1. "Got it."
2. "Let's get going."
3. "And send."
6. "What was that message just now?"
7. "Yeah, what's up?"
8. "Huh?"
9. "It was pretty self-explanatory, wasn't it?"
10. "She's calling me!?"
11. "Whoa! Huh?"
12. "Yep, I could."
13. "I was just wondering if you can do a sit-up."
14. "Hmm, let's see..."
15. "..."
Loading…Loading…
1. "Oh, really?"
2. And I thought I might finally have found someone who shares my pain...
3. "Yep."
4. "I wonder why."
5. "Don't tell me, she actually tried it out? How conscientious."
6. "That's pretty incredible."
7. "Personally, I can't do it unless someone holds my feet down for me."
8. "So... Was that all?"
9. "Yep, that's all."
10. "See ya."
11. "..."
12. Maybe it would've been better to talk for a little while longer. She did take the time to call me, after all.
13. Well, not that I have anything to talk about.
14. Today, mom's taking me to a gym to try it out.
15. "Let's get going already."
16. "Okay."
Loading…Loading…
1. "Now, what to do..."
2. "!"
3. "Perfect timing. Maybe I should start from there."
4. "Idiot."
5. "Damn, that sure was some good exercise."
6. Five minutes later....
7. "No more, I can't... My sides hurt like crazy..."
8. "How are my school performance and lack of physical strength related?"
9. "No wonder you get bad grades in school."
1. "By the way, you're going to school every day, right?"
2. "Yeah? Show me how many minutes you can keep going."
3. "This is how you do this."
4. "That doesn't necessarily mean that school's where you're going to."
5. "Well, you see me leaving every morning wearing my uniform, don't you?"
6. Could she have brought up a more annoying topic?
7. "Yes, yes. I know."
8. "I've always taught you not to be a burden to others, haven't I?"
9. "The people around you as well."
10. "Listen. If you don't go, it's just gonna get you in trouble later on."
11. "Weakling."
12. "Good grief."
13. "To the pool. I think I've had enough exercise for one day."
14. "Where are you going?"
15. "Hey!"
1. I walked, and I floated. What should I do next?
2. "Phew..."
3. Anything else? Hmm...
4. There are whirlpool baths over there.
7. Now, which one?
8. Oh, two saunas! Those are nice too.
9. She's going to the steam sauna, huh?
10. "!"
1. Wait...
2. Is it just my imagination, or...
3. "..."
4. Does she resemble someone I know?
5. "I don't like you."
6. Don't know anyone who I'd associate with that tone of voice.
7. No, must just be my imagination.
1. "Sigh..."
2. In other words, she dislikes anyone younger than herself?
3. "Get what I'm saying?"
4. "And that's where you come in."
5. "Since this place is filled with nothing but grannies and grandpas, it lets me feel superior for being the youngest one here, even at my age."
6. "Tee-hee."
7. "Just kidding."
8. "Just kidding."
9. "Oh..."
10. "Is it...?"
11. "But really though, it's quite rare to see young kids here."
12. "Ah!"
13. It isn't my imagination.
14. "Now?"
1. "Oh my, if it isn't mrs adachi."
2. The person that she reminds me of is...
3. "Going to the sauna again?"
5. "Hello."
7. I knew it. That's adachi's mom.
8. "How come you're always in the sauna but never seem to lose any weight?"
9. "How rude."
10. As Yashiro would say, must be destiny.
11. What are the chances of me running across her in a place like this?
1. "Definitely."
2. "So... That coach..."
3. I got caught up in the moment and ended up entering the sauna with her.
4. She looks so similar that you could straight-up mistake her for adachi with a different hairstyle at a quick glance.
5. Still, the resemblance sure is striking.
6. "I suppose."
7. "Oh, that's nice. Must be relaxing now that the entrance exams are behind you."
8. "Fifteen."
9. "First year in high school."
10. "By the way, how old is your child now?"
11. "Always so afraid of strangers, too."
12. What goes on in the head of that kid, I have no idea.
13. "My child's quite difficult, you see."
14. "You say "Relaxing", but honestly, it's anything but."
1. "Umm..."
2. "I don't think the way you speak about them is good."
3. "Or at all..."
4. "..."
5. "Though I might not know ada... Your child well..."
6. The reason why is that they are involved with their children.
7. My mother might be the type that meddles into my affairs a little too much for my taste...
8. But at least those like her understand their daughters, to a certain extent at least.
9. "Understand your child be your fault, not theirs, for not interacting with them?"
10. "Could the fact that you don't..."
1. "..."
2. "You came here with a parent?"
3. "Ah!"
4. "I did, but..."
5. "I don't want to start an argument or anything."
6. "What's your name? Who are you?"
7. "Like I said, I'm not going to discuss this with you."
8. "I don't think that's relevant."
9. "..."
10. "So, why don't we have a contest to find out?"
11. "I don't know which one of us is correct."
1. "Whoever can stay in the sauna the longest, wins."
2. "A contest?"
3. "What I ask is that for just a single day, you act like a good mother for your child."
4. "If I win, then that means that I am correct."
5. "Indeed."
