Dumbbell Nan Kilo Moteru? – Episode 7 – Zina Discovers Satomi’s Secret Identity and Strange Idol Competition

Now that Zina transferred schools, she discovers Satomi’s secret hobby. Is Satomi’s teaching career now over?

With the gym is closed, Hibiki invites her friend to come to her work place. Believe it or not, her older brother runs a Yakiniku restaurant. Hibiki works there sometimes works there to help them out. Hibiki serves them different cuts of beef as the girls enjoy it.

Of course, Zina seems interested in how Hibiki gets her strength.  When she saw how much food Hibiki ate, she can see why. She thinks that Hibiki works out so much that she needs to eat a lot. In reality, Hibiki just like eating. The funny thing is that Hibiki is having money woes since she has to pay for the gym membership and food. Akemi mentions that she can have the school pay for her gym membership. In other words, Hibiki resolves her money problems just like that.

During class, I find it funny how she finds out that her teacher, Satomi is also Yulia Riko. Yes, that mole made it pretty obvious. If Satomi really wanted to make it a secret, she should have concealed that mole on her face. She eventually confronts her showing one of Satomi’s cosplay pictures. Satomi obviously becomes afraid that her teaching career might be over. She begs to Zina that she will do anything to prevent her cosplay identity from leaving out. Thankfully, Zina is not that mean, but still she got to take pictures of her in cosplay.

Talking about cosplay, it’s obvious by now that Zina obsesses over Japanese culture. She apparently learnt Japanese by watching anime, which is very dubious, which you can learn why here. It also reminds me of Kujou Karen since she learnt Japanese from manga. Also, Zina also enjoys looking at cosplay, idols and such. She even entered herself, Hibiki, Akemi, Ayaka and Satomi into an idol competition. Besides Satomi, the girls went along with it.

As for what happened at the auditions, Hibiki, Akemi, Ayaka, Zina and Satomi wore swimsuits with Satomi having a mask covering her face. Instead of dancing and singing, they show off weight training moves. This of course causes the judges to become very confused. Of course, the audience was excited. Understandably, the girls’ idol ambitions ended there. Still, I have to admit that this was hilarious. ¶
