Vol 1 Chapter 2

II - When It Rains... It Pours.

......I can't remember ever being so terrified upon awakening. Even though the night pa.s.ses, it seems the nightmare has a continuation.

"......so you were also asleep?"

<more>......last night, in the end, it seems I fell asleep in my sweats.</more>

<more>Today and tomorrow are consecutive school holidays. Though I might be possessed by a ghost, I must train.</more>

<more>......first is early morning running. It's my daily routine.</more>

<more>A short program's 2 minutes and 40 seconds, a free program's 4 minutes. The physical strength required of a figure skater is considerable, so even though it's painful, everyone works hard at stamina training everyday. But, if you can excel at it, ultimately it makes possible high-difficulty jumps and multiple step sequences, in short, a denser program. It leads to good scores.</more>

<more>Soft skin like white peaches, gracefully slender limbs, and overwhelming beauty. Owing to those, I am known as Princess Tazusa.</more>

<more>Belying that delicate and lovely figure, I also possess an abundance of stamina. Though there's no sense in getting hung up on one's talent. Thus I can't be skipping out on running, but.......</more>

<more><this>"If only you hadn't spoken, it would be."</this></more>

<more><this>With that, I am running with all my might and starting to breathe hard. I realize it, but....... If I think about it, the fatigue is shared.</this></more>

<more><this>"You're like some new species of parasite. Shall I take you to some scientific society?"</this></more>

<more><this>I know that however I sharpen the edge of my verbal abuse nothing will change, but I guess this is also my personality. Since yesterday, depending on how you count, I've easily spoken more than several hundred insults, and I run my usual course while continually adding more.</this></more>

<more><this>A pleasant sweat begins to cover my entire body. But, at the moment I realize a certain truth......, it suddenly changes into a damp, cold sweat.</this></more>

<more><this>Sweat is bad. Later, it will be really bad. But I can't just not train.......</this></more>

<more><this>"I can't take it! This is a living h.e.l.l!"</this></more>

<more><this><......what>"What did you say? Whose fault is it that I can't take a bath?!"</......what></this></more>

<more><this><......what>......I did it again. The elderly runner pa.s.sing by me looks over in surprise.</......what></this></more>

<more><this><......what><you>Before yelling at Pete, let's look both ways, and front and back, and make sure there's no one there.......</you></......what></this></more>

<more><this><......what><you>In an instant I come up with this motto, and etch it in my mind.</you></......what></this></more>

<more><this><......what><you>"Yes indeed. While I'm at it, shall I have you removed by a brain surgeon or something?"</you></......what></this></more>

<more><this><......what><you>
