The next day...

The entire band was busy chatting in Hitori's room. Probably because she was fully incapable of moving right now. They aren't surprised. Hitori's physical stat is at the same level as her social stat. In the negatives. Somehow.

"My... legs... they...STILL hurt," Tokumei cramped on the floor. His legs were too busy punishing him for trying to defy gravity over and over again yesterday. Sure they're built to withstand being able to run for kilometers under an hour, but they sure weren't trained to go up thousands of steps in a day. 

"So do mine actually," Kita rubbed her calves. She sucked air through her teeth as she tried to ease her muscles from their pain. 

"My entire body is incapable of moving," Hitori laid down on her bed. The only thing she could do that doesn't hurt is blink and talk. Nothing else. 

"I'm the only one whose legs don't hurt huh? It's just my arms," Nijika stretched her arms a bit. To loosen the tension stored up within it. 

"Too bad for you guys, my body is still perfectly fine," Ryo bragged. 

Tokumei and Nijika glared at her.

"Darn it, and I planned for us to go to the beach today," Kita moped. Looks like her plans are delayed... AGAIN. Can't a girl get some sun? 

"Hold it off. I'm pretty sure half of us would drown since our legs aren't working," Tokumei laid down on the floor. He wonders if his arms can just walk for him instead. No, that'll just make his arms hate him more than his legs. 

"Then there's Bocchi, who's so physically incapable that she'd drown in the shallows somehow," Ryo slanders her friend.

"No way. She may be physically inept, but there's no way that she'd drown in the shallows... Right, Bocchi?" Nijika asked, hoping that at least the introvert has some experience swimming before. 

"...I've never swam before actually," Hitori shamefully admits.

'She's so gonna drown at the shallows,' the rest of the band thought at the same time.

"Ignoring that for now, band meeting. We gotta talk about budget," Nijika went back to being a leader. "Since Kita managed to buy us the entire breakfast, lunch and dinner.. We could actually go through the entire week without having to buy food. Which means starting today, no more snacks."

"Aw," Ryo moped. 

"So that means we can only spend our money on spare clothes for everyone except Kita and Tokumei... and some swimsuits as well."

"I have some floaties for Tori-chan," Kita got some arm floaters. There's always that one friend who's incapable of swimming so she always brings them to the beach. Never know when you're gonna need them. 

"Doesn't she have enough of those already?" Nijika whispered, her jealousy obvious in her voice.

"...True," Kita looked down on her lack of a chest.
