The beast tamer exiled from the hero’s party and the cat eared girl from the strongest race meet
Next was Al-san’s turn in charge, so it was time for physical education, and we went outside.
By the way, Kanade and the others weren’t here.
They had stayed inside the house to change into outfits suitable for moving their bodies.
But… what exactly counted as “suitable outfits”?
Apparently, Al-san had prepared them…
And because it was Al-san, I couldn’t help but suspect she had prepared something strange.
“What’s with that look?”
“What kind of outfit is considered suitable?”
“A suitable outfit is a suitable outfit. Look. When you go into the sea, you change into a swimsuit, right? It’s the same thing. When you exercise, you must wear that.”
“Hmmm…”
Whenever Al-san says something, it instantly starts to sound suspicious.
I glanced at Tina and Nokia-san.
“……”
Both of them slightly flushed and looked away, as if avoiding my questioning.
…That only made me more uneasy.
Just what kind of outfit had been prepared?
“Rain, sorry to keep you waiting—nyah!”
I turned around…
And froze in shock.
“This outfit is kind of small… or flashy…”
“There isn’t much fabric, especially around the lower body.”
“H-hauauau… I-I’m so embarrassed…”
To varying degrees, everyone looked embarrassed.
And it was no wonder.
The white shirts were very simple in design.
There were no patterns at all, and they didn’t look loose.
Because of that, their body lines were clearly visible.
And for the bottoms… short pants.
Short… maybe?
They were more like very short.
The navy-blue fabric was almost like underwear, making it hard to know where to look.
“Mmm, mmm. You all look quite good, don’t you?”
“Mother, what kind of clothes are these?”
“I told you. They’re for exercising… in other words, bloomers!”
“...Bloomers...”
It had a strange ring to it.
Hearing the name, it didn’t feel lewd.
Rather, it started to seem like this was the proper attire for physical activity.
“Whiiine...”
By the way, Sakura wasn’t wearing anything this time.
Apparently, they couldn’t find her size.
She looked a little lonely somehow…
Could it be that she actually wanted to try wearing it?
“All right! Then let us begin my lesson!”
Al-san clapped her hands, drawing everyone’s attention.
“The next lesson is physical education. The goal is to move your bodies and build healthy physiques. So, first, we’ll run ten laps around the town!”
“No, no, no!”
Sora and Luna—
along with Finia and Tina—shook their heads, saying that was impossible.
“Mother, you know, right? Sora and the others may be of the strongest species, but their stamina is worse than humans.”
“If we ran ten laps around the town, we’d collapse and die halfway through…”
“I-I don’t really have confidence in running that much… ah—s-sorry for talking back!?”
“H-hey, that’s way too much for Nina, don’t you think?”
“Mmm…”
Everyone objected at once, and even Al-san hesitated.
Judging by the fact she didn’t say, “Sorry, sorry, I was just teasing,” she seemed serious.
Kanade and Tania would probably be fine, but…
For the group just mentioned, it would definitely be too much.
“Then… shall we make it just one lap?”
“Um… Al? If we run even one lap around town, we’ll probably be exhausted already.”
“Ngh…”
Nokia-san’s reasonable point left Al-san at a loss for words.
I could faintly hear her muttering, “Kids these days are so soft,” but…
Honestly, even Al-san herself might drop out halfway.
Running a full lap around town is pretty tough.
“I suppose it can’t be helped… then we’ll just do some warm-up exercises.”
“Please do that from the start.”
“Now, form pairs of two.”
At Al-san’s signal, everyone paired up.
Kanade and Tania. Sora and Luna. Nina and Rifa. Finia and Sakura.
And then…
“Oh? It seems I’m left over.”
With a gentle smile, Iris said so.
“Mmm… very well. Then pair up with one of us.”
“Yes, understood. Then…”
Iris stepped up beside me and pressed close.
“Please take care of me, Rain-sama.”
“W-what!?”
Everyone stared wide-eyed in shock.
Kanade, Tania, Sora, and Luna—
especially those four—began radiating dangerous intent.
“Iris… that’s kind of unfair, don’t you think?”
“Yes, it is. Pairing up with Rain… weren’t you aiming for that from the start?”
“Oh my, whatever do you mean? I merely happened to be alone, and merely asked the conveniently available Rain-sama to be my partner.”
“Then Sora will switch. Sora will be Rain’s partner, and Iris can pair up with Luna.”
“No, no, this is where I should step forward. I shall be Rain’s partner.”
Huh?
This situation is starting to look dangerous…
“I’ll be Rain’s partner!”
“No, me!”
“Sora, obviously!”
“I shall!”
“I will!”
“Uuughhh!!!”
They glared at each other, sparks practically flying.
“It seems the time has come to decide a winner… fufu, come at me!”
“I’m not gonna lose!”
And so, a massive brawl began.
Meanwhile, the remaining members calmly continued their warm-up exercises.
So laid-back…
“Rain.”
“…Yes?”
“Fufufu, it’s hard being a popular man, isn’t it?”
“I have absolutely no idea how to respond to that, so please stop…”
