Limitless (Rin Matsuoka x OC)

30.The Somersault Turn of Promise!

The next day at school, the swim team met on the roof for lunch. As promised, Nayna and Gou made the guys a 100 points lunch.

"Huh? Wow, Nayna yours looks amazing and it actually is perfectly balanced." Observed Gou.

"Thanks. So is yours but...what is that smell?" Said Nayna the last part mumbled a bit.

"You two have made all this?" Asked Nagisa.

"It looks delicious!" Said Makoto.

"This should have all the nutrients you need." Said Nayna, Gou nodded.

"Those are made by me and those by Nayna. I guess it was worth all the trouble of going all the way to the city to buy the ingredients. I even saw my brother and Sousuke while I was shopping.

"Rin and Yamazaki?" Wondered Haru.

"Yeah. The Samezuka Team happened to be there buying swimsuits."

"I see." Said Makoto.

"Here you go, Haru-chan, Mako-chan, let's eat." Said Nagisa. "Mm, delicious!"

"Wait just a moment... There's something odd about what you just said. Why were you shopping ingredients in a store that sell swimsuits?" Asked Rei.

"I'd want to know that too. And what is that thing leaking out?" Asked Nayna looking at the rice balls.

"Well, it wasn't a food ingredient. More like protein powder." Said Gou thinking.

"Why would you go for something like that when you can find all that you need organic?!" Said Nayna shocked ignoring Makoto and Haru looking sick.

"But everyone is using it."

"Everyone who is lousy and doesn't care of their own organs! That thing is good for short terms. It won't help them on the long run." Said Nayna annoyed.

Soon though, the boys started to eat mostly Nayna's food, Nagisa though opting for Gou's.

"Ugh, that guy goes for the sweets like ants..." Said Nayna annoyed.

After school, at practice, the boys still felt kinda sick from the protein powder.

"Gou, how about I take care from now on about their nutrition? I could even make personalized diets for everyone." Said Nayna.

"Oh, come on, you're acting like I poisoned them." Pouted Gou.

"Well, you weren't far."

"You can do that?" Asked Rei looking at Nayna.

"Sure, I took some classes in uni on nutrition and dietary a few years back."

"Huh? Uni classes? You-"

"Yeah, they were free to attend so I went to some." She said with a shrug.

"Ah, so that's how you know training too, right?"

"Mostly, plus I knew a couple of trainers so.."

As they were warming up, Nayna gave each a few instructions for the warm up that would help them more for their own strokes then giving others tips on what she saw wrong with their swimming.

"Nayna-san, you sure are observant." Said Rei.

"-chuckle- let's say that I'm known for my keen eye." She said amused.

------------------------------------------------------------

At Samezuka, the practice was on as well, Rin looked over everyone's training disappointed by Momotarou's fluke.

"He does have potential, but..." Said Rin as Sousuke got beside him to watch.

"Even if he has potential, it's meaningless if he can't use it." Said Sousuke unimpressed.

"We'd sure need some help."

"What are you thinking?"

"This team would sure need a good trainer."

"You're the captain, you should know what's best for the team." Said Sousuke leaving.

Rin looked at him before returning to look at the pool.

"And I might know just the right person for the job." He thought with a smirk.

------------------------------------------------------------

At Haru's house, the team met again to finish the details of their dietary, Nayna managing to come up with the perfect ones for each of them handing them to each.

"Ha! Those sound great, Nayna-chan!"

"Coming up even with receipts, you sure are good."

"If you keep up with this, your times should shortened and even your stamina should be better as you system would be taken care of." She said with a smile.

"What about the muscles?" Asked Gou.

"-sigh- you don't get muscles just from nutrition, but by pairing it with the right training which is also done for everyone." Said Nayna a bit exasperated by the girl's obsession with muscles.

She handed each of the boys their respective training regimens as well, everyone looking over it talking them through.

Gou noticed Nayna's phone lighten up as someone was calling only to see the name of the caller being Red, as a picture of Rin with Link came on the screen.

She chose to answer in her place as it was her brother after all.

*Hey, what do you say of a little inter-team help-out?* He said amused.

"Huh? Onii-chan you want us to have a joint practice?" She said getting everyone's attention.

Nayna saw that Gou answered her phone and got nervous.

*Onii...* He muttered into the phone confused then it hit him who was on the phone. *Gou! What...uh... is Nayna there?*

"Uh sure." She said a bit confused.

"Sorry, didn't see you call." She said nervously as they were all looking at her, again, seeing Makoto's look she felt her cheeks heat up but managed to control herself.

*Uh, I might have messed up... I might have slipped up a bit there...*

"What do you mean?"

*Well, to quote myself, I said to Gou that I need some 'inter-team help-out'.* He said a bit embarrassed.

"-chuckle- That's your problem now?" She asked amused.

*Ugh, shut up. She took it as I'd ask for a joined practice so...uh..i guess we don't have a choice then to do that if we don't want an uproar from them over you.*

"It's fine. And maybe it's not a bad idea."

He grumbled a bit into the phone before saying a short "fine".

"Great, I'll let them know." She said amused as she hang up.

"So we're having a joined practice at Samezuka!?" Said Nagisa excited.

"Seems like it."

"Why did Onii-chan call you and not his sister and manager of the team." Said Gou disappointed.

"Maybe he wanted and pressed the wrong number."

"But he asked for you." She pouted.

"Uhh...who knows what goes through his head." Said Nayna nervous feeling Makoto's amusement at her.
