"All right." Yukino Yukinoshita lowered her hands as well. "When we get home, throw away all those things you hid."
"Huh?" Dong Yunshan lodged a solemn protest. "I don't remember that being one of the conditions for victory before we started."
"Whether it was a condition or not, you should throw those things away." Yukino Yukinoshita's breathing was slightly hurried. "Throwing them away would benefit both your mental and physical health."
"Those things played a major role in my physical and mental development." Dong Yunshan remained firm. "I don't use them much now, but I can't just throw them away... Wait, are we talking about the same things?"
"You said magazines, manga, and study materials." Yukino Yukinoshita repeated what Dong Yunshan had said earlier. "The kind that needed to be hidden."
"Bodybuilding magazines, fighting manga, and fitness study materials." Dong Yunshan raised one eyebrow. "What about them?"
Yukino Yukinoshita's expression froze. The change in the adorable blush on her fair cheeks was quite obvious. "...Then why did you hide them?"
"I was afraid people would misunderstand." Dong Yunshan struck a muscle-flexing pose. "The covers of bodybuilding magazines are all like this. If my room was full of that stuff, people could easily get the wrong idea, so I put them away."
"What about the fighting manga?"
"To appreciate the beauty of muscles. Especially Dragon Ball; it gets your blood pumping and makes you even more motivated to work out." Dong Yunshan paused. "But the story is so good that I get absorbed in it and neglect my training, so I have to hide it somewhere out of the way to stop myself from reading it."
"And the study materials..."
"Please refer to the bodybuilding magazines."
Yukino Yukinoshita avoided Dong Yunshan's gaze and looked away. "...Is the supermarket this way?"
