Dumbbell Nan Kilo Moteru? – Episode 5 – The Surprising Relay Race Outcome

Now that summer break is over, the sports festival nears. Of course, Hibiki dreads this day as she doesn’t enjoy sports.

While Hibiki and her friends are disappointed that they can’t play in the ocean. At least they made the best out of their summer break. With that, the sports festival nears and Hibiki dreads this. Each student has to draw from the box to see which activity they will do. Sadly, Hibiki is left with the 400-meter relay race.

This time, Hibiki wants to make sure that she doesn’t loses. Machio shows her the curl up machine, which trains muscles for running. I find it funny how Hibiki becomes fired up all the sudden. It’s because she learned that she can firm up her butt. As expected, she went overboard with the training that she couldn’t walk.

However, she is not admitting defeat. Despite Akemi being good at running, she did additional training. Besides running, she done bicycle crunches. When it comes to the actual race, Hibiki was in to win it now instead of settling with last place. However, the person on her team dropped the baton. Hibiki picks it up and tries to catch up to Akemi. She manages to cross the finish line and thought she got 2^nd place. Sadly, Satomi disqualify her since her team-mate had to pick up the baton that she dropped. I guess Murphy’s law got the best of Hibiki.

Thankfully, Hibiki got her revenge match on Akemi. She challenges to a sauna endurance match. Not so surprisingly, Akemi and Ayaka were the first ones to leave. As for Satomi, it looked like she was going to win. In reality, she kind of passed out, thus she got disqualified.

In the end, Hibiki won and received all the raffle tickets. Sadly, she only got 4 Silverman Gym t-shirts that she didn’t want. Ironically, Akemi wanted them for some reason. I guess she can have all of them now. ¶
