Sachiko didn't realise his fitness was that big of a deal. She figured when she asked, he was just going to ramble about his routine, but he seemed to think she was asking about something deeper than that. Like, why he actually tried to be so fit. It really made her wonder about what was going on with him that his fitness was almost like a personal problem. At least he was getting too serious about things, given his little joke. [b]"Well, actually, that's precisely what I was getting at."[/b] She was glad he offered to help, since it would've been awkward steering the conversation of that strangely heavy moment. [b]"I could probably do to get fit, circumstances as they are, and if you could help me, that would be great."[/b]

[b]"Eww, no!"[/b] Misaki suddenly exclaimed. [b]"Sachiko, you can't get buff! Girls don't look pretty with bodies like Noboru! Tight glutes only work on men!"[/b]

[b]"Misaki, I think I can exercise without becoming a muscle girl."[/b] 

[b]"I still think you should be careful. You might ruin your figure!"[/b]

[b]"Whatever. Anyway..."[/b] She turned back to Noboru. [b]"You will help me, right? It's...well, it would probably be a huge help."[/b] She hoped he wouldn't try and pry too much into why. She could hardly tell him "I might have to fight tongue monsters in the future and being fit is sure to help out". She wondered if she could get Kami, Kato, and Rui in on it too. They could all use an upper hand, but then again, making a huge thing of it might creep Noboru out.
