3rd Punch [Video]

[Well… that method definitely wasn’t Akihiko’s preferred way to break the news gently to the rest of the camp. Now, to deal with the aftermath…]

Don’t worry, everyone. We’re not gonna throw in the towel without a fight. We’ve got this.

[He falls quiet for a minute, contemplating, and then tries his best to display a reassuring smile to the network.]

Hey, what do you guys like to do for fun? There’s a bunch of clubs in my school, and those are great for teambuilding and meeting new people.

So, I was thinking… Why don’t we start up some clubs right here? Like swimming, archery, boxing, or anything else you’re into! There can even be a book club, if sports aren’t your thing. Maintaining mental strength is important too.

[Though he can’t help quipping next with some personal bias.]

Of course, we can’t let up with our training, especially now, so make sure you guys find a good balance between the two, okay?

Well... I still need to devote a lot of time to training. And now I'll be teaching you, so... [He smiles encouragingly.] Make sure you don't slack off, Ryoji, or I'll go harder on you!

...Who am I even supposed to go out with, anyway? We can't do very much here, in that context. There are so many other people around, all the time...

I'm gonna work on developing a training regime for you. Running and stretching are really simple, so we can start with those, and work our way up.

[Watch him sound like Mitsuru now.]

Amino acids are organic compounds made out of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen molecules. You know those elements, right? They're pretty much the foundation of the human body. Anyway, you can get energy from amino acids, which you need for basic function, and much more.

[Akihiko grins.] That's the spirit! Keep at it, and you'll definitely get stronger! When do you wanna start?

I won't!

...J-Just as long as we get breaks eery so often.

Even then, there are lots of girls to talk to! I'm sure you'll find someone you're interested in eventually!

I see. It makes a lot of sense to build up the exercises slowly.

[Wow. A lot of that went over his head, but he at least can understand that amino acids are important.

He smiles back easily.]

As soon as we can! Whenever you're not busy, honestly. Maybe the day after tomorrow?

[He can't help smirking, even as he replies.] Yeah, I got it...

...Maybe. [He doubts it, and that shows on his face, as well as in his tone.] We'll see.

[Akihiko has done a lot of studying on the human body, for obvious purposes... He's like a crack addict.]

All right, then! Do you know where Cabin 1 is? We can meet here, and run a path through the rest of the cabins. Morning or evening's the best time to go, so your body doesn't dehydrate too fast.

[...You do know that Ryoji's going to start trying to promote you to the girls around here, don't you, Akihiko?]

That sounds like a good idea! Is the morning okay?

[He's usually up pretty early. Even if he needs more sleep as an actual human now, he hasn't completely combated his insomnia problems.]

[oh god yes please let that happen and there goes Akihiko muse to run off and hide in the corner oops

SPIN THE BOTTLE!!]

Yeah, sure! I'll see you outside, at 8AM. Make sure you get some rest the night before, so you can wake up refreshed and ready to go!

[Aki can help with that too! :D Midnight runs, yeah!!]

[Ryoji will make it happen. He doesn't break any promises!

IT SHALL BE DONE!]

For sure! I'll see you later, Sempai!
