専門的なことはプロに任せよう

[player]Forget it.
An anonymous person once said something that makes a lot of sense even though it hasn't been proven: "Professional things should be left to the professionals." I know very well that I'm not fit enough to be a temporary trainer, so I firmly reject Kana's proposal.
To thoroughly extinguish the little flame of Kana's desire to be lazy, I send a text message to her manager about what afternoon arrangements I should make.
[Manager]It looks like it's time to activate plan B.
[Kana Fujita]Huh?
[Manager]A nearby gym has signed an agreement with us to provide corresponding fitness services to our artists and protect their privacy.
[Manager]I'll call the manager of the gym now. You should take Kana there after half an hour. I've just sent you the address. →shared address URL
[player]Okay.
[player]As expected, every manager has a plan B. However, why does this address look so familiar?
I take Kana to the gym. The moment I open the door, I can feel a strong... sporty atmosphere.
All the exercise equipment is in use. People are either letting off some steam or trying to improve their physical fitness. However, regardless of their motive, they are doing all this for one goal, which is to exchange their sweat for positive energy.
The fitness trainer the manager contacted is waiting for us at the door long before we arrived. He strictly skips all the usual visit procedures and takes Kana directly to the personal training room.
[player]Kana, give it your all!
Deliberately ignoring the "resentment" in her eyes, I calmly find a comfortable place to sit down and prepare to play a mahjong game on my mobile phone for the rest of the afternoon.
[player]According to the schedule, Kana will need to train for at least four hours... I better make the most of this time to rank up!
A little while later
[player]Hmm... Should I call Pon on this tile or not?
[Fitness trainer]Of course you should. What are you waiting for with your hand?
[player]Then I'll... Hmm? Wait a minute, you...
[Fitness trainer]The countdown is almost over. Call Pon now before it's too late! Oh, I was going to ask you. Do you know where Miss Fujita has gone?
[player]She isn't in the room?
[Fitness trainer]No. She suddenly disappeared when I went outside to drink some water. The other trainers and I have been looking for her for a while, but we haven't had much luck.
[player]What?!
After hearing the news, I jump up from the chair and anxiously start searching for her.
[Fitness trainer]Slow down, you can call Pon on that tile first...
This street, queue, and milk tea fragrance are all so familiar to me... After turning at the corner, I finally realize why this gym is so familiar to me. It's because it's just across the street from that popular milk tea.
Remembering that this is where I met Kana and her agent last week, which led to me having the opportunity to spend some time in close proximity to my idol, I can't help but slow down and relive the joy I experienced at that time.
Suddenly... I see a figure wearing sunglasses and a curvy mustache with a huge sun umbrella in her hands in the queue to buy milk tea. After noticing my gaze, the person steps back guiltily.
[Kana Fujita]Ahem, PLAYER, what a coincidence...
[player]Surely you won't try to tell me that you've come here to chat with a friend this time, right?
[Kana Fujita]Maybe my legs have a mind of their own?
I finally understand why your manager is always sighing. With raised eyebrows, I reach out to pull Kana out of the long queue at the milk tea shop and take her back to the fitness trainer.
[player]I'll stand guard outside the door this time so you won't get the chance to sneak out to buy milk tea again. You haven't quite reached your manager's goal yet, so you need to work hard!
[Kana Fujita]Sigh, I'm doing so much for your VIP ticket.
[Fitness trainer]Miss Fujita, milk tea is something you must avoid while trying to lose weight. Because of what you just did, I've decided to work overtime for free today and give you double the practice time. I hope you'll remember this lesson.
[Kana Fujita]No! You don't need to do that.
[Fitness trainer]Before we start exercising again, I have one last question. PLAYER, I want to know... did you call Pon on that tile in the end?
[Kana Fujita]...
It looks like he is also a mahjong enthusiast. But compared with the mahjong game, shouldn't he be focusing on Kana's weight loss plan? I hope everything goes well before her manager returns to One Han City.
The second day
[player]M-Manager! Why are you here? Isn't there two more days before the commercial performance ends?!
[Manager]I arranged for someone else to take care of Mia, so I rushed back to do a spot check on the progress of the weight loss plan. Kana, don't just stand there. Hop on the scale.
[Kana Fujita]Why does hearing that make me feel like a sheep being led to the slaughter?
Kana's manager ignores the looks of protests she makes and stands firm on her mandatory request. The numbers on the electronic scale jump back and forth before finally stopping firmly on a number.
[Manager]...
[Kana Fujita]...
[player]...
[Manager]I had a feeling the weight loss plan would fail, but... I didn't expect Kana to gain weight instead of losing weight.
[player]But the trainer clearly gave Kana two extra hours of training yesterday. How could...
The air becomes silent suddenly, and even the wind has stopped blowing outside the window. With her manager and me looking at her suspiciously, Kana lowers her head guiltily and coughs gently.
[Kana Fujita]Ahem, I used up so much energy in yesterday's extra training and was so hungry that I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night... I just happened to see a fried chicken restaurant's ad for takeaway, so...
Listening to her gradually softening voice, I finally understand what happened. Her manager and I quickly glance at each other and we see helplessness in each other's eyes.
[Manager]It's a good thing I returned early. It's not too late to make up for lost time. Kana, I'll be supervising your exercise personally, and I'll notify your fitness trainer to double your training amount. I hope you'll reach your target weight as soon as possible.
[Kana Fujita]What? Please don't!
Kana and I, who was completely innocent, wail mournfully at the same time. I would miss out on a VIP ticket to the concert because of one supper!
Fortunately, Kana's manager knows that it isn't my fault and arranged a ticket for me anyway, which cools and soothes my miserable heart that feels like it has been exposed to the heat of summer.
