Two hours passed very quickly as we trained one group after another.
After finishing the last set of leg presses, Ichinose Honami got off the equipment, his steps a little wobbly.
She held the equipment and panted for a while. The sweat on her forehead slid down her cheeks. Sports Uniform's back was wet, and her hair tied into a ponytail was a little scattered and stuck to her neck.
Although she usually exercised, this was the first time she had been practicing for two hours straight. It was as if all the strength in her body had been drained, and she didn't even have the strength to raise her hands.
Kazehara Tetsu handed over a bottle of water.
"Drink slowly."
Ichinose Honami took it, unscrewed the lid, drank several sips, then exhaled a long breath, and slumped down on the rest chair next to him, not even bothering to say anything.
Kazehara Tetsu looked at her extremely tired look, smiled, and sat down next to her.
"That's it for today. It's the first time I've been practicing for so long, and I'm almost done. If I keep practicing, I'll get up tomorrow and my whole body will hurt, which will affect the rest of my life."
"Well..."
Ichinose Honami nodded. She originally wanted to support two more sets, but her body was really not up to par. After hearing this, she felt like she was being amnesty, "Okay, I really can't practice anymore."
She lowered her head and looked at her slightly trembling legs, which made her feel funny.
"You talk about perseverance, but in the end, it only took two hours, and it turned out like this."
Ichinose Honami stuck out his tongue, "It seems that the perfect ratio is further away than I thought."
"It's already pretty good."
Kazehara Tetsu stood up and patted her shoulder, "This is the first time I can hold on for two hours, and the intensity is not low. If it had been someone else, I might not have been able to hold on. Take your time with the rest, it's not something you can practice in a day."
"You go take a shower first and change your clothes. You're all sweaty. It's time to catch a cold when you go out. I'll wait for you outside."
"Okay."
Ichinose Honami picked up her bag, dragged her still aching legs, and entered Changing Room.
There is a shower in the gym, and the hot water washes over the body, which relieves a lot of the fatigue and soreness after two hours of training.
After washing, she put on her original light-colored Down Jacket, straightened her hair again, and tied it into her usual style, and then she came out fresh and fresh.
The two people returned the keys to the lockers at the front desk, walked out of the gym, and took the escalator down.
When I walked out of the gate of Shopping Mall, the winter afternoon sun shone lightly on my body, and it no longer had the warmth of noon.
The wind on the street was stronger than when it came, picking up the fallen leaves at my feet and swirling them.
"Ah... after practicing, my whole body feels light."
Ichinose Honami stretched out, his face was rosy and satisfied after exercise, "Although I am tired, it feels really good."
She turned her head and looked at Kazehara Tetsu beside her.
"By the way, do you have any other plans for today?"
"Not yet."
Kazehara Tetsu thought for a while and said, "I originally came out to practice with you. Now that I'm done practicing, I don't have any special arrangements."
"Then..."
Ichinose Honami's eyes lit up, she crossed her arms and tilted her head, "Let's just go shopping together?"
"It's okay to go back anyway. Although it's cold, I won't feel it even if I keep moving."
Ichinose Honami was in a good mood, "Shopping Mall, I usually just leave after shopping, and I haven't gone shopping properly. Today, let's take a walk around and see if there are any interesting stores."
"Okay."
Kazehara Tetsu agreed readily, "You lead the way, and I'll accompany you."
"Okay."
Ichinose Honami looked very happy. She turned around, looking between the surrounding shops and Signpost, and began to wonder which one to start shopping in first.
"Let me see where to go..."
She murmured in a low voice and pointed her fingers, "This floor is for clothing. There are bookstores and groceries above. There seem to be a few new ones downstairs..."
As she was thinking about it, the phone in her pocket suddenly vibrated.
She took out her phone and glanced at the screen.
It was a message in the class group, and immediately after, another private message popped up.
Ichinose Honami After seeing the content clearly, the calculating interest on his face visibly faded away.
Her brows frowned slightly, and her eyes that were bright just now were now filled with helplessness and discouragement.
She stared at the phone for a while, then raised her head and looked at Kazehara Tetsu, her expression apologetic and embarrassed.
"What's wrong?"
"Something happened in the class."
Ichinose Honami sighed and shook the phone screen towards him, his tone full of helplessness, "They said there was a bit of a conflict and a stalemate. I have to go over and help resolve it..."
She didn't elaborate on what happened, and Kazehara Tetsu didn't ask any further questions.
"Then go ahead."
Kazehara Tetsu said very calmly, without the slightest hint of displeasure, "The class matters are important."
"But..."
Ichinose Honami But she didn't leave immediately. She looked at him, the apology on her face became even heavier, "Obviously, we just agreed that we would go shopping together, but before we even finished talking, I'm going to leave and leave you here alone... How bad is this."
"What's this?"
Kazehara Tetsu smiled and waved his hand, "We don't have to worry about shopping this time."
"The two of us can spend more time together in the future. The winter vacation has just begun, and there are still many days left. When you sort out things in class, we can make another appointment at any time. We can hang out for as long as we want."
"But there are some things that must be resolved now without delay. Conflicts will become deeper the longer they are delayed. If you don't go over now and let them make trouble on their own, small things will become big things later, and it will be harder to end."
"Go ahead and leave me alone."
Ichinose Honami After hearing what he said, I felt a little embarrassed in my heart, so I relaxed a little and apologized, but it still didn't go away.
She was silent for a while, and finally nodded.
"Okay, I'll go there first, but..."
She changed the subject, raised her head, and looked at him seriously, "I missed the appointment today. I will make it up to you later."
"Compensation?"
Kazehara Tetsu was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "It's not like compensation or anything."
"You didn't do anything wrong. If there is a situation in the class, you should deal with it. It is only natural."
He spread his hands and said, "There is no need for us to be so open and talk about compensation."
"That won't work."
Ichinose Honami became stubborn. She raised her chin slightly with an expression that said, "I have the final say on this matter." "I promised to go shopping with you, but I didn't do it. This is what I owe you. If I owe you, I have to pay it back. You can't refuse."
Kazehara Tetsu Looking at her face that was clearly apologizing but still showing a strong posture, I couldn't help but laugh and cry for a moment.
He found that he seemed to have no way to deal with this girl.
"Okay..."
In the end, he raised his hands in a surrender gesture, "Then, I'll listen to you."
"I look forward to your compensation."
He deliberately prolonged his voice, "I hope you don't keep me waiting too long."
"No."
Seeing his promise, Ichinose Honami smiled again on his face, "I will come to you as soon as I finish handling the matter."
"Keep your word."
"Well, I'm leaving then. Don't stay out alone for too long. Come back as soon as it's cold. Dormitory."
"Got it."
"Bye."
Ichinose Honami waved to him, turned around, and walked quickly in the other direction.
At the door of Shopping Mall, only Kazehara Tetsu was left alone.
