Dessert, Bait, PROFIT!
Attention, everyone!
Today only, you can try the brand-new desserts at Cafe Strega for free!
Everything's free! Come have a taste! Yes, you there walking by!
Me?
Of course! We always appreciate your love and support for Cafe Strega!
Well, they offered it, so I took one, but...
Unsure about going alone, I headed to the training ground where Serpang would be waiting.
No more...!
This is it for me, I can't move another inch.
My blood sugar's crashed! I've got no energy left!
Even at the Wind Moon Sect, they said nutrition is essential.
Excessive training for a growing girl is a violation of human rights!
...We've only done stretching so far.
Of course, the training hasn't even started yet.
Coo!
Toto. Forcing it won't make the impossible possible.
Just like telling someone who's struggling to "cheer up" doesn't actually help.
Cooo!
Anyway, let's call it a day.
I'll try harder tomorrow... or maybe next week, okay?
You said the same thing last week.
W-well...
I was really tired last week. It couldn't be helped.
Besides... it was Toto who signed the invitation in the first place.
That's it! If Toto gets stronger instead of me, then that solves everything, right?
Coo?!
If Toto gets stronger, it's like I got stronger too. It's obvious.
So that's that.
It was not.
Well then, I'm heading back for a nap... *Yawn*
Ugh, I'm kinda starving...
I came because I heard there were so many tasty dishes here... but...
Now that I'm broke, I can't afford any of them...
Hngh... I wanna eat something...
Sponge cake, pudding, ice candy...
As she spoke, an idea suddenly came to mind.
I made her an offer.
An offer she couldn't refuse...
Toto, faster! Run faster!
Coo!
We got this! Block it!
Cooo!
Give it everything!
Coooooo!
*Huff...* *Huff...!*
Coo...! Coooo...!
Incredible...!
Serpang and Toto broke their all-time training record today!
*Huff* *Huff* *Huff*
H-how'd we do, Captain...?
Is it enough...!?
Of course! If you can handle this, finishing the Journey will be a breeze!
No, not that small stuff!
You said if I trained hard today, I'd get a prize!
The new dessert tasting coupon from Cafe Strega!
Huh? Oh, right...
The moment I pulled out the coupon, Serpang snatched it from my hand.
We did it, Toto! Today we feast on sweets!
Coo!
Today, I learned how to motivate Serpang, who hates training.
But... it's not going to be easy.
What was a Captain's salary again...?
