Minori, Haruka & Shizuku
Yay!

Minori
(What do we get to do next...?! I'm sure it's gonna be something our viewers will really enjoy like the banana boat activity we just did...!)


Comments
<Uh, that seems kinda dull lol.> <That sounds more like playing than training.>

Airi
Heh heh heh. This exercise is actually pretty tricky and involves three people working together as a team.

Airi
Another person will be allowed to guide the smasher by tugging them along using their hands and such. However, they won't be allowed to speak!

Shizuku
Guiding the blindfolded person while not being allowed to speak sounds incredibly difficult...

Haruka
I agree. Not being able to see is already pretty scary, so it might be tough to move in the right direction unless you really trust your guide.

Airi
Finally, the third person will act as the messenger who will be allowed to speak, but that's all they'll be able to do. They won't be allowed to guide the others by touching them.

Haruka
So, because the guide isn't allowed to speak, the messenger will have to relay information to the smasher?

Haruka
That's not a lot of time... And being on the beach makes it just that much harder to cover such a distance.


Comments
<I'm sorry for doubting you...> <I love Airi's smug face.> <This is impossible, right?>


Shizuku
Even when I had the opportunity to do so for a TV program, my manager would always say that I wasn't allowed to be the smasher.

Airi
Oh, because your sense of direction's so bad...? How you might get your left from your right confused even if you're given the correct directions...?

Airi
A beach ball that looks like a watermelon will be there instead of the real one. Your goal will simply be to reach it!


Minori & Shizuku
Right!

Airi
Also, the person not participating in this activity will be in charge of filming and commentating.

Airi
As such, I'll be behind the camera first and doing my best to capture some highlight reels of all of you!


Comments
<Cool! Looking forward to hearing Airi's colorful commentary!> <Please be careful not to trip and fall, Shizuku!> <Do your best, Minori!>

*Hurried Footsteps*

Comments
<Huh? She's blindfolded, right?> <How's she able to go so fast?!>

Airi
Here we go! Some drama straight outta the gates! Shizuku's off like a rocket! While blindfolded no less!

Airi
But you've gotta be about this quick to get to the watermelon in time! Let's see if she can maintain this speed!

Minori
(Shizuku's going so fast! Even though she's blindfolded! I have to find a way to catch up to her!)

Airi
And there's Haruka with an excellent save! Despite Shizuku rocketing off, Haruka managed to keep her away from that big bump in the sand!

Airi
What a turn of events! Minori wanted Shizuku to move to her ten o'clock position but somehow ended up at her seven!!


Comments
<Geez, I laughed so hard that I spat out my tea!!> <Shizuku did such a beautiful turn that I wasn't really sure what happened there for a second.>

Airi
(I knew Shizuku didn't have the best sense of direction, but I can see why she wasn't allowed to do this...)

Haruka
(Shizuku's faithfully doing everything Minori and I are telling her to do, but she's been moving further and further away from the watermelon...)

Minori
(Hmm... I'm having so much trouble running. My feet keep getting stuck in the sand. If only I had a strong core like Haruka or Shizuku...)

Minori
(Wait, there's no time for that right now! I have to keep running as best I can and keep up with the others.)

Minori
(Also, if I keep worrying about my footing, I won't be able to guide Shizuku to the watermelon...!)

Airi
Oh, it looks like Haruka's figured out how to guide Shizuku! She's gently leading Shizuku by the hand!

Airi
Not only that, she's doing all this while making sure they maintain their speed! Talk about great support!

Minori
(She's right. Haruka's gently pushing and pulling against Shizuku while not getting in her way!)


Comments
<They aren't gonna make it.> <This is harder than I thought.>


Comments
<Huh? Why? <You want her to slow down? But you're running out of time.>

*Hurried Footsteps*
Airi
M-Minori seems to have some kind of plan. She's sprinting towards the watermelon all by herself at full speed!

*Hurried Footsteps*
Airi
Wh-Whoa! Haruka and Shizuku are running at nearly full speed now! Straight towards the watermelon too!

Airi
2' 56" to be exact! It was close, but your last-ditch plan made such a huge difference in the end, Minori!

Airi
Exactly! Your amazing idea sort of went to waste because our only camera is this phone. You ran so far away that our viewers couldn't possibly have seen what happened.

Airi
It would've been much easier to film if you'd broken it up into two separate sprint sections instead of just the one.


Shizuku & Haruka
Yeah!
