The main theme of this chapter still relates to Itsuki’s weight loss

Currently, under the big tree next to the Shuchi'in Academy field.

"Hah... Let's take a break."

"Eh? Asada-san, are you tired?"

"Yes, I slept late last night, and my physical strength is a bit lacking today... Don't worry, I can still finish the regular training."

"Then let me rest with you too!"

The two of them sat on the grass very closely, their moist and warm skins gently touching each other.

"The weather is nice today, the breeze feels very comfortable..."

"I think so too! ...By the way, Asada-san, I recently heard about a method that can quickly restore energy! Would you like to try it?"

"In what way?"

"It's..."

Yotsuba pressed Shinichi against the tree, then lowered her head.

"Hmm?!"

After a minute of not being able to breathe.

"...Pfft! Ehehe, how are you feeling? Do you feel energetic?"

"Yotsuba, where did you hear about this method..."

"I forgot! I just remember that it seems to be part of the 'Mana Refilling Technique'? It can make people energetic quickly, so I used it on Asada-san!"

"I don't know what to say to you, but thank you. Also, next time don't be too rough... It made me scared and my heart beat fast."

"My heart is beating fast too~"

Yotsuba nudged him playfully, gently tickling Shinichi's chin with her hair tie, and shrunk half of her body into his embrace, smiling happily.

Shinichi looked panicked.

"Wait! Don't come now—"

"Hah? What hard thing is this... Ahhh!"

"Sorry, it's all because of the rushing blood flow. There's nothing I can do..."

"Ah, uh... I, I know, Asada-san is a boy! I just kissed you again, so it's normal... Um, it's normal..."

Yotsuba turned around, her face turning red, and she didn't know where to put her hands, so she could hold them in front of her chest, like holding a stick.

Shinichi hid his face and sighed.

"Don't be embarrassed, it'll make me embarrassed too."

"Impossible! Even wearing pants, I can still feel it..."

Shinichi had mixed emotions.

(It seems like I have to dig into Learning Sources when I get back, otherwise, sooner or later something will happen if I hold it back too long...)

Yotsuba suddenly said, "If it doesn't go down, won't you be able to run?"

Shinichi noticed something. "Don't you think..."

Pulling the rabbit ears headband down to her eyes, Yotsuba gathered her courage and said shyly.

"There shouldn't be anyone in the nearby forest right now..."

"Hey, hey, hey, hey! Your idea is very dangerous, please stop for a moment!"

To prevent himself from not having enough energy to finish the rest of the training, Shinichi stopped the girl.

Yotsuba looked like an innocent fool, but she had reached an age where she was interested in such things.

Back at the Nakano's house.

"Mhm..."

Looking at the unusual and very large omelet rice in front of her, Itsuki hesitated for a moment, but ultimately resigned herself to her fate.

"Never mind, let's start the weight loss plan at noon."

The plan for today starts in the morning, if the stomach is not filled first, there will be no energy at the end of the day!

Students like Yotsuba and Shinichi might go to the field to sweat out after a full breakfast, right?

If she wants to be like them who are currently working hard on exercising, she has to start with sufficient food!

"Alright!"

Convincing herself with the right reasons, Itsuki took her utensils and finished a plate of omelet rice for two in less than ten minutes.

Nino noticed this, and wasn't interested in reminding her.

After eating, and Ichika, who was completely awake, finished doing her makeup, they went out together.

After all, Ebata was their father's driver and housekeeper. They usually relied on trains and walking to get to school.

Chatting and laughing along the way, it didn't take long before they arrived at Shuchi'in Academy, Nino and Miku went together, Ichika Itsuki Itsuki went separately, and the four of them parted ways in front of the shoe lockers.

After taking a long detour, Itsuki walked to Class B of the 2nd Year. The students were already seated, and the classroom was bustling.

Including Shinichi, who had finished his morning exercise, was chatting with Fumino sitting next to him.

"Good morning." Itsuki greeted with a smile, and they stopped talking and looked at her.

"Good morning."

"Good morning, Itsuki~"

Itsuki put down her school bag and sat down, unconsciously staring at Shinichi's broad but not muscular back.

It seemed like Shinichi had just returned from the field. A blush could be seen on his ears and cheeks. Even after being wiped with a towel, his messy short hair was still slightly damp, and the veins on his arms and neck looked masculine.

The faint smell of sweat piercing through her nose made her heart beat faster.

(If I exercise regularly, my body will look really good...) Thinking this, Itsuki diverted her gaze from Shinichi's broad but not strong back, and then looked at Fumino next to him.

Fumino had a small oval face, slim hands and feet, and soft and cute features. Although her chest was flat, the lines on her legs and waist were natural, perfectly explaining what a golden ratio and slimness were.

Looking back at herself, her plump thighs and chubby stomach were incomparable to anything but her large breasts.

Itsuki sighed inwardly, but interrupted the conversation that had resumed between the two of them.

"Fumino."

"What is it?" Fumino didn't mind, and asked Itsuki curiously besides Shinichi.

She suddenly clasped her hands together and asked seriously:

"Can you tell me how you maintain such a slim figure?"

She initially wanted to compliment Fumino, but there was no irony in it, and she was very jealous of her slimness.

Unexpectedly, the scene became awkward for a few seconds, Fumino's expression froze on her face and the sparkle in her eyes slowly disappeared.

Then Shinichi burst into laughter.

"Ahaha... ugh!"

Before he could finish a word, a fist was buried in his stomach, and he had to exhale from his lungs.

A shadow covered Fumino's face, she slowly pulled back her hand and smiled thinly.

"What, do you have a problem with my figure? Don't you like me being slim and flat-chested?"

Shinichi sighed, "I really like it..."

"In that case, be quiet." Her voice said softly, and Fumino then turned and looked at Itsuki strangely.

"Itsuki, why did you ask this question?"

"Uh..." Seeing her still clenched fist with lingering fear, Itsuki decided to be careful in answering to avoid the same fate.

"My weight has increased recently. I wanted to say that Fumino looks very light, and her arms, thighs, and waist are also very slender. That's why I wanted to ask if you pay attention to your eating habits and daily life."

"What if you cut off those damn big breasts?"

Fumino spoke too quickly, and Itsuki didn't hear her clearly.

"What?"

"Nothing, it's okay~"

Under Itsuki's nervous gaze, Fumino averted her gaze from her breasts and thought about her question seriously.

"Well, although I don't think I'm as light as that..."

"It's true, you just told me that your weight has increased recently—" Shinichi raised his head tremblingly, speaking with a hoarse voice halfway through.

Even without looking, Fumino held her chin and continued to think.

"My work and rest life are very ordinary, and my eating habits are not special. I used to want to lose weight, but my weight didn't go down during the weight loss period. However, after I stopped losing weight, my weight returned to normal. It's really strange..."

After thinking for a long time, she scratched her cheek out of embarrassment: "Sorry, it seems like I can't give you any advice."

"It's okay. But honestly, I'm quite jealous of you, Fumino..." Helplessly shaking her head, Itsuki took out a meat bun from her school bag.
