Ch. 36 Ep. 3: Council Room Secrets?

The first-years have been gathering in the student council room before practice recently. What exactly are they up to?

Uzuki

President Shioriko, I have completed organizing the files.

Shioriko

Great job. I've just finished here myself.

Satsuki

Perfectly timed, President!

Shioriko

Is it? Goodness. Now that you mention it, just look at the time.

Uzuki

I believe everyone should be arriving soon.

Shioriko

Come in.

Shizuku

Excuse me for interrupting. Have you finished up with your work, Shioriko?

Shioriko

Just now, in fact. I'll get changed right away so wait a moment for me.

Satsuki

Coming throoough! Kasumi and Rina! Could you move out of the way for a moment while I spread out some mats?

Uzuki

Satsuki, let's give this pose a try today.

Satsuki

Heh heh heh. Today's another day of no mercy for any of you!

[Fade in/out.]

Uzuki

Now then, everyone! Let's start by sitting cross-legged and controlling our breathing.

Satsuki

Take a deeeeeep breath, then sloooooowly exhale. I'm going to switch your focus into yoga mode!

Uzuki

First up are some basic poses. We shall kick things off with the Child's Pose. Shift to a relaxed kneeling position and take a deeeeeep breath.

Satsuki

Then bend forward and stretch your arms out in front of you as you breathe out.

Kasumi

This feels like heaven!

Rina

Piece of cake.

Uzuki

Next up is the Triangle Pose. Please stand with your legs wider than shoulder-width.

Satsuki

Sloooooowly exhale and bend your trunk over. Yes, that's right. Looking good!

Shizuku

This pose apparently helps to slim down your waist.

Shioriko

Wow. I never knew it could do that too.

Uzuki

Everyone is doing these poses with such ease.

Satsuki

It seems so. Let's bump up the difficulty a bit with the Pigeon Pose, then! From your cross-legged position, plant your hands on the ground, and stretch your right leg back.

Uzuki

Grab your outstretched right foot with your right hand and pull it toward your head. That's it. Push your chest out nice and forward. This will strengthen your core.

Kasumi

The Pigeon Pose feels amazing too!

Satsuki

And next will be a twisting pose.

Rina

Urk… This one's a bit painful…

Uzuki

Shall we all try an advanced pose today? Like the Crow Pose!

Shizuku

What?! Um, this is a little…

Shioriko

Hngh… Hup…

[Fade in/out.]

Uzuki

And that will be it for today. Great job, everyone.

Rina

I-I'm exhausted…and drenched with sweat…

Shioriko

I couldn't do the Crow Pose at all.

Shizuku

Me neither, but practice makes perfect! Let's give it our all!

Kasumi

Hey, hey, Rinako! I think you've gotten more limber.

Rina

I can bend just a bit more forward than before now. Rina-chan Board says, “Victory!”

Satsuki

And it's not just you, Rina. Everyone has improved so much!

Uzuki

Indeed. Advanced poses may be difficult, but you have all made significant progress on the intermediate ones.

Shizuku

It kind of feels as though I've become obsessed with yoga.

Shioriko

*Giggle* Me too. We have Uzuki and Satsuki to thank for this.

[Fade in/out.]

Satsuki

We have recently started studying, President Shioriko!

Shioriko

Studying?

Uzuki

Yes. We are learning about beauty and are currently researching yoga.

Satsuki

We were hoping to be of assistance to you, President!

Uzuki

We believe that beauty is also an important factor in the quest for you to shine brighter as a school idol and surpass the great Setsuna Yuki.

Satsuki

While you are absolutely wonderful in your raw form, you will be unstoppable if beautified further!

Shioriko

Surpass Setsuna? I'd never even dream of it. Even so, thank you very much, Uzuki and Satsuki.

Satsuki

Now then, President Shioriko! Let us have a yoga lesson at once!

[Fade in/out.]

Kasumi

I was totally surprised when I saw you getting your yoga on in here, Shioko!

Shioriko

*Chuckle* You did happen to catch me covered in sweat and grunting my way through poses, after all.

Rina

That's when Kasumi kicked up a fuss about it not being fair for you to have secret training sessions, so you let us join.

Shizuku

And it's a good thing you did. Yoga is perfect for warming up before practice, and I feel as though I see a change in my silhouette.

Shioriko

Um, there is something I would like to discuss with all of you.

Rina

What is it?

Shioriko

About the making of the “Obsessed with Your Obsession” video. Would the three of you mind doing it with me?

Shizuku

Are we going to make a video introducing yoga?

Shioriko

Not just yoga. I'd like to try and make a video with us four and our immersion in the subject of beauty.

Rina

Beauty… I'm very interested. Rina-chan Board says, “Woo-hoo!”

Shizuku

Sure! I was thinking that I'd love to try studying makeup myself. That counts as part of beauty as well, right?

Shioriko

Indeed. So would you all join me in making the video?

Kasumi

Of course! Let's make a video that'll blow Karin away!
