Chapter 160 Someone Like Her (1/2)

[……Haahhh…… Haahhh…… Y- Yuzuki-san.]

[……Senpai? Are you…… alright?]

When I called out to her even as my breathing turned rough, Yuzuki-san helped while she gently spoke to me.

Drops of sweat trickle down her slightly tanned skin, and Yuzuki-san’s large chest bounces.

Her healthy, well-toned body emphasizes her larger than average breasts and her well-toned buttocks, and combined with Yuzuki-san’s slightly ragged breaths, she looks really stunning.

[……Sorry…… I’m already…… at my limit……]

[T- That’s too fast…… A bit more…… Just a bit more…… Please do your best.]

Heat envelops my body as if my temperature has risen several degrees, and that heat is rushing straight towards me and greatly exhausting my body.

Biting my lip hard, I willed my trembling body, which seems to be reaching its limit, to move.

Receiving Yuzuki-san’s words of encouragement, I tried becoming the embodiment of endurance, as I desperately endure the pain on my lower body.

But even so, I’ve already reached my limit…… my breathing is already ragged, and I feel as if all my strength will disappear if I relax, but it feels as if my body itself is wishing to be released from this suffering.

[……Senpai…… A bit more…… okay?]

[……U- Unnn…… I’ll do…… my best.]

Her flexible fingers touching my body, I could feel encouragement along with her heat transmitting towards me.

I’m trying to keep my mental strength together as if I’m about to collapse, I mustered the last of my strength……

[……N- No more…… I- I’m going to die……]

[We’ve only been running for about 5 kilometers though? As far as I’m concerned, I’d like to go several times over this but……]

[No, you’re mistaken for asking me something like that…… Ahh, my side hurts……]

[Fufufu.]

In contrast to me, who sits down limp and breathing had turned heavy, Yuzuki-san still looks lively.

I guess this really shows the difference between our habits…… Nghh, it really hurts.

[A- Anyway, I’ve really become frailer……I feel like I could go a bit further than this……]

[What with those words that stink like an old man? Besides, you do realize that we still have to get home, right?]

[……Can’t we just teleport?]

[That’s no good!]

The reason why I’m so tired is because I remembered that I haven’t been exercising since I came to this world, which isn’t exactly good for my health, so I thought I’d better get some exercise.

And since there was Yuzuki-san, who runs every day, so I asked if I could run with her…… but I turned like this.

No, I feel like I could go for 10 kilometers if I’m just jogging…… But while I try to keep up with Yuzuki-san’s speed, it feels like I’m running in a marathon.

Well, those people in the track-and-field club are amazing. Her basic endurance is totally different, and even though Yuzuki-san didn’t slow down her face, she seemed to be matching up with me…… It’s quite shameful to be completely outrun by a girl 5 years younger than me.

Incidentally, Yuzuki-san suggested that we take it slow at first, but my pride as a man did its work and told her that it was okay…… This is why I looked like this now.

Yuzuki-san isn’t using Body Strengthening Magic. According to her, “If I use that, then running would lose its meaning.”. I guess that’s the fastidiousness of a track-and-field athlete…… I’m using it though……

I- I guess I’ll forge my body a bit more from now on…… At least until I could properly run……

[Here, Senpai.]

[Unnn? Arehh? A honey lemon?]

[I made it with the ingredients from this world, so that might be called different instead, but the taste and some other stuff were the same.]

[Thanks.]

I gratefully accepted the pseudo-honey lemon that Yuzuki-san offered me.

The sweetness and sourness soak into my tired body and makes me feel like I can still do my best as long as I want to do it…… Even if it’s quite impossible……

[Arehh? Speaking of which…… Where did you get this from?]

[Fufufu, you’ve finally noticed huh? Ta-dah!]

[Whoa, isn’t that a magic box? You’ve also got one, Yuzuki-san!?]

[Ehehe, Lilia-san gave it to me…… Apparently, it’s because “she has lots of money because of Kaito-san”.]

Yuzuki-san proudly takes out her magic box.

Apparently, it was given to her by Lilia-san as a gift because she got lots of money…… but what did she mean when she said it’s because of me? Ahh, I see, it must because of the jewel Isis-san gave her huh……

Seeing Yuzuki-san talking with a smile on her face is somehow making me feel better.

[I see, good for you. That must be why you looked so happy the whole time.]

[Eh? Ah, no, I was happy because…… Senpai came running with me…… You see, it’s more fun to run with someone rather than just running along, right?]

[I see…… Arehh? Aren’t you running together with Aoi-chan?]

[As for Aoi-senpai…… She’s more of a high jumper. She doesn’t really go along with me when it comes to long-distance running.]

Although Yuzuki-san and Aoi-chan are on the same track-and-field club, it seems that they’re participating in different events.

[Rather than that, Senpai!]

[Unnn?]

[What’s with you, how long are you going to call me Yuzuki-san?]

[……Eh?]

[Before I knew it, you’ve been calling Aoi-senpai with “Aoi-chan” instead…… In that case, please call me by my name, Hina, too.]

Suddenly bring her face closer to me, Yuzuki-san asked me to call her by her name.

It’s true that if I only call other people by their name, she might feel uncomfortable.

[Errr, then, I will start calling you Hina-chan.]

[Yes!]

When I called her by name, Hina-chan nodded with a big smile on her face. I felt like my reflexively slacken seeing her puppy-like appearance.

Taking a break while chatting with Hina-chan for a while, when I’ve regained my strength, Hina-chan stands up.

I don’t know if she really enjoys running or not, but she started running while looking behind towards me, saying “Let’s quickly go”……

[Wait, Hina-chan!? Watch your step!]

[Eh? Kyaaahhh!?]

[Hina-chan!?]

There is no such thing as concrete in this world, and the ground isn’t as clean as it is in Japan.

The ground underneath Hina-chan’s feet, which she was about to run to, is rising, and when I hurriedly called out to her, it was already too late and she stumbled and fell.

[Are you okay?]

[Y- Yes…… Somehow—– Nggh!?]

[Hina-chan!?]
