[player]No... No!
The devil in my heart defeats the soft-hearted angel to gain the upper hand. With great difficulty, I force myself to reject her.
To get that VIP ticket to the concert, I'll have to be harsh just this once. Ignoring the girl's look of accusation, I place the two lunches the manager prepared separately on the dining table.
The mango and shrimp salad in the lunch box is bright green, just like bamboo shoots that have just broken through the ground, and the shrimp meat embellishes it with specks of white. As a whole, the colors go well together, and it looks, smells, and tastes good. But that's only if there isn't an enticing deluxe fried chicken rice bowl right next to it.
The tragic visual contrast makes me feel even worse about the situation, so I try to eat as quietly as possible to make myself feel more invisible.
[Kana Fujita]Sigh...
[player]Am I affecting you? Should I go to the living room for now?
[Kana Fujita]Of course not. I already feel bad that I can't try that delicious fried chicken rice bowl. It'll be even harder for me to stomach this food if I can't see you while I'm eating, PLAYER.
[player]I think I know what to give you after your concert ends, a bouquet of fried chicken drumsticks would be perfect.
[Kana Fujita]Haha! I don't mind, but my manager will definitely stop you. Sigh... I feel miserable whenever I remember that I'll have to wait until after my concert ends three months later before I can eat meat again.
The young girl leans softly against the back of the chair and pokes the food in her bowl with her fork instead of eating the food.
Seeing how depressed she looks, the angel in my heart stands up again with shaky legs and starts chanting a magic spell while waving a staff around. Because I want to remove the frown from her face so much, the magic spell enchants me easily.
[player]Kana, if you don't mind, you can try some of this fried chicken.
[Kana Fujita]Huh? Really?!
[player]Yeah, but since we need to watch your calorie count, you can only have a little bit. I'll also tell your fitness trainer about the situation and arrange for you to do extra training...
[Kana Fujita]That's okay! I don't care if I need to train for an extra day as long as I can eat some meat! ...Mmm! Thanks, PLAYER! It's as tasty as I imagined!
Before I can finish speaking, Kana, who is no longer depressed, comes over. She takes my spoon eagerly and takes a bite, stuffing her cheeks until they are bulging, making satisfied and happy sounds while she eats.
[player]Wait, Kana! That's the spoon I was using...
[Kana Fujita]Huh?
Her face becomes as red as a beetroot. She quickly thrusts the spoon back into my hand, then turns around so her back is facing me and picks up the salad set she was eating before. The vegetables she disliked so much before are now like delicacies that have her full attention.
Her actions remind me of a video compilation of cute little squirrels on CatChat. In my heart, I feel a little lucky and proud because only I have seen such a vivid side of her.
It's just... I press my hand against my cheek and realize that Kana isn't the only person affected by what happened.
After a short break following lunch, the ringing alarm clock reminds us that it's time to exercise. The fitness trainer hired by the manager usually would arrive early at this time, but something unexpected happened today.
[Kana Fujita]You're saying that... the fitness trainer has taken the day off?
[player]Yes, he just sent me a message saying that he can't come today because something happened at home.
[Kana Fujita]Heaven must have noticed that I was working too hard and decided to give me an extra day off. Why don't we go and play mahjong with Ichihime and the others in the afternoon? I've been exercising so hard during this time that I haven't played a South Wind match in a long time.
Noticing that Kana has already started cheering and thinking of what she can do for fun in the afternoon, I have no choice but to pull out an electronic scale to ruthlessly tear down her fantasies.
[Kana Fujita]PLAYER, you suddenly pulled out something terrifying!
[player]I won't let you take any days off unless you reach the target weight.
[Kana Fujita]Ahem, I was just joking. I'll exercise seriously, so put the electronic scale away now... Since you insist, you can be my trainer for today!
[Kana Fujita]Huh?
[Kana Fujita]Why are you so surprised? You've been supervising me while I exercise these last few days, so you should be really familiar with the exercises the trainer has been teaching me. There's also the training video my manager recorded at home to help you. You can do this!
Kana interrupts my instinctive refusal. After hearing her analysis, I actually begin to approve of this plan. At least this really is the best course of action we can take to save time and keep up with the weight loss plan.
