Ch. 31 Ep. 4: Hopes Hidden in Her Notes

The intense training wipes the girls out. Lanzhu flips through her practice notebook, confused as the training was customized to suit everyone's levels. It just so happens to be the practice notebook that she showed you before.

Lanzhu

One, two, three, four, five, too slow! Your pace is dropping! What happened to that energy at the start?! You've still got three sets to go!

Emma

A-Ack… I can't go on… My legs are about to give out!

Lanzhu

The moment when you think you're at your breaking point is your best opportunity to grow! Come on! You can do it!

Emma

Okaaay!

Ayumu

*Huff* *Puff* Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

Shioriko

Ayumu! Are you okay? Reduce the speed of the machine a bit.

Ayumu

But she told me to run at this pace.

Shioriko

It's okay to slow down a little. Lanzhu's not looking right now.

Lanzhu

Shiorikoooooo! When did you become such a bad girl?! I'll tell Kaoruko on you!

Shioriko

Urk! Bringing my sister into this is a cheap move, Lanzhu!

Kanata

Hey, do we really need to lift this up? It's not budging. This thing's a boulder.

Player

Guys! We're heading over to the pool next!

Kasumi

Come to think of it, what about our swimsuits? I didn't bring mine with me!

Lanzhu

No need to fret! We've always got swimsuits ready here. Let's go!

[Fade in/out.]

Everyone

*Huff* *Puff* *Pant*

Player

G-Guys, are you okay?

Kasumi

I've got nothing left… I can't move anymore…

Kanata

My limit… My body's reached its limit…

Rina

I can't feel my arms…

Mia

Rina! Stay with me!

Setsuna

I can't even lift a single finger… Oh, woe is me. I'm so ashamed of myself…

Player

Everyone's in tatters…

Player

I'm sorry! I pushed you all too hard! You won't improve from this, you'll just fall apart. I was the one who was preaching against this, so I'm really, really sorry!

Shizuku

Don't let it get to you. You were only doing this with our best interests in mind. I'm sorry that I couldn't live up to your expectations…

Player

No, that's not true! That's not true at all!

Player

Lanzhu, can we call it a day now? We can, right?

Lanzhu

Hrrrmmm… Fine. There's still the dance lesson to go, but let's finish up here.

Kasumi

Wh-What a relief…

Lanzhu

But we discussed how to come up with training regimens to suit everyone as they are right now. Where did we go wrong?

Player

Oh, that notebook…

Lanzhu

This? I've shown it to you before. It's my special notebook!

Player

I thought so. It's got a different cover design from when I discussed the training with you, so I wasn't sure for a moment. You must have bought a new one.

Lanzhu

I'm sure I'll get through this notebook in a flash as well. When I think about everyone, the ideas for what I want to do won't stop flowing!

Ai

What are you two looking at?

Karin

It's a notebook. Don't tell me that you guys are reviewing your classwork at a time like this?

Lanzhu

I don't need to prepare or review anything! This is my special notebook for me and all of you.

Ai

Whoa, this is really legit! It's filled with notes about training and choreography!

Karin

I get it now, so this is how you've been thinking of training regimens for us. Thank you, Lanzhu.

Lanzhu

*Giggle* Keep those compliments coming!

Ai

Whoaaa! It feels like there's a side of me that I don't know within these notes! You must keep a super close eye on us!

Karin

For sure… Huh? What's this written here? Shopping, a diner, karaoke…?

Lanzhu

Oh, well that's—

Player

That's the stuff Lanzhu wants to do with you guys.

Lanzhu

AHHH!

Player

Huh?! Wh-What's wrong?!

Lanzhu

Why did you have to blurt that out?! I was going to mention it at the perfect time!

Ai

Let's do all of that stuff then. How's this Sunday sound?

Karin

Yeah. Come to think of it, we've never gone out with Lanzhu and Mia for fun before. This is the perfect chance, so let's go!

Ai

That settles it, then! Hey guuuuuuys! Gather 'round!

Ayumu

What is it?

Lanzhu

W-Wait! Is it really okay?

Karin

Of course it is! It's normal for friends to go out together.

Ai

Our training might not have gone exactly to plan today, but…

Ai

…I'm sure it'll be a bunch of fun to go and hang out together! Actually, hanging out must be part of a good training regimen since it's written in this notebook!

Lanzhu

*Gasp*

Player

What do you say, Lanzhu?

Lanzhu

What do I say? Well, there's obviously only one thing to say here!

Kasumi

Aiiiiii! Kariiiiiin! What is it? I'm still exhausted…

Ai

It's time to announce the new training session! It's called, “Club Hang Out Training”!
