| What was that all about, Ashigara?
|
| What the heck is a smogel....
|
| You're as weird as ever today!
|
Music:
|
Hey, what's with that expression!
Settle down, Player！
|
|
Sheesh, the great Ashigara is giving you a personal lesson on sumo here.
|
|
And that's why I need to increase tension! You know, like when you shout to power up?
|
|
By the way, I got the idea for that shout from before from that mountain guy, Zaou.
|
|
We sumo fighters gotta be all fashionable and in-the-now to get more newcomers！
|
| That's not what I'd call fashionable...
|
| You're the same as ever, Ashigara-senpai
|
| So now you've got more weird things to shout...
|
|
Anyway, talking is nice and all, but let's get started on our exercises.
|
|
Listen, just copy my movements and we'll do it together。
|
|
Ashigara sits down, spreads his legs, and moves his upper body down in front.
|
|
Because of his thick belly, it's not perfect, but he goes into a very nice seated straddle position
|
|
Hey, quit staring, spread your legs, and bend over already!
|
| Sorry, my body is too stiff to do it.
|
|
Good grief, how sad. C'mon, I'll get behind you and slowly push your back.
|
SFX:
|
Heave！
……eh、what、what'dya mean it hurts!?
|
|
I haven't even pushed you a single inch! C'mon, a bit more...hey, quit shouting!
|
SFX:
|
Geez, this is sad. There are limits to how little exercise one can have...
|
|
| Is this okay？
|
|
Ohoh, you've got some good muscles. When flexing, make sure to breath out.。
|
|
When you're done with that, touch your tippy-toes with both hands
|
|
Good work. Having a flexible body is important, so take care of it。。
|
|
| Hey look, I can grab my nose with my toes!
|
|
Wuuuh!? What are you, a ballerina!?
|
|
Hmm, I guess I can't showoff my flexibility anymore...
|
|
|
Ohoh, you've got some good muscles. When flexing, make sure to breath out.。
|
|
When you're done with that, touch your tippy-toes with both hands
|
|
Good work. Having a flexible body is important, so take care of it。。
|
|
After that, Ashigara bends his body, and politely continues his stretches.
|
|
If you think sumo practice isn all about standing, striking, and shuffling, you're wrong.
|
|
It's really more about loosening up your joints.
|
|
If you loosen up your body, you won't get injured as easily, and you'll adapt faster to the opponents movements.
|
|
So unlike baseball or soccer practice, sumo practice is more like gymnastics.
|
| !Mentioning baseball reminded me
|
| Where's all the usual members?
|
|
They're all out having practice matches at their own clubs.
|
|
Everyone is all over the place, so having them come over to help me wouldn't be fair.
|
|
And you seemed like you had some free time, so I thought I'd call you over!
|
| I didn't really have free time, though.
|
| So you were feeling lonely all by yourself.
|
|
H, hey! Why would you say something mean like that!
|
|
And also, uh, it's not really that I was lonely or anything...
|
|
I just...had something I wanted to tell you...
|
|
Eh, uh, just forget it! Up next is running! We're going to the river!
|

Music:
|
With remarkable speed, Ashigara stomps his legs and runs all the way to the neck of the river.
|
|
Even after that, he's not the least bit winded. This must be the result of daily practice.
|
|
Gahahaha! How was that, sometimes stuff like this can be fun!
|
| Aren't you getting full of yourself, senpai?
|
| Is this really the usual sports club practice!?
|
|
What, you're tired already? How pathetic.
|
|
The guy I used to run along my old mountain with was a lot more....ah, nevermind.
|
|
Can you really handle things like that? You must've gone through some crazy stuff recently, too.
|
|
Don't give me that look. Even I know about that.
|
|
Even Barguest has told me all about it.
|
|
Even someone distant like me has heard about your exploits. ...You've been through some tough stuff, huh?
|
| It hasn't really been that tough.
|
| I didn't want to worry you, senpai.
|
| Thank you for worrying about me.
|
Music:
|
...Gr, grrrrr! Now I'm annoyed!
|
|
What's with that attitude! Acting all reserved like I'm your guest!
|
|
Or maybe, you're trying to say you can't rely on me!
|
|
Due to his sudden bad mood, Ashigara's face turns red and pouts.
|
|
Whatever, let's just practice! In times like this, talking isn't going to help!
|
|
Take a stance over there! I'll give you a lesson personally!
|
|
If you hold back even a little bit, I'll blow you away! Get ready!
|

