"Deeper."
"Stop… I can't… I can't go any deeper…"
"Deeper."
"No… please stop… "
Ria groans.
Her skinny thighs burn.
She squeezed her tiny muscles.
"More."
"No… no more… please… it's too much…"
"More."
"No… please stop… I can't… it hurts…"
"Wider."
"No… anything but that… I can't go any wider."
"Wider."
"No… Not wider…"
Ria groaned as she bent her knees and pushed her bottoms back.
She raised her arms in front of her to keep her balance.
She squeezed her already fatigued legs, but they had nothing more to give.
Thud.
Ria fell backward onto her behind.
Her exercise mat caught her fall.
She rubbed her legs.
They were numb just after five squats.
She was amazed that she could manage even that many.
"Stretch."
Ria used her arm to straighten her.
She reached for her toes.
Her fingers hovered just an inch away from her sock.
It made her legs feel better.
Hikari took her position on her brand new exercise mat.
"Watch."
Feet placed shoulder-width apart.
She locked her fingers and held them up in front of her to center her weight.
Down.
Her knees bent past ninety degrees.
She effortlessly pushed herself back up.
Up, down, up, down.
Consistent form.
Each rep reaching the same height.
Even pauses between reps.
Her lady watched her.
"Like that."
Hikari completed her set.
Her movements were not those of a slow, lumbering giant.
They were the sharp, graceful movements of a trained dancer.
How many did she just do?
Twenty? Thirty?
"Watch."
I'm watching. You're so good at this, Hikari."
Hikari liked the compliment.
She continued her workout.
Faster.
Fifty reps went by in a breeze.
Her lady watched every one.
The giantess switched to a push-up position.
Ria could see her biceps pump kinetic force into the ground like a steam pump that powers cities.
Hikari finished her set. Fifty reps.
Every movement was just so immense.
Ria was sweating from just watching her.
Hikari was not done.
She flipped over.
Her lady's heart beats.
Sit-ups.
Her face appeared over her kneecaps.
Her chest touched the back of her leg as she reached the top of her motion.
One after the other, with unbroken rhythm.
Consistent, graceful, powerful.
The ground shook as the giantess landed on her back.
Fifty reps.
Hikari sat upright.
She reached for her water tank and drank.
Her lady stared.
Hikari nudged closer.
A stench filled Ria's nose.
She recoils.
"My lady?"
"Oh no, it's nothing. Looks like you sweat a little."
"Sorry."
"I don't mean that. Don't be embarrassed by your smelly feet. You should be proud of the hard work you put in."
Ria takes a deep breath. She wipes away her tears with her handkerchief.
"See, I don't mind. Your feet smell good."
Hikari looks at her.
Ria flinched.
She didn't know what she was saying anymore.
A steel bowl slid across the ground in front of Ria.
It was big enough for the petite lady to sit in.
It was filled with the thick protein mix.
"Eat."
"That's really meant for you."
"Eat."
Ria dips her teaspoon into the mix and eats.
She drinks from her teacup and pushes it down with water.
Hikari grabbed the bowl and poured half of it into her mouth.
She drank from her water tank, big enough to hold her lady.
Her cotton top was soaked.
Hikari flexed her biceps.
Her lady's face got redder.
"Crawl."
Ria jumped up and got onto her hands and knees.
She crawled back and forth in front of Hikari.
"Crawl."
Hikari stood up, looming over her.
Her giant foot stamps in front of Ria, making the ground shake.
She crawls towards the giantess's heels.
Hikari arches her foot.
Ria briefly sees the grey sock bottoms below her ankle.
Hikari pauses, waiting for Ria to catch up.
Ria's arms and legs burn from her earlier push-ups and squats.
A short, mid-pitched giggle from above.
One round around Hikari's exercise mat.
Ria drank thirstily from her teacup.
"Watch."
Cough. Ria choked on her water.
"My lady?"
"I'm alright… Please continue. I do quite enjoy watching you work… I hope one day, I will be able to do even a fraction of what you did…"
Ria was catching her breath.
A short mid-pitch giggle.
Hikari shuffled one foot in front of her lady.
Ria winced at the stench.
She looked up and saw a hint of mischievousness on Hikari's face.
Hikari held up her palm.
Ria felt a suffocating presence as Hikari channeled her telekinesis.
Her claymore flew to her.
The giantess caught the handle with one arm.
She balanced it on her shoulders.
Ria's heart skipped a beat.
"Watch."
Hikari bent her knees and performed a squat press.
"Mmm…!" Ria moaned.
The massive claymore rested on her shoulders.
Up, down, up, down.
Sharp, graceful, powerful.
Not a hint of wobbling.
Fifty reps.
Push-ups with her claymore balanced on her back.
Fifty reps.
Switch.
She rested the claymore on her abdominal muscles.
Sit-ups.
Fifty reps.
She nudged the bowl of protein in front of Ria.
Ria dipped the teaspoon into the bowl.
Cough! Cough!
A water tank loomed over her.
The flood of water overwhelmed her teacup and splashed onto her shirt.
"Watch."
Ria turned her eyes to Hikari, who drank the rest of the protein.
Hikari flexed her biceps.
Her lady's face got redder.
The giantess stood up.
"Crawl."
Ria got onto her hands and knees.
"Mmm…!"
The stench had gotten stronger.
A short giggle from above.
She crawls forward as though she were leashed to Hikari's ankles.
Hikari moves.
Ria crawls.
Hikari moves.
Ria crawls.
The burn in her legs.
She looks up on her hands and knees.
Hikari flexes both her arms above her.
Hikari nudges her foot forward.
"My lady?"
"I'm alright! I'm alright! I can do this."
Ria managed another round.
As her lady rests, Hikari takes her position on her exercise mat.
"Watch."
Ria gags and chokes.
"My lady?"
"I'm watching. Please, continue."
Ria could barely breathe.
She couldn't think straight.
Boom. Boom.
High knees.
Faster.
Boom. Boom.
Ria moans.
The sweat builds.
Boom. Boom.
Fifty reps.
A hundred.
Hikari raised her knees to her stomach in an alternating motion.
A hundred and fifty.
Her lady watches.
Her lady can no longer speak.
Her tops soak with her sweat.
Sweat beats flying.
Faster. Faster.
Her lady feels the ground shake.
Hikari stops.
She feels the stickiness in her socks.
Her lady faints.