6. Is this what they mean when they talk about kids being rebellious?
7. "..."
8. "Don't stay too long, okay?"
9. "I'm going now."
1. "What do you mean by a "Good mother"?"
2. "Play against me."
3. "Ho ho!"
4. Reminds me of Adachi when she challenged Yashiro to a bowling match.
5. How stupid is it to fall for the provocation of someone you've just met, and have barely spoken a word to?
6. "Okay, tell me what your..."
7. "Ideal mother is like then."
8. "What makes a "normal" parent?"
9. "Just normal is good, I think."
10. "I don't have children, how would I know?"
11. "Like... Being with their ..."
12. "Kids?"
13. "Eating with them ..."
14. "Maybe..."
15. "..."
16. "..."
17. "I'm not ..."
18. "Sure ..."
19. The other day...
1. "Want me to let you win?"
2. "I don't need you to "Let" me."
3. "..."
4. "There was an old man who stayed too long in a sauna, fell over, and started bleeding."
5. "..."
6. "Please don't."
7. "I'll let you win."
8. "I will not."
9. "Okay, let me win then."
10. "I'd like you to say so."
11. ""If you're having fun..."
12. What is going on?
13. "Yep."
14. "She was five, I think. Or maybe four."
15. "...is that some- thing you said to your daugh- ter?"
16. "I have no idea if you're enjoying yourself or not.""
17. "No matter where I take you, you al- ways act reserved."
1. "Hmm, I suppose."
2. "That's how it has been for me."
3. "If a parent talks to their child about every little thing, they only find it annoying, right?"
4. "Could you think of anything more recent?"
5. "That's quite the old story."
6. "Ohh? Running away?"
7. "I told you, you don't need to do that."
8. "I think it's about time I let you win."
9. "All right."
10. "No, never mind."
11. "Whatever."
12. "?"
13. Wait... "Daughter"?
14. I should leave, too...
15. "What was that?"
1. The next day.
2. Monday morning.
3. "Uh... My muscles hurt..."
4. "Huh?"
5. That's what my body is telling me.
6. "You worked really hard yesterday, so just take it easy today and rest."
7. "My body just hurts a little."
8. "Good morning, Adachi..."
9. "Shimamura!?"
10. "Are you okay!?"
11. "Huh!?"
12. "Oh, adachi."
13. "Let me borrow your lap for a bit."
1. "Hm?"
2. "Is it just me, or have we done something like this before?"
3. "We have."
4. "Al- though, I was the one resting on your lap back then."
5. "Oh, right. I rem- ember now."
6. Adachi really took a liking to my lap that time.
7. I see why now. So soft, so warm...
8. It really is com- fortable, the lap of another.
9. "Adachi, why are your legs shaking?"
10. "Hm?"
11. "D-don't worry about it."
12. "Squeeze"
1. I think I like lying this way better.
2. This way, I can smell you.
3. "Ahaha"
4. "I can ... Smell you, adachi."
1. "Dis and dat?"
2. "Just some stuff. This and that, dis and dat."
3. "What did I do?"
4. "Wh- what did you do yesterday, shimamura?"
5. "Yeah?"
6. "So, like, yes- ter- day..."
7. "... ..."
8. "Weird in what way?"
9. "My mom was, like, acting all weird."
10. "And that's weird?"
11. "Umm ..."
12. "She ate dinner with me."
1. "Oppres-sive."
2. "Um..."
3. "And..."
4. "It was so... Nostalgic, I guess you could say."
5. She's a surprisingly conscientious person, just like her daughter.
6. The fact that she kept her promise.
7. Probably because she's so rarely home.
8. "But never eats with me. That's why it was so shock-ing."
9. "She always makes food for me..."
10. "We didn't even talk about anything, just sat there silently. I can't even remember what the food tasted like, that's how uncomfor-table it was."
11. "Hardly."
12. "Did you like that she did?"
13. "Yeah... I might have gone and stuck my nose where it doesn't belong..."
14. "I see..."
15. "I see..."
1. "Hmm, no reason. I just want to see you do it."
2. "Okay, I guess?"
3. "What's up with you and sit-ups lately?"
4. "Hey, adachi. Do a sit-up for me."
5. "Ah!"
6. "Care-ful now."
7. "I can see inside your skirt."
8. "Hmph... She makes it look so easy..."
9. "Have I done enough yet?"
10. "!?"
1. "Huh!?"
2. "Sexual harassment? Come on, it's not like anyone else was looking."
3. "That's sexual harassment."
4. "Th-"
5. "Anyway, it's pretty incredible how you're able to do a sit-up just like that."
6. ""You know" what?"
7. "You know."
8. "Having you look is kinda..."
9. "Mutter..."
10. "Just look."
11. "Nope."
12. "You can't, shimamura?"
1. "Don't you stare smug at me!"
2. "...was that a sit-up?"
3. Be it my exercise...
4. Or adachi...
5. ... In the end ...
6. Nothing changes in a single day.
7. "What are you talking about?"
8. "Nope."
9. "Hm ..."
10. "Just some stuff."
11. "Now, shall we go buy something to eat?"
