After some questioning, Hiratsuka Shizuka also learned about the situation between Tanaka Masao and Yukinoshita Yukino.
He happened to come here and made a request to lose weight.
Everything seemed quite reasonable, so Hiratsuka Shizuka didn't suspect anything.
However, this weight loss request was a bit long.
Hiratsuka Shizuka pinched her chin, looking Tanaka Masao and Yukinoshita Yukino up and down.
[The weight loss process will take half a year, or even a year.
With the two of them spending so much time together, their feelings will inevitably deepen.
And this kid Tanaka, although he doesn't look like much now, what if he's a potential stock, and becomes a great handsome guy after losing weight?
It feels like the two of them getting together is somewhat natural.
One request helped Tanaka lose weight, and also solved Yukinoshita's problem of being lonely and unable to make friends.
It might even go a step further, directly resolving the lifelong matters of the two of them.
It should be a cause for celebration, but why do I feel so annoyed?]
The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable Hiratsuka Shizuka felt, looking at Yukinoshita Yukino, who was supervising Tanaka Masao's training.
She now felt that the Service Club was filled with the sour smell of romance.
A year later, the scene in the Service Club couldn't help but appear in her mind.
[Yukinoshita Yukino and a handsome Tanaka Masao, after losing weight, are in the Service Club.
She walks in, and she is greeted by Yukinoshita Yukino's disdainful look, and her words of disgust.
'Hiratsuka-sensei, could you please not disturb our time alone?']
Jealousy makes people unrecognizable, and Hiratsuka Shizuka felt that she could not accept such a scene no matter what.
But Hiratsuka Shizuka couldn't come up with a good idea for a while.
She couldn't possibly prevent others from falling in love just because of jealousy, wouldn't that make her seem petty?
After sitting in the Service Club for a while longer, Hiratsuka Shizuka found that training others to lose weight seemed quite interesting.
So she said to Yukinoshita Yukino.
"Hey, Yukinoshita, let me train Tanaka for a bit too."
Tanaka Masao, who was almost exhausted, complained upon hearing this.
"Hey, Hiratsuka-sensei, I'm not a toy."
"That's right, Hiratsuka-sensei."
Yukinoshita Yukino also echoed.
"We are conducting club activities, please don't disturb us."
"Hey, what do you mean by disturbing your club activities!"
Hiratsuka Shizuka was quite unconvinced, "How can I say, I am also the advisor of the Service Club, and I have the right to join club activities, alright?"
Yukinoshita Yukino nodded, affirming.
"What you said is not wrong."
Yukinoshita Yukino was still a relatively reasonable person, and Hiratsuka Shizuka made a legitimate request, so she couldn't refuse.
"Alright then."
Tanaka Masao looked at the two who had already reached some kind of agreement, and eagerly pointed at himself with his finger.
"Hey hey~, you two don't seem to have asked for my opinion as the person involved, have you?"
Yukinoshita Yukino: "You can refuse."
Hiratsuka Shizuka: "You can refuse." (Cracking her knuckles.)
The same words, spoken by different people, had completely different meanings.
Tanaka Masao subconsciously shrank his neck; the reputation of Iron Fist Invincible Shizuka was quite well-known.
"Then Hiratsuka-sensei, you must be gentle with me."
Tanaka Masao, shrinking his neck, coupled with being exhausted from exercising, spoke in a weak tone, giving off a very shy feeling.
However, with his 200-pound otaku image, such behavior was a bit disgusting.
Hiratsuka Shizuka shivered and said with some disdain.
"Don't be so disgusting."
Yukinoshita Yukino didn't say anything to Tanaka Masao, but only said to Hiratsuka Shizuka.
"Hiratsuka-sensei, you must be serious."
…
Tanaka Masao's rare rest time ended.
He was about to face Hiratsuka Shizuka in her full glory.
"One after another, no one can stand this."
Tanaka Masao complained in a low voice.
"What are you muttering about, hurry up and come over."
Hiratsuka Shizuka urged him.
"Let me tell you, constantly doing strength training only builds dead muscle, that won't do.
You need to move, use all your muscles, so that your movements will be flexible and coordinated in the future.
Come, I'll teach you how to box."
Saying that, Hiratsuka Shizuka had already made a boxing stance.
Seeing this, Tanaka Masao imitated her, raising his arms.
"Yes, just like that, and then your fist should punch out like this."
Before Tanaka Masao could react, Hiratsuka Shizuka's fist had already struck towards him.
[It's over.]
Tanaka Masao subconsciously closed his eyes, preparing to endure immense pain.
Then, he felt a ripple in his stomach.
Then, there was no 'then'.
Tanaka Masao then opened his eyes, looking at the fist hitting his stomach, and the almost imperceptible pain, and subconsciously asked.
"Hiratsuka-sensei, did you not eat?"
Anger.
Hiratsuka Shizuka showed an extremely kind smile, with dark aura overflowing from her body.
She admitted that because it was her first time hitting Tanaka Masao, she held back her strength, but she couldn't be questioned about not eating.
"Take this!"
Hiratsuka Shizuka stepped back with her right foot and punched Tanaka Masao in the stomach with her right fist.
With a muffled thud, the fat on Tanaka Masao's stomach jiggled wildly.
This punch was quite powerful, and Tanaka Masao did indeed feel pain, but…
It didn't seem to have much effect.
Why was this? Tanaka Masao pondered, and soon had the answer.
His previous body had suffered long-term school bullying.
Unlike Yukinoshita Yukino's cold violence and ostracism, his previous body had actually been beaten many times.
Those bullies were not as gentle as Hiratsuka Shizuka; even when striking in anger, they couldn't control their strength and avoid seriously injuring someone.
Those people had no sense of proportion when they struck, especially during middle school.
Those people were in their developmental period, and their strength was considerable.
Fortunately, the original owner had a lot of flesh on his body, which allowed him to endure it.
Although this body fat didn't provide much strength, it did offer endurance and resistance to being beaten.
It was somewhat similar to the anti-strike training of the Golden Bell Shield.
Thinking of this, Tanaka Masao sighed helplessly in his heart.
[Alas, this might be a blessing in disguise, but if he could, the original owner would rather not have such a resistant body.]
Tanaka Masao, who had understood everything, decided to give Hiratsuka Shizuka some face.
He suddenly stepped back, knelt on the ground, covering his stomach with both hands, looking quite pained.
"Ah~ ah~ I'm so in pain!"
…
The air fell into an eerie silence.
Because Tanaka Masao had been lost in thought for two and a half seconds during his recollection.
Now, retreating and clutching his stomach, it was as if there was a delay.
Coupled with his vigorous wails, it really didn't sound like he was in pain.
