Souma

Adonis-dono, the way you are eating is so spectacular! Though I love cooking, I end up making too much and don't know what to do with it.


Souma

It's a good thing Adonis-dono is here, otherwise all this food would just go to waste.


Adonis

No problem. Actually, you helped me out there. I was pretty hungry, but I'm low on money right now....I was trying to ride it out till lunch time....but honestly, I couldn't.


Souma

Mhmm. We are still going growing, after all. While it's said that "when you clear your mind, you will even find fire cool", there's also that proverb, "you cannot fight with an empty stomach".


Souma

But nonetheless, it is not good to overeat. We should aim to stop at 80% full all the time.


Souma

....Hmm?


Souma

Is that female standing over there Anzu-dono? That person is suited in a 'skirt', surely she is not a gentlemen.


Adonis

Why don't we try calling out to her...Anzu, what are you doing here?


Adonis

Oh whoa, are you okay? Of course, you'd be surprised by me calling you out all of a sudden. Here, I'll pick up the papers that fell everywhere.


Adonis

I bet even just me suddenly standing right behind you would be enough to scare the daylights out of you. I mean, with my build and all.


Adonis

Mmm. You have something on your mind? Right, I want you to tell me if you're having any issues. If I can be of assistance, I will lend you my strength.


Souma

You are looking rather weary. The 'Chocolate Fest' just ended the other day, you must have been working your fingers to the bone. I'm guessing you must be dead-tired.


Souma

Anzu-dono. sometimes it's necessary to rely on others, you know....Or something like that. Though, I'm really not in a position to say that.


Souma

All I do is rely on Hasumi-dono and Kiryu-dono. At this rate, I will never be able to become self-reliant.


Souma

Er...You're asking if I'm confident in my physique and stamina?


Souma

I don't know about physique, but I'm confident in my stamina. I seem to replenish energy quite effectively. I can endure long hours of 'lesson' practice without getting tired.


Souma

With that said, Adonis-dono over here would top me. No one can compare to Adonis-dono when it comes to physical capabilities.


Souma

And his physique is superb. Needless to say, I'm jealous ♪


Souma

Hold on there, what has confidence in physique and stamina got to do with what Anzu-dono's thinking? Where's this going?


Adonis

Kanzaki, I think Anzu is trying to imply that she has a job request she needs to fill. She seems to be agonizing over who to ask.


Adonis

Right when she's setting up the recruitment, it's a godsend that we appeared...like finding a ship right when you need to cross a river.


Souma

Mmm, I see. This is indeed just the kind of job we would welcome with open arms.


Souma

I appreciate that 'live' performances get the body moving, but challenges that focus on testing my physical limits makes me champing at the bit.


Adonis

It does seem like just the job for us. Would you give us more information about it, Anzu?
