Cross Backstage/Muscular Desire

Cross Backstage: Sakuya x Tasuku
Muscular Desire

Tasuku	.....
	(As I thought, Winter Troupe’s basic physical fitness in general is still poor. I shall add a few more physical training’s menu to the morning practice...)
Tsumugi	Heave-ho.
Tasuku	?
Tsumugi	Hmm, I think lifting up this many boxes is a little bit too hard...
Tasuku	Oi, Tsumugi.
Tsumugi	...Whoa.
Tasuku	Look out!
Tsumugi	.....
Tasuku	Good grief, what are you doing?
Tsumugi	Tasuku.... Thank you, I was saved.
Tasuku	You can’t lift this big luggage at once, you know. Give it to me, I’ll carry it for you.
Tsumugi	It’s all right, t-th..is..much is fi....
Tasuku	It’ll be faster if you just give it to me. I feel uneasy just by watching you.
Tsumugi	Sorry, thanks.
Tasuku	Where should I bring it?
Tsumugi	Ah, the warehouse over there...
Tasuku	Warehouse it is.
Tsumugi	Tasuku is amazing, huh. If it’s me, the best one I can do is just lifting it.
Tasuku	Well, I have different training from you.
Tsumugi	I wonder if I should also train a little more...
Tasuku	Ah, I just thought about that matter. I am thinking to add physical training menu...
Sakuya	....
	Physical...
	—
Tasuku	Fyuuh...
Sakuya	....
Tasuku	(There’s still time until practice. I should go jogging...)
Sakuya	*stares* ....
Tasuku	....
Sakuya	*stares* ....
Tasuku	...What is it?
Sakuya	Ah, so, sorry!
Tasuku	...If you have anything to say, just say it.
Sakuya	Ummm, what I want to say, what I want to hear is.... it’s not that big of deal.
Tasuku	What?
Sakuya	It’s not that great, but can you listen to it...?
Tasuku	Don’t worry, just say it.
Sakuya	Ummm... What should I do to become strong like Tasuku-san!?
Tasuku	Hah?
Sakuya	Just now, when I saw Tasuku-san lifting up those boxes, I thought that Tasuku-san is incredibly strong...!
Tasuku	Ah...
Sakuya	I also want to become a strong, muscular man like Tasuku-san!
Tasuku	I am not that muscular, you know.
Sakuya	You’re really muscular! What can I do to be just like you!?
Tasuku	Even if I tell you...
Sakuya	So, sorry! I must have asked you a strange question... It troubles you because I just asked you out of the blue, huh.
Tasuku	No, it’s okay...
Sakuya	Don’t worry about it. Sorry!
Tasuku	...Ah, I think you should be fine if you move your body everyday.
Sakuya	Move my... body?
Tasuku	No, it’s not just moving. You have to eat and sleep well... Boys at your age are still growing, right?
	Rather than forcing yourself with excessive muscle training, I think it’s better to consider about your body growth and do some moderate exercises.
Sakuya	I see...! That is very helpful!
	Umm, by moderate exercise, how long do I have to exercise?
Tasuku	That’s right... I am about to go jogging now, do you want to come too?
Sakuya	Can I!?
Tasuku	Yes.
Sakuya	Ah, but apart from P.E. class in school, I don’t really move my body. Maybe I’ll only bother you later...
Tasuku	You can take it slow, it’s your first time after all.
	Your running technique may change and get faster, see; if that happens, it’ll be easier for you. I will also support you.
Sakuya	Really!? Thank you!
Tasuku	Get ready, we’ll meet again in front of the dorm.
Sakuya	Yes!
Sakuya	Sorry for the wait!
Tasuku	You... Are you planning to run in that?
Sakuya	I think I will move easily in this. Is it no good?
Tasuku	No, it’s fine but.. your shoes?
Sakuya	They are tentatively sneakers!
Tasuku	...
Sakuya	Tasuku-san?
Tasuku	The size is a little bit not right.
	It’s okay if you wear it daily, but it may become painful if you wear it while running.
	It’s better if you wear running shoes, let’s go buy it next time.
Sakuya	Yes!
Tasuku	Then, let’s do a 10 km run lightly.
Sakuya	10 km...!?
Tasuku	Well, you can run that much, right?
Sakuya	I, I’ll try my best!
Sakuya	Haa, haa...
Tasuku	Oi, are you okay? Here, I bought you a sports drink.
Sakuya	Tha, thank you! *gulp gulp*... Fwaah~! I’ll revive.
Tasuku	I am sorry. When I was in middle school, I always ran about 10 km everyday, so I thought that you could do it too....
Sakuya	N-no, rather, I am sorry that I am not physically fit!
Tasuku	I forgot that Tsumugi always calls me muscle fool.
Sakuya	Well, Tasuku-san always exercises daily since long ago, after all.
Tasuku	That’s right... Moving my body has became some sort of a hobby to me, so I wasn’t particularly aware of that...
	Since I was still in elementary school, running has became my daily routine.
Sakuya	Tasuku-san didn’t gain his muscle in a day, huh! I will also work hard, then!
Tasuku	Yeah, try a little bit more.
Sakuya	Tasuku-san! Please look at this! It looks like they’re holding a sport equipment’s sale now!
Tasuku	Perfect timing. Let’s go tomorrow.
	While we’re at it, let’s also take a look at sport wears. When your range has gradually extended, I think I can arrange a full-fledged exercise.
Sakuya	Yes!
Tasuku	Although you were exhausted in your first 10 km run, you worked hard.
Sakuya	It’s all thanks to Tasuku-san! Did I become a little bit strong?
Tasuku	Yes, you’re gradually gaining muscles.
Sakuya	I will work harder!
Tsumugi	....Before I knew it, those two have became close, huh?
Itaru	Rare shot.
Citron	There must be an EX Eve happened between them, you know!
Itaru	Yeah, yeah.
Tsumugi	What is an EX Eve?
Citron	It’s a kind of event that won’t happen normally, it’s a special event, you know!
Itaru	There are many cases where they put some conditions if you want to see it. The more the rare drops, the harder it gets.
Citron	It’ll burn more if you get higher rare~!
Itaru	Dang straight.
Tsumugi	Is, is that so...?
