My Favorite Isekai Adventure (Konosuba)

When Kobayashi first arrived in the world of Konosuba, in order to survive as quickly as possible, he would get up every morning to train his body. Although it was just basic exercise like running and stretching, it still allowed him to grow a little.

But after teaming up with Kazuma, Aqua, and the others, the matter of morning training was put to the back of his mind. He could use being "too busy" as an excuse, but his laziness was an indisputable fact.

How can I become stronger with such slothfulness? I'll start training tomorrow morning!

Day 21: Slacked off.

Day 22: Slacked off.

Day 23: Slacked off.

Day 24: Kobayashi, oh Kobayashi! How can you be so depraved! What happened to getting stronger? You can't go on being so muddle-headed!

Day 25: Slacked off.

Day 26: Slacked off.

...

You really couldn't blame him!

Every morning, the tender embrace of silver and blue trapped him, making it impossible to move.

The land of tenderness is a hero's tomb; the ancients truly did not deceive me.

That's right! It was definitely not his fault!

With that, he buried his head back in.

Unfortunately, RyuZU, who was behind him, gave him no opportunity to slack off. Seeing that he was awake, she said, "Master Kobayashi, it is time for your morning training."

"Urk..."

Kobayashi's movements froze.

To strengthen his resolve to train in the morning, he had specifically told RyuZU last night to wake him up, and that no matter how much he begged, she was not to let him be lazy.

Was this what they called lifting a rock only to drop it on one's own foot?

Kobayashi lifted his head, looking regretfully at the soft, water-blue land of tenderness.

There was no helping it. After all, his word was his ninja way.

He struggled out of bed and, under RyuZU's care, got dressed and walked out of the room. When he arrived in the courtyard, he found someone was already there. It was none other than the party's Crusader.

She wasn't wearing her knight's armor, but a set of light, form-fitting white training clothes. It was probably modified for comfort, especially in the chest area, which was very prominent.

No wonder she's so tanky. Turns out her front-mounted breastplate is thick, adding a lot to her defense.

He walked up and greeted her.

"Good morning, Darkness."

"Good morning, Kobayashi. Why are you up so early? It's rare. Are you planning on doing something?" Darkness seemed very surprised to see him.

"I used to get up this early every day before I lived with you all."

Kobayashi explained casually. Seeing the beads of sweat on her forehead, he said, "Same as you, morning training. It's my daily required course, but things have been too busy since we moved in together, so it's been delayed. Starting from today, I'm resuming my morning training."

"Is that so," Darkness nodded and invited him, "Care to join me?"

"I'd be delighted," Kobayashi readily agreed.

Darkness was a defense-focused Crusader, so the demands on her body were very high. Her training methods should be much more efficient than his. One could tell just by looking at her emerging abs.

"Haa... haa... haa... haa..."

"Wait, why are you panting?"

"Because you keep staring at me. You must be coveting my body. You must be fantasizing in your mind about how you're going to play with me... This is wonderful!"

"It's great that you're so energetic in the morning, but you've completely misunderstood!"

Kobayashi felt helpless in the face of the foolish, perverted knight. He rubbed his temples and explained, "I was just looking at your well-defined abs."

"A-abs... Nngh."

Darkness quickly covered her abdomen with both hands and squatted down, which also accentuated the perfect curve of her buttocks.

Her sudden action made Kobayashi feel strange.

"What's wrong, Darkness? Are you not feeling well?"

"D-don't look... don't look at my stomach."

She puffed up her cheeks and looked at Kobayashi with tears in her eyes, as if his words had really bothered her.

He remembered. Darkness was actually very self-conscious about her abs. Because of her excessive training, they had become more and more prominent, and people often told her she wasn't very feminine.

Kobayashi, on the other hand, had a different opinion.

"Why are you hiding them? Isn't this something to be proud of?"

"Eh? What did you say?"

"Not everyone has abs. Even I don't have them."

He lifted the hem of his shirt to reveal his abdomen, which was frustratingly flat and smooth.

Kobayashi gave a thumbs up and encouraged her, "So, you don't have to worry about it. There are many people who envy you, like me."

"Envy..." Darkness was silent for a moment, then asked, "Don't you think it's unfeminine for a girl to have abs, Kobayashi?"

"Why would I?"

"You're asking why..."

"Whether someone is feminine or not has nothing to do with whether they have abs. At least in my eyes, you are very feminine, Darkness."

...Provided you're not acting foolish, that is.

"I-is that so... I'm feminine too... hehehe, hehehe..."

She seemed very happy to be praised by him.

Darkness was a sheltered noble lady and lacked common sense, but her basic etiquette as a noble was impeccable. Especially when acting in her capacity as a noble, she was the very picture of femininity.

"Darkness, teach me how to train. I want to have abs too."

"O-okay, if you insist."

After that, she began to teach him how to train. Because his knowledge in this area was shallow, Kobayashi had simply thought that to get abs, all he had to do were sit-ups and crunches. But Darkness said that was for later; what he needed to do now was burn fat and lower his body fat percentage.

And under the current conditions, the fastest way to burn fat was—

"Let's jump rope!"

"Jump rope?"

"Jumping rope is very effective for weight loss, and it also increases stamina. It's perfect for you right now, Kobayashi."

"Oh, I see."

Darkness was the professional; he just had to follow her instructions.

"Alright then—"

The two of them created some distance and began to jump rope. It was fine at first, but as they continued, Kobayashi's body couldn't help but bend over, and after a short while, he couldn't go on.

"S-stop for a moment, I can't do it anymore."

"What, you're out of stamina after just 10 minutes?"

"No, it's just..."

Kobayashi was rather embarrassed. He couldn't very well say that watching her bouncing "rabbits" had made him want to draw his sword, could he?

Although they couldn't trace a breathtakingly perfect arc in the air like Wiz's, Darkness's were not far behind. Her up-and-down movements constantly drew his gaze, making it impossible for him to concentrate.

The temptation was too great!

Kobayashi turned around, not wanting her to see his embarrassment. "Sorry, I need to cool down."

"Oh, then I'll continue training."

Darkness started jumping again.

He had thought that he would calm down quickly if he didn't look, but when he closed his eyes, his mind replayed that powerful, bouncing sensation, causing him to lose control more and more.

Suddenly, a low cry came from behind him.

"Ah!"

"What's wrong?!"

"It's nothing, I just tripped."

Did she jump too fast? That happens with jump ropes; you get tripped up often.

For some reason, his own calf started to hurt a little.

A short while later.

"Ah!!"

"What is it now?!"

"It's nothing, it just got a little tight."

"A little tight?"

Oh, did the rope get tangled? That's a pain to undo.

And a little while after that.

"Ah!!!"

"What is it this time?!"

"Mmph mmmphh!!!"

Darkness's muffled cry made Kobayashi feel that something was wrong. He turned around to see her mouth had been bound by the jump rope.

And not only that.

The thin rope was also cinched around her voluptuous body, the stark contrast creating a huge impact on his eyeballs.

"How in the world did you get yourself into this situation?!"

"Mmph mmmphh..."

Hearing this, Darkness became even more agitated. But as she struggled, the rope only got tighter, further accentuating her ample chest and her firm, round buttocks.

Could she still be called a knight with no vulnerabilities?

She was nothing but vulnerabilities right now!

...

...

Wait, hurry up and put that raised butt of yours away! It's too eye-catching!
