David and Reine were actually bringing Tohka and Kotori home to show them the new house first before they would head to the warehouse where the others were. David felt proud that his family managed to recruit four Sacred Gear users after only three weeks.

4:30pm

Shido's House

David: "We're home, kids. This is where you'll be living from now on. I hope you'll get along with each other nicely."

Tohka replied: "Yup! I think we can get along with each other!"

Kotori cheerfully agreed: "Mhm! You bet! I promise that I will be good to all of you!"

Reine smiled with gratitude and said: "That's great to hear. Now come on inside. We want to show you the place and then when we're finished, please leave your bags here and follow us to where Shido and the others are."

The four of them entered the house and immediately showed them the different rooms and their purposes. Tohka and Kotori were especially excited when they learned that they got their own rooms. They also particularly liked the kitchen and the dining room because of its architecture and design. They looked forward to having meals together with their new family in their new house.

Once the house tour was finished, Tohka and Kotori left their bags in their rooms as instructed and left the house with Reine and David and began driving to the warehouse where Shido and the others were.

MEANWHILE

Just an hour ago, Origami began teaching Shido and Yoshino different types of dynamic and static stretching to improve the flexibility of their bodies and prevent any difficulties from moving their joints when they started the real workouts. Both of them felt a lot of pain when they stretched their arms and legs in positions they didn't even feel was possible for them, such as the hamstring stretch and standing up straight then bending down to touch your feet with your fingertips.

Shido and Yoshino felt discouraged that they wouldn't be able to become stronger, but Origami decided to encourage them by saying some motivational words to help them understand the importance and the benefits of stretching and working out daily.

Origami: "Don't worry, all of us were once weak. You're not trying to impress anyone so just focus on your own progress. Rome wasn't built in a single day so keep trying every day and you will get better. Trust the process and you'll eventually be the best. Never give up."

Suddenly, Shido and Yoshino felt a huge surge of motivation that empowered both of them to keep working hard.

They agreed to continue doing stretching with Origami before moving onto the actual exercises and workouts which improves muscle strength and power
