's no need to feel bad.

42

MEIKO

I know 100 is a big number, but it's not actually about quantity.

43

Minori

Huh?

44

MEIKO

Hehe. The goal isn't to do 100 sit-ups.

45

MEIKO

The goal is to work up the courage to push yourself to and beyond your limit.

46

Minori

Courage...?

47

MEIKO

Of course, it's important to complete the reps you set for yourself as you train.

48

MEIKO

However, that doesn't mean you have to do everything on your first try. In time, as that courage within you grows, you'll be able to reach those numbers.

49

MEIKO

So, your first goal will be to actually try pushing yourself to your limit.

50

Minori

Okay...!
Thank you, MEIKO.

51

MEIKO

You're welcome♪

52

MEIKO

Do you think you'll be able to apply this to your training camp, Airi?

53

Airi

Yeah! Thanks a bunch, MEIKO!

54

Airi

Not just for all these training ideas, but for your reasoning too!

55

MEIKO

Hehe. I'm glad I could help.

56

MEIKO

If there's anything else you need, please feel free to stop in and ask.

57

Airi

Really? Then, I might just take you up on that.
