My first ti jogging was one early morning, where the sun had only just appeared. Even though it was so early in the morning, my bodyguard, Mihara-san, was already greeting with a lively smile.
Good morning, Reika-ojousama! Co! Well do our best, starting today!
Good morning I will be in your capable care.
After doing so leg stretches in the garden, we began slowly running around my neighbourhood.
Mihara-san had suggested 3 kilotres for our first day. I told him that I had never run for 3 kilotres before but he told that I had to run at least 3 kilotres for it to have any point, so in the end I had no choice but to bear with it.
We arent worrying about your ti today, so just go at your own pace!
I understand.
Under his encouragent my running was energetic at first, but before long my feet were leaden. My lungs hurt too.
Eh-! Reika-ojousama, whats the matter!?
It hurts.
Weve only just run 500 tres, you know?!
Like I care. I dont think I can run 3 kilotres unless we drop the pace more.
The hot-blooded exercise enthusiast Mihara-san was having none of it though.
Reika-ojousama! Youre running slower than you walk, you know!? Co on!
Impossible. It hurts. I want to give up
I was already heaving before we reached the 1 kilotre mark. I was slumped over as I ran, and my arms looked more like I was dog-paddling than I was running. And my lungs my lungs were burning I swear I could taste blood
Reika-ojousama! Swing your arms more! Co one! One! Two! One! Two!
Mihara-san began to count out a rhythm to encourage as he ran beside .
Dont give in to yourself, Reika-ojousama!
Reika-ojousama! We havent even reached the halfway point! Give it so oomph!
Keep your head up and keep at it! Go! Go! Go!
Mihara-sans voice rang out through the affluent neighbourhood.
Pain Why did had I ever thought this would be a good idea When were the endorphins going to co I kept waiting, but the runners high never ca for Pain Painnnnn
In the end, it ca down to him pushing from behind, but I sohow managed the 3 kilotres back to the house.
With shaking legs, I collapsed onto the garden without a care. The gra.s.s was sharp and p.r.i.c.kly but I couldnt bring myself to bother.
Reika-ojousama! After the jog we still have your stretches!
Impossible I didnt have the energy to get up anymore My heart was pounding dangerously in my chest.
A wide-eyed Oniisama discovered laying around in the garden.
Reika, you okay?
I tried to speak but only strange wheezing noises ca out, so I shook my head instead.
Mihara-san, how far did she run?
Roughly 3 kilotres.
Hmmmm, this bad after just 3 kilotres? said Oniisama, sounding troubled.
Sorry for being useless, you two.
But no need to worry! With daily running shell have the stamina in no ti!
Eh-!? Im going to be doing this daily!?
I wanted to reply but it hurt too much to. Please no, just today was enough already Please, no more running
But Mihara-san had been hired specifically to guard during my jogs. Hiring him based on a whim, and then quitting after one day? I couldnt bring myself to be so selfish But I hated this
The sunlight was getting stronger now so if I lay there I would tan. Sohow gathering the strength to get up, Mihara-san and Oniisama supported as I headed indoors. Inside I lay down again.
Thanks to Mihara-sans hot-blooded pep talk the whole neighbourhood was aware of what a sorry sight I was. And given how much Okaasama cared about face, she was absolutely livid about it. Things were just horrible
Starting from the next day we were driven to a nearby park to do the jogging.
But Okaasama was still in a bad mood. Things were just horrible
The only spot of encouragent ca from Beatrices emails.
Today I ran 5 kilotres!
Today I ran in the evening too!
Thank G.o.d I wasnt alone
I had no choice but to agree to the detox thing to cheer Okaasama up.
I still didnt wanna go But if I said that now Okaasama would finally throw a fit for real. This was my punishnt for shaming her in public.
But at least it was just a detox course. It couldnt be as bad as last years fasting
I arrived with Okaasama at the Kaburagi groups hotel. The hotel porter helped us with our luggage and we were guided into a room where acquaintances of my mother were waiting. They were older won from the upper cla.s.s, and after looking around, many of them had been at the fasting last year. I supposed that a few of them were into dieting fads, and had invited all the rest along. What a pain
That was when I noticed Maihama-san present, who was for so reason looking dressed up. She noticed too, and ca over.
Goodness, you ca too, Reika-san? she said with a challenging look.
Yes. You too, it seems, Maihama-san, I replied with a smile.
Fasting last year, and now a detox this year? You sure are working hard. You must really be desperate for her approval. Masaya-samas Okaasama, I an.
Haah?
You seem to be misunderstanding, but I am simply here to accompany my mother. The shocking addition here is you. For all that you mocked it last year, you seem to be standing right here. How the direction of the wind changes. They say that to slay the general you must first begin with the horse, but just because you yourself are in that position is no reason to project onto . It is offensive.
What was that!?
Hmph. She could glare all she wanted, it wouldnt make her scarier. And once again, her curls were half-baked today.
I bade her gokigenyoh with a smile and then left.
This trip was already turning into sothing annoying though
Oh! Akimi-san! Hiiiii!
I could feel Maihama-san glaring from behind but I ignored it.
When everybody was here, Kaburagis Okaasama appeared on scene with a bang.
