Season: Yumenosaki Era, Spring

Location: Infirmary

Sigh…

I’m so depressed, I wanna die…

I hate measuring my body…

I grew taller again…

How is that possible…? When I don’t even eat that much food…?

Is it my genes…?

Or is it from basketball…? Is it all basketball’s fault…?

It was supposed to just be an urban legend that basketball makes you grow taller…

And in reality, it’s just that tall people tend to play basketball, right…?

If anything, shouldn’t intense training during your growth period actually stiffen your muscles and make it harder to grow taller…?

Yet here I am, having grown ten centimeters taller than last year…

If I keep growing taller, I’m going to reach two meters at one point, y’know…?1

If I’m too big, I’ll have less options for clothes and shoes…

And people will think I look strong and make me do manual labor or put me against scary people to fight…

That’d be such a pain, and I hate scary things…

Huh…?

Hey… Erm, I think you’re the transfer student, Anzu-senpai…?

What’re you doing in the infirmary…?

Hmm, you’re helping out with the body measurements…?

“I’m collecting data on the idols weight and height, as part of my producer work”…?

Producers do all sorts of things, huh…?

Erm… There’s something I’d like to ask, could you knock down my data numbers by a few…?

You can’t? The data has to be accurate? Yeah, thought you’d say that… Well, I wasn’t expecting much, really…?

No, I’m not worried over my weight or anything, I’m not a girl…

It’s just that I don’t want to grow bigger, or more like, I don’t want to accept that I’ve grown bigger…

I’ve barely grown mentally, so what am I meant to do with just my physical appearance maturing…?

Mm? What’s that, a plushie? You’ll give it to me…?

It’s a yuruchara called “Blood Sample-kun”, given as a freebie to students who do blood tests…?

Did you make this, Senpai…?

You really do all kinds of things; it must be tough, huh…?

If you’ll give it to me, I’ll gladly take it. Erm, so I just need to do a blood test, right…?

Where do I sample my blood? Ah, there? Got it~…

Right then, please do your best with your work…

…………

Umm, this “Blood Sample-kun”… Are there other kinds like it…?

I’d like to complete the collecton, if possible…

I like stuff like this…

And I’m pretty big, so I’ll be fine even if I get my blood sampled a lot…♪
