TL/ED: Bogdi
After returning from the pool, I was tormented by muscle pain for three days.
This was …… inevitable.
This is because I’ve been lazy and not exercising …….
If I think of this pain as the payback for everything I’ve done, I could give up.
What’s more problematic is that …… the pool has exposed my lack of exercise and athleticism.
So ever since that day…
“Towa-kun. Let’s do some exercises today. Proper exercise is essential for a healthy life.”
A familiar voice, devoid of emotion and tone, passed through my ears.
For those who don’t like to exercise, this is something I’d rather not hear …….
(TLN: I agree.)
Rin’s meddling nature has been ignited since that day.
Rin’s head was wrapped with a headband that read “Hot Blooded Demon Coach,” and she even changed into her gym clothes before she started the exercises.
I guess Rin is the type to start with style.
In her hand, she holds a book with the words “Breakthrough from 30 to 60 in exercise performance”…… and she looks very enthusiastic.
This means …
–Exercise.
–Study.
–Diet.
I’ve reached a state where I was being assisted by Rin for most of my daily life.
I guess it’s no wonder I’m in such a state.
A new addition to my life is “exercise”.
Rin’s headband says that she is a “hot-blooded demon coach,” but …… in reality she is not that hot-blooded, nor does she force me to run 10 kilometers.
She does not force me to do anything. Rather, she gives me accurate guidance after considering my condition.
She gives me plenty of rest, water when I need it, and massages. …… Honestly, she’s perfect for me.
I have no complaints.
But–
I pretended to be asleep, ignoring Rin’s pleas, and turned over in the opposite direction from where she was.
I can’t see Rin, but I can feel her sharp gaze on my back as she says, “Towa-kun?”
A shiver runs down my spine, but I decide to ignore it.
It might be said that ignoring a beautiful girl who offers you her devotion is not a very good idea.
But I can’t help it, it’s …… for my mental health.
It’s not that I’m complaining, but I’ve reached my limit …….
“Shu … Shu …”
“You can’t …… breathe like that in your sleep, you know. I can see that you’re trying to act. The rhythm of your breathing isn’t consistent, and it’s ……
Rin grabs my wrist.
It’s a little chilly, so I can feel the body heat radiating from Rin’s thin fingers.
The heat seems to spread gradually from the place where she grabbed me.
“Towa-kun? Your pulse is getting faster? … Please give up.”
” Shu ……”
“I can’t …… help it anymore. But if …… Towa-kun is going to do that, I have some ideas of my own.”
I’m not very good at pretending to be asleep. ……
I hear Rin’s voice blending with a sigh when she sees me like this.
As I watched with slightly open eyes, Rin sat back down on her knees in front of me.
This is the so-called gymnastic exercise….
It’s a very tight position, and if she moves a little, I could see anything through her shorts. ……
I turned away from the scene, feeling awkward.
Then I heard a chuckle …… and I thought I heard a voice in my ear for some reason.
The sweet smell of a subtle scent of a woman stimulates my sense of smell.
It’s a strange mixture of anxiety and anticipation that makes my heart beat fast and furiously, making it somewhat difficult to breathe.
“Towa-kun …?”
Rin whispered in my ear.
I felt my body tremble a little as her breathing brushed against my ear.
“………………”
“‘Wake up or I’ll play a prank on you.”
“Whew,” a breath blew into my ear and I jumped up on the spot.
It’s just that I was in such a hurry to get up that I lost my balance and fell on my butt right there.
Moreover, I hit my head against the wall….
“Are you okay? It’s going to be alright…”
“I’m fine ……. You don’t have to pet me! …… I’m not a kid!”
I wanted to make a complaint.
Rin gently stroked my head as if she were caring for a child.
Even though I refused to let her pet me, she seemed to have no intention of stopping.
As expected, she is a goddess full of compassion.
Well, she was the one who caused me to hit my head….
“Hey, Rin. Isn’t it cowardly to act like this …… ?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. I don’t know what’s cowardly about it. Or was there something …… you were aware of?”
She smiled at me, and I smiled at her.
I swore to myself and scratched my head.
“It’s nothing, ……. It’s probably just my imagination.”
“I’m hope it’s just my imagination.”
Rin’s clear expression of “I’m not doing anything” makes me laugh unintentionally.
Huh, I always feel like I’m being carried along by Rin’s pace and then being made to dance in the palm of her hand. ……
It’s not a matter of feeling, it’s a matter of …… definitely …….
I shrugged my shoulders at my simple thought process.
“Well, let’s get started. I’ll help you as I did yesterday, so let’s start with some flexibility exercises.”
“Wait a minute.”
Rin tilted her head at my words.
“I’ll just tell you what, ……. I’m going to do today’s exercise by myself. ……”
“I think it’s too early for that.”
“I’ve been taught for a few days now, so …… I’ll probably be fine.”
” A novice’s inexperience is bad for you.”
“I’m a professional. ……”
“It’s impossible, so I reject it.”
My resistance is fragile and dissipates.
Since I really said it, now…
I’m in trouble.
“Um, Towa-kun …… do you hate it that much?”
“I don’t hate it ……. I appreciate that Rin pushes me in order to help me with exercises ………… no, it still seems to be a problem …….”
“I’m not sure what you mean. If there’s something wrong, you have to tell me, okay?”
“Um …”
The reason I’ve been shying away from it for a while now.
It’s because she is touching me when I’m supposed to be exercising: …….
So I’m really not going to be here and say, ” Your b*****s, your b*****s! I’m not worried about your b*****s touching me! I want to say it out loud. “
But … of course, I can’t say that.
If I say this, I’ll be admitting that I’m ‘conscious’.
That’s why I ——
“You know, ……. Rin you should be a little more aware of your own attractiveness. If you keep that kind of distance from everyone, you’ll end up making more misunderstandings.”
The only thing I could do was to give her a hard time, pretending as if I didn’t like it.
The vague distance between me and Rin.
A thin, fragile wall …… that looks like it could break at any moment is like…. the distance between me and Rin.
If I reach for them, I can reach them.
If I wanted to, I could.
The only thing that keeps me from doing so is my willpower and caution …….
Rin, unaware of my feelings, smiles at me.
“Don’t worry. I’m not going to do this to anyone. The only one I will do this to is Towa-kun …….”
Rin says words that disrupt my feelings in no time at all.
If I let go, I’m immediately trapped.
And when I let go again, it instantly returns.
It’s like a game of cat and mouse.
I bit my lip as I looked at the umbrella in the doorway.
Then I closed my eyes and breathed heavily.
People eventually get bored. It’s the same with this kind of thing.
Yes, feelings are such things. …… There is no shape, there is nothing.
There is no way to confirm its existence.
That’s why, one day they will disappear.
I say this over and over again in my head, as if to etch it into my heart.
But for now… Until the time when she gets bored with it, I’ll make a compromise…
“I have no choice. Do what you want with me. ……”
I shrugged and sighed.
Rin just stared at me with a kind look in her eyes.
(TLN: He turned negative real fast.)
