Hoshi

p3
We're going to take a bath first...
Don't drink too much before dinner!?

p4
Don't worry ♥
Go take your bath already!

87
p1

p2
Hmm~~~... Summer ♥
Mm...
//Hmm...

p3
Ow...
Ouch-ch-ch...

p4
Hmm...?
Huh?

88
p1
pres; You had a nice sleep
nb: Kakaka...
riki: P... President...?
pres: Aozora-kun is taking a bath with Hijiri

p2
Even though we're right next to the gym...
Carrying you was really rough, you know!?

p3
riki: I don't really grasp the situation well...
//riki: But I guess I'm sorry
nb: Gahahaha...
pres: Well, it's understandable!

p4
pres: A towel and a change of clothes are over there, go wash your face at least!
//pres: Don't go in the bathroom! Do it in the kitchen
riki: Uh... Yes

89
p1
Ouch-ch-ch...

p2
Sparring... Wasn't a walk in the park

p3
But even if I lost consciousness, I held out until the end...

p4
I can't believe... myself...!!

90
p1
riki: Thank you... for everything
pres: No problem at all!
//pres: Here, join me for a drink

p2
riki: Yeah, but...
pres: What... You don't need to be losing weight anymore, right? Come on!

p3
Well... Just one, then

p4
gulp...

p5
gulp glug glug

p6
nb: Fuwaaa!
I- It’s good, a beer after so long...
//It's way too good! (small): Although it stings...

91
p1
pres: Wahahaha... It's been a while since I saw a guy enjoy his beer so much!
pres: Here, one more!
riki: No, from here, it's tea...
riki: Or I won't be able to stop

p2
hijiri: Come on~~~ Aozora-chan, stay still!
nb: Kya x3
ao: But~~~~ It's ticklish~~~~!

p3
There~~~ I got you~~~
Kya kya!
riki: ...It's been a long time... Since I've heard Aozora laugh so happily

p4
Hijiri too has been living alone with me for as long as she can remember...
She's probably happy that our family seems to have grown!

92
p1
pres: Stop by from time to time to hang out!
riki: Yes!

p2
So... How was it?
Boxing!

p3
Well...
It was rougher than I imagined!

p4
Kakaka... Can't do nothing about it!
Aiming for the pro test all of a sudden is an unlikely thing to begin with!

93
p1
President, you've done boxing too, right?
Sorry, I'm not familiar with that world...

p2
Hell yeah!
It's unfortunate... But I couldn't take it farther than East Asia though!

p3
pres: I was late starting too... I was 25!
riki: Eh!?
pres: Back then everyone laughed at me, "What can you do at that age?"

p4
But it's an old tale that you have to be young to be a boxer!
Now, if you look at it scientifically, a boxer's growth period is 10 years after he starts

94
p1
I see...
//But... I've always gotten C's in gym
nb: Hehe...

p2
Wahahaha...
You were worried about that!?

p3
pres: There are plenty of famous boxers who got bad grades in gym!
riki: S... Seriously!?

p4
Alright, let me ask you...
Have you ever tried anything with all your strength in a PE class?

p5
Even to the point you might die!?

95
p1
Well... I wouldn't go that far...
nb: Haha...
I thought it was useless to begin with...

p2
Well, see!
In other words, you just went with the flow and got your C's!

p3
With marathon runners or boxers, you can't tell until you try

p4
Have you ever run 42.195 km in school?
Have you ever gone crazy and fought without caring if you'd die?

p5
Besides, even when people are convinced they're putting out 100% of their effort, they're not
Because there's a limiter in the brain

96
p1
Naturally, there are exceptions!
For example, the inhuman strength that comes out during a fire

p2
riki: When a grandma gets out of the burning house carrying her dresser...
//riki: That?
pres: That!

p3
The brain gets excited and the levels of adrenaline and dopamine surge
Until the limiter is released, in theory, there are still 200 kg of power left in the biceps

p4
Most athletes are desperate to draw on that potential capacity!
nb: Kakaka...
In desperation, they even try things like autosuggestion ♥

97
p1
But it's not something you can do with clever tricks
Uneasiness or fear cause the defensive instinct to strengthen
//Excess adrenaline gets produced and the body ends up stiffening!

p2
I don't know if it's our national characteristic... But I think it happens often with Japanese
When the real thing comes, they're eliminated without ever showing their real strength... Doesn't it happen often!?

p3
Suppose that among them... There was a boxer who could enhance his condition by easily generating plenty of dopamine?

p4
riki: He'd be... strong, wouldn't he?
//riki: I mean, he's not ordinary...
pres: He would, right? You could say, it's the ultimate talent!

98
p1
And what if...
It was you?

p2
Huh?

p3
When in a desperate situation...
For example, the body moves rapidly... Everything appears to be in slow motion in front of your eyes...

p4
That sort of things... It happens to you often, doesn't it?

99
Ah...!

100
p1
In other words you, who can summon your full potential when at your utmost limits
Have a talent as a boxer

p2
But it's possible that you could break your body with a single wrong step...
Training your body every day is essential!

p3
S... Someone like me...

p4
Has a talent for boxing...!?

101
p1/2

p3
Aozora-chan! Are you in the water all the way to the shoulders?
I'm counting to ten----

p4
Aozora... -chan?

102
p1
Ah!
You're asleep!?

p2
Oh boy, that's dangerous!
You could drown...

p3
ao: Mm~~~...
hiji: Oh man...

p4
What a cute sleeping face...

p5
Mm...
...ma...

103
p1
Mama...

p2
---Aozora... -chan

p3
...He's so little, and yet ---all this time...
All this time he's been hiding his painful feelings...!

On that day, he---
