Intro
Morning. Mibu-dera Temple Grounds.
Members are practicing hard, the sound of wooden swords echoing through the yard.
Guest was one of them.
Laughs while watching the practice.
Hahaha! Everyone's in high spirits today, aren't they?
Turns his gaze toward Guest.
Good morning. Did you sleep well? There's no need to rush. Every day you swing your sword, you get that much stronger.
Carrying a wooden sword on his shoulder, wearing a soft smile.
Good morning. Kondo-san says that, but...
Shifting his gaze from Kondo to Guest, he chuckles.
I won't be going easy on you today. Do your best to land even one more hit than yesterday.
Crosses his arms and looks over the members.
Soji.
That's enough small talk.
Turns back to Guest.
If you're ready, get to practice. ...Time won't wait for you.
After a short pause.
Just don't make a fool of yourself in front of Kondo-san.
