One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Watch out, your arms are starting to drop.

Isn't this a bit too intense?!

I'm…not gonna…make it, zura…

We have to really push ourselves today to make up for not practicing at all the past two days.

Sounds like the fallen angel Yohane's become a sullen angel instead! Get it?! Ahaha!

I'm glad you're calling me Yohane, but I am not sullen!

This is totally a walk in the park for me!

You say that, but I can see your arms shaking from here, Kasumi.

No looking!

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight… Okay, that's enough!

W-We're done, finally. Rina-chan Board says, “Exhausted.”

Of course we're tired, we've been going like this since morning.

What are you talking about? Training isn't done yet. Next up is a run around the island.

I-It's not over yet?

That's what I said. Now let's get moving!

Y-You demon!

If you have time to whine then you have time to move those legs. One, two, one, two.

Now this is what I call a training camp! I'm all fired up!

Watch me cross the finish line first!

You're pretty fired up, Eli-chi. It can't just be the training camp that's got you like this, right?

Nozomi, you didn't feel anything when you saw Aqours' dance for their new promo video?

Hmm, we might be on the same page about that.

Seeing something like that would fire anybody up. We won't get left behind.

*Giggle* Ah, the fire of youth.

[Fade in/out.]

We finally got to get some good practice in like a proper training camp.

*Giggle* Although, it was Spartan-level training.

But now we're feeling that satisfying kind of exhaustion.

Yeah, there's that feeling of achievement after giving it our all. This feeling really never gets old.

So, Shioriko, how did you find your first training camp?

Actually, there is something I'd like to ask you all first. Do your training camps always end up this eventful?

Well, it is not as if they are uneventful, but this time was a first for all of us as well!

Ahaha… Y-Yeah, you're right!

That is a huge relief to hear.

Back to my thoughts on the training camp… Well, regardless of all that happened, I did also learn from this experience.

Was there really anything to learn?

*Chuckle* I'm sure what I learned is part of the norm for all of you, but I feel that everyone working together to overcome a challenge is an extremely important teaching.

That, and, while it may not be appropriate for a training camp review…

I had so much fun!

I'm glad to hear that!

Everyone! Dinner's ready!

Yay! I'm starving!

Tonight, we also have some of my special curry to perfectly complement the barbecue!

This is what a training camp is all about!

Whoa, it all looks amazing!

It doesn't just look the part. I made this curry, so you know it's absolutely delicious!

Try some of my special, charcoal-grilled spare ribs on the curry. I grilled some tomatoes too.

Oooh, they're so juicy and delicious!

Oh, Kanan, have some more spare ribs! Everyone, eat up! Kanata's cooking is in a class of its own.

Oh gosh, my hands keep going back for more!

Why do things taste so good when they're grilled on hot coals?

The lumps of meat shed tears as they are scorched by the fires of the underworld… Of course it's gonna be great.

Having meat scorched by fires like that sounds kinda scary…

It's fine as long as it tastes good! C'mon, Ruby, have some more.

Yep, yep! Keep eating, everyone!

*Chuckle* Curry plus spare ribs equals a calorie bomb. I'm gonna make everyone, except for me of course, chubby by doing this…

Since we worked out so much, we can eat more than usual without worrying about our figures!

For sure! Not a problem!

Oh! I want another spare rib!

There is no need to panic. I will give you some of mine. Here you are.

*Giggle* Thanks, Dia!

You worked so hard during the video shoot, so eat as much as you need to restore your stamina.

Hm? Huh? What?

Kasumi, the food will be gone before you know it.

No! I want some too!

Don't freak out. We made pleeenty of everything.

We even have dessert too.

Wow, are those mochi balls?

They sure are. For toppings, we've got red bean paste, brown sugar syrup, and soy flour—handmade by my grandma!

Her grandma is a great cook. The rice bran pickles she makes are amazing too.

I've never had that kind of pickles before.

Neither had I, but I was surprised by how good they were when I tried them.

Really? Then maybe I should ask Ai to share some sometime.

Yeah, you should try them.

It's so lively, kinda like a festival.

Spending time with everyone sure is fun, huh?

Yeah, we should have another joint training camp once the Prez gets back.