|
H...how was that! That one attack rattled you bad!
|
|
That was my famous teppou, that made even that person groan in pain countless times!
|
|
Or maybe even that wasn't enough! You want another go!?
|
| You're acting strange today, sempai.
|
| Please explain before we get back to practice.
|
|
I, I'm the same as always. There's nothing strange...
|
|
No, you're right. I got it already, so don't give me those puppy eyes.
|
Music:
|
It's just, you know. I was worried about you.
|
|
I heard you got mixed in some crazy stuff. Oh yeah, I even heard that you got shot with a pistol.
|
|
I've heard a lot about all the dangerous stuff going on around Shinjuku.
|
|
So, I..I didn't want to just stand around, so I called you.
|
| You really are a nice guy, Ashigara-senpai.
|
|
D, dumbass! Don't call me nice just for doing that!
|
|
Anyone would worry when someone as cute as you gets in a pinch, kouhai!
|
|
| Are you practicing with me so I can learn to defend myself?
|
|
There's a few things about you that could use some work.
|
|
It seemed like a good opportunity, and you seemed free, so I thought we'd practice!
|
|
| So it's not that you wanted to ask me on a date?
|
|
W-w-w-what crude stuff are you...and my, my heart isn't prepared to...I mean, wait!
|
|
You dummy! Quit teasing your senpai!
|
|
|
There's a few things about you that could use some work.
|
|
It seemed like a good opportunity, and you seemed free, so I thought we'd practice!
|
|
You're not going to leave me and go off somewhere far away, are you?
|
| Where is this coming from?
|
| You really are strange, Ashigara-senpai.
|
|
....Sorry. It's just, I feel strange when I look at you.
|
|
You make me remember some idiot who used to be my friend.
|
| Who is this idiot you're talking about?
|
|
<speed=0.1>……。</speed>
Phew...
|
|
Eh, fine. But it'll be a bit long, okay?
|
Background: 吉野山
|
It's from a long time ago, before I came to this world
|
|
On the mountain I used to live, he just suddenly appeared one day.
|
|
By that time, I had no doubts that I was the strongest guy in the whole world.
|
|
Even so, that idiot...he beat me easily.
|
| So he completely destroyed you.
|
|
N, not completely！
I lasted about 5 minutes, and at the end I....
|
|
I mean, uh...right. He was pretty strong.
|
|
But at the time, I didn't really care that I lost, okay.
|
|
| You're friends that were born from fighting！
|
|
It wasn't anything as manga-like as that. We fought every time we even looked at each other.
|
|
Although, after we fought, we did always have a meal together, and go for a swim.
|
|
| So was this person really good at sumo too?
|
|
Yeah, but it wasn't really so much sumo as pure physical strength.
|
|
The guy was even able to pick me up with one hand and toss me...
|
|
After that, I trained, and taught him what sumo was really all about!
|
|
|
It wasn't anything as manga-like as that. We fought every time we even looked at each other.
|
|
Although, after we fought, we did always have a meal together, and go for a swim.
|
|
And after that, we did everything together. From morning to night, we ran all along the mountain.
|

|
Then one day, he said he was going to go down the mountain.
|
|
He said "I'm going to go down the mountain, enter the city, and become a great warrior."
ってな。
|
Music:
SFX:
|
For 3 days and 3 nights, we fought each other.
|
|
I tried my best to convince him not to go to that damn city。
|
| Why shouldn't he have gone to the city?
|
|
Back then, the city was a wreck. There were even all sorts of stories of earthquakes, tornadoes, and monsters.
|
|
Not to mention all sorts of thieves and thugs.
|
|
There's no way I could want a friend to go to a place like that.
|
|
| You should've gone together.
|
|
Unlike me, that person was carrying a very important role.
|
|
He worked for some extremely important big-shot...there's no way I could follow a guy like that.
|
|
……No, that's not true. That was...yeah, just an excuse.
|
|
Actually, I was scared. I was afraid to leave my mountain and go to some unfamiliar city.
|
|
|

|
|
But he wouldn't give up. And I got fed up with it.
|
|
I said "Forget it! Go where-ever the hell you want to!"
|
Background: 暗転
|
After that, we separated for good.
|
|
And a little bird told me that he became a great warrior.
|
|
After that, I decided to go down the mountain too. But then I was pulled to this world.
|
Background: 河川敷
| So you have regrets.
|
|
A, are you stupid!? Like I'd feel that! There's no way I'd have regrets!
|
|
It's just, I was feeling a little lonely, thats all!
|
|
| I was wondering if maybe he came to Tokyo too.
|
|
Gahaha, I wonder about that. That idiot had no sense of direction.
|
|
I guess it's possible he's in a completely different world, causing trouble somewhere!
|
|
|
A, are you stupid!? Like I'd feel that! There's no way I'd have regrets!
|
|
It's just, I was feeling a little lonely, thats all!
|
|
...Sorry you had to listen to such a boring story. I'm done complaining.
|
|
Anyway, we're done with practice, so let's get something to eat! I know a great chanko shop.
|
|
And of course, it's my treat! Eat up, and get stronger!
|
|
Hm? What's wrong, somethin' bugging ya?
|
| I'm glad I'm your kouhai, senpai.
|
| I like you a lot, Ashigara-senpai.
|
Music:
|
……！
Wh, what the hell are you...agh, I bit my tongue!
|
|
...Um, I, I also....if I hated you, why the hell would I have told you all that!
|
|
You don't need to tell your senpai everything.
I'm the one who taught you sumo！
|
|
That means I'm your senpai! And what a senpai says, is absolute!
|
|
...So, uh, from now on....you better love me as your senpai...
|
|
Don't leave me all alone....got it, Player!
|
|
Alright! Let's make a dash for the chanko restaurant!
|
|
Don't lag behind！ Got it!

Before running off, you catch a glimpse of Ashigara's face.
|
|
He seems to be embarrassed, or maybe it's a satisfied face.
|
|
In order to get closer to that face, you step up your pace, and run as fast as you can.
|
|
Beneath the blue sky, the distance between your two shadows closes as you run towards the city.
|
|
To a lonely someone
